Well, we have the first country, which Phil named at the live start, but no official source for it. Still waiting on them to release the rest of the cast. Perhaps tomorrow since they were out by this point after the previous live starts. Mark RaceFan ( talk) 04:21, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Huh. Was expecting to have a press release to source to of the entire cast's names (and maybe first country) out today, a la the previous open starting lines. Guess CBS isn't swinging that way this time. Ah well, we'll just have to wait for pre-airing press, then Mark RaceFan ( talk) 05:31, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
We have some cast members listed here: https://hiddenremote.com/2017/10/15/amazing-race-season-30-cast-spoilers-joey-chestnut-shawn-marion-alexander-rossi-reportedly-competing-tar/ Should we use it as a credible source? Michaelmarill ( talk) 03:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)Michaelmarill
The Netherlands probably shouldn't be included as a destination for Leg 2. Yes, they flown there, then took a train to Antwerp, but the clue specifically said "Travel to Antwerp, Belgium", not Amsterdam. I do want to point out that an article from TV Guide, http://www.tvguide.com/news/the-amazing-race-30-cast/, explicitly states that TAR30 is traveling between 10 countries, so that means one of the 11 countries listed as destinations on this article (the US, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Morocco, France, Bahrain, the Czech Republic, China, Thailand, and Zimbabwe) is incorrect.

I get your point. If we follow the show's official count, then it makes sense. Back to TAR30, you are probably right that the Netherlands is not one of the 10 countries. If this is true, should we consider removing the Netherlands from the Leg 2 section title, as well as from the count here (in the same way we left out TAR20 Austria)?

I hate to bring this up again, but after rewatching the episode a third time, the direct quote about the flight was "due to limited availability, we have reservations for you from Reykjavík to Amsterdam." This is not the first time TAR has given teams reservations due to limited availability, TAR17 Leg 4 gave teams tickets from Accra to Kiruna via Frankfurt (and all teams took this flight, yet the leg remains listed as Ghana → Sweden) and TAR25 Leg 9, where teams were given tickets to Paris from Valletta and had to make connections to Singapore from there (should they use them). The only time that TAR gave tickets for an explicitly mandatory flight was on TAR18 Leg 4 from Tokyo to Kunming. It was not stated that these tickets were a mandatory flight, and with the wording from their clue, the situation seems similar to TAR17 where everyone simply took the same flight.

should we put at how in Leg 2 Team Yale was the 3rd to the Head to Head but after losing 6 in a row was dropped to 8th? the other two legs they were in the top 3 and would have been had it not been for bad luck at the head to head. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razgriz920 ( talk • contribs) 18:26, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Leg 7 featured a scrambling Partner Swap, a mix-up twist that made the ending very interesting. Once teams reunited with their original partners, they were told to immediately continue racing. However, the placements were not mentioned; but Leg 1 required the use of an instant replay to decide two of the placements by a literal footrace. Upon rewatching the episode, two footraces took place and provided sufficient information to break the tie, while Phil stated Kristi & Jen arrived and spared from elimination. Here are the team placements based on this information.
As with all legs without mandatory rest at the Pit Stop, no prize was available for the team that arrived first. OfficerAPC ( talk) 15:55, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
I do not believe the final task with the airplanes is a Roadblock. The last clue teams open up (Outside of the ship) is a blue Route Info clue. It's just that the rules of this clue specifically required the non-Roadblock team member to assemble the plane. The producers made a point of including a voiceover from Kristi/Jen explaining why she was the only one doing the task, which they wouldn't need to do if it was a Roadblock since we all know what a Roadblock is, but it was necessary in this case because it was an unusual circumstance. 96.48.238.205 ( talk) 10:20, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
The final task was definitely not a Roadblock. It was not mentioned by Phil to be so, and when teams opened their clue, it was a blue Route Info clue, not a red Roadblock one. It was only stated since the partner that did not do the Roadblock had to build the fighter jet, that it, Phil nor any of the other racers said it was not a Roadblock.
