Caps and preview up!

[claude_24hrs]

I think the Murut jumping roadblock in Sabah is at leg 4. Just like TAR19 leg 5, TAR20 leg 2 and TAR23 leg 2, thus both having midway leg destinations.









The rest of the leg is at Kuala Lumpur, and the bar drinking task is probably detour.

Leg 4 order: Pit Start -> Murut jumping -> fly to KL -> Bar task -> Pit Stop?

[Dånooky]

Hooray, the gnome is back! 

[Jimmer]

What is the bald eagle thing in the bottom of caps 1, 2, and 3?

[Spitty2013]

What is the bald eagle thing in the bottom of caps 1, 2, and 3?

lmao I think that is Jessica?

It's someone, but it's definitely a helmet!

[gamerfan09]

It could be Leg 3, because if the bar was the Detour, it wouldn't exactly make sense to have a "rural" leg and then suddenly go urban.

[Zachary]

had a feeling this might be KOR leg..

[NPL]

It looks like it's possible that Lansaran jumping task may take place at the newly opened Mari Mari Cultural Village located only 1/3 mile from the Kiansom Waterfall repelling task in Sabah, Malaysia.
See map of both locations here: http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=5.973676~116.206550&lvl=17&dir=0&sty=h&cid=5195F3E2B0374CF!13574.

There are red banners similar as in TAR 24 promo with J&J and Cowboys decorate the buildings at Mari Mari.

Is it possible that the repelling task and the jumping task happen right after each other?  Or perhaps the Mari Mari Cultural Center is the Pit Stop with one task at the end of Leg 3 and the next at the beginning of Leg 4?

[Plaidmoon]

NPL, I distinctly recall the Mari Mari Cultural Center being discussed while the race was actually visiting Malaysia so I think you're right about that. I'd go wade through the sightings thread, but I have no time right now.

[georgiapeach]

Nice NPL!! Thanks!

[gamerfan09]

The jumping seems to be a Roadblock because Jessica looks tired and crying in the picture, and they look at least wet. I think this is a leg with a lot of ARIs and the waterfalls and the jumping is RB1 & 2 and the Rafting, Dart Blowing, and Dancing are all ARIs?

[Marionete]

Well.... first of all.... what's an ARI..? 

[paradoxinee]

Well.... first of all.... what's an ARI..? 

Active Route Info

By the sounds of this, if all these tasks are in Leg 3 then it's gonna be a crazy leg, with hopefully quite a few position changes like last Leg.
AND it will help sweeten the sour taste of Mark & Mall's elimination.

Nope, I know who goes this leg, it's gonna be even worse for me now 

[claude_24hrs]

Speculation:

I think Dart Blowing is indeed part of one half Detour, and the other is Dancing. I know rafting is the only Active Route Info task, and the waterfalls with gnome is really a Roadblock.

[gamerfan09]

Speculation:

I think Dart Blowing is indeed part of one half Detour, and the other is Dancing. I know rafting is the only Active Route Info task, and the waterfalls with gnome is really a Roadblock.

But Big Easy and Caroline are shown doing the Dart Blowing.

Either they switch or it's a double Roadblock leg

[Jimmer]

I speculate that the Dancing is an ARI, a very short one and the locals are just some clue giver, and then the darts and rafting is the detour and the Waterfall is the Roadblock

Yea, I know who goes this leg too, and I really don't like them! So I cant wait for it!

Umm... what? If darts are a detour option, why can't Caroline and Big Easy be doing it..?

[Bookworm]

Think that the Blowpipe task is a Detour, but not dancing, because our only source is the globetrotters and they are prone to dancing. I think that the jumping to get the Sabah flag is the other Detour option. The Rafting is a Route Info, and the rappelling is a Roadblock.

I think I know who gets eliminated, as they get eliminated either this leg or the next. However, they are one of my faves, so 

[MrDeerShank]

The jumping must be in Leg 4 as both Jessica and Cord are wearing different clothes in the preview compared to the jumping pictures.

So the Roadblock is the jumping task? That's pretty easy I think, but seeing Jessica strugles... 

Oh and those gnomes are so cute with the life vests 

[Lutpay]

The Roadblock is likely the waterfall. You can see Cord descending the waterfall with gnome.

Oops I'm sorry I forgot. So it will be Dancing ARI >> Roadblock >> Detour >> Jumping? or jumping will be on Leg 4?

