Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's odd/interesting that in Episode 7 promo 2's fight at the airport, Art and JJ are shown butting in and telling Brendon that "you're here to follow, bro, you're not here to play... this isn't 'Follow the Leader'" and then it cuts to Rachel telling Vanessa and Ralph to just get out of their faces. This is (at least) the second time that CBS has given us footage of Art and JJ making snarky comments about Brenchel 'following' others in the race. Sorry, but every team that isn't the 'lead' is considered 'following', get over it.
I'm wondering if this is a fore-shadowing of the finale. Between the Leg 3 curse and Karma being the b!tch that she is, especially on the race, it's quite possible Brenchel wind up winning with Art/JJ being 3rd... if so, I'll be LMAO!!!

I'd love for that happen! :conf:
And it's possible. No matter how you might feel about Rachel, she and Brendon have come off the least horrible between them and Art & JJ and Vanessa & Ralph. Edits aren't as important on TAR as they are on BB or Survivor, but Rachel & Brendon are getting a great edit and could be setting up their win.

I have a feeling teams will likely "hop" to the next leg in Tanzania the same way.

I feel exactly the opposite. Charter flights were used to transport teams quickly in to the Ngorongoro Crater from Arusha. theschnauzers, it's possible that charter flights will move teams around in Tanzania, but I doubt it. I think their tent encampment represents some temporary stability in their race lives. With all the potential for animal photography, why would WRP want to go anywhere else (although it appears that they do want to go close-by to Lake Manyara)? From Lake Manyara, my memory of AR5 ep.7 where teams exited from the Lake Manyara lookout (in Kibaoni) by 100 mile taxi back to Arusha and then took charter flights to Nairobi (to avoid time delays I imagine). I expect that AR20 teams will exit Tanzania starting at Kibaoni as follows:
1. Take a cab the 100 miles.
2. Take a bus (not a charter flight) from Arusha 130 miles back to Nairobi. Another possibility is one of 6 flights Kilimanjaro (JRO) to Nairobi (NBO) already enumerated on the AR20 Transportation thread:
PW723 0600 0645
PW721 0915 0955
5H458 1415 1500
PW727 1530 1645
5H452 1720 1820
PW725 1940 2030
I don't see charters as either necessary or economic.
There are no absolutes here. it is all judgment at this point. Yours may be right or mine might.

Fun fact, if they'd visited it in Season 19 instead, I would have been there at the exact same time!

When AR went to Kerala he posted some great pics over here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,26353.0.html

I guessed that it would be Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. With Kochi specified for the April 22 telecast, Thiruvananthapuram is likely to be the area selected for the April 29 telecast.

I want to look ahead to leg 11 transportation where teams will have to fly from probably either Kochi or Trivandrum airports to Kansai Airprot in Osaka. It will take a minimum of 2 connections and nearly 24 hours to make the shortest possible trip. I have looked at routes through Chennai and through Mumbai and I strongly prefer those connecting in Mumbai. I have also looked at a second connection in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Hong Kong, which I believe have the best possibilities for decent schedules. It turns out that the optimal second flight is Mumbai to Bangkok and the third is Bangkok to Osaka. Here are the specifics:
16 Dec. TRV BOM AI668 0938 1134
or COK BOM AI682 0720 0905 or COK BOM 9W2112 0850 1043
16 Dec. BOM BKK 9W68 1315 1847
16 Dec. BKK TG622 2324 0636+1
