1. Australia - (leg 1)
2. Indonesia - (leg 1)
3. Vietnam - (leg 2)
4. China - (leg 3)
5. South Africa - (leg 4 and 5)
6. Netherlands - (leg 6)
7. Czech Republic (leg 6 and 7)
8. Poland - (leg 8)
9. Israel - (leg 9)
It's been established that this season will visit 12 countries in total, we still have 3 countries left in 3 legs, so unless one or two legs visit two different countries or it's a 13-leg race, next week's episode will probably have the teams in Israel for the first half and another country (likely Sri Lanka) in the second half. What do you guys think will happen?
From one of the promos, I have determined that the 3 missing countries are:
10. Sri Lanka
11. Singapore
12. Germany

They counted Germany on the train ride from Netherlands to Czech Republic, and I've seen the ad and I'm pretty sure Egypt was there, so :duno:

Germany's already been done, thanks to the train change in Berlin.
We've got a 13-leg race. The EPG lists scaling Jerusalem's old city walls as the final challenge of the episode next week. We know from the presskit that there are 3 NELs, each with the penalty. Therefore, the TBC is not included, and is counted as one leg instead of two. Grant calling it "a marathon leg" supports this. Although the ads for last night's episode mentioned there were only four episodes left, which would mean there's just three left now, it's hardly out of the ordinary for TAR to have a two-hour, two-leg finale. I'd bet what happens is this:
18 July: Jerusalem -- NEL.
25 July: Sri Lanka -- NEL.
1 August: Two hour finale. First hour: Singapore -- Elimination. Second hour: Perth -- finale.

That is so dumb, to include Germany in the country count because the teams took a train that passed through the country, that's like if you took a plane and counted every country you passed as a "visited country". And any news on this so-called "Egypt leg"?

They've done that on just about every series of the race that has involved that situation, so its not like it wasn't to be expected.

I mean if they're literally on ground and passed through the country, I think that is valid. Although only including a country which has at least one task available for the teams should be the correct way of counting the total countries visited..

Would the racers need to have their passports processed in Germany? It would be a reason to count it then (not sure how valid though!). Some of the fly to ... involve flying through other countries but not leaving the airport. In these scenarios you wouldn't have to go through immigration, so these definitely shouldn't be counted.
Agreed, there should be a task involved for it to be counted as a country visited.
