TAR 17 Speculation
DrRox:
First Phill said this just before the start of the race in general terms about the new twist.

Ok snooper scoopers, scoop this one out for me. I would love to know.

Then at the mat, when he gave the pass to Jill/Thomas, Phill said this.

Phil was much more specific at the mat.
maf:
My memory of the first leg matches what DrRox stated above.
My take is that they can use it any time during the first 8 legs. That is they can use it just before starting a task or during the task. Where the latter part makes it much more useful. The fact that you can start a task and when you realize how time-consuming or hard it is you can decide to skip this one.
The game-changing aspect is that it is a way to get people to really try to win the first leg. Previously most teams seem to focus on just surviving the first leg. This is a way to get a bit more edge into the start of the race.
2old4tech:
Just speculating. If Stonehenge is part of Bert's TAR 17 theme, look for this either tonight or next week.
Caelestor:
Larabanga is 8 hours from Accra, though.

I thought we already knew the race was going to Sweden.
. . . Oh! Wait! This means they at least survive to that! Man, I was slow on the uptake there.
