TAR 21 Predictions
krabbe:
I don't think they'll visit Egypt, with the Mubarak sentencing the people are MAD. Demonstrations in big cities will disrupt the race course. As for Middle East, if they do visit it again this season, it's most likely the same old country (Qatar, Kuwait, Oman) since they're proven to be more stable than others.
addie:
Qatar hasn't been visited

I've never thought about it that way Jimmer, but its a good theory - I guess this explains for the number of times asia has been visited. What would you divide asia into?

JordanJones123,
It is a good theory but it does not explain the number of times Asia has been visited. Here are the land areas of the continents as % of the world total of 57.3 million square miles:
Asia 30.0%
Africa 20.3%
North America 16.3%
South America 12.0%
Antarctica 8.9%
Europe 6.7%
Australia/Oceania 5.2%
To interpret what this means you have to have a qualitative sense of where Amazing Races have been (a quantitative approach is possible for anyone with a lot of time to burn). I think Asia is represented at about 30% of all Amazing Race legs. I think Africa is underrepresented at about 20.3%. North America has a major underrepresentation at 16.3%. South America is represented at about 12%. Europe is the one continent that has huge overrepresentation at 6.7%. Australia/Oceania is likely overrepresented at 5.2%. Antarctica has never been visited, so it is underrepresented.
Zack.:
Wouldn't it be more conducive to analyze the continents by population or even by economy, as that motivates infrastructure, transport, lodging, possible financial incentive, etc.? In that respect the division of legs is expected (more legs in Europe than in Africa, more legs in Asia than in South America and so on).
Also, I think we'll have a visit to Russia this year, especially if we're still in Asia in leg 4. It could end up being the inverse of TAR 14, with Asia - Asian Russia - Europe.