[David]

I would dare to say that the Dancing is part of the "Into the Jungle" detour. I seems like a couple of teams doing that are the trotters and the singers, probably? IDK.

Looks like the Globes will be doing this each week.

Sneak peek with Dave and Connor in trouble!

'Amazing Race' Sneak Peek: Sink-or-Swim Time for Connor and Dave in Borneo


By Carrie Bell | Yahoo TV – 10 hours ago..

Video here: http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/-amazing-race--sneak-peek--sink-or-swim-time-for-connor-and-dave-in-borneo-210038671.html
 
Just a week after the Bluegrass State duo were "philiminated" thanks to lost luggage and subsequent bickering, another "Amazing Race" all-star team might meet its Season 24 demise thanks to an avoidable misstep.

This time it is Dave and Connor O'Leary who find themselves up sh-- creek without a paddle, figuratively and almost literally. What can be deduced from this exclusive clip from Sunday's new episode is that the parent-child pair is floating down a river in Borneo on a raft of questionable sturdiness with a friendly Travelocity yard gnome looking for the sixth bridge and a food drop-off.


"The O'Leary boys become the wild men of Borneo river running. What a rush, what an experience," Dave gushed in an email statement to Yahoo TV. "Who wouldn't want to add that to their bucket list?"

But it is easier to put it on a bucket list than to check it off one. "I have rafted before, but this challenge was next level," added Connor, also by email. "Going down that river on a bamboo raft that we made ourselves was sketchy to say the least. Our raft started to fall apart each rapid we hit, and by the end, we were hanging on for dear life."

His dad joked, "I thought Connor might get a hernia trying to hold the raft together with his legs and was really glad it was him in front and not me."



And just when relief from leg lock and raging waters is in sight, the men realize they have happened upon the other Detour "Jungle Run" option and one terrifying-looking local. They have no choice but to paddle on, eventually ditch the raft, and hoof it, all of which leads to some semistrongly worded worries that are TSFW (totally safe for work)!

Tune in Sunday at 8 p.m. to see if the father-son set can overcome the unplanned detour within a detour or if they will be the next all-stars whose trip around the world is canceled.

Something's telling me there's a penalty afoot. 

[Plaidmoon]

Something's telling me there's a penalty afoot. 

You may be right. I was going to suggest they finished last then learned it was a NEL. However, they are not dejected enough in the one pic and not elated enough in the second. Unless they are just too tired to react strongly.

[NMC]

I think Meghan's reaction is more like a shocked look towards Joey.
I think even if they were tired, there'd be some sort of elation and excitement from them if it's NEL.   I wonder what happened that could have caused them to receive a penalty? 

[David]

Maybe they are just asked something and are thinking how to answer to Phil. You never know.

[David]

BTW, another shot of the pitsotp location, which is in Meghan's site.

[stekay]

This gives so much away?

[georgiapeach]

Love the greeter. And the mat is wet...does this come right after the rapids?

Thanks for the pic!! I know ONE of you can find the match!

[David]

Just saw oval updated the image in the first posts of the thread a while ago, hahaha.

BTW, it seems like quite a big proportion of the place is wet (look at the borders of the wooden platform), it may be raining, probably? That can be why everything is wet, included the mat?

[stekay]

Are these the white ropes? This is the same place Paradoxiie was looking at

[georgiapeach]

The supports are different... but could be nearby? That is a fairly new looking covered area, next to maybe a store or something?/

[RachelLeVega]

After researching for the Pit Stop on Google Maps, only Pulau Gaya holds stilt housing in the South China Sea. If you zoom in on what appears to be the south-easternmost point of the island, there are a cluster of roofs near the shoreline.

In georgiapeach's front view of Joey & Meghan, the background contains a notable bridge structure, stilt houses, and what appears to be palm trees behind the housing on the photo right side of Meghan. The palm trees are important because it provides information of how near the Pit Stop is to the sand. In David's "mugshot-style" view, note the EVEN CLOSER view of trees in the background and a pathway between residencies like an apartment complex. Both perspectives contain open paths for small boats to travel through.

I'd say the Pit Stop is vaguely located in the northwestern part of the village as I can only see roofs of the village in Maps. Plus, bridges are scattered among.

[georgiapeach]

There is also Tanjung Aru...

Great work, everyone! Nailed it, Georgia. 

[georgiapeach]

This was probably key:

Located 10 minutes from the City centre and 5 minutes from the Kinabalu
International airport.
