Maybe this is a sign that Tar 26 was an amazing season :trampb:
Well, at least they're not all dating couples again, right? :)
Even if Tar 26 is a great season I really hope that season 27 goes back to the old format
Just to confirm: this does NOT mean the show has been renewed for season 27. They need to continue to work on casting for IF the renewal comes from CBS. The ratings for the premiere were not that encouraging. CBS usually renews a bunch of shows all at once sometime in the middle of March, so hopefully it will come then. I just hope they don't have more then one of two blind dating teams if we get another season. And I suppose hoping for another great original season like 25 is out of the question.
Even if Tar 26 is a great season I really hope that season 27 goes back to the old format
TAR25 & TAR26-like teams + TAR26&22-like route = Best season ever???
But, I think TAR is quite steady with its 1.1 ratings, and DVR number is high too, so I guess TAR is still doing well on Friday?
Hopefully rating is still doing OK. I want TAR to live longer, at least till they made all-star 3.0 or whatever they call. :( But I like having TAR on Friday, since at my location I can watch it freely on Saturday! :DJoin the club. I usually watch it with pancakes.
But really, this schedule is atrocious for CBS.Maybe they will come to their sences and change it up for the Autumn. But for now I will be enjoying my pancakes and TAR.
Madame Secretary+Good Wife do NOT make ratings gold on Sundays, and now CSI: Crapber (should have been cancelled :res:) is on it too. TAR24 was lowly-rated, yes, but it was still doing better numbers than the three aforementioned shows at the time.
When will TAR27 be film? ???
The Amazing Race has already been renewed for season 27. Have you discussed what the next cycle could look like?Took this from peach's post at TAR 26 Media. If TAR27 becomes a player pick season, hopefully they take teams from all the seasons, because otherwise I would think that another returning team season is too early.
Yeah, we've been talking about different ideas and we've been listening to the fans. We're always brainstorming about different things we can do absolutely.
Next season, Survivor is giving power to the fans in determining the cast by an all-fan vote. Could that be something Amazing Race does in the foreseeable future?
It was something that I had suggested a while ago. The Survivor fans were probably saying the same things our fans have been saying, "Let us pick." That was something that we absolutely discussed in the past.
But that's still on the table?
Yeah, we haven't locked in what our idea [for season 27] is going to be but we're always looking for ideas. This whole dating idea of mashing people who don't know each other came from the fans. It's been something the fans have talked about for 10 years so we are listening to our fans.
I think they'll stop the F4-Finale twist for a while. Then maybe, they'll bring up F5 in the penultimate leg with the F4 elimination in the finale.

Or maybe if they bring back double elimination. I'd like to see double elimination with F5 on penultimate leg. It would create lots of tension and drama.

Literally what I was thinking as well!
I'm hoping for a NZ Leg in the south island this season. It's just about winter and they should go to Queenstown for a winter leg.
They just need to cast 11 teams of Blair and Hayley, with some guys being the crazy ones, and some girls being the crazy ones.. for a season of crazy unexpected outcomes LOL

We had no all-female team on TAR26 and I didn't mind it, but let's hope we have a good all-female team this season :lol:
TAR without non-elimination legs. :grins: So we will have 14 teams (or 15 teams if final 4 like last 2 seasons) :grins:I feel like if they were to do that, it would more likely be 12 teams and over 10 episodes (or 11 if there's a TBC) . Any more teams and the cast would just be too big.
Because Phil liked fan favoritesThat would be pretty unfair because the All Star teams would have experienced the stress of the race and be more prepared for it, unlike the newbies who don't know what to expect.
I'm thinking the theme could be teams with newbies paired with all stars.

That might actually work, but some teams might not want to do the race without their original partners.Because Phil liked fan favoritesThat would be pretty unfair because the All Star teams would have experienced the stress of the race and be more prepared for it, unlike the newbies who don't know what to expect.

I think what alltsa meant was take one All-Star and pair them off with a newbie, resulting in 11 teams made up of an All-Star and Newbie on each. :)
Keep in mind that TAR 27 is casted and ready to go.
Standard season with a couple of blind daters is my spec. :)
Oh god that would be an amazing pairing! :lol:Keep in mind that TAR 27 is casted and ready to go.

