India/China one or both. I don't think two seasons in a row without either is possible. :lol:
A new country maybe?
This season must be a west to east route season. If it is not, :killme:Nooooo.....!!! Don't hang yourself just because TAR's not going west to east. :lol3:
I think we are due a NON-LA start. :lol:Amen, let's hope for that. How about Atlanta?
I'm usually pretty good at reading the producers' minds - a few seasons back I got every country right.
United States
Portugal
Morocco
Serbia
Russia
India
Australia
Philippines
Costa Rica
United States
That's nine countries, with one new - roughly the same as this season. If I had to guess, I'd say the extra three legs come from double legs in Morocco (because the show hasn't had a single leg in any African country for twelve seasons), Australia, and the Philippines.
Starting Point: i feel like they use states on some kind of coastline a lot... so i figure we will get a somewhat southern start but a city thats not on the coast.. maybe Nashville, TN... then heading to costa rica to go from hot to hot (since they are probably filming in the summer.. then maybe an extremley cold europe leg.. o i dont know poland or austria? take a quick dip into africa (angola would be a nice probable leg) then go back up into cold europe kind of like how S13 did hot-cold-hot-cold.. I do feel like they will use the Laos leg somewhere.. also maybe some islands as well...
Summer filming often has gone SOUTH (of the equator) so as to get to cooler weather.ik that had a huge brain fart...
I'm usually pretty good at reading the producers' minds - a few seasons back I got every country right.
Seriously? Link me to said post please :lol:
I think that we will see either Chicago, San Francisco, New York or Boston as a startcity this season. And at least 3 major big cities in Europe
Starting dates:
The Amazing Race 15: July 18.
The Amazing Race 17: May 26.
The Amazing Race 19: June 18.
The Amazing Race 21: May 26.
The Amazing Race 23: I predic late May early June.
What's the latest on Season 23?
Keoghan: Can you believe it's been 23 seasons? We continue to get teams we could've never dreamed up. There are certain teams you don't even know are out there until you see the combination. Expect some different, new casting announcements. I've started writing the scripts for next season and the challenges are great. ... We will have new places [and we'll start shooting] in the summer. We don't tell people specific dates because they find us anyway. That's one of the things that's changed dramatically since Season 1 with social media.
There are literally fans from around the world who come together and live-tweet and collect sightings of you and the teams. Does that bother you guys? Or do you like that it's almost interactive now? Twitter did help Kaylani get her passport back.
Keoghan: Exactly. There are live updates all the time. Personally, I think it's exciting. What's weird was when we were going one way in an airport and The Amazing Race Asia team was going the other way, but neither of us had any idea that the other would be there. I think anyone who was trying to keep track would've been extremely confused. One of the other franchises was shooting in Christchurch [New Zealand] and my friend emailed me and said, "I can't believe you came to Christchurch and didn't even give me a call." I was like, "What are you talking about?" He manages the Christchurch airport and he said, "I saw the crew and the racers running around the airport." I was like, "Sorry, dude, that wasn't me." But Twitter and social media have added a whole new element for fans. Fans love being in the know. I think overall, our fans are pretty good. They don't give away too much. Sometimes people love dropping spoilers, but our fans are good. They tend to do it in such a way that doesn't ruin it for fans who don't want to know.
Sometimes they withhold major spoilers until after the season's over.
Keoghan: And we love that because I think they think they're part of something bigger. They don't feel like they have to spoil everything. Little teases here and there to whet the appetite are enough.
Malaysia fans, watch out. #gutfeeling
100% speculation: the race will start and end in the United States.
I'll speculate that WRP has a discriminating view for Mexico and Canada.Give it a year or two while the whole political shift calms down, I'm forecasting Mx for the next All-Stars
Mexico makes it to the top 15 of all the following lists while Canada almost does:
TOP 15 Richest Countries by National GDP, 15 Largest, 15 Most populated, 15 oldest and largest democracies in the world. ...and all but Mexico and Canada have been recently visited.
Even President Barack Obama has been in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cabo San Lucas 4 times and has sent his daughters on vacation to Oaxaca State during his presidency which is much shorter than the time TAR has been running!
Bertram: ¡Estamos esperando! We are waiting!
Give it a year or two while the whole political shift calms down, I'm forecasting Mx for the next All-Stars
Dude, our ruling party just changed, which may have a positive effect in safety issues the country has had, which has kept Mexico in the US Travel Warning list, but it will take time. Also, I'm Mexican.Give it a year or two while the whole political shift calms down, I'm forecasting Mx for the next All-Stars
Political "shift"? Calms down? A year or two? I have no idea what are you referring to but I promise not to make any fun of your lack of knowledge.

