"If you build it, they will come."

Every time a race is going to kick off I feel like I'm 15 again and going on my first date. Excited and not sure whats goings to happen.

Just woken up, Haven't seen anything on Facebook or Twitter yet.

NZ start screams Chile to me even though they're probably starting in Wellington.

If they start in Wellington, They'll probably connect to somewhere through Auckland. Possibly heading to Fiji or Samoa.
-
AKL screams Chile to me because LAN does AKL>SCL and I think Air New Zealand does also. Fiji and Samoa are rather useless places to visit and they would be better as penultimate legs IMO.

It won't surprise me if they do to Chile either. Los Angeles/San Francisco probably won't be out of the question either.
Flights to Chile leave in 6 hours and no sign they have started yet.
-
I'd imagine they will be at Wellington Airport by now. We may not get anything at Wellington Airport but if they connect through Auckland then I can see us getting things there.
-
You can't fly anywhere from Wellington :lol:

Nope xD

Please don't be a NZ leg X_X

Please don't be a NZ leg X_X
Looks like it might be. Not sure why it would be a NZ Leg. Unless it's part of the cost saving measure :/
-
I am hearing AUCKLAND too.
Any idea if they started in Auckland or were in Wellington as speculated?
-
Looks like we have an Auckland start line. Also just noticed that Phil is in the country for the NZ Golf Open. Could it be a coincidence? Not sure what his schedule is but wouldn't be surprised if he had a spare hour to say hello from the start line? ???
-
I am hearing AUCKLAND too.
-
I was just noticing the tweets about Phil playing in the New Zealand Open too. That's mighty convenient, but he's on the south end of the South Island, so he's a long way from Auckland. Too bad, a cameo by him would be fun.

Yeh just found out he is in Queenstown. I thought maybe it was a one off pro-am day yesterday but I think he is playing today as well. Well we don't know where they are off to yet, could be a NZ first leg before travelling off overseas? Could be a chance of a suprise the finish line greeter? :)
-
Heading down to Britomart now. 5 minute walk...

Might be a bit late now, however would be good if you could ask any ticket sellers if anyone came by! :)

I think South American would be likely for Leg 1 or 2, depending if they stay in NZ.
But what we have to remember that if they are having pre-arranged flights, we have to look for flights that producers can get ahead on (like non-stop flights), as well as connecting flights for split flights for the teams.
They could also do something like Salta in TAR20 IIRC where everyone flew on the same flight to Buenos Aires and split on two separate flights to Salta.

Sounds logical to me. They'd all get into Santiago on the same flight and then go somewhere else on different flights.

Grant Bowler tweeted 11 hrs ago that he was relaxing in a Virgin Australia flight lounge. He also retweeted a picture that appeared to be from LAX, but it looks like it was someone else's picture and he liked it.

@GrantBowler Word ;) Enjoy relaxing in the Lounge and have a wonderful flight
Presumably he has arrived by now and that could mean the race will start today. No clue as to where though.
-
Thanks Plaid! We are just ahead of the game, lol.
But soon....
-
So TARAu hasn't started.
-
Are wishlists allowed on this thread?
-
Absolutely NOT. This is a working thread for sorting out spoilers. Thanks for asking!

Okay here is what needs doing now.
Tweets from 3/8 onwards need to be checked.
Instagram from 3/8 onwards needs to be checked.
Blog posts need to be searched.
Catch up time!! Let's be sure we did not miss ONE other post, okay?
Post here: twitter searched using_____ (search phrase) from ____time/date to ____time/date. Next searcher can vary the phrase. GO!!!!!!!!!
-
It's a fairly obvious point, but the flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap arrived at 8:10 PM. The racers were seen at Ankhor Wat the next day. Therefore, I conclude there was an HOO for the teams to wait out.
Unless the production team made the racers take a flight from Ho Chi Minh City the next morning (there were a couple of choices) so they could get ahead of the racers.
-
So we have Legs in Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket and Siem Reap, Cambodia so far?
I believe this will be the second time that the Amazing Race Australia has been in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
-
I checked the twitter account of Grant and his last post was 3 days ago. I don't think we missed the start by that much.
-
Why does the clue envelopes look like they have some sort of Asian symbols or is this just me?
-

They do look different but I think it's just a different font and it still says "The Amazing Race Australia"
It isn't surprising me that we aren't getting that much spoilers. 7's in house production company usually really good with keeping spoilers for their other reality shows under wraps (My Kitchen Rules which is also produced in house has about half of their episodes filmed in public (for the People's Choice and Food Truck challenge's) and we have heard no spoilers online for them.)
-
I think the sitting lady in the Siem Reap pub street pic is having a fish massage. Pure spec, but its quite common in Cambodia and the Siem Reap pubstreet area.
-
JSM is right about the fish massage being super common on Pub Street (had one there myself. Weirdest feeling ever), but I don't believe the photos are showing that. I think they're just showing the ladies in a tuk tuk.
-
So we have Legs in Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket and Siem Reap, Cambodia so far?
I believe this will be the second time that the Amazing Race Australia has been in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
No leg confirmed for Vietnam yet, Ho Chi Minh was probably a connection to Siem Reap.

