Topic: TAR 38 Speculation & Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

A couple days without sightings. No news is good news, I take as it meaning they're (finally) on a long-distance flight to another continent.

This didnt age well they are currently in Romania

15 days ago, i found on a website that The Amazing Race will pass at Bucarest. I immediately contact Peach by private message and i keep the secret.

I think something we need to realistically consider is that production spent so much money getting these teams to join that the route has been impacted. They’ve only flown once, are using self driving and trains, and are staying in affordable Eastern European countries. If they leave Europe at all, they’ll probably fly out to Asia for a leg or 2 before going back to the US. I’m picturing something like a season 25 route without the USVI and Morocco

[Robin4]

I don’t think production really spent that much money on these teams tbh. Most are recentBB players who honestly probably gladly accepted the invitation to get “more followers”/they don’t have a lot going on.

Definately I think budget cuts is what we’re seeing here. Season 31 had a normal route despite much higher caliber of returnee players

So Leg 6 is Montenegro and leg 7 is Romania?

So Leg 6 is Montenegro and leg 7 is Romania?

That seems to be the most likely atm

[guacamole300]

It really is a shame that from the looks of sightings they've encountered cloudy and rainy days while visiting these undervisited parts of Europe that are gorgeous. Hope it translates well to what we see in the episodes.

[Brannockdevice]

Per TAR Hub Discord, there is evidence that there is a second leg in Romania, with teams spotted in Comana Giurgiu in the Romanian countryside

[Robin4]

I'm thinking this may have been a "double-length/you're still racing" leg

[Robin4]

Still nothing? Feel like its been a while

[Robin4]

Natalie and Stephanie are rumored next eliminations based on IG activity.

I'm shocked how far Izzy and Paige have made it. Honestly good for them.

Six teams remain:
Jag and Jas
Tucker and Eric
Joseph and Adam
Izzy and Paige
Chelsie and Jack
Taylor and Kyland

Who will be eliminated next?!?!?!

[Joberio]

Natalie and Stephanie are rumored next eliminations based on IG activity

What?!  They were doing the best of the women's teams!  What could've happened?!

They really screwed up by casting too many strong men's teams.

[Robin4]

Along with casting three strong male teams, honestly none of the female teams were very strong. They've actually done a lot better than I was expecting even.

As much as I can't stand her, casting somebody like Christmas with another woman would've probably been a pretty strong female  team. Or even Alex from that season, or Kaycee.

With the exception of Natalie none of the women they cast from Big Brother female/female teams were in that great of shape. And even than, Natalie wasn't exactly known for being a great competitor either.

[redwings8831]

Is this whole season in Europe?

[Joberio]

Is this whole season in Europe?

So far, yes.

[TeamPlayerAlltheWay]

Along with casting three strong male teams, honestly none of the female teams were very strong. They've actually done a lot better than I was expecting even.

I dont think strong team necessarilly translate to surviving legs, theres male teams that seems strong (im thinking like Joe/Ian and Liam/Yeremi from 35, Anthony/Bailey from 36, and Nick/Mike from 37) not doing too well bcs theyre suck at the tasks given

I think it more from the tasks and legs design that give these all male teams more advantage, and im assuming with all these european legs, theyre gonna run more from one location to another and the leg design and tasks is just so linear theres no many chance to shake up the placement.

[MostlyTired!]

Welp, it looks like my theory is correct. We're most likely getting the entire season in Europe solely because "Oh it's Big Brother we need to make it easy on them." Genuinely hate how CBS just shoves TAR to the wayside. The awkward middle child of the reality TV trifecta I guess.

[Robin4]

Joseph and Adam are rumored to be eliminated last.

Five teams remain.

[ghmorello]

Did Leg 9 happen?

[Joberio]

Joseph and Adam are rumored to be eliminated last.

Five teams remain.

Well, finally, a men's team falls, if that's true.

I'm actually surprised that Joseph got this far, given that he was no great shakes in competitions in BB24.

[Robin4]

Its POSSIBLE Joseph and Adam aren't eliminated. They haven't returned to social media yet so its possible this most recent leg was the "you're still racing" leg of the season.

[ghmorello]

Next week maybe the last Asian leg in 2025 for the TV broadcast. 

[Joberio]

Its POSSIBLE Joseph and Adam aren't eliminated. They haven't returned to social media yet so its possible this most recent leg was the "you're still racing" leg of the season.

If the TAR Discord Hub has been saying it, then it's probably true.  They've apparently nailed every other one so far.

[Robin4]

Yeah, but in all other cases the person eliminated has been confirmed through social media activity after they were eliminated.

I do believe Joseph and Adam arrived last but its possible it was a "you're still racing" leg.

I think the Discord confirmed they were last to arrive but not necessarily eliminated
