The Americas outside the United States will host two endgame legs on a westward course for the very first time, but the TAR24 precedent of consecutive double-country visits will plague the first third of the season.

Thoughts on the complete route?

Germany AGAIN?

Europe to southern Africa to Europe to South America?  How bizarre.  Talk about killer fatigue.

I always like when they go to Namibia because it reminds me of season 1 when they didn't go to Namibia. I just have to be quick to get the quote out before my husband can say it (although if we watch during the day when our 3-year-old son is up, neither of us can give the full quote).

What is the quote?  From an earlier season?

I always remember the SNL skit, Fondue Pots for Namibia.  http://www.tv.com/shows/saturday-night-live/madeline-kahn-carly-simon-112164/

In episode 1, after leaving Victoria Falls for Batoka Gorge, Drew bought a map, and Kevin was yelling at him about it. Drew yells about how it's Africa and nothing's free, then mentions how if you're at the Statue of Liberty, the maps aren't free. Anyway, Drew pulls out the map and points something out and says, "Zambia. That's where we are." Kevin looks and just says, "That's Namibia, jackass."
