Clue boxes!

I miss that Cluebox at the Pitstop showing the country's name. I think they shouldn't remove that... :'( :(

I haven't read any of the spoilers this year. Is this actually true?

Yes, but no one knows where it was. Phil just said there were complications. :duno:

--- Quote ---Sorry if this has already been said, but for the last few legs (at least; maybe all season) at the Pit Stops, they haven't been using that silver sign that stands next to/behind Phil and the greeter with the city/country name and world map on it.

I had noticed that during the first Indonesia leg, and went back and found it had been missing in Taiwan as well.
Mug Costanza, Phil had sent out a Tweet after filming was completed and before the season began to air that there had been a sudden last minute change for some reason that required TPTB to completely change a destination on less than 24 hours' notice. The speculation has been that Thailand was the substitute for the unknown original country, and the timeline reconstruction appears to support that speculation.

The last few seasons they've been deliberately revisiting locations that have had absolute stinkers of legs in the past: TAR15 in Dubai after TAR5; TAR16 in Puerto Varas after Puerto Montt in TAR11, Bariloche after TAR5, Singapore after TAR3, San Francisco after TAR11; TAR17 in St. Petersburg after TAR5, Oman after TAR9 (which won an Emmy, yes, but can hardly be called a "good" leg), Hong Kong after TAR11, Seoul after TAR4; TAR18 in Tokyo after both TAR9 and TAR15, Salzburg after TAR14, Rio after a culture-free TAR2 leg...
Given just how terribly the TAR14 leg turned out - didn't showcase the city well at all, had that awful animal-cruelty-promoting zoo task, AND had a contestant collapse - it's not surprising they wanted to show it in a better light.
