Saved for caps.

[RaceUntilWeDie]

I spy a Fast Forward clue in Adam's hand!

Looks like Kym/Alli may have Detour problems in their elimination leg

[georgiapeach]

And scenes from the finale even!

[claude_24hrs]

And also, the "My Ox is Broken" switchback, plus future legs including tightrope task in Marina Bay Sands inspired in the final legs of TAR Asia 4, TAR Israel 2 and TAR Australia 1. That also includes a stunt task.

We've also shown Philippine legs like riding a pedicab, Amy/Maya nearly crashed the pedicab into a slamming vehicle.

[Alenaveda]

And rapelling at Blue Grotto, Malta.

[Neobie]

I see gostra (climbing the greasy pole) in Malta, the pedicabs as spoiled in Manila, and surfing and cupping (traditional Chinese therapy) in Singapore!

Bethany/Adam's "committing race suicide" looks like a Singaporean taxi (with a Fast Forward in the shot!). And Jim/Misti running in the jungle is definitely Pulau Ubin!

Palau Ubin! Nice for a TAR to finally get out of downtown Singapore! hehe

[Neobie]

Pit Stop in Malta! Fort Manoel on the other side of the harbour.

There's also Tim/Te Jay at another Pit Stop. Sicily?

[Jobby]

Adam and Bethany cheering at 1 of the 2 pit-stops in Philippines, saw the Surfing (Sentosa Wavehouse) Detour in Singapore.

#20 resembles Villa Niscemi.

[naejae91]

Screen cap 30: There is a FF in Singapore. Since the camera angle was faced to the right side of the car, which obviously they sit inside the right hand drive car, and Singapore is the only country to have drive left hand side of road and right hand drive car on the second half of the season.

[Neobie]

The gostra takes place at Birgu, across the harbour from Malta. From here you can see St Elmo's bridge, Ricasoli Lighthouse, and the lift at Bighi Hospital.

[claude_24hrs]

Neobie, Caps 45-46 are probably Sitio Maname (see # 27-28).

Cap 23 is in the Philippines where Brooke/Robbie are in the taxi in Manila. Philippine taxis are mostly white, sometimes with a mixture of white/yellow, yellow/pine green and white/blue. Also it has a plain yellow or white taxis stationed in Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.

Hence, taxis are not common in most provinces in the Philippines.

Cap 7 is a Palermo skyline.

In regard on that post above about stunting task (29, 51, 52) is at Southwest Marine in Long Beach, California.

I do think it was probably Singapore but Malta also drives on the left

How would I forget Malta are drives on the left. 
But I do think the FF still in Singapore as I observed the background scene is very distinct with the Europe and Morocco leg.

Btw, I love your profile picture with the Colin "My Ox is Broken". So I can't wait to see the switchback as the broken ox will claim a bunch of victim after Colin. 

[Neobie]

Who is this? Is this Alli or Amy?

I'm going to confirm #47 as the boat ride to Pulau Ubin. We know they took the ferry ride at sunrise (their flight landed at 6:09am, sunrise was at 7:07am), and in the background you can even see a plane approaching Changi Airport!

That's Amy, Neobie. Look at the facial comparisons in caps 19 and 32; and they have the same face.

Thank you for that by the way i did think It probably was Singapore though also does anyone know weather the " My ox is broken " switchback is on leg 10 or 11 because leg 10 I believe is Nel and so if it's on 10 no one would be eliminated which I think would just be stupid

It's definitely a Singapore cab. The sticker on the cab window gave it away. We paste those sort of stuff (credit card deals, fare meters pricing) on the window.

Hopefully it will be Jim.

[Neobie]

The rock formations and fence in 8-10 look like those on Monte Pellegrino in Palermo, but I can't find the exact bend. Perhaps another hill around Palermo?

[Slowhatch]

The supervisor in #29 is from Brand X Stunts fwiw.

[naejae91]

Judging Adam & Bethany cheering at the pit stop in Malta (Leg 8, see cap #44), I guess Adam & Bethany might get win on Leg 8 by using the Express Pass to skip one of the task in Malta.

[Slowhatch]

I think you're right about Monte Pellegrino. #7, looking down at the "ippodromo," is from a Pellegrino viewpoint.

[stekay]

#48 probably Sicily since it looks like roof painting which connects with Michelangelo

[Slowhatch]

It ties in with the cherub (#59 here). If they're doing a Michelangelo thing then it must be the Charlton Heston version  (trivia: he painted the ceiling while standing up).

30 IS Singapore. I recognize the taxi sign. Can I borrow the photo and show some friends? They may recognize it. 

[georgiapeach]

Thank you all, amazing job! Now somebody find that darn cherub please, I am tired of looking!

AND WTG NEOBIE!! 2000 posts of awesomeness!!!

[BritishTARFan]

I'm sorry that this is the complete wrong place to post but does anyone know when season 26 starts so I can be there for the action since this is my first season going along with the spoilers 

[georgiapeach]

Watch the 26 thread when it opens.

[dryedmangoez]

Since activeTV did both TARPH and the Philippine Legs of TAR25, here's a likely preview of what the TAR25 Ox is Broken task might look like, though not the same location:

The cupping challenge is it in Singapore or The Philippines ( I assume asia because it was an unaired detour in Guangzhou In S24 ) and is it Amy that's in pain

[Bookworm]

I'm pretty sure its in Singapore, but they did visit Binondo on Leg 11 (I think it was Leg 11).

[RachelLeVega]

In screen cap 35, there is a sign behind Alli that says, "Erst boarden, Dann surfen". Perhaps they are in Amsterdam waiting for a transfer flight into Sicily.

[BritishTARFan]

32 I think is Malta because the car is being driven on the left ( Malta or Singapore ) and Singapore was a daytime leg and it looks like the car is driving fast which is what they like to do in many European countries ( I've had many bad experiences in Spain & Italy )

Also cap 41 I think is also Malta because of the little red skirts but there is a chance that could be in Sicily

[Slowhatch]

I'd go with Sicily...See the video of the tarantella here.

[Neobie]

Speculation: The first two teams to arrive, waiting for the bus/ferry to Malta in Catania/Agrigento/Pozzallo?

or a HOO the night before...

[Slowhatch]

Thanks to the preview we can put the "Partenza" in the same Pellegrino area Neobie found (viewpoint--even the construction crane is still there).

[Neobie]

And the stupid bend is just down the road here!

I know where I went wrong - I thought they were going downhill assisted by gravity, and never bothered to look the opposite direction!

[ZBC Company]

any of tasks in italy and malta have realte cultrue

[gamerfan09]

I'm pretty sure its in Singapore, but they did visit Binondo on Leg 11 (I think it was Leg 11).

I highly doubt it would be in the Philippines because I've never seen something like that in Binondo, and I'm there a LOT

Cool. I just didn't know because they visited Singapore Chinatown and Binondo. Thanks for clarifying!

The building at pic 17 is probably Malate Bayview Mansion in Manila where Amy crashed a pedicab. But I haven't figured out on which building in pic 16 (special thanks to Eragon).

The building on #16 is

New Millennium Evangelical Church.

#17 is Malvar St. corner Pilar Hidalgo Lim St. and the building on the background is Victoria de Manila.
