The Amazing Race 16 Sightings/Info: Tweets Go here please!
apskip:
Peach's flight information is interesting. What I am about to say could have been placed in Speculation, but i put it here because of its tie to the discussion here. The difficulty of tracking where teams went between Asuncion and Penang can be readily explained if you look at
the route and flights and timing for a trip Asuncion:
ASU GRU JJ8034 1800 2100 Dec. 8
GRU DXB EK262 0125 2115 Dec. 9
DXB JIB D3189 0300 0530 Dec. 10
This gives a total transit time of 29.5 hours but note that there are only 2 connections and they both occur late at night. The Djibouti leg if it happened would be leg 6.
I have a follow-on tracing the route that could have been used from Djibouti. We start with Peach's flight Dec. 11 1800 2100 JIB DXB, then
DXB KUL 0310 1405 Dec. 12
KUL PEN 1610 1700 Dec. 12
To go a step further, here are the timing implications for the rest of AR16:
Dec. 12/13 Penang leg 7
Dec. 14 or 15 PEN SIN - see a prior note of mine for the specific flight information departing around 7am connecting through Kuala Lumpur and arriving between 945am and 1020am
Dec. 15 Singapore leg 8
Dec. 16 pit stop commences
Dec. 17 fly Singapore to Shanghai - there are about 4 nonstops departing from 0055 to 1010 and arriving about 5 horus later.
Dec. 17/18 Shanghai leg 9
Dec. 18 start extended pit stop
Dec. 20 fly Shanghai to San Francisco
Not that this shows only 10 pit stops, so I believe that one location, probably Penang, has 2 legs to make the total 11 legs. The possibility of it being 12 legs is remote in my opinion.
Now, another problem is that not having any legs in Oceania or Europe means that only 4 continents were involved in AR16. I have no solution for that. as going out to Oceania and back would take time that isn't available and the same problem exists with having a stop in Europe prior to Africa.
mjriches2005:
My estimate is that there are 12 legs:
Leg 1 (USA-Chile) Leg 2 (Chile) Leg 3 (Chile-Argentina) Leg 4 (Argentina) Leg 5 (Argentina-Paraguay)
Leg 6 (Paraguay-Unknown) Leg 7 (Unknown-Djibouti) Leg 8 (Djibouti-Malaysia) Leg 9 (Malaysia)
Leg 10 (Malaysia-Singapore) Leg 11 (Singapore-China) Leg 12 (China-USA)
-To my guess there could be two legs in Bariloche, Argentina. Then they took a 20hr bus ride to Buenos Aires to fly to Asuncion. Then after Paraguay, Leg 6 would probally take place in Africa or Europe. Then after Djibouti, they would spent a leg in Kuala Lumpur, then Penang. Sorry about this being speculation. So we could still have 5 continents even though it would be one leg in Europe. If Europe is not visited, 4 continents are still as long we got Africa and South America.
