Everyone is ready for TAR 23, right?? :hearts:

But...WAIT!! Are you REALLY ready??

Have you read and reread the LIVE feed tips and rules? If not, do it NOW!!
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,28799.msg875263.html#msg875263

Do you know what RFF will and won't reveal PRE -start??

Do you know how to search Twitter and Facebook and Instagram/Flickr/etc for info/pics?
Do you know how to SHARE that info here? Can you post and label a picture? If not, NOW is the time to learn!! Lots of info in the support thread!
 
Can you search for flights? (Redwings' games taught me how!!)

Do you know how to reach me if WHEN  :lol: my inbox is full?? Do I care what time it is if you have news?
 
IF TAR comes to your neighborhood, are you ready? Camera charged and WITH you? Extra phone battery or charger with you at all times? Have you teamed up with a buddy and learned the fastest way to your closest airport/train station/bus station??
 
You have a LITTLE time to get ready...so ALL you TAR-lovers, we are counting on you!!

Gah! Final thoughts and predictions:

Eastern Asia:
Probability: Definite

China
Probability: Likely
Although I wouldn't be surprised if it got featured, I personally don't get a "WE'RE GOING TO CHINA AGAIN THIS SEASON!" vibe. There isn't much to base this off of, just a gut feeling- a hunch, if you will.

Eastern/Northern Asia
Probability: Likely
South Korea, despite the ever present 'threat' posed by their Northern neighbors, would rank high on my list from this general area. Japan, is very possible too. Would love to see Eastern Russia (Irkutsk, Lake Bikal, Vladivostok, etc.) featured, or a return to Mongolia, but my bet is that they're not in the cards for this season.

South East Asia
Probability: Duh!
With the general pattern that there is, I would not be surprised if there was yet another Thailand *cough cough* Bangkok *cough* visit (Hopefully this time with Laos)... Is Myanmar ready for a visit yet? I would start to lean towards no, personally... Malaysia/Singapore haven't been visited in a while, nor has Hong Kong/Macau. Taiwan doesn't seem likely as of yet (visited in S19). NO. INDONESIA. KTHNXBAI. And finally, the Philippines- Brunei and East Timor will def not get a leg, Cambodia doesn't seem exciting enough comparatively- I believe that the Philippines will definitely get a visit somewhere in the next three seasons (whether it's this one or not, we will soon find out).

South Pacific
Probability: Unlikely
Only country I can really see is Australia- Melbourne and Tasmania, to be exact. Papua New Guinea may have a really outside chance, but with 3 legs in Oceania last season (two of which were on tropical, Polynesian Islands), I really can't see much else from here being featured quite this season.

Europe:
Britain-low possibility
Eastern(Bulgaria)-high
Czech Republic,Hungary,Germany,Austria(low)-Serious flood and rainfall
Portugal-high
Finland-high

Asia:
China-low
Phillipines,Laos-high
Malaysia(Sabah)-relatively high
Nepal-high
Middle East-low
Armenia-Not really

South America
Guyana-low
Brazil-high
Argentina-relatively low
Ecuador-high

South Pacific
Not really

Africa

There are some cities that probably become the first destination:

Hi, I am from the Czech Republic and I can confirm that there are some serious floods... but only in certain regions. Prague, Central & North & South Bohemia are most affected. The same is with German/Slovakian/Austrian/Hungarian regions.

"It's like - there are some floods in Florida, don't travel to New York, it's dangerous."  ;)

Didn't they spend like almost half of 22 in Europe? Well, yeah I still expect Europe but not as much.

4 out of 12 legs, yeah, I would think a little less, maybe 3 Europe Legs, 5-6 Asia LEgs

What I meant is that South America could have 3 legs, and with recent visits to Africa and Oceania (S22), the rest will surely be in Europe and Asia.

Still holding out. I can recall a west coast start where the first siting didn't appear until 10/11 Eastern.

Seems like everyone's doing it, so here are my predictions:

America's:
Ecuador
Bahamas
Dominican Republic
Brazil
Uruguay
Chile

Europe:
Iceland
Poland
Finland
Italy
Ukraine
Bulgaria

Africa:
If it has to be anywhere, it'd be South Africa or Angola.

Asia:
India & China (because it wouldn't be the amazing race without them)
Sri Lanka
Maldives
Nepal
Qatar
Kazakhstan
Mongolia
South Korea
Philippines
Laos

No Oceania expected, but Australia has an outside chance.
Most of the locales of tar 23 should be in there.

South Korea is more than likely a big no-no with the whole North Korea thing.

At this point I think we can rule out Turkey being visited this season.

How about Mexico? The situation here is a lot better than it used to be a couple of years ago...
Besides, since Latin America most likely will be featured in this race, i think they should leave those legs for the last part of the race instead of featuring them in the beginning like they almost always do.

Oh, please no! After the quitters, Twinnies, Elliot & Andrew, and the blondies, I'm tired of twins. Maybe an interesting pair of sisters with Mary & Peach personalities would be most likely at this point.

For some reason, I sense an all-granny team this season! :hrt: :hrt: :hrt:
