Title: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: georgiapeach on June 07, 2023, 02:18:17 PM

This thread is theWORKZONEof our spoilers. [/b]

This is where ALL the spoiler speculation/discussion of the TAR 36 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread.
It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean. [/color]




(If the start is LIVE, then we will use that thread for all sightings Start to Airport Departure.)

ALL Discussion of the LIVE Sightings and comments on them go here!



As always, per RFF's practices, we do not spoil the start location (if known) or any teams until it is believed that the teams are safely underway. We would never want to put a team in jeopardy or cause them distress or interfere with the actual running of the race. Info on future legs may also occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand, we would love to know, so please feel free to PM or email me! Spoilers are treasured!

This thread will be opened once the race is beginning. (not yet!  :0328: )

Worth noting, we believe that teams still haven't landed in Bangkok yet. I'm sure Xoruz will post flight information at some point.

Looking at the flights that departed LAX last night, I'm guessing the flight was LA --> Seoul --> Bangkok, as the Seoul flight at 11:00pm was the only flight that had Thai Airlines listed, but that's just a guess.

They're going through Taipei. Not completely known if they are using two flights, but it would make sense with a task in LA and it's feasible.

I just check the flight from LA to Taipei
It is scheduled to arrive at 05:31 in Taipei time
So 10 more minutes

No, because there's photographic proof of a reused location from Season 26 (Blind Date Edition): the temple from the "Water" side of the Detour where teams went after eating century-eggs.

34 and 35 checked off most of the non-Asian countries named in 33's planned route, so 🤞 for Nepal (and maybe Vietnam) <3

We've waited a long time for it to be visited. Covid made it longer just as we were finally going to get it

Do you think TAR will be circumnavigating the globe going westwards? Do you think they will do a few stops in the U.S. before the final location?

I don't have inside knowledge like the mods do however I think it's likely they circumnavigate the world westbound visiting two or three countries in Europe that 33 and 34 didn't visit (Ireland, Finland, Latvia, etc) after Asia, some African countries are possible to also be visited. I don't believe they will do legs in the US (other than the final), but I could see them visiting Canada for the penultimate leg.

They had the perfect "scenario" to visit Canada in S35 and they wasted, it seems to me that they are not interested.

They've said in the past that they don't want to because it's too similar to the US. The only place that would be good for a leg is far up north where the culture's very different.

Anywhere else is better left covered by TAR Canada.

Wonder if they could rework their Lulea leg to take place in the summer?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm curious to know how long the Pit-Stops are gonna be, and when we should expect to see them again.

I think it's likely that leg 2 will be either Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, or Vietnam.

I speculate Leg 2 is in Thailand
Very likely replicate S33 route with Krabi as Leg 2
So I do think they may do a bus ride from Bangkok? (See TAR 9 with the bus terminal)
Then the Krabi leg may take like a day .

How are things in Myanmar?
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: Parovic on June 15, 2023, 08:53:54 PM
How are things in Myanmar?

Myanmar is a chaos
Political conflicts
Human Trafficking
Kidnapping
Censorship
Restrictions to tourist
Not to mention US government issue a Grade 4 warning to those who plan to visit there

If you wish to see a new country in Asia, Nepal or Brunei is Wayyyyyy more possible than Myanmar
Myanmar is never going to be visited for like 2-3 years

I'd expect, given teams finished the first leg around 7-8pm on Thursday 15 June Bangkok time, that they will be off again around the same time on Friday 16 June OR 7-8am on Saturday 17 June if it is 36 hours. 12 hours and 48 hours are relatively uncommon in 'normal' TAR, although we have had the 48 hour break in filming for the past few seasons with the charter plane.

Kiwi! Are start times for legs still in blocks or separate and in order based on time like before 33/34?

That I cannot tell you for certain, but from what I've heard we are back to pre-COVID rules and format, so I would EXPECT that they will be back to the traditional form of departure times.

Do we know they actually finished the leg at that time? Sunset in Bangkok is at around 6:46pm so it would be dark by the time they finish. And if they were on the flight speculated and raced right after getting off wouldn't that make for an 8 hour leg or even more??

I'm just asking because, wow, if that's the case lol. A far cry from the 3 hour little morning legs we saw in TAR35.

Tasks are confirmed to be harder and in more abundance this season

Fossil also overheard production as they set up earlier in the day saying the tasks are going to be harder and got the impression we are no longer in for linear legs, so expect them to be longer to fill our 90 mins mandate.

Speculation / educated guess: When I was in Nepal earlier this year, most/many fellow travellers flew in from Bangkok. If we're retracing the lost TAR 33 legs, it would make sense to have a leg in Thailand as a staging post to enter Nepal next!

The first few legs in Mexico and South America were all well thought out and going according to plan, but somewhere near the middle of the season they were going to travel to South Africa and Australia/Oceania for legs in the backhalf of the season.
Do we think it's likely they will visit South Africa since they were going to in 35? I could see them doing a leg in Cape Town and another in Stellenbosch since the last time they visited was TAR 2. I also think Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) is possible.

My guess is that they are somewhere in rural Thailand for leg 2, and that's why we aren't having sightings.

I see them heading to Singapore for leg 3, then heading to Vietnam before Nepal.

Edit: It's only been about 36ish hours from when leg 1 was reported to end, so it's possible they are just now/about to start leg 2.

I have a question. Are we going to be having 11 legs, with one of them being a Mega leg, to have the equivalent of 12 episodes? I know Phil said on Twitter awhile back that the there will be the same amount of episodes just each episode will be longer.

I'm assuming that with every leg 90 minutes, there's no more need for mega legs. Just add additional roadblocks and route infos to flesh out every leg. So 11 episodes, assuming there won't be any NELs going forward.

