Hey Chesea, :bigwelcome

We cannot see that photo :(...if you are having trouble you can email  it to me at the address in my profile?

I am confused...are you sure about the teams leaving by train today? Someone else said they were spending the night and flying out tomorrow, and we would dearly love to know which is right. Some of the film crews/production may have left today for sure.

Sounds like you had a great day, we are SO jealous!!

Just gotta be amazed and really thankful at the huge (and really countless) amount of spoilers just for the first leg!

I believe having Australia/Oceania as their first continent of destination is the first time ever in the history of The Amazing Race (US)? Looks like after this the production crew will be SO traumatised that it'll not happen for a LONG time.... We haven't really got so detailed information!

Once again, a huge thank you! I'll be looking forward to this season although I'm not really fond of some of the cast chosen to come back this time. But it does seem like this race may be catered to make it really tougher than usual (so far) unlike Season 11 All-Stars where the real difficulty that levelled up was the flight travels mid-race (due to the Hajj), and the race tasks weren't really more difficult than the standard race route.

Then why all teams spotted on train ? I think they at least will separate the team who emilinated so that they should not appear with other teams.And it looks like  chelleyau  finding 11 teams on train.

Judging if Japan is not the next stop, Tokyo could be very well a transit point to other places in East Asia/North Pacific.  The Russian Far East, Micronesia, and Palau seem very possible to fly out from Narita.

mind you we'd be able to tell the team that was eliminated pretty easily though if they werent on the train - hmmm  :duno:

could there be any kind of possibility of a similar letter sorting task from the first allstars task - as i actually found that task quite interesting with the racers getting letters from some of the teams from there original season - although with that many season 14 teams on the race how would they do it????? :duno:
 
thanks for the welcome

Since the Sydney segment of the first leg was the first half of a TBC, it's entirely possible that if Broken Hill was the end of the leg, it was still an NEL. It would be something we haven't seen before, but there's nothing in the apparent game rules preventing an uberleg from being an NEL.

who decides which countries they're going to? Why there were 17 seasons without visiting Israel??? The all-stars season is the perfect time to come to Israel and as a big fan of the show it's really annoying and very disrespectful to skip Israel each and every time.

One wouldn't think there is a pattern to when they go to a certain country but it does seem that they will go there again this season.

If I'm not mistaken it's still in the travel warning list, so insurance won't cover them.

Scotland seems like a good place to go to. Does anyone remember the last time TAR went there?

I would enjoy seeing them visit Scotland and Ireland instead of visiting Russia and Germany almost every season.