A lot of editions of the race have been filming in places like Sri Lanka and The Philippines so I can't see them ruling them out straight away...
guys we all now it is going start in LA
I think we'll see India again. :)
Also Udaipur and Goa could be great Places to go!!!!I think we'll see India again. :)
I think it's gonna be the highland, such as Darjeeling, or even more bustling city that hasn't been visited yet, such as Bangalore ;)

I hope for a Philippine leg since there hasn't been any since TAR 5. :D
I think we'll see India again. :)
I think we are due a NON-LA start. :lol:Amen, let's hope for that. How about Atlanta?
Philadelphia (although that would make a better finishing place)?
Charlotte?
Detroit?
Orlando?
Houston?
St. Louis?
Minneapolis?

This is what I think and Peach thinks. It is quite similar to what Claude has proposed for the start city and diametrically opposed to ZBC stating "We all know that it's going to be L.A." We don't all know that and one of these races World Race Productions is not going to take the easy way out and give us a more interesting start instead of just a drive to LAX.
Well TAR17 was the last time, so I think it should be time for another Europe start.
Sorry for not reading up on five pages worth of thread, but... What are the chances that the powers that be put a leg in Canada? I believe they've visited before, but only east.
Terminology please.
TAR 17 did NOT start in Europe...they started in Gloucester, Mass. The first LEG went to England...but not the start.
Are Colombia and Venezuela are still in the travel warning list?Colombia definitely, just cause of the drug war. Not sure about Venezuela.
Don't y'all get too worked up yet. The new board has much more to do with MY schedule than TAR's. :oh
Are Colombia and Venezuela are still in the travel warning list?Colombia definitely, just cause of the drug war. Not sure about Venezuela.
Detroit as a finish city would make sense. They're one of the few significant US international airports TAR hasn't used yet, you get a lot of daylight filming hours this time of year, and there are a good number of nice places in the area where they could film tasks in relative privacy.
Possibly Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but anything else is a no.
Not on the warning list. That is limited to more sustained dangers. But the individual city warnings are quite extensive:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1072.html
How about go to Canada?
Haha. Sorry Peach for the very uneven post. I was so frantic to post it that I've forgot to redo it. :iok
I hope the Philippines get visited. It has been a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time since the country was last visited.
Also, don't you think it is better to have just one race for a year? I mean, the last seasons were very forgettable in general. :res:
I think another Survivor/BB/ whatever reality show team makes it.

I am about to embark on the biggest physical and mental challenge of my life and trust me I will be fueled by my No Opportunity Wasted Energy Bar. In July I will leave Paris to travel around France on a 1928 bicycle. I will average 150 miles a day for 22 days to honor the Australasian team who rode the Tour de France. Proceeds from my film will go to MS. This is hands down the hardest thing I have attempted to do in my life so far!!!
Maybe, maybe not. We had the season 12 Anchorage finale heavily spoiled. :tup:

From an interview in the 'hil in the news' thread.I think they are gonna start in late May!!!!I am about to embark on the biggest physical and mental challenge of my life and trust me I will be fueled by my No Opportunity Wasted Energy Bar.

