The former's bottom-three placement in the premiere due to the botched FF is the outlier among two 2nds and four 1sts, yes. However, the Dave/Rachel mimickry - right down to having an average of 2.0 by the end of the tenth leg in India - is on the brink of collapsing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxLT4S0L6M

Agreed, which makes this improved version of S20's course a waste.

Would the mods mind deleting the post immediately before this one, seeing as it is quoting outdated information as a result of the source mistaking one team for another?

These finalists are the most unspoiled since UB/S19: Brenchel were photographed in Honolulu, the Chippies in NYC, Roller Derby in DC, and the entire F4s of the last two seasons at Narita-via-Manila/Lima; a sighting of ER Doctors and Boston Strong in Tokyo meant that at least one would race onto Juneau; and Miss Cleo told all about the unnameable season.

Kind of a copout based just on the gimmick: the route was easily the most expansive since S22 (and with more long-haul flights to boot) and the tasks progressed subtly from the easiest leg of all time (Nagano with a choice of "Noodles" for the Detour) to a grueling endgame in South America. In addition, it's the easiest season from which to distance oneself emotionally given the wholly non-family, often pseudo-couple cast (save a certain online fanbase that inexplicably got itself invested in the 3rd placers while simultaneously demonizing the winners beyond all proportion): that kind of light-heartedness is infinitely preferrable to actual toxic ordeals such as S4, S9, S16, and especially S20.

The F7* is all but confirmed to have overcome the double-leg in the Francophone Alps: Ashley/Burnie, Sheri/Cole, Matt/Dana, Blair/Scott, Zach/Rachel, Korey/Tyler, and Brodie/Kurt all got spotted in the Georgian capital. Therefore, the first NEL/TBC was on either Leg 1 or 3 in order to yield the following boot order: 11th: Hagan/Marty (final sighting in MXC) 10th: Darius/Cameron (final sighting in South America) 9th or 8th: Joslyn/Erin (final sighting en route to Europe) 9th or 8th: Jessica/Brittany (final sighting between Geneva and Chamonix) * It's Day 14 out of ~21 allotted for filming, i.e. 2/3s into the schedule, Leg 8 intuitively with a slight allowance for Leg 7 or 9 in either direction.

The route as of the halfway point: Mexico City, Mexico Cartagena, Colombia Cartagena, Colombia Geneva, Switzerland Chamonix, France Yerevan, Armenia? * Tbilisi, Georgia * Possibly after a destination elsewhere in the French Alps and/or Athens, Greece Source: Rational deduction from numerous sightings, etc.

Rachel/Zach and Korey/Tyler have probably survived the Francophone leg(s) and are on their way to the Former Soviet Union: http://www.instagram.com/p/-hdPrBSRBS/ http://www.instagram.com/p/-mKOweyRM1/ Source: Instagram photographs by Christos Nanos

At least when the show goes under before 2017, it will have gone out with a bang: the Caucasus trio being completed before both the Benelux and the Baltics (and Comoros).

Leg 7 will cross the Caucasian border into Tbilisi, Georgia. http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc494/AllAboutTAR/tar28/Screenshot_43.jpg http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc494/AllAboutTAR/tar28/Screenshot_44.jpg Source: RFF second-in-command Candi Lee

It's another North Indian nuptial affair* fourteen seasons later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7eeN78dcp4 At least it's not wholly indoors this time around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9cE4cHfVQ4 * The wedding-crasher "Launder Money" Detour option.

Amen, lost in all the quibbling about her failure to use the term "Protestant" is the crux of the matter, that she as a non-Hindu was appreciative of a native religious tradition - paired with a masterful U-Turn play that would've made Kautilya* proud, Miss Gerckens and her boytoy earned quite a bit of respect. * The Otto von Bismarck of the ancient Mauryan Empire, or, more accurately, OvB is the Prussian version of him