If they are filming Can Tho as part of leg 3 or 4, perhaps they may film in Ho Chi Minh City as well since it's about 170km away.

i am guessing:

leg 1: bangkok, Thailand - june 15
leg 2: thailand - june 16/17
leg 3/4: hcmc/can tho - june 18/19

30 and 31 started the trend of having a full extra day between legs with short distance covered (minus a megaleg or intentional keep on racing) - TAR 30 in France, TAR 31 in Vietnam and Switzerland, so I wouldn't be surprised at:

Leg 1 - July 15 - Bangkok, Vietnam
Leg 2 - July 17 - somewhere in Thailand or Vietnam
Leg 3 - July 19 - Can Tho, Vietnam

The most common way to get to Can Tho and areas surrounding it is over land (they visited Cai Be on the other side of the Mekong in TAR 3 by taxi and in TAR 15 by bus), but I suspect they might be force teams to fly to Can Tho instead, allowing Phil to get ahead of the teams on July 18th by flying to Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm assuming it's that as well. Someone brought up the possibility of teams booking their flight like with TAR 32 leaving Bogota for Manaus but in that leg they filmed tbat set up at the Pit Stop in daylight and then departed in late evening, vs here where the teams are running off the mat. If there's a long wait for a transport (TAR 28 waiting for the midnight train to Georgia, etc) they could use the time to film confessionals rather than just have teams sit somewhere for hours.

Not that it means that they're necessarily out, but who could be out by this time?

So far, everyone in the cast has been accounted for in Vietnam except for Elizabeth & Iliana, Joe & Ian, Rob & Corey, and Morgan & Lena.  Could at least two of those teams (maybe even three) have bitten the dust by now?

They don’t typically stay in SEA for more than 3 legs so westward towards central/south Asia and the middle east or southeast towards Australia/Oceania seems more likely.

Alex & Sheridan and Todd & Ashley were also not spotted in Vietnam. We only saw 7 teams at the pitstop in Can Tho. 11 should have been racing. Outside chance of 12 if one of the two believed Thailand legs was a non-elimination, mega-leg or KOR.

Clues were handed out at the end of this third leg, so it looks like this will be a KOR...

Ah, thanks.  I thought I'd remembered everyone.  Forgot about those two teams.

So that was at least six teams unaccounted for.  Likely any of those six were the first two gone.

In terms of destinations Vietnam isn't the most connected in Southeast Asia; there are some long-haul flights to Europe but I doubt they go there so early and for most other locations they'll probably connect through Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong.

The one country that stands out is Australia, with multiple nonstop flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Melbourne and Sydney (to say nothing of that as a connection to somewhere else in Australia) and an easy path to continue westward to South Africa or any of the Persian Gulf countries.

I really doubt they go on north aka Tokyo/HK for the LEG4

It makes sense if they actually connect thru Qatar,Singapore or Bangkok to other countries

Routes the past seldom back-track in the Asian portions. The only time happened was TAR3 when they travelled Switzerland-Malaysia-Singapore-Vietnam, TAR 4’s Malaysia-South Korea-Australia and TAR9  when they travelled Oman-Australia-Thailand  Otherwise, it is always generally moving Eastward / Westward.

I think logistically it is more possible to assume them going to Central Asia / Middle East via Qatar.

A similar form of backtracking was originally supposed to take place for TAR 24 with China-Philippines-Australia-Sri Lanka(?) so I wouldn’t say it’s completely off the table. Plus we do know there were intentions to go directly from South Africa to Australia during a charter season.

But it’s a bit odd for them going to Japan/SK/China?
Cuz they could have done it in Leg 1

Just a spec
If they do re-create the S33 route
It may make sense for them having the flight from
Can Thao - HCMC - Bangkok - Kathmandu

I don’t think anyone’s denying that East Asia is out of the picture, I think it’s more so saying that both backtracking to Oceania and going westward towards Central Asia and the Middle East are both viable options at this point in time.

Production has also blocked teams from connecting through certain countries for specific legs (I believe in TAR 24 we saw the clue text mention not being able to connect through Laos for no obvious reason which caused a stir at the time) and/or required teams to connect through specific cities (TAR 14 forcing teams to connect through Moscow or Delhi or Guangzhou, even though they were suboptimate routings). Especially in post-COVID TAR where they've only just started letting teams on commercial flights, they might want to corral teams in such a way that they arrive within a specific time frame.

Post by: Zack. on June 19, 2023, 07:20:38 PM
That's very true  :tup: My only hesitation is the weirdness of the Pit Stop - teams run in, see Phil who has clues in his back pocket, run out (which suggests a keep on racing which makes sense if there's a leg in Ho Chi Minh City) but then stop and film confessionals. There's plenty of taxis and buses (it's too short a distance to fly) to get from Can Tho to Ho Chi Minh City so why potentially impede a team at the 'start' of this kind of a leg when there's likely no bunching involved?
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: Avid on June 19, 2023, 07:39:08 PM
They usually get a small break while filming a KOR  . Am sure they maximized it before going to let's say  " ho chi min city" (speculation) or  any  another city close by  .its leg 4 and 4 MMs have been spotted out of 5 mms,which means that a mm will make it to leg  8 regardless . If a 5th mm is spotted,it would mean that a mm would make it to leg 9 regardless. 2 FF spotted means that a Ff team will make it to leg 6 regardless. Am I right?  :duno:

I hope so as well. 2 legs in Thailand and 2 legs in Vietnam are just too similar in nature. But logically why would they make leg 3 in Vietnam a KOR (speculated) if the next leg involve long distance travel out of the region? Wouldn’t it be more logical to make either the second leg a KOR with a 3rd leg covering shorter cross-border travel distance for bunching purpose?

I know TAR22’s example existed (Bora Bora - Christchurch - Bali), but isn’t it the result of a delay in the filming date of the NZ leg, owing to bad weather condition and delayed flight arrival?

8. Another leg in SA (or the Gambia)
9. Bulgaria (or a Baltic country)

Yeah I think you might be right on this one. Predicting where Phil and the crew are going next is still pretty difficult (I have used some of these places before in previous wishlists). We’d be lucky if we get a few commonly wished locations.

Realistically leg 4 might be? in Vietnam (though 4 legs in SEA is too much), the next leg could be in Central/Southern Asia or the Middle East (Oceania might be on TAR 37)

(Charlotte kinda seems unrealistic now that I think about it, but it is a growing city and recent end cities have been in unique places, with TAR, anything can happen)

Yea I like Charlotte but it doesn't feel big enough for it to  have a finale honestly. There's a few things to do but nothing crazy.

