TAR 19 Speculation and Discussion *of SPOILERS*

No. I just posted what i think it's gonna happen.
But i think europe would be on the leg7,probably Servia,Spain or Portugal,what do you guys think?

apskip:
There has been no visits to Central America since AR8, so I agree with the notion of AR19 doing one or two stops there. The only visits were AR3 to Mexico City and the Mayan Riviera and AR8 to Panama City and Costa Rica. There was also Jamaica in AR7, but although Caribbean islands are technically North America I don't tend believe that is where AR19 will go.

I disagree on no Europe. It is summer in Europe, the most likely time to visit it. I think 3 legs there are likely. I expect no legs in South America for AR19.

Wait a second. I've been keeping a close watch on this site over the past week and unless I'm missing something major, what evidence is there that Phuket was an actual leg of the race? I don't recall a single sighting there other than a few teams being spotted in the airport ONLY. Not being filmed, by the way.

Today I see several posts that are very definitive about Phuket being the fourth leg, with no disclaimer that it's just speculation. So what am I missing?

I know people get very excited when new info starts coming in, and many want to be the first to post the latest updated timelines, but when someone throws out some spec and then a few people repeat it, suddenly it turns into "fact" and everyone assumes it's confirmed. It's very confusing and frustrating when this distinction isn't made clear, especially when you're following these threads as regularly as I do and you suddenly see that in the two hours since last browsing that things that were just speculation are now being reported as confirmed, and I'm left scratching my head wondering what I missed and on what basis things are being considered confirmed.

Peach usually does a great job distinguishing this when people post stuff, but even today she seems to be confirming the 4th leg being in Phuket, and again, I'm not sure what I'm missing because I don't recall seeing any sightings other than the airport. Could someone please clarify?

Prophet:
There have been several good posts that explain why this is likely. My argument is this:

1. We know all teams were on a flight from Bangkok to Phuket.

2. There is no good reason for them to fly from Jakarta to Bangkok to Phuket except that they were doing a leg in the area.

Read my previous posts about this. Specifically, about the perfectly good reasons that a few teams would be spotted in Phuket (and it was a few, not all teams, that were spotted in Phuket) if they were on their way to Elimination Station, which is probably the same one used last season in Ko Samui. I showed how flights through Phuket were over $300 cheaper than the ones that went through Bangkok only.

Am I missing the tweet that reported that all of the teams and crew were spotted in Phuket? And not just in the airport...speaking of which, if Phuket was the destination point, wouldn't the sighting(s) have been of the teams rushing to leave the airport? And isn't that the type of stuff they usually like to film?
