Topic: TAR 28 Speculation and Discussion of **SPOILERS**

[claude_24hrs]

We've got Tyler spotted in ATH at some point on 25 Nov. There's conveniently a nonstop flight from Athens to Yerevan on Wednesdays that would probably be favored over additional connections in Moscow or Kiev, so I'm guessing he and Korey (and probably everyone else) were on

A3 821 GVA ATH 1625 2010
A3 932 ATH EVN 2340 0320 (26th)

#justsaying

Since I ignored and ruled out flight connections to Moscow due to lack of Visa problems for some racers, Zack said that any flight connections to Yerevan from Athens. On that date (11/25), the Aegean Airways flight was the only non-stop flight for that day.

Here are other alternate (spec) flights on that date:

Swiss (LX) 2807 GVA-ZRH 1035-1123
Swiss (LX) 1308 ZRH-ATH 1306-1438
Aegean (A3) 932, see above

Lufthansa (LH) 1215 GVA-FRA 1050-1214
Lufthansa (LH) 1282 FRA-ATH 1335-1723
Aegean (A3) 932, see above

Alitalia (AZ) 575 GVA-FCO 1213-1331
Alitalia (AZ) 718 FCO-ATH 1455-1740
Aegean (A3) 932, see above

See this episode discussion for the flights I marked at the time.

OK since Burnie & Ashley came 2nd on the Armenia leg, so I think we'll likely know they survived the Dubai and Bali leg, but eliminated on Shenzhen leg.

[bottle]

Burnie and Ashley absolutely looks like they will be 2nd next episode too. They were in the picture with Matt and Dana(Dancers,who will obviously finish high next leg),Brodie and Kurt(EP holders) and Zach and Rachel. That will be top 4. Then 5th will be Sheri and Cole because they were seen checking in after them and before Blair/Scott and Tyler/Korey. And it looks like there was a foot race BECAUSE Tyler/Korey and Blair/Scott are in the same shot while checking in and Blair/Scott will be eliminated.

[gamerfan09]

That's a huge possibility Leafsfan!

[claude_24hrs]

So every leg so far has had a plaza/square. Possible memory task?

Leg 1: Monumento a la Revolución (sort of a plaza?)
Leg 2: Plaza Bolívar
Leg 3: Plaza de San Diego
Leg 4: Place du Triangle de l'Amitié
Leg 5: Place Balmat
Leg 6: Republic Square
Leg 7: Freedom Square

What about Broken Chair in Geneva and though is actually a beautiful place?

So, the memory task would be:

Monumento a la Revolucion (Mexico City), Plaza Bolívar and Plaza de San Diego (Cartagena), Broken Chair (Geneva), Place Balmat (Chamonix), Republic Square (Yerevan) and Freedom Square (Tbilisi).

not sure about leg 9, but we had Bajra Sandhi monument in leg 10

I know it was a detour but for Leg1 you could say Plaza Garibaldi also I don't think they'd do a memory challenge on Plazas  but who knows?

not sure about leg 9, but we had Bajra Sandhi monument in leg 10

[ghmorello]

So judging by the timeline & sightings, I'm guessing the bootlist is:
Leg 8: Sheri & Cole NEL'd
Leg 9: Brodie & Kurt eliminated - 6th
Leg 10: Zach & Rachel eliminated - 5th
Leg 11: Burnie & Ashley eliminated - 4th
F3: Tyler & Korey, Sheri & Cole, Dana & Matt
 

I looked at gamerfan09's edgic and when I read their statements about how Dana and Matt are out of the winner edits contention, it tells me that Dana and Matt are likely to finish the race in 3rd.  I believe there maybe a strong chance that Sheri and Cole pulls an Amy and Maya at the end and win it all while Tyler and Korey will probably be 2nd.  We shall see.

[Platrium]

well that spoiler was that I believe that team had last 5 legs in a row in 2nd place so I believe whoever comes 2nd in Armenia that's who gets eliminated and Tyler and Korey definitely won't come 2nd in Georgia because they had footrace to Scott and Blair for last place as seen in sighting

Where did this spoiler of Burnie & Ashley come from again?

[gamerfan09]

Considering the finale is in LA, what are the odds we have a finale task related to social media? =/

[ghmorello]

My idea is teams have to make a video of themselves talking about what they did on the race in one minute.

How is that challenging in any way?

Have them name one place in each leg?

Edgic is not always true. Tyler & Laura didn't have a good edit in late half of the race but they won.

[ianthebalance]

Since Brodie and Kurt look destroyed at the biking detour, perhaps they use the express pass at the detour.

^This.

I got the TAR27 winner right, but I'm not 100% sure this time because of the Laura and Tyler factor in regards to Tyler/Korey. Dana & Matt though, absolutely not winning via their edit.

[georgiapeach]

None

[Marionete]

I agree that the dancers have no shot at winning due to their portrayal.
But I absolutely don't see Tyler & Korey being edited negatively..

[Nyoman_SB1]

I agree that the dancers have no shot at winning due to their portrayal.

I agree with this

If you checked racers' social media, Sheri was the one who always excited and posted many things about the race, like Amy did in season 23 

[Deerhunter]

I agree that the dancers have no shot at winning due to their portrayal.
Dana put a tweet a while ago saying she was disappointed The Amazing Race edited her a certain way.Last season Joey and Kelsey didn't care how they were edited u-turning Team Texas.I think if her and Matt won she wouldn't care how they were portrayed.Just my theory.

In the Season 28 finale episode of The Amazing Race, the final three teams will travel from Shenzen, China, to Santa Barbara, California, for the 1 million dollar prize. During the final leg of the Race, they'll face a gut-wrenching leap of faith, jump off a building that's over 150-feet high, and perform the harrowing task of synchronized mountaineering. Phil Keoghan will host the heart-pounding event.

What the hell is synchronised mountaineering?
