TAR15 EP8: "This is the Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done in My Life"
Caelestor:
The switchback is the haybale task. Probably after they do the detour, they say do this roadblock! (which just happens to be an infamous one done a few seasons prior...)
theschnauzers:
From what Bertram said before this season began to air, the Switchback is a repeat of the original roadblock at the original location.
Which is exactly what the promo and press releases have described. There has been nothing to suggest that there is any differences from the original haybale roadblock task in TAR 6. I would think that those teams that were familiar with TAR 6 are going to be freaked out enough just knowing this will be the exact same task, and TPTB won't need to amplify it in any form.
Caelestor:
Have a taste of what's coming up next episode. Gives you chills doesn't it?

This is classic TAR. Phil introduces the roadblock so dramatically, and the music/editing was perfect for that scene. Poor Lena and Kristy :'(

Hmm...maybe "Switchback" will just be a tag for route markers consisting of a past task revisited. Maybe this time is a Roadblock-Switchback and probably, next season there will be one Detour-Switchback or the likes...

You know, I had forgotten there was a Yield with this RB then.
If they are re-creating the task exactly....then do we also have a YIELD??
Lena was amazing....CBS is missing a classic moment if they don't have them back as the Greeters.
