Topic: TAR 31: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!

[Mhillstrom]

In my opinion Britney and Janelle's pic is clearly taken in the airport on the way to plane. That's why Brit has her passport in her hands.

Agreed, they could have been boarding the plane to Switz or de-boarding in Switz!  My bet is on de-boarding because they had their passports ready. If they were boarding, chances are they would have already put them away by the time they boarded.

I’m excited since this may be the first self driving leg.

Dubai leg S28 was self driving leg. This season could be the same

Did anyone hear anything about bungee jumping? I know another place that was saying they know they are going to bungee jump, but how do they know this?

This is the company who is rumoured to be organizing the bungee jump/zip line experience. This IG post was from 5 days ago. https://instagram.com/p/BkN8EPIBtph/

Bungee jump is kinda bored to me. I want more tasks realting to the location that they’re in

[Headhunter]

Why wouldn’t production let Rachel take a picture? Perhaps because she had been eliminated and production was afraid she would let that information slip if she interacted with a fan?

[Kamineko]

It's unusual that they're are staying in Africa only for one leg.

Is it possible that they'll come back to Africa again for later leg(s) like back in S30, maybe for penultimate leg? We haven't seen it anyway... A penultimate leg in South Africa sounds legit for me.

[Joberio]

It's unusual that they're are staying in Africa only for one leg.

Unusual, yes, but it has been done.  Remember TAR16's visit to the Seychelles?  Only one leg, and then, off to Asia.

We're kinda thinking something like this instead of bungee:

Elissa was spotted on a train in Switzerland with Becca which means Rachel and Elissa are still racing.

Season 6 also had two one leg visits to African countries (Senegal and Ethiopia), so it's not unprecedented.

Isn't that Christie in the photo?

But I don't see where it said they were preparing for TAR? Am I blind? LOL

Oh you're right! UGH! I always get them confused, I don't know why! LOL

No they wouldn’t advertise it. I don’t know if it’s speculation but a private twitter account posted the company and used TAR as a hashtag

[Mhillstrom]

Guess who else is in Grindelwald, Switzerland??  Johnny Depp! He is filming a movie!  Wouldn't be something if he was a Mat Greeter?

They'd be contractually not allowed to advertise it. I'm sure companies sign NDAs when they allow the race to work with them, so it's highly unlikely. Maybe after the episode airs, then they'd get the liberty to brag.

Do we reckon it's just Grindelwald. I reckon we'll see the Eiger or Jungfrau. Maybe Interlaken?

Well, Switzerland has numerous adrenaline entertainment companies. Bungee adventures are one of their specialties due to the region's immense valleys and ridges. Plus, I backpacked in Grindelwald just last summer and it's breathtakingly beautiful this time of year! Great time to go adventure-spotting and it's a nice change from the snow-covered resort legs we last saw in 22 and Chamonix, France in 28! Hope we unearth more photos from this leg because I'm travel-geeking to the max. (Praying they take a train to Milan afterward .)

Firstbahn sounds like a very possible venue for the summertime conditions. They offer different slightly eye-catching activities during this time of year like mountain carting, the highly promoted "First gliding" from the tourism website which tandems a giant eagle contraption above the clients' ziplining harnesses, and biking up and down the rugged terrain is always a distinct possibility anywhere within Jungfrau in warmer daytime conditions.

We may get to experience Interlaken momentarily as there is a mandatory disembarkment between there and the train service to Grindelwald.

I just have a hard time believing that all these teams are still all in this far into filming. To me, Janelle and Britney’s picture seems off with timing and production stopping the guy from taking a picture of Rachel and Elissa is strange since he had pictures of everyone else. Something is up. We are 14 days in and have 3, maybe 4 teams out?

It seems on track and plausible to me. During TAR28, we had the same number of teams who had been eliminated by the time leg 7 began. Four teams out - seven teams still in.

[stunami]

Well we know for 100% that we have 8 teams in Uganda... so we can't have 3 teams eliminated in 2 days. I think Leo/Jamal are out, and maybe Rachel/Elissa also. Unless that picture of Janelle and Britney are of them going to sequester but I doubt producers would allowed them to be taken in picture

[Kamineko]

I don't really get the thing with we cannot take photos of teams going to sequester. What I know is, we usually cannot take photos of teams in secret. Well, that's what I know based on what I experienced when taking pictures of teams back in S19 when they went to Jakarta.

[rainbowkitten]

I think the thing is that you can't control who takes photos of teams in a race environment. If you're in the Switzerland airport and someone wants a photo with you, you can't control that since you're juggling 6 or 7 teams and can't police them all. Plus, all it does is prove they're still in and that's not a huge deal. With sequester, it's one team going one way and would absolutely spoil their elimination since they're going to a place different from the rest. You can easily control that and keep them in secret.
