Speculation on season 13
Hooky:

Howver, please consider that the numbers board for the FAST FORWARD IN PROGRESS could just be a standard set of hooks and numbers. With 3 rows and 3 columns, that gives you 9 numbers whether you need 9 or not. What does WRP care if not all the numbers are possible at that point in the race? As I have pointed out elsewhere I have never seen more than 3 actually used for Fast Forwards in other Amazing Races.

Hi, I'm new. I have enjoyed reading the spoilers and I have a comment.
That board of numbers doesn't look like it is even made by the Amazing Race staff. After all, in Season 7, they had a board of numbers at the cooling tower Fast Forward and the tags had Fast Forward icons on them.
But if it is the real thing then I agree with you about the standard set thing, because the Season 7 number board did have 9 tags even though there were only 7 teams left.

Would this route be generally correct based on the information that's been gathered?
Leg 1 - Los Angeles, USA to Sao Paulo, Brazil to Salvador, Brazil
Leg 2 - Salvador, Brazil to Fortaleza, Brazil
Leg 3 - Brazil to La Paz, Bolivia
Leg 4 - Bolivia to Auckland, New Zealand
Leg 5 - New Zealand to Siem Reap, Cambodia
Leg 6 - Cambodia to Delhi, India
Leg 7 - India to ??
Leg 8 - ??
Leg 9 - ??
Leg 10 - ?? to Moscow, Russia
Leg 11 - Russia to ???(possibly) to Oregon, USA
If that's so... the locations have been disappointing. There's too much Brazil and India was JUST visited. And only 2 new countries (Cambodia & Bolivia) are visited out of the 7 confirmed countries we have so far. There are maximum another 3 more countries that can be visited (provided no double-legs other than Brazil) and here's hoping that AT LEAST 2 of them are new countries and interesting.

That is a pretty good summary. The one thing that is new is that with the Moscow pitstop start time clarified as the afternoon of May 11, then Moscow is the 9th leg and not the 10th. The 10th is somewhere in Europe To Be Determined. Also the recent history of the Amazing Race indicates that WRP likes to go back to countries used before and only allows a small number of new countries each race.
My personal believe is that there cannot be too much Brazil. We have previously had a Sao Paul leg and a Rio de Janeiro leg. Brazil is a huge country with lots of places to visit. Seeing 2 of them is by no means too much. Chile got 4 legs in AR11, so you should be pleased that Brazil gets only 2. India is always a fascinating culture shock. I'd love to see move India. Old Delhi is being visited for practically the first time(there was a minor visit in a leg of AR1).

The Moscow pit stop was clarified as the afternoon of May 11? I thought it was still up for grabs as May 13th is not out of the question? And you meant New Delhi not Old Delhi right?

--- Quote ---After the British Raj took control of India during the 19th century, Calcutta became the capital until George V announced in 1911 that it was to move back to Delhi. A new capital city, New Delhi, was built during the 1920s. When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, New Delhi was declared its capital and seat of government. As such, New Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the Parliament of India.
