I remember his blogging from the early seasons way back when, and those were always insightful.Lost track of those blogs at some point, but I’m glad to know he’s been at it in the meantime, and that he will be able to share his insights here! Welcome!

The Practical Nomad:
Thanks very much to all for the welcome. I've missed a few episodes and most of a season when I was travelling in places where TAR wasn't being broadcast, or when I was diverted by a family emergency. But I've covered almost every other season and episode.

My focus for  the start has been what real-world travellers can lear from watching TAR, and other travel commentary. Some of my columns are more directly releated to the race, some not so much, some not at all. If you are looking for Soap Opera Digest commentary about the racers, you may want to look elsewhere.

I've interviewed a few cast members, and I had one of the first major spoilers. Many cast members have used my columns to help prepare for the race.

I'm impressed and appeciative of all the spoilers here. I use them to help know where the race will be going, and where I might need to be prepared to write about when it is broadcast. Thanks to all the TAR detectives!

(I have my own way of counting what is an episode. I've been internally consistent about it, but it may not correspond with yours, especially when there are 2-hour episodes.)

Feedback is welcomed, here or in comments on my blog for those who don't read this forum.

Bon voyage!

Edward

I do remember Hasbrouck blogs on the earlier seasons of TAR that I've read before.
