I don't they are more probable, but we do see two cities there.

When was the last time that the two legs before the finale were in the same country?

Almost every time they visit India they have two legs just like with Africa and anywhere in South America. That actually seems more likely to me.
Physics alone is not enough.

2 India legs:S4,S7,S13,S18
1 India leg:S1,S5,S10,S12,S14
And they have at least 2 legs at east Asia almost every season...

Peach, I can see what you are saying. I went to Tanzania on a school trip once (to aid the people), and the people were so warm, and the scenery was beautiful! :hearts:

Season 1 definitely had two India legs.

Almost every time they visit India they have two legs just like with Africa and anywhere in South America. That actually seems more likely to me.
2 India legs:S4,S7,S13,S18
1 India leg:S1,S5,S10,S12,S14

I really hope that you are right, two legs in Japan could be so cool. And i think that Japan is a country there deserves two legs in a row. We know that Osaka is 100 % true, so my wish is that they also go to Kyoto and Kobe!!!! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

My database on past Amazing Race seasons indicates these 2 full-leg segments in India:
AR1
AR4
AR7
AR18

The India visits that were only one full-leg segment were AR5, AR10, AR12, AR13 and AR14.

So I guesstimate that there is about a 50% chance of having 2 2 full India segments in AR20.

I think there was 2 full-leg segments in AR13, legs 6 and 7 ( Nick & Starr won both of them). :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess:

I don't care who won them, but TARFANSurvivor is correct that there were 2 legs in AR13. I saw just Delhi in my database and made the wrong assumption.

Not just cuz im a fan and i dont follow the other teams if they are twitter or other social media but after following them for over 2 yrs their is just something about them post TAR.Obviously they haven't said anything or hinted how they have done.But i do notice brendon has spent less time on social media and even Rachel is not on that much, i think that it is a way not to accidently tell people if they won.Since post race she has started her new project with her sister now i know she was going to start it,but i would start if i knew i had won a lot money,thats just me?And just other little things like that make me think they won.Now they could just be happy cuz they came in 2nd and had a great time together but just a gut feeling they won.Plus they need the money more then the other two teams i think are in the top 3 since Rachel doesnt have a steady job and Brendon is doing his PHD plus they need to support Benz!

Other things I have gathered from Rachel's twitter and other public statements that make me think that the couple have recently come into more money than just the $500K (~$350K after taxes) that Rachel won on Big Brother:
  • They are looking to buy a house near the UCLA campus... a very expensive area for housing.
  • Brendon recently replaced the cheap ring he proposed with more than a year ago, with an antique diamond and ruby ring (while commenting, "we have a little more money now").
  • Rachel recently announced that they have picked a location and set a date for their wedding.
  • Despite the above listed expenses and the fact that Brendon is going to be a low paid PhD student for the next several years, Rachel doesn't appear to be looking for a job, but is instead taking improv classes at Second City, starting a web site business with her sister, and doing a fair amount of traveling with friends, her sister, and other family.

All of this makes me think that they either got paid a fairly large sum just to be on Amazing Race and/or at a minimum they finished in 2nd place and got that money ($100K?), if not first place and the cool million $.

No one gets any money until the show is completed. :)

That wouldn't change much for Brenchel if they won... they would have their Big Brother money to spend while making plans with the knowledge that twice as much is coming within a few months.

They get paid when they do a guest appearance on a soap opera, or other types of celebrity appearances.

And there may be other things we just don't know about yet having nothing to do with TAR. And the housing market is southern California, as in some other real estate markets hit hard by the mortgage market collapse, means that deals can be found even as the market continues to recover, slowly.

I wonder what sort of dire situation would have to occur to actually make Rachel look for a real job? :funny:

[...]the housing market is southern California, as in some other real estate markets hit hard by the mortgage market collapse, means that deals can be found even as the market continues to recover, slowly.

Unfortunately, in that area (UCLA/Westwood) even in the current depressed market, for a small 2 bedroom 1,000sq. ft. condo or apartment, a "deal" is several hundred thousand dollars to half a million or more.  :groan:  Housing in that area was outrageously unaffordable before the crash... now it's just ridiculously expensive.
