WHAT? So they are recycling France AND The Netherlands from last season?!
I now hope we don't get Germany or Japan.
And I'm not expecting any new countries tbh, this really looks like a route from the first few seasons.
It seems like all the countries visited this season will be from TAR1-TAR5. Not sure if I should be fascinated or scream into a pillow. :lol:

I'm thinking Delhi or Mumbai could be the next destination. Nonetheless, I am impressed TAR has went this long without traveling to India.

No. It could be one leg. Perhaps, we'll be having a leg in Eastern Europe, probably Finland, the country with no Pit Stop?

TAR has been ticking all the boxes for me on its routes, Brazil-Argentina-Zambia-France (I know France is overused, but we haven't had a leg in Paris for ages). :cheer: :cheer: Until I saw Netherlands which is a let down. We've had Netherlands last season. They could have used it for an underused European country or a new European country. The redeemable part is that it is not in Amsterdam, Finally! :hoot: I'm still happy. This season is just full of surprises :hearts:

Netherlands ruined it. :funny:

That's okay. On the bright side, the rest of the route is good, and we have almost every location spoiled. :) Let's just hope Netherlands is the only one that feels like a no-no.

IIRC, the show used the Netherlands as a leg immediately prior to having teams fly to India. (Remember how Chip/Reichen used a Dutch travel agent to find a flight that was ahead of all of the other teams?)

So it could be that we're now in the TAR 4 rewind portion of the route.

It does  :'( but if the leg is really well designed and quality then it's made up for

I have to agree. Netherlands kind of ruined the momentum for me of this otherwise awesome route, so hopefully the tasks are good enough to merit back-to-back visits.

:lol: The 2 Africa legs covered 3/4 countries (Zambia, Zimbabwe?, Namibia and Botswana). It seems ridiculous yet hilarious to look for.  :funny:

I find 4 african countries amazing  :hearts:
Up to date, the route is great. My only two small complaints would be the two argentinian legs (one would have been perfect, with two in Brazil), and the Netherlands (why not visit Belgium or Luxembourg instead?)

Well considering most seasons now never stay in any continent other than Europe and Asia for more than 1 country, this is an improvement!

At this point:

United States
Brazil
Argentina
Zambia
Zimbabwe
France
The Netherlands

confirmed with Botswana & Namibia possibilities, going on Xarles' information. So between 7-9 countries as of Leg 7. I expect to see India again, perhaps two legs there, possibly a new country (Laos?). What an interesting route thus far.

It is possible the Zimbabwe vehicle wasn't in Zimbabwe. Something to consider.

Wow! The Netherlands for a sixth consecutive visit, really? Western Europe is always overused and have to wait for Eastern Europe.

Zimbabwe is a country I didn't think I'd ever see on TAR so it's 3 seasons in a row we have a completely new country to the franchise.
It's Clobbering Time!

They visited another new country. :cheer: We've had Malta in S.25, Monaco in S.26, now Zimbabwe in S.27. :luvya: I wonder what more new countries will they visit? Two thumbs up for the production.

I kinda thought Zimbabwe would be a blacklisted country (dictator Mugabe, and major economic problems due to a hyper-inflated currency), but I guess it's not as bad as some other forbidden countries as they appear to be just border-jumping.

And Zimbabwe actually does appear to have a bit of a tourism industry.

I learned my lesson after having confused the correct location in Zimbabwe with anothe one in Botswana. During my doubts, I came across these videos which I found out to be very funny, perplexing and interesting, "enjoy", specially now that TAR has been spotted in The Netherlands, watch the part of the complicated Dutch-Belgian border:
