Questions
theschnauzers:
When trying to look at the patterns for NELs, it's not only the number of legs, but the total number of teams that season which are factors. Some of the above posts are mixing 11 team and 12 team seasons, as well as the total number of legs and episodes (to account for uber-legs. You need to know both to see how many total NELs there are in a particular season.
This season is unusual for having 12 legs and 11 teams, because that generates an extra NEL than other recent seasons. On paper there would need to be 3 NELs (11 teams minus final three is 8 eliminations and final leg) I still wonder in the back of my mind if there's an uberleg in there somewhere which would reduce things to 2 NELs. OTOH, the intersection is there this week, and someone said that thens to be an NEL leg. (I honestly haven't checked if that is true.)
Caelestor:
Elimination station should also be taken into account.
The 5 teams at ES need to be eliminated at places that can easily deliver them to Mexico (i.e. before Seychelles).
If I were the TPTB, I would have a TBC in France: daytime in Lille, back to Paris at night. Probably not the case though.

Plz tell me what is an uber-leg and OTOH? :duno:
theschnauzers:
uber leg refers to the double-jointed to-be-continued legs. Different people like to call that concept in different ways. I like "uber" (from the German adjective form that means (giant-, large-, super- great- depending on context) because it's short and easy to remember.
OTOH = On The Other Hand.
