The RB would seem to be the Eloy Chaves building (streetview here).

It is. If you rotate the view to the other side of the avenue, you can see the same green building from the pics of the other teammates waiting.

Nope. It was actually the other side of the street.

Yup I was cloae enough to hear: "Joey and Tara you are team #7"

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.

If the all-female team is one of those who didn't get the penalty, that could save them!

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?

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:

There are flights from South America to Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesia but they are quite expensive.


Well surprisingly for now the flights to Africa (South Africa to be exact) are actually more expensive than the flights to Australia/New Zealand IF they fly via Air New Zealand just under $900 per person iirc as opposed to other airline need to spend $1000+ per person but it's only available on Tuesday/Friday/Sunday.


Or else yeah it's more expensive fly to Aus/NZ than South Africa, but it just SLIGHTLY expensive with no vast price difference.


Despite I think we're most likely having eastward route again, but don't lose your hope there's still have possibilities having Westwards route by going to Aus/NZ which both countries are overdue now for another visit since their last visit was TAR18/TAR22 respectively.

Congonhas is São Paulo's domestic airport, teams would have arrived at Guarulhos Airport which is much further away.

If anyone REALLY thinks they are going to Africa, I have some lovely oceanfront property for you in Nevada.

Production would never give an honest answer to that Question.

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


Scandinavia/Baltic/Central/Eastern Europe are my bet for this season Europe visit, or even maybe insert some underused countries visit like Ireland/South East Europe.


But since they haven't leave South America yet, so anything is possible to happen.

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?
