Maybe match up all the locations where you saw LIVE Phil doing his standups??

MrDeerShank · « **Reply #1 on:** October 17, 2014, 09:16:57 PM »

That would seem implausible as it would only be teams who were first that would see him, plus I don't think there was one for Leg 3 either :/

MrDeerShank · « **Reply #4 on:** October 17, 2014, 09:24:31 PM »

I try my best

Thinking maybe something like alternative clues (we had the Gold Bar for Leg 1, Bowler Hat for Leg 2, Medallion in Leg 3) but then it fell down in Leg 4 as there was no alternative clue (unless you want to count the Ford C-Max, but I doubt it)

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2014, 09:27:27 PM »

I still have my theory of clue givers relating to a memory task.

Leg 1 (Blackbeard), Leg 2 (Pearly Royalties), Leg 3 (Puffin), Leg 4 (Ida Davidsen as at least one teammate of each team saw her in the Roadblock.)

theschnauzers · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2014, 10:17:28 PM »

How about dog breeds seen this season -- schnauzer in leg 2, the Shetland breed in leg 3 and the Great Danes at the pitstop in leg 4.

MrDeerShank · « **Reply #7 on:** October 18, 2014, 06:35:43 AM »

Where was the dog in Leg 1?

Sam‽ · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2014, 06:45:02 AM »

I was thinking silver things, seeing as Phil kept going on about a silver anniversary at the start of the race, but then I realised the clue in the treasure on Leg 1 was gold (it still looks silver to me). But the Pearly Kings and Queens on Leg 2, and then the brooch clue for the pit stop on Leg 3. I didn't notice anything on Leg 4 though, so I think I'm probably wrong and that I'm going crazy.

Jobby · « **Reply #9 on:** October 18, 2014, 09:26:15 AM »

Leg 1 they were given a compass.
Leg 2 was the hat they were given.
Leg 3 was the brooch.

Haven't seen leg 4. But this could be it

In an insider video with Phil/Adam/Bethany, they check out the greeter and Phil says "Season of the Bird"

georgiapeach · « **Reply #25 on:** November 24, 2014, 03:29:33 PM »

How is Churchill or the dogs a bird?

All I can think of is they are all very distinctive, so maybe it is just match greeter to leg.

Jobby · « **Reply #26 on:** November 24, 2014, 03:42:59 PM »

As for the Churchill leg 2.. there is just no bird lol.

RaceUntilWeDie · « **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2014, 04:54:13 PM »

Maybe there will be 11 slots for a bird, but they must acknowledge that only 8 or 9 legs featured a bird by leaving them blank/empty idk.

theschnauzers · « **Reply #34 on:** November 24, 2014, 11:01:34 PM »

They could very well have a task where a bird is shown for each previous leg, and the teams have to correctly identify whether that particular species of bird was seen in that leg.

That would be an extra-tough memory task, as they've never done a memory challenge where some leg didn't have X, or the X wasn't the correct one for that leg.

Declive · « **Reply #35 on:** November 26, 2014, 09:26:36 AM »

It's definitly the birds/feathers.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #36 on:** November 26, 2014, 10:00:13 AM »

I don't think so. That leaves out too many legs.

BritishTARFan · « **Reply #37 on:** November 27, 2014, 11:39:41 AM »

His may be a bit easy but what about the languages

Virgin Islands - English
London - English
Shetlands - English / Scottish Gaelic
Copenhagen / Malmö - Danish / Swedish
Marrakech - French / Spanish / Arabic
Palermo - Italian
Malta - Maltese
Singapore - English / Malay / Mandarin / Tamil
Philippines - English / Filipino

Declive · « **Reply #38 on:** November 27, 2014, 01:25:57 PM »

I don't think it's the languages. We've had that in TAR21 already.

tarflyonthewall · « **Reply #39 on:** November 27, 2014, 07:07:24 PM »

I think the two most likely options are going to be national outlines - there has to be a reason every single location this season except Morocco is an island (even downtown Malmo is built on islands) - or cluegivers/alternative clueboxes.

claude_24hrs · « **Reply #40 on:** November 27, 2014, 08:55:24 PM »

Let us just forget the National Anthems task based on countries visiting the race (reposted from my post at Bitch, Moan & Squeal thread):

Quote from: claude_24hrs on September 22, 2014, 12:11:57 AM

USA - "Star Spangled Banner" (US Virgin Islands - "Virgin Islands March")
UK (England) - "God Save the Queen" (Scotland - "Flower of Scotland" (unofficial))
Denmark - "Der er et yndigt land" ("There is a Lovely Country") / Sweden - "Du gamla, du fria" ("Thou Ancient, thou Free")
Morocco - "Hymne Cherifien" ("Cherifian Hymn")
Italy (Sicily) - "Il Canto Degli Italianni" ("The Chant of the Italians")
Malta - "L-Innu Malti" ("The Maltese Hymn")
Singapore - "Majulah Singapura" ("Onward Singapore")
Philippines - "Lupang Hinirang" ("Chosen Land")

georgiapeach · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2014, 11:02:42 PM »

When did we hear the National anthems?

