Could there be a stop in Vancouver because of the olympics? (Shanghai-->Vancouver-->San Fran)
(or will Season 17 visit here AFTER the olympics like Season 14 Beijing?)

I get the feeling that the powers that be at TAR try to avoid anything on legs that might indicate just when the race was run. Sort of trying to keep it timeless and not having the viewers react "Wow, they filmed that 4 months ago!" So, no, I doubt if they will visit the Shanghai 2010 Expo. I had no idea that Shanghai was having an 2010 Expo. I see it doesn't open until May. The only way I see them going there is if the Chinese government paid to have them come to Shanghai and do something at the unopened fair grounds.
As for Vancouver, we already know they went from Shanghai to San Francisco this season, so no side trip to Vancouver. I think Vancouver is quite likely sometime in the next 2 or 3 seasons. They like to go to past Olympic venues.

They haven't gone to Torino yet :P
DavidJunior:
Is there any chance that this is a 13 leg race?
Let's ASSUME the Paraguay info is indeed correct:
That gives enough time between the Bariloche spoiler (memory is hazy on exact date 2nd or 3rd?) and the Paraguay sighting on the 5th?
There was no activity until teams were spotted on a flight from Dubai arriving in Kuala Lumpur on the 14th. Teams were then spotted running around Penang, Malaysia on the 16th. There is room for one leg in that gap.
Teams were seen in Singapore and then Shanghai after Malaysia. And then San Francisco
That gives a potential 10 legs confirmed:
Valparaiso, Chile
Puerto Varas, Chile
Bariloche, Argentina
Buenos Aires, Argentina??
Paraguay
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia??
Penang, Malaysia
Singapore
Shanghai, China
San Francisco, USA
now, the gap between the Paraguay leg (ending either on the 6th/7th), and the possible first Malaysia leg (on the 14th) leaves room for about 3 legs (and we now know for sure that at least one leg was spent in both Europe and Africa, thanks to Macaroons)

David Junior,
It looks to me like you have 2 transit points on your list, Buenos Aires and Kuala Lumpur. Although there is no hard information either way, I do not believe that legs were run in either place. They were just an airport connecting point according to my thinking about this. You have 8 sound legs. Based on the known timing, there could be 11 or 12 legs, most likely 11. That means there are 3 legs not accounted for yet either before Paraguay or between Paraguay and Penang.

for both the Buenos Aires and Kuala Lumpur speculation I was looking more at the gaps between sightings:
Bariloche (2nd/3rd of December) to Ascuncion (5th/6th). You can totally fit another leg in there with ease (BA was just the most likely)
then there is a gap between the UAE to KL flight (14th) and teams being sighted in Penang (16th). Just saying that there is room in both places, which leaves plenty of room for 13 legs
Glamazon Racer:
A quick question here.
I was wondering who you guys thought were the Final Three. From what I read, I take it as Caitlin/Brent, the cowboys, and the short-haired women (sorry, I can't remember the names). Is this it, or do you guys think something else is possible? :duno:
