Just a quick comment in all of the speculation. Tasks are not changed at the last moment to favor teams; the elimination points are not changed, i.e., a non-elimination leg remains a non-elimination leg. I don't know if it is still being done, but in the early seasons, it was mentioned that production actually prepared a sworn affidavit, prior to the start of filming,of the tasks that would be used and at what point so as to avoid claims that tasks were changed on the spot to favor any team.The affidavit, as I understood what was mentioned at the time, also included the backup tasks or legs in case of problems at any point in the race. There's absolutely no way a last minute change in location or tasks can be made without some advance preparation (local production crew and extras) so it can be executed and keep filming on track.It irritates me to no end when there's a suggestion such as changing a task or an elimination point to favor keeping a particular team in the race. Among other things, since TAR is legally considered under US law to be a game show, it is required to comply with federal law that prohibits manipulation of the game elements to favor or not favor particular teams.
I'd read an info on wikipedia that there are 10 countries that will visit on TAR 20, Japan is the 10th one and so which Asian country will be the 9th one? Could be in Thailand or China, again?!

The possibility exists that Osaka is a TBC "keep on racing" leg. Or else they have the shortest PitStop ever. (Which could be, I think last season's was < 8 hours.)http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,26553.msg747166.html#msg747166
Regarding the finish line, in the preview i counted 7 teams (meaning 4 were missing) so what do you all think about the possibility of it being a final 4 in the US? or, someone may have got seriously injured and didnt make the finish line.

Interesting, Zev and Justin were at the finish line in TAR18. Maybe this confirms peach's KRL theory?
Is there any idea on what a final memory task could be(if there is one?)I was thinking eitherA) Clue boxes(it would have made TAR19 Better)B) Food (Empanadas, Water, Watermelon, Salami, gingerbread, apples, ? , honey?, sushi etc)

It is a little bit strange that 4 teams can race to the finish line...But I do think that the 4th team may be fall behind a lot so that they do not appear in the finish lineAlso,I think the team who don't do the roadblock,may not be Dave and Rachel,as they have same experience and they learn a lesson in Paraguay leg.
