Also, forgot to add, if the picture was posted by Phil not long ago (i.e. after the presumed end of the Krakow leg), he could just be leaving the country with production to the next destination to get in front of the teams.

I mean, it's a possibility.

Hey, I'm a bit lost here probably, but since Zimbabwe is June 30 and Paris is only July 3, could there be a leg in between? Or is there no possibility for that due to travel and flight durations?

Perhaps travel time and flights. ???

And also, I don't think anyone else has brought it up yet, but one of the first 4 legs is not an elimination, because Peach confirmed that 8 teams were racing in Zambia (leg 5).

Which could be a sign for an F4 finale again...?

I don't see how it could be a sign for that - with the F4 finale, we either have a NEL on leg 11 and then 4 teams start leg 12, or the 4th team is eliminated on leg 11 and we have the usual F3 start leg 12.

Unless I don't understand something, the other NELs don't seem to make a difference.

I know I mentioned once that there's a NEL before Leg 5. I forgot where though. ???
As for the possibility of an F4 NEL, I think... not this season. It's becoming too predictable. :umn:

Idk...I smell Tasmania...  blahblah

It is not like these are all new unestablished tweeters. But yeah, a couple of pics would be nice!

Looks like Mr. Keoghan himself provided one!  Thanks, Phil! #startingtobuypolandnow

I also think it's becomming predictable but with no NEL/TBC until Leg 5 and Paris (leg6) probably being a KOR, we might have to have 3 nels on the legs 6-11...if they put the NEL/KOR legs on 6/8/10 it would seem weird and kinda rushed...so i'm betting on another F4

What are you even saying? Marionete just confirmed one of the first four legs is a NEL.

Uh... that's obvious. Unless: What if it's a Zero Hour Pit Stop instead? ??? Unlikely, but there's a slim chance, around 5-10%.

Xarles is right, that picture was taken from a plane that had just taken off (or coming in to land if he had waited a while to post it) at Krakow Int'l airport. 

The village at the bottom of Phil's picture is Czułów, a few miles southwest.

Well, you shouldn't really give me any credit for that, I just made the obvious conclusion. Peach confirmed leg 5 in Zimbabwe had 8 teams racing (and it was an elimination, but doesn't matter), so it's impossible for all of the first 4 legs to be eliminations, because then they would have 7 teams in Zimbabwe - contrary to what Peach confirmed.

Therefore, it's a NEL/KOR/ZHPS in either leg 1 (probably not, but still remains a possibility), leg 2, leg 3 or leg 4. Because we all assume (or is it confirmed?) that Paris (leg 6) is a KOR, the non-elimination before that (in the first 4 legs) is probably a simple NEL and not another KOR. But that is just speculation.

Now, they could simply have another non-elimination in any of legs 8-11 and we have a normal F3 final leg. Or, if they decide to do the predictable thing again, there will be a leg 11 KOR in addition to that to start the final leg with 4 teams.
That's all I can deduce.

I'm trying to catch up and need a bit of help.  Who is looking like they're still in?  I have a pretty good idea from reading this thread as to who's been tossed, but who's still in?

Looks like the Chacs may still be in, and Tanner & Josh may be the last male team standing.

Other than that, don't know, the photos of racers/descriptions has been kinda lacking since Paris.

From the back, he totally looks like "young Phil" from the early seasons! Not so much from the front.

For me it's more like:

INDIA!   (:;)  (:;)

It has the second most Pit Stops (15), it's an overused country =/ If the following country is China (which holds the record, 18) then in my eyes they really dropped the ball on the tail end of this route.

If this seasons is trying to recreate some of the classic tar routes (Zambia, France, Rio), then maybe they will visit the Taj Mahal again! The city of Agra is in Uttar Pradesh, which Peach confirmed  :cheer:  Be on the lookout for Taj Mahal!