Can you confirm or deny whether these "blind daters" are singles looking for love like S26, or random people, E.g. an Older Gradma with a Younger Male? :lol:

We need an F/F version of Bergen/Kurt with all the hostility but none of the quitting <3
I speculate we'll see the return of the Double Express Pass.
Back to my point earlier, maybe the 2 EPs will come in a twist like an extra task (unaired TAR26-esque) or an extra place to visit (TAR25-esque). Maybe they could do 3 EPs too, depending on how they're gonna add the twist. ???What went unaired.
Peach told us that there was apparently a Save that wasn't claimed during leg 3. The way to obtain the Save was to complete both sides of the Detour, basically giving yourself a U-Turn for that leg.Back to my point earlier, maybe the 2 EPs will come in a twist like an extra task (unaired TAR26-esque) or an extra place to visit (TAR25-esque).

omg is this starting soon? :spy:
If we have returnees like what Survivor did, here's my honest opinion. (Not a Wishlist)
Voting pool of 20 teams.
11 teams cast.
No pre-TAR18 teams if we follow BvM's philosophy of "no one would remember them".
No threepeaters.
Combination of:
-People who got a montage or sth at the end
-casual faves
-Fan Favorites
Who I think would be on the pool:Show content
TAR26:
Hayley & Blair (Obviously!)
Matt & Ashley (CBS made a whole segment of them on YouTube, clearly they like them.)
Mike & Rochelle (Obviously!)
TAR25:
Kym & Alli (Obvious!)
Adam & Bethany (From the mouths of FB fans: "OMG BETHANY WHAT AN INSPIRATION" so obvious choice!)
Shelley & Nici (Fans liked them)
Tim & Te Jay (They got a montage at the end)
Misti & Jim (Pretty liked by CBS to be featured a lot on their Facebook page.)
TAR23:
Nicky & Kim (montage at the end)
Tim & Danny (Same)
TAR22:
Max & Katie (Pretty liked by fans)
Chuck & Wynona (Pretty liked by fans)
TAR21:
Jaymes & James (Fan favorite)
Trey & Lexi (Casuals loved them)
James & Abba (Same)
TAR20:
Joey "Fitness" & Danny (seemed pretty well-liked, PLUS they occasionally pop out at TAR casting calls AND they got a montage)
Bopper & Mark (Technically Bopper hasn't raced twice :lol:)
TAR19:
Bill & Cathi (montage and locks!)
Amani & Marcus (Same.)
Liz & Marie (Liked enough at the moment)
Out:
Dennis & Isabelle (CBS likes them, but they broke up :()
Brooke & Robbie (See above.)
Vanessa & Ralph (CBS gave them a montage, but see above.)
Tim & Marie (rejected TAR24)
Pam & Winnie (Pam works for ABC now. :'( )
Jeff & Jackie (Got a montage but are NOT dating at all or seem very close post-show.)
What do you think?
omg is this starting soon? :spy:
So excited! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
Gamer's pool is <333.
But :'( at Pam & Winnie can't be back because of that reason. :'( :'( (Is this the reason they're not considered for AS2 too?)
I'm still surprised that no one from TAR19 are back at AS2! I know that maybe Bill & Cathi are too old or something. But Amani & Marcus or even the surfers would be better choice than all the threepeaters. :res: So it would be great to let them have the chance to race again!
I'm still not sure about the fan voting system but it worked quite well on Survivor? ??? (I didn't watch it for years) I'm afraid we'll get Cancer or Cowboy again and I don't think I can put up with that anymore. blahblah
I like this pool. One question, Dennis & Isabelle really broke up?
I like this pool. One question, Dennis & Isabelle really broke up?
Yeah, they really did. :'(
Keepcopz I recommend to watch Survivor from Cagayan onwards, it's AMAZING again! <3
Wait. Will S27 be another Blind Date/Couples again?Idts
Not sure where to ask this, but is there a place we can say where we will be this summer? Just in case we need a spotter somewhere? I know I have seen that in the past.Is this what you're looking for?
I wonder if there will be dating teams.....
Is there a thread for wishlists?You can post wishlists in this thread:
Speculation route:
1. It's been a while for South America countries to host first leg since TAR 23, so I think we'll see South America country on a first leg. I think Brazil will be perfect. We haven't had a combo United States -> Brazil since TAR 13. Another South America country that can be visited is Argentina or Uruguay. Will they make a come back to Iguaçu Falls?
2. I think we're not lucky enough to see Africa again for third consecutive time, but if they want to surprise us and decide to visit Africa, I think they will visit South Africa since the last time it is visited is TAR 7, which is already a millennium ago. But, after all, I speculate that Africa will be skipped this time.
3. Europe, well, I wish they will skip Europe this time, but I don't think that's possible. I agree that it has been four seasons since we visit Scandinavia, so they will come back here again maybe? Sweden has become their regular destination? I think they will highly go to Russia because we have pattern to visit Russia at least for every four seasons.
4. Asia. India or Indonesia; it's either both of them or only one of them, since those countries have been regularly visited, and we haven't seen them for a while. There's no way they will skip them. I have no idea about the other Asian countries.
5. Oceania. The last time we have a leg in Oceania is TAR 22, so they may come back. Maybe using an unused leg in Australia from TAR24?
Team
1. A parent/child team. I speculate a father/daughter or mother/son. We haven't had a decent father/daughter since Gallory or mother/son since Margie & Luke, so they will cast at least one of the combos?
2. An older couple. It's been missing since Bill & Cathi.
Speculation route:1 South America -Brazil is overdue

