TAR 20 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
Prophet:
I agree, Plaidmoon, also because if they are taking a non-circumnavigating route, Africa would be logically next after Qatar if they are indeed going there after a possible Nepal visit.

Yeah,but Italy --> Doha --> Kathmandu ---> Delhi ---> Beijing ---> Mongolia ---> Durban?
I don't see how...

Let's get real here. The probability of that type of route structure is so close to 0 it is not worth considering. Going to Mongolia is very feasible, but once there teams would fly to the U.S., not backtrack to Durban.
it could work think back season 7

For those who remember it, AR7 went east as far as Lucknow and Alleppey in India before turning back westward. Mongolia (let's say Ulaanbataar just for reference purposes) is another roughly 2500 miles. At that point a race is clearly continuing eastward across the Pacific Ocean.
If Durban was right and Beijing and Mongolia are not, then AR20 would be headed generally northwest to reach the U.S. more than 8000 miles away.

Alleppey was season 4, Jodphur was season 7.
For those who this might be the sequester house there is two things going against that:
1) Usually the sequester house is in a warm climate (Ulanbataar is the coldest capital city in the world)
2) Its so late in the race teams eliminated would likely be either decoys or head to the final destination city directly.

I was kidding about the sequester site being in Mongolia. It makes no sense to send teams from Argentina to Ulanbataar. Generally, it's somewhere warm and central to the first part of the race. In this case, Central or South America seem likely.
I agree that any teams eliminated now would likely be headed for decoy duty.
georgiapeach:
Hang on guys...there are a lot of assumptions being made here.
We have one tweeter who saw teams arr Doha from Katmandu. ONE tweet>>needs supporting documentation but reasonable.
One tweeter saying saw B/R....on flight to Beijing. Hmmm. This also needs supporting documention. Mongolia seems a red herring.
South Africa who knows? Can't be in So Africa/Beijing/Mongolia at same time, :lol: This could be local?
Remember that ALL tweets are viewed with suspicion until confirmed.... there are people trying to confuse/mislead us.
Prophet:
The real trouble with Beijing is that there was not enough time from arrival in Qatar to have a leg there then leave for China. And there is absolutely no sense in using Doha as a connection to get from Katmandu to Beijing.
But this person claims to be a BB superfan and to have gotten their autographs so it's hard to discredit the sighting. Maybe Brenchel was being rerouted back to the States because they were eliminated in Nepal?
NVM that^ she claimed to be traveling from Doha to Beijing (which seems to confirm the other sighting there) and that there were "cameramen in black" with them. I don't know...

Just Got her Replies here guys :
RT tamlyncanham: yes, they were looking 4 clues at the museum
and to one of our detective too:
RT @tamlyncanham @ovalorange1 they were looking 4 clues at the museum,
spotted running near the ICC. It's not an SA version, just 1 of the stops.
Really hoped for the pictures, she said she's gonna ask one of her friends who also spotted teams to send it to her..
fingers crossed if this is true Durban, SA..
