In the same vein, the pitstops beteen Dubrovnik and Girdwood will be limited to select countries. I think the most probable are:
Russia
China
South Korea
Japan, particularly this one because of its past underepresentation on the Amazing Race
The next tier of countries would be:
Ukraine
Turkey
Mongolia
The remaining possibilities are:
Poland
Greece
Egypt
Oman
Dubai
India
Sri Lanka
Thailand
Malaysia
Singapore
Vietnam
Hong Kong/Macau
Philippines
Guam
I think that's everything north of the equator that's ever been in a regular Amazing Race. Countries like Taiwan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Myannmar, Bangladesh, all of the "stan"s, and most of the Middle East will not be possible because they have never been in an Amazing Race.

And we know for sure that it's not Czechoslovakia.

Czechoslovakia has not existed for at least 20 years. It is now The Czech Republic, capital Prague; and Slovakia, capital Bratislava.

Right you are, GMAN! I unintentionally misstated the Czech Republic's old name, probably because I still think of it that way.
My faith in the Belize spotting has apparently not been rewarded, as the Rule of 5 Countries and the certainty of the other 4 means that Belize is now in the questionable category. It looks like somebody has been trying to spoof or hoax us on that one. With the identification of a temple in Taiwan in the screencaps and the fact that Taiwan has never been on the Amazing Race before, it becomes the fifth country and knocks Belize out.
That also calls into question the whole legs before July 8 issue based on puddin's likelihood that the start was July 1, 2 or 3. It sure looks like it might have been July 8 based on the timetable work I am doing (more on that in the morning).
The work that Kogs has done on a nonstop flight from Taipei to Anchorage is valid, but it only applies to Sunday July 29 in the relevant time frame. It definitely does not apply to Monday, Wednesdays, or Saturdays. That means that teams would have flown on China Airlines 12 leaving Sunday July 29 from Taipei at 515pm and arrived at Anchorage after crossing the International Date Line at 905am on the same Sunday July 29.
There are 6 nonstop flights from Osaka toTaipei on July 27 starting at 1035am through 840pm departures.
The flight connection from Vilnius to Osaka would go through Frankfurt, then nonstop from there. However, since teams would arrive on July 23 and then have 4 days in Osaka it is much more likely that there was another pitstop in between Vilnius and Osaka.

Put the blame on me if you will but I never said or wrote that I was certain. It was information passed on to me that I shared then later speculated that it might not be good info here.
not confirmed:
**Filming start date was the last week in June in Los Angeles area. Cast and crews left via airplanes between aprox. July 2-3rd
I have given good spoilers I found cast throughout this thread which I have not had a moment to update tonight. Of course with the help of Slowhatch, peach & Kogs.
Kynt and Vyxsin
Jennifer and Nathan
Michelle & Elena?
Kiss My Femur♥/Jenn & Rachel?
plus I have other names that I have not had a chance to look at but will share if they seem right.
Also I thought you all thought I was nuts with my Lithuania spoiler but it turned out to be good.
Anything else? I'd like to go watch my videos of the commercials now :waves:
