The wording kinda make it look like the Scramble twist from leg 1 of TAR34!
I kinda liked the twist but it didn't work on leg 1, I feel like it would work much better here in a final 4. (But would be more exciting in a final 6-8)

We have 3 teams competing at the same time at the Riverdance roadblock.  If a Scramble is to be installed, then it would be too much of a coincidence  :funny:

The two free-standing railing-tops seems to match up with this photo of Forty Foot in the suburb of Sandycove.

Is the hurling at Croke Park a Roadblock as well? We have Corey performing both this and Riverdance at the Gaiety Theatre.

Looks like teams pick up and consult a folio at Castle Park School. A road atlas to help with the scramble? (If it's a scramble, teams have to do Forty Foot first. It's just round the corner and 15km/9mi from all the other tasks and the Pit Stop.)

Yes, it seems so.  Rob and Corey did not do 10 RBs like the other teams due to the use of Express Pass in the last leg, so Corey could do both.

Thanks ghmorello! A slight deviation from the usual where two-Roadblock-legs explicitly require a different team member for each task.

What we know so far in map form:

And this is why burning EP at the RB a good decision because they have an advantage to perform RB well with Corey doing both RBs (one of them is mandatory for him which is Riverdance task)

Yeah i doubt this will be a scramble leg, especially with how far the first location to the second one. With scramble, the locations of each tasks isnt necessary far from each other, and with how far is the swimming task location to the Dublin city center, and also hurling task to the rests of the leg, it's doubtful that the leg will be a scramble format one

Yeah, i just think the synopsis was worded weirdly, it just doesn't make sense to have a scramble

I would have the locations pegged as - CPS - FF - CP - Toner's - GT - PS

i would suggest maybe they ditch the self driving after Croke Park or maybe even Forty Foot?

Right, and people thought it was a bad idea.  Rob and Corey were not using it to play for a leg win.  They just wanted to avoid last and advance.  I'm sure the RB clues in this next episode will have a note saying, "Anyone who has performed 6 RBs on the Race CANNOT perform this RB."

Looks like Rob & Corey have this leg wrapped up, they seem to be in 1st in the 2nd clip (or at least ahead of Greg & John) and their not at the Roadblock in the 1st clip

Also yeah that Joel & Garrett clip definitely means their winning we haven't even heard what winning would mean to any of the other teams i think

Anna Leigh is the only person who's capped out 6 Roadblocks, so Steve's going to be forced into this one.

The establishing shot for Clip #2 is just round the corner from Toners here, but Greg/John are actually further up the street, outside The Mont Hotel and the Oscar Wilde House here.

If there aren't any extra route markers we haven't seen, the only location that fits getting to Toner is down from Croke Park.

Would the leg then be:
Option 1: Castle Park School > Forty Foot > Croke Park > Toners > Gaiety Theatre > St Patrick's Park (in which case Steve/Anna Leigh catch up at the Riverdance task); or
Option 2: Castle Park School > Forty Foot > Gaiety Theatre > Croke Park > Toners > St Patrick's Park (in which case Steve/Anna Leigh are completely out of it)?

There was some weirdness with the hotel booking segment on Expedia; teams were seen "booking" the Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport, the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport, and the Morgan Hotel in downtown Dublin. However, they didn't actually need to stay in Dublin overnight during the leg; their flight into Dublin was in the morning and they checked in to the Pit Stop that same afternoon.

Instead, we have teams presumably released from Stockholm from 7:38pm to 7:43pm, and their flight leaving presumably 12 full hours later at 7:35am, which would have required an overnight stay at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Adding to the strangeness is that the clock in the taxi to the airport shows 4:56(am), which fits the general lack of people in downtown Stockholm (granted, it was raining). I'm assuming the producers gave us the wrong Pit Start times, and that teams were released at 4am-ish instead for a 7:35am flight?

Oh, and the Pit Start was just across the road from the Sheraton Stockholm, which fits the production pattern of housing teams at a business-friendly hotel during the Pit Stop (no self-determined hotels booked through Expedia!) and releasing them just outside.

According to Steve and Anna Leigh's Parade Interview, there was a cut challenge in which teams had to repel down the hurling stadium's jumbotron before doing the 2nd Roadblock.
