TAR 24 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
claude_24hrs:
Jobby, TAR Israel 2 and TAR Ukraine 2 also visited Sri Lanka. Both produced by a same production company as TAR Asia and TAR AU.
Sri Lanka legs in HaMerotz LaMillion 2 (Israel):
--- Quote ---Leg 10 (Thailand → Sri Lanka)
Colombo (Susu Darame Temple)
At Susu Darame Temple teams had to find a needle in a haystack. They had to use the needle to sew holy Buddhist emblems on white robes. Then they had to wear the robes, take a taxi to a monastery, and receive a blessing from a monk to receive the next clue.
Colombo (Sri Lanka Masks Festival)
Same as Ambalangoda, but includes a live cobra in basket
Colombo (Groceries Corner) (Overnight Rest)
Colombo (Kollupitiya Market or Laundry depot) >Detour (Spices Porters or Laundrymen)<
For the Detour, teams had to choose between Spice Porters and Laundrymen. In Spice Porters, teams had to arrive to a market and pack 25 kilograms (55 lb) of chili peppers in sacks and carry them along the market until arriving the mashing stand. Then they had to mash all the peppers to receive the next clue. In Laundrymen, teams had to traditionally wash 50 dirty sheets. Three of the sheets contained words. Only after teams will discovered the words did they receive the next clue. Each Detour choice had only three workstations, first come, first served.
Colombo (Sunil Cowshed)
At Sunil Cowshed teams had to put cow manure into baskets, put the baskets on their heads, and take the baskets to a drying area. Then they had to mix the dung with water and sawdust to make cow-pies. Then they had to stick 100 of the cow-pies to a wall to receive their next clue. (Similar to TAR18's Feed the Fire Detour in India 2).
Bus: Colombo to Viharamahadevi Park
In an unaired task at Viharamahadevi Park, one team member had to correctly draw and paint the flag of Sri Lanka following only verbal clues from their partner.
Colombo (General Post Office) >Roadblock ("Who reads between the rows?")<
For this Leg's Roadblock, one team member had to search for a letter for the team among 7,000 letters. After finding it, the team received the next clue and a special item that was sent from home. (This is not unlikely just like it did on the Leg 4 Roadblock in TAR:All-Stars).
Colombo (Independence Memorial Hall) >Pit Stop (Leg 10)<
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---Leg 11 (Sri Lanka)
Colombo (Coconut Plantation) >Detour (Male or Female)<
For the Detour, teams chose between Male and Female. In both tasks team members could only use their right hand. In Male, teams had to load a buffalo-drawn cart with coconuts and guide it along a marked path. One team member led the buffalo while the other made sure no coconuts fell out of the cart. When they delivered all of the coconuts they received the next clue. In Female, teams had to milk a female buffalo. They had to completely fill a bucket with milk to receive their next clue.
Colombo (Gangaramaya Temple)
Different task, unlike TARA4 and TARAu1. At Gangaramaya Temple, one team member had to walk over hot coals with their bare feet and then perform a traditional dance for some judges. After that, the other team member had to lie on a bed of nails for three minutes.
Colombo (Galle Face Green) >Pit Stop (Leg 11)<
--- End quote ---
Sri Lanka legs in Velyki Perehony 1 (Ukraine):
--- Quote ---Leg 2 (United Arab Emirates → Sri Lanka)
Colombo (Gangaramaya Temple)
Different task; At the Gangaramaya Temple, teams needed to find a needle in haystack. After finding it, teams needed to use it to sew an emblem onto traditional Buddhist clothes.
>Detour (Hostro or Brudno)< Colombo (Kollupitiya Market or Laundry depot)
In this leg's Detour, teams had to choose between Гостро (Hostro – Hot) and Брудно (Brudno – Dirty). Same task above as Israel.
Colombo (Donegal House)
Same task above as Israel.
>Roadblock (Who’s the most attentive?)< Colombo (Sri Lanka Masks Festival)
Same task above.
Colombo (Sima Malaka Meditation Centre) >Pit Stop (Leg 2)<
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---Leg 3 (Sri Lanka)
Colombo (Mahazime Chicken shop)
At the Mahazime Chicken Shop, teams had to pick up two chickens in cages and carry them for the rest of the leg.
Railway: Colombo (Fort Railway Station) to Kalutara (Kalutara South Railway Station)
>Roadblock ("Any of you have commercial talent?")< Kalutara (Main Street)
In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to prepare and sell 20 coconuts. They had to make at least 500 Sri Lankan rupees in order to receive their next clue.
>Detour (Voda or Korzhiky)< Bandaragama, Kalutara (Wevita Lake)
In this leg's Detour, teams had to choose between Вода (Voda – Water) or Коржіки (Korzhiky – Cakes). In Voda, teams had to wash the traditional markings off an elephant. There were only five elephants available, first come, first served. Only the Cakes task is same as above.
Panadura (Gangula Devalaya)
At Gangula Devalaya, one team member had to perform one of two tasks. They would either run across a bed of hot coals in their bare feet, or lie on a bed of nails for three minutes. After they completed one task, they would then find out that the other team member would have to perform the remaining task. This task was incorrectly presented as a Roadblock.
Colombo (Mount Lavinia Hotel) >Pit Stop (Leg 3)<
--- End quote ---
The additional task in Galle in TAR Au 1 is a recycled task of the second Sri Lanka leg in TAR Asia which was actually a Roadblock, the combinations are different: ("What year when Ceylon became a republic and changed its name to Sri Lanka?"), and the answer of the combination is: 1972.
I assume Independence Square might be used as a Pit Stop.
Jobby:
Let's just say with the similarity of everything.. we MIGHT just see a few repeated tasks this leg. If there are ferns out there in Sri Lanka, check out these places!

In TARAS, Leg 10 in Hong Kong was a NEL where Eric & Danielle came in last. Then the following leg in Macau was also a NEL where Oswald & Danny came in last.

--- Quote from: KamFord on November 23, 2013, 03:03:31 PM ---if brenchel is gone the next leg the ratings are gonna drop faster than a meteor. You can already expect them to drop after YouTube's boot but if they are eliminated after YouTube or even in 2 legs the ratings are gonna plumit. Like who else has a big fan base?

Have to agree with you there. No matter if you personally love or hate those teams, some of their fans/followers will check the Race out (again) if they promote it on Twitter/Facebook ... I seriously doubt, that many of them will continue to watch if/when they are gone. And I really think the Race needs good ratings, not to be put on the endangered species list again ...
Maybe I'm just seeing things to bleak ... who knows

What, when was it?
Air:
TAR4 but it got an Emmy and then CBS suddenly adored it.
