Speculation on TAR16 *no wish-lists please*

First I spark the discussion on Nueva Germania (which I'd edited out of my post after thinking it was too improbable) and then a discussion on the logistics of the TAR9 uberleg leads to at least one poster getting thoroughly confused.
In making this post, I have to add something to the TAR16 speculaiton, otherwise it would be essentially redundant.
If our Paraguay spoiler is correct (and if the flight schedules haven't changed in the past 2 months, there was a flight to Montevideo not long after the relevant Twitter posts were made), the racers would have probably been flying in from either Buenos Aires or Montevideo (or possibly Santa Cruz or Curitiba), but the date would have meant that they were already up to stage 5 or 6. Previously, there have never been more than 4 South American stages (3 if you leave out the Romber seasons) which would indicate that the spoiler was fake, but with no other firm spoilers between Bariloche and SE Asia (was there an airport sighting in Dubai?) and the fact that they didn't leave Asia until stage 7 in TAR15, maybe we can't completely discount the chance of production people actually being in the Asuncion airport.

Valor boreal,
Your assumption that there is a limit to the number of South American legs is open to question. The fact that there were 4 legs plus a 24 hour bus ride through Argentina in AR5 and 4 legs plus a series of plane flights from Ushuaia Argentina to Sao Paulo Brazil before crossing the Atlantic in AR11 does not mean that there will never be more than 4 South American legs in an Amazing Race.
If you had observed the commentary here on RFF in seasons 1 through 11 you would have assumed (incorrectly) that the Amazing Race finish would never be out of the lower 48 states. Finish Lines in Alaska for AR12 and Hawaii for AR14 proved those limits illusory. The same is more likely than not for the maximum number of South American legs some time in the history of the Amazing Race. Is AR14 going to be the time that breaks precedent? It certainly looks like it to me.

The Nueva Germania thing sounded good to me too - leave no stone unturned!
This is complete speculation - but perhaps we had South America for 3 legs - an Antarctic leg or 2 and then back to South America - Paraguay for 1 more leg? Unfortunately, penguins don't use twitter so its hard to confirm anything.

I had worked out all the logistics for Antarctica for AllStars, thinking surely they would hit there? Alas, not to be. And in actuality, the weather is very unpredictable...people often have to wait days for a break to get in...so with this season rushing to get home before Christmas, I doubt they would have tried. But I am SO ready if they did!! :yess:
Really, I think we have our SA documented legs and then off to Africa next (spec). We still need our cost cutting double leg around there too...

I can't see Antarctica happening, but what about the Falkland Islands?
Glamazon Racer:
This is looking like the route now, right? Correct me if there is anything wrong please.
Leg 1: USA - Chile
Leg 2: Chile
Leg 3: Chile - Argentina
Leg 4: Maybe Argentina #2
Leg 5: Argentina/Another Location - Paraguay
Leg 6: Paraguay - Unknown (I'm thinking a European city with a major airport, e.g. London, Paris or FRANKFURT!!! with connections to Djibouti, Djibouti. There has to be either a Europe or Oceania leg, so this could make sense)
Leg 7: Unknown - Djibouti
Leg 8: Djibouti - Malaysia
Leg 9: Malaysia
Leg 10: Malaysia - Singapore
Leg 11: Singapore - China
Leg 12: China - USA
Any suggestions/corrections? :duno:
