Topic: TAR 28 Pre-Race Discussion **Spoilers**

I'll spec we don't get Egypt. Or maybe no Middle East.

No U.S. airlines fly in to, out of, or over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, where Sharm
el-Sheikh is situated. But the crash could expose holes in security measures at
overseas airports where U.S. airports do operate, security analysts and members
of Congress said Thursday.

I wanna know the teams. And the places.
I don't care about placement spoilers this season

I think you're right here. I think the UK is halting flights too after they get their holiday makers home.

I can believe that TAR won't be heading to Egypt this year.  The rest of the Middle East is probably out as well, except maybe Israel.  The security there is airtight.  It has to be -- Israel is surrounded by enemies!

Tel Aviv may work, but Jaffa and Jerusalem are totally off the list for now due to Palestinian protests and political issues. The Gaza Strip is off to begin with.

Then you should only go to the location and cast threads.

[Vodka.]

how about South Korea/Mexico as the first destination?

I'd love Mexico!  We haven't had that in awhile!

[georgiapeach]

Other than sequester...did we ever?

[TARFansurvivor]

Just found out that Marvel is filming Dr. Strange in Nepal, could that open the door for TAR going there 

[dryedmangoez]

They went to Mexico at the start of TAR3. The only visit to Mexico.

Thanks!! I couldn't remember and was too lazy to go look.

Not likely related but I think Phil has been pushing for Nepal for a while now.

I knew that they'd gone to Mexico during TAR 3 but I wasn't sure if they'd gone to Mexico any other time since then.  So we haven't had Mexico since Season 3!  Is it because of drug-related violence?

[dryedmangoez]

Any visit to Nepal would likely be a Non-Elimination Leg I think with a great emphasis on helping out the locals.  Which would be very nice. 

[tennis33]

Could Canada be visited this season

[Vodka.]

what about New Zealand?

[dryedmangoez]

what about New Zealand?

I definitely think Australia, NZ and the rest of Oceania are a big possibility and should be the opening Legs of this Race.

[bottle]

I speculate TAR will return to the Philippines and actually catch the airport screeners in the bullet planting scheme on video which in turn will bring huge media attention to the show and result in a big ratings boost.   

 

 Jig or pig please  and baluts

And ZOMG! When the Pre-Race Discussion thread gets moved to its own subforum... 

[Vodka.]

I am not sure about this, but, is there any possibility that the upcoming season 28 will have 12 teams? Cuz I would love to see 12 teams racing together. A surprise elimination will do, but not on 1st leg, maybe somewhere around Leg4-10? For example on Leg 6 last team to arrive at the roadblock will be eliminated? just guessing 

[naejae91]

No. I rather WRP cut 1 NEL for 12 teams racing for 12 legs.

[claude_24hrs]

No. I rather WRP cut 1 NEL for 12 teams racing for 12 legs.

Could not be. 12 teams, 12 legs and 2 NELs within 9 elimination legs.

[Vitoko]

They are already struggling to show 11 teams in the first episode so I don't see 12 teams racing anytime soon. What was the last season with 12 teams? Season 15 with the elimination of the yoga couple at the starting line?

[naejae91]

No. I rather WRP cut 1 NEL for 12 teams racing for 12 legs.

Could not be. 12 teams, 12 legs and 2 NELs within 9 elimination legs.

I mean adjust 3 NEL to 2 NEL. That's what I mean cut 1 NEL.
