Guess not really :P But it'd be kinda funny now if the final city ends up starting with A.

No I haven't but heading to airport now let's see :)
6:54 PM - 21 Oct 2017


John Ho is the guy who shot the Periscope videos. If he's going to the airport in Chiang Mai now, he'll likely see the other teams, so it should be worth keeping an eye on his Twitter account.

Someone tweeted him the flight info, and photos of the other racers too.

should probably tweet him the lifeguards picture too just incase that info of them being eliminated wasn't accurate..

Well, he has everything, including the gate number, so here's hoping he films any two people together with backpacks.

Well we've got one that's safe through Bahrain, the skiers.

Why does the clue give them specific instructions for flights? Like the connecting flight. From the show they make it seem like they have to find their own flight.

I'd guess because in the very early seasons, back when teams had free reign to book their own flights, we had incidents where a team would botch it and end up almost a day behind, or adversely sometimes in their favor, almost a day ahead of everyone else. Also to avoid any risk of them accidentally transferring through somewhere they shouldn't for safety reasons.

They don't really want things like that anymore, better to keep them all moderately bunched together.

No. All budget and security,

Guys, let's keep in mind the Racer's security and not pinpoint future locations okay? The damage re flight is done, but be very careful from here on out.

Well considering the crew allowed the guy to Periscope the whole thing, maybe TARUS is becoming a little more loose when it comes to keeping locations and stuff secret. The more social media chatter, even if live sightings, the  better.  :spy:

Was looking at the Timeline Thread and I noticed something, normally TAR has 3 double-country legs, 2 double-country legs for other seasons. This season, there's only 1 which is France X2.

So Hong Kong is the last leg?

I see the picture and they will land in Hong Kong around 6-7pm in Hong Kong time
And from the periscope,there should be 4 teams according to him

If Hong Kong is the last destination, I think they may need to have a late-night leg

There's a large time gap around Zimbabwe, which could very well have been a rural second leg there. A leg is missing, no doubt.

Certainly I agree on this. We confirmed that France is having a true double leg (Saint-Tropez and Arles). The missing leg in Zimbabwe remains speculated just like the speculated missing leg gap between Hanoi and Maun on TAR 22.

I was thinking about the same thing. I really think Zimbabwe has another leg, which we may have not seen or gotten info. Putting into perspective the production's eyes. I would not spend money on multiple connections and spend just 1 leg there. Just my 2 cents.

From I have seen in John's periscope,he says there are 4 teams
And he sees a pink team ask for a direction whether they should go to international depature/domestic departure

Mr ho the periscope guy just saw he skiers again live at the airport, I ask him when he saw them first back in the city and he said 3 hours ago. Very strange no other teams were there with 3 hours gap? Either skiers are far ahead or they are lost and behind  :spy:

well if the rumor about the lifeguards is true it is probably racers and debaters.

Even if this is leg 11 leg 10 was probably NEL.
