Any idea who got eliminated?  Sure hope it wasn't any of the all-female teams!

Total Spec
In the lives, there were 4 taxis waiting. Cameron and Darius departed and took one. Assuming these are the only taxis left, Cameron and Darius are in 8th place.
On another note
Assuming teams already checked at this time, the team at the pitstop is on the lower end.
Assuming teams did not check in already, the team at the pitstop is on the higher end.

Thanks Xarles for the sightings!

In the Pit Stop pictures, I see Scott & Blair, the Father-Daughter team. They are the only ones wearing light gray

Upper end= 1st-6th

I think leg 1 had a extended Pit Stop, I assume they'll be heading to Europe in Leg 2.

It's just a speculation, we won't know where they are going next until we spot them on site. But last time after they're going to Mexico (TAR 3), they're heading to Europe next. So I'm kinda speculating that they're gonna skip South America this season, also with the fact that in TAR 27 they'd gone to Brazil and Argentina for 3 legs. :)

Maybe a new countries of Belize/Guatemala/Nicaragua/Caribbean countries or Cancun, Mexico/Costa Rica/Jamaica/Puerto Rico/Panama might revisited at leg 2, idk?


Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia and Venezuela was seems too dangerous for TARUS to visit.

Uh you forgot Mexico, which is also dangerous due to the Mexican Drug War and various other drug trafficking syndicates, yet TAR 28 made a comeback to the country  :waves:

I'm sorry to tell you this guys, but after running with the race for more than 24 hours in a row without sleep (not complaining, just best experience ever), discovering almost all locations (except for the Great Bulls of Fire) having had great fun, traveled almost 200 kms without previous notice in public transportation and being as exhausted as I am, when I come back to the forum and find lots of ill-informed comments on security of countries I have to make this statement.

The second most used language on the free internet is Spanish, and an internet-stars-based race couldn't miss (at least) one of the two most populous nations that speak Spanish, Mexico, never minding that it is in an "imaginary violence black list". Violence in Mexico is bad, unacceptable and happens in very remote areas of an enormous territory.

Mexico, at least, is free of terrorism, police doesn't kill our citizens and there are no massive school shootings. Yes, 47 students were killed in a confusing confrontation between police and drug traffickers in the remote town of Iguala last year, bad things happen everywhere, but that shouldn't be a justification to demonize a whole country and I am sure that The Race took that into consideration.

The true dangerous countries black list is the one measured in HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of deaths from terrorism in the largest cities, such as Paris, France; London, UK; Madrid, Spain; New York, USA and so on. But even worse than that is the countries black list where almost thousands of deaths happen at the hands of its own police or in massive school shootings all over.

Facts

Washington Post: On-duty police officers have shot and killed more than 700 people JUST THIS YEAR in the USA https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/09/17/on-duty-police-officers-have-shot-and-killed-more-than-700-people-this-year/ and this number doesn't account for school shootings.

Almost all of Europe is under a terrorism watch.

I'm not giving you any more facts because things must be clear enough by now and victims are to be respected and not plainly used as numbers in a discussion.

It is the US and European media (replicated all over the world) that have made a sport at demonizing Mexico for it so called "insecurity". I admire and respect TAR for having come back to Mexico after 25 seasons and am sure they are quite aware of facts and they do not mistake Mexico for Syria or Afghanistan.

I always pray that nothing happens to anyone and The Race when they are in terrorism-targeted countries. Police in Mexico has been famous for its corruption, but things change and they can only change for good after having hit rock bottom. I do not accept corrupt police and I would certainly accept less police forces that the numbers let me call assassins.

Lets make this the end of discrimination for countries and the celebration that the race is aware of it and just enjoy it as it will surprise us with its next destination, a first!

PS: None of the locations in Mexico City (DF) and Teotihuacan (MEX) were cordoned-off, surrounded by security forces or anything like that. I didn't see any security AT ALL. I already mentioned that in another post. And I am very happy that it all happened that way, even in the traditionally pick-pocket plagued Plaza Garibaldi (Mariachi Madness).

As you all saw, the Monument of the Revolution was lit in blue the night of the race and that was just part of how Mexico City felt that night, violence is simply not tolerated:

^^ Definitely agree with you Xarles. Thanks for all your hard work providing us detailed info about Leg 1. I'm absolutely happy that Mexico gets another visit after 25 Seasons. A friend of mine went to Mexico last year and they never had a single problem. I'm curious if we'll get a second leg in Mexico like the one in Season 3 or maybe another Central American country, I remember there was a planned leg in Belize in Season 25 and was swapped with the U.S. Virgin Islands leg.

Actually, I have never known that Mexico is considered as dangerous by some countries. One of my friends just traveled to Mexico last month, too so I think it is a safe country.
I think unsafe countries are countries where there are wars, conflicts, disaster, disease... at the moment.

Thank you Xarles!! If I could sticky that post I would.

Ignorance is one thing, still we can all grow and learn. One of things I love best about the Amazing Race is how we all are constantly exposed to new places, new locations, new cultures, new foods, new traditions...the list is endless.

Right now mindless violence is endemic everywhere. EACH of us needs to educate ourselves, be open to new experiences and traditions.


The World is a small place really. We are all neighbors. Reach out, open your hearts, LOVE.

Person to Person,  we can each make a difference EVERY DAY.

Maybe they are on a long bus ride to Cancun or Belize. Maybe the Monarch Butterfly Reserve near Mexico city.
