Topic: TAR 33 (2nd try!) Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!

[OMGitsGARRET]

So we know of the three pre-shutdown legs, there were only two eliminations. So at least one of them was a NEL/KOR. The fact that we believe Singing Cops are leg 1 boot and Kiwi Jay confirms he saw 10 teams board the train to Glasgow makes me think leg 2 is a NEL/KOR then? If so, that would be the first leg 2 NEL/KOR in TAR USA history so that'd be fun.

[Parasparopagraho]

The fourth and sixth seasons of the Canadian edition already did that.

[Parasparopagraho]

If Leg 4 does begin with only seven teams, then it must be a NEL/TBC to avoid having too many after the midgame.

[Joberio]

Just to be sure, which two teams didn't return after the shutdown?  Ray & Caro were one, but who was the other?

[Parasparopagraho]

We know that Raquel and Kayla made F3 but what about twin sisters? How far they got? What do you think?

F4. The final leg was a F4 this time.

Evidence?

[OMGitsGARRET]

But it's never happened in TAR USA ever before, so it'd be a first for them.

Touche; funnily enough, the Singing Cops will be following in the footsteps of previous all-male first-boots Antoine/StephaneAnthony/Brandon and Chewy/Happy.

Stephane & Antoine were the second boots.

[Joberio]

Okay.  I'll ask again.

Other than Ray & Caro, which other team did not return after the COVID shutdown?

And for a definitive answer, which seven teams did return?  Obviously, Dusty & Ryan, Raquel & Cayla, and Kim & Penn did, given that they're our alleged F3, and Arun & Natalia and Taylor & Isaiah are just as allegedly the fourth- and fifth-place-finishers (unless I'm mistaken on those).  But who are the last two?

[gamerfan09]

Lulu & Lala returned and even confirmed it to the press on the day of the cast reveal.

[Malcooolm]

This is completely speculation: I think it's Anthony & Spencer because of their documented health issues that occurred in 2020.

[Parasparopagraho]

Heh, it was a given that the survival of the Final Four Twist beyond Season 25 and Blind Date Edition depended upon the presence of a Save that had no basis in reality for over a half-decade.

Back to the boot order: Cops/Greniers/TrainBoys/LoveIslanders are all very much out of the game by the time that the restart occurs.

Thanks for sharing that Race2020FAN! That was fun to watch.

The TAR youtube channel also has a 1 minute sneak peak into the art detour from leg 1.

Which would mean . . .

Kim & Penn
Ryan & Dusty
Raquel & Cayla
Arun & Natalia
Taylor & Isaiah
Lulu & Lala
Akbar & Sheridan

. . . would be the seven who returned.  Is that right?  Am I in the ballpark?

Thanks for that.

Why do we believe that it was a F4 final leg?

Correction: just this person, who has since recanted that miscalculation.

Correction: just this person, who has since recanted that miscalculation.

Which is why we have a TEAM of TAR Detectives who follow and document each step of the race as best we can.

And the results of our work can clearly be found in oval's excellent summaries.

SO there is no need for speculation of FACTS already known.

Lots of room for speculation on the things we didn't see or know at the time though! 

[Xoruz]

So Switchback? It be the second time a task from TAR 14's premiere was repeated.

[Parasparopagraho]

Rather far from either Zurich or Lugano, however.

It's 40 km outside Lugano.

[Parasparopagraho]

Then again, the Season 14 cast had to take trains there instead of driving themselves like their current counterparts.
