OK, so let's move on. If you were betting on the destination of TAR17's first leg, where would you put your money? For sporting chances, we'll say you can pick a westward-bound location and an eastward-bound location.
If they go around the world west to east, I'll pick Melbourne, Australia. Australia seems due.
If they go east to west, I'll go with Madrid, Spain.
Remember, this is not a "where you wish they'd go first," but a "where you think they'll go first." Peach will come up with a prize for the winner. :lol:
-
I'm betting they go East, and that they will go to Rome, Italy.
If they go West, I'll predict Hong Kong.
Melbourne would be a lovely place to visit, but I doubt it would be the first destination.
-
East: London, UK
West: Seoul, South Korea
-
West: Auckland, New Zealand
East: Lisbon, Portugal
-
I have to agree with woden, especially with Australia.
-
Will the volcanic ash from Iceland affect the route? Spain closed airports this week due to another erruption. I think they may avoid Europe all together because of this and also the fact that Europe has featured heavily the last few years.
Australia as a first leg would be a great start to the race I think. Melbourne is really just a city, they would have to go to the Great Ocean road if they went there. Perhaps 2 legs in Australia with Ayres Rock for leg 2??
-
woden, I hope you're right. Madrid would be a great choice!
I say:
East: Some Spanish city.
West: North of Asian Russia?
-
I pick Melbourne as well.
If I'm right, my prize is to stake out the airport and follow them around all day.
-
Hmmm... Have no idea how to work this out but if they go east, I pick Fontvieille, Monaco, and Nouméa, New Caledonia if they head west....
Don't ask me why I chose these places... I wouldn't know either! :duno: Picked on a whim! (have a suspicion that TPTB just spin a globe & see where their finger points when they choose the places for each race! :lol3:)
-
West: North of Asian Russia?
What's north of Asian Russia?
-
West: North of Asian Russia?
What's north of Asian Russia?
He means the places like Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Gibberishk, and Wordsk. :lol3:
-
East: South Africa (Capetown, Johannesburg, Durban--> FIFA??)
West: Perth, Australia
-
East: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (they need a detour around the volcano, no?)
West: Manila, Philippines
-
I wanted to take a look at the world map. Then i thought they will definitely start off from Asia or Australia.
I wanted to say China.. but they just went there last season. So you know they're going to avoid that country.
With the elections going on in Philippines, there could be abit of riot and TAR would want to avoid that.
Been a long time since they visited South Korea. I don't think they will start off from Australia.. they have never done that but it will be a great surprise.
I'm going with either Russia or South Korea.
-
We also have to consider that this is a summer-run route, so there's likely to be a greater emphasis on the Northern Hemisphere.
East - Dakar, Senegal (please? I mean, the use of "set" flights allows Africa to be easily visited first)
West - Seoul, South Korea
-
First place prize:
A big bucket of Eyjafjallajokul ASH. :o
Peach will come up with a prize for the winner. :lol:
-
First place prize:
A big bucket of Eyjafjallajokul ASH. :o
:o The eskdnuawbrusndllsdjwidjuisnfcf volcano's ash is still in play? :'(
-
Oh yeah, the ash. Silly me. Europe is probably out for the eastern routes. I like the Jo'burg and Rio ideas.

Spain and Portugal aren't :hearts: TAR could easily have two legs in the former.
-
Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands , and Gibraltor were all affected yesterday with multiple flights cancelled.
Poor WRP is going to have it's hands full.

Could we be in for another TAR 2 route then?
I take back anything I said earlier. We're probably going to be in for Asia, Australia, Africa, MAYBE eastern Europe (unlikely). South America may be back in the ring so that teams can get to Africa (an eastward route seems more likely now).

