I have some more information for u Platrium:

Madagascar is located off the coast of Africa and hasn't been visited since Season 10 (the same with Monoglia, haha)

Finland was visited in season 10 as well. However, (as Platrium said), the pit stop was located in Ukraine!

Kuwait and Mauritius were also visited in Season 10. Ecuador was visited in Season 11 (I would love for all of these three countries to be featured in TAR 30)

Guam is located in Oceania and was visited in Season 11 (I think). Guam is a U.S island territory with a population of 165,124 people!

Puerto Rico is a U.S unincorporated territory and was visited in Season 7.

 

I'm pretty sure RFF'a are good at geography

[Platrium]

I know where they are located, I've just never been to them, because $$$.

I think we're not supposed to be discussing this in this thread, lol.

Can we move on?

Oh, whoops! I thought u wanted those facts! 

[TheBayAreaGuy]

The Beauty Queens are definitely one of the more underrated teams in TAR history.

Which list would u guys prefer?

I would choose Flight Time and Big Easy's list, because they went to Australia, the UAE, Cambodia and Malaysia! 

I'll expand on this then.

Dustin & Kandice's list seems cooler, and the additions of the autonomous regions makes it even cooler!

~Mongolia hasn't been visited by TAR since season 10, and I think there's more to see from that place.
~Madagascar seems like a cool place.
~Finland never had a proper pit stop, plus I think there's more we need to see from that place.
~Kuwait, Ecuador, and Mauritius aren't very well known countries, so it's cool.
~Mozambique was last visited in TAR11, and I wanna see more from there.
~Guam!? Only TAR showed me what's in Guam. I think there's more to see.
~HK & Macau are cool Chinese places.
~The Puerto Rico bonus sounds awesome for them.

Of course, I'm not saying FT&BE's list is bad, because I also like their list:
~Japan is wackily awesome.
~UAE looks like a fun and fancy place.
~Estonia and Czech Republic are some of other undervisited places of TAR.
~Australia is cool.
~Sweden is something similar to Finland, also interesting to see.
~Liechtenstein is a small land that needs some recognition.
~Austria and Switzerland are other cool European place.

I think my comments on the countries are weird.

[amazing1604]

well, the only impossible tasks i can relate to are the ones involving languages or forms of comunication..

Season 15 - Leg 8 Detour: Viking Alphabet (none of the teams even attempted to do it)
Season 16 - Leg 5 Detour: In The Trenches (Joe & Heidi u-turned and failed to decode the message)

Season 12 - Leg 10 Detour: Earth (none of the teams had to do it)
Season 14 - Leg 10(a) Detour: Sync (Kisha & Jen and Tammy & Victor failed to dive)
Season 17 - Leg 11 Detour: Full Bottle (none of the teams had to do it)

Season 17 - Leg 3 Detour: Language Arts where they had to solve a massive Adinkra word search-like puzzle in Ghana
Season 15 - Leg 11 Roadblock: The KAFKA thing by hundreds of telephone?

After TARA5, Leg 9, I'm wondering...

Has there ever been a Yield AND a U-Turn in the same Leg before? Not to mention, the penultimate Leg too.

[BourkieBoy]

What would of happened if Nancy and Emily completed the detour properly.

Would of they made the final 3?

[TheBayAreaGuy]

It would be a tight-race between them and Kevin & Drew. Joe & Bill would've been out at F5 since they were so behind Nancy & Emily.

No,that was the first time (and hopefully the last in a penultimate leg) we saw this.

[CanadianOwl]

It wouldn't have mattered much, because they were behind Kevin and Drew, and in the next leg, Kevin and Drew ended up 15 hours behind (and then 24 hours behind in China) due to hours of operation. Nancy and Emily would just caught up to Kevin and Drew, and it would've been fight for 3rd place.

Would you like to give your PROOF for each of those please? 

[BourkieBoy]

Check the link peach

[georgiapeach]

YOU are telling ME to check the link?

The point is that YOU do not have direct knowledge of any of those legs. Many of those are just spec. Some were directly confirmed later.

GB asked for facts, not spec. So unless YOU can confirm some of those, it would be better to say "this thread suggests these" rather than presenting that list as fact. And that goes for everyone.

I do NOT want to see us quoted as "RFF says" unless we have direct evidence. Spec should be marked as such. We take great pride in our detecting and spoilers here, so lets all try to be very sure that what is posted is accurate.

Thanks!

[georgiapeach]

GB:

Belize>>confirmed by production
Laos >> Directly confirmed to me.
Melbourne >>unknown. We had what I consider EXCELLENT spoiler info about a leg. However on the ground crews were unable to confirm any of  it and we did not later see it, ...so either it was misinformation or misdirection or a last minute change.

I would have to go thru my files on the others, if you want to message me after the holidays we can take another look. I can't confirm any of those off the top of my head. 

[BritishTARFan]

I did hear that due to Swine Flu Tar 15 was meant to have legs in Rio, Ghana & The Balkans but were replaced. But that could have just been spec.

Well that's the thing. I double checked on that wiki and it had the same answer that I did (JJ having only done four), so I knew that it was wrong just like I was.

[Art and J.J.]

GB

You are correct. Leg 4 we did a FF in Italy and in Leg 7 we did all challenges together in the first of two legs in Tanzania.

Greatest adventure of my life! I have endless memories!
