--- Quote from: theschnauzers on December 08, 2020, 12:08:00 AM ---Keep in mind that many tasks aren’t shown, including active route markers. The earliest known example is the cooking and eating an ostrich egg just before the pit stop in leg 1 of season one. There was no confirmation of that one until the DVD’s of the first season was released and it was included as bonus content.

I believe for that circumstance, unaired tasks like that and the Fast
Forwards should be in the total count since it was a task when teams were filmed racing. But recorded or starred on a sidenote that it was unaired. (Example: TAR12's Lithuania Fast Forward should be counted although we aren't certain of the contents, but should be noted that it didn't make the final cut for the broadcast.) The ostrich egg task is one of the components I'm taking into consideration for the thesis so it would be helpful to note which tasks aren't aired and which ones made it onto CBS.

Seasone one, for the leg in Rome, had an unclaimed fast forward that was in Vatican City. Racers discussed it after the end of the season, but I don’t recall there ever being any official confirmation. That’s the sort of issue that is going to arise in that the only likely sources are post-season comments from Racers, and once in a rare while, from Phil, Bertram, or Elise. It was discovered many seasons ago that it’s nearly impossible to compile a complete list.

Ok thank you guys for the feedback, both S1 tasks unaired tasks you guys mentioned are included, and I will go back and mention if any tasks were unaired.

In this case, I believe the best option is to acknowledge the racers' judgment and include that as a tally for a task, but continue the denotations of it being unaired. (e.g. TAR12's Lithuania FF being only revealed because of Shana & Jennifer's post-season interview) We certainly won't know all the tasks they've put out on the course since season 1, but it would be great to see what there is compiled season-by-season.
G.B.:

That Fast Forward was NOT in the Vatican City, it was to find a 'keyhole' where if you look through it you can SEE the whole Vatican City.
This was confirmed by Brennan on one of those old forums that isn't around anymore. In fact, Brennan confirmed all of S1's Fast Forwards except for the last two (Krabi/Beijing), though I think somebody else confirmed Krabi's? Not sure.
