Topic: TAR 39 Speculation & Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

[Avid]

I wonder if they will do anything soccer related in tirana. Tirana has A soccer team

[Maanca]

A second leg should have filmed today, and I assume they're still there. Might as well get two legs out of the new country, right?

This late in the week?  I'd think that they'd have moved on to leg seven in the next country by now.

And still no word from TARHub Discord as to who's out or still in.

[Avid]

They mayb in one of  middle east countries, thats y no sightings..just like 37....or Uzbekistan coz australia was just ther

[Joberio]

SRI LANKA!

Per TARHub on Discord and Clubs That Suck, the crew has been spotted on a train in Sri Lanka!

[Avid]

Sri lanka ..hmmm..wonder if the snakes from AmazingRace australia 9 will still be there ..lol

[The Queen V]

Sri lanka ..hmmm..wonder if the snakes from AmazingRace australia 9 will still be there ..lol

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they would base the Asian legs to TARAus 9's Asian legs (most of which were fantastically designed though)

[TheRabbi]

Anyone think we missed a country between Albania and Sri Lanka? Feels like there was too long of a gap in there

[Xoruz]

Anyone think we missed a country between Albania and Sri Lanka? Feels like there was too long of a gap in there

This was my best guess of the timeline. Could always be wrong.

October 2: Leg 5 in Albania
October 3: Phil records bits to camera for Leg 6
October 4: Leg 6 in Albania
October 5: Production leaves for Sri Lanka
October 6: Teams start Leg 7 in morning, afternoon flight to Dubai, land in Dubai in evening
October 7: Evening flight to Colombo, teams land in Colombo

One flight option to Colombo.

LAOS!

Either leg eight or leg nine is in Vientiane, Laos!  Crew has been spotted there, per TARHub on Discord!

[Joberio]

Some tea from Clubs That Suck and TARHub on Discord:

Cody & Jaime, Dafina & Saran, and Doug & Dylan have all been back on social media, meaning that they all got the boot at times.  Cody & Jaime came back on after the second Morocco leg.  Dafina & Sarah came back on after the second Albania leg.  And Doug & Dylan returned to social media after Sri Lanka.

The Blue F/F Team (the mothers) weren't seen after the first Morocco leg, which makes TARHub and CTS think that they were gone there.

Possible order of elimination seems to be:

13th: Zach & Nate
12th: Katie & Charlotte
11th: Blue F/F Team
10th: Cody & Jaime
9th: Dafina & Saran
8th: Doug & Dylan

Meaning that the F7 is likely:

Anuar & Andrea
Ali & Joanna
Ann-Marie & Riley
Conner & Garrett
Dalton & Daisha
Erin & Javier
Michelle & Matt

[Joberio]

Michelle & Matt have resurfaced on social media, so they were eliminated in Laos.

Turns out that Laos had two legs -- Vientiane and a place called Vang Vieng.  Michelle & Matt got U-Turned out of the race on the former leg.  They tried to give themselves a chance by U-Turning Daisha & Dalton, but it didn't work.  Daisha & Dalton survived and finished fourth, while Michelle & Matt were eliminated.

Whichever teams finished behind Daisha & Dalton must've been pretty pathetic, though, to not be able to pass them when they were U-Turned.

Also, Daisha & Dalton were apparently U-Turned on a prior leg and survived that, too, which sounds impressive.

Standings so far:

13th: Nate & Zach
12th: Katie & Charlotte
11th: Blue F/F Team
10th: Cody & Jaime
9th: Dafina & Saran
8th: Doug & Dylan
7th: Michelle & Matt

F6:

Anuar & Andrea
Ali & Joanna
Ann-Marie & Riley
Conner & Garret
Daisha & Dalton
Erin & Javier

We're down to five, but no clue of who's been eliminated yet.  Social media will tell the tale sometime later today or tonight.

First Oceania visit since Season 22.

What are the chances they'll hit South America for F4 and make this a 6 continent route? Are there good flights there from Australia?

[TeamPlayerAlltheWay]

Wow I cannot believe we got a full leg in both Canada and Australia, two of the most seemingly obvious yet undervisited countries

Also with how seemingly they stayed in one country for two legs, would they stay in Australia for leg 11 or do they would visit another Oceania country before go back to US? But the options would be to New Zealand or Fiji only

[Maanca]

Yeah. Considering how Survivor is staying there forever, Fiji feels way overdue for its TAR visit.

[TeamPlayerAlltheWay]

Yeah. Considering how Survivor is staying there forever, Fiji feels way overdue for its TAR visit.

They are saving Fiji for the start and finish line for the inevitable All Survivor cast season 🤣

[Maanca]

Regardless, this is already the greatest route we've had in years!

If they did finish off in South America, hopefully with a country 36 didn't do. Ecuador and Bolivia have only been visited once - 11 and 13, respectively.

[Xoruz]

If teams are on this flight, it's about to land.

Actually, one team is already there.

[Joberio]

Well, damn.  Conner & Garret, Alejandro & Andrea, Daisha & Dalton, Ali & Joanna, and Erin & Javier's sightings confirm that Ann-Marie & Riley were out on the second Laos leg.

Standings so far:

13th: Nate & Zach
12th: Katie & Charlotte
11th: Blue F/F Team
10th: Cody & Jaime
9th: Dafina & Saran
8th: Doug & Dylan

Erin & Javier

[naejae91]

The production staked 5 F/F teams this season and yet none of them made F4

Edit: Oh well moving on guessing the F4 leg location. It will end up become 3 possible outcome where:

1) They going elsewhere within Australia and I'm betting either somewhere within Victoria state, or Tasmania or the famous Outback region of Uluru/Ayers Rock.
2) Getting out of Australia and heading nearby Oceania countries. I'm guessing either New Zealand or Fiji mainly for the availability of flights going back to US.
3) A big jump back to Asia or South America although it's unlikely due to the lack of justification of going Oceania for just 1 leg especially in low budget post COVID era

[Maanca]

At least 3 out of the 4 still have a female. So there's good odds on one winning.

[Joberio]

Holy crap!  I jumped the gun there!

Standings so far:

13th: Nate & Zach
12th: Katie & Charlotte
11th: Blue F/F Team
10th: Cody & Jaime
9th: Dafina & Saran
8th: Doug & Dylan
7th: Michelle & Matt
6th: Ann-Marie & Riley
5th: Daisha & Dalton

F4:

Anuar & Andrea
Ali & Joanna
Conner & Garret
Erin & Javier

Oh, thank you, merciful God.

[Maanca]

Ah, nice!

This looks like it's going to be a sports-heavy leg, so I'd be very surprised if it was the one that knocked the soccer players out.
