It's not an open field. It's a bog, which is a lake filled with decaying organic debris (leaves, stems, etc.) -- it stays wet all year round.
It's unfarmable, unless it's drained -- and it wasn't drained. Thus, it's not a field, not a monument, not a landmark -- it's a viewing
tower (building) in a bog.

you mean bog?
I don't see a viewing tower in a bog being a monument. It's not exactly a building either. A bog is not a field. all this discussions pretty much should lead to the conclusion it is NOTA or, since I didn't pick NOTA, it's bonus points for all :) |

12. What would be the best to describe the pitstop for this leg? [50 pts]I think: B. Monument / Landmark C. Building could both qualify as the correct answer. It wasn't just a tower built for the Amazing Race. Its a real place, maybe even a tourist destination. From a recrap of the show i found this: Teams must now run through the bogs to Keava Raba Overlook Tower for this leg's Pit Stop.And in trying to find it, I found these (big, official) names for it: 1) Keava Raba and Outlook Tower Rapla County, Estonia 2) Keava (Keava Raba (Estonian) Outlook Tower) 3) Keava Raba and Outlook Tower Rapla County, Estonia. |

The basis for the question regarding the pitstop (also based on the past games) are:
1. The actual name of the pitstop. 2. How Phil described it. But since it's an actual place in Estonia, I might consider also B. |

But can that tower really be considered a building? When I think of one, it should be one made of concrete, has things like windows and ceilings rather than
just a wooden structure.
And it really isn't much of a monument or a landmark either because it was just a random tower in the bog. But either way, I'm fine with whatever conclusion i guess. just one question. =x |

Even the pit stop area is considerably a landmark or building. I guess that the Overlook Tower is a building.

It's more like a firetower or a watchtower, a lookout, and I have no clue if it is a monument. Seems to be something else even if it is a tourist destination. I agree I am good with whatever decision is made cuz it's just for fun. I think the amount of uncertainty around this question may lead to the fact that it should be bonus points for all :) My final word on the subject. Cross my heart. :) |

But it wasn't a regular building, it was a tower, plus getting the supplies in their to add windows, indoor plumbing, etc, etc, would destroy the blogs eco
system and it wouldn't be easy, aren't blogs a little like quicksand? But I'm still thinking 'Building' and/or 'landmark' best
describe it.

Phil: Congratulations! (cut to all teams checking in except for some) *cue sad music* Phil: UltimaNova and Suppis... you are the last teams to arrive. UltimaNova: First to worst... Suppis: ... Phil: And I'm sorry to tell you... that your penalty is to balance plates...
