Seycheller, we would love to believe you. However, you need to provide concrete evidence, preferrably photos but we will settle for eyewitness reports if photos were not taken, including dates of any AR14 visit to the Seychelles. Since Madagascar and Mauritius have been Amazing Race sites, there is no reason the Seychelles could not be. I'm from Missouri. Show me.
You should know that the race according to reports was heading for Russia from Romania. Also, there may be only one leg between Russia and Phuket. To go from anywhere in Russia to Seychelles to get to Phuket is not exactly probable. The other possibility is going from Phuket to Guilin. Taking a huge detour via the Seychelles is so unlikely it is not worth talking about. However, I hope you have the answers for us.
