Manila penultimate Leg?!
 

Would you rather a Hong Kong or China penultimate leg?

Yes. Because I'm one of the annoying people who keep harping on about how the Philippines (and South Korea) need to be visited on a westward route (early Legs). To have more than five or more teams racing in those countries for a change. No more than 4 teams have ever raced in the same Leg in either the Philippines or South Korea over the four visits TARUS has had. And now five visits including TAR32.

At least China has dozens other even big cities they could visit. And China's been visited at various spots in the Race before.

[I ♥ TAR]

I would love to see Philippines or South Korea at the beggining of the race for once too. And South America at the last legs like in TAR26 (I am refusing to count 1 Brazil leg in TAR18, lol). I never got why they visited SA always at the start of the race...

[I ♥ TAR]

They should tried more routes like this:

Asia --- Europe --- South America (they could include Africe or Australia here too)  (happened in TAR18 and TAR26)

South America --- Australia and Oceania --- Asia --- Europe (happened once in TAR13)

Asia --- Australia and Oceania --- Asia --- (Africa) --- Europe 

First leg in Africa --- .... (happened once in TAR1)

Last leg in Africa

Season without Europe (happened once in TAR2)

Season without circumnavigation of globe (happened once in TAR7)

The producers of TAR don't know that Oceania exists...

[Nyoman_SB1]

I like Philippines, but i wish they visited another city like Davao, Cebu, or other city. They have been to Manila in Season 5 and 25

[BourkieBoy]

But hey, I'm happy that TAR has visited another undervisited country on this route! 

[Parovic]

I love this route

At least we got to see some overdue countries such as Cambodia,Kazakhstan,Paraguay

Manila? Naah   

There are so many places in the Philippines that are better than Manila and those places are more cultural.

[naejae91]

I wish they visit other part of Philippines, but Manila it's fine as it will likely bring up the chaotic factor in the penultimate leg. And then Israel 8 filmed the premiere leg very recently so idk is there a chance they bumped together.

You Have a Point  .

That's also true. The four Philippine Legs so far on TARUS haven't really had much of a cultural/historical factor to them that other countries have had. Hopefully they can at least do some of that here. The last three and a half Philippine Legs (the first Leg in TAR5 spent half the Leg in Auckland of course) have been almost typical tropical, rural (broken oxen) or urban legs.

They should've visit Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo (This is where I live.), Davao, or have them to Palawan and this time in Puerto Princesa.

[TARUSAFan]

I actually like this route, my only comment is Paris, France. Should have been a different European country that is not overused.

Normandy Region, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Versailles, or Lille were my options.

[dryedmangoez]

It looks like similar cost for plane tickets/logistics if they had done USA>Trindad & Tobago>Brazil>Paraguay>Philippines>Cambodia>India>Kazakhstan>Germany>France>USA instead.

  When will they ever visit this region again?!?!?!

Sure would have made getting to the Finale easier!! 

[dryedmangoez]

^^^ That is very true as well! 

[Jjw26]

Oh no... is this going to be an all M/M final leg like TARCAN3?

[TARUSAFan]

Will & James have an advantage as they've been to Philippines before. I have seen their blog about the Philippines.

[TARUSAFan]

Sad that the Indian or South Asian M/F are gone. There goes the 2 out of the Final 3 I've dreamed of.

Black-Shirts F/F
Indian M/F
Beards

[TARUSAFan]

Will & James are very surprising. I expected them to be an early boot. I get Joey (of Joey & Meghan) vibes from them

[Jjw26]

James & Will are pretty athletic and very well traveled. And James is on Justin from The Green levels of superfan status.

[fossil-racer]

DeAngelo/Gary and Beards surprised me. I thought they would be early boots (predicted 10th and 8th respectively)