I agree with no India this season (this warning has been in place for the last two cycles and has prevented a return to that country), but I think Sri Lanka and the Philippines are feasible. The travel warnings are for certain provinces, not the whole country.
-
USA's travel warnings are little overprotective. In their standards India is always dangerous country because there is always something happening but in some spesific areas not everywhere. Also Israel is perfectly safe I was just there in March visiting in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. And last summer I visited in Georgia (btw amazing country and very European). In Mexico there is always some drug wars going on, it's probably on the list because some rebels killed those Finnish and Mexican human rights workers in April. I love also how on the website they make my home country sound more interesting than it real is, like: Elements of organized crime groups operating in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are present in Finland. B:)
But lets stay in topic
East: Madrid or anywhere in Spain! (and hopefully in late-June or July because I'm going to be there then :jumpy:)
West: South Korea because it's less visited country in that direction.
-
I would love if they came to Lisbon, because I study there, so I'd have hopes to run into some of the teams while using public transportation! LOL
However, since this is not a "wishing" topic, I think they will start with either Australia or New Zealand :)
-
West: North of Asian Russia?
What's north of Asian Russia?
Something like Magadan, or like such as... you know.
-
East: Brazil
West: Australia
-
West- Start in either Seattle, San Francisco, or LA, and go to Cambodia, and then hopefully the 2nd leg will be in a tiny island country like Micronesia or Fiji
East-Start in LA or NYC, and go to Morocco
-
hi guys.. newbie..
hope they'll try this route.. did they already taken this route in previous Seasons?
East to West Start (Oregon)
Australia--Southeast Asia (Laos or Phils.)---South Asia (Sri Lanka(safe now here)/Maldives(same as Seychelles))
--Mideast (BAhrain)
--- East or North Africa --- and avoiding Europe --- divert to South America --- then US (Texas) :duno: :yess:
-
:welcome: to RFF static edrei!
-
I agree with Madrid, Spain. TAR has a huge debt with that country. If westwards, I would say the Easter Islands (though is very unlikely to have Chile as first leg again) or Perú, just a little bit of South América before continuing on Asia or Oceania.
-
If they go east, they should go to Brazil, then Spain, then spend a lot of time in Africa, and then head to Asia or Australia/Oceania before heading back to America.
If they go west, they should go to the Philippines, then head to Australia, then spend a lot of time in East and North Africa, and finally spend one leg in Europe (Spain) before heading back to the U.S.

The FIFA World Cup stars in South Africa on June 10 for a month. I can't see TAR going there during this time due to high prices of air fares and too much else going on at that time.

You have a strong point there. Also, I wouldn't say a place in Europe with the intermittent volcano situation there.
How about this: East - Rabat in Morocco, or West - Ulaanbaator in Mongolia... at least it will be fun to hear them say THAT ONE. Hehe!!!

Well it could work. Why not fly into a nearby country (Lesotho) have a leg there and then drive into South Africa. And if TAR starts soon then they could visit and be gone before it even starts.
I think Europe is definitely out (unless it's East Europe maybe) cuz of all the volcano's in Iceland. So I'm think it would be
USA--> Africa--> Asia--> Oceania--> South America--> USA
-
For the first time ever, we might see South America in back-to-back editions. Africa is not easy to access (the only direct flight I can think of from US to Africa are East Coast to Johannesburg).
I also agree a return visit to Australia is highly likely.

Not exactly. There are a number of flights to North Africa mainly. They may have 1 in North Africa then moving to Southern Africa.
-
IF Spain airports are still closed, it is difficult to go to the North of Europe.

They went to Mongolia in S10. Peter turned Sarah into some sort of freak show for money. Hated that leg.
Guys, look at possible cities where teams can take a direct flight or connect via an American city.
East: Madrid, Spain then if possible take train to Italy (no ash)
West: Japan or Taiwan
-
The problem is that even Spain is out of commission.
I suppose it may be possible for teams to go to Cairo first leg, but that's a big jump.
-
ASH is still very much a concern. Both Heathrow and Schipol were closed for some hours today.
-
If they head West (Assuming LA start point) Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland are all directly connected.
-
For South and East: South America, Southern Europe, or Africa
For West: Oceania or Asia
-
I'm betting they go East, and that they will go to Rome, Italy.
THIS!! Because I'll be in Rome at the top of June!!
-
How about coming back to Costa Rica, Ecuador or Panama? Switchback for the first leg...
-
ASH is still very much a concern. Both Heathrow and Schipol were closed for some hours today.
The volcanic ash according to the British Meteological Office is north in the Arctic Ocean and White Sea off the coast of northern Russia. Airports are working fine in Europe and the Mediteranean with very little or no volcanic ash interuption.

Heathrow was not closed to my knowledge. There has been a flight attendant strike which caused the cancellation of many national and international flights. from the Associated Press yesterday:
Union wins court fight with BA on strikes By JANE WARDELL, AP Business Writer
LONDON (AP) -- Thousands of travelers face the renewed threat of disruption in coming weeks after the union representing British Airways cabin crews won a landmark ruling against a legal block on its planned strikes. The Unite union said it wouldn't immediately order workers off the job and instead intended to pursue talks with BA management to resolve a bitter dispute over changes to pay and working conditions - but indicated that staff will walk out from Monday if no deal is reached by then. BA said it was disappointed that Unite intended to go ahead with "its unjustified and pointless strikes," saying it planned to fly around 70 percent of passengers booked to travel over the targeted period. Negotiations between the union and the airline in the months long dispute have become increasingly difficult since Unite forged ahead with a financially damaging walkout in March and BA took disciplinary action against several workers. Unite was incensed when BA turned to the courts earlier this week, just hours before a planned series of strikes totaling 20 days was due to begin. The loss-making airline won a ruling from the High Court that the walkouts were unlawful because of a technical error in the union's ballot of members. It was the third time in less than six months that the courts had barred a major transport strike, including a planned walkout by BA cabin crews over the Christmas and New Year breaks - on technical grounds. Two other strikes are currently before the courts. The decision on Thursday by the Court of Appeal overturning the High Court ruling - in a 2-1 ruling from the three judges - was hailed by the union movement as a restoration of the long-held democratic right of workers to walk off the job in industrial disputes. "This is an important victory," said Trades Union Congress General Secretary Brendan Barber. "I hope it marks a halt to the recent run of arbitrary legal judgments where employers have found it all too easy to get courts to find in their favor and prevent employees from exercising their democratic right to take strike action." Unite, which represents some 90 percent of BA's 12,000 cabin crew, struck a conciliatory note outside the court, saying it was keen to use the enforced break to return to the negotiating table. "We would hope that we don't have to strike at all," Derek Simpson, joint general secretary of Unite, told reporters outside the court in central London. "We would call upon British Airways to go that extra mile ... and allow us to proceed to what is absolutely required in this, a negotiated conclusion." The union is particularly angry about the disciplinary action taken against around 50 workers and that BA removed travel perks from staff who took part in the March strike and this week took out full-page newspaper advertisements accusing "Brutish Airways" of bullying. BA Chief Executive Officer Willie Walsh has insisted that the travel concessions are not part of the negotiations and will not be reinstated. The airline said Thursday it had already put forward a "very fair" offer on changes, such as reduced staffing on longhaul flights, that it argues are necessary for its survival in a post-financial crisis world where demand for air travel has fallen. BA, which is due to report a third record annual loss when it releases its earnings on Friday, has been hit hard by the global economic downturn because of its heavy running costs and reliance on premium fare traffic. The union says it has already agreed to significant savings and that the airline is now going too far. Simpson said cabin crews would not begin strike action until the planned start of the second of the original four blocks of five-day walkouts - May 18-22, May 24-28, May 30-June 3 and June 5-9. BA has been running a reduced service this week, but had been unwinding some of its contingency plans for the walkout - which would still fall over a British school summer vacation period, a long weekend and the run-up to the football World Cup in South Africa - to allow more flights. After the ruling, it said it expected a large number of cabin crew staff to ignore the strike call - as several did during the March walkout. London's Heathrow Airport will again bear the brunt of the cancellations with the airline planning to operate around 60 percent of its longhaul program and 50 percent of its shorthaul service from that hub. It plans to operate a full schedule at Gatwick and London City.

Sure. But if you're in charge of producing a show that costs millions of dollars, has to wrap within a three week window, and must be meticulously coordinated, you're not taking chances on "little to no interruption." The only way BVM goes through Europe on this race is if he is guaranteed functioning planes and airports, and I don't see that happening.
-
Airports have been closed in many places here in Europe in the past week. Today (Friday) airports in northern Norway were closed. But the volcano is again calmed down but you can expect it to erupt again.
-
So Northern Hemisphere summer + avoiding Europe = more China, India and Thailand. Joy.
Surprise me, CBS!

And I guess they'll give North and South Korea a miss what with all the sabre rattling going on...

And maybe no Australia either. :(

I would think Thailand is out because of the recent troubles in Bangkok, right?
Oh, you're right about that! Though they did narrowly miss the trouble in TAR 14 when they closed down Suvarnabhumi Airport; I was in Phuket and Bangkok a week after them and all the flights were screwed up...
Not too many choices then? We'd be seeing quite some South American winter I suppose?

Perhaps the first time we have SA in back-to-back installments?
I'm thinking that TAR might actually look at North America and say, "Hey we haven't been here in a while..." Canada would probably be first on that list.

The interesting thing is that most of these problems are relatively recent developments (Thailand, volcano, etc) -- I wonder how much tweaking TPTB have had to do at the eleventh hour. No Australia would really be a shame -- it's an available location with lots more to see and a long gap between visits.
-
Europe is fine now, besides the Iceland volcano ash hasn't been much of a talk now. The Heathrow airport thing is due to the British Airways f.a. strike. I agree with the Thailand situation and the situation between the Korea's. We could see Australia again since season9, or some of the Pacific Island nations too. South America would be possible or not since the Chile quake, Brazil could get a revisit again and South Africa as well.