That's what I was thinking too. They flew from Sydney to Siem Reap with a layover in Ho Chi Minh City. I don't think there was enough time for a night leg in Ho Chi Minh City and a leg the next day at Ankhor Wat.
-
There is the off chance of a TBC leg 1 (Sydney to Ho-Chi-Minh to Ankhor Wat) but the odds of that happening is low (10-15%)
-
So Leg 4 in Namibia I take it? So far that means we have Africa and Asia. Decent route so far.
-
Is anyone helping to re-check and current watch Twitter? ???

I thought I'd throw out some speculation as to where TAR Australia might be after leaving Namibia yesterday. A few weeks back, I saw a tweet from someone who thought they saw an Amazing Race production team at the airport in Nairobi. He seemed to think they were traveling on to somewhere else from Nairobi. So, I've been expecting a leg in Africa, but not in Namibia! If they were traveling to Namibia, I'd expect them to go through Johannesburg. I was expecting a leg in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda or some other part of Kenya (maybe Ngorongoro Crater). So, given that they left Namibia yesterday, they could be in one of those countries today (unless it was yesterday afternoon). Anyone searching might want to keep an eye on those areas. Unfortunately, my time will be limited today but will try to catch up tonight. :(
-
I think that Leg one will be in the Auckland area (unless they had several starting tasks before flying)
Legs two and three look like they're in Siem Reap and Phuket.
Leg four is in Namibia.
This is a great route! It's MUCH better than TAR 24......
-
I had some info suggesting a NZ start...clearly wrong. Looks like Sydney.
But...perhaps that means a NZ finale? ???
-
I think that Leg one will be in the Auckland area (unless they had several starting tasks before flying)
Totally because they flew out of Sydney.
Oops. Awkward for me.... :groan:
-
Finally! An awesome route! Haha screw Tar 24 :P
So from my understanding, legs 1 & 2 are in Siem Reap, leg 3 is in Phuket, and leg 4 is in Namibia. I personally think that leg 5 will also be in Namibia. One leg could be on the Skeleton Coast and the other in a type of safari leg, such as Etosha National Park.
Also, I believe Namibia is going to be the only African country visited. After this they'll probably go up to Europe and from there to the Americas.
-
Just as long as they don't loop back around to Australia via Asia like Season 1, the route has a lot of potential. <3 :P
-
I hope they don't, but I wouldn't be surprised with an F4 leg in South Korea, Japan or Taiwan.
-
I think that the route will go Africa-South America-Central America (or maybe North America)-NZ then finish in Australia
-
I hope they don't, but I wouldn't be surprised with an F4 leg in South Korea, Japan or Taiwan.
I agree. After Africa they'll probably go up to Europe for a single leg, then on to South America for two legs in the same spot, then probably up to North America for two more, and the penultimate leg being in East Asia with a final in New Zealand
-
I would really love 3 or more legs in the Americas - TARAus hasn't produced anything memorable in Europe to this point, so if they go to Europe, I hope they can come up with something better.
-
I could see a Double Namibia>Germany>Iberia> x2 South America>x1 Central America>x1 North America situation occurring, with one extra variable leg.
-
If the sighting from the Philadelphia airport I just posted a while ago is correct (and that seems a BIG IF), then it implies a few things. First of all, TAR Aus 3 probably isn't going to Europe or if they did, it was just for one leg (doubtful). There was time for one leg since they were spotted in Namibia. There are a few possibilities. One, it could be they had another leg in Namibia, somewhere they had to fly to, probably the Skeleton Coast. Second, they could have had a leg elsewhere in Africa. Third, as I mentioned, they could have had one leg in Europe, probably in a major transportation hub - Paris, London, Frankfurt? Finally, since they were seen at the Philadelphia airport and presumably waiting for a flight, they could have had a leg in Philadelphia a couple of days ago. I think we would have seen some sightings from that though, even if they were having a snowstorm. I checked and if they were coming from Namibia to Philadelphia on the fastest flight combination for a Sunday evening/Monday morning, they would have switched planes in, wait for it, Peach, Atlanta. :groan:
Overall, the timing of this sighting doesn't seem right to me. It's too soon.
-
I found a tweet that may be a sighting of TAR Australia or may be a sighting of a team from TAR 24.
Breanne Lloyd @lloydbre 16h
Just met people competing in the amazing race while waiting for our flight...how cool is that?!
12:47 PM Pacific Daylight Time - 17 Mar 2014
From what I can gather, she's trying to fly from Philadelphia to North Carolina but is having troubles with the snowstorm cancelling flights. I'd be surprised if TAR Australia is in the USA already but I suppose they could have done a quick leg in Europe after leaving Namibia and then heading here. I'm also not sure what foreign destinations would fly into Philadelphia en route to somewhere else. Perhaps one of our air travel gurus would know.
I've asked her for more details. I think it's likely she ran into one of the TAR 24 teams.
Bur TAR 24 finished filming months ago. :lol:
-
Meaning that she ran into one of the teams who were traveling on their own but not racing.
(I don't know if this is the right place to post a clarification on a live sighting)
-
No it isn't. Moved to spec.
-
I haven't heard back from the woman who saw "people competing in the amazing race" at the Philadelphia airport, but now I believe that she probably did see TAR Australia. Why? More sightings yesterday, from Las Vegas!
janice huang @janicehuang7 15h
the amazing race (orange team) just came by our boutique and asked where is liberace's car lol and then ran off
2:55 PM Pacific Daylight Time - 18 Mar 2014 from Paradise, NV
Makenna @makennananana 15h
Just saw people from the Amazing Race!
3:20 PM Pacific Daylight Time - 18 Mar 2014 from Paradise, NV
I figured that they were looking for the Liberace museum. However, Wikipedia says the Liberace museum closed in 2010. It is in Paradise, NV where the tweets came from.
Update:
I found that one of Liberace's cars is on display at the Cosmopolitan Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. I don't
know where they were seen but Paradise is a couple of miles (or more) away on the east side of the airport.
The Las Vegas Strip is actually in Paradise, NV and not Las Vegas, NV. It sounds weird but it's true. The Cosmopolitan is one of the newer and fancier hotels on the Strip. The Tweeters were most likely on the Strip.
-
cosmopolitan casino is correct for the car, at least as of two days ago. :tup:
-
No it isn't. Moved to spec.
Thanks and sorry.
-
No prob! YOU were fine, lol.