2 I don't think Africa is included
3 Europe- Maybe full legs in Sweden Hungary Finland
4 Asia most likely Australia and or New Zealand
Maybe Phillipines
5 Oceania- Seychelles would be nice or Bora Bora
Teams
Possible for 3 ff teams after a no ff season

I'm sorry but Seychelles is in Africa and they had just visited Phillipines in 25 so there's no way they're gonna visit it this season.
I also think that they won't visit Southeast Asia for a while since Thailand was just visited. I think for Asia they'll pick either China or India again (or surprisingly first visit to Maldives? :hoot: )
- For Asia, I think Mongolia and South Korea would be nice choice. (Overdue since 10 and 17) And both countries can be access easily from China (Which I think might be visit this season). India/Sri Lanka + Maldives combo would be nice to see too. If they decide to visit South East Asia too, one leg in Burma or Laos would make sense as new country too. Or Brunei instead of repetitive Indonesia.
- Africa, likely to get skipped.
- South America, Chile and Peru is out. I think Brazil/Ecuador (Galapagos)/Bolivia/Uruguay would be cool since all of them were overdue. I think we might get 2-4 SA legs start this season though.
- Oceania, they NEED to visit other countries than NZ and Australia! I think we might get 1-2 legs, Fiji or Papau New Guinea would be nice choice.
- Europe, we got overload Europe for past couple seasons (Esp. 23-24-25) I think just 2-3 legs in Europe, 1 Scandinavian and 1-2 in Central Europe would be nice. Finland is SO overdue!
- North America, I'd like to see Trinidad-Tobago/Costa Rica/Bahamas as leg 1 or 11. But since they just do Virgin Island in 25, I think they might save it for other season.

I'm not sure where to put this but...
Sorry to bother you all but as of the moment there is no final confirmation of the list of teams that will be in TAR 27. Apparently casting call is still going on in Detroit and they are still looking for applicants that will represent the area in the upcoming season of the Amazing Race. Filming will not yet happen until June 2 because that is the date of the casting call. :cheer:
http://patch.com/michigan/trenton-grosseile/amazing-race-cbs-reality-hit-casting-detroit-area
I think they will visit Australia this season...China perhaps,but I didn't want to see China as first destination,middle or penultimate leg is good...I think this season's route will be like TAR18An Australia leg has not been seen in a while, so it's definitely possible. I have a gut feeling that they will have the first leg in South America though.

I would like not to accept him being in TAR27 :lol:https://twitter.com/MissCleoBB/status/604511721470894080
Well, I think (from some source that I forgot, but I've read it), Caleb from BB16 initially auditioned for The Amazing Race, no? Him being on TAR27 a possibility?

If Frankie was the one that MissCleoBB's talking about, i wish he's not partnering with zach, i wish it was the lovely ARIANA GRANDE :luvya:
The only "celebrities" (and I'm using that term loosely) that TAR will ever have are YouTube ones.I think 'well-known' is a more fitting term.

