TAR13 Episode Timeline, Route, Schedule
georgiapeach:
Thanks apskip!
I'm definitely happy if they are in Santiago for a leg but I'm still trying to make it work in my mind, much less the airports! :lol3:
--- Quote ---Now, let's address these questions one by one:
1. As things stand now, it is likely there was a TBC somewhere in South America. It could have been Fortaleza, but more likely was in Santiago or Santa Cruz after a pitstop in LaPaz.
2. No more legs in South America? Possible but not likely.

Why a TBC please? I thought we did away with those last season?
Why not likely? How can we make it all fit? The whiteboard shows Auckland as 13-04, right? Does that suggest Leg 4? If so, we only have 3 legs in SA....
Santa Cruz is just Phil passing thru, right?
But I can't shake the idea that there must be something in Santiago so I am :pull

I am not familiar with the 13-04 on a white board in Auckland, so I can't help you with the assumption that there were only 3 legs in South America.
I don't recall any announcements indicating that TBCs were dead, but I do recall one for AR12 that NELs were dead. That proved to be rubbish. Two legs have to be one of the other. I prefer TBCs, particularly in an enviroment where there is not enough time for a pitstop, which could be a fourth South America leg in Bolivia or in Santiago.
No, Santa Cruz is not just Phil passing through. It could well be a TBC leg. The flights from LaPaz to Santiago are very time-consuming and the route through Santa Cruz is more drect, more intelligent and faster as I recall(but remember that my recall isn't what it used to be).
Your desire to have a leg in Santiago is directly attributable to the fact that teams show up muddy, which would not happen during a REST DAY in Santiago on April 30.

Matt flies to Auckland next, which from here is 1304. So I guess there are three legs in South America.
(Fred and Brent go to cover 1303, which means Bolivia.)
Cambodia would be Leg 5, and Leg 6 India, or maybe Cambodia Part II. Wow!
Lots of red and yellow on that staircase on the 23rd of April. Task for our racers?

There is a difference between pitstops and legs if AR13 had any TBCs in South America. Howver, since we believe that there were 11 legs and the numbering apparently associates only the first 3 with South America, my argument may be off-base. In 8 days total from Los Angeles to Salvador to Fortaleza to LaPaz and on to Santiago, there should have been 4 legs according to historial standards of how the Amazing Race operates. I think it's still up for grabs with the conflicting hypotheses and data points.

Neobie, I have gone to masive effort to discover just where flight 3179 goes. I first narrowed it down to TAM as the airline. Next I had to figure out which was the departing city. It was not Fortzleza as I had expected. It was a morning flight from Salvador to Buesnos Aires:
JJ 3179 Salvador 07:45, Terça-feira SP(Guarulhos) 10:20, Terça-feira 0 Airbus A321
This must have been on April 25 or possibly the 26th. The choices in GRU are to go to Buenos Aires or to Santiago to catch the transSouth Pacific flight.
