Topic: TAR 27 Speculation and Discussion of **SPOILERS**

[Marionete]

Sorry, if I sounded a bit impolite. I'm just so curious and very excited for next season

Yeah, I get that the location and timing are both VERY logical, but perhaps I missed the sighting in downtown BsAs.
Did the facebook girl/woman reply?

By the way, do you guys assume this is the 2nd or 3rd leg?

Leg 2 but it should be over by now

[claude_24hrs]

Was BsAs on the 24th or 25th? So, Leg 2 is a different country and we have three countries in two legs since TAR 21?

[theschnauzers]

I'm not under the impression that Buenos Aires has been verified or confirmed.

And from what I've seen in the raw info threads I don't think anyone can make that statement yet either.

[Platrium]

I'm speculating that they're heading to Europe soon. They could stay for another South American leg, or go to Australia & Oceania or Africa, but my guess goes to Europe, something like a TAR23 route.

I'm gonna make a wild guess by predicting that the next stop after South America is Greece or Italy.

The premier of BB was live, right? So Phil had to fly back to USA for last night BB episode then fly to the new destination?

Actually, it was pre-recorded and Phil was with Julie in BB house in the USA a couple of days before TAR 27 began racing.

Oh, I always think that the premier of BB when housemates enter the house are live.

[theschnauzers]

The only episodes of US Big Brother that are actually live are the eviction episodes and the finale....but a couple of the evictions end up being recorded towards the end of each season. BB US always starts the sequester in the house up to two weeks in advance of the premiere.

Phil was in New Zealand a couple of weeks ago IIRC related to his role of a spokesperson for New Zealand Tourism, so when he came back to L.A. for the start of season 27, that is when BB had him in sudio to start the BB twists for the seaso

I am sure that this might have been why there was a later start to the race this year, as Phil had to do the BB takeover in the first few days of the houseguests entering. I imagine it was day 2 of entering the house usually a week prior to the first episode airing.

I seriously doubt that the BB Takeover twist has anything to do with the filming schedule for TAR 27. Since TAR filming is only three weeks, more or less, and BB runs into late September, the BB producers could have scheduled Phil for after TAR completed filming.

No, I think whatever the reasons for filming now, it had nothing to do with BB.

Looking at the image in the live thread... it seams the meat roadblock from TAR 7 is back.

Yep!

I'm totally not surprised to see THAT one back as a Switchback, it was just as infamous as the ox plow or the hay bales. That's the challenge where Boston Rob exploited the Roadblock time penalty in a way that had never been done before.

[Marionete]

A bit OT, but when was the ox plow?

[BritishTARFan]

A bit OT, but when was the ox plow?

In the Philippines

Tar 5 & Tar 25

[Keepcopz]

If the spec about meat RB is true (which is <33) , I'm seriously hope for lock RB switchback if they ever revisit Xian again.

[I ♥ TAR]

This is 3rd leg, right??? I hope that it will be NEL, if RB Switchback is true. Poor FF teams...

I bet WRP would make it a NEL. The 1st time there was a Switchback, the hay bales in TAR15, they made it a NEL.

So is Argentina a definite

So is Argentina a definite 

I'd say so, we have photos of a known task from the past, that was IN Argentina.

[fossil-racer]

The clue box and meat picture has been deleted!

[Marionete]

Whoopsies!
She deleted the tweet first, then I thought of maybe screenshooting her instragram pic (it was still up), but hesitated :/

Has anyone done that?

[Plaidmoon]

Pictures disappear, especially if the person starts getting messages about it. I hope somebody saved a copy of it.

This is why it's better to include the picture with your message rather than just putting a link. It's a pain and some extra work, but I save pictures to an online storage site like photobucket and then upload them to RFF. They are stored on the RFF server and don't disappear.

BVM posted a couple of pics today from the Pampas. Now whether it is Argentina, Uruguay or Brasil....I have no idea. One is almost identical to the clue box photo that has apparently been deleted.