Posted on the live spotting thread
The Start Line for ARAus3 was Ayres Rock/Uluru. Started there last week!
Awesome start line
No wonder why we missed it.
-
So I assume that would mean that they flew from Alice Springs to Sydney?
-
if Ayers Rock, Cambodia, Thailand, Namibia, Russia and Vegas are all true, then this is shaping up to be a really good season :hearts:
-

Agree with you about the first four locations. However, the whole Russia/Ukraine thing makes me doubt that they're going to Russia.
As for Las Vegas, TAR Israel 3 went there and TAR24's final leg is there, so Vegas isn't THAT interesting IMO

I like this route! I wonder if they had a double leg in the states.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The French and Israeli editions both did (French went did a leg in each Hawaii and LA, while Israeli did 2 or 3 legs around Vegas and the desert) and as long as they are good legs there is nothing wrong with it .
-
I'll let you guys know if they come to Arizona :) TAR Israel 3 did :hrt:
-
So I just realized that this season has visited 5 continents so far from what we know (Oceania, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America)
IF they go to somewhere in South America then TARAus will be the first international version to visit 6 continents in a race and the first since (arguably TAR11) TAR5.
-
With South America the only continent that didn't get visited during the first 2 seasons and the fact that we have the World Cup and Olympics in Brazil in the next few years, it is likely that they will have a leg or two in South America.
Even if this isn't true (but more so if it is) I am amazed with the money that 7 put in to TARAu3 (if only CBS could do the same for TARUS *Hint**Hint*)

I'm incredibly impressed as well with the route that we have so far. I've heard Portugal on the locations thread so that would be a cool location to see. 6 continents is and would be a huge feat for an international version.
-
Portugal <3 I'm still hoping for the outside chance of another European country :X

I'm really loving the route that we know of to be honest hoping that the cast is just as good and we possibily get a new country for the franchise :wohoo:

We haven't really had many photo sightings just word of mouth sightings which is exciting in it's own right. I'm crossing my fingers that we get 6 continents since it sounds like they've visited all of the 5 continents from the last two seasons and only South America remains uncharted.
-
We have confirmation of Argentina. We have a 6 continent race. Will they make it 7?

I wouldn't take the Las Vegas sighting as legitimate, based on timing and the sighting in Portugal, I honestly don't think they went to North America... but you never know! So far we have:
Cambodia
Thailand
Namibia
Russia
Portugal (would fit in very well between Russia and Argentina)
Argentina (production will probably make use of LAN's Buenos Aires to Auckland's flight (that still exists right? CMIIW!) to get teams back to the motherland! Very exciting route if you ask me :)

Still flying. But there's also the alternative from Santiago de Chile.

So from the clue that was posted it looks like it will indeed be Australia vs New Zealand.
-

My guess it that they will have 5-6 teams each instead of 10 teams from Au and 1 or 2 from NZ

Which is a pretty good ratio. I reckon we may see 12 teams. I would be ecstatic if we got 13 legs as well.

inb4 the heavy-set teams are the New Zealanders :lol:

It's a good ratio if you're a kiwi :lol: Don't get me wrong, I only really love the teams based on their personality... but when you have 4 million vs 21 million people, one would think there'd be more interesting Aussie teams. For this theme, I just hope they didn't cut an interesting Aussie team for a boring NZ one to fill a quota or vice versa... though it would be stupid not to have six/five teams from each country for Aus vs NZ :funny:
I wouldn't get too excited about such ideas, this is channel seven's first season doing this. I'm honestly surprised they've decided to choose the farflung locations they have, I expected a cheaper version with closer locations to Aus/NZ.
Also wanna say that I love that new clue... looks a lot cleaner than the old one!
-
I am not a fan of the new clue (the words are too close together), I liked the more spaced out version that they used for season 1&2.
I also have to say that it should be interesting to see teams negotiate the language barrier in some of these countries.
-
Where is this new clue everyone's talking about? I can't find it :(
Ignore that earlier post, I never even looked in the Live Sightings thread before posting that. :lol:
As for the clue, I don't really see much of a change apart from the obvious addition of "Australia v New Zealand".
-
I wouldn't be surprised if the route went Australia -> Asia -> Africa -> Europe -> N. America -> S. America -> Australia for the 6 continent race.
-
I wonder where they are at the moment! I'd imagine we'll hopefully get sightings at the final destination city.
-
So maybe one M/M team (black/grey) and one M/F team (orange) makes it to the end.
-
Well this is the first time in TARAus, That a M/F team has made the final 3.
-
I like a Victorian Great Ocean Road finale .

