See I had a feeling there were no direct flights so I looked it up, and pretty much every flight has a stop in an Arab country, with the most direct route being just one connection through Dubai. Would they have Israelis go to Arab countries, even just for a layover?

Update: it didn’t occur to me that they could possibly connect through Tel Aviv. There’s a direct flight from Mauritius to Tel Aviv, and a flight from Tel Aviv to Kathmandu that connects in Delhi. Maybe they did that, I’m curious if there’s a way to find out.

As far as I read, the only time Israeli passport holders can enter UAE is by transit visa, otherwise I'm not sure if they're allowed entry (unless there are other circumstances, like competing: the last time I remember this was the case was at the judo championships something).
So it could be possible in a way, but I'm curious whether they layover in Dubai or somewhere else (e.g. New Delhi).
Anyway, there'll be an ep today for the first part of the ninth leg!

Show contentAviad and Eden :'( I like Ariel & Karin well enough, but I kinda wish they left this leg instead? lol

With the Wednesday episode...
The blindfold balancing task somehow wasn't that interesting, I suppose as a head to head they couldn't make it that difficult.
The yield strategy doesn't make sense to me, to keep in the race it makes sense to slow up those at the back but often they don't do that. I wonder if the producers encourage them not to so that those at the back aren't left even further behind and it keeps things closer.
Orel's annoyed me from near the start and continues to. Even when not shouting in some argument she lets out some loud silly shriek in a confessional.

Drom what I saw this season, it is rare to see those targeting the back indeed. Sometimes by their voting pattern I kept making my own assumption/inference like "That's like a front vs. back so-called alliance" or "See, that looks like the 'alliance' broke seeing that pattern of vote, but then 'battle of alliances' returned despite its invisibility or is it just me?". Sometimes I also based them from what I infer in their 'voting confessional' or as the Race goes, like Show contentwhat happened between Tia & Fay and Eyal & Sid–while that pattern on yielding Tia & Fay wasn't there at several legs I also made my own inference that 'when the Yield or U-Turn, I forgot, turned to Aviad & Eden, I randomly inferred the front alliance has been broken'
My own inference during the votes might not be amusing in a way, sometimes or mostly confusing (I'm sorry for that), but in terms of votes like this I do like making (random, not really since there's a pattern) inferences, so if I understood it incorrectly, let me know! (Most of it are strategic votes if I inferred so yeah).
