TAR8 Finale: 25 Days,50 Cities,and more than 600 Consecutive Hours as a Family..
Traegen:
I'm wondering if the sweatshirt could be from the Kamjama task. It looks like it has a boat wheel on it. I think they are in a hallway in Terminal 2. Walking that long walk to the short flight bus gate. So heading from Toronto to Montreal.
banzai:
Did anyone post these yet?

--- Quote ---this is making me crazy , is it safe to say the leg is Montana- Toronto-Montreal-Niagara/Gorge Falls ? its the only thing that makes any sense ? maybe we could just work with this and figure it out ?
Also is it safe to assume the Bransens doing the log whatever is a detour that they chose to do and the other 2 teams did the curling or whatever the case maybe ?

Puddin, you it's not safe to assume anything. That helps make it fun ]][
Let me add to the confusion:
I'll start with these 3 pieces of information:
From Chateau's timeline : The racers depart Billings on July 29. The two earliest times the racers could arrive in Toronto are 4:29 and 8:00 pm. (airwise.com)
Racers are spotted in Toronto on July 30 and fly to Montreal that afternoon.
The race ends at Joseph Davis State park on July 31 (possibly late afternoon per Niagara Falls)
The Bransens are shown doing a logging roadblock in daylight. This would have to be either the morning of the 30th in Toronto or the morning of the 31st in Montreal. I'm leaning toward Toronto because it appears that the Montreal events use the subway (or maybe a taxi). There's a vidcap of extremely sweaty Bransens in a van so I'm guessing they're in the van after the logging roadblock.
It looks like the golfcarts are used to transport the teams around Olympic Stadium. It's night time so this must be the evening of the 30th.
The Linzes are at the GeoDome in daylight. That would mean to me that it's the morning of the 31st in Montreal.
The trapeze roadblock is in Montreal. That could be done either before/after the Olympic Stadium task and after/before the GeoDome visit.
That leaves the curling. Is there enough time in Montreal to do that detour? Or are the Linzes and Weavers performing that detour in Toronto while the Bransens are doing the logging?
Finally, it's about 400 miles from Montreal to Niagara Falls. Looking at flight schedules, they can't fly commercially in time to get to the finish line by dark. Maybe they take charter flights to Niagara Falls International Airport. It's less than 10 miles from there to the jet boats.
P.S. I also realize that there are detours and/or roadblocks not shown in the previews like TAR7.
P.P.S. I find vidcap 20 interesting. Megan is at the Toronto airport all cleaned up with her make up on. You wouldn't think there would be enough time to do all that in the middle of a leg. Normally the women racers are all made up only at the start of a leg.
Traegen:
I'm trying to think of what the logs would be about. I can't think of anything here in Toronto that could be linked to that. All the tasks we know about in Toronto involve the water front and I can't think of anything there.
Chateau d If:
I don't know if it helps but by using the shadow on the cylindrically symmetric building in the background I calculated that this picture was taken between 11:52 am and 12:39 pm. (also assumes July 31st)
Later On: adding in some spoiler posts to bracket the time.