I think all memory challenges have been based on footage seen on the show.

albegrato · « **Reply #42 on:** November 28, 2014, 03:07:47 AM »

I realy have no clue as to what the memory task could be, if there even is one

The obvious way to go is the pit stop greeters (Phil did say he wanted to incorporate the greeters more). Two other options did pop up in my head, but it's always incomplete if you go leg by leg.
1) feathers/birds (the 2 birds at 2 pit stops does suggest it)
2) metallic objects on the race (like the St. Ninians artifact in Leg 3 or the candelabra clue holder in Leg 5)

If there is going to be a memory task, maybe they'll go by it like in season 14, where it's just random things you see during the race.

MrDeerShank · « **Reply #43 on:** November 28, 2014, 07:57:35 PM »

Anybody else think the man with the board saying, "ONWARD SINGAPORE" was such a random cluegiver...? So could cluegivers legitimately be the FMT?

Leg 1:

(I can't remember - was Blackbeard a clue giver)
Leg 2: Pearly Man/Woman
Leg 3: Puffin
Leg 4:

(Again, can't remember, possibly Ida Davidsen)
Leg 5:

(can't remember)
Leg 6:

(never watched the leg)
Leg 7: The racing legend after the RB (?)
Leg 8: The knights
Leg 9: Guy with ONWARD SINGAPORE board

Jobby · « **Reply #44 on:** November 29, 2014, 03:05:27 AM »

I think we've seen some animals/birds at the pit stop. That could be one challenge where they have to spot the correct 5 out of a total of 100 images idk.

There's also sheep, puffin, ox etc which the teams have seen as well. So it could be a repeat of TAR 3 memory challenge?

stekay · « **Reply #45 on:** November 29, 2014, 10:26:34 AM »

Could be something along the lines of TAR12

tarflyonthewall · « **Reply #61 on:** December 11, 2014, 12:46:52 AM »

It's possible islands could have been the original idea - it's too bizarre not to have been when every location except one was an island - but that it was changed to something like cluegivers if Morocco was an emergency leg or something. With the big jump from Malta to Singapore, it seems possible the original route could have been straight from Copenhagen to Palermo, and then from Malta to... whichever of Bahrain or Qatar is the island, I always get them mixed up... to Singapore.

There was a screen-cap in a shipyard in the finale preview. There were what looked like 3 letters on each shipyard container. My guess is airport codes for each leg/country of the race...

I have always lurked and read people's comments but I figure that I'd contribute this time. I wonder what preparation each team has for the memory task, as smart teams would write as much as possible about everything they can remember (airport, locations, food, people, money), while most others just wing it. Tammy and Victor come to mind with their "note-taking"...

Honestly, some of the past memory tasks were terrible, but some were so good.

I think Nat & Kat also did note-taking when they won. Had I been on the season with the final memory task being greetings & farewells, I think I would have done a fine job with it as I knew quite a lot of greetings and farewells in foreign languages (especially the Russian greeting and farewell)!

I also think the airport code has some possibility because the "shipyard" location has some kind of "international destinations all over the world meet at this port"... who knows, lol. Sounds very "introduction material" for introducing the task.

One of other memory tasks I liked was the "find the clue" task with like hundreds of clue boxes in Washington state (?). I would have gone crazy!

The .com/1zyv6d.jpg]wide pan of Bethany wandering around the container park shows three identical setups in a row, each with a different colored mat (one yellow, which .com/w7ohl1.jpg]Bethany is presumably working on)

Maybe it is a repeat of the TAR 12 task, except with the added difficulty of having to search through the containers for items? It would certainly explain the multiple bikes, birds, and animal byproducts.

Interesting you should mention the pan shot...you can see 3 cabs and what looks like 3 reach stackers waiting. Coincidence?
Or maybe containers have to be stacked in a particular order.
Also notice the narrow file (single file in spots) near the front, atypical for the rest of the yard.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #76 on:** December 14, 2014, 01:23:22 AM »

ANY smart racer keeps extensive notes along the way and studies them religiously.

And if there are only three setups at the container yard, our leg 12 Elimination has to be after the Movie Stunt Challenge....and before the containers.

wishicouldrun · « **Reply #77 on:** December 14, 2014, 08:56:29 AM »

I think Bethany is either very far ahead or far behind. She's wearing a yellow vest and Amy is wearing a blue vest in the finish line pictures. I'm also assuming the color vest correspond to the mats. I can't clearly expand the shipping yard pictures, but the yellow mat is empty and the two on either sides have stuff on it. So if the goal is to locate objects in the shipping containers and place them on the mat, then Bethany is far behind. If they have to place an object into the container, then she is far ahead.

mikelee · « **Reply #78 on:** December 14, 2014, 10:04:55 AM »

Hm, maybe it's not airport codes. I can't read the shipping container in front of each platform but it looks the same for them all. LAX looks like the first 3 letters...

It would be super difficult to search for containers with a country/leg of the race label/identification in the order of the race. Or maybe they have to have their partner relay the info to an operator who will find/load the containers for them? The single row stack looks like a "display board" of some kind.
