Location Lookout
Moo:
Could WRP actually shut off all possible means of filming while teams are at airports? I might say that they are having a new approach right now... But even so we do not spot teams, how about clues? It's July and September is getting close as well...
I could probably think that they're planning a new approach to film the Race moments before its premiere?? :duno:

Teams got to the bottom of South America, Ushuaia before they were spotted after the 4th episode was completed and starting the second week of AR11. If I were Bertram van Munster, I would use a route which minimizes publicity and makes it difficult for RFF to achieve its mission. It is posible that he has found such a route. I cannot believe that teams did not leave at least by yesterday. Probably we will see once the race is spotted. Can you imagine a route which gets all the way to the finish without being spotted. That would require the use of some obscure airlines.

Even if it seems bad for now, that could make the actual race on TV so much more exciting!

Last season, they still showed airport scenes, but not plenty! Thats why they mean "Fewer Airports." We would still see airport scenes like last season, but not as much.

This very well may be the time that TPTB have the teams fly individually to a start in a foreign locale. Their backpacks could even be shipped by TPTB so the teams would not be carrying their backpacks when they leave and would blend in with the other passengers. Teams could arrive by the end of June in a location not visited by too many American tourists such as Belize. From there they could fly to an African location for ep1, another African location for ep2 or even ep3. And so on travelling by lesser means (by train even when possible) to locations not usually visited by hordes of American tourists and RFF spies.
If the race is starting now one place I would not look for them is in France. The Tour de France runs until July 26 and travel unrelated to the Tour would be hard to do. So from Africa they could go to the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Belarus, and other lesser known places as the various Stans. So TAR15 could actually travel quite far without us being aware of what is going on. Perhaps TPTB could even have members of any airline used sign confidentiality papers (for a small fee and promise of airtime) just to keep them from blabbing about who might be on a flight with them.
All just speculation, of course, by a chemical weakened brain.

I'll keep a look out for them during my trip. Will be flying from Shanghai HongQiao to Shenzhen and later to Singapore. Will report anything if I see them. :D And also wouldn't it be obvious it they were teams because they MUST have video recorders so shouldn't the people following the teams have big bags?
