Topic: TAR 27 Speculation and Discussion of **SPOILERS**

[Marionete]

Lesson learned.
Pleeease someone say you have a copy of the photo :/
I could even try to ask the girl for that photo, if nobody has saved it, but I don't really want to disturb her anymore.

[Boingo]

Pictures disappear, especially if the person starts getting messages about it. I hope somebody saved a copy of it.

   ...you are one lucky guy, Plaidmoon....  your wish has been granted...

...note to TPTB, please feel free to remove this pic if it is not appropriate..

[Maanca]

Thank goodness! 

I guess the moral of the story here is: Save first, ask questions later

[fossil-racer]

Spec
Leg 1 Rio
Leg 2 teams flew to Buenos Aires via aerolinaargentina?
Leg 3 teams took bus to the Areco

3 legs down probably

[fossil-racer]

The video was posted 6 hours ago
So leg 3?
The clue box pic showed dark skies and the video had dark skies so I could see this as the same leg

Also the first few seconds looked like a another team
So cheerleaders and the brothers team

[Xarles]

Wow! That's ONE video Candi Lee! Clear instructions! I had my doubts as I am not very good id'ing faces but those blue nails gave them away... team Cheerleaders! Thanks WPneumonia for the blue nails shot at the start line! The address listed seems like a regular house/bldg in Buenos Aires. Hopefully team Argentina can find out more. Haven't contacted the author as I believe there may be more trust btwn locals.... go Ale!

I did some quick research and found its a pioneer in the art of aerial dance and is based in Buenos Aires, so I could see TAR doing a task there (I would predict a Roadblock).

Also, it says they infuse aerial with tango, an Argentine classic.

Argentina.

Switchback!

Any task made infamous will most likely become a switchback. Back then, I wouldn't be surprised if this meat roadblock would come back. (and it did ) My guess? I won't be surprised to see the watermelon roadblock, sandcastle roadblock, compass & treasure roadblock, and even the lock roadblock as mentioned earlier in the thread.

Tracing back history:
TAR15: Haybales (NEL)
TAR21: Pole Vault (EL)
TAR22: Cheese (EL) Briefcase (Finale)
TAR25: Ox (NEL)

So... 50-50?

Switchback aside...

This would mean Jin & Ernest and Krista & Tiffany are safe until Leg 3 right?

[gamerfan09]

Wait, where was it mentioned that there would be a switchback?

It's only a spec, but check pages 8-9.

Looking at the recent pics in the live thread, and the previous mention of the cheerleaders and the dancers, I'm wondering whether these 2 are way ahead or fighting for last. We often see pics of teams fighting for last, like Shelley & Nici during England or the Cowboys back in TAR18, so I'm just wondering.

[Xarles]

Out of Argentina, without backtracking, there are nine possible destinations in two clusters: Europe and the Middle East.

Europe
1 Madrid Aerolíneas/Iberia/Air Europa
2 Rome Aerolíneas/Alitalia
3 Paris Air France
4 Amsterdam KLM
5 Frankfurt Lufthansa
6 London British

Middle East
1 (Europe/Asia) Istanbul Turkish
2 Dubai Emirates
3 Doha Qatar

Front or middle is my guess
If they are fighting for last, the girls would be more deparate

Perhaps Middle East will be skipped due to MERS.

Interesting you say that, I was gonna say they seemed real paniced haha

[dryedmangoez]

Speaking of TAR7, I wouldn't mind seeing them do an almost identical route: South America > Africa or Middle East > Asia > Europe > East Coast Finish Line
Would be great to have mid-Race Asian Legs.

[Neobie]

Robertino's video was taken at the junction of Fray Justo Santamaria de Oro and Costa Rica in Buenos Aires. Teams were running southeast from a warehouse area?

Not too far between the two locations.

[Platrium]

I assume they are done with Leg 3, and with 21 days only, I'm thinking that they'll be starting Leg 4 by today or tomorrow.

My predictions on the next location: Iceland, Greece, Italy, Ireland
I would include Spain, but since they just visited Spanish and Portuguese countries, I'm doubting they'll visit Spain and Portugal.

Another possibility is South Africa. Long time no visit as far as I remember.

On other news, I have not seen any boot order so far. I only know that TMZ arrived last in Rio, and 2 teams were recently seen in Argentina.

Hmm, well they surely didn't look too calm in that one.
I see 2 possibilities - they are either in the bottom and they know it, or they can be in absolutely any place but just a bit frustrated (and therefore a bit panicked) due to not being able to find their next destination. And they seem to have had trouble with taxis and assumingly other locals, so that could add up.

Day 1: LA
Day 2: Rio
Day 3: Getaway
Day 4: Buenos Aires
Day 5: Areco
Day 6: Getaway
Day 7: Europe
...
Day 21: Finale

I'd start looking at Paris.

Getaway? You mean extended Pit Stop? Teams would arrive in Europe until Day 8? The distance between Buenos Aires and the next European destination city is 6500-7000 miles away.

Here's the possible list of European cities from BsAs:

Dublin - 6826 miles
Paris - 6862 miles
Brussels - 7021 miles
Manchester - 6945 miles
Barcelona - 6499 miles
Madrid - 6238 miles
Cologne - 7111 miles
Dusseldorf - 7117 miles
Zurich - 7008 miles
Milan - 6949 miles

Interesting list........ In my search I only found the following direct European city connections from BsAs.
Madrid
Rome
London
Amsterdam
Frankfurt
Paris

[naejae91]

Leg 4 most likely happen in Europe but I have no idea which European countries will be visited next. Not to mention it might have small possibility to visit Africa via Sao Paulo to Johannesburg (see TAR7 and TAR11) or Oceania via Santiago to Auckland (see TAR13).
