Amazing Race 10 Spoilers
gingerman28:
TPTB for TAR are known to follow the rule that the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line! They have been known to backtrack and go by the longest way just to pile up the miles so that they can brag that TAR10, for example, covered a record 75,000 miles on their trip around the world. So the seemingly indiret itinerary from Seattle to Ulan Bator (via Hawaii and or Tokyo) down to New Zealand up to Singapore and then on to Kuwait via New Delhi makes sense.

Thank you for your explanation gingerman. What you say makes sense.

puddin' recently posted an article from TV Week http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?topic=8594.0
In that article, Phil admitted to using mock teams to test various tasks in each leg. All this great info has me skeptical that we are seeing acutal racers. None-the-less, it is fun to chase down leads and it will be even more fun to see if all of this is correct next Fall.
Imagine how much glee we will feel ;D :jumpy: when the teams are posted on the CBS web site and one team is all-female from Alabama.
Thanks for all the input.

I'm still a little bit confused, so help me out on the pictures of the cars. Scenes #1, #8 and #10 show a lineup of seven cars with empty space to the left of the last car. These scenes seem to be in front of the Kuwait Towers. But in scenes #2, #3 and #5 there is a curb and shrub next to the last car and we see at least one team and cameracrew walking off to the left. So to me this is two locations. Can our friend in K set me straight. And how many cars actually are seen at the Kuwait Tower. K says that when he took the picture (seven cars) one more was still to come. That would put the number of teams in Kuwait at 8 and mean only three legs had been run before arriving in Kuwait.
Also if we have a sighting now in Mongolia (May 31)and New Zealand (June 2) we now have a week to kill before the surviving eight teams arrive in Kuwait. And with the loss of a day because we cross the International Date Line, we would have to have the teams leave Seattle on May 28. And if they do go to Mongolia first, they probably connect through Tokyo.

All the pictures of the cars were taken at the Kuwait Towers; there were 7 cars there and I saw one more on the way (total 8). The pictures look inverted because I took the shots from the rearview mirror of my car. Keep in mind that the cars don't necessarily represent the number of teams. I saw quite a few crew people (as seen in the shot taken by Nibaq).
I will check if any of my friends have pictures; I think Nibaq might have a couple from the inside the airport.
