A Varanasi map in progress: the hay alley and dairy farm, as well as the tonga, are still unknown.

The cap suggests a busy intersection with a central post and a large road sign. No street view but Godowlia crossing looks promising; not tied to it, though.
Fwiw, according to this blog gobar pathna is the name for cow-chip manufacturing. Also, some Hindi resources.

It looks like (if they are at the roadblock) Mallory, Zev, Christina and Cord (the ginger cowboy I think) are sitting out, which means Gary, Justin, Ron and Jet are doing the roadblock.

I feel more confident about it now: they're waiting at godowlia chowk (caps from the promo and this video).

After some googling of baba black (And wading through nursery rhymes :lol3:), I have come up with a company in Varanasi, could the intersection be near here?

The roadblock is the one similar to the roadblock on the first season of TARA, the **** roadblock in Leg 9b...

Have you notice this pattern yet?

If you don't know what i'm talking about, i'll tell then.

The past 4 teams that have been eliminated are from season 14, since there are 5 team all-stars from that season. It's most likely that Kisha & Jen will be the next to go (bye bye season 14 teams) or end up in the final 3 in the end.

Well that's my opinion, hmm... have to wait 2 weeks for the new episode.

K/J looks like an FF (seems like the right time) - FFs have been in weird/out of the way locations before + it doesn't look like a big enough area to be a detour choice

Welcome to RFF JDoubleG! That would be interesting, if that happens.


I think the title of the episode would be "The crap you do for a million dollars."  :lol:

Since the cluebox is literally right there and isn't obscured by any gates or fences, I'd have to suggest Roadblock.

The task that Kisha and Jen were shown doing...

From TARA 1: (source wikipedia, India LEG 9 PART 2)
Quote
In the Roadblock for the second half of the leg, one team member from each team had to carry pails of cow manure and then use it to make dung cakes by adding water and sticking them onto the wall. If they drop, teams would have to re-do that one.

Is this the first time we have a task from OTHER editions of TAR crossover to the original version of TAR? :hearts:

I would wager Roadblock. It is Justin and Gary's turn.
