I thought there were a rumored 7 teams in Kuwait. As you say though, the "India" leg is either a super or non-elim. The non-elim has been this early only two other times: TAR5, and 7, but was actually earlier in TAR6.

As for New Zealand, the spoiler was "A tired looking Asian couple" which we knew must be false (or TAR Asia or something) since Vipul/Arti were out in the first leg. The only other possibility was the Chos, and it seems unlikely that they would be described as a couple. Anyone know about TAR Asia if they went to NZ?

As for the Superlegs, Season 6 was two "legs" in Hungary with no mat stop (just the overnight at the internet cafe). Seven was two legs in India with a mat stop. Eight was Wyoming/Montana legs. Nine's superleg, though, was Moscow and Germany, so here is a case where it was in two separate countries.

Btw, I hope the next leg is in Bangladesh. Do we need to go to India again? True we haven't been there since TAR7, but otherwise, we've been there four times already. Anyone know if Bangladesh is a easily travelled country? However, if it's non-elim, it would be terrible to have racers begging in such a poor country.
