With apparently 6 teams still racing in the Netherlands, do we have any speculation about a possible NEL yet?

chill_sd,

The mathematics of elimination means that there have been either 0 or 1 NELs in the first 5 legs (through Dubai). If there were 12 teams flying to Japan then one NEL has occurred. If there were 11 teams flying to Japan then no NELs have occurred.

Greece, anyone?

This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

That would be perfect and it's long overdue for a visit!
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

That would be cool! 
I think that TAR could definitely still go to Africa. (East)  Kind of like those spontaneous times in TAR 6 and 12.

So if there are 6 teams left....

POSSIBILITY A:
Leg 1: Elimination at Starting Line, Elimination in Japan [10 teams remain]
Leg 2: 9 teams remain
Leg 3: 8 Teams remain
Leg 4: 7 teams remain
Leg 5: 7 teams remain (NEL)
Leg 6: 6 teams Remain

*NEL could be in any spot, but there should be only 1 NL as of Leg 6

POSSIBILITY B:
Leg 1: 11 Teams remain
Leg 2: 10 Teams remain
Leg 3: 9 Teams remain
Leg 4: 8 Teams Remain
Leg 5: 7 teams Remain
Leg 6: 6 Teams Remain

and probably I would love this:
Leg 1: 11 Teams remain
Leg 2: 10 Teams remain
Leg 3: 9 Teams remain
Leg 4: 8 Teams Remain
Leg 5: 7 teams Remain
Leg 6: 7 Teams Remain (NEL)
Leg 7: 6 Teams Remain
Leg 8: 5 Teams Remain
Leg 9: 5 Teams Remain (NEL)
Leg 10: 4 Teams Remain
Leg 11: 4 Teams Remain (NEL)
Leg 12: 3 Teams Remain
Leg 13: FINALS

I really doubt they visited Ho Chi Minh City, even though the blogger reportedly saw the teams at the Reunification Palace. One lone person who saw them isn't enough proof.  Unless we have more proof of the race returning to Vietnam like photographic evidence or more people who eyewitnessed the teams racing through the city, the Vietnam leg of the race will remain uncomfirmed until more proof has surfaced or when CBS reveals the race route a week before the season premiere!

Saw a finishing leg of "The Amazing Race" being filmed outside HCMC's Reunification Palace this morning.

Yes, this sounds accurate but it's not enough proof, teams arriving at the pitstop in the morning especially around 6am is strange because each leg mainly ends in the afternoon to evening depending on the order
of the teams that arrived at the pit stop.  One more thing, aren't both of these "rumoured sightings" by the same person? :duno:

The twitter time is relative to the time on 'your' pc when you access the page.   It is not the local time of twitter poster.

You have to convert the time back to the twitter poster's location to get the time it was posted at that location.

So, for me that means to add 14 hours for conversion to a place like HCMC.

* we stumbled upon the Amazing Race being filmed in Vietnam (both on the Mekong and in HCMC).
* was so excited to take a picture with Phil (the host).
*Second, they were told not to tell anybody that TAR was being filmed here.

Found an intriguing message on Twitter from qgchew who appears to be in Sheffield England.

There must be some treasure hunt/Amazing Race kinda thing going on outside. Lots on people running around aimlessly with backpacks & maps

Could be TAR, could be almost anything. I've tweeted back for more info, but I'll probably go to bed soon.

Plaidmoon

Update: I see Puddin is on it too and tweeted back before me. I hope I don't scare him off.

I'm in the UK. I doubt it's the Amazing Race. Too many contestants, around 80+ of them. Huge group!
