Topic: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!

[OMGitsGARRET]

If my calculation is correct, might we have a double elimination or a final four, because we are seven legs into the last three? I believe we have another European nation nearby that they would like to visit.

Why would we need a double elimination or a final 4?

Leg 1 (Thailand): 13th place
Leg 2 (Thailand): 12th place
Leg 3 (Vietnam): Keep-on-Racing/Non-Elimination
Leg 4 (Vietnam): 11th place
Leg 5 (India): 10th place
Leg 6 (India): 9th place
Leg 7 (Germany): 8th place
Leg 8 (Slovenia): 7th place | Today
------------------------------------------
Leg 9 (Assumed to be Slovenia): 6th place
Leg 10 (Unknown): 5th place
Leg 11 (Unknown): 4th place
Leg 12 (United States): 3rd place, 2nd place, and 1st place

Everything is recapped in the Timeline thread if you need it:

It'd be more cause for alarm if the final leg somehow films during Independence Day or beforehand - speaking of which, here's to the finale destination being the Twin Cities.

How much head notice do you think we can expect to know where they are coming in the U.S. for the final leg? Like are the teams typically sighted getting on transport to whatever city they will end in?

Depends on the season; as with all sightings there's an element of luck in who spots the groups of two and makes the mental connection to The Amazing Race though it tends to be easier on seasons with recognizable people (25, 28 and 31 all had sightings in airports or flights during the final leg).

Coming in from Europe there's a decent number of nonstop flights into the US (in particular LHR, CDG and FRA if they double back), though that may not necessarily indicate where they came from or where they're going. Prior to a few days ago I was thinking was a concerted effort to avoid countries visited in charter flight era TAR but that's out the window now lol.

I believe we should anticipate a finish line, but the question remains: where will it be? Based on this pattern, my prediction is either the eastern or southern coast.

I feels very unclear if there's a 2nd Slovenia leg when it could be. Thailand's 2 legs filmed back-to-back, Vietnam's filmed on the same day(spec) and India's had a day break in between legs.

More like the Pacific Northwest or the Upper Midwest when the weather is in season.

So maybe leg 8 will be more in rural Slovenia and then leg 9 will be in Ljubljana?

Seconded, because Köln/Cologne to Laibach/Ljubljana would've been samey back-to-back urban legs.

I was looking through Instagram stories for both Kranjska Gora and Planica all day and didn't find anything. Probably another leg of no sightings. Guess they must've have driven there since that's over an hour away from the train station.

Also interesting they had a clue box outside of the train station instead of just having the next clue box being at Kranjska Gora or Planica.

I thought the Thailand legs also had a day break (15th and 17th).

Look at the timeline thread

Look at the timeline thread

Was it changed when we found out that Thailand was 2 Bangkok legs (is this confirmed) and not an urban and rural leg each?

Nevermind, I realized Vietnam 1 was started on the 18th I believe.

That looks like a physical challenge that the dads may struggle with..Hope they choose wisely if it's a roadblock. THE GIRLS may struggle too . Sliding on that looks difficult, just like the bottle dancing/balancing took out the mm team in India

[PikaBelleChu]

I have a feeling that Vietnam 2 might be somewhere rural. If there's possible sighting of teams going in either Ninh Binh / Hue / Da Nang, how about those? 

[angelbaby09]

Guys i think morgan and lena are out in leg 8

[Parovic]

So the 2nd Slovenia leg just ended?
That means tomorrow is the rest day
Monday is in another country?

[Joberio]

Guys i think morgan and lena are out in leg 8

Any social media activity, or just some feeling?

Well . . . damn.  They were the last chance for a women's team to reach the F3 this season, as I don't see Robbin & Chelsea pulling that off.

All those potential destinations are too far from the Southern region to reach in time for Jaipur; Occam's Razor, it's just a Ho Chi Minh City revisit with an outside chance of Cai Be.

NOT surprised AT all !!! It looked to be a very physical task, with that ski jump. It looked steep. I don't know how the 3  older dads did it. Mayb it came down to roadblock choice.
Phil didn't lie when he said it would be a Very physical race !!

What ski jump? It was a zip line

Dads are killing it this season

Joel may look like just an out if shape middle aged dad, but his hobbies include distance running and cycling.

I am not sure what the carpentry task in Ljubljana concerned, but it may have involved a Klopotec, a traditional wooden device, similar to a windmill or weathervane, used to scare birds from vineyards. With the task guide looking like a farmer and the wooden boards having multiple pegs, this could be an element of Leg 9.