I'd say Bethany and Jonathan Knight are about the biggest celebrities TAR's had to date. She's had movies and books made about her, and has been in a couple of movies herself. He was part of a band that was a big deal back in the day.
And those are just the last 2 seasons, so this could be a new trend for TAR to cast bigger names.
If you're worried about celebrities, some of the Asian, the Vietnamese and the Philippines versions are just about entirely celebrities and they have no problems.
About danger to celebrities, I mean that celebrities in TAR may be robbed. But, you know, that celebrities that has been in TAR were less recognized by almost everyone. For example, Muslim countries would not know who is Maria & Tiffany, who are famous professional poker players. Also, nobody outside basketball fans and North America have known Harlem Globetrotters. The celebrities that are well known, are celebrities that is known by almost everyone in the world, like Ariana Grande, George Clooney, or anything that has been as actor in big role movies or famous TV series.

Who is Ariana Grande?
If you all read the TAR 27 media you will see when the Race is NOT starting.
Regardless of what others do...RFF DOES NOT REVEAL ANY CONTESTANTS BEFORE THE RACE STARTS. Particularly if they may not even be sequestered yet, as that could get someone eliminated before the race begins.
If you all read the TAR 27 media you will see when the Race is NOT startingSo the race won't start June 1-3?

Technically they could if they pre recorded the speeches or whatever
But right now it seems they will start next weekend at the lastest
Here's a simple speculation: TAR27 won't do the F4 twist done in the past 2 seasons.
I have a gut feeling China will be visited, since it really hasn't been visited in a while. Perhaps China would be around F6, F5, or F4 since TAR21 and TAR24 had China with all the 11 teams. Also, TAR26 started in Asia, so maybe they'd start off with South America, Europe, or Africa.
South Korea now suffer the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) virus outbreak, so it's too bad that South Korea will certainly not visited this season.I was hoping for a South Korea visit, too :(

Hopefully it wasn't meant to be visited this season because I don't want to possibly suffer with a bad replacement leg

That's too bad for SoKor.
Hopefully, it will likely to be replaced with China and would particularly Beijing as the penultimate destination. Also we could get a Middle East leg.

When I saw the news, I have a bad feeling TAR27 will be TAR15 and TAR24 all over again with the various replacement leg which is sucks. :gaah:
Btw the MERS virus outbreak in SoKor was mainly caused by SoKor traveller who just returned from Middle East area IIRC, so I think WRP will exclude Middle East visit and prohibited all the teams take the connecting flight via Middle East area in TAR27 for the safety purpose.
We'll just all have to wait until the race is underway. We might get a great route this season, hope for the best but expect the worst though. Hopefully TAR has learned its mistakes (Season 24 was horrible).Seasons 25 and 26 slap you to remind you about how TAR has improved since the season that shall not be named

Sorry, your wording there wasn't really that clear. I know that we were talking about the possibility of a replacement leg, but the wording made it seem like you didn't acknowledge TAR25 and 26's massive improvement.We'll just all have to wait until the race is underway.

Firstly, please do read the previous page, we were discussing that if South Korea was to be visited this season and since there's a MERS-COV scare there, a replacement leg could be done. I was referring to Season 24's mistake as Philippines and Australia were speculated to be included and were axed due to several reasons. I am referring to the replacement legs. Second I DID NOT say anything bad about season 25 & 26 BOTH WERE GREAT! I can never deny it.
When I saw the news, I have a bad feeling TAR27 will be TAR15 and TAR24 all over again with the various replacement leg which is sucks. :gaah:
Btw the MERS virus outbreak in SoKor was mainly caused by SoKor traveller who just returned from Middle East area IIRC, so I think WRP will exclude Middle East visit and prohibited all the teams take the connecting flight via Middle East area in TAR27 for the safety purpose.
So what if any of outbreak-free Middle East countries (not including ISIS conflicts) hoping a chance to visit. I saw on Wiki article about MERS corona outbreak in South Korea that Saudi Arabia won't visit for long.
According to MERS right now, I think we can rule out China (Hong Kong), South Korea and all middle east. (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman) And recently asian country should be rule out too: Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Phillipines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka.
I don't think they'll be much choice left for TAR27 asian country choice. We'll possibly see India (I predict double India) and maybe some south east asia. (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei)
I hope that this will not interupt with WRP's plan and force them to make replacement leg. :( The Phuket-BKK nightmare in TAR19 and all those in TAR24 were super horrible.

