Blair used his camera to take a picture of a map on Amsterdam on the local's phone.

Has anyone managed to win three legs in row to finale? Looks like there is only four row leg wins or two.

*delete*

I'm misreading your question. Sorry :( Looks like only 2 and 4 in a row.

*but don't worry, Blair & Hayley might be the first team to make it lol :D*

Max & Katie won 3 legs in a row before the finale, but they didn't win the race. (There may be others, I didn't check everyone)
So I guess your question is whether any teams have won 2 legs pre-finale in a row and then the third in a row which is the finale. The answer to that would be BJ & Tyler (TAR 9) :)

In TAR15, Meghan and Cheyne won the final 4 legs. They also won the first leg.

In the same season, Sam and Dan finished 2nd in the final 4 legs. Eric and Jeremy also finished 2nd in the last 4 legs in TAR9.

Does anybody know what font is used for the teams' names on their U-turn photos?

When will they start filming for TAR 27?
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

How strict are the producers at enforcing the rules along the way? For example as far as I understand it teams are forbidden to move each other's belonging. But still Jeff & Jackie moved Tyler's fanny pack (form the back seat to under the front seat) in Munich and we didn't see any penalty.

If production had been real strict then Jeff & Jackie could have taken something like a jacket and used it to cover the fanny-pack. They can do this without moving the fanny-pack, but Laura & Tyler will then be unable to get the fanny-pack without moving the jacket.

Would this work or is it to be too creative with the rules?

Jeff & Jackie said they didn't touch the fanny pack during the elimination interview.

Either that or they picked it up to see what it was, and then followed the rules by putting it back where it was before, but just happening to smoosh it further under the seat.

Why in Tar Australia 2 did they fly to Amsterdam just to go to Prague and the same with Tar Asia in Frankfurt? Prague has an airport capable of taking long distance flights with a connection through maybe Munich, Paris or Dubai.

you can never go wrong with donuts, even if you go to another country just for them!

I think in TAR Australia that was the case (country count) especially since their final task was identifying flags.

For TAR Asia 2, I think initially it's so that production can get a leg up on teams since the next several legs would have no bunches (and then once Terri & Henry were like 80 days behind it ensured that production and teams weren't on the same flight to Germany). The US version tends to do this often as well.

What season and episode where teams had to travel using hot air balloon? I definitely want to watch that.

TAR Philippines is in Taglish. Every contestant and the host speak in a unique mix of the English and Tagalog languages, and the programme assumes that the viewer knows both. It's fairly understandable, but not completely in English.

Are teams allowed to back-out a day before the race? If so, will this affect the filming dates, or will the replacement team be pressured to prepare?

Has leg 11/12 of TAR ever visited the very first country to be visited on the next season?
