Go read the thread when the race (TAR 13) finished in Portland...it was insane that day. And yes, had we posted the info we had, it could very well have ruined the finale.
I am not saying just BB fans, but TAR fans, curiousity seekers, media...all that changes things. I just want us to be careful of the final location, is all.
And that's fair enough. It was bad enough that people learned about the JoJe racing, straight from EW and media articles, before they even finished racing, let alone before the race even aired on television! Same deal with Maria & Tiffany (though it wasn't as epic until later on). Some people actually choose to avoid knowing who's racing until it's made official. That shouldn't be a big deal as most of the stars are unknown. It's a different story, however, with an all-star season.
At the end of the day, not knowing the final stuff is definitely important, at least this early on between present time and the finale. Maybe as we get close it wouldn't matter. But not early. It still sucks back during TAR7 & TAR8 when the winner was sort of disclosed (with the family edition it was worse, because people knew
before the season even started).
Anyway, back to speculation on where everything is going to end. I also thing New Zealand is possible, given the course so far. However, if they enter the US from there or Asia, I wouldn't be surprised if the finish line is exactly where the start point was. After the lack of trouble to start anywhere other than Los Angeles, I can't see them going all the way east right now.