India, one of Indonesia, Malaysia or Vietnam and China are fine, but are more safe. Nepal is more unlikely due to unstable with the recent April and May earthquakes.

The route for this season is going to be so radically different due to all of the unsafe/restricted countries right now, I think

Well I don't think that we will visit India in some areas due ongoing heat wave, but Mumbai or even Calcutta should be safe, I don't know.
That would be a great change of pace! They could even just have a leg or two in Canada/Mexico before the finale, in replacement of Asia.The route for this season is going to be so radically different due to all of the unsafe/restricted countries right now, I think
Aka, skipping Asia for the first time ever? :lol:

I'm going to defend TAR24 here for a second (really surprising), and say that Leg 4 was easily the best episode of the entire season for me. And it was a replacement leg.

This might be a good idea. If they were to visit Asia only once this season, it should be Maldives. Oceania (New Zealand, Australia, French Polynesia, Fiji) needs a visit again. Canada has been long overdue.
I don't think they will visit China unless it is the replacement.What about India?
The only Asian country they might visit would be Cambodia.
The route could be very well S America, Europe, 1 Asian leg, and a ton of Oceania legs.

I don't think they will visit China unless it is the replacement.I think they never visit South America in two consecutive seasons before,but who knows? I still think this season will focus on Asia and Europe, and perhaps 2-3 Oceania legs.

does anybody knows when will the race start filming? ??? ??? ???, im so excited :trampb:Soon
After reading all this MERS talk and earthquake talk, now I'm thinking that countries like the Philippines won't be visited for sure. This might include Chile, Japan, etc.
And after reading all those, there is a good chance Asia will be skipped. :ascared Still, China is possible. Russia I think is okay? ??? How about Cyprus as a new country to be visited? :lol: It's safe right? Maldives, India, and Sri Lanka I think are fine? ??? I don't know about Central Asia.
If they're gonna skip Asia, the route might be South America --> Europe --> Africa --> Europe --> Australia + Oceania.
I would say Antarctica, but that would be wishing. :lol:

Obviously, we had a recent South America visit in TAR26. If either going to skip Middle East and Korea, the route will go Eastward and be started in Central America --> Europe --> Africa --> Europe --> Asia
It might chance to travel 4 continent race.

Boy, i hope so. This forum is dead these last days...
Oh for heaven's sake!! Can't Phil post a pic of his own area without everyone jumping to conclusions?? :funny:
CBS does NOT give us start line clues.
Y'all better all CHILL. I think we still have some time to wait. :waves:
Okay, I don't think anyone's answered this question, so let me ask this again:
The "blind date" teams would be interspersed within S27? Or does it start with the S28 race? I know I read it somewhere, but I'm just not sure where, and I don't know when it was said.
Blind teams will be in S27. I looked at TAR casting website, and they do blind date casting again, so be prepare for S28 too.
I don't think Peach's post actually reveals that those places will be visited (especially because that area of the forum doesn't contain spoilers)
Does the filming usually begin during the weekend? Earnestly waiting for the live sightings to pour in like the rest of you all.
:res: :res:CHILL...
Does this mean an Alaska start, that would be incredible!
NO
CHILL...I don't know why but this made me laugh too much :funny:

Could we then expect a route similar to All-Stars 1, with the first half of the Race taking place in South America & southern Africa, due to the various problems in several countries across the Asian continent?It's either that or they skip Asia entirely this season
It seems like Cambodia & Vietnam may be possible Asian destinations, they don't have any serious problems right now.Could we then expect a route similar to All-Stars 1, with the first half of the Race taking place in South America & southern Africa, due to the various problems in several countries across the Asian continent?It's either that or they skip Asia entirely this season
Going to Cambodia would be slightly weird because Survivor is currently filming there.

