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

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.

South America i believe. The Amazing Race 7.. and a few more i think. So it's not entire impossible. Isn't it always boring to end in Asia? :cmaslol

Maybe because it's a type of "all stars" race they are only visiting repeat countries, but I suspect that we may be looking at a new country in South America.

Edited to add Boliva and Uruguay. TAR hasn't been to any other countries in SA.....Given their use of land travel and short distances between legs......I would guess two legs in Uruguay and Argentina...It is a short ferry ride from Buenos Aires to Montevideo or vice versa.

It just doesn't make sense to go deep into South America, but any of the following countries could be theoretically possible:

(French) Guyana
Suriname

From there, maybe a Caribbean destination to get that 8th country.

I'm still inclined to think Africa, though.

It would be interesting to see them go to South America before returning to America.

I wonder if they would consider Africa for the 10th leg and then South America for the 11th leg.

Probably not to save costs. And what is stopping them from staying in Europe for the remainder of the race?

When they go westward, they usually do stay in Europe before returning to the States. We're merely hoping that they won't this time.

There are non stop flights from many European cites (London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, Amsterdam, Rome, Madrid and Lisbon) to the countries in South America that TAR has visited before. For the most part, these flights are red-eye overnight flights, but there are a few daytime flights.

Destination cities in Brasil are Fortaleza, Receife, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Rio, Sao Paulo. Other cities in South America with direct non stop flights are Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, Lima, Guyaquil, and Quito.

With the exception of the first 3 cities listed for Brasil, all the other cities listed have direct, non stop, overnight, red-eye flights back into the US. Most of the flights arrive around sunup, +/- 2 hours.

USA End City possiblities are Dallas, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, DC Dulles, NYC JFK and Newark. There might be a couple more, but I just got tired of looking.


Edited to add Newark.

Thanks for looking anyway, Doc! At least we now know that Europe>South America is a possibility.

Posts by Dr. Rox suggest that the most recent leg is Chur, Switzerland. Irrespective of the accuracy of that, there are frequent flights (at least every 2 hours) from Vienna to Zurich that take about 1.5 hours. The Swissrail IC train from Zurich Flughafen to Zurich Hbf takes 12 minutes and runs at least twice every reasonable hour and the IC train from Zurich HBF to Chur runs about every hour and takes 1.5 hours. That gives a total trip time of advance for airport checkin (maybe 1.5 hours), 1.5 hours in flight, an average of 0.5 hours including schedule delay to Zurich Hbf and 1.5 hours plus schedule delays from Zurich Hbf to Chur. That totals a minimum of about 5 hours.By itself, that doesn't help us much until we know more about what the pit stop release time in Vienna was and what the tasks in Chur were.

Unless she's saying the race is over which it isn't. Which seems more applicable since she said today.

Who knows, it could have two meanings purposely, but re-look at the post..

You are going to have to take this on faith, but

RIO! today!
She never says they are racing in Rio.

since there is a good 3-4 day gap between the finish of the leg in Switzerland and them arriving in Rio today, there certainly has to be another Euro leg somewhere

the question is where in Europe would they go?

the most likely i think are:
second leg in Switzerland
Northern Italy (Torino, Milano)
Western Germany (Mannheim, Frankfurt, Stuttgart)
and France (really anywhere in there, but maybe Lyon?)

there's also a slight possibility of them hopping on a flight and heading to the British Isles, Iberia, Benelux, or even Scandanavia