Based on the recent sightings:
Elizabeth/Iliana and Alex/Sheridan are most likely out in Leg1 /Leg2
If leg 3 is KOR leg but an elimination leg Victor/Jocelyn are likely out because Andrea/Malaina and Greg/John are seen with clues and running after meeting phil in the pitstop.
For leg4 Greg/John, Andrea/Malaina and Jocelyn and Victor are in danger.
10 elephants were used in amber fort but is doesnt mean that 10teams are still in the running. 8 teams were only seen in leg 5?  and it could possible some teams have covid.

So with the list of eight teams listed being seen, only five teams are unaccounted for: Andrea & Malaina, Victor & Jocelyn, Greg & John, Alex & Sheridan, and Elizabeth & Iliana.

Because of Iliana's social media activity, we know that Elizabeth & Iliana are gone for sure.  Likely first or second out.

With Victor & Jocelyn, Andrea & Malaina, and Greg & John's sighting in Vietnam, that at least takes them past the second elimination.

With Alex & Sheridan unaccounted for in Vietnam, that means that they're out before that point.  Either first or second to go.

So yeah, as has been said, one of Victor & Jocelyn, Andrea & Malaina, and Greg & John bit the dust in Vietnam.  The other two are still alive and kicking.

Question is, which two?

Here is something random.

What are the chances of the Race visiting Algeria? Algeria is now a Level 2 warning on the US travel advisory. Can’t believe Algeria is safer than China or HK in the American eye lol.

Algiers would be a route-saving godsend versus another tired Moroccan revisit should Tunis be somehow unavailable.

In the meantime, one will have to tolerate the likelihood of Leg 6 staying in India.

If they plan to go to Africa Rwanda is also a good country to visit seeing how the country has been advancing really quickly. But the fact that the country is increasingly English friendly is a huge drawback.

Kigali and Mt. Karisimbi would indeed be far superior destinations versus ultra-lame Tanzanian retreads.

As for the sixth leg, it's likely another North Indian locale.

Usually TAR had had teams connect through Delhi or Mumbai to leave India; in either case (or if they use Dubai as a connection), much of Africa and Europe become viable.

I will note that TAR usually goes to the Netherlands every 3-4 seasons or so (plus BvM loves it) - since the last visit was TAR 31 (and before that TAR 27) maybe it's a destination to watch for?

Based on instagram activity, i think both Joe & Ian and Liam & Yeremi are out in India.
Damn!  Joe & Ian, too?!  They looked young and fit!  I would've bet money that they would've made it to or near the endgame!

Who else looks to be out?  We still haven't solved the mystery of who went out in Vietnam after the megaleg

Bootlist so far is:

13th: Elizabeth & Iliana/Alex & Sheridan
12th: Alex & Sheridan/Elizabeth & Iliana
11th: Greg & John/Victor & Jocelyn/Andrea & Malaina
10th: Joe & Iam/Liam & Yeremi
9th: Liam & Yeremi/Joe & Ian

Just glad that two men's teams fell.  But I have to say that this is a change.  India usually claims the women's teams.  Very refreshing that it claimed the men's teams instead.

Not in this case.  Their activity was recent, around the time of the India legs.  They clearly took their phones with them, but got them back from production.

It's not unusual.  This was how we detected who got eliminated and when last season, too.

Based on the 10 elephants/tents in leg 5, it looks like we are entering our next country with 8 teams: Robbin/Chelsea, Steve/Anna, Corey/Rob, Lena/Morgan, Garrett/Joel, Todd/Ashlie, and then 2 of Greg/John, Victor/Jocelyn, Andrea/Malaina

If we lost two teams in India as speculated (and likely indicated by social media activity), then it's the F8 heading into leg seven.  They're likely

Steve & Anna
Rob & Corey
Robbin & Chelsea
Lena & Morgan
Garrett & Joel
Todd & Ashlie

This pic is on the mat in Vietnam with Andrea&Malaina and Greg&John. They all look happy and Phil is smiling. Based on this, I feel like they likely survived this round. If that’s the time we’re saying they might have been eliminated, I feel like it’s more likely Victor&Jocelyn got out.

This was the Pit Stop for the first half of the mega-leg.  There was still a second half to do, amd Victor & Jocelyn could've caught up.  That's why we're not quite counting them out or both of Greg & John and Andrea & Malaina in just yet.  Unless, of course, Greg & John and Andrea & Malaina were in the upper half of the standings and Victor & Jocelyn in the lower standings by the midpoint, and the latter team just couldn't catch up afterwards.

But till then, we're not jumping to any conclusions until we spot at least one of those teams on leg seven (if that can even happen).

Is it confirmed that it was a megaleg/KOR leg? Or could it have been a situation like in 32 where they got clues to book with Expedia for the next leg? Or even like in 32 and 35 where we had a KOR with an elimination.

This is also COMPLETE speculation but I’m guessing that Andrea & Malaina are team #2 because one of them is holding up a #2. So Greg & John would either be team #1 or team #3. Again, pretty much just speculating for my own enjoyment hahaha

a.) Flight connection problem which caused them delayed? or b.) the transportation problem in Jaipur that misdirect them to a different place?

Also,at the pitstop I could hear team jocelyn say, we are back again,which indicates they went back to get something that mayb cost them.

Looking at some more of their tweets, they were a flight attendant on a flight from Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. They said they only saw about 5 teams on that flight (chance there were multiple flights!) but that it was late at night. Finally they also said Steve/Anna asked them for directions to get to the bus station to their next pit stop.

So no new information here since the flight was from Thailand to Vietnam but thought the info was interesting

Since legs usually take place every other day this season, leg 6/7 (we don't know if Vietnam was 2 legs with a No-Rest Pit Stop or a Mega leg with a fake Pit Stop) probably started today. If we don't have sighting by tomorrow, then I believe they're somewhere rural. Whether that be Europe or Africa, I don't know.

Hopefully, we get something soon. I hope for an African country that has never been visited and/or an African country that hasn't been visited since the early days of the Race.

Frankfurt to Cologne via Rüdesheim am Rhein is more than a 3 hour drive. If teams have trouble with directions it could be even 4 or more.
That type of lengthy drive isn't something we see often on modern TAR. I'm happy to see it though but I'm a bit cautious if that's really only one leg.
That much distance makes me think that it is two legs possibly.

yeah I don't think they will have a task in Rüdesheim am Rhein.. its probably that the boys were a bit lost and needed instructions.

