Topic: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!!

[georgiapeach]

There was a guy from facebook post that Amazing Race will be heading to Nepal next week.  I think he is from Nepal.

Did he say where specifically in the country like Kathmandu?

'

This guy is asking everyone IF they are coming. he wants a job.
His reason for thinking they are coming is faulty.

 I would not count on Nepal based on his info. Sadly, one of my favorite places in the world!

Cheers for the clarification; bummer.

[I ♥ TAR]

Is Can Tho 3rd leg?

I think first three legs are either
Thailand I - Thailand II - Vietnam
or
Thailand - Vietnam I - Vietnam II.

Very possible! But if it was filmed could have been about 10-12 hours ago...

My understanding is that TAR 36 will have 90 minute legs? So with 13 teams, 11 legs (10 eliminations + finale)?

I have a question. Are we going to be having 11 legs, with one of them being a Mega leg, to have the equivalent of 12 episodes? I know Phil said on Twitter awhile back that the there will be the same amount of episodes just each episode will be longer.

Peach, you made my day when I read in Live that they may have been in Vietnam. Another country checked off the speculated 33 route, leaving only one... <3

I'm assuming that with every leg 90 minutes, there's no more need for mega legs. Just add additional roadblocks and route infos to flesh out every leg. So 11 episodes, assuming there won't be any NELs going forward.

possible leg 4 today?

leg 1 thailand jun 15
leg2 thailand jun 16
leg3 vietnam jun 18
leg 4 vietnam jun 19

[Jjw26]

We believe today was leg 3

[Jingguu]

If they are filming Can Tho as part of leg 3 or 4, perhaps they may film in Ho Chi Minh City as well since it's about 170km away.

i am guessing:

leg 1: bangkok, Thailand - june 15
leg 2: thailand - june 16/17
leg 3/4: hcmc/can tho - june 18/19

keep on racing leg ? it looks like andrea/malaina and greg and john are still running after talking to phil

Andrea & Malaina were spotted doing confessionals basically immediately after the pit stop so I don't think so. Maybe Phil just wanted them out of the show bc another team was coming up.

30 and 31 started the trend of having a full extra day between legs with short distance covered (minus a megaleg or intentional keep on racing) - TAR 30 in France, TAR 31 in Vietnam and Switzerland, so I wouldn't be surprised at:

Leg 1 - July 15 - Bangkok, Vietnam
Leg 2 - July 17 - somewhere in Thailand or Vietnam
Leg 3 - July 19 - Can Tho, Vietnam

The most common way to get to Can Tho and areas surrounding it is over land (they visited Cai Be on the other side of the Mekong in TAR 3 by taxi and in TAR 15 by bus), but I suspect they might be force teams to fly to Can Tho instead, allowing Phil to get ahead of the teams on July 18th by flying to Ho Chi Minh City.

Nevermind. You might actually be right

it could still be an elimination kor leg like in puerto vallarta last season

[Zack.]

I'm assuming it's that as well. Someone brought up the possibility of teams booking their flight like with TAR 32 leaving Bogota for Manaus but in that leg they filmed tbat set up at the Pit Stop in daylight and then departed in late evening, vs here where the teams are running off the mat. If there's a long wait for a transport (TAR 28 waiting for the midnight train to Georgia, etc) they could use the time to film confessionals rather than just have teams sit somewhere for hours.

[angelbaby09]

i wonder where they might go next? singapore? indonesia?

[Parovic]

Where do the teams leave?
If they leave in HCM city,

The cities are Manila,Seoul,Tokyo,Jakarta when it is at night

Day-time flights are mostly Doha,Denpasar

[Joberio]

Not that it means that they're necessarily out, but who could be out by this time?

So far, everyone in the cast has been accounted for in Vietnam except for Elizabeth & Iliana, Joe & Ian, Rob & Corey, and Morgan & Lena.  Could at least two of those teams (maybe even three) have bitten the dust by now?

They don’t typically stay in SEA for more than 3 legs so westward towards central/south Asia and the middle east or southeast towards Australia/Oceania seems more likely.

Alex & Sheridan and Todd & Ashley were also not spotted in Vietnam. We only saw 7 teams at the pitstop in Can Tho. 11 should have been racing. Outside chance of 12 if one of the two believed Thailand legs was a non-elimination, mega-leg or KOR.

Clues were handed out at the end of this third leg, so it looks like this will be a KOR...

[Parovic]

If they book a flight on Expedia and leave Can Tho
So I expect they make a layover in HCMC
Most likely go to Indonesia/Qatar? Based on the flights that are taking off in the last 12 hours

Ah, thanks.  I thought I'd remembered everyone.  Forgot about those two teams.

So that was at least six teams unaccounted for.  Likely any of those six were the first two gone.

[Zack.]

In terms of destinations Vietnam isn't the most connected in Southeast Asia; there are some long-haul flights to Europe but I doubt they go there so early and for most other locations they'll probably connect through Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong.

The one country that stands out is Australia, with multiple nonstop flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Melbourne and Sydney (to say nothing of that as a connection to somewhere else in Australia) and an easy path to continue westward to South Africa or any of the Persian Gulf countries.
