TAR15 EP1506 " Do It for the Hood! Do It for the Suburbs" (Dubai)
theschnauzers:
apskip, I appreciate your efforts, but I know TAR 1 didn't go to Russia, it went to Italy. :lol:
What I was getting at was that until the changes in/after TAR 12 that reduced the number of NELs, those usually occured in the first leg of two consecutive legs in a country. I keep notes too, but I hadn't correlated my notes of team leg placements by country.
What I was trying to do was speculate on a possible twist in Dubai that would catch the Racers and the viewer by surprise and still have us down to six teams after Dubai consistent with the spoiler information. I don't have anything to point to other than instinct, but I think it's worth throwing that idea out there.

Well Thailand an elim leg --> NEL in Season 2, while Switzerland TAR 3 had BOTH legs as NELsl And as for the twist: unless it's a double elimination at one mat, please no. :funny:

I now have the comprehensive story of all such situations and there is at least one in every Amazing Race from AR1 to AR15:
AR1 - ep. 2 and 3 France; ep. 4 and 5 Russia; ep. 8 and 9 Thailand
AR2 - ep. 1 and 2 Brazil
AR3 - ep. 1 and 2 Mexico
AR4 - ep. 1 and 3 Italy; ep. 6 and 7 India
AR5 - ep. 2 and 3 Argentina
AR6 - ep. 10 and 11 China
AR7 - ep. 3 and 4 Argentina; ep. 6 and 7 Botswana
AR8 - ep. 7 and 8 Arizona (note that most episodes are U.S. but that is too easy so I went for back-to-back in one state)
Ar9 - ep. 1 and 2 Brazil; ep. 4 and 5 Sicily
plus copying from above:
AR10, ep. 3 and 4 in Vietnam
AR11 ep. 2 and 3 in Chile
AR12 ep. 3 and 4 in Burkina Faso
AR13 ep. 1 and 1 in Brazil
AR14 ep. 4 and 5 in Siberia (Russia)
AR15 ep. 2 and 3 in Vietnam

apskip, I think you meant Tunisia, not Russia for Season 1. :funny: Plus, you forgot the two Morocco legs in TAR 3 & wasn't the first China leg in TAR 6 an NEL that saved Adam/Rebecca?
Question: If teams are racing on a track, doing a desert task, visiting the Burj Dubai and doing winter tasks in Dubai 1, what ELSE can they be possibly doing for Dubai 2? More desert tasks? An eating challenge? Tasks outside of Dubai (probably in Sharjah)? :duno:
DavidJunior:
a good twist might be to have a TBC leg
but at the midpoint a team still gets eliminated
something like: "you're the first team to arrive, however, this leg is not over, and you're still racing..... you're the last team to arrive and unfortunately that means this leg is over for you, and so is this race."
That'd be a cool twist to see, something that everyone thinks is safe, but then still turns out to be an elimination point
puddin:
Maybe we'll see Old Dubai in part 2, its pretty awesome!

Note the number of common letters (4) between Russia and Tunisia. I did mean Tunisia but sometimes it is difficult near midnight to decipher what I had written down earlier. Thanks for the catch, the schnauzers and Raymond. I will alter my table.
Raymond, I understand your comment on the Morocco legs in AR3. However, I do not look at the leg starting Cabo de Roca Portugal and continuing with Dieselgate through Spain and across on the ferry to Algeciras and then continuing from Tangier to Fez as a Moroccan leg even though the pit stop was in Morocco.
Raymond, you are correct that leg 10 of AR6 in China was non-elimination, which means there was no applicable back-to-back elimination episodes in the same country in AR6. Oh, well, I guess we can all survive that news.