Guys, I dont think that this MERS outbreak is such a big issue for filming. Just check this map http://www.healthmap.org/MERS/ Currently there are more infected people in France, Germany or UK than in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos or most parts of India/China. :-)True, but those places are still infected, which means that there is still a possibility that the production crew/racers themselves will get MERS. I don't think they would want to take that risk.
I think it's planned to start filming this season just a little bit later. :-)
To be honest,only one person in China mainland got MERS and already got separated,I think only east Asia country will be ruled out by MERS is South Korea...
True, but those places are still infected, which means that there is still a possibility that the production crew/racers themselves will get MERS. I don't think they would want to take that risk.
I think the hold up more has to do with the fact TAR27 wasn't actually renewed for a fall season until last month. And I also prefer people calm down with reading into everything.Casting started before renewal. Route should have been planned too.
But if they don't visit any of the countries that Gamer mentioned i'm actually going to start thinking that this will be a killer route with amazing countries!A start and finish in Canada would make a groundbreaking, unique season. The U.S. is also in the MERS-associated list, so why not? :) :lol:

Deep breath everyone...
NOT YET CONFIRMED
I'm not buying it either. The guy is a huge Joey Graceffa so he's probably watched TAR. He was posting numerous all CAPS semi-hysterical tweets on a variety of subjects for a few hours now. Screamed about lightning. Checked weather radar and thunderstorms look like they are south of Chicago in Indiana. I can't completely rule out his seeing a thunderstorm at Midway airport but I don't think it was all that strong. He was also complaining about his flight being delayed. I think he was just bored and tweeting nonsense to amuse himself.
I monitored twitter all day and go away for an hour or so and suddenly things get interesting. Go figure.
If China, Russia, India are safe, they'd most likely visit one or more of those countries instead.
Right now, I'm thinking that the route might go: US --> some country in Australia & Oceania --> China --> some other countries in Asia --> Russia --> some other countries in Europe (and maybe a surprise from Africa? Or not.) --> back to US.
If they're not gonna visit South America and Africa because they have just been visited recently, then the only way a 4-continent race is possible is by visiting Australia & Oceania. If they're gonna skip Asia, they might need to visit South America and/or Africa to get a good route.
Coincidentally, TAR21 and TAR24 had 3-continent races. :(

Does anybody know what other countries in Asia are safe?How about Malaysia? They've only ever done Sabah or KL but never really the southern/Johor region of the country? They could connect through Singapore.
Given the quote unquote "delays", it seems clear that production is most likely going to reschedule legs like they did in TAR 15 and 24. However, what would they change them from? I get that West Africa is out because of Ebola, and the Middle East is out from MERS, and Ukraine and Russia are out from political conflicts. However, what other places are considered unsafe to travel in?
well, CBS confirmed that TAR27 will be aired on September 25...We already know this from the Scheduling thread.

well, I actually saw it on Wikipedia..

They probably have to start the race soon, they'd only have a month and a half to edit the first episode's footage!

well, sorry before that I just known of the 27th premiere schedule ... hehehe...
so, if they scheduled the premiere of S27 at that time, they'd have to start around half to end of June right? or maybe not?
but, if they really delayed the filming from this month due of MERS and the affairs in many countries in Asia or Africa, and started filming in the beginning or end of July ( or could be worse ), would they delayed the premiere from its schedule...?
well, I think that there are still many countries in Asia that are safe for racing... ( altough many of them come from ASEAN region ).... *yeah, hell, still hope for another visit to Indonesia...

Indonesia was fine for me, as well as they did not visit JAVA again except Jakarta. Otherwise, I will be really mad if they revisit JAVA again without Jakarta.
Any chance that they go to Cuba this season? Relations between the US and Cuba are getting much better and would be an interesting place to go Leg 1 or next to last leg.Maybe not this season, but potentially in a few years, depending on how the U.S. President that takes office in 2017 and Fidel Castro get along.
So that means Russia is out of the list. I think it's just China and India? Cyprus is safe right? :funny: Does anybody know what other countries in Asia are safe?

I think Cyprus is normally safe for international travelers, the only thing is to visit Limassol or Paphos. The country is never visited in TAR before and would be the first time to visit.

