Leg 1 : Japan
Leg 2 & 3 : Laos
Leg 4 & 5 : Vietnam

It looks like this right now... Aren't Laos and Vietnam "similiar" countries, if you know what I mean? Not very happy with amount of legs they spent in Southeast asia..

19 also spent four legs in Southeast Asia, two in Indonesia and two in Thailand. So there's a precedent for a regional overload.

I bet every time they learned that they were staying in Asia at the starting line, they were like "sigh". Lol

I guess I'm in the minority, but I love the Asian legs.  There is more of a culture shock than in a lot of European capitals and the hustle and bustle, combined with the different alphabet that keeps the teams on their toes and normally only the strong or the lucky survive.

I agree, Asian legs are essentially harder, and as long as they go to a different continent for leg 6, it's not an overload for me.

A Tokyo Leg, let alone any Japan Leg will certainly be very different than any Leg in Laos. Even a Ho Chi Minh City Leg in Vietnam. So even if they're all Asian countries, the Legs themselves would be very different and unique.

The first country after the previous westward Vietnamese visits was always in a region unlike the others: South Asian (10), Middle Eastern (15), and Subsaharan African (22).

Perhaps it'll just be straight-up European this time.

Idk if this belongs here, but if Becca & Floyd are eliminated in Vietnam, they will be the first team eliminated in the same country twice

Why are they STILL in SE Asia?  :groan: :res:

I would say Africa or Europe next!

I fear for only a 4 continent race...

There have been a few photos/ videos with Vicole and Colin/Christie together from this last leg. Do we think this could have been a team swap partial leg? They did it at final 6 in tar30, and it looks like we might be at final 8 right now.

With 5 legs of Asia, I think Australia's out now? I can say the rest of the destination routes will be:
* 5- (6?) Legs of Asia - Japan, Laos, Vietnam, Another SE country ( Be it Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, East Timor? )
* 2- 3 Legs of Europe?

Choosing one of the SA, CA, & AF countries:
2 Legs of Central America or 2 Legs of South America or 2 Legs of Africa?

If it's 5 Legs between Japan, Laos and Vietnam, they won't visit any more countries in Asia (especially as people are apparently having a fit over the route we might have so far) and 99% won't backtrack to Australia or NZ. They'll be moving west now.

Anyone notice how we've gotten a ton of Colin/Christie sightings since the start of the race???

Could that be a sign of something

So it's between Vietnam > Europe or Vietnam > Africa, I think?

Wow, nice fact, and tbh even if that sounds cruel, I wouldn't mind it. I liked them on S29, but not too excited to see them again, especially so soon.

There have been a few photos/ videos with Vicole and Colin/Christie together from this last leg. Do we think this could have been a team swap partial leg? They did it at final 6 in tar30, and it looks like we might be at final 8 right now.
Nice catch! Didn't even cross my mind but now seems plausible, actually.
I was thinking why were Vicole & Colin/Christie spotted together so many times, so that would be an excellent explanation. But they were also on a bus together with TeamFun, was anybody else there to warrant an actual partner swap?

Are we sure it’s 2 legs in Laos?

If Mount Phousi was the pitstop on what we think is Leg 2- Phil seen 6/14- and teams were spotted right by it on 6/16- wouldn’t it be more likely that what we saw on the 16th be them leaving the pit start for leg 3?

I’m sure it’s happened in the past, but I find it odd for the race to circle to the same area of town on two separate legs

Check the Timeline thread that Leg 3 could be a duo of Laos (first half) and Vietnam (second half) at that would be likely 4 legs in Asia.

Assuming that would give two Africa legs and a penultimate leg in South America.

The destination route should look this: Asia > Africa > Europe > Africa > South America > North America ( USA )

I think the main reason people are speculating 2 legs in Laos is because 8 teams were spotted in Siem Reap.

But like it was mentioned, there are THOUSANDS of reasons one team could be missing:
- There wanted a coffee
-They were busy buying food/book/guides
- They were at the bathroom
- They didn't want to be in the picture, etc...

If we don't ever see Rupert/Laura and the Afghanimals, then maybe that was really our final 8, but it's not 100%
