You don't have to have your bag with you. You just have to have the necessary items for travel and racing with you. Let's see if any of the Final 3 teams ditch their baggage.

Calibound2:
Is there a difference between publicly announcing when and where the starting line will take place?
Is there a difference between talking about the 11 teams flying to Iceland before they have landed?

I’m just reading your message and seriously wondering. I’m not meaning to be rude.

If the reason why it’s different is because it is the final leg and we don’t want to know the exact placement of the final 3 teams (aka don’t want fans documenting the final leg and spoiling it) . Can’t we just post that instead and say we want everyone to tune in and watch the show because it’s about to be cancelled if there aren’t enough viewers.

I'm sure someone can give a more definitive answer, but allow me to put in my two cents.

1) This season's starting line was publicly announced by CBS, so there was no question about anybody spoiling the start.  RFF has, in fact, discovered some of the previous starting lines (through some excellent detective work) but does not publicly disclose this information until the racers have started racing (or, in at least one case, slightly before, when the racers are at the starting line).

2) This information was also disclosed through multiple sources this season, mostly because of the public start.  Many people had a chance to learn the first destination from the racers themselves. I believe RFF mostly wants to protect the finish line and the final US destination, but again usually only discloses destinations when the racers are safely on their way.

Ok cause that’s my question.. if they are afraid of some cuckoo crazy going to the finish line city , wouldn’t they be even more afraid to publicly announce where the starting line is being held and give plenty of advanced notice.

Or our members that live in cities that host legs of the race that know they are going to be there and head to the locations to take pictures. How is it any different?

Sorry I was just wondering what makes the final destination so special and secret when just the other day there were a bunch of people in Hong Kong waiting at the airport