I think it's great they have to self drive over 3h! Adds a little bit of spice to the episode!  :luvya:

I think it's possible that Rüdesheim am Rhein was leg 7 and Cologne is leg 8 (just spec, not confirmed)
could be a mega leg but with elimination? idk
They did a 3 hour drive in leg 5 of 33, so I do think them flying into Frankfurt, then driving to do a task in Rüdesheim am Rhein, then driving to Cologne in 1 leg is possible and likely.

Final 5 usually, but there are the exceptions. I think almost all of us have no idea if U-Turns are back, so I believe if they're back that there's one ahead.

This is just speculation, but I don't think they're filming inside the airports this season. Our only airport sighting all season was of those few teams at LAX getting tickets leg 1 and after that nothing. We usually get quite a few airport sightings inside LAX too. No other sightings inside any other airport or teams running out of any airport. It feels odd for a non-charter season. A lot of the drama on the show happens in the airports so if my theory is right, why aren't they filming in the airports?

We were vacationing in Europe in May, and we were in Rudesheim! There is a great museum that would be an ideal place for TAR, Siegfried's Mechanical Music Museum, also known as Siegfried's Mechanisches Musikkabinett. They have a lot of very vintage restored musical machines that play many instruments, some hundreds of years old. We thought it was great! I would love to see them have a task there. It's highly recommended as those machines are amazing and play some great music.

I do think the lack of airport sightings is weird, but in the LAX sighting the cameras are filming the teams though right? So if it was a conscious decision to not film in airports then I don't know why it would be allowed in LAX and not allowed anywhere else. I would THINK the large crowd of people in bright clothes and backpacks would be enough to get a sighting if the right people are around regardless of if they are filming. I'm not sure if the filming in airports would be connected to the lack of airport sightings.
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: Jjw26 on June 27, 2023, 11:56:42 PM
If my theory is right, then I think they were filming the ticket counter in order to show the audience that the charter flight is gone and possibly bc teams were on different flights with first come first serve and then possibly they turned off the cameras after (or as they went through TSA).

As for the colorful clothes thing, I don't think I personally would think much of it unless I saw cameras around them. Again, just speculation. The episodes could air and prove me wrong or maybe we'll even get an airport sighting at some point before the season ends that would prove me wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

The schedule was a travel day on June 26 and a leg on June 27, wasn't it?  It really should've been the first Germany leg yesterday unless a leg really did happen out of anyone's sight.

Doesn't the KOR non-elimination (Vietnam) mean that with a 12 leg race there wouldn't be another non-elimination leg? So I don't see how a mega leg is possible at this point considering the first half technically is a "non elimination"

Leg 1 (Bangkok): 13 teams -> 12 teams
Leg 2 (Bangkok): 12 teams -> 11 teams
Leg 3 (Can Tho): KOR/non-elimination
Leg 4 (TBD, Vietnam): 11 teams -> 10 teams
Leg 5 (Amer/Jaipur): 10 teams -> 9 teams
Leg 6 (Jaipur): 9 teams -> 8 teams
Leg 7 (Germany): 8 teams -> 7 teams
Leg 8 (Germany?): 7 teams -> 6 teams
Leg 9: 6 teams -> 5 teams
Leg 10: 5 teams -> 4 teams
Leg 11: 4 teams -> 3 teams
Leg 12: Finale

It's possible; wherever they are in Germany they can get to Frankfurt (or Zurich) and fly to most major hubs in Africa. The penultimate leg would probably be in a pretty big European city or (less likely) an African city that flies directly the the US.

It could be either  :duno: Even if it is another leg in Germany or somewhere nearby (Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium, etc), there's no real pattern to how they've filmed the prior legs this season; the two speculated legs in Bangkok took place over two days (6/15, 6/16), the two speculated legs in Vietnam took place over one day (6/19) and the two speculated legs in Jaipur filmed over three days (6/22, 6/24).

The last few times they've had legs in Germany there's been a day gap (or more) prior to the following leg - in TAR 34 it was for COVID testing (may have filmed the next day otherwise), 32 had a long-haul flight to Kazakhstan, and 26 and 22 both had longer Pit Stops to get Phil ahead of teams. My gut is thinking it's a rest day and they're driving to Belgium tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised at anything that comes up.

Something interesting but probably unrealistic: We know there was a clue box at the Hohenzollern bridge in Cologne which has locks all around it, and there is also a bridge in Ljubljana which also happens to have locks on it. It would be cool if there was some type of task connecting the two bridges. Even if it's something minor like receiving a key in Cologne to use in Ljubljana, or it could be a real task where they need to remember some part of the bridge in Cologne to help them find a clue in Ljubljana

if the race is 21 days and they started racing on June 13, the final leg would be on Monday. Because there’s one day where they have to travel back to the states, it seems tight if there are still 7 teams left. Any chance there are 6 left and we missed an elimination somewhere?

I know TAR's mottos is "12 shows in 21 days" but they almost never actually get done within 21 days lol. Most modern seasons take between 23 and 26 days. This season will likely be the same.

Depends on the season; as with all sightings there's an element of luck in who spots the groups of two and makes the mental connection to The Amazing Race though it tends to be easier on seasons with recognizable people (25, 28 and 31 all had sightings in airports or flights during the final leg).

Coming in from Europe there's a decent number of nonstop flights into the US (in particular LHR, CDG and FRA if they double back), though that may not necessarily indicate where they came from or where they're going. Prior to a few days ago I was thinking was a concerted effort to avoid countries visited in charter flight era TAR but that's out the window now lol.

I was looking through Instagram stories for both Kranjska Gora and Planica all day and didn't find anything. Probably another leg of no sightings. Guess they must've have driven there since that's over an hour away from the train station.

Also interesting they had a clue box outside of the train station instead of just having the next clue box being at Kranjska Gora or Planica.

I have a feeling that Vietnam 2 might be somewhere rural. If there's possible sighting of teams going in either Ninh Binh / Hue / Da Nang, how about those?  :duno:

All those potential destinations are too far from the Southern region to reach in time for Jaipur; Occam's Razor, it's just a Ho Chi Minh City revisit with an outside chance of Cai Be.

