Topic: TAR 38 Speculation & Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

[Xoruz]

I am not surprised if this season features all the countries that Big Brother is famous and popular at

Maybe they'll visit countries where Big Brother are currently airing or about to start airing?

I've had the same thought.

Still too early to say and it could be a coincidence, but right now we're 3 for 3 for countries that at least had Big Brother.

[Maanca]

If that's the theme, BB is also popular in some African countries (particularly South Africa). Wonder if they'll go somewhere there for the first time since S31.

By now, we have to have an elimination.  Who's on social media or been active online?

Turner posted after Leg 3, might be a little while more after Budapest.

I think he was gone before Budapest.  There might've been a second leg in Prague involving self-driving.  A fan claimed to have staked out some marked cars and saw Jag & Jas leaving first, which could corroborate the alleged sightings of them winning the prior leg.

To be fair, there are a lot of countries with Big Brother franchises so creating a route of only countries with BB seems pretty easy to achieve.

It's entirely possible to get visits to Albania and Kosovo, then....

[Joberio]

Budapast leg must be long over by now.  Anyone been active?

[Joberio]

Kat & Alex have just gone active on social media, and BB spoilers are confirming them out in Budapest.

According to Wikipedia, 63 franchises around the world. That means a huge number of places to pick.

[Alenaveda]

Looking to South America as potential destinations if that's the pattern:

Argentina, Brazil and Colombia have BB seasons currently running (in Argentina as Gran Hermano, in Brazil as BB Brazil and in Colombia as La casa de los famosos Colombia - with celebrities -)

Colombia, Chile and Equador had versions of Gran Hermano in the past.

Peru had a version called "La casa de los secretos".

Also, Chile, Equador & Peru had a joint version called "Gran Hermano del Pacífico".

Yes, I did look some of it up. I also deduced that possible option since we've had 4 legs in East-Central Europe, with no sightings  mentioned since Hungary. I was speculating 2 more legs in Europe before moving somewhere else.

Apparently Hannah and Simone were seen leaving the pitstop area last so likely the fifth team eliminated.

I'm really surprised that Izzy and Paige have made it this far.

[MostlyTired!]

I am slightly concerned regarding this season's route so far, solely because it would not stun me if CBS decided that having an actual race around the world would be too much for their precious BB contestants and hence is only sticking to East-Central Europe

Not worried about that. I highly doubt the producers ever want to do a one-continent route again after Covid forced them to for 3 seasons.

We're on leg 5 now, so they should be jumping continent in the next leg or two.

Fifth?  We're heading onto leg five.  Only four teams have been eliminated as of now.

[Robin4]

I don’t think so. It’s possible this was a double length leg (no rest time) but there have been spottings of teams after kat and her boyfriend were eliminated.

[Robin4]

I didn’t make a prediction for this season but I think if I did it would have looked something like this:

Early boots (no particular order): Chelsie and Jack, Angela and Lexi, Izzy and Paige, Hannah and Simone

Middle boots (no particular order): Natalie and Stephanie, Rubina and Kristine, Enzo and giacomo

Likely solid teams: Tucker and Eric, Taylor and kyland, kat and Alex, Tucker and Megan

End game teams: jag and jas, Joseph and Adam



It seemed to me that although there more female/female teams than male/male teams that the male/male teams were much stronger on paper. It sounds like Natalie and Stephanie are doing well though.

[Robin4]

Or I guess moreso I should say I didn’t know how Taylor and kyland, kat and Alex, tucker and Eric, and turner and Megan would pan out. I could have seen them going any which way.

Aaaaaaand source?

I could see them heading to Africa next (haven’t in 7 seasons!).

Yeah, I'm looking at South Africa as a possibility because they have a popular version of BB. Nigeria also has one, but it's a lot less likely they'd go there.

Mentioned this on TARHub, but RB cluebox was at the Ploče Gate, the building of the sleds took place at Revelin Square, and participants sledded to the finish line outside Crkva sv. Sebastijan

My guesses for transportation going from Budapest to Dubrovnik could either be they fly there or they could take a bus ride from Budapest to Zagreb and then an overnight bus ride from Zagreb to Dubrovnik.

Did they say how many teams showed up there?  Eight?  Nine?
