Let's find and comment on all the TAR 1 connections!!
 
First: Rob and Brennan at the start!

What should The Amazing Race fans look forward to this season?
 
The same thing that keeps people coming back, season after season: Great teams and great new destinations. That seems to be a winning formula! It’s always fresh. You never see the same things on The Amazing Race. However, we are visiting some of our iconic locations from season one — you’ll see those appear as stars throughout this season. They’re peppered throughout the season. I know some of the original Amazing Race fans will get a kick out of that.

We’re going back to Victoria Falls, for instance, we’re going back to the Taj Mahal, and we’re going back to the Arc de Triomphe. Those are three pretty iconic spots, and they were all in season one.
 
How did the idea to revisit season one locations come about?
 
We just started thinking, “Why don’t we go back to this country? Why don’t we do this, why don’t we do that?” Some places are just so iconic and such wonders of the world, some of the most famous buildings in the world, something that’s so special that it’s okay after 15 years to go back and take another look.
 
What was the experience like for you, revisiting these locations after all these seasons away?
 
I have actually been back to some of those locations since season one with my other adventures and with other travels. For some reason, I seem to keep ending up at the Arc de Triomphe. I shot a rollerblading piece at the Arc de Triomphe in, gosh, must have been 2004. I’ve been back there for the Tour de France three or four times. I shot a documentary retracing the 1928 Tour de France and I shot around the Arc de Triomphe. So that particular structure, I almost feel like I live there. [Laughs] It was great to go back and remember it from an Amazing Race perspective.

Seeing the episode confirms that sites and tasks from legs 1 and 2 of season 2 (b0th in Rio) were revisited and reused.

[elthemagnifico]

the very first task ever on TAR ( swung over batoka gorge) was a switchback in this season...

although it held in other country (Zimbabwe) and turned out as RB instead detour

Arc de Triumphe! (from Episode 2 of TAR1)

[Genius]

I am somewhat disappointed that they did not have a switchback at the Eiffel Tower, where they could have shown us a clip of Karyn screaming "LENNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY".

I think we need a summary of all we have seen...suppose this is a finale task? Has Phil pointed all of them out to the racers? I know in some of the mat chats he has...but if he is doing them all then it is a possibility.

Not likely because it hasn't been stated in any clue and is not like Hello/Goodbye where Phil pointed out what the greeter was saying.