I like a Victorian Great Ocean Road finale .
As do I! A pretty cool one! I wonder where exactly they finish and where they came from for the penultimate leg.

I have big money on the The Twelve Apostles.

I have big money on the The Twelve Apostles.
Would sort of tie in with the Ayers Rock startline. I can see that.
-
So we have an Ayers Rock start line, Known asia legs in Cambodia and Thailand, At least one leg in Nambia, Two known legs in Russia and Portugal, one known leg in Buenos Aries and the finale in Victoria. that accounts for 7 legs, I'd imagine we'll be getting 12 legs again so there are 5 unknown locations
There is quite a gap between the Portugal leg and the Buenos Aries which makes me think we'll get a leg or two in the US or North America in general. Also a gap between Buenos Aries and the final leg so we could possibly get another leg in South America.
So far I am LOVING this route. Some good locations and I'm still crossing my fingers for a country that is entirely new to the franchise.
-
I think Nambia will be a double leg, I could see Portugal having 2 legs and another country in America (North or South)
Also just for reference when was TARAuVNz filming and when did the Russia/Ukraine issue escalate. I could see production possibly cancelling a leg in Russia for safety reasons.
So far I am LOVING this route. Some good locations and I'm still crossing my fingers for a country that is entirely new to the franchise.
I doubt we will see a new country to the franchise as there is very limited amount if any of countries that are yet to be visited.
-
Russia>Latvia pls? Or Slovakia/Bulgaria/FYROM/Moldova lol/Albania/Serbia/BozHerz/Slovenia/etc
-
Is there a possibility that they stop in New Zealand, before they head over to Australia, since this is an Aus v. NZ season?
-
I was wondering if they would FINISH in NZ..... ???
-
Is there a possibility that they stop in New Zealand, before they head over to Australia, since this is an Aus v. NZ season?
My guess is that NZ will be the final stop before Australia. (Like Singapore in season 1)

I don't think that New Zealand will be in the final leg, I think it will be in the penultimate leg. The Race looks like this so far:
Leg 1: Siem Reap, Cambodia
Leg 2. Thailand
Legs 3 and 4: Namibia
Leg 5: St. Petersburg Russia
Leg 6 or 7: Portugal
Leg 9 or 10: Argentina
Leg 10 or 11, or both: New Zealand
Leg 12: Victoria, Australia
-
Yeah, I meant penultimate leg, sorry for the confusion.
-
Looking at dates, I only think there is time for 1 leg in Namibia, because looking at dates, they were in Thailand, on the 13th, the Namibia spotting was on the 15th, and they were in Russia on the 17th. I don't think there is enough time to go Thailand --> 2 legs of Namibia --> Russia in 4 days. Any thoughts?

Leg 12: Victoria, Australia
You can spec NZ all you want but there's no actual proof of NZ being visited at all... I still consider what happens between Argentina and Australia as unknown.
Also re Thailand, I don't think we can assume the leg was run on the 13th just because the picture was posted then. Is there enough time to travel from Thailand to Namibia, run a leg and then have teams purchasing tickets in Windhoek airport by the 15th? I was starting to think that the photo was uploaded a day or more later, I can't see how they make it to Windhoek and run a leg there in time otherwise.
I do think that our airport sighting is them purchasing tickets straight to Russia.. I had a look at flights and the Windhoek -> Frankfurt flight via Air Namibia seems a viable option to get them to Europe and onto Russia... but it would help if some flight guru could do a much better analysis.
This is how I think it pans out, based on our sightings:
Mar 9: Start at Uluru; fly via Sydney and HCMC to Siem Reap and complete night market tasks
Mar 10: Angkor Wat sightings + PitStop
Mar 11: Leg rest/travel to Thailand
Mar 12: Run leg in Thailand -- assuming delayed uploaded photo on the 13th
Mar 13: Fly to Namibia
Mar 14: Run leg in Namibia
Mar 15: Windhoek Airport sighting -- purchase tickets and fly to presumably Russia?
Mar 16: Unknown --possibly a Russia I leg?
Mar 17: Run Saint Petersburg leg
Mar 18: Unknown
Mar 19: Unknown
Mar 20: Run Lisbon leg
Mar 21: Unknown
Mar 22: Unknown
Mar 23: Unknown
Mar 24: Unknown
Mar 25: Unknown
Mar 26: Run Buenos Aires leg
Mar 27: Unknown
Mar 28: Unknown
Mar 29: Unknown
Mar 30: Run final leg in Victoria
Things I want to know/note:
1. Why is there only two days between Saint Petersburg and Lisbon -- does this suggest a leg in close proximity to Lisbon (Spain anyone?)
2. Where do we think they went between Lisbon and Argentina? Is a NA stop possible? I was thinking Brazil was the most logical place, but where else could they have gone?
3. We lose a day for the int'l date line towards the end of the race, so if there's a leg between Buenos Aires and Victoria it can't have a day dedicated to travel -- the entire leg would need to be run the day before the finale or the day after the BA leg.
-
Okay, the sighting in Namibia occurred around 3 PM in Namibia on March 15.
As oval said, there is SW285 WDH-FRA 2130-0655(+1)
Also, before the Frankfurt flight, there are many flights throughout the day to Johannesburg.
And from Johannesburg, there are many night flights to places in Europe/Asia, such as Dubai, Frankfurt, Istanbul, London, Paris, Zurich, Abu Dubai, Munich, Cairo, Doha, Tel Aviv, and Amsterdam, all arriving in the morning.
Also looking at St. Petersburg, there are arrivals in the early morning on the 17th from Berlin, Vienna , and Istanbul, and that is it. There are multiple flights coming from Moscow to St. Petersburg, where teams could easily fly into Moscow in the morning and then take a 2 hour flight over to Saint Petersburg.
Arriving from Moscow DME in the morning of the 17th we have Tel Aviv, Minsk, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, London, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Madrid
Arriving from Moscow SVO in the morning of the 17th we have Barcelona, Paris, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Rome, Frankfurt, Munich, Budapest, Venice, Prague, Nice, Belgrade, Milan, Brussels, Vienna, London, Odessa, Cairo, and Tel Aviv.
So bottom line, we have lots of places that teams can get to on the 16th and then make it to Saint Petersburg flying out the night of the 16th and arriving the 17th. The issue is that it leaves us with no time stop somewhere, do some tasks, and have a pit stop rest. It is very very unlikely to sandwich something in there, unless there would be some sort of no rest leg/KOR/TBC somewhere.

Any update on when the Race will begin?

Any update on when the Race will begin?
The network usually gives us the air-date about 2-3 weeks before it starts. Currently House Rules is on 7:30 Mon-Wed and 6:30 Sun. I think we have to wait for HR to go down to 3 nights a week and we can assume that the time-slot it gives up is for TARAu or we are getting an 8:30 time-slot like season 1(which isn't really 8:30 because the networks can't keep on time) but if either don't happen then we will have to wait until mid to late June (when HR should finish)
-
Wouldn't it start when the next ratings period begins? They usually show commercials for it for months beforehand, which I think should begin soonish.

Your right. They do show ads about a month before with a "coming soon" title. There is nothing on now but I expect the ads to start popping up 2/3 weeks from now.

Looking for stuff on when it airs and came across this profile which seems to indicate that they were in Christchurch between Buenos Aires and Port Campbell. Her profile also lists when TAR 22 went there so its unlikely that she's confused them. http://www.starnow.com.au/lisacushing

Could possibly be the midleg destination on the final leg ala Singapore from Season 1.

New Zealand VS Aussie <3

Could possibly be the midleg destination on the final leg ala Singapore from Season 1.
Christchurch would be the Penultimate leg before the final. Buenos Aires could be the 10th leg, according to live tweets thread the BA sighting was on March 26th (BA time).
START: Uluru/Ayers Rock, Australia
Leg 1: Siem Reap, Cambodia
Legs 2-3: Krabi, Thailand
Leg 4: Namibia
Leg 5: Saint Petersburg, Russia
Leg ??: Lisbon, Portugal
Leg 10: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Leg 11: Christchurch, New Zealand (possibly)
Leg 12: Port Campbell, Australia

It wouldn't surprise me if it is the penultimate leg but for a penultimate leg I think they would want to have it over in South America. They could potentially fly to Christchurch for the first half of the final leg, do some tasks there like a detour then over to Victoria.
-
blahblah Any Speculation as to when the first episode will be broadcast? blahblah
???
-
Well I have this season all waiting to get rid of the bad taste of TAR24 xD
-
Looks like there is only 10 teams this season so looks like we'll have 4 non-elimination legs if they do 12 legs or they could 11 legs.
-
Hmmm, after looking at the promo I'm starting to think the Christchurch leg was run just after teams left Uluru. The airport cap + sheep herding look to be NZ... surely they wouldn't show that stuff if it was just before the final leg
So, are we looking at going to New Zealand in between Australia and Cambodia? Could easily happen considering we missed the start -- the Sydney Airport sighting would be AFTER the NZ portion right?
Also, there's a missing M/M spotted racing in Victoria here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,29794.msg987127.html#msg987127). Looks like it could be the long haired Aussie guys with shaved heads? ???

Just a small question.
Is the narrator in the beginning of that promo Tom Williams (The Mole Australia season 5)?
-
I doubt it.

Anyone just see that ad on House Rules??
FIERCE Competition against Aus vs NZ
Race travels across 90,000 Kms
Ashleigh & Jarrod were shown running through a bog course
Christie "Don't tell them any information, they're Aussies and we're competing against them"
A few other locations Grant was at, but I didn't recognise them :lol: Hopefully we can find the video online soon! :hearts:

Me too.
-
Cool. I am rather surprised that 7 haven't geo-blocked it.
-
We definitely have some puzzle pieces missing. We know that they paid a visit to New Zealand this season, right? And we assumed it would be on the way home for the final leg didn't we? Anyway, all these new promos are showing clips from a location which definitely does not look like Cambodia (which we believe is the first destination). We know that the race kicked off around Uluru, but we don't actually have proof of when it started? Is it possible that NZ is our first destination, then they flew up to Asia?
-
I saw the my first promo on TV. It was a 10 second clip of the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" "Kiwi, Kiwi, Kiwi". Nothing new.

Not seen =/= early boots . . . .
-
Especially since we lost them for chunks of time. :res:
-
So, we have 10 countries and 6 continents:
Australia
NZ
Cambodia
Thailand
Namibia
Russia
Portugal
US
Argentina
So we're missing one country :S
-
10 countries and 6 continents? Woo! I'm over the moon that we finally after nearly 10 years get a long route like this again!
-
Was there some action in Laos after Cambodia?
-
So, we have 10 countries and 6 continents:
Australia

Are we sure we had a visit to the US? Idk if that was confirmed or not (and it's not listed in Oval's timeline). We do know that with 6 continents, somewhere in North America has to be visited, and US could be very likely.
Also, Idk if the spoiler caps mean that we have to have a visit to those countries, but they do have the Statue of Liberty and Christ the Redeemer Statue, so that would lead to maybe having Brazil being the missing country from that list.
-
I don't know but in another preview, they had something look like Shibuya crossing in Japan, too. So...
-
And there's always a chance that they have traveled for a leg to Chile and then returning home instead of flying from Argentina.

I thought Vegas was a leg :S
-
You can spec NZ all you want but there's no actual proof of NZ being visited at all... I still consider what happens between Argentina and Australia as unknown.
Also re Thailand, I don't think we can assume the leg was run on the 13th just because the picture was posted then. Is there enough time to travel from Thailand to Namibia, run a leg and then have teams purchasing tickets in Windhoek airport by the 15th? I was starting to think that the photo was uploaded a day or more later, I can't see how they make it to Windhoek and run a leg there in time otherwise.
I do think that our airport sighting is them purchasing tickets straight to Russia.. I had a look at flights and the Windhoek -> Frankfurt flight via Air Namibia seems a viable option to get them to Europe and onto Russia... but it would help if some flight guru could do a much better analysis.
This is how I think it pans out, based on our sightings:
Mar 9: Start at Uluru; fly via Sydney and HCMC to Siem Reap and complete night market tasks
Mar 10: Angkor Wat sightings + PitStop
Mar 11: Leg rest/travel to Thailand
Mar 12: Run leg in Thailand -- assuming delayed uploaded photo on the 13th
Mar 13: Fly to Namibia
Mar 14: Run leg in Namibia
Mar 15: Windhoek Airport sighting -- purchase tickets and fly to presumably Russia?
Mar 16: Unknown --possibly a Russia I leg?
Mar 17: Run Saint Petersburg leg
Mar 18: Unknown
Mar 19: Unknown
Mar 20: Run Lisbon leg
Mar 21: Unknown
Mar 22: Unknown
Mar 23: Unknown
Mar 24: Unknown
Mar 25: Unknown
Mar 26: Run Buenos Aires leg
Mar 27: Unknown
Mar 28: Unknown
Mar 29: Unknown
Mar 30: Run final leg in Victoria
Things I want to know/note:
1. Why is there only two days between Saint Petersburg and Lisbon -- does this suggest a leg in close proximity to Lisbon (Spain anyone?)
2. Where do we think they went between Lisbon and Argentina? Is a NA stop possible? I was thinking Brazil was the most logical place, but where else could they have gone?
3. We lose a day for the int'l date line towards the end of the race, so if there's a leg between Buenos Aires and Victoria it can't have a day dedicated to travel -- the entire leg would need to be run the day before the finale or the day after the BA leg.
I'm pulling this from Oval to use as a time guage, because it's easy to use while trying to spec the route.
After talking with Oval a bit, IIRC he thinks that there is a stop at NZ before Cambodia after the Starting Line, and also thinks the Starting Line is earlier than we thought. Oval, correct me if I am wrong
Here is what we know, we have 8 countries confirmed, all but US on MrDS's list, that leaves us with 2 more countries. One MUST be in North America (maybe the US) and that leaves us with one more to work with. The issue with routing this is we have to make up ALMOST 90,000 km. (I'm getting all of this info from the media thread) After trying to map it out, that is very difficult to achieve (Unless the media people are lying, we don't know :lol:).
But here is what I think it is. What I find strange in the 4 day gap between Buenos Aires and Australia. It seems too much for Buenos Aires to be a penulitmate leg, but it's had with the international dateline. Before we were thinking NZ, but there is now a chance with NZ as leg 1, that throws that out possibly. There could be a leg after Buenos Aires in Argentina, but I think there might be an alternate solution (although I could be way off :lol:)
I propose that before the final leg after Argentina, there is a visit in the Middle East close to Dubai (it could be UAE, maybe Qatar?) Teams would not cross the Pacific, and it works well in racking up miles going all the way back eastward. This conjecture also has flight evidence to back it up.
There are some flights going from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo on the night of March 26th
JJ8011 EZE-GRU 1910-2150 (Actually 1930-2207)
AR1248 AEP-GRU 1925-2210 (Actually 1916-2214)
JJ8015 AEP-GRU 2210-0050+1 (Actually 2249-0122+1)
AU2276 EZE-GRU 2210-0055+1 (Actually 2207-0046+1)
G3 7685 AEP-GRU 2240-0135+1 (Actually 2235-0057+1)
QR772 EZE-GRU 2320-0200+1 (Actually 0201+1-0422+1)
TK16 EZE-GRU 2355-0245+1 (Actually 0147+1-0411+1)
Then from Sao Paulo, there is a flight leaving the night of the 26th to Dubai and one in the early morning of the 27th to Istanbul and Doha!
EK8262 GRU-DXB 2325-2100+1 (Actually 2329-2015+1)
QR722 GRU-DOH 0315-2045 (Actually 0539-0047+1)
TK16 GRU-IST 0415-2145 (Actually 0518-2230)
And all these land in the late night of the 27th or early morning! This leaves plenty of time to get somewhere that has easy access to Dubai (or maybe even UAE itself) maybe Doha to run a leg on the 28th.
(I know there are flights from both Istanbul and Dubai to Doha and I don't have time to look them up)
Then, teams can also easily make it to Melbourne/Victoria by the 30th in time to run the final leg because of these leaving the 29th and with plenty of options to get to Dubai
EK406 DXB-MEL 1010-0635+1 (Actually 1132-0753+1)
QF10 DXB-MEL 1055-0735+1 (Actually 1058-0745)
As well as this leaving on the 29th arriving on the 29th from Doha to Melbourne for Grant and production crew
QR904 DOH-MEL 0055-1025 (Actually 0109-1055)
~~~~~
So after all of this flight analysis, I have an idea that there may be a missing leg in between Buenos Aires and Melbourne, in the Middle East, very likely to be Doha, Qatar or Dubai, UAE, this gives us our 10th country, as well as getting close to 90,000 km. I cannot figure out any other way to meet these criteria any other way with the timeframe we have (but this could be totally wrong idk)

Australia
NZ
Cambodia
Thailand
Namibia

Christ the Redeemer, the Statue of Liberty and Shibuya Crossing are stock shots from the opening of the show.

This is air-date information ( I don't know if it belongs here but whatever )
I think we have an air-date (for NZ). I cheeked Wikipedia and it says that it starts on the 15th of July. It is sourced to a spreadsheet of TVNZ's programming. With this we can assume that the Australian air-date is the 14th.

It's really impossible, back in live sightings thread posted in March, since Argentina is truly a penultimate leg before teams returning to Australia, a trans-Pacific final leg from Argentina to Australia is approximately nearly 9,000 miles. The gap between these countries are 4 days with an extended final Pit Stop rest.

I've read it somewhere that New Zealand is gonna air the premiere on Jul 29 whilst Australia on Jul 22.
Could New Zealanders watch Australian TV? If so, it may not be good for TV2's ratings.

I dislike the twist Salvage Pass. The two-hour privilege makes no sense because it'll be gone due to flights. Every team wants to keep the weak in the game, so it is an ensured NEL card.
-
Unless that team is not weak then they will eliminate them... plus, if the team is eliminated, that adds an NEL in the game, so that's equivalent of keeping a weak team

I was just looking back at the live sighting thread and we see the nurses in the final leg, I think there will be a head-shaving Fast Forward somewhere.

So did anyone else notice the Intersection in the season preview? :lol:

Can you say exactly where? Maybe Alen can snag it. I don't see it in the Intro caps here:

Is this what you mean? It looks like Intersection.

I'm not sure where this would go, because of the interesting way this ep was structured: it's not intro caps but more of a "season preview" as alltsa mentioned, so I'll try here.
The first picture looks like Cat/Jessie and that's definitely Dubrovnik.
The next two pictures are from Cascais, near Lisbon. In the first pic you can see Seixas palace in the background, and the second is on Rue Frederico Arouca (source (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/63842845)).
The winter pics (dogsledding/cannibal hot tub) are the most interesting. On one helmet you can see the outline of кострома/Kostroma oblast and a dogsled logo. There is an international race
(albeit out in the boonies) with an Aussie connection (video (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8hyjg_international-sled-dog-race-in-kost_travel&start=138)). Maybe the race goes there, or maybe production had them brought up from Kotkishevo to St. Pete. Or maybe the helmets were just made there :) --take your pick.
-
Oh great job guys!!
-

So, Croatia is the missing country, huh? :)
-
So it's Cambodia - Thailand - Namibia - Russia - Croatia - Portugal - USA - Argentina - Australia? Sounds good to me.

Anyway, I already have them cut and labeled, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow because I'm traveling due to work and I'll be busy all the evening.

Thanks Alen! We appreciate you!

Why does Grant speak much slower in this season?
-
He doesn't? I liked his hosting so much more this season. Really personalized and in a way, very engaging!
-
So africa is an elimination leg because of intersection in leg 5 russia.
Leg 5 is tbc?
-
I believe we don't know that yet.
-
Yes we do this was taken directly out of Episode 5 thread
Looks like this leg ends in a TBC, taken from the tv guide for September 1:
With no rest period between legs, teams are still racing and heading for central Russia. After a long train trip they face a testing nation v nation challenge. Teams from the losing nation face the very real prospect of being eliminated. The last team to the mat surprises all, but will a twist at the pit stop save them from elimination?
Still haven't got any media info specifically for this leg whatsoever though (:;)
-
Apparently i missed that. Sorry guys.
-
I'm not sure what they mean by central Russia, but I'll go out on a limb and say teams alight from the Trans-Sib at Neya (http://www.transsib.ru/Eng/city-euro.htm#Neya), which is a stone's throw from the North Hope Sled Dog Center (http://nordhope.com/) at Kotkishevo. Reposting this video (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8hyjg_international-sled-dog-race-in-kost_travel&start=138) from earlier.
-
So we will have another Tug of war kind of challenge again?
-
So I'm guessing this means that we won't be getting a full leg in either North America or Argentina?
-

Grant said ten legs - if this is a Double-length leg (As I believe it is, because J/M didn't get a prize!), this means next week is Leg 5-2, and we still have five legs (and four more countries) left to watch. I don't think 7 have confirmed a finale date yet!

It couldn't be. I saw on Amazing Race Wikia page, that the end of Leg 5 has a no-rest Pit Stop. Since TAR18, the tradition of using a no-rest leg is giving an advantage on winning a leg or nothing.

Based on the history of TAR Aus Season 1, a double-length leg that featured two pit stops is still counted as two legs. I guess we may have the combinations of Siberia-Croatia, Croatia-Portugal, Portugal-North America, and North America-Argentina left as combined into one leg, since nobody have spotted a pit stop in these places. Hopefully it will not be the combination of Portugal-North America (like Season 2 France-Cuba), or North America-Argentina (the worst case scenario).
-
Maybe we will get two location in the final leg (happened in Season 1 with Sri Lanka - Singapore - Australia and 2 with Beijing - Guilin - Australia) . So it would probably be North America - Argentina - Australia.

I think there's a very high chance the race will end with a 2 location final leg (which will cover the longest route ever in TAR history!)

Teams were in St Pete on the 17th and Lisbon the 20th. Plenty of time for this. (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,29792.msg984768.html#msg984768 (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,29792.msg984768.html#msg984768)

Editing out an entire leg what a trainwreck if true <3

I don't know but from 17th to 20th, did they have enough time for 2 legs because we had a leg in Kostroma.
-
Dubrovnik is confirmed to be after Lisbon!
Next week (Sep 15) is also due to be another double episode, so presumably it will also air the North American leg ???
-
I'm guessing the fast forward is another head shaving one and Daniel & Ryan win it because of their picture that was captured during the final leg.

Also Kostroma is in the middle of [vulgar word of choice] nowhere in Russia. It will take quite a while to fly out to Portugal.

I just did a quick calculation of the route and assuming the Las Vegas sighting is correct. it's about 72,000km but i'm just looking at point A to point B when it comes to flights so with flights it may be longer.

Argentina (Buenos Aires) is confirmed after Dubrovnik according to Oval's post in Episode 8 Discussion thread.

Ok, so I have a theory for what the "Bomb" at Leg 8's Pit Stop is most likely going to be. Not sure if its already been said, but according to Wikipedia, there's a Fast Forward next Leg, and based on the new promo, I'm guessing it will involve shaving your head. Having seen the spoiler photos from the Final Leg, Daniel & Ryan have significantly shorter hair, pretty much bald infact.
So, I'm assuming they go for the FF, and the "Bomb" will be the big (loss of hair) reveal to the other teams. This is a pretty lackluster "Bomb" if you ask me, but going by TAR Oz's history, they tend to over hype upcoming events. I.e: Leg 2's "Drama at the Pit Stop after one team breaches the rules." :groan:
-
But i thought the Leg 2 "drama" was pretty interesting.

Yea, but they made it sound like it was going to be something huge, when it was just an unpaid taxi. Something we see on a regular basis.

The live sightings was shot somewhere in Victoria Australia, so I think this is the final leg sightings.
Apparently the Bodybuilders and an all male team (obviously Intensive Care Nurses since they are last all male team standing as of Leg 7, but why one of them are bald :o , maybe they do some sort of Head Shaving (FF) task) make it to the final.
If this is real final 3 team, then I will be happy with any of the remaining team in Leg 7 join the final 3 except the Newlyweds blondes since they are so annoying to see them in final 3.

If you zoom in on the second picture is that a team digging?

I'm not sure a team was digging but I think they will do the final task there before they go to finish line.

I wondered if the finale leg is the leg that traveled the most distance in TAR history ever,
Leg 10: Buenos Aires, ARG to Los Angeles, USA: 9846km (6118mi)
Los Angeles, USA to Port Campbell, AUS: 12958km (8052mi)
Total Distance traveled: 22804km (14170mi) ± 75km (47mi)
-
So I'm not sure should I discuss here or start a new post; it's not that related to the leg 9.
