Nairobi? The gate signage is different, but compare the WC sign, roof tiling, roof lighting, flight display screen, and the curvature of the terminal.

This means Mark/Bopper, Rachel/Dave, Rachel/Brendon and Nary/Jamie survive until Africa!

OMG Neobie!  :tup: It's perfect!

Dave/Cherie (likely, sadly eliminated in Buenos Aires  :'()
Elliot/Andrew (made it to Paraguay)
Kerri/Stacy, Joey/Danny (made it to Italy)
Art/JJ (likely made it to Tanzania)
Bopper/Mark (likely made it to Tanzania)
Nary/Jamie (beekeeping roadblock in Tanzania)
Vannesa/Ralph (made it to India)
Dave/Rachel (made it to Japan)
Brendon/Rachel (F3, Hawaii) (with a M/M team too, Art/JJ??)

Could Italy be after Azerbaijan? Italy is more down under to reach Africa  :duno:

Zouly,
Basic geography studies latitude and longitude. I am ignoring the longitudinal factors in this analysis. Here are the actual latitude degrees involved:

Turin 45 North

Baku 42 North

Nairobi 1 South

So, a trip from Baku to Turin is a latitude delta of 3. However, then you have a delta of 46 from Turin to Nairobi. From Nairobi, it depends on where a team is going, but a good possibility is Kochin at 10 North, a latitude delta of 11. The total delta is a minimum of 60.

From Turin to Baku is the same 3. From Baku to Nairobi is 43. From Nairobi to the closest point  (again Kochin) is 11. this total is 57, which is much closer than I expected.

So the case against your hypothesis rests on time. The departure from Paraguay on December 1 means that you could reach somewhere in Europe on Dec. 3. There is just not enough time to fly out to Baku, do a leg and fly back, arriving for a leg in Turin on Dec. 4

The argument scene also takes place in Nairobi - or at an airport with a Kenya Airways check-in counter. (I don't know how I managed to read that sign at the back!) So safe till Africa are: Nary/Jamie, Mark/Bopper, Rachel/Dave, Rachel/Brendon, Vanessa/Ralph, and Art/JJ.

With Tanzania is most likely Leg 7 and Turin a NEL, maybe one extra lucky team will make it to Africa, but otherwise we have a good idea of who's eliminated before this!

Yeah, those teams positively made it to Africa. But I think it would be 5 eliminations before Africa, so the first five eliminated teams would be sent to ES after Azerbaijan leg..
both Argentina legs are EL, Paraguay EL, Turin NEL, Germany EL, Azerbaijan EL, one of the Tanzania legs would be a NEL...#purespec

So now we have 7 teams potentially safe through Italy:

Brendan and Rachel (spotted in Hawaii; possible F3)
*Art and JJ (possibly spotted in Hawaii; possible F3)
Dave and Rachel (sighting in Japan; possible F4)
Vanessa and Ralph (promo clip in India; possible F5)
Nary and Jamie (promo clip in *Tanzania; possible F6)
Kerri and Stacy (promo clip in Turin, Italy; possible F8 )
Mark and Bopper (sighting in Turin, Italy, promo in *Azerbaijan; possible F7-8 )

* = Unconfirmed

And with Elliott and  Andrew potentially sighted in Paraguay (pit stop photo), that means it's either Dave and Cherie or Joey and Danny are out next

Then, it's between them and Elliott and Andrew for elimination in Paraguay.

NOTE: If it is indeed Elliott and Andrew in the pit stop photo with Vanessa and Ralph, I am going to infer that V/R checked in BEFORE E/A.  Here's why: we see in Ep. 1 that Dave and Rachel are still on the mat when Brendan and Rachel arrive.  D/R are instructed to move to the right as B/R come in on the left.  Assuming production wants to keep with the continuity, that the scenario seen in the Paraguay photo is the same (V/R check in first, step to the right as E/A check in next).  I make this assumption based off of the fact they have a similar continuing pattern with placement of individuals within a team: the first name in the team (ex. Elliott) will stand on the right, while the second name in the team (ex. Andrew) will stand on the left).  This, upon my recollection, held true for all the teams on leg 1, and appears to hold true for both Elliott and Andrew and Vanessa and Ralph in the Paraguay photo.


Great spec...but IS there a pic with all 4 of them on the mat at once? I only remember the one with what appears to be V/R waiting in the wings. ANd yes, teams sometimes have to wait to check in.

In the photo of the pit stop, it shows both Ralph and Vanessa are ON the mat, not a few feet away (like teams who are waiting out a penalty usually do).

Also, with 6 teams in Nairobi airport, and two other teams in Turin, it's almost certainly (about 95%) E/A getting eliminated here:

I think the team standing behind M/F team is Eilliot/Andrew,they made it to Paraguay.

Wait so it's a sure thing that it's Art behind Rachel (guy with red bandana)? Or is it just a main assumption? And (I think) until we get actual confirmation that it is at an African airport, we won't know for sure since based on the Kenya Airways poster, they could just be connecting at a European airport from Germany to Azerbaijan.
I'm baaaaaack!

I don't believe that anyone else would  be allowed to wear a bandana that was the color of another team.

Kerala is and has been a state within India. Its major city is Kochin to foreigners and Kochi to locals. It was featured in Amazing Race Asia 3, episode 8.

And in TAR4 - the greeter for Leg 7 (the Alleppey leg with the bull pull Road Block) welcomed teams to Kerala.

And the political party posters are a dead giveaway for India, in fact, we had that same type of "clue" the last time the Race went to India. Since all the other clips seem to for this Race, I very much doubt they'd include something from India in a "season preview" unless they were headed there.

Also, a team is shown. That's kind of a giveaway for which season it's in.

On top is the preview cap and on the bottom is a panoramio photo. Although taken from different spots, there are enough similarities to make me think the helo was flying near Punaluu on the eastern shore of Oahu.

If those things (arrow) are log hives, then it's another point in favor of Tanzania. Photo set here.

Maybe the watermelo/honey were detour options.

i thought we decided the watermelon was in PARAGUAY
and honey was in TANZANIA

not many watermelons are produced in the area of africa, its gotta be paraguay

Yes, the people watching are wearing Spanish-language shirts, and if you GIS "watermelon Paraguay" you get some good hits of pyramids.

If someone with maps expertise can confirm it, but pics 15-18 look VERY familiar to me because I vacationed there with my family back in 2008.  It looks like that helicopter is flying over the town of Punaluu or Kaawa.  I also did a search and the only heliport in the area is at Kualoa Ranch OR they could be flying to the Marine Base in Kaneohe.
  :tup: Yes, you have it. I can't confirm it exactly: I looked through this database of obliques and aerials to find something matching the cap below, but drew a blank. But it has to be the Punaluu area.

The watermelon task IS from the Paraguay leg. The yellow shirt that kid is wearing is the away outfit of the Asuncion based football (soccer) club Cerro Porteño.


More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_Porte%C3%B1o

And right next to him, the black shirt that guy is wearing is a commemoratory T-shirt of the international championships won by Cerro Porteño's archrivals, Club Olimpia, with their usual slogan "Campeón hay uno (unseen: solo)", which can be translated as There's only one champion.
