TAR 22 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**

I would say that a leg was done in Bora Bora, then they returned to Pepeete (or went to a nearby island) to do the second one, before going to their next destination (probably NZ).
theschnauzers:
This past Race (TAR 21) was a day or so longer than the 21-22 day average IIRC; and one reason why a south Pacific island leg hasn't been done is that those locations have relatively few flights that can be used coming from or to the U.S. and the opposing direction.
When the Race when to Guam some seasons back, IIRC, teams had to go both ways via Tokyo which certainly added a day or so to filming. What TPTB seem to be doing this time is probably the only way to do it, and not lose any more time than necessary.

I agree with what weihen said, but if they are diving, they're definitely diving for SOMETHING. I remember reading in an encyclopedia about the South Pacific and one of their oceanic economic activities being pearl harvesting. So here's my :2cents: on the Bora Bora beach or lagoon cluebox.
CLUE: Roadblock- Dive to collect pearls hidden inside oysters
Why did I spec a RB? Season 6's diving Fast Forward in Corsica was pretty sad. Rebecca did wonderfully getting the FF clue, but Adam was a waste of time trying to go underwater to touch where the clue came from. By being a RB, it would be more efficient than if each 11 teams have to follow along while someone collects.
Why did I spec pearl harvesting? French Polynesia is the home of many pearls and it would be such a disappointment to not feature such lovely jewelry. :luvu:

In the Leg 4 of TAR10, one of the Detour choices was "Under", and it was related to harvesting 30 oyster basket from a pearl farm.

I loved that leg (best one of the season) with all that rowing, but instead of oyster baskets, I was thinking of teams retrieving pearls from faux oyster shells instead hauling up basket strings. Since I don't see any objects sticking out of the water, I highly doubt they will use traps or any other special fishing devices. Just speculating.
