ALSO: Since we only saw 7 teams at the start but expect 8 in Leg 2...

The Invader twist MAY be back!

Last seen in Season 2:


In their invasion leg, the intruders must place in the top two to continue racing - if they fail, they may be eliminated from the race. If they succeed, the last team to check-in may be eliminated, and the intruders will keep on racing in future legs.


In this season, , a ping pong ball Olympic player Zhang Ji Ke and his mom will join as the Invaders.

=====================================================================

Filming in Copenhagen is expected to start Monday, Legs 2-3  should be in Denmark.

SEASON 4 PROMO:

(I know 100% the truck is from Atlanta Season 3). As best I can tell, the only NEW footage is the dragon boats from Episode 1.

Nice promo!

I have always liked the Invader twist! Hopefully, one day, it can work it's way into TARUS

Ooo! I like that dragon boat task. Looks like it would be a great Starting Line task.

I don't know about the Invaders. I wasn't a fan in season 2, even though both Invader teams were good and should've been teams from the start. I loved season 3 because of how "normal" it was. But we'll see.

Season 2 was a mess because of the dramatic change of rules from original US version
Season 3 was great as they try to stick more to the leg structure of normal, standard TAR leg

Hope it is also the case for season 4

SEASON 4 PROMO:
(I know 100% the truck is from Atlanta Season 3). As best I can tell, the only NEW footage is the dragon boats from Episode 1.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/uKFkuXsAWag" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/uKFkuXsAWag</a>



So before I work on the racers post, let's address how much confusing this production is and how they announce things officially but then change things completely when they actually happen.

Remember the Route map from a few months ago - included above.
Listed 9 Destinations in the following order:
1 - Hong Kong
2 - Copenhagen, Denmark
3 and 4 - Stockholm, Sweden
5 - Mumbai, India
6 - Singapore
7 - Tel Aviv, Israel
8 - Colombo, Sri Lanka
9 - Ho Chi Min, Vietnam
10 - Shanghai, PRC

That list Seems not to be completely valid anymore, as promo reveal the following cities, which we may assume is the route order. Listing the 9 locations, but not sure if Stockholm will be kept as 2 legs:
1 - Hong Kong

2 - Copenhagen, Denmark

3 - Stockholm, Sweden

4 - Hefei, PRC

5 - Singapore

6 - Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam

7 - Macau

8 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia


9 - Shanghai, PRC



As the season is filmed in small blocks, I speculate, that this is the filming breakdown
Block 1 - Honk Kong - Already Filmed
Block 2 - Copenhagen - Stockholm - Filming This Week
Block 3 - Hefei - Singapore - Vietnam
Block 4 - Macau - Malaysia - Shanghai

And Lives confirm that Intruders are ZhangJiKe and his Dad. Updating post accordingly.

Placing these links here, as I will be using as source:
http://m.sohu.com/n/496609357/
https://www.sohu.com/a/148173150_119562

Articles and promo do seem to imply (emphasis on IMPLY) the teams will collect something at each leg, that ties to the "Raiders of the Lost Arc" theme of the season, which might get into play in the final leg.

The new season will debut in early July.
(With TAR Can also debuting early July, lots of TAR goodness to look forward to).

Will use this post to create the racers list along the day - gotta do some actual IRL work, Will try to update in small bursts during the day.
Full picture from Press Conference, which happened post Leg 1:


We have 7 teams, but 13 Celebrity Racers present, Wang Likun (team 2 - who's racing with Joseph Cheng is missing)


Adding pics from the promo first. Will try doing some better resolution pictures later.

1 ) 范冰冰&谢依霖
Team 1: FanBingBing & Xie Yi Lin (Evonne Hsieh, Taiwanese Actress, from Hualien, Taiwan)
The "Diva Team". Seemed they were paired together without prior relationship. Evonne is almost someone I'd call a Hsie-Shin ( Read my explanation of what's that on the Season 3 thread), which makes the pairing even more unique.


2)郑元畅&王丽坤
Team 2: Joseph Cheng(Taiwanese model, actor and singer) & Wang Likun(Chinese actress, dancer and singer)



2) 贾静雯&修杰楷
Team 3: Alyssa Chia (Taiwanese television hostess and actress) & Xiu Jie Kai(Taiwanese actor)


4) 吴敏霞&张效诚
Team 4: Wu Minxia (Olympic diver) & Zhang Xiaocheng (Wu's Husband)


5)强子&张星月
Team 5: Qiang Zi & Zhang Xingyue (Hosts from Shenzhen TV)


6)SNH48陆婷&许杨玉琢
Team 6: Lu Ting & Xu Yang Yuzhuo (from SNH48, a Chinese idol girl group)


7) 邓滨&王新宇
Team 7: Deng Bin & Wang Xinyu (from Varsity-V, a new boy band)


8 )张继科&徐锡英 
Team 8 (Invading Team): Zhang Ji Ke and his mom Xu Xiying  - Invading Team (joining in the european legs)
If teammate was really changed from Dad (who also serves as his coach) to his mom (just a traditional housewife), might be something interesting.


8 )张继科Zhang Jike+ 张传铭Zhang Chuanming - Father and Son / Coach and Athlete
Team 8 (Invading Team): Zhang Ji ke + Zhang Chuaming - Joining the race on leg 2 in Copehangen.

Todays flight looks fine, but if filming was planned for today that is a late arrival.

Production usually test out tasks one day ahead of actual filming, which they even film for making off segments, that might be reasoning if we have sources pointing to permits for filming lasting 2 days.

The flight might still work.
As, they do like to either do line-up start of leg or even starting at the hotel, so we might have team arriving with this flight anyway, but heading to the hotel, for an early start tomorrow.

ETA. As Allan is in town, without racers, he's likely shooting all the sponsor inserts that they'll be using during the leg.


I do forget that it's Summer in the North Hemisphere, meaning longer daylight.

Someone posted the upcoming filming dates on weibo a few hours ago, not sure how reliable. Is mixture of destinations teased on the map from march, to the destinations on the promo. So I really don't know what to trust anymore.

《极速前进》第四季7月录制行程安排:
7月9日安徽合肥、7月11日以色列特拉维夫、7月13日印度孟买、7月15日斯里兰卡科伦坡。


So this weekend is block 3 of filming no matter what, it does make the work for anyone we might have on the ground harder.

07/09 Hefei, PRC (seems almost confirmed, spotted other posts about Hefei happening this week)
07/11 TelAviv, Israel (?? Is Israel back on the route???)
07/13 Mumbai, India (??2 Is Mumbai back on the route???)
07/15 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

She did not mention anything of Vietnam or Singapore.

Air date believed to be July 14.

https://www.tvmao.com/program/SZTV-SZTV1-w8.html
As of now the programming listing from 深圳卫视 for 07/14 does not list it.

Still getting conflicting reports on when the season will start to air, but all recent news reports claim it will be sometime this month (july).
