I'll laugh if it is Atlanta. In happiness for Peach of course, but more because they'll be ending it in the hometown of one of the boards most prostegious members after we got the starting line on tape and camera!

hope they should go on this place for the final leg: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8186262.stm what do you think?

They've already ended in NYC twice since 2001. Boston would be nice though since it really hasn't been common to end TAR there. That's not to say that they shouldn't. I think the problem is that TAR is so big now, that it wouldn't be easy to keep things undisclosed in such a big city. I think it'll happen in Boston someday, and maybe they'll save NYC for TAR18.

20 minutes to touch down in ATL.

I hope you are ready Peach!

totally random and off topic but, i was just thinking:

what if this season doesn't have an NEL?

there is a slight chance of it happening but, only if all of these were the case:

a. There are in fact 12 teams
b. Two teams ARE NOT eliminated on the first leg
c. There are only 11 legs on this race
d. One pit stop ends up being the midpoint for a double length leg

it could look something like this:
Tokyo, Japan: 12th place
Leg 2: 11th place
HCMC, Vietnam: 10th place
Phnom Penh, Cambodia: 9th
Dubai, U.A.E.: 8th
Leg 6: 7th
Groningen, Netherlands: 6th
Stockholm, Sweden: TBC?
Tallinn, Estonia: 5th
Prague, Czech Republic: 4th
Final City, U.S.A.

NOTE: TBC could be anywhere, but i just stuck it on the sweden leg

this also works in favor of last team to complete starting line task not getting eliminated, but Speed Bumped, because there would be no other opportunity for that with no NEL's, and it would be a lovely twist, as opposed to the alternative.

Have TPTB hacked into Twitter to shut it down today so that the good, ole RFF detectives could not track the final three teams on their way to the USofA? Atlanta still looks good. Hope Peach can spot them.

Does anyone know anything from vegas? arrival time? possible destinations?

Tar detectives please share... it's so boring here at the office

apskip · « **Reply #515 on:** August 07, 2009, 07:20:49 AM »

spanishtarfan,
Your request is in the wrong thread. Look in a more logical place than "contestants" and ye shall receive on arrival time.

apskip · « **Reply #516 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:56:52 AM »

Let me enter some specualtion due to the bovious misdirection going elsewhere to protect the Finish City tasks and Finish Line. My hypothesis is this:

Final 3 left Prague yesterday nonstop on Delta 63 (codeshre OK5088 corrected per :jerry:) PRG ATL scheduled 1000 1535. Actual times were both ahead of schedule 0959 1525.
This flight continued on to LAX and teams could have gone there to connect to Las Vegas It was scheduled 1746 1925 but was late on both at 1758 1934. If that did occur, then potential flights LAX to LAS were:

NW633 2010 2121
UA864 2255 0004
or anything early this morning

It is more likely that teams got off DL63 in Atlanta and transferred onto another flight (see my post in Spoilers etc. for the details), but a logical one is last night's DL1093 ATL LAS actual departure late at 1924 and actual arrival late at 2045. that would get them to LAS 36 minutes before the route through LAX.

Ok, so that puts the final 3 into Las Vegas last night. What have they been doing if, as stated by Peach, it's not quite over yet?

In case you're looking for something to do, here is a webcam that shows the Hoover Dam bypass under construction.

I don't know that there will be any TAR activity there today - but you never know.

BTW - high of 35 in LV today - but its a dry heat...

Well, if that's the case, no reason to hold back on this possible "camera crew" sighting in Vegas a few days ago.

eta: although I heard that KFed may be shooting a reality show in Vegas as we speak.

Georgiapeach, can I safely conclude that my suggestion the other day to look at Hartsfield-Jackson helped y'all figure out what was actually going on?

I like to hope that my logic proved constructive.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #523 on:** August 07, 2009, 01:55:51 PM »

Suggestions always welcomed!! But the excursion was was actually already semi-planned....

Filming at a Vegas wedding chapel is nothing new, unless it was in Novosibirsk on last season for the detour! It may be that KFed reality show in the picture, Las Vegas has a lot filming going around there and it could also could be a Las Vegas television news crew covering a story.
