The Amazing Race Asia 3 Spoilers/Speculation
apskip:
Where are the extra ARA3 legs?
To date we have identified legs in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Saigon, Hue, Hong Kong, Macau and Cochin. That is only 7.
I believe that there will be one in Hanoi. Timing shows that there cannot be one in Singapore. The sighting of teams in Beijing has been discounted due to need for an overlapping segment in Bangkok.
So, where are the other 3 legs, assuming that 11 is the minimum number of legs that will occur(vs. historical of 14 total legs for Amazing Race 1 and also 2 with all those filler NEL legs)? There could be 2 legs in any of the places listed, but I don't think so based on the timing indicated.
Does anyone have thoughts on where the extra legs are? Speak up now, as it's only 10 days to the beginning of ARA3.
topaz:
most probably the other 3 legs will be outside Asian countries like in Europe or in Africa before heading back to Asia where there's no witnesses on the race there just like what happened to the final leg on the previous season of TARA when the 4 remaining teams went to Cape Town, South Africa.
The best guess? If it is in Africa, the best place will be in Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar or Mauritius. Or if it is in Europe, the best place will be Greece, Finland (due to the fact that they'd sponsored Nokia and that country is famous for the maker of that cellphone brand), Poland, Germany, etc.

Sorry! :res:
This shot was taken between 5:08 and 5:38 pm (assumes May 20th).

As always, Chateau--you are the master! :bow: :lol:
I just heard back from Andrew, our blogger who sent us the original photo of the teams "enjoying" the bugs, and he said:

So so far we seem to be right on track! :hearts:

Unfortubately we ran out of sightings, so everything from here on out remains speculation....
Hanoi remains a possibility for the leg after Hue due to geographic proximity.
Michael Mckay has said that
--- Quote ---"I wanted the third series to look and feel different to the others.
--- Quote ---I didn't want it to focus so much on the big travel legs of series 2. I wanted to set a route that tested the stamina and endurance of the teams and their smarts.
--- End quote ---
I was keen to establish it as an extremely tough race right from the outset and one that focuses attention on the teams and their relationships. I really do hope fans of the series will love The Amazing Race Asia 3 as much as we love producing it for them" he adds.

So geographic proximity may be important --as we have seen so far that the teams are being sent by local transport in each of the first 2 legs.
Taiwan was mentioned as a possibility to me some time ago, but is speculation without more evidence.
I would love it if teams broke with tradition and ended the race somewhere besides Thailand...perhaps it isn't too late for Beijing?? Again, speculation.
JonLover believes that he saw (As the AXN sight was loading) evidence for Goa and Osaka, both quickly removed.
A second leg in India is certainly very possible, and Goa is not all that far from Cochin.
So there are still all sorts of possibilities for us to play with, but my guess would be that TARA 3 does not visit either Africa or Europe this time around....
Zack.:
Would there be enough time for a trip to Oceania? Maybe Cochin to somewhere in Australia for a couple of legs and then back to Asia?
I'm guessing a "big travel leg" would be like, say, a trip to the states (though going from India to North America and back to Asia seems like a lot of work for little benefit).