NOT surprised AT all !!! It looked to be a very physical task, with that ski jump. It looked steep. I don't know how the 3  older dads did it. Mayb it came down to roadblock choice.

I am not sure what the carpentry task in Ljubljana concerned, but it may have involved a Klopotec, a traditional wooden device, similar to a windmill or weathervane, used to scare birds from vineyards. With the task guide looking like a farmer and the wooden boards having multiple pegs, this could be an element of Leg 9.

I'm rooting for Rob & Corey and Steve & Anna. We haven't had a Parent/Child win (last one was Dave & Connor) or let alone make the Finale (last one was S.28 with Sheri & Cole).

The Slovenian Legs may have been a very physical one. I applaud the ladies for making it this far especially 2 FF teams over 40.

No. They fly back home once eliminated. Only the final 4 boot, and maybe the final 5 boot, stays with them and flies to the finale city. All other boots are flying home and then later flown out to the finale city once it's time for it.

This started during TAR 33 2.0.
TAR33 1.0 did have a Sequesterville in Portugal. Michael & Moe and Arun & Natalia talked about spending a few days there. But since COVID they've just been sending teams home right away where they're free to use their phones. Hence why we're getting social media spoilers for 35 and 36 for the first time ever.

No worries!

They haven’t backtracked and there is no indication they ever intended to visit France. The route thus far is as follows:

1: Bangkok, Thailand
2: Thaiyawat, Thailand
3: Can Tho, Vietnam
4: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (suspected)
5: Amer, India
6: Jaipur, India
7: Cologne, Germany
8: Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
9: Ljubljana, Slovenia

The next leg should be filmed tomorrow. We will post where when it’s safe to do so.

It isn't the city. It's the area. We knew it was 'around Bangkok' but we have since discovered the locations are in the Nakhon Pathom province, nearest the Thaiyawat area.

I think they might be burnt out from Central/South America after TAR 35.

That said, since Cologne was visited apparently countries from 34 are fair game to be revisited. I doubt France will host a leg due to the riots (even if they are currently winding down) and another penultimate leg in Iceland would be a little too soon...Spain perhaps? The last two times they stayed in Andalusia but there's still Barcelona, Pamplona, Madrid, Basque Country, etc etc. all of which can connect to the US pretty easily.

Can't remember the last time 2 parent/child Teams made F4. Is this confirmed?, if Todd & Ashlie are gone, then All-Male F3 is on the horizon. I wouldn't mind, since it's not your typical all-male teams making the endgame. I hope the Father/Son Team isn't like Dave & Connor.

I suddenly remembered. S.35 had 2MM in the Finale. The remaining MM's are different tho, but am rooting for Steve & Anna. Would love for a Parent/Child to win. Father/Daughter's on TAR US are rare to make the end.

But then again it's out of my control, so I'll just sit back and watch, whether it be Steve & Anna + 2 MM's or 3 MM's in the Finale.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a U-Turn in Stockholm. The final 5 is a common place for them (32 and 31 both had final 5 U-Turns)

My guess would be either Ljubljana (leg 9) or Stockholm, one of the India legs, and then if they were to do a 3rd maybe one of the Vietnam legs?

The final country of a route is typically somewhere with easy access back to the US. Obviously the riots in France will keep them out of there (it's the #1 visited European country by seasons, so it won't be too missed), so the UK seems like a good candidate.

A 2nd visit to Ireland proper would be nice, agreed.

In most seasons, the final leg's usually been the next day after the F4, no extra day break. After over 3 weeks of travel, the crew probably just wants to finish up and go home.

For the U.S. Cities that would let the show use their Major League Baseball Stadiums due to their team being on the road:

Dallas-Fort Worth
Atlanta
Philadelphia (unlikely since Philly was used for S35)
Chicago (unlikely since Wrigley was used for S29 and the White Sox are in town)
Kansas City
Oakland
Seattle (unlikely since T-Mobile Park is preparing for the 2023 MLB All Star Game)
Baltimore
St. Louis
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
New York (Citi Field would be available, but not Yankees Stadium)
Denver

(Btw, I don’t care that the f3 is all guys, considering that I’m also male, next season needs more girl teams though)
I also find it wild how I predicted this season was going to have legs in undervisited European countries (though I might’ve mixed up Balkans and Baltics), I even got the penultimate city/country correct. Time will tell if I correctly predicted the end city

I wonder how long this leg is going to end up being. I'm assuming the heights task at the Space Needle was the first/one of the first things they did?

TAR30, 31, 32, and 34 visited 6 locations/had 5 tasks (some unaired) so with only 3 teams and 90-minutes to fill I'm assuming it could be as many as possibly 8 locations/6 tasks.

Post by: cole1024 on July 08, 2023, 12:57:37 AM
Based on sightings in Dublin and the suspected timeline of when they landed/checked in, I'm thinking they really jam packed that leg with tons of tasks. I would imagine they do the same thing here
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: ianthebalance on July 08, 2023, 01:03:42 AM
I was thinking tonight and came up with a production theory. With 90 minute episodes there will need to be many tasks for later legs to fill up airtime with less teams racing. So what if the reason we had a lot of countries having two legs early on is because each location has more tasks than usual so it is easier to have an earlier country be “split” into two legs and have many tasks fit into one leg later on.

To visualize my point since it might be confusing: (Using random numbers) Let’s say the first half of the season has 4 tasks per leg. That would be 8 per country overall. While let’s say the Ireland and US legs have 7 tasks each.

Just an interesting thought I had tonight

The leg has only been going for about 5-6 hours right? I think it's possible it could still be going, especially if there's a Memory Task and it's difficult. We've allegedly had several 8+ hour legs this season.

It is officially after midnight though in Seattle so that's kind of late, but they also willingly started a bit later.

Where might they have gone after the glass blowing stop?  It they were looking for another high elevation task they could've gone to Columbia Center in downtown that is a 76 story building or possibly the Big Wheel Ferris Wheel on the waterfront.  If they got out of the downtown area a possible stop might have been the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field.  With the finish well after dark I would speculate that it was an indoor finish.  They may have backtracked to Climate Pledge Arena at the Seattle Center home of the Seattle Kraken who happen to have Jerry Bruckheimer as one of the owners of the team as well as an executive producer for the Amazing Race.  My guess for the finish line however is the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) which is located at the south end of Lake Union just east of the Seattle Center and is keeping in line with other indoor finishes to previous races.

