  • Is it really that time again?
I highly doubt that they would force a team to quit the Roadblock at any point, but especially in the penultimate leg.

It looks to me that unless there are several rooms of telephones set up, teams have to take turns performing the roadblock; so I'm guessing get it wrong, you have to wait for your next turn.

I'm thinking the Golems might be parked on the west bank of the river behind the Kafka museum. There's a a little dirt patch at the riverbank, and the two street signs look the same. I can't quite match the windows in the background; streetview won't give me the right angle. Here's the viewpoint, turn/zoom to see what I mean.

OK, I'm reasonably sure now. The windows seem to match.

  • JTAR Season 1 is on RIGHT NOW!
Umm I'd like to point out when CBS said "intoxicated locals" they mean drunk locals

So Bricka has to do the speedbump and get their detour clue at the club/bar.

Something like the Montevideo Disco task in season 5.

Start leg:
Get your clue at the bar

3 teams search for clue in a random way in the bar/Brian and Ericka speedbump clue box

Detour: Deliver wine or Deliver slime LOL

Route Marker somewhere

Roadblock: Phone Challenge (Big Easy takes the penalty)

Pitstop results: M/C S/D B/E B/F [ELIMINATED]
Jerry's fantasy game partcipation:
Vic's 4th Race: Jerry and Uycocoa Eliminated
MTAR Season 3: Jerry and Panda (Natasha and Paula) Eliminated

JTAR Season 1 Nanaimo Leg is on right now!

I'd call that a match, the little red sign on the top right of the taller building can't be all that common.

every street sign in downtown Prague is the same (red with white lettering). Still, it looks like a match to me.
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

Random thought!

Is there ANY chance that Leg 11 is a TBC and someone gets eliminated at the midpoint (start with an elim near the start of the episode - like the F4 of Exile Island)?
I'm baaaaaack!

 :lol:  Just thinking about that room with the phones.... wonder if the WRP producers are clever enough to use a former Communist relic like the Czech Secret Police (StB) Headquarters... or even the Unitas Hotel/Prison next door... or even the Museum of Communism.   :ascared   Naaahhh! they're not that bright... it's probably just a empty warehouse or some such location...  :funny:

Would this make a difference? I think I see Praha 6, but that's no help: it's the largest district of Prague.

I have a question though. There are 3 Xs on the sheet, when she wrote FARNZ, but it's supposed to be FRANZ right? So, could the Xs mean how many letters ARE correct. I mean, she only got two letters wrong.

EDIT: Anyways, for the place, I see 1900 Praha 6, or 1506 Praha 8.

According to Wikipedia the last line should be the postal code + Praha + district.
In Prague the postal code also matches the district - so addresses in district 6 would be 16xxx - district 5 would be 15xxx.

I would discard the museum of communism because it's on a second floor. Now the old Headquarters could very well be it.

I think it's well established that Bertram has little if no control over the CBS promo junkies.