That's my wild guess for the new country this season. :hrt: They visited Malta and Monaco last 2 seasons, so I'm suspecting this to be next.
Honestly I don't think they will be doing another season because they would have filmed most likely today :(The show was already renewed and will be airing on September. Be patient!
I'll be traveling to Europe tomorrow and will be there for 3 weeks. Fingers crossed, maybe I'll run into some racers at JFK.
I am lucky that I can follow the amazing race Norwegian version in Hong KongI'll be traveling to Europe tomorrow and will be there for 3 weeks. Fingers crossed, maybe I'll run into some racers at JFK.
Crossing my fingers for you! LOL That's what I was hoping for with TAR Cda when I went to Vancouver...I missed them by mere minutes!
And it's possible for TAR to visit new small countries, such as Luxembourg, Cyprus, or San Marino, since TAR 25 & 26 visited Malta and Monaco.
I'm still betting on Cyprus as my completely wild guess, but other countries mentioned seem to be likely too I guess.
Meanwhile with Japan, aren't there recent earthquakes there these days? ???

Apparently, Cape Town and Cyprus are the most likely the new countries would be visited for TAR27, and could be the first time since TAR20 had two previously unvisited countries.
As for Japan, there are no recent earthquakes at the past year.
Not to diminish the critical nature of the areas/people affected by Ebola/MERS, but IMHO, I don't think the presence of a disease in small numbers of countries in a continent would necessarily mean that the entire continent would need to be taken off of the route. Africa has 54 countries, and Asia has 48. If, for instance, Alaska had a terrible outbreak of Disease X, I don't think people would stop travelling to Miami or Costa Rica, which are all on the same continent.

I think they will do it like half teams with pre-existing rel and half teams put together by single applicants. I dont think there will be any love element in these 'artificial' teams. I didnt like how Phil was pushing teams into romance.
But it would be interesting to develop this idea of two complete strangers travelling around the world. I'd be fine with 5 - 6 blind teams... for example two very young and naïve ladies with no travel experience, 20-ish + 50-ish strange guys, two army veterans with big muscles, experienced pro traveller with someone who have never been outside the US... no love involved.
It one day they really want to do something crazy (TAR 30? All-Stars?), they can create a twist that teams must switch partners for a leg/every leg.

It could be possible for one leg, and it would be fun and interesting.
I want they do a season with all the returnee but not the same team. Not really blind-date if they cast the fellow racers who have friendships/relationship outside the race.Yeah, that would be pretty cool!
Like: Marie (23) and Katie (22) are friends, Christina and Azaria are married...
Anyway, back to the topic, Japan recently had earthquake, the big one in Tokyo and also Volcano in an island of Kagoshima prefecture. However, I think it is still very safe. But I don't think they will be back to Japan just after last season because Japan is very expensive.
Well, even if that happened, it would still make for an interesting twist that would likely amuse casuals and cause some confusion and panic between the teams.It one day they really want to do something crazy (TAR 30?

Yeah, but if they do it for one leg, wouldn't it make it painfully obvious that it would be an NEL?
What about single people enter the race / 20 people / 10 teamsI had this idea since season 22 :funny:
At the Sl people are told their team members at the start of that leg
Whoever comes last is eliminated
During the Pitstip teams are muddled up again
Whatever two people come last will be eliminated
And so on....
I just want this to start NOW! :hearts:
Wait, how do we know it won't start in July? Not that that's a bad thing, I mean that'll still give them plenty of time to make the show before late September.Its Peach

You see it in live sightings thread posted by Peach.
Have the TAR Facebook/Twitter said anything about a public start line?
It's great for me that it's a morning start, because it will be day here in Lithuania :P
Could someone tell me which time I should tune in though? My timezone is GMT +3, I'm not sure what's the time difference between my place and Venice Beach.
Isn't the timezone -7? If it starts at 8am, that would be 6pm in my time?
Ahh I'm confused. :lol:

Because they start at 8, can there be a possible starting task to kill time?They could plunge into the Pacific Ocean to grab their first clue from a buoyant object, but I think that's as far as a task will go because TAR is encouraging a live audience for this starting line spectacle. ???
Amazing race twitter confirmed 11 teams

At this stage of the race's life, it's clear the budget is shrinking each year. Having a start outside of SoCal is a significant budget investment, enough so that the only 2 times they've done that in the last 15 seasons, they've compensated for it by finishing in LA instead. Personally, I'm ok with SoCal starts if it means we can get a higher quality race overall (and I don't care to see LA as a finale city again).