Question: with only 11 legs being shown on the 35 timeline and us having no sighting of the potential leg 4 for 36, is it possible that with the addition of 13 teams they have decreased to 11 legs to have 0 NELs? If this is the case then there would be just 1 leg in Vietnam and the clues that they were seen given after was for a Travelocity App Product Placement to book their flights for the next leg (like how our sightings in Colombia in 32 we saw teams get the clue to do the Product Placement sequence and not because it was KOR).

Leg 4 is in Vietnam. That is a fact. There were no sightings, but a 2nd leg did happen in Vietnam 100%.

Can you tell me if you have some top secret evidence that you aren't allowed to reveal? Because there hasn't been anything shown on the site

Question: with only 11 legs being shown on the 35 timeline and us having no sighting of the potential leg 4 for 36, is it possible that with the addition of 13 teams they have decreased to 11 legs to have 0 NELs? If this is the case then there would be just 1 leg in Vietnam and the clues that they were seen given after was for a Travelocity App Product Placement to book their flights for the next leg (like how our sightings in Colombia in 32 we saw teams get the clue to do the Product Placement sequence and not because it was KOR).

There's definitely twelve legs. In Jaipur 1, 8 teams were sighted, only missing Greg & John (who we know made the final leg), Andrea & Malaina and Jocelyn & Victor. There were 10 stations sighted in Jaipur 1 for the Detour, so one of these teams was eliminated.

Andrea & Malaina checked in at the same time as Greg & John and then walked away from the mat together with Greg & John, suggesting neither team was eliminated (to say nothing of the social media spec). Jocelyn & Victor appeared to be celebrating as they ran to the mat and I have to assume a team cheering at the sight of Phil isn't getting eliminated. There's a small chance J/V were eliminated and just well-adjusted but I think the far easier explanation is they too were not eliminated here and there's an extra leg before India.

As far as whether Leg 4 in Vietnam or elsewhere, if they're going to a different country Phil still has to be able to get ahead of teams to film standups in this new country, film the leg (probably on 6/20) AND get ahead of the teams en route to India (also probably by leaving on 6/20 vs teams departing on 6/21). One consistent pattern this season is at least one calendar day separating legs in different countries, which would make the timing too narrow for a leg in another country.

Plus the person who saw them at the mat in Vietnam said that none of the teams they saw were eliminated.

Then maybe it was an NEL instead, and Victor & Jocelyn just got the boot on the next leg.

Potential keep on racing leg in Germany?
Mega leg in Germany seems the most logical to me at this moment given that teams were spotted in two relatively far away locations.

Also, this fits the general pattern of 2 legs in one country established since Season 34:
Thailand (x2) - Vietnam (Megaleg) - India (x2) - Germany (Megaleg) - Slovenia (x2) - Sweden - Ireland

Excited to have 13 episodes for a TAR season since TAR11 :welcome: TAR ‘35’ then has the record of the longest run time of any TARUS season with all episodes being 90-minute long  :clap2:

I find it a little hard to believe they'd go back to 13 episodes for the first time since TAR11.
Also doesn't make sense the premiere is on September 27th and not September 20th instead. If they have to take a break for the 3 hour Survivor finale then the TAR finale would air after Christmas.

With 35 and 36 both having 13 teams, TAR's clearly latching onto this idea of "no Non-Eliminations" they started in 34. Can't see why they'd go back to an extra leg now, it's counter-productive.

September 27th to December 13th is 12 weeks, which lines up with the 12 legs speculated in the race timeline.

The 3 hour Survivor finale will be on December 20th, which is consistent with the previous four survivor seasons all having 13 episodes.

EDIT: Oh didn't see the article on the previous page saying there are going to be 13 episodes. Maybe they do something like a Thursday episode one week after Big Brother ends (November 9th).

The racers are in for plenty of surprises this season when a former team serves as judges at the end of the first Roadblock which sees team members cross a perilous tightrope stretched in between two rooftops. The show is also returning to commercial traveling, and will once again have no non-elimination legs. Plus, the Express Pass is back (!) and a twist on the infamous U-Turn will shake things up and make this season of the Race more competitive than ever.

Looks like the rural Vietnam leg basically used TAR Canada 4's "Hydrate" Detour from Cai Be. Fill a sampan with coconuts, paddle downstream and unload them at a stand (there's a clip on YouTube since this task caused the BB crossovers' biggest fight that season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_RtaiI0vsE)

The tag number of the plane (https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/se-gee#30f9340c) has a few flights based in Sweden

...and as fate would have it there are two flights on July 3rd:

The previous times they've had a skydiving task that I can remember (TAR 9, TAR 22, TAR 24) they've used multiple flights for individual teams or groups of teams which makes me think this is a task for one and only one team to perform...maybe it's a Fast Forward?  :duno:

So if thats the case, then clue might tell them to complete the puzzle (and a tightrope) of their first destination's nickname to racers, with racers might have a little to none clue that the first destination and the starting line's city share their nickname.

It looks like the statues are supposed to be of them but not that specific statue/location. But it does narrow it down to likely be somewhere in Cologne

Give it a few days. Once the cast all start talking about their experience to social media and the press, maybe whoever that happened to will bring it up.

Andrea & Malaina rappelling in what looks like one of Rajasthan's hill forts based on the vegetation

(https://i.imgur.com/l8jV0Wu.png)
The U-Turn is in Jaipur! I think it makes sense that one leg takes place in the hills around Amer (perhaps the leg with the rappelling and teams riding in to Amer Fort on elephants; although if the pot-balancing Roadblock took place inside the fort then I'm not sure if we'd see a second Roadblock in the same leg) and another takes place in the city of Jaipur, with a task relating to flower garlands and cycling (see the next screencap).
I am not surprised that either Joe & Ian or Liam & Yeremi are likely victims of the U-Turn.

Is there a possiblity that germany leg is a mega leg one in cologne and rudesheik amd rhein making this season 13 episodes?
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: Zack. on October 05, 2023, 04:31:47 PM
Assuming a 'normal' Survivor season, Survivor 45's three hour finale will likely be December 20, so TAR would need to end by that point. 12 episodes leads to a finale date of December 13, while 13 eps means TAR (or Survivor) would have to take a week off right before the final, killing any excitement for it.

