This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.
This is where ALL the spoiler discussion of the TAR 38 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.
As always, per RFF's practices, we do not a future location 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 occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand, we would love to know, so please PM or email RealityFreakWill, Leafsfan, Xoruz, or a detective. Spoilers are treasured!

Summary: Early morning start in LA, flew on Delta, currently in Detroit on a layover, likely heading east.
-
This was posted to the TAR reddit on March 10. Considering they are flying Delta, it is likely though not confirmed yet that they are going to the birthplace of Big Brother: The Netherlands.
-
Looks like they are indeed going to the Netherlands, specifically Hoorn.
Fitting to start the race where Big Brother was born.
-
According to that article that Xoruz posted in the Live Sightings thread, it reads to me like that the Starting Line is going to be in the city center of Hoorn? ???

Anything is possible, but don't think the SL will be in Hoorn

Might just be a mistranslation from Google of "starting shot" instead of "starting shoot".

Since teams are via Degroot there is a Detroit flight that lands at Amsterdam at 5:46am Amsterdam time. So keep an eye open for sightings around then! So around 11pm Pacific time
-
I don't remember if we are allowed to speculate potential locations later in the season (in case it's a security issue). If we are allowed, I have a suspicion based off the first location (no actual evidence)

Are we sure that they weren't already there, since Phil was there?

Phil usually arrives ahead of the teams to do his standups. Not surprised if Phil arrived at 5:50am, and the teams arrived on either/both the 8:10am and 10:20am arrival flights.

Pure speculation can be posted. Evidence of a future leg has to wait. You’re good.

I mean, TAR U.S. had non-U.S. starting lines in TAR34 and TAR36. It's not particularly uncommon for seasons filmed in the last 4 years.

I'd count 33 with that if we count the re-start. The one thing these seasons had in common though, is that they were all covid restriction seasons, which is why I'm confused about this season, but....yeah....surely there's a reason this time around but who the heck knows. Notably, 35 (filmed as 36) and 37 had US Starting lines, both seasons filmed after covid restrctions were lifted.
-
It could have something to do with the Netherlands being the birthplace of Big Brother, so it may have special significance

Makes sense. Kinda bummed that it takes away the first and second flight business but so goes life.
-
I also could picture TAR doing an homage to Big Brother at the start and filming the teams get "keys" (or tickets) to the race which would be why there's no starting line in the US

They “find” a clue in their home that tells them to go to the Netherlands.

One Redditor in that thread claims to have seen a "slender black woman with braids and a red bandana" and seems to think it was Chelsie, despite initially confusing her partner for a white/Latino man.

Imagine if Jun is the greeter if they go to Belgium.

Not sure how trains in Europe work, but if they wanted to connect somewhere, would that be a possibility? Say if they wanted to go to Denmark or Luxembourg or something like that, they could connect somewhere else and then head to wherever?

Yes- like connecting via Hamburg in TAR19

A lot of people today have been predicting Enzo's team for first boot, so it'll be hilarious if that's the case.

Luxembourg is a quick train ride away! A country that hasn't been visited by TAR before.
Frankfurt a major city that hasn't been visited either!

It sounds like it's more or less confirmed now, thanks to Discord.
https://discord.com/invite/XBEwUbRq
On this app, everyone is chatting about real-time spoilers with pics.
Leg two finished today.
Turner & Megan, Tucker & Eric, Kat & Alex, and Angela & Lexi were never seen (as they were likely at the front of the pack).
Izzy & Paige, Rubina & Kristine, Chelsie & Jack, and Hannah & Simone were all seen running to the Pit Stop.
Natalie & Stephanie, Jag & Jas, and Joseph & Adam were seen at the Detour.
Kyland & Taylor were seen at the Detour three to four hours after the other teams were seen . . . and the Pit Stop vanished for good soon after they arrived. They were eliminated, most likely, and since I'm a fan of Taylor, I'm sad.
But this confirms that a men's team did go home first. And it sounds like it was Enzo & Giacomo, since the other men's teams have evidence of being seen in Prague.
Shocking that two legs in, all five women's teams are still intact! Go,TAR38!
-
Lots of people are looking at webcams to potentially see sightings of TAR racers. Here are some webcam tips.
1) If there has been a location mentioned - see if there is a webcam nearby
2) Occasionally watch that webcam - even if it is the next day because you never know what has happened
3) Know your time zones
USA - Eastern - Central - Mountain - Pacific
Europe - Western - Central - Eastern - Belarus & Western Russia
4) If you see Phil - KEEP WATCHING!! :)x
HTH

Grain of salt as there are no pics.

