I've read bits and pieces of the raw threads (very little help for me) and the summaries, and looking at it with fresh eyes since I hadn't been involved this season, I would say no airport in the US is safe from being the final destination city airport at this point. TPTB could even do a fake out and have teams fly to the final city via Beijing from Hong Kong and that would open up even more direct flights. Anything is possible.
Only thing I'll suggest is that on paper, areas with recent natural events such as hurricanes and fires are probably less likely, but who knows? I certainly don't.

It's certainly possible that TAR may have originally planned a Finish Line in one location and changed it last minute. I have no idea if he Jody fans detective skills are recent or not, but things could have changed since.

Should we be expecting to see sightings today or tomorrow? Or is that also dangerous to say here on RFF?

From Vic's post here, I wonder what were they looking for at that monitor... Because I don't think that was a setup booth. Can someone explain? ???

Now here's hoping it's better than the last night finale (24)  :funny:

Most likely to see the photo they just took of themselves at the overlook. Maybe they can choose which one they like and had to print one out.

Was wondering same thing when the one pic shows Indy and Jody together staring at the monitor like they are trying to figure something out. It’s a pic in sightings but I don’t know how to copy it here

The photo booth is usually not there, it was set up for the task. The monitor is a computer screen. The photographer transferred the digital photo to the computer for editing/printing.

Indy have taken their photos (as they were first to arrive) and they were editing/printing their photo when Jody arrived. Jody were just peeking over Indy's photo lol.

Hey Vic, did you somehow manage to see what kind of photo they should take? Was it like the one attached on the booth?



I'm just thinking if it's a selfie or if there's a designated photographer that they should search or they should ask locals to take their photo. :)

Yes, it is just a usual photo of the Victoria Harbour. The designated photographer did all the job. Teams just need to pose and get their photos/clues.

Nevermind, they landed in SFO a little over an hour ago.  Photos in live sighting thread.

Final destination (reportedly) is everywhere, if you want to find it, try twitter.

Just so you don't have to google it?

On May 4, 1965, San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays hits his 512th career home run to break Mel Ott's National League record for home runs. Mays would finish his career with 660 home runs, good for third on the all-time list at the time of his retirement.    :dick   :D

Was S24's finale bad, because the best team in the world Dave and Connor won? :funny:

No. Because it's an absolute joke of a leg.

Digging in the middle of nowhere.
Lightbulbs that failed to allow ANY placement changes.
A magic task that failed to allow ANY placement changes.
A "final task" which decided the winners by first-come first-served to the final clue.

Literally anyone could make a better finale than that.

That said, this is off-topic so sorry for derailing the thread.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/xcF6oqKbwnU" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/xcF6oqKbwnU</a>

A couple of things.
The clue is to figure out how many home runs Willie Mays hit in his career (660) and those are the numbers they need on the baseballs they'll collect. They ask that guy to Google it while they're standing in front of the huge Willie Mays statue with plaques that probably tell them that info. (I dunno, I never read it, but most likely)

Then the Additional Info tells them to go to Pier 40 for the kayaks probably, but the guy filming tells them Pier 40 is 2 miles away. OMGNO. :groan: He's probably thinking about Pier 39. Pier 40 is right behind AT&T. What if he just sent the ladies all the way down the Embarcadero for nothing.

Yup, that could end their game, and he told them to run instead of wait for a cab too.
