If the all-female team is one of those who didn't get the penalty, that could save them!
Oliveira said
Looks like the last two teams will have penalties because they use the train/metro

So the FF team"s chance is really slim now. Plus there has never been a leg 10 non-elim right?

Have we confirmed that the FF team was eliminated? They may be last, but there's an extremely slim chance it could've been a NEL.
 :pray:

As for the metro though, iirc and iinm, there was a photo of them at what looks like the inside of a train?

I think France can be safely excluded since the county host the UEFA Euro 2016 right now.

On top of that, we just got France 3 seasons in a row.

I doubt that the women's team was saved.  F10 NELs have never happened, and especially leg-two NELs haven't happened on any TAR season except for Ukraine's version.  So I think they're out.

I'm a bit confused at how there's only one, though.  Weren't there ten men and twelve women?  That should've left room for at least two to form, not just one.

No, eleven men and women. That's why we have 1 M/M, 1 F/F and 9 M/F.

The original post of 12 females and 10 males was probably a mistake due to the long-haired guy. :lol:

We didn't know either, we were blessed to have Numfar and Oliveira on hand!

Tbh, elimination station would be interesting to watch this season. Do you think TAR will bring it back?

Costs $$$, So...probably not. But we loved it, it was a great loss when they stopped.

Though there must be Route Info missing before Detour, as our first sighting was already of teams in metro heading there. Considering how far is the airport, there must have been another clue that had them in a cab into the city.

Interesting, because the Metro Map mentions how to get to the airport using the Metro.   :snicker:  I doubt, however, the racers are going to mess with a metro AND bus ride, so end up taking a cab as usual.  Oh well.   :grins:

That's actually info for CGR, not the international airport. Well, not anymore.
They surely arrived from GRU from PTY, which is at least an hour drive to get into the center of the city.
But the new info Peach just sent me, seems to check out, and seems to justify the missing time on 06/12 (the leg probably started the morning of the 12th), and it does link up to why teams were spotted in Metro stations near Paulista heading to Detour spot further more into the center of the city.

Just a random thought, could the window-washing RB be similar to the one on TAR6 Shanghai? They clean to find a word in the window?

Tried seeing if there were words on the windows but nothing viewable from the ground. If there was something to find probably inside the offices from the building, that had to found viewed through the window.

There must be something more detailed involved, as I was leaving, and did pass by the RB spot, and it seemed like that a team had to redo it.

Instituto CERVANTES could be foreshadowing to sending teams to Spain? I am flying there tomorrow morning, so let me know for anything if they happen to go there.

Awesome!! My mistake on the RB photo that is actually first 4 not last 4.

Yes please post the MAP!! We love MAPS!!

It would be a big help if you could add in the pics that go with these descriptions right here too, I am really confused about who was spotted where and when.

And based on Panama sightings, I think the first two of those flights are the most likely.

Thanks again for a great day!

I got a question on the pitstop arrival.

At first Oliveira said the 4th team to check in was a male and a blonde but later identified the team as team 3 which does not match the description. So which team checked in fourth?

Logic tells me team 5 because they were the first 4 at the roadblock.

Seems like Team 3 placed 6 based on the pitstop pic

It seems like the 3rd leg is still held in Brazil, South America.

I'm speculating that they might head to South Africa for Leg 4. It is overdue for a visit after all. Is Angola safe for a visit though? It might be our new country this season.
