TAR 17 Ep 7 " I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong!" (Russia)
Prama:
"In a final showdown to avoid elimination.."
Does it means that the previous leg (leg 6) was the Non-Elimination Leg? So in leg 7 we will have elimination round with 6 teams left. Gosh, i guess we'll have another linear leg.. russia to russia.. i hope not :(
Well, i'm just guessing :duno: ;)
theschnauzers:
In recent seasons, when there has been two legs in the same city (and not just the same country), there seems to be an NEL associated with one of the two legs.
The way I'm reading the episode descriptions for both St. Petersburg legs, I'm guessing the first leg may be an NEL.
DrRox:
One of the patterns I have seen on TAR....is they use the first 6 episodes to get rid of 5 teams.....then the next 5/6 episodes to get rid of 3 teams......then the finale. They move the NELs around.......but seems to work out pretty close.
Sort of like chess...........the opening, the middle game, the ending.
If anything, I would think Russia I is elimination and Russia II is NEL.

wonder if this could be "Gorodki" or "Bunnock", both variations of the Swedish lawn game called Kubb.