It's possible though they could fill tasks in both Rudeshem and Cologne within a single 90 minute episode, especially since there will be fewer teams by that point.

In a press pic, phil handled and gave the clues at the pit stop. It's very likely a KOR leg. now whether the KOR leg also eliminating a team ala TAR 32 is remain to be seen

I just don’t know how we’re gonna get to 13 episodes if a team is still eliminated despite the KOR. On the other hand, doesn’t that technically break the no NEL rule?

The Mega leg in Vietnam seems to have a fake Pit Stop as the halfway point, so I'm hoping my message to Pat asking them to stop telling teams when Mega legs occur and to bring back the fake Pit Stop for it worked!

Also, is 13 episodes confirmed? I thought it was a typo.

Edit: Currently 11 episodes are up on the schedule for the season (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/amazing-race/listings/ (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/amazing-race/listings/)).


Well, it was a KOR

Post by: ianthebalance on October 07, 2023, 06:33:37 PM
If only 11 episodes is accurate (assuming a 12th episode isn't listed for some reason) then the additional clue at the pit stop mat could be

A: a surprise additional task to perform like in London in 31 (I don't recall seeing a roadblock in any of the press pics)

B: A ballot for the voting U-Turn (perhaps to submit at the end of leg 4 to have effect on leg 5 since the express pass expires before that). Admittedly this one is a stretch.

C: Expedia Product Placement

But could just be a listing error too

Another thought about the Vietnam leg(s), could it really be classified as a megaleg since they have explicitly said that megalegs will have two Roadblocks/two Detours? Obviously they're free to change up the rules as they please but this next leg appears to have a Detour and an ARI in the floating market

And a long six-hour train ride is involved at some point in this "leg" too. Previous mega legs took place in the same city or at least close by.

We know episode 3 will end with them still racing, Phil was seen handing out the next clue. I presume it's an elimination anyway like S32 Leg 1, or having a mat in the middle is technically a NEL ;)

I'm confused now that Andrea & Malaina look to have made it to India.

Post by: ianthebalance on October 11, 2023, 10:06:59 PM
So now that we have an official confirmation that it was a KOR and continuing in Vietnam, that leads to some questions about the episode listings:

1. Is it missing the 12th episode date for some reason?

2. If not, are they pushing two legs into one episode? (an idea I had for 36's later episodes if they have to be 90 minute episodes)

Well, I dmed Pat after the episode and asked if production considered this an KOR or Mega leg. He said it's a KOR, and Mega leg doesn't feature Phil in the middle, so the double-length leg with fake Pit Stop still is dead.

Further, between Joe & Ian and Liam & Yeremi, Joe & Ian have higher odds of being our U-Turn victim. The clip of the two of them saying "you never know what can happen" (that plays in seemingly every TAR ad) seems like a typical U-Turn confessional.

Ok so this is just spec, but from this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiOAYHwzGDM&t=23s
Looks like Joel and Garrett might be first?

And i'm thinking maybe the brothers are out first, because at the 19th second, it looks like Joe & Ian are in a footrace to the pitstop with Todd & Ashlie, and then we see Todd say: please don't eliminate us, which he would't say if they beat Joe and Ian to the mat.

To add onto that theory: in one of the sneak peaks you can see the first 8 teams to reach the first location (picking up the bundles). The two teams not seen (likely 9th and 10th to reach it) are both pairs of brothers. So it looks like Liam/Yeremi start at the back of the pack which can increase their chances of going this leg

Liam & Yeremi really haven't shown to be a "we gotta U-Turn them" team, they'll just come last on their own.

The likely candidates are Robbin & Chelsea since they've been burning bridges for the last 3 legs, or Steve & Anna Leigh for being the current frontrunners. I feel like we're being set up for the former.

I'm pretty sure teams where spotted in Rudeshein am Rhine first no?
Coming in from Frankfurt... unless it was the other way around?

I think teams land in Frankfurt, have to drive to Rudeshein am Rhine for the castle task (and maybe another task?)
Then drive to Cologne for the Football task (maybe a FF?), the bridge task and then we know the Chocolate Museum is our pitstop.

I think it's just a long leg, old school style, with a lot of driving!

Post by: Zack. on November 02, 2023, 09:47:12 AM
Rudesheim am Maine to Cologne is roughly 164km distance (2h30 travel time); they've covered that distance in single-length legs before (TAR 33 Leg 5 comes to mind) and even if the driving causes teams to spread far apart they're bunch on the train to Slovenia (much like in TAR 32 with Kaylynn & Haley being hours behind everyone in France). I'm inclined to say it's one long leg.

(eta there's an outside chance of it being on the grounds of the nearby Stanjel Castle (https://www.visitstanjel.si/en/), slightly further inland but still near the southern Slovenian-Italian border)

Looks like a good match! Could this be the second pitstop?
Because if the first leg is mostly northern Slovenia, it doesn't make sense to have the pitstop in the southern part....

Does anyone know where this image is from? I believe it's Steve and Anna Leigh checking into a Pit Stop from timestamp 00:01:02 in episode 1.
Maybe this could help determine if Germany is one episode or two.

Wow! I guess we know they make it to Slovenia  :hfive:

Well we knew Steve & Anna Leigh was eliminated in F4 Ireland leg so they're 100% made it to Slovenia. We could've been totally out of dark on 8th-5th place order had WRP restricted any form of social media activities on eliminated teams until the race was over.

If Socerb Castle is indeed the pit stop, I have to assume it's for Slovenia 2 for the same reason stunami mentioned: it's an hour away from Ljubljana in the opposite direction to the Planica Valley which held some of the tasks in Slovenia 1 (the cluster of dots in the middle are the known locations in Ljubljana, the train station, Dragon Bridge and Congress Square, all within 2km of each other):

(https://i.imgur.com/A8dzLzs.png)

While the Germany leg does have a lengthy self-driving component it's a fairly straight shot from Frankfurt to Rudesheim am Main to Cologne, rather than the doubling back that would potentially happen here. I suspect the Pit Stop for Slovenia 1 will be somewhere near the Nordic Centre, and the first clue for Slovenia 2 will send teams back to Ljubljana to the cluebox at Congress Square.

