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.

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.

I think he just meant that there are no casting gimmicks. Just because he described some teams as being brainier and others being brawnier doesn’t mean that’s a twist...and how is a Yield not back to basics?!

I'm positive that I've been mishearing what's been said on the preview, or maybe my mind is just too different. :funny:
A Yield definitely isn't basics because it was added on. It's more the nostalgic factor kicking in if I'm being honest.

Maybe Phil meant "cultural" tasks when he says indigenous?

Yeah. I feel like "traditional" would have been a better word choice.
dryedmangoez:
Yeah, in the Manila Leg one of the tasks is a traditional Filipino folk dance I believe. Would be fun if cultural/traditional local tasks are the Final Task, if there is one.
