Or there are 4 teams racing, one gets eliminated in HK, and 3 go to the Finale. The straightforward usual.

So is Hong Kong 100% true?
I am going to rush to the airport after I off work and hopefully reach there by 7pm

they'll get to gate at 735, and they're landing in terminal 1.

It's pretty safe to assume that the leg in Chiang mai was either an elimination or non.

If it was an elimination leg, either debaters or Indy was eliminated since we saw Jody and skiers at the airport for the flight to Hong Kong.

If it was a NEL then they all made it to Hong Kong

yeah as opposed to *all* the other options that a leg could *possibly* be like a half-elim which is my personal favourite

If night leg in HK might not happen, teams may wait for hours of operation for the next morning just like as case with the theory of Zimbabwe leg.

Well, the new pics in Chiang Mai's airport make it official.  Lifeguards are indeed out at F5.

Might mean Bahrain is indeed a possible NEL.

Well, there are two girls wearing pink in the pic below and a girl on the right, covered by the male debater (?) and just beside the blonde girl.

So who are they other than one of them is female debater?

Pink Shirt Girls are Skiers obviously. The other blonde girl looks like she's leaning on the side of the male debater (Henry) so it must be the female debater (Evan).

So what could be possible tasks for a night leg in Hong Kong. And on a Sunday night too.

Fun to note that the last solo HK leg (TAR17) was also a night leg.

I can also see Cody sitting next to brunette skier and also one of the indy's standing in the picture. That means all are starting from a clean slate. Except, one team has to do a speed bump. I wonder which team!

Also, I think that's Jessica sleeping with her hat over her face.

I agree partly though. But if you eliminate 1 more team in Leg 10. Then Leg 11 becomes a keep on racing leg mostly and as per my knowledge I doubt if a keep on racing leg has happened with 3 teams. Someone verify it please.
So what I think is :
Leg 9 : Bahrian (Lifeguards elimination based on Dangambler's source ; 5->4 teams)
Leg 10 : Thailand (NEL)
Leg 11 : HongKong ( can be either continue on racing leg OR elimination leg)
Leg 12 : USA (if it was continue on racing leg, then 4 teams compete for finals OR if its simple elimination leg, 3 teams compete for it)

Here's something interesting. Phil said at the starting line something about a "twist" right. So we have final 3 in Hong Kong, KOR and then finale in the United States.

Wrong.  Four teams are already en route to Hong Kong right now.

Yes! If we go by Dangambler's source of Lifeguards EL in Bahrain Leg 9. Then next leg 10, which apparently was thailand becomes NEL since we saw no Lifeguards at the airport also but did see all other 4 teams. So no one got eliminated.

Wouldn't all four teams continue to fly together anyway at this point?  Decoy team AND to be there at the finish line.  ???

Wow, looks like people in HK have already staked out the peak with finding that speed bump up there already.  Good work!

We will probably get quite a few good spoilers.  I'm picturing a couple dozen people gathered up there waiting.

Cathay Pacific 654 arrived 40 minutes ago. Victoria Peak is a 49-minute drive from Hong Kong International Airport. They could be already on their way to a Route Info.

I am from hong Kong but I can tell if they take taxi,it will take a lot more time for them (As the road to the Peak is so congested especially at night)

And I think they have a high possibility to go to the Metro/take the bus from HKG to Central
And take the tram from Admiralty to the Peak
