My spec:

U-turn: the chicken task; it's an extra task; when they're done, come back and do the detour
Roadblock: the bicycle task; Jenn is solo; it's her turn to do it; they alternate every leg
Detour: American Idol or Gold Digging

Well I don't know but here goes and remember this can be changed -- I'm guessing here!! ^^ Thats a good idea banzai, wish we knew 100% about the U-turn wrinkle.



tv guide magazine blurb:
11/25 Amazing Race 12:
Sure we love the globe-trotting and the challenges, but we also can't help but chortle with delight as teamates turn on one another ---like one duo does tonight. Hee-hee! My guess Shana & Jennifer, Jennifer is worried because Shana chose to U-Turn Jason/Lorena


Clues:
LET'S NAME OUR CHICKEN PHIL Jason & Lorena?

.
*One Racer cannot control tears from flowing as she is surprised by how kind the people of Africa have been to her. Hendeka?

Teams leave the pitstop in this order~

Azaria & Hendekea -1st Place (Safe= Croatia)
TK & Rachel 2nd- Place (Safe=Croatia)
Nathan & Jennifer -3rd Place  (in danger?)
Kynt & Vyxsin - 4th Place (safe = Croatia)
Ron & Christina - 5th Place(Safe=Croatia)
Nicolas & Donald - 6th Place (Safe= Croatia)
Shana & Jennifer - 7th Place(Safe= Croatia)
Lorena & Jason - 8th Place (in danger?)

Teams running:



Detours Break Out or Dig Out
My spec:

U-turn: the chicken task; it's an extra task; when they're done, come back and do the detour
Roadblock: the bicycle task; Jenn is solo; it's her turn to do it; they alternate every leg
Detour: American Idol or Gold Digging
thanks to banzai

*TEAMS MUST BREAK OUT THEIR DANCE MOVES OR INCUR A COSTLY PENALTY AT A DETOUR IN BURKINA FASO, AFRICA, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 12
*It's American Idol, African-style, as Teams take center stage and dance to impress local celebrities from Burkina Faso. Perform without originality and suffer a 10-minute penalty!
*Teams must impress the local judges in Burkina Faso with their dance moves to avoid a penalty and receive their next clue


Break Out

Siblings

Ron/Christina

  Nate/Jen

  Oh my Goth! You are wonderful!

Jen/Shana

 Jason/Lorena

Dig Out

Gramps & Nic


**A new wrinkle in the Race causes friction between two Teammates as one fears a target has been painted on their backs and karma will bite them from behind.
*A new wrinkle in the Race causes friction between two Teammates as one fears a target has been painted on their backs and karma will bite them from behind
* Shana & Jennifer make a controversial decision 



  Chickens=U-Turn?
"They're gonna hate us"

"you guys chose to do it .."

"I'm pissed"
"Rapido!"
"we are going to screw over the blonds"
:bar:
Roadblock something to do with delivering something on Bike
Ride your something somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that it is the DETOUR.  Notice the double arrow sign behind Ronald/Christina?  I go along with Puddin on this.  So, we have the following doing the Dance with the Stars:

Ronald/Christina
Kynr/Vyxsin
Azaria/Hendekea
Jason/Lorena
Shana/Jennifer
Nathan/Jenny

Not seen or doing the other task:
Donald/Nickolas
TK/Rachel

Chicken Little can't be other half of detour since we have Jason/Lorena with chick in the car

Gold mining has to be a Detour because we see Nicholas and Don mining together.

So Detour ==Dance or Mine
Roadblock==Bikes?

Chicken ==U-Turn or Speedbump since we only see Jason/Lorena doing it and we know they get something done to them by the Blondes. Otherwise, I would say it could even be a FF!

I don't know where the vans come in but there are 2 behind Kynt & Vyxsin aside the fact that we see Lorena/Jason in one and the Blondes in another.

Transport to the dance task? Or the airport if we believe in the TBC? (not sure I do but...)

oh yeah I learned that one--cost me major game points! :crazy:

Okay Dance ==Detour

Mining==Detour

But the gold nuggets are being poured into a little portable scale--so they have to mine X number of grammes or something...

Could this be a chicken in a basket? ???   Basket is lined with a cloth--something fragile--putting all your EGGS in one Basket? :lol3:
Jenny is walking not riding the bike--fragile maybe?

What is in there?

The blondes from LaLaLand seem to have different outfits on in the van?  Or as one of them just removed her striped rugby shirt?  So it looks like van ride comes after they finish dancing with the stars.  Maybe the clue they receive says pick out a van and driver (we see some parked behind the dance arena, I think) and drive to ......... who knows......... and do........who knows.

Still in Bingo? Or the site of the dance (which could be Bingo)? Maybe on the way to the van?

Can Jennifer show more cleavage? Goodness.

It appears from the screengrabs and promos that CBS has once again spoiled the entire episode. Good job, CBS promo department! :lol: :lol: :yess: :yess: :yess:

U-turn: the chicken task; it's an extra task; when they're done, come back and do the detour
Roadblock: the bicycle task; Jenn is solo; it's her turn to do it; they alternate every leg
Detour: American Idol or Gold Digging

I'm liking banzai's idea the best. I can't see why whathisface would be able to help gramps with the Roadblock so it very well could be the other detour option.

I think the shot of TK and Jennifer is at the roadblock because why would they just be standing there?

People say that we will be going Guinea-Bissau
Evidence: plane with G-B flag

please look for this evidence :)

qing_her, I might normally say that the idea of Guinea-Bissau is preposterous. However, given a Sunday flight connection in Dakar, it's not. Teams could go OUA DKR on 2J (Air Burkina) 338 1345 1740 and connect to V7 350 DKR OXB (Bissau) 1830 1930

It could have happened. However, that means that teams finished up whatever tasks they did in Burkina Faso by late morning on Sunday and before going to Guinea-Bissau.  Also, the flights out to Europe require departure from Bissau to Dakar at 1345 on July 16 to catch AF731 (the one from OUA) at 2350 arriving CDG at 0610 on the 17th. It can't be a day later or the first teams can't get through Florence and on their way to Dubrovnik in time to arrive when we know they do. If teams arrive inot Bissau at 1930, they would be doing all tasks in the dark and then having a pitstop by midnight to make that flight(unless it was a TBC). If Bissau is a TBC, then after waiting around in Burkina Faso for such a long time, it would be one screwed up leg, later finishing in Florence. So, my conclusion is that it is highly unlikely that it did happen.

EDITOR'S NOTE - this last paragraph has been substantially revised with the benefit of more after sleeping on it and later revised again.

Thanks--your pics aren't so big fuzzy blooby as mine!

Gold mining in BF is a very hot topic right now. I have been reading the Google Alerts on that for weeks and there is lots to know. Basically, they have just opened up a mine (but I think it is northern BF?) and have high hopes that this will improve the country's economic future significantly.

This is a nice blog about the impact of the gold mining. I think the newest mine has just opened. (open pit mine I think).

Actually, the information I have about gold mining in Burkina Faso is how the one mine that was operating closed due to being uneconomic. It is at Poura, Bale province in the western part of BurKina Faso near Bobo Dioulasso.

How about this as part of the Roadblock? Find certain leaves and deliver? just grasping at straws  :lol:
Search for leaves for sauces (sorrel, "boulvanka"), dry leaves, gather beans, harvest peas, peanuts and corn and shuck corn, harvest gombo
Search for and dry leaves, gather beans, harvest gombo, peas, peanuts, harvest millet