I was in #prague today for #tar38 I am a superfan
Angela & Lexi were first to the Roadblock, spotted running ahead of other teams near the Charles Bridge.
There’s a challenge involving colors, possibly inspired by Prague’s vibrant street art or a puzzle with colorful glass
Double U-Turn drama! Izzy & Paige U-Turned Chelsie & her dad, while Natalie & her sister U-Turned Kyland & Taylor
Megan & Turner were spotted checking in first at what looked like a Pit Stop location.
Rumored elimination: Kyland & Taylor were missing at the end
Interesting. This, plus the info of them winning the first leg, tells me that Turner & Megan are going to be our early dominators.
-

His Cameo is back up and running.

Yep. He's gone, then.
-
The hardcore Big Brother fans can be a fickle bunch to deal with. I'm sure some here still remember well trying to track Season 30, when pretty much every leg had the Jess and Cody Stans arguing like "No, you're wrong! They're in first!"
I dread a messy time again now that we've got a whole cast of them :/
-
I think its pretty safe to say than Enzo and Giacomo go home first episode and Taylor and Kyland the second episode.
Its possible another team goes home first episode as well though (in which case it would Megan/Turner, Tucker/Eric, or Angela/Lexi).
-
Honestly, NOT saying this spoilers are correct but I'm wondering if Taylor and Kyland possibly finish first in leg 1 (win the express pass). Eric and Tucker got 11, Turner and Megan got 12th, Angela and Lexi in 13th, and Enzo and Giacomo in last.
Than they have to take a train to the next location. Taylor and Kyland on the first train, the other 9 teams on the second train, and Eric and Tucker, Turner and Megan and Angela and Lexi on a third train. However, the first train gets REALLY delayed and the second train a bit delayed. Hence, the placements for the second leg are flipped.
Although there's also the rumor that Turner and Megan finish in first in both the first 2 legs and it seems improbable two trains would be delayed.
-
Hopefully we get sightings in the next episode which will help clear up confusion

Shocking that two legs in, all five women's teams are still intact! Go,TAR38!
You spoke too soon 😭 RIP Angela, the most entertaining team is out already:(

That one came through at a suspicious time. We're waiting on the next leg to see what's really what.
-
Angela has been active on social media and her daughter started following fellow racers...so it seems pretty confirmed now.
-
Oh no!!!
So right now its Enzo and Giacomo as first boot and Angela and Lexi as second boot.
At least they outlasted one team, honestly that's all I was realistically hoping for from them. I thought AT MOST they'd make it to leg 3 so leg 2 isn't bad.
-
From Vevmo, apparently there were 3 trains in leg 2:
Train 1: Jag/Jas, Natalie/Stephanie, Joseph/Adam
Train 2: Tucker/Eric, Hannah/Simone, Chelsie/Jack, Izzy/Paige, Rubina/Kristine
Train 3: Taylor/Kyland, Kat/Alex, Turner/Megan, Angela/Lexi
These were the final placements:
1. Jag/Jas
2. Natalie/Stephanie
3. Joseph/Adam
4. Tucker/Eric
5. Hannah/Simone
6. Chelsie/Jack
7. Izzy/Paige
8. Rubina/Kristine
9. Taylor/Kyland
10. Kat/Alex
11. Turner/Megan
12. Angela/Lexi- eliminated
Like I said, I'm just thrilled that Angela and Lexi survived one leg, I knew that three legs would be their max.
-
Per TAR hub discord, leg 3 is in the Czech countryside, with teams spotted in Kutna Hora and Nove Dvory
-
Glad they're finally getting out of the city this time. The first two visits to the country only went to Prague, and the second one even had a Switchback.
-
Very much hate the large time gap in teams going into this leg since they’re staying in the same area. Hope they have some sort of equalizer so the bottom teams aren’t just doomed from a train time

No clue what you meant, there was clear confirmation out there when I made that comment.
Angela & Lexi had been overheard saying they had been eliminated in a post-leg interview.

