The rock formations and fence in 8-10 look like those on Monte Pellegrino in Palermo, but I can't find the exact bend. Perhaps another hill around Palermo?

Judging Adam & Bethany cheering at the pit stop in Malta (Leg 8, see cap #44), I guess Adam & Bethany might get win on Leg 8 by using the Express Pass to skip one of the task in Malta.

I think you're right about Monte Pellegrino. #7, looking down at the "ippodromo," is from a Pellegrino viewpoint.

#48 probably Sicily since it looks like roof painting which connects with Michelangelo

It ties in with the cherub (#59 here). If they're doing a Michelangelo thing then it must be the Charlton Heston version  :) (trivia: he painted the ceiling while standing up).

Screen cap 30: There is a FF in Singapore. Since the camera angle was faced to the right side of the car, which obviously they sit inside the right hand drive car, and Singapore is the only country to have drive left hand side of road and right hand drive car on the second half of the season.

I do think it was probably Singapore but Malta also drives on the left

30 IS Singapore. I recognize the taxi sign. Can I borrow the photo and show some friends? They may recognize it.

I'm sorry that this is the complete wrong place to post but does anyone know when season 26 starts so I can be there for the action since this is my first season going along with the spoilers  :conf:

Since activeTV did both TARPH and the Philippine Legs of TAR25, here's a likely preview of what the TAR25 Ox is Broken task might look like, though not the same location:

I'm pretty sure its in Singapore, but they did visit Binondo on Leg 11 (I think it was Leg 11).

In screen cap 35, there is a sign behind Alli that says, "Erst boarden, Dann surfen". Perhaps they are in Amsterdam waiting for a transfer flight into Sicily.

32 I think is Malta because the car is being driven on the left ( Malta or Singapore ) and Singapore was a daytime leg and it looks like the car is driving fast which is what they like to do in many European countries ( I've had many bad experiences in Spain & Italy )

Also cap 41 I think is also Malta because of the little red skirts but there is a chance that could be in Sicily

Speculation: The first two teams to arrive, waiting for the bus/ferry to Malta in Catania/Agrigento/Pozzallo?

Thanks to the preview we can put the "Partenza" in the same Pellegrino area Neobie found (viewpoint--even the construction crane is still there).

And the stupid bend is just down the road here!

I know where I went wrong - I thought they were going downhill assisted by gravity, and never bothered to look the opposite direction!

I highly doubt it would be in the Philippines because I've never seen something like that in Binondo, and I'm there a LOT :lol:

Cool. I just didn't know because they visited Singapore Chinatown and Binondo. Thanks for clarifying!

The building at pic 17 is probably Malate Bayview Mansion in Manila where Amy crashed a pedicab. But I haven't figured out on which building in pic 16 (special thanks to Eragon).

16

17



The building on #16 is
New Millennium Evangelical Church.

#17 is Malvar St. corner Pilar Hidalgo Lim St. and the building on the background is Victoria de Manila.
