In all likelihood, CBS will announce the teams and the schedule for that night in late January.

As apskip pointed out.....it is easier to fly to Zurich from Vienna, then take the train from Zurich to Buchs SG. Unless Production did another rolling pit stop and used the train from Vienna to Buchs SG. One thing I have noticed in TAR 18, is what I call a "rally point." By that, I mean that park/courtyard in Sydney where all the teams hung out for a while and the same thing in Lijiang......where those people talked to Christina. Production may have been doing this all along and I just never noticed it till now. If they did have a pit stop around Liechtenstein, Buchs or Sargans.......K/J could have been in transit to another "rally point" in Zurich or to their hotel in Zurich before the next leg. Or as speculated before, they are eliminated and on the way to a hotel/flight to Brasil. I would think that Production would want to separate the teams on the way to Zurich to keep them from all being noticed......maybe.
Someone mentioned what a small country Liechtenstein is.......yes it is one of those small European pincipalities.......but I just think of Liechtenstein as a very large bank.

This is some very good information, Doc! I have also noticed the "rally points" throughout this season and this could explain why KJ were not racing while on the train.
Liechtenstein is the world's largest producer of sausage casings and false teeth. :stirtp: You would think the Race could use that somehow. :snics:

Some announcements have already been made; CBS posted one on Monday for some shows that will premiere as late as April.
If you mean the more detailed scheduling, it's usually about a month before the air date, but details for some shows such as TAR, might only be a week ahead. I've also noticed that sweeps months (February, May) tend to be three or four weeks ahead so that trade and entertainment publications can schedule their articles. My suggesting late January is based on February being a sweeps month, and usually (but not always), one can piece together a planned extended episode. (One good source for this are the show pages at the Futon Critic; (link) At the moment they've projected the 12 episodes, and a preemption on April 3rd, so that the finale would be on May 15th. So they don't have any further details yet, either.

If memory serves me right, there was a sausage detour in All-Stars (making sausage ropes and consuming them cooked) and there was a false teeth task in TAR 14, IIRC.
If it wasn't AS, then it was TAR 9 as I remember Eric being at that task.
