Unaired Roadblocks in Early Seasons
« on: August 24, 2020, 01:56:26 PM »
As you most of you already know, tasks get regularly deleted from the show that don't affect the final placements in an episode. In the early years, Roadblocks were the common task that would go unaired, making it difficult to keep an accurate track, but fortunately, teams have slowly revealed them.

There are still a few unsolved mysteries and it would be helpful if anyone has answers to these:

Who from Matt & Ana completed the very first Roadblock (S1)?

If Michael & Kathy did the Roadblock on their elimination leg in Portugal (S3, E5)?

Who from Kami & Karli completed the Roadblock in Dubai (S5, E8 aka the infamous Colin meltdown)?

Who from the teams, David & Mary and Erwin & Godwin, completed the Roadblock in Mauritius (S10, E7)?

In the first leg in Poland for the real All-Stars (E7), still unknown for Joe & Bill and Uchenna & Joyce, who completed the Roadblock?

I don't think that will help that much, because we don't have the full details on some of the unaired Roadblocks (TAR 10 Mauritius, and TAR 11 Poland I) I checked the specific legs on there which have the Roadblocks unaired, and some of them don't say which team member did the Roadblock (only the ones who have confirmed it are shown).

Everything TheBayAreaGuy asked are questions I also ask, and thereby don't have on my statistics. We also don't know who of Pat & Brenda completed the first Roadblock. Plus, there's a number of other unknown stuff from all across the show that drives me nuts, like for example which Detour did Steve & Dave complete in Austria? Beethoven or Mozart? Two teams were not shown completing the Namibia Detour in Season 2.

At this point, the only answers to these questions would have to come from the racers themselves.

Though, I'm interested in your comments about Poland in All Stars... Did we at some point confirm who did that Roadblock out of Dustin & Kandice and Oswald & Danny? I don't have info for those yet.

Pat said that she did the Roadblock.

I should have the sort of information on contemporaneous notes I kept going back to season 3. Those notes are buried in my archived files from that era.

As to the season 1 questions you could reach out to the Guidos or even Brennan on social media. IIRC, when Bravo shut down TWoP they kept the recaps, written by Miss AllI in the early seasons. She sometimes picked up on such details generally as well.

If someone will make a SEASON by SEASON list of what's needed
And specify TEAMS/LEGS/TASKs in that order I will be glad to ask any racers I know.
G.B.? Or BayArea GUY?

Is there footage of the TARS01E01 Roadblock anywhere online? I know that it was released on DVD but I've never seen any footage of it online before and I've always wanted to see it. Does anyone have a link to it? Or could possibly even upload it somewhere themselves?

Made the list a little prettier and updated it through TAR31. The questions in Bold are the important questions. Everything else is just my perfectionist brain wanting to complete all of my clue-by-clue leaderboards fully.

TAR19
Leg 9:
   What was the Detour option that no-one chose, and was not described on-air, and what was the name of it?

I don't have a source for this, but I thought I read somewhere the unaired Detour was the Tintin task that was done at the start of Leg 11 because they needed to include the task for product placement for a movie.

I know it was posted online somewhere in the past after the DVD for that first season was released. I think your best bet is to use a search engine to look for it. The task took place close to the first pit stop of that first ever leg, Songwe Village.

That's exactly what I did. Look at the Spoiler in my last post.

My interview with Shane & Andrew will be uploaded within the next few days, and they confirmed -six- unaired tasks from TAR Australia 2.
I have been to 63 countries. I have met Phil Keoghan, Jon Montgomery, Allan Wu, Elise and Bertram in person. I visited Joe & Bill in Hawaii, JK & Mike in Singapore, and Rovilson in Manila. I attended the TAR 28, 29, and 34 finales.
