Good to know! We'll be getting into Penn Station around 8:30 and should be at the park at 9:00. I haven't seen any additional info about where in the park it'll be, but my guess is the arch.

It's been some time since the last cast with either four all-male teams and/or two all-female teams, leading to an educated guess of four non-crossover co-eds to round it out.

I'm gonna say no based on that one large girl in the purple. As terrible as this sounds :( ...they have almost never cast people of that kind of carriage. I can only think of that team that went out first in Season 4.

Could these be the teams behind Phil?


I don't think so. I counted 19-20 persons. If there are 11 teams X 2 = 22 people. They might be fans/superfans of the Race. Isn't it that teams are sequestered prior to the actual start.

I thought it was England, or was it United Kingdom? No wait, it's Great Britain!  :argue:

So far, if Ireland probably is the first destination, there are direct flights from JFK to Dublin between the evening.

Idk where to post this, but were Jessica & Cody revealed as contestants before the teams were actually sequestered?

It would be weird if the other teams knew they were on before even leaving for the race. It could potentially lead to them being recognised and becoming bigger targets because of that.

It was rumored on BB19 Finale night (9/20) as it was mentioned in a tweet by the Hollywood Reporter. It wasn't confirmed until a week after that (9/27). Either the other teams were already sequestered with no information leaked to give Jess and Cody an advantage, OR i don't think it would really make a difference. CBS is encouraging fans and especially Jess and Cody fans to be present at the Starting Line so I would assume that it will be no secret that Jess and Cody have some sort of following whether the other teams know they will be joining them or not

Almost certainly random people (lucky ones!)

So... Public invited for 1130 0r 1230 depending on source.

go! reported to be ~430PM.

So we can essentially narrow down flights to after 830-930 PM.

There are 2 nice ones to Reykjavík....

but they do often like to use US flights for leg 1 so... ???

That'd be a great first country! It's got some unique unearthly landscapes. We've only seen it visited that once back in season 6.

Not sure of that one, Peach. Couldn't Israel be a bit of a controversial country for American teams to visit?

Also, I believe the Departure date should be tomorrow (Oct 1st 2017) as that is the race start date. Sorry if I am wrong!

I'm going to make the trek out, but the earliest I could get to the park is 10:30am

Also, I have tickets for my return flight at JFK, seeing as most the teams will go there
