Title: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BourkieBoy on September 08, 2025, 07:15:05 AM: Because we know we're going to need this! :lol: :funny:

Post by: Xoruz on September 23, 2025, 02:00:14 PM: Finally a revisit to Canada after 11 seasons of TAR Canada and a visit by TAR AU. Not to mention the first full Canadian leg by TAR US.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Joberio on September 23, 2025, 03:54:54 PM: Glad to see a Canada revisit -- the first since TAR8/Family Edition, in fact -- but seriously? Why another out-of-country starting line? Just start in the U.S., as usual!
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BourkieBoy on September 23, 2025, 04:15:12 PM: And we are back racing! Thanks to the Detective Team for bringing us great sightings and information right off the bat! :conf: :cheer:

Very excited to see Vancouver visited on the US version! Not only is this a new city for the franchise, but Canada hasn't been visited by the US version since Season 8, so it's about time we got a re-visit!

I don't mind the Starting Line taking place outside of the US (maybe I'm just used to the Australian version always having the Starting Line in the country of it's first leg :lol: :funny:)

Apart from the former professional soccer players, it's looks like we have a cast of ordinary people doing extraordinary things! Hopefully this means we get a "normal" season! (whatever that is these days)

Looking forward to a (hopefully!) westward route!

Post by: TARstorian on September 23, 2025, 05:32:58 PM: As somebody who was born in/next to Vancouver, it's wild to think TAR US made it here after all these years.

My cousin who used to watch TAR religiously kept insisting for the past twenty years that TAR US had visited Vancouver. I kept having to tell her "lol no they haven't" and she said "I remember watching it on TV and there being a newspaper article about it!" (this was eight years before TAR Canada even started).

So twenty years later and now she can finally be right that, yes, TAR US has now been to Vancouver.

Also, as someone who flies in and out of Vancouver several times a year, and the airport I have to connect through whenever I go to Asia or come back home from Asia, I will be very very surprised if they don't immediately go to Asia from Vancouver. I have never personally flown from Vancouver to Europe--I always connect through Calgary (and that would be ridiculous to go back to Europe right away after 1.5 consecutive seasons of filming in Europe).

It would be hilarious if this season ends up being "Canadian Adventure" and they essentially copy Race Across The World's route, though.

Maybe they're trying to increase the country count? Maybe they have a lot back-to-back legs in the same country similar to TARAUS 2 and TAR35?

Post by: ye2000 on September 23, 2025, 08:05:12 PM: Is Australia still a possible destination based on this route? Oceania has long been missed but being an English speaking country and similar to the US and with Canada already visited, do you think they can head there from Vancouver?

Also what could’ve been better is that if the race had started in Seattle and Phil noted that all teams will be driving to their first destination.

Also can we expect a Jon cameo like an Allan cameo we had in TAR16?
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Joberio on September 25, 2025, 08:26:47 AM: Five women's teams cast this season, and it's sounding like they all survived leg one.

Hope that they all at least survive leg two, as well.

Post by: Joberio on September 25, 2025, 08:54:16 AM: Madrid, Spain! Wow! I know they've been to Spain before, but have they ever been to its capital?

That would explain the long silence. To have to fly all the way across Canada and then across the ocean to reach Europe? That would take over a day's worth of radio silence.

Is this leg two or three, though?

No, probably Leg 2.

Was not expecting Madrid. Not complaining as I have been wanting it for a while.

Post by: Maanca on September 25, 2025, 02:44:24 PM: Wow, was not expecting them to go eastward from Vancouver. No wonder we had 2 days of silence.

And yeah, first time in Spain they've been to the capital :D

Post by: BourkieBoy on September 25, 2025, 06:15:22 PM: As someone who has Spanish ancestry (via my great-grandmother), I'll never complain about seeing Spain! :conf: :cheer:

Also extremely excited to see Madrid for the first time on TAR US! :conf: :cheer:

I am a little bit worried about spending more of the Race in Europe however - after seeing it for 1.5 seasons, I think we'll be a bit Europed out after this leg, so I'm hoping that they make the jump to Africa - Spain is perfectly positioned for that jump!

First of all, as someone who grew up in Washington state and spent a lot of time in Vancouver, I am SO EXCITED to see it on the race.

I honestly feel like Spain will be a jumping-off point for Africa. After Madrid, they could very well head to the south of Spain, possibly even stop in Gibraltar, and then go to Morocco. From there we could get another African country or two. Then if I am dreaming we get Australia/NZ/South Pacific at the end of the season. Realistically it would be South America, Asia, or even back to Europe.

Post by: Avid on September 26, 2025, 04:53:43 PM: It would be weird to go to Madrid and not visit real or athletic madrid.Madrid is such a football country.Atleast have a soccer player do something with those soccer cast members.

I guess the contestants are thinking what am thinking .

Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BourkieBoy on September 27, 2025, 06:05:12 PM: We're off to Morocco! It's going to be great to see Africa for the first time since Season 31! :conf: :cheer:

I sort of called that they'd go to Africa after visiting Spain a couple of days ago - just call me Nostradamus! :funny: :lol:

Maybe that theory about only visiting countries that are going to host upcoming FIFA World Cups is actually right... I mean, this season is due to air in 2026, which is a World Cup year...
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Maanca on September 30, 2025, 08:01:55 PM: Albania! Nice to see a new area of the Mediterranean. I know someone originally from there, not much about the country itself, but it looks beautiful from what I've seen of their photos.

This route's really shaping up so far. Looks like they didn't want to waste their good destinations on the Big Brother cast :funny:
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BritishTARFan on September 30, 2025, 10:02:57 PM: Was in Albania this summer! such a great country. Hopefully they go down south to Himare, Gjirokaster, Sarande etc (all lovely places) or perhaps cross into Lake Ohrid in Macedonia! also gorgeous there.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Xoruz on September 30, 2025, 10:21:37 PM: Albania has been high on my list of potential new countries, so this news excites me.

Post by: sveped on October 01, 2025, 04:38:01 AM: Albania :woohoo: :cheer:

So awesome that they went to Albania! It's such a beautiful country, with a unique culture and language.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BourkieBoy on October 01, 2025, 05:50:03 AM: So excited to see Albania! Not only has any TAR version never been there before, but we are sticking to our plan of a new country being visited every season in TAR US recently! :conf: :cheer:

I’m very interested in Albania as a country (my local pizza man is originally from there :lol: :funny:), so I’m excited to see how the leg plans out. Hopefully TAR does it justice!

There’s goes our theory of TAR39 only visiting countries that are due to host future World Cups. Maybe TAR39 won’t be styled The Amazing Race: World Cup Special after all :lol: :funny:

Post by: Brannockdevice on October 01, 2025, 10:39:04 AM: Everyone here is under the assumption that Americans actually care about soccer, let alone the World Cup - no such pattern is happening so far, pure coincidence.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Maanca on October 01, 2025, 05:55:57 PM: The only thing I noticed so far is all the flags are predominantly red 😅

I've always thought Albania's flag looked cool and kinda scary - a black two-headed eagle on red.

I'm aware theyre probably not gonna visit another African country for this season, so im hoping for them to visit another undervisited countries like Turkiye, South Korea, or Malaysia/Singapore for finale hub instead went back to UAE/Thailand/Vietnam

I'm so excited for this new season, especially after that meh S38 route :cheer: :conf:

I mean if this route starts in Europe and if they visit Asia, they tend to visit UAE, Thailand or Vietnam and used those countries as a hub for direct flight back to US. So im hoping they would instead visit South Korea, or Malaysia/Singapore before they flight back to US

maybe they can finally go to Ella! or go up north to Anuradhapura & a Sigiriya revisit!

Post by: florida on October 07, 2025, 01:58:42 PM: I am thrilled to see a proper Canadian leg WITH a Pit Stop!

It also makes sense why they skipped Albania for Tar 38, so they could use it this season.

Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Xoruz on October 10, 2025, 09:25:26 AM: I would not have guessed Laos preseason; let alone a new city like Vientiane. Depending on where they go in the last couple of legs, this could be in conversation with one of the better route.

Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: TheRabbi on October 10, 2025, 12:44:35 PM: Great to see Laos again. I wonder if they will continue to head eastward and have a leg in China/Japan/South Korea before heading to the US, or if they'll head south and hit Australia/NZ.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: ghmorello on October 10, 2025, 03:01:58 PM: If the red flag route remains true, I can see them go to China, New Zealand, or Peru next and do a semifinal leg in Mexico or Puerto Rico.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: BourkieBoy on October 10, 2025, 04:30:45 PM: Oh wow! We get to see Laos for only the second time in 39 seasons and Vientiane for the first time? This is so exciting, Laos is an undiscovered and underrated awesome country! :conf: :cheer:

This route seriously is getting better by the minute - hopefully the remaining three/four legs are just as good! :conf: :cheer: :woohoo:

I'm also in shock that both parent/child teams have stuck it out this long! They're usually easy fodder!

There are some tasks from s.5 like fire blowing. ,feeling up sand using wheel barrows ,so that a partner tilts the other way ..so many great tasks from tar austtalia ,that they could chose from...lets see what will make the cut .

I advocated for a canoe challenge for canada in the begiining and they did it .. :clap2:

Post by: Xoruz on October 13, 2025, 06:26:26 AM: I kid you not. I had a weird feeling that they might do Melbourne, and they’re actually doing it.

Also, first visit to Australia since 18, first visit to Oceania since 22, and first five continent route since 29.
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: theamazingracefans on October 13, 2025, 10:11:13 AM: This route is absolutely incredible, easily one of the best in recent seasons. I am already looking forward to Season 39! Given how amazing this route is, the production might even reveal the full lineup ahead of time to build hype and win back the audience, especially after the all-European route in Season 38. :cheer: :conf:
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Charity00 on October 13, 2025, 06:54:20 PM: I really hope they have a 2nd leg in Australia, maybe a more rural area like TAR2 Coober Pedy, TAR4 Cairns, TAR9 Darwin/Litchfield or TAR18 Broken Hill.

