Luiz's tweet was posted at 5:09pm on 24 Jun 2015.
Aerolineas Argentinas has 2 flights out that afternoon:
AR 1253 from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery, 1505-1830; and
AR 1257 from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery, 2020-2345.
(There's a morning flight which wouldn't jive with the "boa tarde" - "good afternoon" - in the tweet.)
The question now is: why would TPTB make the teams arrive in Argentina at night, when they could very well release them early the next morning for a flight arriving in Buenos Aires at around 1pm? Could there have been a task they had to do in the evening?
theschnauzers:
Keep in mind that these days, team releases from pit stops are done to allow Phil, Bert, and Elise to get ahead of the teams for the next leg, to control when teams would travel to the next city/country/continent, and to time when teams may arrive at one or more of the tasks in the next immediate leg, or the leg following. After that they have to maintain the time separation between teams (with due regard for production time credits and penalties that we almost never hear about any more.)
My other reminder, for now, is that we don't have verification whether there were two legs in either Brazil, Argentina, or both. We can infer any one of those three scenarios may be likely, but we shouldn't be assuming one way or the other.
As to Africa -- last season was the first time, in a long time that TAR had been anywhere close to most of Africa. And there's a logical explanation for this. Some of you may remember that a few years ago, a South African-based locale producer for a number of shows, including TAR, died under mysterious circumstances. He had been the person TAR had been using to produce many of their African legs. It had to have taken time for TPTB to find and vet a new person to use in that capacity; and I suspect that last season's legs in Namibia was the first use of a new person or company in that role. Given the relatively long drought in visits to Africa south of the Sahara, it wouldn't be surprising if we see quite a few seasons now where an African country is back in the mix. It is not proof, but it is a consideration to note in trying to find avenues to check for possible sightings as this season, and future seasons, are filmed.
Klowash:
Can anyone confirm about teams that are still racing or at least have a speculation of who is still in the race? :)
Marionete:
What you see is what you get - the first posts says everything we know so far (or, at least, all that has been posted here publicly). Speculation in this case would be pointless and would simply turn into wishlist.
