Well with the exception of Morocco, every place so far has been an Island.  What about that?

Leg 1:  Blackbeard
Leg 2: Pearly Man/Woman
Leg 3: Puffin
Leg 4: Swedish students
Leg 5: ???
Leg 6: possibly the man in the horse carriages who gave teams their clue after the hay task
Leg 7: The racing legend after the RB (?) or tarantella dancers
Leg 8: The knights
Leg 9: Guy with ONWARD SINGAPORE board
edited legs 1, 4, 6, and 7 with possibilities

Some teams don't know about Swedish students because they did not do the geography extra task

I refuse to see Singapore as an island, even though it pretty much is. Better to term it city or country.

Just thinking about this as I am fixing dinner.  What about the memory task being Phil sightings but not"Phil" but the background being the task.  Not every one will see Phil but they will have seen the background.  Any thoughts or should I just go back to making dinenr?

Leg 5 could be the giver after the RB. The one from the argue between Shelley & Nici and Keith & Whitney.
This could be true. Remember both team members must be present to receive the next clue?

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 do miss the old difficult memory tasks (surfboard task in Hawaii, the "get everything on the platform" challenge in Alaska)

That's actually a possible idea! Airport codes MIGHT be a bit confusing, so we'll see...

Thanks!  :waves: 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.

Airport codes would be pretty tough for most people to remember!

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)!

They did. I remember them consulting the notes at the greeters challenge.

I did too, that's why I said that I thought Nat & Kat took notes as well as Tammy & Victor.

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.