Phillip Island and Ballarat are close by. I think a self drive leg down the Great Ocean Road would be spectacular with maybe a surfing challenge at Torquay, or an Indigenous challenge in one of the national parks along the way and a pit stop at the 12 Apostles. Or go for the desert look and go all the way out to Alice Springs or Uluru? Maybe too hopeful but they’re easier to reach than Coober Pedy was?

There's a pic on Discord and CTS with Alejandro & Andrea, Conner & Garrett, Erin & Javier, and Daisha & Dalton all at the Pit Stop without them. They arrived just minutes later.

And of course, another alpha-male team goes predictably, annoyingly far. This is why a case can be made for a moratorium being put on their casting for at least three to five seasons. There've been streaks of seasons that've omitted them before, after all (seasons five through eight and seasons eleven through fourteen).

Very excited to find out if we stay in Melbourne (or Australia for that matter) for Leg 11!

In s.38 ,i said that if a mm is booted first,then a mm wins..we still dont know who won 38 ...thats y am not confident.

Thats why when, an mm was evicted first again in 39, i didnt say anything .

We used to suffer with the m/m boot curse. A m/m team would be eliminated and all the f/f teams would consecutively be eliminated in the legs that followed.

S.38 ,mm first boot ....
S.39 mm first boot.....
S.32 mm first boot...winner is .mm
S.37 mm first boot..winner is mm
S..22 mm first boot ..winner is mm
S.9 mm first boot , winner is mm

Crazy times..But most mm winners are not accompanied by this statistic.
I thought with many ffs and just 3 mm this season, this statistic would not be on the way AGAIN ...i thought they wouldnt even be top 4....

I just cannot believe today happened, that was I able to track down most of the locations and challenges and that not only TAR returned to Australia for the first time since Season 18, 15 years ago, but this show finally visited my city. I thought this day would never come and I'm still in a little bit of disbelief I think! :funny: :lol:

Very excited to find out if we stay in Melbourne (or Australia for that matter) for Leg 11!

So happy for you! It's a great feeling to be able to see them in action, and I'm glad you finally got your turn

Post by: BourkieBoy on October 15, 2025, 12:35:09 AM: If Christchurch is confirmed, this route just gets more exciting by the leg! :conf: :cheer:

It'll be great to see Phil's hometown again and to see another under-visited country in New Zealand! (First time since Season 22)

Post by: Xoruz on October 15, 2025, 10:26:16 PM: Well that was a crazy day. So happy that we got both Australia and New Zealand after so many years. Also since previous legs in Christchurch mostly focused on the surrounding Canterbury region, I like that we might be getting a mix of both this time.

Post by: Joberio on October 16, 2025, 12:15:16 AM: So this time, casting five women's teams paid off! First time we've gotten one into the F3 in FIVE SEASONS (with Emily & Molly being the last one to get there).
Title: Re: TAR 39 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS!)
Post by: Maanca on October 16, 2025, 12:53:34 AM: Ali & Joanna in the F3. We've got a chance at a FF winner for the first time in 5 seasons!

And they do appear like they'll be a strong contender.

Post by: BourkieBoy on October 16, 2025, 05:00:13 AM: It was excellent to see Christchurch confirmed! Another very undervisited city being used on the Race! :conf: :cheer:

I’ve just spoken to my cousin who lives in Christchurch. Unfortunately, as he was in school the whole day (his school is actually right near the speculated Pit Stop location!), he didn’t manage to see any teams, but it looks like the leg was well spoiled anyway!

Very excited to see our finale destination! Fingers and toes crossed that we don’t get LA!

This season's route is nothing short of incredible. Hopefully, the teams, tasks and editing is just as good, to give us one of the best TAR seasons ever!

Here's hoping The Road/America's Culinary Cup fails miserably and we get to see this sometime in April! :2hearts:

Leg 1 - Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
Leg 2 - Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸
Leg 3 - Marrakesh, Morocco 🇲🇦
Leg 4 - Marrakesh, Morocco 🇲🇦
Leg 5 - Tirana, Albania 🇦🇱
Leg 6 - Tirana, Albania 🇦🇱
Leg 7 - Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Leg 8 - Vientiane, Laos 🇱🇦
Leg 9 - Vang Vieng, Laos 🇱🇦
Leg 10 - Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
Leg 11 - Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿
Leg 12 - Honolulu, United States 🇺🇸

Dare I say, the best route of the 30s? Honolulu/Oahu is one of my all-time favorite places that I have visited. It's going to a great final location for this season.

Post by: Maanca on October 17, 2025, 07:02:59 PM: Easily. 32's route was notable for being the only season to visit a different country on every leg, but it's only 4 continents.

RFF doesn't normally reveal the finale finish order, if known.

I don't like that they have 2 legs in Marrakesh and 2 legs Tirana. And I was hoping for Boston as the final city. Besides that do i just love the route :cheer:
