TAR 20 EP 8 "Let Them Drink Their Haterade" (Lake Manyara, Tanzania)
Prophet:
I don't think that the speed bump will be with one of the detour options. That would force them to choose that detour which WRP has never done.
Glamazon Racer:
Is there any possibility of an HoO or a bunch-up point at the beginning of the leg? :duno:

Just a quick comment in all of the speculation. Tasks are not changed at the last moment to favor teams; the elimination points are not changed, i.e., a non-elimination leg remains a non-elimination leg. I don't know if it is still being done, but in the early seasons, it was mentioned that production actually prepared a sworn affidavit, prior to the start of filming,of the tasks that would be used and at what point so as to avoid claims that tasks were changed on the spot to favor any team.
The affidavit, as I understood what was mentioned at the time, also included the backup tasks or legs in case of problems at any point in the race. There's absolutely no way a last minute change in location or tasks can be made without some advance preparation (local production crew and extras) so it can be executed and keep filming on track.
It irritates me to no end when there's a suggestion such as changing a task or an elimination point to favor keeping a particular team in the race. Among other things, since TAR is legally considered under US law to be a game show, it is required to comply with federal law that prohibits manipulation of the game elements to favor or not favor particular teams.

So I'm being really observant with this upcoming episode, but I've noticed another detail. In the second video peach posted, promo 1, I can tell that Dave and Rachel didn't U-turn anyone. At :19, they are standing at the W-turn, facing the camera and are about to say "we choose not to U-turn". Rachel shakes her head as they're about to say it. It's super quick, but I thought it was important to note. Tell me if you think otherwise.
