aryanisetiawan, way too early to know, It is possible we might get a true circumnavigation of the Earth with the end city being NYC as well, just as seasons 1 (NYC), 6 (Chicago), and 9 *Denver) were.

Could the leading teams have taken a ferry to Cruz Bay, St. John Island after arriving in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas? I did a bit of research on the two feasible islands and St. John is rich in both sugar plantations and HISTORIC ("Be a part of history") estates. From Cruz Bay, they could self-drive to the plantations to do a Roadblock pertinent to the island's sugarcane industry. After the Roadblock, they could drive to one of the many estates hidden in the tropical paradise.

It could be a long shot since production was a cheapskate in TAR24, but it's a smart slam dunk for making Leg 1 fresh and enjoyable.

Knowing that it doesnt start in cali. Could it mean its going to end in california like season 17
The Race could end Philippines > Korea > San Francisco.  Direct Korean flights arrive midday at SFO  :yess:

Plane lands in the water, we go to see what's up/if they need help. It's Amazing Race filming. Pretty cool, even if I've never seen the show

Asked for more info. Her reply:

Rasberi Runner ‏@RasberiRunner 1 min

@strainosaleij they started in STT, and we saw them around a tiny BVI island. Never saw the show...not sure which team

So they did leave the country! And heading to the British Virgin Islands would help in getting to London, probably!

Trying to follow the tweeter's posts and Facebook (online stalking is a real thing), and the island Jost van Dyke pops up as a real possibility...

Near St Thomas is BVI Jost Van Dyke with a pop of 300 and Filmed in Kenny Chesney video,  charcoal pits and charcoal exports, marina, and Soggy Dollar Bar's Painkiller drink.

From what I'm thinking, either Misti & Jim or the Biker Girls.

How do you know? You weren't in St Thomas, so you can't exactly say that

No way to be sure, but most likely someone on the first flight due to the time gap between the first and second arrivals at Cyril E. King Airport.

First flight isn't even a good indicator because NaNa went home after being on the first flight last season

I suppose the racers are trying to get past that older couple.

Maybe just tourists. The teams seem to run out of airport or something like that.

I wonder where they will have the final leg. Possibly a New York finish but I doubt since we only had one a few seasons ago. Boston and New Orleans are two cities WAY overdue for a final leg.

My guess there is could be a West Coast finish, Seattle, Portland or San Francisco are probably the final cities.

I'm guessing LA too, because the start is almost always there. So it's time for TAR to turn the tables around.

Are you Serious?   :groan:
Tar25Fan was asking a question, and I answered it with who I think MIGHT get it.  I'm in no way saying this is 100% verified information, just a random guess / opinion based on what I think is a possibility.  That's all.   :kuss:

Does anybody know who got the 1st boot at Virgin Islands? Or at least the bottom 3 teams in the 1st leg?