If Phil is planning to ride around France in July then that must mean that TAR filming is complete by then. Which means it should start filming soon...
I have a feeling they might start in a Texas city (most likely Houston) or Detroit because they also provide airline services internationally. Houston's intercontinental airport is known for traveling to all continents except Antarctica (obviously :res: ) I suggest keeping a watchdog in Houston because I see it as a starting line location and not a finish line location. It hasn't even been featured.Maybe, maybe not. We had the season 12 Anchorage finale heavily spoiled. :tup:
Portland, Oregon will make a nice starting city. No spoilers for sure.
:lol3: Good one!
Portland doesn't have much in nonstop international flights, the only nonstop internationals other than Canada are Tokyo and Amsterdam on Delta Airlines. Portland is better off as a finish line city anyway. Seattle has a better chance as a starting line city due to SeaTac Airport has more international service to Asia and Europe.
TAR23 Filming could start sometime either this weekend or afterwards.
I think the starting line might be in Miami. In S20 when the went to South American, IIRC, the flew from LA to Miami and then on their way, so maybe production can skip the domestic flight in the US and start in Miami. Miami also has many flights to Europe as well and we are due for the first leg to be in Europe.Not being rude, but Miami is about as :groan: as a starting line location in L.A. County again. We've all seen Los Angeles or Miami featured in some way or another including airport arrivals for nearly every season now since TAR10.
because 23 is usually the number people forget in counting.

LOLL
But seriously I think we are due for an East Coast start.
S11 = Miami
5 straight in La
S17 = Boston
5 straight in La
S23 = Non La start?
Um, what's wrong with an LA start? We only get to see it for the first 15 mins of the first episode anyway. :) And what I care more about is a non LA finish .
Um, what's wrong with an LA start? We only get to see it for the first 15 mins of the first episode anyway. :) And what I care more about is a non LA finish .
Another Texas final is long overdue. San Antonio or Houston though.
Next to nothing :lol:That is right. Here's why:
On destinations:
I am almost 100% locked on onto Malaysia. It's been 6 seasons and one of the cheapest SE Asia destinations, with just enough to keep it fresh every visit. We could look at Eastern peninsular malaysia (Kuantan/Kota Bharu) or Western/Southern (Ipoh/Malacca/ Penang again why not?) or Kuching/Miri/Kota Kinabalu on Borneo. Our Malaysia fans should keep an eye out this season.
Legs in China are almost always interesting, so count that in for TAR23. They might explore Southern China due to convenient connection by Hong Kong. Cities such as Guangzhou, Xiamen, Haikou/Sanya on Hainan island. If they transit by Shanghai, it would be Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi & the UNESCO Huangshan in neighbouring Anhui province. I do not think they will do a leg in/around the northern part i.e. via Beijing. The only possibility would be Harbin/Shenyang to connect into Russia's eastern edge, or Inner Mongolia/Xinjiang to connect to Mongolia. Count Chengdu out.
Also, Cambodia for the same reasons as Malaysia. Though it would be freaking hot!! The last time it was visited was the Zev & Justin passport disaster leg IIRC. And that was just Phnom Penh. Siem Reap has lots to show in the 10 seasons since its Race visit. And in between the 2 cities, Baray, Kampong Cham, Preah Vihear (UNESCO temple) could be an additional leg in the same way producers like to have Phuket/Chiang Mai as an additional leg when visiting Thailand.
I could envision 2-3 legs in Mongolia/Irkutsk/Lake Baikal region in seasons to come. That is a region yet to be explored. Vladivostok/ROK/Japan might be a stretch due to their proximity to DPRK. Singapore and Philippines are about time too, even if it was just 1 Manila city leg. It would truly surprise me in a good way if the race went to Myanmar, or Nepal.
On Europe: I don't think they can skip this continent entirely. Like Asia, when cultures are so different and in Asia's case when 2/3 of the world resides there, it's not really a "Race around the world" if you don't visit it.
Very low chances of TAR23 going to: France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
Moderate chances: Spain (least likely Barcelona due to S21), Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland
High chances: Portugal, Hungary, Baltic states, Former Yugoslavia states - you get where i'm going with this
On start/end cities:
Have they ever done Philly?
Just for the random lulz -> Wichita, KS - "aviation capital of US"
Dover, Delaware
New Orleans
Galveston
Denver
Boise
Kansas City
Dallas
Jamaica would fit too.
If it's Malaysia guess it's time for some TAR scooping for me. :lol3:
Have they ever done Philly?
after 4 of the last 5 seasons have finished in NL East cities (baseball fans will know what I'm referring to :) ).Wow, I honestly hadn't noticed that! Washington, NYC, Atlanta, Miami.
This season should start filming soon right? I wonder if they have the cast by now.
Man...I'd be so pissed if they went to Ilocos Norte, Philippines. I was just there in March/April 2013! I can already imagine them visiting Batac to make empanadas or ziplining in Pagudpud or visiting the windmills in Bangui.I'm from Batac (my father is). I actually did all those things during my vacation there from May 9-16.
Heck, I'd be happy with a visit anywhere in the country!
No the cast for TAR 24 is by no means set.I think he meant CASTING, as in they're accepting applications for TAR 24.
TAR 23 IS casted.
No the cast for TAR 24 is by no means set.
TAR 23 IS casted.
Yeah, he said he saw them filming a team with a golden envelope at an airport Starbucks. That didn't make a lot of sense for several reasons. When I tried to get more info, he just got more vague and finally clammed up. I think I got trolled.
I agree we would have seen other tweets if they had been filming. I think it'll be a while before it starts. Maybe next weekend, maybe not.

Isn't Phil in France this weekend. It makes starting this weekend very unlikely.
someone tweeted saying they saw some amazing race teams at the Denver airport 5 hours ago??? :O
Father/Daughter team????
I think there will be a lot of parent/child teams for this season 23. 3-4 teams maybe? The last season we have 3 parent/child team is season 18. Doesn't TAR want to have parent/child winner?
The route is eastward, I'm quite sure. I think they'll try something new, like putting South American legs on last.
Phil seems to be riding across France, but on a speedy bike. Practice for the July ride?
He probably will be through in a few days. Race start by June1, maybe May 30 or 31.
Or sooner. Can not wait.
Hi! I'm new here! I usually come here to just check up on amazing race spoilers, and I thought I might as well make an account :)
Haha anyway as tar 23 spec, what's the chance of this season starting or ending in Phoenix, AZ?
Also, as for actual countries visited, I think Poland, Portugal, and the Philippines are definitely up for re-visits, and I think we should keep our eyes peeled for new visits to Monaco & Bahamas.
Thanks!

Phil just tweeted:
"#Heathrow to #LAX on @FlyAirNZ fantastic flight back home thank you team! @NoOppWasted"
So I guess he is on his way back already?
Bienvenido, Hysha!!! Más españolees!! :D
BTW, Cuba has never been visited because of obvious reasons of the relationship of US with that country.
I don't know. I would think Phil would need some rest time before starting after all these miles he traveled on the bike. I guess we will find out soon!
Phil just tweeted:

Hi there!
I'm Jorge, from Spain. I'm not good with english, but i'll try to write good for being understood by all. I talk in english like Tarzán! hahah
I hope this season they will go to countries not visited yet, or been visited a few times (Portgual, Philppines, Laos, Nepal...) Obviously, not China, France, Japan, India...
I created my season. Maybe it have a lot of "ignored" countries, but i like.
1 – USA - CUBA -> From NY to La Habanna. A fall from a skyscraper in NY will be amazing. TAR was never to Cuba. (Americans cant go to Cuba)
2- CUBA – COSTA RICA -> Costa Rica is one of the most expected countries to see on the next season.
3- COSTA RICA – FIYI -> Oceania have more than Australia and NZ!
4 - FIYI – AUSTRALIA - PHILIPPINES -> Please, go Philippines.
5 - PHILIPPINES – LAOS -> Laos, another beautiful country not visited yet.
6 – LAOS – NEPAL -> Like Laos.
7 – NEPAL – EGYPT -> A leg on the desert will be great, with pyramides, sphinx.. (Egypt is considered dangerous)
8 - EGYPT -> One leg for Africa is so poor.
9 – EGYPT – GREECE -> Greece is beautiful. They can go to Mykonos.
10 – GREECE – SPAIN -> I know Spain was visited on the 21st season, but it's my country, i want TAR go there. This time to Canary islands.
11 – SPAIN – PORTUGAL -> Portugal needs a visit.
12 – PORTUGAL – CANADÁ -> The semifinal.
13 – CANADÁ - USA -> The final in Alaska.
I think Africa need more legs too. There are so many countries in this continent are not visited yet.
Please, no more boys team winners. (I don't like Bates and Anthony from 22, sorry! )-**)
I'm so excited for spoiler from the next season, i love this reality show! :hearts:

LOL TAR23: P Edition
I would be delighted if these three countries get chosen for this season, it's been a LONG while since they appeared. Not sure about Monaco and Bahamas. Monaco implies a visit to France, which we recently had. I still expect a Nice-Monaco-Italian Alps visit for a TAR 24 or 25, BTW.
I always have trouble understanding why Monaco was never visited. It is LONG overdue.

