Speculation on season 13
apskip:
How about this for a wild hypothesis:
Could there have been only a Final 2? This would have meant one more elimination point and only one TBC/non-elim.
In thinking about that TBC, I have been fixated on a REST DAY on the western side of the Pacific and I identified Auckland as where it was. However, if the 20 hour stop in Auckland was actually tasks, the only way that could happen would be if it were a TBC; there would not have been time for tasks and a pit stop.
By the way, it looks to me that the numbering 13-1111 confirms the fact that there were 11 episodes in AR13.

Just talked with a co-worker whose husband was hiking in the Columbia Gorge at about 2:30 pm and saw racing teams, vehicles and a helicopter in the vicinity of Bridge of the Gods. He wasn't sure what it was until she called him about the Portland rumor. Could it be the race?

I don't know when they put it up, but it sure wasn't there yesterday! :yess: I got there in time to see the camera crews packing up and loading equipment into vans, but a fellow teacher saw two couples ride the zip line down to the island. This was between 2:30-3:30 this afternoon. There were helicopters circling the site, three camera crews at and around the bridge, and they apparently paid the owners of the Charburger restaurant to close for the day so they could secure the parking lot which overlooks the river and the zip line. There were six yellow cabs at the parking lot where the access to the island is, along with more camera crews, and the officer that I talked to said they always stage it so that people don't know for sure how many couples are left. Does that sound reasonable?
The other teacher talked to one of the cab drivers, who said he picked up two people at the airport from an overseas flight, took them to Newberg where they "ran around and looked for a clue", then drove them to Cascade Locks. For some reason someone asked him if this was Fear Factor, but he said it was more like a scavenger hunt. Apparently he has not actually seen Amazing Race himself, so didn't know anything about the usual process.
My speculation is Timberline Lodge for the finish?

I saw TAR teams today as well at PDX. I drive the international buses at PDX but not today. However, I was driving the terminal parking lot buses today and saw a camera man /sound man running after a very tan blond woman in a florescent green sporty outfit, backpack and one of those TAR clue cards (?) in her hand just about the time the Germany flight would have landed. They were getting a taxi here at PDX. I had to keep my eyes on my driving but a person in the bus said they were from The Amazing Race.
My next loop around (20 minutes later), I arrived at the terminal and saw more teams grabbing a taxi. Fortunately I was driving the Employee lot bus and one of the supervisors (who got on camera & had to sign a TAR release for TV) confirmed that the teams in fact were from TAR and got off the Lufthansa flight from Germany to Portland OR. They were headed up to Washington state. He also said there were only 4 teams and perhaps the other two teams went up via Seattle first - but that of course is purely speculation.

If the Dubai sighting is correct this could mean two things... They may end up going to another location in the UAE like Sharjah or Abu Dahbi (possibly by car). Otherwise Dubai us a large hub for Emirates airlines.
The only other "safe" Middle East destinations that don't have heavy visa restrictions are Qatar, Bahrain, and possibly Jordan.
I doubt that Colombo would be a destination as there has been recent violence. But there may be a chance of the Seychelles which is close to Sri Lanka and also easy to get to from Dubai.
Europe was done in TAR12 so most likely they will only be one or two desinations this time around. Emirates does fly to several African nations too but the only one they really havent done yet is Uganda.
Don't rule out Kazakhstan too! There is a growing number of tourists to the nation, thanks to Borat!! Also looks really nice despite the jokes.
