Absolutely NOT. This is a working thread for sorting out spoilers. Thanks for asking!

It's a fairly obvious point, but the flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap arrived at 8:10 PM. The racers were seen at Ankhor Wat the next day. Therefore, I conclude there was an HOO for the teams to wait out.

Unless the production team made the racers take a flight from Ho Chi Minh City the next morning (there were a couple of choices) so they could get ahead of the racers.

So we have Legs in Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket and Siem Reap, Cambodia so far?

I believe this will be the second time that the Amazing Race Australia has been in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.

I checked the twitter account of Grant and his last post was 3 days ago. I don't think we missed the start by that much.

Why does the clue envelopes look like they have some sort of Asian symbols or is this just me?

They do look different but I think it's just a different font and it still says "The Amazing Race Australia"

It isn't surprising me that we aren't getting that much spoilers. 7's in house production company usually really good with keeping spoilers for their other reality shows under wraps (My Kitchen Rules which is also produced in house has about half of their episodes filmed in public (for the People's Choice and Food Truck challenge's) and we have heard no spoilers online for them.)

I think the sitting lady in the Siem Reap pub street pic is having a fish massage. Pure spec, but its quite common in Cambodia and the Siem Reap pubstreet area.

JSM is right about the fish massage being super common on Pub Street (had one there myself. Weirdest feeling ever), but I don't believe the photos are showing that. I think they're just showing the ladies in a tuk tuk.

No leg confirmed for Vietnam yet, Ho Chi Minh was probably a connection to Siem Reap.

That's what I was thinking too. They flew from Sydney to Siem Reap with a layover in Ho Chi Minh City. I don't think there was enough time for a night leg in Ho Chi Minh City and a leg the next day at Ankhor Wat.

There is the off chance of a TBC leg 1 (Sydney to Ho-Chi-Minh to Ankhor Wat) but the odds of that happening is low (10-15%)

So Leg 4 in Namibia I take it? So far that means we have Africa and Asia. Decent route so far.

I thought I'd throw out some speculation as to where TAR Australia might be after leaving Namibia yesterday. A few weeks back, I saw a tweet from someone who thought they saw an Amazing Race production team at the airport in Nairobi. He seemed to think they were traveling on to somewhere else from Nairobi. So, I've been expecting a leg in Africa, but not in Namibia! If they were traveling to Namibia, I'd expect them to go through Johannesburg. I was expecting a leg in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda or some other part of Kenya (maybe Ngorongoro Crater). So, given that they left Namibia yesterday, they could be in one of those countries today (unless it was yesterday afternoon). Anyone searching might want to keep an eye on those areas. Unfortunately, my time will be limited today but will try to catch up tonight. :(

I think that Leg one will be in the Auckland area (unless they had several starting tasks before flying)
Legs two and three look like they're in Siem Reap and Phuket.
Leg four is in Namibia.

This is a great route! It's MUCH better than TAR 24......

I had some info suggesting a NZ start...clearly wrong. Looks like Sydney.

But...perhaps that means a NZ finale? ???

Totally because they flew out of Sydney.
Oops. Awkward for me.... :groan:

Finally! An awesome route! Haha screw Tar 24 :P

So from my understanding, legs 1 & 2 are in Siem Reap, leg 3 is in Phuket, and leg 4 is in Namibia. I personally think that leg 5 will also be in Namibia. One leg could be on the Skeleton Coast and the other in a type of safari leg, such as Etosha National Park.

Also, I believe Namibia is going to be the only African country visited. After this they'll probably go up to Europe and from there to the Americas.

Just as long as they don't loop back around to Australia via Asia like Season 1, the route has a lot of potential. <3 :P
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥
