thursday July 14?
Belize/Guatemala.
I've been waiting for weeks to post this! When Survivor announced they would be shooting the next season near Tikal, there was a lot of chatter on the Belize chat boards due to the proximity/affinity...
 Saturday/Sunday July 16/17th - Panama - Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute

Don't know if anybody cares, but I just got word from a friend of mine doing field work in Panama that he was accosted by several Americans in white vans, cameras in tow, looking for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's boat dock. Evidently, CBS invaded Panama with a vengeance. Also, the person asked him if he spoke English, IN FRENCH, which I find VERY amusing.

 Thursday/Friday July 20-21st Costa Rica

Puddin, ya think we'll be heading into downtown New Orleans in this episode and the "getting of the country" is at the end of the episode?  |#' I can't wait to see the preview for this episode. I already have a list of potential places for them to go in N.O.

[Chateau d If]

Here are the docks!

How to get there.

Ignor the first picture:

Looks like our pre-determined time line is hold up; way to go gang!

July 14 - Leave after New Orleans Pit Stop (night of July 13); fly to Belize City, Belize. Two early morning flights: American at 5:59 and USAirways at 6:00AM) 

July 15 - Complete tasks in Belize and fly to Panama

July 16 - Panama.

Now the big question where do they go between Panama and Montreal??

[puddin]

Nice picture Chateau .. do you think its possible that we'll have The Amazing Race meets Survivor ?
according to TDT's calendar , around July 14th EP7 Survivor: Guatemala Episode 7: Surprise Enemy Visit

I know this is a long shot but hey it could happen and I could dream   {l{

[gingerman28]

S11 site in Tikel, Guatamala is actually nearer Belize City than Panama.  But how to trek all those people into the jungle???

[banzai]

I keep on hearing that the teams were held in Belize. So maybe they don't do anything in Belize. Do you hear anything? I can't find the original source.

[Chateau d If]

I think the actual destination and likely pit stop in Panama will be the Barro Colorado.  Which is accessed by 'the dock' because it is an island.

There were reports last July that there was trouble in River City (I mean Belize City) and that perhaps one teams was thrown out of the race which is the source for the speculation that 11 teams did begin the race, and through clever digital editing the editors removed them from Eps 1 - 4 (but they didn't catch it all leaving 11 cars in New YOrk, 10 stretchers in Middleburg, and 9 jeeps in Charleston.) It will be interesting to see if after Belize we only see the same number of things as teams are racing.

Interesting note on this subject.  In Brooklyn the Paolos are seen leaving  in the tenth  car.  In Charleston, Mama Paolo says "we got the LAST CAR again"  If this is true, then the Paolos got the 11th car in New York, otherwise it would not be the last car.

sorry banzai , heres the correct link

Healthwatch: 'The Amazing Race 8'

The word from a participant in a previous race is that the current one
is going so poorly that it might be ended early, the contestants sent
home, and the race cancelled.  The source says that, unlike in previous
races, the first legs of this eighth race were run inside the United
States in order to eliminate as many contestants as possible before
sending the survivors overseas.  However, things have not gone well, in
part because there are little kids involved, and in part because entire
families are involved.  Another factor: The show has grown popular
during the past year, and so local media are providing saturation
coverage wherever the racers show up.  This unwelcome attention has
been interfering with the running of the race.  The remaining racers
are being held in Belize while the producers of the show decide what to
do next.

 Sorry for vanishing on you all, but I have been in the middle of a move! To address the TAR family season. From what I hear, they are having a lot of problems with it and it may actually not be a rumor that it all gets canned. (I can't tell you my sources so don't even ask!haha) Personally, I think it would be a blessing in disguise because TAR is not meant for children! 

[Mandoli]

I'm really disappointed that it's taking TAR so long this time to take the show on the road.  Normally, by Episode 4, my wife and I have some great travel ideas.  But now it's, "Gosh, I'd really like to go to that Amish farm," or "Hey, honey, that large office chair looks REALLY appealing, doesn't it?"

Some of the best moments seem to happen when the contestants take to the air.  Airport stress is THE BEST!

One thing I have to say is that I have yet to be annoyed this season with one of those situations where teams one through 99 get to a sign that says the place doesn't open up until Thursday after next.  That really gets to me.  The team in the lead immediately loses any advantage. 

[supsandalee]

So the bungee jumping must be the Fast Forward task. The bridge in the background is called the Bridge of the Americas. I looked on google earth and there are plants/refineries to the south of the bridge and cruise docks to the north. I've also seen a couple of ball fields but can't tell which one yet.

Can you believe these Paolos!!!!  Told ya they are the Meredith and Gretchen of last season. No one thought they had a chance in hell of making it this far.

I know. Those moments really screw up the show, don't they? Well, there were two moments where the teams were bunched back up (somewhat). The first time was at that Philadelphia park, and the second time was at the mobile home place. Tightened the teams up, but then it was leave at the designated times. Really screwy, isn't it?

Bridge of the Americas in Panama City

I've had too much caffeine tonight .... I'm on a roll  :]

[charlierose]

Some thoughts of Panama.

Flights to Panama.  They will probably flight directly to Panama City via Houston or New Orleans.  Copa Airlines is huge in Panama and is associated with Continental Airlines.  Taca has some flights though El Salvador to Panama, leaving from Houston or New Orleans.  American Airlines has 3 direct flights to Panama, I think leaving from Miami.  I don't remember what other airlines flies there, but I am sure there are one or two more.  Since they receive the clues at night, I am pretty sure there are no flights arriving at late at night to Panama ( I think the last one arrives at 11 PM from Miami ), they should leave early the next morning.  The flight from New Orleans or Houston should take 3 hours. 

They sure are on the Panama Canal. 

When they are on the boats it appears to be the Pacific ocean (because of the tides) you see on the picture.

One more thing, apparently they are going to a rainforest, it could be Barro Colorado. It can only be access by boat.  There are several  others ( Parque Nacional Darien or Parque NAcional Chagres ) but I think this are the most popular.

I hope this helps.  :] :]