What's Vevmo?
This information was posted directly to TAR Hub on Discord by oxygengiver2000. Proper credit where credit is due, guys, it's been Peach's MO for years here.
Oxygen spent the full day tracking the teams in Prague from before the start of the leg, walking around Prague to find the parked cars for this self-driving leg. He passed out due to only getting 2 hours of sleep in 2 nights and didn't get to follow the teams to the pit stop to confirm a boot order.
There's a lot of info that was provided by him, alongside an overall well-written story of his sleuthing, which you guys can easily access on the TAR Hub. I'm not sure if I should repost it here.
Anyhow, this leg looks AMAZING. I love the staggered departure times coupled with a self-driving leg. There will be room to catch up, no doubt. This leg gives me an old school TAR vibe!

Teams are seen on Budapest, Hungary! :cheer:

There's an overnight train via Kolín to Budapest. Wonder if they took that.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

Then there was no elimination between Kat & Alex and going to Croatia. There was instead the fifth one on this new leg.
Just a matter of, again, waiting to see who goes active online soon.

The Hub's awfully quiet. No news after the Croatia leg?

Or, if there are sightings on social media, it's not being found because of any language barrier.

33 was the only one-continent race.

How ironic the leg prize on TAR37 last night was a trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia and Kotor, Montenegro. Was that a hint? :funny:
-
Found this Croatian article from February that an American reality show would be filming in Dubrovnik at the end of March. The writer claims that it was for The Bachelorette, but ABC put that show on pause. Wondering if this is when TAR booked the city.

-
my money is on Kotor!
-
Still no social media activity from TAR contestants.
-
my money is on Kotor!
I don’t think so, since Kotor and Dubrovnik are pretty similar, I would rather save Kotor for another season. I think it’s not Podgorica also, yeah it’s the capital but not a historical or tourist location. If the weather was better Mostar would have been a great location and a new county. My money is that they are rn in Zagreb waiting for a connection flight for leg 6.
-
I wonder if there aren’t many equalizers this season. Seems like the same teams have always been ahead of at the bottom of the pack from the sightings we’ve gotten.

To be fair, they went to countries that haven’t been visited in a while. The Netherlands and Croatia were last visited in TAR 31, the Czech Republic in TAR 30, and Hungary hasn’t been visited since TAR 6.
-
If the TAR Discord Hub is accurate (but it might just be speculating), Montenegro was the next country, after all.
. . . And it looks like Rubina & Kristine might've been tossed.
But there's nothing to prove them or Hannah & Simone being out, so until then, I'm just assuming that it's spit-balling for now.
-
After watching the latest ep of 37 where the prize was a trip to Dubrovnik and a day trip to Montenegro, it sounds like Montenegro is very likely unless if they can’t retrieve any filming rights. New country :conf:
-
Apparently Rubina and Kristine started following racers on IG so pretty safe to say they're out.
Seven teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
-
Wondering if the massive earthquake in Asia is going to affect potential plans. Affecting Thailand and Vietnam, which are both TAR favorites.
-
Potentially six legs in Europe is not making me feel great about getting another continent besides Asia this season again.
-
I'd be surprised if Chelsie and Jack or Izzy and Paige won. It seems like Jag and Jas, Joseph and Adam, Tucker and Eric, and Natalie and Stephanie have consistently been finishing towards the front. Taylor and Kyland have kind of been all over the place but could pull out an upset and win.
My guess is one of those five teams win.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
I'm thinking this may have been a "double-length/you're still racing" leg
-
Still nothing? Feel like its been a while
-
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?!?!?!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Is this whole season in Europe?
-
Is this whole season in Europe?
So far, yes.
-

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.
-
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.
-
Joseph and Adam are rumored to be eliminated last.
Five teams remain.
-
Did Leg 9 happen?
-
Joseph and Adam are rumored to be eliminated last.

