For the final memory task, I've noticed a pattern: So far the first task in each leg was to find a person

Leg One: Find Javier for the paragliding
Leg Two: Find the Officer of the day on board Esmeralda

I think in the third leg in Lisbon they have again to find someone. If that's the first task, it could mean something.
Maybe it doesn't even need to be the first one but just remembering A NAME of someone you have met during every Leg could be a thing, is harder that remembering a Place or a Face... Arturo Prat could be the name on Leg 2...
Leg 3: Find the Portuguese singer in a red? dress (stagecoach painting clue)

If Norway will require finding a person, it's a definite lock or else in Juneau I would be shocked. :yess:

It didn't hold up, Leg 4 didn't have anyone in particular, maybe the people at the pitstop party?

Could there be a transportation memory task? :ascared We've seen different modes of transportation in all the legs so far.

Leg 1 (Gliders), Leg 2 (Bikes), Leg 3 (Trolley), Leg 4 (Speedboat)

If this is right, then Gdansk, Poland will likely feature a ferry.

I still think about TAR 12 memory final roadblock. Should the mix of many stuff at Detour, Route Info, Roadblock, Pit Stop.

I fear Tim & Danny is going home after the next leg. :( I just wonder if they got u-turned (and if they did, I wonder who) or they had difficulty with a task.

If Leg 4 wasn't a TBC or a NEL (and assuming that the bunnies caught up), Tim & Marie's mistakes would've have them eliminated with an express pass (or 2). They have to go back and get the Viking Longhouse clue if I'm not mistaken, right?

They might survive though, we really don't know.

They will definitely survive leg 4 since it's a TBC. I was saying that if leg 4 wasn't a NEL/TBC. :)

We'll have to wait and see. It's still early in the Race to make a conjecture. There will be more evidence if we wait until Leg 7. So far, I can't imagine a teammate dragging an entire glider or canoe onto a platform to represent Leg 1. The fish has been featured in the previous Leg (Norway) and in Iquique already so I'm kind of doubting this task being used, but my doubts are usually reality soo... :juggle

Do you think we will have another "Charla & Mirna in Poland" story again?

So, I took a look at the Timeline and I have a feeling that the Viking Coins from Leg 4 will be used in the vending machine task in Japan.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

the title for the 8th leg of TAR 23 is One Hot Camel and I think they're still racing in Abu Dhabi or they're going to Dubai, again which is a few distance away from that city? :colors

nah, since I haven't watched this week's episode yet, I do believe there's a connection to it on the annual celebration of a festival in Poland about the visitation of the Vikings to that country, and I found this one from facebook acct: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wolin-Viking-festival/56771576185 and also this one: http://www.poland.travel/en/festival/slavs-and-vikings-festival-festiwal-slowian-i-wikingow

It's been a long, long time since we've seen camels on TAR, and we're way overdue for the return of Sheky.

There's a livestock market at al-Ain in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, where there are plenty of camels...
(The market is right behind a modern, nicely air-conditioned shopping mall...)

So is Tim/Danny eliminated this next Vienna leg or the first Abu Dhabi? We know that the Final 6 is Nicky/Kim, The Iceghanimals, Tim/Marie, Travis/Nicole, and Jason/Amy.

:torche Maybe this time. Then we know F5 does not include the bunnies. Then probably the Ice Girls go home after the bunnies (not sure though).

Nope, Nicky/Kim are only safe until the end of this episode. Vienna could be a NEL and Nicky/Kim could be eliminated in Abu Dhabi 1 aka they may possibly be booted at the F7 :)
