Topic: TAR 9 Preview

[woden]

Didn't know if this should go in spoilers or in here, so I put it in both...

So, just some shots in the dark here as to possible route map/episode order based on sightings/last night's preview/others' thoughts. Certainly some of these could end up being combined legs with other destinations we don't know about.

EP1: Denver (Red Rocks Amphitheatre) to Sao Paulo, Brazil (bridge)
EP2: Sao Paulo to Europe Destination 1 (pure speculation - cars in helicopter shot from preview look European to me)
EP3: Europe Destination 1 to Paestum/Corinth, Greece (ruins, diving into canal)
EP4: Paestum/Corinth to Moscow, Russia (basilica, ballet)
EP5: Moscow to Perth, Australia (newspaper)
EP6: Perth to Darwin, Australia (newspaper)
EP7: Darwin to Adelaide, Australia (sighting)
EP8: Adelaide to Singapore
EP9: Singapore to Lopburi, Thailand (masks)
EP10: Lopburi to Tokyo (shopping district, Mt. Fuji)
EP11: Tokyo to Anchorage (sighting, red plane)
EP12: Anchorage to Denver

I think the route's pretty close, but again there will undoubtedly be some variations and other destinations.

[Chateau d If]

Awesome. 

Remember Phil was on a flight from Tokyo to Seattle (i.e. Anchorage) too.

Someone over at TWOPs suggests that the greek temple is in Segesta, Sicily.  I google pictures of this temple and they resemble the one in cap #3.  I really think they went to Sicily not Greece.

Maybe puddin can help put up a picture, I really cant get it to work.

Hope this helps.

That's DEFINITELY Segesta (http://faculty.cua.edu/pennington/Religion402/Architecture/SegestaTemple.htm). The bungee jumping is almost definitely Corinth. Maybe Sicily AND Greece as below?

3 legs in Australia?? Isn't that too much?

[woden]

It does seem like a lot - those legs could be combined. But those three cities all have sightings and they're pretty far apart (http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~ldangerm/australia/map.gif). They often have multiple legs in one country (2 in Argentina/India in TAR7, 2 in China in TAR6, 2 in Argentina/Egypt in TAR5, etc, etc). Three would be unprecedented, I think, so maybe the best bet is that 2 of those Australia legs happen in one episode?

Or in a To Be Continued episode maybe? I mean, TBC episodes are now part of the reace, i guess.

FWIW if there saying febuary my guess the race starts tuesday night feb28th and would either end may 9th or 16th

Maybe those elephants were in India? (http://www.elephant.se/mahout.php) The guys on the elephants don't look like they're from Thailand or Burma. Doesn't seem like too many places specialize in elephant-riding.

Denver newspaper picture ( thanks to Slowhatch )
#16 &#17 Danielle and Danielle/Double Dee from Staten Island ?( spoiled by Samantha Vano )

#19 &#20 Dudley & Nicole from Cambridge, MA? ( spoiled by supsandalee)

I dont think those girls are Double D, the look more like sisters or twins so with that i dont think they would both be named Danielle.  Double D also look blonde in the picture at the ariport (or at least i thought they did), and they are not blonde.  They also dont have a Staten Island Accent witch i would have thought this team to have its Double D from SI.

Welcome to Allen Dodson's Homepage!
So, how DID I wind up in an apartment in Cambridge, MA with three grad students including two contestants on the Amazing Race? Okay, so I'm still a bit fuzzy on that all myself. But let's cover what I DO know...

ETA: granted the picture might be old , people have been known to change their hairstyles , I beleive its them .

Thanks puddin :winkC:

[puddin]

 * now Samantha Vano said the Danielles wore pink , thats what I'm going by . Granted the first team is cut off cause of the monkey faces .

They may live or work or go to school in Staten Island and not actually be from there ? I think they are from the East Coast somewhere ? Virginia  ??

LOL , watch they will turn out to be our Fav team . *

[supsandalee]

I agree that team 2 is the Double D's.

"There will be some prominent landmarks featured," promised the typically secretive Keoghan by cell phone from the set of the show's ninth season, now shooting "somewhere near the Middle East."

This shot must be middle eastern. Either a camel or lama is kissing the camera but you can see a person wearing a saree to the left of it.
