TAR15EP 1&2 "They Thought Godzilla Was Walking Down the Street" (Japan/Vietnam)
theschnauzers:
Entertainment Weekly with the CBS map and teasers for the first two legs from BVM.
--- Quote ---• The action begins at the Los Angeles River, and for the first time in show history, a team will be eliminated mere yards from the starting gate. The challenge involves a fence with thousands of license plates—some of them from Japan (which serves as the first destination). “Twenty four people run up and frantically start grabbing license plates, but they’re wrong because as usual they don’t read their clue,” chuckles van Munster. “Eventually a team gets eliminated—they see the cars drive off and it is bye-bye. We told them 100 times, ‘Read your clue. Repeat after me: Read your clue.’ They don’t read the clue. It’s unbelievable. Nothing has changed.”
• Once they get to Tokyo, Racers find themselves on a Japanese game show, and they have to eat a tear-inducing Wasabi bomb. Notes van Munster: “Even the Japanese are horrified by it, which is good. If the Japanese are horrified by another game show, then we’re on the right track.”
• When contestants arrive in Vietnam, they face down a Roadblock involving 2,000 ducks. “You have to show how good you are in guiding these ducks from one end of a soccer field, across a little bridge to the other end, turning them around and bringing them back into the pen,” explains van Munster. “It turns into total duck madness. It’s just hysterical… I’ve tried for eight years to integrate it into the show, and we never succeeded in getting [contestants] to do it. They know it’s too difficult. So I said, ‘Roadblock!’”

There are a couple more teasers for later legs (Dubai; and the Switchback)
apskip:
the schnauzers, thanks for the CBS map. It's fascinating, clearly identifying the second pit stop as Cai Be and the leg 10 and 11 ones as both Prague. CBS appears to be trying to make up for never having visited Czech Republic before.
Benedicto:
If Eric and Lisa made it past that starting line elim .... they're really truly defying the odds :funny:
Coutzy:
The duck task sounds awfully like a switchback (remember, it was the other side of the famous ox detour)
I still find it hard to believe that CBS and WRP would eliminate a team because they can't speak a foreign language.
My guess is that the task works similar to the scale we saw at the end of TAR 12. Teams are given a criteria that only a certain license plate meets, and they have to find it.
If so, my money's on Zev to finish the task first.

Or Maria/Tiff, if Jerry's right about the task. And as for the ducks, it had potential, but was offered alongside ratings gold. So I'm glad it is reused. :D
