TAR 32: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!
theschnauzers:
Phil did say something in the cast reveal video that piqued my interest along the lines that the tasks this season will be much more indigenous this season than they have been. As this was part of going back to the basics. And for a season cast two years ago, it is remarkably diverse, even for TAR.
ovalorange:
Agreed, is this the first time we've had half the cast be non-white?

Now that I look back on the timeline, I don't see any locations after Leg 3 that could thematically align with a prominent "indigenous" route. ??? When I think indigenous, I think really primitive, native, and lacking of complex machine technology like Easter Island or the Australian Outback. It appears to be all urbanscape and cities after that. Could they have traveled to a more niche region close to some of those plane arrival cities?
I feel like Phil has overexaggerated how return to basics this season truly is in terms of locations, tasks, and cast, because I really don't see it in the brains vs. brawns-type cast he was talking about and T&T promo from yesterday. Especially with the editing that they seemed to have stuck with the "Tough As Nails" feel and look.

Kazakhstan certain offers a more local than globalized perspective. There's potential in Hyderabad and visiting Angkor Wat certainly seems to me as aligning with a traditional/indigenous theme. While Almaty and Hyderabad are modern, developed cities, they aren't on the same international scale as Paris, Berlin, or Manila. Indigenous doesn't have to imply isolation imo.

I feel like he definitely meant another word like "rooted" since this seems like more of the case. His way of phrasing it on the preview is strange. I'm still confused on the back-to-basics concept since everything I've heard through the RFF grapevine is definitely not that. Teams are skewed a bit for a theme, Yield is returning, the tasks leading to the last hyped foot race (Vanessa & Ralph/Elliott & Andrew) is making a Switchback... it's not clicking to me.
