TAR12 timeline speculation

<< < (8/65) > >>

puddin:
So something like this? Speculating there are 6 teams in Croatia not 7.

Just thinking outloud


EP1: 11/4/07 LA-Ireland  11 teams to start -- Ari/Staella eliminated -- 10 teams left

EP2: 11/11/07 Ireland to The Netherlands 10 teams to start- Pat & Kate elim'ed--9 teams left

EP3: 11/18/07 Netherlands to Africa 9 teams to start --Sisters elim'ed --8 teams left

EP4: 11/25/07 Africa to Africa 8 teams to start --1 elim -- 7 teams left

EP5: 12/2/07 Africa to Italy?  7 teams to start - 1 elim - 6 teams left

EP6: 12/9/07 Italy to Croatia? 6 teams left - 1 elim - 5 teams left

EP7: 12/23/07 Croatia to Lithuania? 5 teams to start -- 1 elim or TBC(?) --5 or 4 teams left

EP8: 12/30/07 Lithuania to India? 5 or 4 teams to start --1 elim or TBC (?) 5 or 4 teams left

EP9: 1/6/08 India to Japan 4 teams to start --1 elim-- 3 teams left

EP10: 1/13/08 Japan to Taiwan --final 3 TBC

EP11: 1/20/08 Taiwan to Alaska Final 3 --winner

puddin, it could happen the way you have proposed it. The TBC legs could fall anywhere in the Timeline. However, look at the timing in the upcoming leg. Teams will be arriving in Bobo Dioulasso or wherever on the morning of July 15. If they do tasks and do a 12 hour pitstop, then they will not be able to leave on the 1140pm flight from OUA to CDG. If it is a TBC, then there will be no diffculty in them getting out that night. This is the most compelling argument for having the TBC leg next.

north09:
Since I hope that there were 7 teams in Croatia, it's probably just my biased opinion to say that I would agree that the next leg is a TBC. I doubt TAR would try to squeeze in a flight to leave at night. They usually always leave in the day. Knowing that there is a U-Turn on this leg, replacing a yeild, it sort of supports a TBC. When there was a yeild it was usually a NEL.

Carry On...

north09, your worst doubts are about to come true. The only direct flight between OUA and CDG, AirFrance 731, on July 15 leaves at 2130. The only nonstop flight between OUA and CDG, Air France 735, on July 16 leaves at 2340. the both get in at 0610 next day, which means that it is essentially the same routing except for the one stop AF731 makes. All other connecting flights leave between 930pm and 340am and are essentially dominated by the schedules of the direct or nonstop flights.

Thats not true north, take for instance season 9, Lake & Michelle yielded the D's and they were eliminated. True Eric & Daniele were saved by the NEL not TBC season 11, but the second time around they were yielded by The Chas and it was the Cha's that were eliminated that episode...thats just a few examples.
