TAR 17 Speculation

--- Quote from: Joab on June 09, 2010, 11:58:32 AM ---I am pretty sure they could very well be in Korea although this may be pure speculation. Remembered how half of us predicted them to start near Korea for TAR 17?
This is completely speculation, but the only country i could foresee TAR 17 definitely visiting after Korea would be The Phillippines. And it is possible for TAR 17 to travel to Korea if they do 1 leg in Korea, 2 legs in Phillipines, 2 legs in another country further down Southeast Asia (Indonesia, anyone?).. and if they have time, they can even cross continent to Australia and New Zealand. Seems like a pretty good route, to have Asia stuck in the middle of the season instead of the start and the beginning like what we have for the past many seasons.

Taking this to spec. I personally see perhaps a visit to Central Asia after Russia. Philippines or S. Korea are highly likely in this race, but I believe the penultimate leg will be in Vancouver, not Latin America. Going to S. America usually increases the cost of travelling. Besides, I like the 4 continent races the best.
mjriches2005:
My speculation is that they will go in a routing like this (North America-Europe-Africa-Europe-Asia-Oceania-North America) 12-13 legs is possible this season, but I would put Vancouver as a single leg or 2 legs like the past couple seasons (Prague, Shanghai), not a penultimate leg.

I've read articles on Yahoo this morning that reports that CBS has already sold a;; of its advertising time for this upcoming season (2010-2011). This also leads me to think that 12 or 13 episodes may be possible for TAR 17, especially if the premiere week is earlier this year than ;ast year.
My thinking on the race course after St. Petersburg is similar to Joab's' I think there won
t be much time spent in mainland Asia, there will be time spent in Oceania, and all of th teams and the viewers will be surprised with a eastward jainy across the South Pacific.
TAR has only gone to the Caribbean-Central America twice-- TAR 7 tp Jamaica and Puerto Rico, and FE to Panama and Costa Rica. (i treat Mexico as a North American nation.) I don't think Vancouver is in the cards this time, I also think a final destination city in the southeast or eastern US is overdue.

Could we be in for a 6-continent race? Those are great too and would definitely spur some interest.
Yeah, I'm speculating that TAR has its budget back up and there's 13 episodes this season.
Paron:
Hopefully, no double-legs. I've hated those since one screwed Jaime & Cara out of a win (though they at least still got prizes).
