TAR 19 Speculation and Discussion *of SPOILERS*
theschnauzers:
I believe that the sightings on flights headed towards Phuket had more teams (five?) than the number of teams that would have been eliminated by then (three.)
If teams only flew into Phuket, and then went on to locations 50 to 100 miles away from the airport, then there wouldn't likely have been many sightings in Phuket. Yes, the information requires circumstantial evidence, but it's not clear that the conclusion that the ES being in the area this season isn't cut-and-dry either.
We've been able to deduce legs from one airport sighting in other recent seasons, (We had a bit of that in several of the recent seasons), so we'll have to wait and see what other pieces of the mosaic ultimately come ontp the table.
mds1978:
Was any team spotted leaving the airport in Phuket? Is there any indication whatsoever that at least one team, at the very least, was headed toward the exit of the airport?
Having been there myself, I know that there's only one terminal area and one place to catch a taxi. Because it's a popular tourist spot, there are tons of Western travelers at the airport. They would have been spotted, even if leaving Phuket proper...they would have been noticed leaving the airport.

ETA: The bigger point I'm trying to make here is not whether leg #4 is Phuket or not, but rather to find out what criteria, if any, is being used to determine what is speculation and what is confirmed. Usually it's the latter only after there's photo evidence to back it up, and/or more than one person tweets about it/posts a facebook update. Otherwise you're relying on one person's tweet with no evidence, like that jared kid at the start of this race....and we all know how that turned out.
Is there not some sort of standard used for making such distinctions? If not, shouldn't there be?
Declive:
Yeah,this flight to Phuket it's a mistery...
Declive:
Well,but we already have Malawi and Kenya,right?

They were spotted, that's how we know they were there. This is the post that clarifies that I believe.

There were too many teams to be headed to ES. I don't know why there were not other sightings but that does not mean they were not there.