Germany should only be 1 episode.

Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: OMGitsGARRET on November 06, 2023, 06:31:38 PM
So it looks like the list of people doing the Roadblock involving coins and scaling the Rheinstein Castle are:
Andrea
Anna Leigh
Corey
Garrett
John
Morgan
Todd
The only team we don't see doing this task is Robbin/Chelsea.

The list of people doing the Roadblock involving the love locks at Hohenzollern Bridge are:
Ashlie
Greg
Lena
Rob
Robbin
Steve
The only two teams we don't see doing this task are Joel/Garret and Andrea/Malaina.

The list of teams doing the whacky costumes/fake horse riding task are:
Greg/John
Joel/Garrett
Morgan/Lena
Rob/Corey
Robbin/Chelsea
Steve/Anna Leigh
Todd/Ashlie
The only team we don't see doing this task is Andrea/Malaina.

The list of teams doing the mustard task are:
Morgan/Lena
Robbin/Chelsea
Steve/Anna Leigh
Todd/Ashlie

The list of teams doing the ball kicking task are:
Rob/Corey
Todd/Ashlie

The only three teams we see doing neither the mustard/ball kicking task are:
Andrea/Malaina
Greg/John
Joel/Garrett

From this, I infer a few things:

1) This leg looks to be something like: Airport > Castle Roadblock > Whacky Costumes/Fake Horseriding Active Route Info > Mustard/Ball Kicking Detour > Lovelocks Roadblock > Pit Stop.

2) If the Detour is in fact the mustard/ball kicking task, it looks like Todd and Ashlie switch at some point since they're seen performing both tasks.

3) It looks like Germany is also in fact just one single episode/one single leg. A very long leg, but just one. So this season is probably only 12 episodes, unless Sweden had an extra F5 KOR leg or something.

4) I'm worried this might be an obvious elimination of Andrea and Malaina falling out of the running very quickly with no tension of them catching up. The only content from them we have is them driving and Andrea doing the initial castle Roadblock. After that they have absolutely nothing where the other teams all have at least a few other things. Not looking good for them, sadly. :'(

Post by: cole1024 on November 06, 2023, 06:50:46 PM
So it sounds like production banked on having enough content due to there being so many teams for the first several legs, but from now onwards we will be seeing more tasks every leg. Seeing those first few legs with only a roadblock/detour made me nervous
Title: Re: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!
Post by: Neobie on November 06, 2023, 09:21:32 PM
Great analysis OMGitsGARRET!

Both the mustard and football tasks are within 200m of the Pit Stop, so I'm thinking those would come at the end of the leg instead.

Teams get their medals at the costume/horse task (see Joel/Garrett's press photo), and we see teams wearing their medals at both the bridge and Detour options, so agree that this would be the first task in Cologne.

Joel & Garrett are definitely winning. There was no reason for them to include the notebook scene last ep unless it mattered since it was resolved so quickly and had no impact on the actual leg (unlike the fanny pack in ep 2) I'd say they win out on the memory task. If Phil mentions this on the Previously On next week i'd say it's near 100%

I don't see any storyline from Rob & Corey so they are 3rd.

In terms of Winner's edit, I think it's Joel & Garrett. The fact that they highlighted the notebook last leg and if i remember correctly, one of their confessionals in 2nd India Leg, they said they wanted to get rid of Steve & Anna Leigh before going to the end.

Yeah, I have a feeling we're getting set up for Joel & Garrett to be the new Josh & Brent. The notebook scene last week was such an insignificant thing to include that it's almost like their Chekhov's Gun (which means in storytelling, any plot element introduced must come into play by the third act... in this case, a final memory challenge)

Let's keep our political opinions to a minimum.

Anna Leigh already used all of her RB and they have no choice but to let Steve do the RB. Maybe this is the reason why they lost. Poor Steve.

edit feels like it's setting up a Joel & Garrett and Greg & John final 2 with Joel & Garrett winning... I think Rob & Corey are 3rd now but i hope they get a win next leg

Steve and Anna Leigh look to have a bad leg next week based on the preview and it seems that Rob and Corey are starting to run out of gas.

I would really hope that editing alone does not give away the winners. If we can guess who is going to win several episodes in advance then what’s the point of watching.

This is a terrible take. If you rewatch an old season, you know who is winning but you still watch it because the journey of getting there is exciting. You have spoiled yourself on the entire season, and yet you still watch. Why? Because it's entertaining.

I'm guessing Joel and Garret wins with a 3-leg win streak while Greg and John get three 2nd place finishes and Rob and Corey get three 3rd place finishes to end the season.

This literally has happened for 35 seasons + 45 survivor seasons + a bunch of other reality shows. The winners edit is a known thing.

OMG the scramble twist for the finale!!
This changes everything and is actually smart for them to not have spoilers on the finale leg!

So is it like a hybrid-leg? Space needle then 3 tasks to do in any order via scramble then get on the plane to wherever and the final task/finish line?

From the press photos, it looks like the final memory task of placing Roadblock prompts and Detour choices on kayaks is at the Kenmore Air base in Kenmore, not the Lake Union base as we previously thought.

Interesting tho, after finishing the final memory task, they didn't directly go to the finish line but rather went to the West Point Lighthouse for final ARI. any potential task there or it is just like TAR 12/TAR 13 style to give a chance to racers to catch up/get lost?

How close is it to the finish line? It might just be they were told to park there and make their way on foot the rest of the way

The lighthouse is about 20 miles to the finish line - a 7 hr walk  :funny:

FYI:
The distance from the memory challenge to the finish line is about 14 miles.
The distance from the memory challenge to the lighthouse is also about 15 miles but in the other direction.

This would be called The Amazing Race: The Americas Edition. By the way, we still haven't identified the maroon team after all these years.  :groan:

this thread is for season 35 (originally filmed as 36 but aired last Oct/Nov/Dec 2023). Your question should be under season 36 (which was originally filmed as 35 in Fall 2022).

Yes. it is confusing.

Half the maroon team has been identified. I'll wait till the offical promos on the teams come out.

It's quite odd that the team that managed to reach the final 3 got eliminated so early, in just the fourth episode.
