I live in Abu Dhabi and summer officially started a few days ago. It feels like over 40 degrees every day!! I doubt they will come to the Gulf region this time of year. Don't think Production would want teams collapsing from heat exhaustion
Well they did go to Abu Dhabi in 23 which filmed their legs in mid-to-late June 2013, so I think it's possible.

Also i read in the news that India, Thailand, and Vietnam also experiencing heat wave since April where the temp went as high as 45 degrees, i dont know the temp now, but its probably still high there. So yeah probably still possible

Not sure how to feel about a route that looks like:

Legs 1 and 2: Thailand
Legs 3 and 4: Vietnam
Legs 5 and 6: India

Especially since it's looking like legs 5 and 6 were only in Jaipur. If 1 and 2 were only in Bangkok and 3 and 4 were only in Can Tho that might be a little disappointing to be halfway through the season and only get 3 different countries let alone 3 different cities.

I'm still grateful we even have the race in the first place, but even seasons 34 and 35 had visited more countries by this point.

Grateful that we have the Race and its back to "normal" filming but the route looks boring. The usual countries in Asia are visited.
Not fond of the x2 visits on the same country back to back to back, even more so on the same city. When you compare it to the recently concluded filming of Hamerotz LaMillion (a superior route).
Not impressed so far with how we are. They could have gone South Korea - Laos - Nepal (x2) - Kyrgyzstan - Oman for the 1st half.

Fingers crossed the next destination is France and the final leg is L.A.

I'm excited for the route as is, but at this point, if people are going to be this negative about it, production should go the full distance and try to tank it in those peoples' eyes.

TAR (US) hasn't filmed in Asia in five years, but all of these destinations are too boring.  Womp womp.

I'm very happy to see TARUS back in Asia for the first time in 5 years. Especially Vietnam and India which I believe to both be top tier countries in this franchise. So many iconic moments and tasks have happened in those countries.

But at the same time I don't think it's too unreasonable that some people are a bit disappointed at everything being double leg countries so far. Spending half the season in 3 countries gets TAR24 a lot of negative feedback so I can understand if the same happens here. I understand circumstances are different, the budget may not be as big, and COVID is still out there. So for those reasons I am happy they're even in Asia and doing a worldwide non-charter season to begin with. I just hope the backhalf of the season isn't filled with only double leg countries too.

Well Tar USA has 37 to film  in 2 months but hamerotz doesn't. Truth is tar Israel got a bigger budget than USA imo . And USA got the same budget, but for two races In my opinion

It is a little sad that we are 6 legs in and have only been to 3 countries. I just hope the tasks/overall leg design are decent and the boot order is good (praying that the 3 FF teams are still in!)

So after the second leg in India we are probably looking at 8 teams remaining, which sets up every leg from now on to be an elimination leg:

Leg 1 in Bangkok: 13th place eliminated
Leg 2 in Bangkok: 12th place eliminated
Leg 3 in Can Tho: KOR leg with no elimination
Leg 4 in Vietnam: 11th place eliminated
Leg 5 in Amer: 10th place eliminated
Leg 6 in Jaipur: 9th place eliminated

Hopefully 37 hits some southern hemisphere locations, it’ll be spring by then.

I wonder what the chances are that this season could be more than 12 legs?

If we have 13 teams and every leg is an elimination, that would be an 11 leg race.
But we know leg 3 is a KOR, and assumed NEL. So that already bumps up the race to 12 legs.

To me though it seems very random to ONLY have the one non elimination leg - and randomly placed in leg 3 at that. Perhaps we could be back to 2 or 3 non eliminations?

We could be looking at a 13 or 14 leg race.

Fingers crossed for that! I guess if they go to Africa we will see Morocco or Tanzania again. And Europe France. If they go to countries they visit before, just try to go other cities.

The whining here is crazy!

How many of you have been to Bangkok? Jaipur? Not to mention VietNam?

I'll guess not many...yet you are whining about "boring". How can you possibly know with the small windows we have?

I have been to the first two...and there is NOTHING boring there. Both are fascinating.

How about a little excitement about new sites and hopefully great tasks? Some happiness? Or an informed discussion about what you would have liked to see?

I feel sorry for you all...if you ever get to extensively travel to some of these exotic places I can just hear the whining now..

I can say I've never been to most places TAR has been. I googled Jaipur and it looks gorgeous, from the palaces to the forts.  I can't wait until TAR airs and we can see all the places they've been so far and will go to this season. Always a fan!

I think most of us, at least me, are more annoyed about the double legs. Halfway through the race and only 3 countries visited so far (and all of them are basically in the same city for the two legs). I think Thailand, Vietnam and India are great ways to start the race (especially after not having any Asia legs since 32), I just wish we could've gone to more countries to see more of the beautiful world we live in. I think the race is more fun when we can go to as many unique countries as possible. Love the destinations, just wish more destinations were involved.
