I will resist! :funny: And I'll just stay boot order spoiler-free for the while. I mean, considering that I've not had such a stellar track record of picking favorites, nothing at this point will disappoint me. :funny: I do check out location spoilers though. :tup:
I'm baaaaaack!

Since this is the spec and discussion thread...

I really am starting to feel TAR4 all over again... :(

4 M/M teams? This is completely... uhh... ridiculous? I'm quite scared that we'll have out first ever M/M Final 3... Uhoh...

I was supposed to be somewhat spoiler-free (the spoilers/spec/fake spoilers are all mixed up right now - and I apologize for that :-[) this season, but I looked at the summary article posted on the media thread. :groan:

Just a reminder that this whole section is in the Spoiler Board and is clearly marked as such. There is no way to just peek around in here, you take a risk.

If you don't want to be spoiled, you have to stay out of this board entirely.

Sorry, though! :hugs:

Just putting this out there:

Considering that there are 5 teams now, then either the Netherlands or Sweeden is a NEL (there were 6 teams in the netherlands right?). however, this may not be the case if Sweeden and Estonia is part of the same leg (if time does not allow for a full pit-stop... im not sure, im not good with timings)

The site has changed, it says  teams were golfing at Mauritius Gymkhana Golf Club and climbing Le Morne Brabant. It also says that the teams are believed to arrived from Dubai. :duno:

Since it seems the Globetrotters may still be racing, maybe one of our Estonian friends can find out if they were first or last to Pikk St, since I didn't see them in the video.

I wonder which way they are going from Estonia?  This would be an excellent opportunity to visit the bridges of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad).

hey, I just run a whois search on that certain page and it has never received any visit from any user in  mauritius, which is quite weird taking into account how much info it shares about the islands.

Besides, the older posts are from may 19. Could the production team have been creating fake clues back then?

What are the odds that they swung down to Mauritius from Dubai and went back up to the Netherlands?

NOTE- I changed all dates backward by one from a version posted minutes earlier.

celestor,
1% probability in my estimation. A trip from Dubai to Mauritius can be done with single connections through London or Frankfurt or Paris or Johannesburg or nonstop to Mauritius if the day of the week is right. The arrival times for a depature on the morning of Tuesday July 28 are the final number of each row:

MK913 DXB MRU 0300 0925
Ek761  DXB JNB  0440 1050  connecting with MK852 JNB MRU  1315 1915
Ek045  DXB FRA  0825 1315  connecting with DE3314 FRA MRU 1555 0530 +1
EK029  DXB LHR 0950 1420  connecting with BA123 LHR MRU 1625 0725 +1
EK073  DXB CDG 0820 1330  connecting with MK045 CDG MRU 1620 0600 +1

So, would teams have been able to get to Dubai airport before 2am in order to book a nonstop flight to Mauritius. Maybe that was possible. If they did, then they will start tasks and maybe complete them by about 1200pm July 28. The earliest teams would be released (assuming no TBC which for Mauritius combined with Amsterdam would be too much of a stretch) is July 29 at 1200am.

The options for return flights July 29 to AMS are through Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle:

BA122 MRU LHR 0930 1840 connecting to BA444 LHR AMS 2000 2215
AF983 MRU CDG 0820 1920 connecting to AF8242 CDG AMS 2055 2210

Ok, so teams could arrive AMS slightly before midnight starting July 30. Do they have time to complete tasks so they can fly to Sweden? Yes, they do.

However, ask yourself if you are Bertram van Munster and you want to get teams between Dubai and Amsterdam, would you spend huge amounts of airfare just so they could spend 2 hours of tasks plus a pit stop on Mauritius? You know the answer to that question without all of the above analysis.

i was just thinking:

this is TOTAL SPECULATION, btw

but, what if instead of a Mauritius leg, and instead of just staying in the U.A.E. for two legs, they went to a nearby Arabic country such as Qatar or Bahrain?

and what if they used other means to get there and back (such as a ferry)?

they could potentially get to one of those countries, complete a leg, and arrive back in the u.a.e. in time for steffiesunrise's sighting

the ferry scenario could also explain why she saw the team at a hotel and not at the airport (if said hotel was on the way to the airport)

haven't done too much research on this possibility, just a random thought that i thought could be worth sharing with the group... :duno:

TOTAL SPECULATION:

 I just saw Tiffany and Maria being in Estonia as well in page 1 of the Location spoilers, hopefully they're not eliminated and are just speedbumped. They look to stressed to be eliminated during that time. No make ups and all that jazz - they look too stressed to be decoys like the others from previous seasons...

my guess with the no backpack thingy maybe they reverted back to the old way of NEL penalites..taking all of their bags and money.. maybe they were last on sweden and that's why they were on a later ferry.. also if you look at it tiffany has a jacket strapped on her waste that could probably cover their franny pack..

Maybe they left it in the taxi... Teams usually do those kinds of stuff

The Gulf States as the site of the post-Dubai leg is a distinct possibility. However, I believe there was a sighting in Dubai on the morning of July 29. Teams would not have time after that to go to another Gulf State, do a leg and pit stop, and then get to Amsterdam by the morning of July 30.

Hate to break it to you guys but I've check and there is only 1 ferry per day from Stockholm to Tallinn. Maybe they were just playing poker in their rooms?? And If you look at the 2nd picture Maria is carrying a plastic bag with what looks like clothes??