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

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

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I don't buy that. Didn't we already have that leg in Romania? Too many teams left to have a second one.
-
With Athens i was wondering if there, could be a Sentorini Sighting. Its there 4th times going to Grece, and they have not been to any of the islands yet.
-
Its been reported one of the task sites in Greece has six "booths" so that means Joseph and Adam were likely saved by NEL or KOR leg.
-
Was there even a leg nine? Was Athens leg ten? Or was it actually leg nine, with an extended rest beforehand?
-
At this point we believe Athens is leg 9
-
is leg 6 still speculated to be Montenegro?
-
is leg 6 still speculated to be Montenegro?
It is still speculation at this point, but we think so. There is a video of Jag and Jas opening their clue at the leg 6 pit start in Dubrovnik and while it is hard to make out specifics, some can hear them say "Podgorica"
-
Italy should have been leg 10? If there's one more country, either France or UK are the logical choices for easy connection back to the States.
UK preferably since France is way overvisited :P

I think the fact that teams flew to Romania from Split may change this- it's likely that teams headed north from Dubrovnik, even if not all the way to Split. It would be odd to fly from Split if teams went all the way to Podgorica or even Kotor.
Personally hoping for Mostar over a second Croatia leg (though visits to Ston or Hvar would be nice if we had to stay in Croatia).
-
Due to social media return, we have a confirmed Jack and Chelsie elimination in Italy
-
Due to social media return, we have a confirmed Jack and Chelsie elimination in Italy
Then the F4 is:
Izzy & Paige
Jag & Jas
Joseph & Adam
Kyland & Taylor
BB26 is all out, then. But Chelsie & Jack can be happy that they're the highest-finishing black parent/child team and fifth-highest-finishing father/daughter team (after Ronald & Christina, Gary & Mallory, Arun & Natalia, and Steve & Anna Leigh).
-
Interesting note - Celebrity Big Brother UK starts tonight. Although I highly doubt a crossover would happen, it would be quite nice to see some sort of interaction between the two.
-
Fingers crossed Izzy & Paige made final 3, then. That chance at a FF winner is always nice.

I prayed multiple times last night before I went to bed for this to happen. Please, please, please!
-
1. Jag and Jas
2. Taylor and Kyland
3. Joseph and Adam
4. Izzy and Paige- likely eliminated
The finish order of this last leg.
I think I may be rooting for Joseph and Adam tbh as it seems like they've been kind of underdogs these last few legs. Of course though I love both Taylor and Kyland.
I think Tucker and Eric is probably the biggest "shock" boot of this season, Natalie and Stephanie were also it seemed like towards the front of the pack also before being eliminated. Although I am surprised that Turner and Megan weren't better racers than they ended up being.
-
IDK about Joseph and Adam but I think that Taylor and Kyland and Jag and Jas I would've predicted as two of the final 3 teams pre-season for sure.
Honestly, I may have guessed Turner and Megan as the third, like I said, very surprised how poorly they performed.
Joseph and Adam aren't too shocking though.
-

So much for me joining the clergy.
Oh, look. Another two men's team and a coed team as the F3. How surprising. NOT.
-
For being probably the weakest team on paper pre-season with the exception of Angela and Lexi, pretty impressive how far Izzy and Paige made it ngl
-
Any ideas on where the finale might be?
-
I know we've bitched about this season, but we love the route.
-
The final three are all POC. I can't remember if we ever had this.
-
Someone on Discord claims that we’re getting a NYC finale.
-
Jag and Taylor both have the chance to be the first person to win two of the CBS Big Three.
-
We'll have at least one hot guy winning this season so that's a bright side
-
I know we've bitched about this season, but we love the route.
Who is we?
-
I know we've bitched about this season, but we love the route.

I know right?
-
I mean at this point, just have the final leg in London and have the finish line on the CBB UK house, dont need to even go to USA
-

The route is all Europe centric but I'm happy that a lot of undervisited countries like Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania are getting visited. Of course there's Netherlands, Italy, and France again. Bleh!
-

Am I the only one that would actually be all for this? :lol:

I was looking at TAR Discord and apparently teams took a charter flight from Budapest to Dubrovnik https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/KLJ2909/history/20250324/1002Z/LHBP/LDDU
-
Well, that's anti-climactic. Apparently the finale leg has already been run this morning and there were no sightings.
How were there no sightings in NYC?
-
We didnt even open a finale thread..One of these days we gotta have an open discussion as to why ,
-
Well, that's anti-climactic. Apparently the finale leg has already been run this morning and there were no sightings.
How were there no sightings in NYC?
And in a season with such high visibility as this cast. I'm as surprised as you are.

A Redditor claims that the 6th leg was another Croatian leg.

Maybe it was like 26 with the leg in coastal France/Monaco, and they "dipped their toe" into Montenegro for like one task.

Or Bosnia and Herzegovina if they drove towards Split.

So back-to-back seasons with a Finish Line at a Major League Baseball Stadium.
