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

We getting a night leg? Has there been one yet this season?

Vietnam 2 is probably a night leg, or at least late evening into night (although without sightings, it's impossible to confirm that)

[ghmorello]

For the U.S. Cities that would let the show use their Major League Baseball Stadiums due to their team being on the road:

Dallas-Fort Worth
Atlanta
Philadelphia (unlikely since Philly was used for S35)
Chicago (unlikely since Wrigley was used for S29 and the White Sox are in town)
Kansas City
Oakland
Seattle (unlikely since T-Mobile Park is preparing for the 2023 MLB All Star Game)
Baltimore
St. Louis
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
New York (Citi Field would be available, but not Yankees Stadium)
Denver

The Mariners are out of town, but they will be hosting the All Star Game on Tuesday, so they may not use T-Mobile Park.  However, they may use Lumen Field next door for a football challenge or Climate Pledge Arena for hockey.

Space needle cluebox has three numbers to grab.  What if rappel down the Needle?

https://www.earthcam.com/usa/washington/seattle/?cam=seattleskyline - Not a close view of the Needle, but just in case.

I've been watching that live stream and there have been people on the top of the needle for a while now, wouldn't be surprised if it's crew prepping for us

[georgiapeach]

Please move any sightings to the LIVE finale thread please!

[Jjw26]

Peach, Linda, do we have any idea what the task was inside the glass garden?

[Jjw26]

Father/son have not arrived.

Huh?

[jacfield]

Father/son have not arrived.

Huh

Yeah,  ditto. How have they not arrived?

Runaway Joel & Garrett win incoming, possibly?  Unless the final memory task can shake things back up again.

I hope this isn't the case bc a runaway victory for a 90 minute episode sounds painful to sit through.

[Amazing01]

What happen to Rob & Corey?

[jacfield]

Maybe it is the wrong location... Or Joel and Garrett forgot something at the needle... No way they got that big of a lead.  Or did they? I'm in disbelief. 

[jacfield]

What happen to Rob & Corey?

The glass blowing place is 5 minutes from the needle.  Maybe it's possible they got there and left really fast and no one noticed.

[OMGitsGARRET]

I wonder how long this leg is going to end up being. I'm assuming the heights task at the Space Needle was the first/one of the first things they did?

TAR30, 31, 32, and 34 visited 6 locations/had 5 tasks (some unaired) so with only 3 teams and 90-minutes to fill I'm assuming it could be as many as possibly 8 locations/6 tasks.

[cole1024]

Based on sightings in Dublin and the suspected timeline of when they landed/checked in, I'm thinking they really jam packed that leg with tons of tasks. I would imagine they do the same thing here

[ianthebalance]

I was thinking tonight and came up with a production theory. With 90 minute episodes there will need to be many tasks for later legs to fill up airtime with less teams racing. So what if the reason we had a lot of countries having two legs early on is because each location has more tasks than usual so it is easier to have an earlier country be “split” into two legs and have many tasks fit into one leg later on.

To visualize my point since it might be confusing: (Using random numbers) Let’s say the first half of the season has 4 tasks per leg. That would be 8 per country overall. While let’s say the Ireland and US legs have 7 tasks each.

Just an interesting thought I had tonight

[Avid]

They wouldn't do  scramble at the end!!  would they ?  Why are the father /son not yet there in a really familiar  territory

[Maanca]

They might have gotten really stuck on a task. Remember the 31 finale, for example, when Leo & Jamal messed up the bank vault Roadblock and were there for hours? A situation like that can always happen.

[Amazing01]

Maybe there's still a memory task?

[jacfield]

I hope Rob and Corey are okay.

[Joberio]

What's going on?  This is an awfully long delay over "charges."

[jacfield]

What's going on?  This is an awfully long delay over "charges."

I presume that the race is over and the information available indicates who likely won, so it will not be shared. 

[OMGitsGARRET]

The leg has only been going for about 5-6 hours right? I think it's possible it could still be going, especially if there's a Memory Task and it's difficult. We've allegedly had several 8+ hour legs this season.

It is officially after midnight though in Seattle so that's kind of late, but they also willingly started a bit later.

[rtvguy5750]

Father/son have not arrived.

Huh

Yeah,  ditto. How have they not arrived?

this really doesn't make any sense, the locations are so close together, i feel like this is impossible

But they were seen leaving the Space Needle, that's why this doesn't make any sense, i feel like there's a huge gap here
