I hear on Twitter that Rachel and Brendon will be on TAR, Please tell me this is just a rumor! I would hate to see them again, What is the chance of a All-Star season?

maybe its just a cameo like a team(forgot who) were hot dog vendors on tar family

Kevin and Drew...

Aren't Brendon & Rachel from Big Brother? That wouldn't make them all-stars, it'd make them the same as Jordan & Jeff. If they are popular with fans and the producers like them, I don't think it'd be too surprising if they were a team. I don't watch Big Brother so someone who does can correct me.

As for the route, only the first season have they gone to Africa the first leg. They've gone west twice in a row so we can probably rule that out, unless they were to start with South America and then fly across the Pacific.

Because, when TAR goes to a new country, usually they plan at least one full leg in the capital city of that country before going to other places.. CMIIW  :)


It's what usually happens, but sometimes it don't. It has been like what, 3-4 visits to Brazil in 18 seasons, with multiple visits to Rio de Janeiro, we've yet to see Brasilia, which still has a lot of iconic arquitecture despite being a very boring place.

I'm still very curious if we'll get something special theme wise being it the 20th season of the show.

I really hope the twentieth season celebrates everything TAR has given us so far by creating at least 2-3 Switchbacks (or more) of some of the most iconic TAR challenges - I could list a thousand different challenges that would make good Switchbacks, but my frontrunner is the Champagne Towers from TAR16, except making it a Roadblock.
Why? Just wondering. That task didn't seem very memorable.

I dunno - I just loved that task... :duno:

As for the route, only the first season have they gone to Africa the first leg. They've gone west twice in a row so we can probably rule that out, unless they were to start with South America and then fly across the Pacific.

It would be nice if they went to Africa first, as it is the twentieth season. South America also hasn't been visited on Leg 1 since TAR16, so it is definitely possible - and they haven't gone to SA and then flown across the Pacific since TAR13, so it would be good to see. As you mentioned, they've gone west twice in a row, so maybe they will rule it out, but I think it is still possible. It should be interestting either way.

Personally, I hope it is Europe or Africa first, with a lot more legs in those two continents.
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

I really hope the race picks countries which they either haven't visited yet or haven't visited in a long time.

Some countries which they haven't visited (and might appeal) include
Europe: Latvia, Belarus, Serbia, Malta, Israel (They love the TAR in Israel), Bosnia and Herzegovina

Americas:French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname and (A whole stack of Caribbean islands)-Greenland would be super cool too

Asia: Maldives, Nepal, Armenia, Azerbaijan (interesting if they visit), Cyprus, Georgia, Qatar, Bahrain, Uzbekistan

Just some food for thought

Regarding Baybay's post in the locked topic. Sunset in San Fran was 41 minutes ago.

ETA: I see that tweet was an hour ago. Hmm.. ???

It's actually a great view of the Golden Gate. Would make a great starting line.

Think its a false alarm:

Apparently, they were just filming the promo for it. Something about a "husbands and wives" edition

Doesn't really sound like something TAR would do.. unless they were trying to throw him and us off!

There's nothing in Twitter about people seen some 11 cars going directly to an airport, nor people seen in the airport nor a passport lost in a petrol station and advertised on Twitter. :lol3:

I don't think it is our TAR. We've always found so many things and tweets uploaded when TAR started.

Hello!
1st post on this forum.
I'm from Latvia.
Latvia is never visited in The Amazing Race, so maybe in next season we are going to see my country.

I'm going to post information, if i will hear something about The Amazing Race filming here.

(sorry for my english)
