Good work! I was looking at all the later locations and not finding it. It didn't occur to me to check the early legs.

"We" figured out that in some of those early seasons, the distance were more accurately understood if figured as kilometers, and not miles.

I wonder if they have done quotes in km instead of miles.  The only season I ever bothered adding up was Season 5, and I was able to arrive at a number pretty close to their 72,000+ by including ALL distinct connections for all teams combined.  For example, when teams flew from CCU - AKL, all teams took the first flight to BKK but diverted after that, so I counted BKK-SIN-AKL and BKK-SYD-AKL separately.  If teams took the same route, even if at different times, the routing only counted once.  That was the only way I was able to approximate the quoted total distance.

Yea, season 5 was more like 72,000 km and not miles. :/

Yes. But it is taking longer than expected since some of the team is not available just now.

Hope we can get you more soon, maybe by the first part of the week.

No more? :( Was the Philippines spoiler the last one? Oh well, it's still one heck of a spoiler for the confirmation of a "My Ox is Broken" Switchback :)

There is a photo in the live sightings that indicates where the Finish Line was, Point Vicente, the southwesternmost point of Los Angeles County.

Found a new, confirmed location!

Just a teaser before I post the details when I sober up tomorrow morning...

Durian?

 :peek

That should be fun.

I believe there will be a task afterward which makes the teams eat the durian. ;)
Plus, it would be TAR24-esque to have teams deliver a large fruit somewhere and not enjoy the funky flavors.

Actually, it would be hilarious to have them carry around the durian the entire leg like a Travelocity gnome!

They'd be disallowed on public transport, refused by taxi drivers, abhorred by all kinds of high establishments, and creating all sorts of hijinks with locals wondering what the crazy Americans are doing with a durian on their backpacks...

??? I wonder if someone from production has read this and is kicking themselves in the butt or casting their head down in shame for not thinking of this task :funny:

:lol: I had no idea durian was that appalled. Hopefully someone will have a "Charla & Mirna in Warsaw" moment and make a memorable quote we shall enjoy for ages.

So the final 4 is confirmed but final 3 is not right?
Did we ever get the live coverage of the final leg?

There was a sighting at LAX of the three teams waiting for a taxi, and I am 89.9% sure the only F/F team remaining that reached the final 4 was the final team eliminated before the final Leg.
