The Amazing Race 12 Spoilers
georgiapeach:
Well, that was fast! :lol: Who needs seat covers, right?
Sadly, that seems to be it for the in flight photos...
Chateau d If:
Hereis a little from their write up: It's a Dad & son team! I like that.
--- Quote ---One of the contestants and his father were from Chicago and they sat across the aisle from us, so we got to
talk to them a little bit.

And this: "tight warm-up pants" It's sounding better all the time
--- Quote ---There was at least one team that was “goth.” They had either dyed their
hair pink or were wearing a wig (couldn’t tell from where I was standing) and were wearing white face paint. You couldn’t tell the
gender of the person very well, either, and I kept thinking that they looked very hot and ridiculous. Then, there were the girls who
were wearing tight warm-up pants…very shocking to the conservative Burkinabe culture where women wear skirts and dresses that go
below the knee in public.

I may be guessing a little but...

What about this?/
--- Quote ---the layover in Paris and the stop we made in Niamey, Niger to drop off some passengers .............. Still, that’s pretty good for having traveled a total of 18 hours.

and more:
--- Quote ---On the flight from Paris to Niamey/Ouagadougu, we noticed a TV crew that kept
filming different odd things at the airport and on the plane. Turns out that they were filming a
“race” of some sort. They weren’t allowed to tell us if it was THE race (the Amazing Race),
but unless there’s going to be a spin-off sometime soon, I’d bet on it. So, who knows…we
may end up in the background of some shots that make it onto the TV footage.:0) One of the
contestants and his father were from Chicago and they sat across the aisle from us, so we got to
talk to them a little bit. We were surprised that the show would send the contestants to Burkina – there’s not much here and it’s not
well known – but on second thought, I guess that makes sense.:0) So, whenever the next season of the Amazing Race airs, make sure
you watch it! I believe there’s a season currently running, so it may not be ‘til this fall/winter or maybe next spring. Aside from
looking for us, the missionary stars on the show, it’ll be interesting to see what they show of Burkina Faso, and to see some of the
contestants as well. It was amusing, standing in the line for passport check in the airport and seeing some of the…costumes…I’m sure
the Burkinabe were amused and maybe even shocked, too. There was at least one team that was “goth.” They had either dyed their
hair pink or were wearing a wig (couldn’t tell from where I was standing) and were wearing white face paint. You couldn’t tell the
gender of the person very well, either, and I kept thinking that they looked very hot and ridiculous. Then, there were the girls who
were wearing tight warm-up pants…very shocking to the conservative Burkinabe culture where women wear skirts and dresses that go

A conservative view of AR12 stops is as follows:
July 3 or earlier ? to Belize City
July 5 Belize City to San Salvador or northwest Mexico
July 8 San Salvador or northwest Mexico to Los Angeles
July 10 Dublin to Amsterdam
July 12 REST DAY
July 13 Amsterdam to Paris CDG (possibly by train)
CDG to Ougadougou, Burkina Faso
July 15 OUA to ?
July 17 REST DAY
July 18 ? to Dubrovnik
July 20 Dubrovnik to Vilnius, Lithuania
July 22 to 29 Who Knows?
July 29 Girdwood Alaska
August 1 or 2 FINAL DESTINATION CITY
I've listed 10 destinations above and there can be a maximum of 11 according to the statements by CBS. If there are any TBCs, each one will probably mean one less destination. A 7 day period is a long time for one or no new destinations. I find this problematical.
