This FB post was made about 12:45 vienna time.

Look out for the Amazing Race in Vienna. We just happened to be filmed by a crew tagging along with a team. Watch for two guys asking for directions from a Postal Worker. We are walking towards them.

From FB.

IB 3576 landed in Vienna at 12:05 from Madrid. It departed from Madrid at 9am giving J/C plenty of time to get on it. I think that all teams may not have gone thru Madrid.

It looks like that there are a lot of "christmas markets" in Vienna this time of year. There is some info on that
here: http://www.aboutvienna.org/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungen5.htm and here: http://www.visitingvienna.com/sights/christmasmarkets/rathausplatz/. That one looks like a good place for a task, the race likes those market like atmospheres.

This concerns and excites me at the same time. They haven't gone to a new country yet (well it depends on if they went somewhere in between the finds of India, Spain, and Austria). I hope they have a stretch of new countries at the end.

[milanissimo]

I think that Bratislava is very Very possible...as 9th leg...
10th Other European country...
And I think that 11th will be in central America
12th..Miami???

Thanks to unnamed friends and Neobie, Slowhatch, and walkingpneumonia who helped puzzle this out!


We can now say with some certainty:

India was leg 7.
Austria was leg 8.
Switzerland was leg 9.


In Austria, there may have been a food challenge on the famous Wiener Riesenrad (German for "Viennese giant wheel") Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Austria's capital Vienna.

There may have also been a task involving carrying "Freud's couch" to The University of Vienna.

Some of the cars on the ferris wheel are set up for dinner service...

Woot!It never ceases to amaze me how clever the RFF community is!!

Still (unsuccessfully) combing through random blogs.

Or 6, 7, and 8 if the Australia legs are presented as one episode -- hence the discrepancy with the timeline! We'll have this all figured out in a week or so, I imagine!

[theschnauzers]

I think it's dangerous to assume that the Australian TBC leg is going to be one episode.  Historically the TBC legs have been two episodes.  I think it confuses the situation to try and think of things in terms of episodes at this point. Who's to say that some other pair of legs might be aired as a two-hour episode, which had happened in the past?
If we can keep to it legs for right now it would avoid confusing things, as it is we know there's at least two legs between China and India that haven't been accounted for, and that's a sufficient source for confusion for now.

Mjriches I think dr rox wrote it the way he did because we aren't sure if the Sydney and broken hill 'legs' will be counted separately making them 1 and 2 or if both parts will be as an double leg with the tbc in the middle

[Neobie]

I'm counting the TBC as two 'legs' because that's how production views it: there are twelve legs in recent races. In other words, there are two legs in India.

Leg 1: Sydney
Leg 2: Broken Hill (TBC from Leg 1)
Leg 3: Tokyo/Yokohama
Leg 4: Lijiang
Leg 5: Kunming
Leg 6: Kolkata
Leg 7: India II, likely Goa/Thiruvanathapuram/Varanasi
Leg 8: Vienna
Leg 9: Switzerland

Given that we are missing a continent...I would be looking hard at SA right about now.

You mean South America or South Africa? I guess either continent would be possible. Have they ever finished with SoAmerica near the end of a race? My recollection is always visited at the beginning of the race.
eta: I Apologize for the discussion, I thought I was in spec/spoiler thread when I asked the question.

[georgiapeach]

should have spelled it out! South America...

discussing locations here is fine! Spec seems rather overrun at the moment.
