Not necessarily, Seasons 3 (12), 5 (12), 6 (11), and 10 (13) had more than 10 countries
with 7, 9, 11, 12, and 17 having 10 and most others with at least 9
only seasons 2 and 13 had 8
so, i don't think it's THAT big of a stretch to have 14
we already have:
Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China (Hong Kong), South Africa, and Israel
having a leg spread over 2 countries really helps the cause, so if we have a couple of those, it will become a whole lot more reasonable a figure

And don't forget, there's a confirmed sightings in Sri Lanka and Singapore and also its Macau and not Hong Kong. :waves:

I'm not debating how safe it is, or using speculation to refute these rumours.
--- Quote ---there are 200 nations in the world, but because it's impossible to go from Israel to an Arab nation - Israel can't be visited? Are you for real?
anyway teams are right now in Israel, and there will be a leg in Israel and it really doesn't matter what you think.

If you have an Israeli stamp in your passport, regardless of your country of origin, you will not be allowed to enter about twenty different Arabic countries, including a large proportion of countries likely to be visited at some point on TAR Australia or TAR Asia (yes, I'll grant you Saudi Arabia's not coming any time soon). But the same thing also works in reverse: you can't enter Israel with stamps from many Arabic countries in your passport -- including from Oman, which many ActiveTV personnel including this show's executive visited as part of TAR Asia 3.
In fact, that's the reason TAR Israel (also produced by the same company) began right at the airport -- the ActiveTV crew couldn't get into the country itself without ruining their chances of entering the other Arabic countries in future, so they minimised the amount of work the local crews would have to do without being overseen by Michael McKay. And all the pre-race preparations, deals, and final auditions were conducted in Dubai, which both the Australian and Israeli crews were easily able to get to. Given they wouldn't enter the country then, I don't think they'll be entering the country now.
Add in the "Whee, aren't we so great!" nature of the Israeli media (which is nearly as propagandic as the Chinese media), and I just can't buy the stories being true. Not least of all because we haven't been swamped with tweets from the sites mentioned in the reports.
The airport photo? There's certainly not enough in there to state without reservation that it's in Tel Aviv. It could be in any airport in the world.