In Guatemala we had high security, and were in a safe region. In the major cities, Americans are major crime targets simply because we have a good amount of money compared to them, and the expensive camera equipment would make that target bigger. And Cyprus is in a huge economic struggle, and also has a Greek vs Turkish conflict in the North

The Greek vs Turkish is way over stated. Its safer then the Korean border imo.

Just saw a @newhot899 Race to the Altar couple tied together running past. How exciting!! Looks like the Amazing Race lol
Nope.
I know it says no dream routes, but I have to!Post it on the wishlist thread in the Discussion board. :)
Leg 1: Phoenix, AZ, USA (Home town respect, but it'll probably be LA) > Nassau, Bahamas (I know Bora Bora was just visited, but this place NEEDS to be visited!)
Leg 2: Nassau, Bahamas > Quito, Ecuador (Quito city leg)
Leg 3: Quito, Ecuador > Napo Province, Ecuador (Amazon leg)
Leg 4: Napo Province, Ecuador > Lisbon, Portugal (Lisbon city leg)
Leg 5: Lisbon, Portugal > either Malta, Monaco, or Sardinia (this region is way underused)
Leg 6: either Malta, Monaco, or Sardinia > Krakow, Poland (Krakow city leg)
Leg 7: Krakow, Poland > surrounding Polish countryside, Poland (possibly copy from the Australian or Israeli tars)
Leg 8: Polish countryside, Poland > Astana, Kazakhstan (this proves my point of how awesome this place is: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/02/astana/ludwig-photography)
Leg 9: Astana, Kazakhstan --> Yangon, Myanmar (Myanmar needs to be visited)
Leg 10: this leg will either be a second leg in Myanmar or the first leg in China
Leg 11: southern China (not Guilin, but other really cool places like Zhangjiajie or Wulong County)
Leg 12: southern China --> Seattle, WA, USA
Great route! There is a wishlist thread here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15213.1625.html in case you want to make more in the future. You're new here, so it's alright.
Africa, Africa, Africa
Keeping it really short:
Possibility: Unlikely
Been used a lot recently, producers will most likely want to rest it to avoid it becoming too repetitive/dull
Only way is if they use unique cultures/regions, like:
1.) Ethiopia- It's East Africa, which has been used a lot recently (Seychelles S16, Malawi S19, Tanzania S20), but it's ETHIOPIA. It's a culture and a people all it's own. A revisit has been long overdue.
2.) Western Central Africa- Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rep. of Congo could all see visits. It could be the Africa that we know and love, but with a more tropical/jungle-y twist.
3.) South Africa and either Lesotho or Swaziland- The only way this will work is if they don't do the typical "we're in Africa, let's look at the poverty and the people who still live in huts! Oh, and ANIMALS!" kind of visit. More metropolitan stuff, more extreme things (world's highest bungy in Port Elizabeth), more music and culture.
Final thought: Don't be surprised if we don't see Africa this season, or maybe even next, but still keep an eye out.

What about north Africa (mainly Morocco)?
I am predicting a 4 continent season.
3-4 legs in South America
3-4 legs in Europe
3-4 legs in Asia
1 leg in north america
Ugh when will it start? :tantrum
Yeah , i don't think they started today. And OH SHUT UP for an Indonesian first leg. :res:Please not another early Indonesian leg if they're going back... Although it highly won't happen... :res:

Because if they're going to Indonesia right now, especially in Jakarta, I'll be devastated because I'm in my final exam week! :groan:
I hope they visit Bangladesh again and this time I can catch them on the streets :P They treat Bangladesh like India and the tough African countries, they only go to the non-beautiful locations and give them very hard tasks. I am predicting this time there's gonna be 2-3 legs in South America and may focus a bit on North America too. Maybe,
Leg1: Florida-Mexico
Leg2: Mexico
Leg3: Mexico-Uruguay
Leg4: Uruguay-Morocco
Leg5: Morocco-Czech Republic
Leg6: Czech Republic-Slovakia/Poland
Leg7: Slovakia/Poland
Leg8: Slovakia/Poland-Belarus/Ukraine
Leg9: Belarus/Ukraine-Nepal-Bhutan
Leg10: Bhutan-Philippines
Leg11: Philippines-Canada (Why don't they visit Canada???)
Leg12: Canada-Seattle(USA)/San-Francisco(USA)

I really doubt they would visit both Mexico and Canada in the same season.
To me, it looks like Long Beach, California (hopefully not another LA County start) or SoBe of Miami. If those are mountains in the background instead of clouds, then I'm clueless. lol
Here's what Phil has been doing in approx. 2 days ago :
He posted a couple pics without telling where the location was... It was on sunset time..

I think the lower one was posted as a "glad to be home" one...so prob near his home. :)
:welcome: to RFF Alvi18!!

PLEASE NO MORE INDONESIA! There are more than 150 countries in the world!
About Europe, I think that the Western Europe is way overused in recent seasons. So, I think they'll go either north (Finland/Norway), south (Greece/Malta), or east (Latvia/Ukraine/Romania).

Finland/Norway is Western Europe
The bottom picture appears to be the sun setting behind what looks like mountains. It can't be on the California coast, so it has to be either east of the mountains of Los Angeles or it could be in Las Vegas.
How about from the perspective of Newport Beach CA looking across the water to the mountain on top of Catalina Island 28 miles out to sea?This seems highly unlikely from my personal experience. Every beach I have visited in Los Angeles urban area in California, you can either barely see Catalina, or can't see it at all, not to mention it's often foggy in some cases.
Western Asia (including the Indian Subcontinent):
Probability: Near Definite
Middle East
Probability: Likely
Though the region was hit nearly as hard as North Africa was during the Arab Spring, many countries were able to dodge the political and civil turmoil of that Season. Countries like Bahrain, Qatar, and U.A.E. suffered little to no problems. More countries still have since become stable and safe again (Jordan and Oman), and could easily constitute visits as well. The Caucus States (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan) probably will not receive a visit for the next few seasons, and the same for Turkey. Israel, I will say time and again is more feasible than people let on. Now with the Arab Spring in the past, and at very least one other Race franchise racing there with little to no problems, its all the more likely that this will be a location soon (prob not this year tho)

Central Asia
Probability: Possible
This is one region that I believe will receive a surprise visit in the very near future (similar to Azerbaijan in S20). Whether it's a return to Kazakhstan, or a visit to Uzbekistan, it will be a great look at region that too often gets overlooked.
South Asia
Probability: Highly Likely
India is one of the race's "Old Faithfuls." Time and again they take contestants there, and it still produces some of the most profound, emotional, and exciting legs of each of the seasons that it's featured. Although I know that there are many different cultures within India, let alone each of the surrounding nations within the region, the average American viewer most likely does not- so, places like Bangladesh (not likely due to visit in S21), and Sri Lanka are nearly completely interchangeable with India. One of the three is bound to be featured this season. Nepal and Maldives could also host a leg or two each, as well. Those two may be featured sooner than we all think.
Europe:
Britain-low possibility
Eastern(Bulgaria)-high
Czech Republic,Hungary,Germany,Austria(low)-Serious flood and rainfall
Portugal-high
Finland-high
Asia:
China-low
Phillipines,Laos-high
Malaysia(Sabah)-relatively high
Nepal-high
Middle East-low
Armenia-Not really
South America
Guyana-low
Brazil-high
Argentina-relatively low
Ecuador-high
South Pacific
Not really
Africa
Tanzania-I do not prefer this
Gabon-Maybe
There are some cities that probably become the first destination:
Rio de Janeiro
Seoul
Paris
Sydney
Hong Kong
I can see a load of legs in Europe and Asia, tbh.

Didn't they spend like almost half of 22 in Europe? Well, yeah I still expect Europe but not as much.
so, no race again today? :'(
Spec: Another set of female twins? :lol3:Oh, please no! After the quitters, Twinnies, Elliot & Andrew, and the blondies, I'm tired of twins. Maybe an interesting pair of sisters with Mary & Peach personalities would be most likely at this point.
PANAMA OR COSTA RICA OR EVEN GUATEMALA :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
How about Nicaragua ???
When does filming start, if anyone knows?
Today is the day!foreverhoping,
Has the race started???