I think the earthquake is not going to take the race out of South America, because it only affected the regions of Maule and Bio Bio in Chile, so any other region in Chile is safe, same for other countries in South America... but anyways i don't think they are visiting South America again...

Hope WRP listens to you.
I'd love a route coming to Spain... Only once the race came to Spain, and only for half a leg.
PS: I don't think TAR 3 came literally to Spain... Nothing to do here.

So, given that the starting line is at Boston, we may see a European start! But if that volcano is still there, I'm guessing Central America islands!
-
Maybe Canada? A lot of flights into Toronto today.

Though, it's an Eastward race. If they do fly to Canada, they'll have to fly to Europe for the next legs. But The path to Europe is kinda shaky and unstable due to the ash thingy (if it's still on). So, I **speculate** it's NOT Canada.
OR Canada, then fly to South America, but I don't **think** so.

and Virgin Atlantic 12 dep 7:45 PM arr 7:20 AM ( remaining 8 teams).
Destination: Heathrow, then on to STONEHENGE!! :hearts:
England, right? :hearts:
about time to go to another world famous landmark!
-
So GonzaloChileno wins? Congrats on winning that Eyjafjallajokull ash! :snicker:
I must say this is one of the best start-city/first-destination combinations ever. We haven't had an epic start since TAR 2's Cristo Redemptor first clue.
-
I was thinking about this earlier tonight, and I can't believe TAR hadn't gone to Stonehenge in sixteen full seasons. About time they went there.

So, to stay on topic; next betting question:
What tasks will appear in the 90-minute premier?
Detour, Roadblock?
Will we find out what the new twist does in the first episode?
Will we get another "obvious" edit of the F4(or 5)?
Will we get more screamers (Meredith, Victoria, etc.) this season?
-
So, to stay on topic; next betting question:
What tasks will appear in the 90-minute premier?
Roadblock and a general task, as has been customary for the past 3 seasons.
Will we find out what the new twist does in the first episode? Yes (otherwise later viewers will be confused)
Will we get another "obvious" edit of the F4(or 5)? I see a lot of emphasis on the FF teams. Too much emphasis causes hype, which leads to backlash, just saying.
Will we get more screamers (Meredith, Victoria, etc.) this season? Define screaming. Bickering, yes. Complaining, probably.
-
Define screaming. Bickering, yes. Complaining, probably.
I mean people that continuously scream to their partners (and I meant Gretchen instead of Meredith xD)
Example:
Gretchen: Meredith! WE GOT A BAD ELEPHANT!
Victoria: NOOOO!!! THEY'RE GONA TAKE IT!!!!! JOOOOOOOOOOOHNNNNNNNNN!!!
(Jor?)Dan: I LOVE YOU BRO!!!!!
and last, but not least:
Karyn: LEENNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!

What tasks will appear in the 90-minute premier?
I'd really like to see a Detour AND a Roadblock. If the spoilers from the first leg are correct, there wouldn't be enough time for an overnight rest, so with 90-minutes, they COULD have time to show both a Detour and a Roadblock. Probably a bit unlikely though. What I AM interested to see is the teams trying to get from Gloucester to Logan Airport, since I live outside of the city and I know getting to the airport can be a nightmare if you don't know where you're going.
Will we find out what the new twist does in the first episode?
I hope so.
Will we get another "obvious" edit of the F4(or 5)?
I hope not.
Will we get more screamers (Meredith, Victoria, etc.) this season?
There always is, so I'll say yeah.

Try unlikely. Those turned out to be an elaborate hoax that someone blew right out of the water.

No, I didn't mean it that way. I mean that the flights carrying teams to their first destination (keeping it hidden, just in case someone comes to the spoilers board expecting NOT to find spoilers... :lol3: ) arrived at like 7 or 8 in the morning local time, so it wasn't like they were arriving at a time that was feasbile for TPTB to include an overnight rest. I was lurking around here when whatshisface unleashed his reign of fake first-leg spoilers amongst us all, so I do know what you're talking about. That's just not what I was refering to when I mentioned the spoilers.
(But I'll still hold out hope that with a 90-minute premier, we might might might see a Detour and a Roadblock in the same leg. :tup: )

I hope we see both, like in China TAR 10. BUT, no quick eliminations please! :o
