source response: It was the girls who I booked flights for, they were in 2nd place at that stage and the flight I put them on had them arriving into Sydney 1st by themselves (although I believe there was only a 30min gap between all the teams arrivals in Sydney)


1 Once they arrived at Sydney they had to find Circular Quay & find a man with a brolly for their next clue, thats as far as I know... Link

2 watching the amazing race getting filmed next to the anz stadium lol Link

source response: what i saw was 3 or 4 different teams getting out of taxis and going into this sports feild area next to the sydney anz stadium. where they had to do a chanllenge involving trapeze. this happped on the 22nd of june, around 9 pm. sorry but i didnt take any picture and i cant describe them for you.

4 it is the Amazing race. Is it coming to Aust? Literally running between the cars. Couldn't stop laughing. They are got into Wicked vans and opened their yellow envelopes. Look out Brisbane commuters. Link

5 the Amazing Race was in Brisbane tonight 97.3FM Nightshow with Hinksy Link

6a They were at Southbank filming and off to the Gold Coast now... 97.3FM Nightshow with Hinksy Link

6b Amazing race clue box was spotted at Kodak beach @ south bank last night Link


7 My sister spotted a flag this morning at a set of lights near where we live. We're fans of the show and she planned a Amazing Race challange for my 21st, so the flag caught her attention and made us wonder what was going on. We followed the markers and signs to a property out the back of Maudsland on the Gold Coast. There were street signs put in for a place that we've never heard of and know aren't normally there. They've gone to a lot of trouble to replicate our road signs.  Link

8 Tour resident reality TV fan, Robyn, stumbled on the crew of a very well known reality TV show filming in our city streets this morning!

She stumbled on the crew and contestants of the US’s The Amazing Race filming Season 17 in Dymocks bookstore on Albert Street! She’s taken some pictures of the contestants and crew looking for maps in the bookstore.

9 I have a post suggesting they may have been seen in the Jakarta airport...following up! Link

11 Australia’s only inner-city beach, South Bank Beach, previously known as Kodak Beach,Breaka Beach and most recently Streets Beach, is one of Brisbane’s most popular attractions.
With panoramic views of the CBD and South Bank reach of the River, South Bank Beach truly is the epitome of the great Brisbane culture and climate we enjoy. Our inner-city beach features gleaming white sand and a man-made lagoon, which is surrounded by sub-tropical landscaping. (Page 5) Web

Thanks Calvin! Great recap and looks like a great party!

I haven't seen the ep yet...is virtual pitstop essentially the same thing as a TBC? ???

I think that the next leg is still in Australia but not in Sydney anymore.  really hope they will not take a flight and instead drive to their next destination s that Jess & Lani and The Richards can still mantain their 2 Hour lead. The editing of this episode kinda sucks because they REALLY make the teams like just behind each other. I'm dissapointed however, this is I think the only time that Jess & Lani could be first and its a TBC  :'( . In this leg I am not VERY Confident however that my Final 3 Prediction CAn be true. Richards, Jess & Lani and Michelle & Claire. but, you never know  :duno:

Looks like I need to keep this thread open for next week as well. Our Timeline (see post #1) already has the next destination...

TBC means to be continued? Dunno what it was called before but Allan mentioned it was a virtual pit stop.

TBC = Virtual Pitstop. There's a big TBC at the end too. :lol:

Remember i said there has got to be a NEL on one of the 3 Australia/New Zealand legs? Looks like i'm right about this. And there are indeed 12 legs, just that one is a TBC! :lol: So that spells 3 NELs and 1 TBC!

On Jess and Lani coming in first and deprived of it. Well, i guess they're still happy with it! They will now have even more motivation to go further.

On Detour before flying to Australia - LAME.

On Dimple and Sunaina, they're getting the villians edit.

On Hussein and Natasha.. 4 hours penalty, ouch.

On Ethan and Khairie, MEH.

On Richards, Okay, you're not the first... :lol3:

On Claire and Michelle... :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

Jess  Lani =  :duno:

I guess Su and Dimple, they're really cut throat and don't mix with any teams at the pitstop as much.. that is why all the other teams are pretty hostile towards them.

Could the "Virtual Pitstop" be their term for a moving pitstop? They could be sent to Brisbane through the Wicked Vans and still be released in order of their arrival???

Probably not, but it's weird they called this a "virtual pitstop" when it really isn't a pitstop if they are asked to race. Perhaps it's called so because the team who folded the mattresses the fastest gets to have their special advantage here?

They also didn't. It was just a helicopter ride which departed LATER and arrived about the same time with the other teams at the airport. :lol:

Did Natasha say: "Were going to take the 4 Hour penalty between now and 11:27"? So does that mean they arrived there 7:27PM but on the timeline it says that they got there around 9PM  :duno:

3rd flight arrive - 7.27pm

To get to the location to find Umbrella man - 20/30 mins?
Finding umbrella man - 20 mins?

About 8 - 8.30pm already

Travel to Hilton Hotel - 15/25 mins?
Fold the bed 4 times and fail all attempts for more than 3 mins - 15mins?

About 8.30 - 9pm

10 mins extra penalty - 10 mins
Travel to Roadblock location - 30 mins?

About 9.45pm

Attempt Roadblock 59034590384 times

I do think teams took around 1 to 2 hours to complete the Roadblock, with all the safety instructions briefing and gearing up and such. Just that Natasha and Hussein perhaps after wasting 2 hours, decided to take the penalty because they just don't want to waste anymore time.

Jess & Lani and Richard & Richard Timeline
5:30 - Arrival
6 - Circular Quay
630 - Hilton
7 - Leave for Olympic Park
8/830 - Finish Roadblock?

4 Other teams
730 - Arrival
8 - Circular Quay
830 - Hilton
9 - Leave for Olympic Park
10 - Finish Roadblock? I think teams finished much later, around 1030.
1130 - Hussein and Natasha giving up = 4 hour penalty

So Jess & Lani/Richard &Richard are about 2 hours ahead from the other teams, and 6 hours ahead of H&N

BTW, I read somewhere here in RFF that there's the person who said that s/he saw the teams arriving in this manner:
1 - American Guys
2 - Chicks
3 - Asian Couple
4 and 5 - not mentioned
6 - Asian girls having trouble with driving and English

Has this happened already?

Should have happened already. The order for mid leg last episode before they flew to another country was -

Richards
Jess and Lani
Natasha and Hussein
Ethan and Khaire
Dimple and Sunaina
Claire and Michelle

Fits the order above.. but needs a double confirmation.
