TAR 19 EP 9 "It's Speedo Time (Brussels, Belgium)"
Dom:
I think CBS made a mistake in not specifying this task as a Detour on-air. Some of the racers were clearly not comfortable with the skimpy outfits, and if the viewers were under the impression that the contestants basically had no choice but to go through with the task, it could put the show in a bad light. But if everyone knew that teams had been offered another option, it would seem less like they were 'forced' into it.
In fact, I'm surprised that everyone chose this side of the Detour. Do we have any idea what the other was?

Brussel sprouts?
Bristles from Brussels?
Missles in Brussels?
Bustles in Brussels?
Tussles in Brussels?
Minuses and Pluses in Brussels?
Crushes in Brussels?
Busses in Brussels?
Fusses in Brussels?
Dr. Suess's in Brussels?
Your guessels about Brussels are as good as mine. :duno:

Belle Book:
Wonder what the other option for the Detour was? Must have been bad if everyone chose to do the Speedo option.

I really like either Brussels sprouts or Mussels in Brussels as the DETOUR. However, the most famous food in all of Belgium and particularly Brussels is in fact pommes frites (AKA French fries or Freedom fries) with the most delicious mayonnaise on top you could ever imagine. So those 3 are all too positive to have been chosen. However, a treasured but not as favorite food in Brussels is eels in green sauce. It's unbelievably delicious, but teams might have had some qualms about an eating challenge because World Race Productions has been known to pile the quantities on to ridiculous levels in food challenges.
Maybe after at least one of the current top 5 teams is eliminated we will get the answer to this mystery question!
