With the 26,000 miles, 9 countries, and 17 cities thing posted in live, does that mean the race is over?

You forgot Korea.

And whether USA is considered is always debatable. Could leave room for one more... South Africa? Kenya? Vatican?  ???

pure spec LOL

I'm curious to why the route is said to be less miles than Season 28 because it sure looks longer to me. Unless the finale is in Hawaii or Alaska.

I find it fishy how Korea is confirmed despite the fact that there are no sightings, only a Peach card. ??? :o

With the 9-countries news, I'm speculating that Leg 3 could be held in Tanzania or in another part of Brazil.

Nothing is confirmed.

All we have is a  report that some teams were to buy tickets to Seoul. No sightings, no photos. No confirmation.

So at the moment this remains pure spec.

We know that the race should be ending very soon.

So...go find me some sightings!!

Sangam-dong is a neighborhood of Seoul (see map below)

Wikipedia entry for Sangam-dong

Todays weather forecast live from KBS Seoul

A toasty 28C with clouds and rain

the 5 day forecast predicts more rain   :groan:
I'm guessing the rain hindered our chances of them being sighted ???

Also in Sangam-Dong area:

CJ E&M Center (the broadcast and recording centre of many Mnet programmes with a studio audience, namely the live weekly music show M! Countdown)

Mnet also produces Kpop music videos.  hmmmm... a singing challenge?  :funny:  :lala

K-Pop...Yeah, that is a pop culture aspect of Korea not touched on in their previous visits. That would be a hilarious task if they have to sing/dance to it  :funny:

I remember both times, too, they did tasks at the Hantan River near the border with the North. It'd be kind of redundant if they went there again.

Yesterday's live broadcast of M Countdown cancelled due to KCON in NYC


I think kpop cover dance will be highly possible as CJ E&M may arrange some artists to involve in the task

Y'all probably don't care  :hides  but I'm putting this out there Arachova, Greece as probable filming location! Will add more once the Korea/USA excitement is over  :waves:

Assuming the leg in Korea is today, then tomorrow might be the final leg  :conf:
Based on WRP's decisions regarding the ~final flight~ here are some fun options:

- DL 158  ICN DTW 1025 1020
- KE 37    ICN ORD 1040 0935
- OZ 212  ICN SFO 1630 1115
- KE 19    ICN SEA  1820 1235 (this would probably be the latest that I'd see WRP plan to have them in; 21 and 27 both started after 1pm and ended in darkness which is a wash for filming)
- KE 53    ICN HNL  2100 1050

Plus there's a bunch of flights to Tokyo or Hong Kong to theoretically connect elsewhere AND several flights to Los Angeles if, for budgetary purposes, they wish to film somewhere in Los Angeles county (summer in Palm Springs would be mean and thus I like the idea  :snicker:). If there was any indication of Ford sponsorship I'd say Detroit would be an obvious choice but not knowing that I suppose any of these are good places to look at.

Honestly I don't buy the Korea leg yet. Unless I get all the time zones jumbled, the leg should be over and we missed them, which is puzzling. ???

Just some spec:
  • If we accept Arachova, then we should maybe rule out Zulu bungy at Corinth (on opposite shores)
  • Since the Superfast I is a ro-ro ferry, maybe racers drove themselves in Greece and Italy
