TAR12 timeline speculation
north09:
lol forgot about those
georgiapeach:
okay--this is driving me nuts. We have been speculating that Florence comes next because it makes logistical sense. But what if things don't go that way? And this is why I ask...
If you take the timeline and substitute in the actual filming dates that we are sure of (instead of episode airing dates)--then things get complicated.
Snagging puddin's list here:
EP1: 11/4/07 LA-Ireland 11 teams to start -- Ari/Staella eliminated -- 10 teams left Dep LA July 8--arr Ireland 7/9-spend night --tasks/Pitstop7/10 dep 7/11 :yes:
EP2: 11/11/07 Ireland to The Netherlands 10 teams to start- Pat & Kate elim'ed--9 teams left dep Ireland 7/11, arr Amst 7/11 tasks+36 hour Pitstop:yes:
EP3: 11/18/07 Netherlands to Africa 9 teams to start --Sisters elim'ed --8 teams left Depart via CDG on Fri 7/13, arr Ouagadougou 5PM on 7/13, camp at/near train station overnight, do tasks Sat 7/14, spend night at Bingo pitstop- :yes:
EP4: 11/25/07 Africa to Africa 8 teams to start --1 elim -- 7 teams left Sun 7/15 tasks--now either this is a TBC on 7/15 so they can catch the evening 7/15 flight out OR it is an elim and teams depart 7/16. And here is where I get confused --we believe teams arr Dubrovnik on 7/19 direct from the airport. So if they arr Florence 7/16 there seem to be too many days--even if they arr 7/17 you would think they do tasks 7/17 and are ready to go wherever by 7/18. So either they need a 36 hour Pitstop in Florence (where you would think that they would LEAST want to hang around due to the numbers of tourists) --or they go somewhere else either instead of or in addition to Florence. What if teams go first to Lithuania first from BF? arr there 7/17--tasks 7/17 with Pitstop dep 7/18 to Florence arr 7/18 tasks + pitstop dep for Dubrovnik AM 7/19.
So far we know they have lots to do in Lithuania so makes sense to give them the time there. But somewhere there has to be a TBC instead of a Pitstop or this way we lose too many teams before Dubrovnik. OR Lithuania could be another 36 hour Pitstop and Florence could FOLLOW Dubrovnik. Apskip will have to tell us what does and doesn't work here, but I am concerned that BF--Florence--Dubrovnik isn't working. And it gets equally confusing when we put this onwards--but that is for another post!
EP5: 12/2/07 Africa to Italy? 7 teams to start - 1 elim - 6 teams left or to Lithuania??
EP6: 12/9/07 Italy to Croatia? 6 teams left - 1 elim - 5 teams left Or to Italy/TBC? still 6 teams OR to Dubrovnik
EP7: 12/23/07 Croatia to Lithuania? 5 teams to start -- 1 elim or TBC(?) --5 or 4 teams left OR Dubrovnik 6 to start one elim--down to five--OR to Italy
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:
I thought you were all saying Florence next because of the "burned bridges" title, you know bridges = Florence :lol:
georgiapeach:
No silly---Ponte Vecchio survived the Nazi's --guess it can survive TAR! And this has to be the Blondes commenting on whatever they did in Ep 4, right?
Apskip has some good ideas on this--I'll let him comment.
puddin:
Hey it wasn't me, thats why I locked that thread so that we didn't have 3 pages of Florence stuff before we even knew if it is indeed Florence :lol:

Burned bridges - in Florence?
