Speculation on TAR16 *no wish-lists please*
georgiapeach:
I would love for Dijibouti to be a real location... and hope it is.
But unless and until we get pics or some specific info, I think it has to remain serious spec only. So far we still have no concrete proof...like Germany. :(
But we'll keep the hope alive!!

This just might be like TAR14 when they disappeared into Siberia. We may not really know where they went till BVM releases the route map. And my comments were spec only.
redskevin88:
What if the Germany and Africa legs were done late at night? Because of the Muslim hajj flights between Europe and Africa might have been affected, and they could have done the legs late at night, assuming no hours of operation. There would be less people around also. If i remember correctly, that was the reason why Joe and Bill and Eric and Danielle were so far behind in All-Stars.
For the Germany legs, maybe it was done midnight/early morning. But it doesn't explain why no hotel/airport sightings.

I just want to make one observation. Ever since TAR 12, the structure of the route has changed in consistent ways from earlier seasons. We now have a pattern with 11-12 legs, rather than 12-13 (and I'm not counting the uberlegs as seprate legs in this comparison).
In the recent Races, there has been a consistent pattern of two or three cities where there are double legs. In the earlier seasons , two legs in a country didn't always mean two legs in the same city or metropolitan area. And it appears the remaining legs are often a grouped together so that several proximate countries are plotted out in each continent/area the route goes through. I'm sure it may be stating the obvious, but my point is that there really is a change since Race 12 as compared to the Races prior to that one.

Actually, TAR 12 did not stay in the same city for one leg (they went out to the country and back into the capital during the Burkino Faso legs). TAR 14 only stayed in Beijing due to the TBC. TAR 13 stayed in Delhi and Moscow, and TAR 15 stayed in Dubai and Prague for 2 legs each.
A far more visible trend that really started in TAR 13 is the fact that 3 countries host more than 1 leg:
TAR 13: Brazil, India, Russia.
TAR 14: Russia, Thailand, China.
TAR 15: Vietnam, Dubai, Czech Republic.
We know that Chile has 2 legs for TAR 16. That leaves 2 more unaccounted for.
Furthermore, the last city (Moscow, Beijing, Prague) has held 2 legs.
