It's a White Stripes song. Singer Jack White is from Detroit.

There were like hundreds of drummers there. I wonder if the teams had to find something among them.

Apparently not. The news article said less than a hundred?

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate how great of a moment it was when colin and christie came back out on nowhere a couple days ago. That was awesome

As far as Leo and Jamal being so far behind the other 2 teams, I'm wondering if Leo couldn't/wouldn't finish the rappelling and they ended up taking a penalty. On the last leg though, it seems unlikely you would put yourself in that big a hole and hope you can make that up later. I'm not sure how they would handle a penalty too. I think they would want to avoid a team arriving at the finish line and having to wait out a penalty, so maybe they assess it on the spot? I

I was thinking about that earlier. My guess is it’s going to be something Like season 26. While rappelling find your next location, they think they know where to go, go to the wrong place, then have to go back and do it again.

That would make sense

I really doubt that Leo & Jamal took penalty, especially in the finale. They don't look like one who's bad at physical challenge, except if Leo had some kind of injury that made him took penalty.

But about taking penalty in the finale, it had happened before in TAR Asia when Hussein took a penalty in the Roadblock (the task was tightrope walking in Marina Bay Sands similar to Singapore leg in Season 25), and they had to wait for 4 hours at the Roadblock location.

Here's another tweet from the Detroit Free Press showing the musicians setting up at Hart Plaza. The tweet is Pacific Daylight Time, so the tweets were 3 hours later than shown.

It's a guitar army at Detroit's Hart Plaza as musicians gather for a mass performance of White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," filming for "Amazing Race."

Does someone know what's the relation between the song Seven Nation Army with the race or with Detroit? I don't really familiar with that song...

I wonder why afghanimals were at the guardian building for two hours.

Of all people, Leo couldnt rappel down a building? Maybe there was a task up there that made leo struggle?

Sigh, it's hard to believe you never heard of such a famous song like Seven Nation Army.  You'll hear it in any soccer game or high school band practice.

There was that photo of C/C & T/K at Heathrow with a fan. Where was L/J? Perhaps they either tried to get creative booking a different flight and it got delayed....or they ended up going to the wrong airport.  Maybe they were taken to LCY by mistake.

No they were all on the same flight. Arrived at the same time in Detroit.

Leo and Jamal screwed up at the Guardian Building. They were there for 2 hours.

They have worked with Leo so long..They know his weakness...I can't believe that repelling is hard as for him to spend 2hours there...its like opening a clue for 2hours...they know his eye sight ain't good, so that tar26 challenge would hurt them if they made the wrong decision..

Well if that was a roadblock, it is their own fault because they could have elected Jamal to do that

Though i am not convinced for Leo having an eye problem. Production will never prohitbit a certain member to perform a roadblock unless an obvious handicap (e.g. Luke for sound challenge)

Penalty in the final and serve at finish line happened once in TAR Vietnam season 2 and that team lost. But I don't think there is a case in TARUS.
