TAR 20 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
Glamazon Racer:
I think it will be very interesting to see TAR20 not circumnavigate the globe. It hasn't been done for such a long time that it will be rather interesting to see something different after the last few seasons.
Furthermore, assuming both Nepal and Qatar are true, that brings us to 3 countries on TAR20 that have never hosted a leg before! :cmas16

Hello Peach [et al],
I'm a huge fan of your community, and just wanted to contribute my two cents re: the revelation that Laos was the country skipped over last time. I have been doing PhD research/Fulbright Grant in Laos for about four months now (in Luang Phabang) and it is highly unlikely that they used the country this time around (although I hope to be corrected!). If they came here, they most likely would go to Vientiane or Luang Phabang--I would have no way if they went to Vientiane. However, this month in Laos is the tourist high season, and given the adversity (and lack of sightings/paucity of obvious locations to place clue boxes) of TAR to attract attention, it doesn't seem likely they were here. Furthermore, this month in Luang Phabang was an international film festival and the Lao National Games are going on. While this would make for an EXCELLENT clue/route info task, the city is literally flooded with people, infrastructure is totally clogged, and all around, the city is burgeoning to its breeches with outsiders. I'm hoping I'm proven wrong (and I get to see the city I've lived on and off in for two years on TV!), but, it might have to wait to another cycle. :(

Nepal was NOT the lost TAR 19 leg, it was LAOS.

News to me! (and probably others) Any word why?
And Qatar? I think maybe the race went from somewhere to Nepal and now Mumbai.

There is NO evidence that our twiiterer was on the way to Mumbai yet. It could be, as that is her home, but she is also commenting on the Doha terminal, and the flights work.
And I can only say stuff so often? :lol:

:bigwelcome to RFF, EagleSpirit0!
We were hoping to see our missing 19 leg again, but then again I am still waiting for my lost Tanzanian season 11 leg. :lol:
Thank you so much for the good info! If this Nepal/Doha thing proves not to be anything, then we could still have a chance. If they are reversing as Apskip points out is possible (and looks reasonable to me), then it would have to have happened already, or not at all. No way to tell unless we get a sighting!
But please stay around, if and when they go again we would LOVE your expertise!!
I don't know if crowds are considered a plus or a minus at this point.
I never would have thought they would have done Christmas Markets, or other crowded places, but perhaps they think of it as camoflage?? :duno:
