Starting a NEW thread for the FINALE!!

It has been a joy to have all of you here with us for the fun!


Please post HERE once the First Team is sighted.

As always, THIS THREAD is for the LIVE SIGHTINGS ONLY...Discussion remains in the  Spec on Spoilers.




JUST a BIG RULE NOTICE:

NO spoiling of the Final 3 Finish order.

Respect each other, love the game, and have a super fun time!



RFF has chosen to follow the adventure the whole way. Tasks Locations and Eliminations.

BUT WE DO NOT SPOIL THE FINAL THREE FINISH ORDER. EVEN IF KNOWN.

Not by posts, or Pictures or Discussion. No MAT pics.




There are many reasons for this...but the most important is that the SHOW is MORE Important than the spoilers.

Having been down this road, we never again want a season of no buzz, no excitement because the outcome was known. We want everyone to have the joy and excitement of rooting for their favorite final 3 team right thru to the END of the VIEWING SEASON.

So even if another site posts the info...WE DO NOT.

Breaking this one Rule will result in an immediate banning, so please be careful!!

But thanks for all the fun, let's ENJOY TODAY!

Phil is outside the Bourbon Cowboy. Several people have been posting videos of a Mardi Gras parade there.

Was unable to get the Instagram stories. First story was Beards in their parade. Second was W&J.

Update, Shen posted them.

More photos of the parade. Peach believes that teams had to find a baby in a king cake at Cafe Beignet. Bloggers left way ahead.

I have been up since 0500 so am a pooped peach.

Will do a brief summary of the day for now and then sort and upload Chateau's and my best pictures and vids  tomorrow.

We were under the (mistaken) impression that we were having a daytime leg.

After a quick looksee around our known sites it became obvious that nothing was happening.

We then got word that teams would be arriving MUCH later than expected. And it became obvious that this was going to be a NIGHT leg. (Darkness falls pretty suddenly here and it was dark by about 515PM.)

The flight arrived slightly ahead of schedule : Delta 2297 arrived 1714 from LAX.

And here is where the oddity began...

Teams arrived early...but WERE HELD BACK AT LAX.
We can only guess this was due to some production issues related to the upcoming leg?   ???.

Teams were finally brought down together close to 7. After much hugging, they were lined up and released in this order:

Team Red: Asian M/F

Team Blue: James and Will

Team Yellow: Our tall bearded MM team

Will add pics tomorrow

Then the taxi craziness began: they all seemed to be doing their due diligence!

Some pics up already, will add more if any relevant tomorrow.

Teams stopped under an archway?? And got their cues.

They then left the taxis and RAN

The first task (well documented) Was the bead throwing …
The throwers were up on balconies above the crowd...New Orleans music playing, as seen in the vids.

James and Will left first with a(TBD) lead...maybe about 10 + minutes??

Red and Yellow followed.(intervals TBD once we review pics)

They danced and played washboard with a Dixieland jazz all the way to CAFE BEIGNET.

This WAS A ROADBLOCK

one team member had to go into the bakery filled with stacks of KING CAKES and look for the baby charm in the KING CAKE.

This took a good while…  with production trying to discourage photo taking outside. (Very strange since the leg was set up to encourage audience participation from the start.)

James and Will increased their lead and left first.

The two team members NOT doing the task were in the garden area outside and were interviewed JOINTLY.

There was a substantial gap  between Janes and the others...possibly around 15-20minutes? (will need to check timestamps.)

Teams left and headed to their next tasks

Will post the rest tomorrow...some interesting things to Come!

Sorry guys...cant stay awake any longer!

More tomorrow with pics. :waves:

The first teams to arrive.  Teal arrived about 5-7 minutes earlier than the red team.  The bearded team seemed to be about 15 minutes behind the red team.  My pictures of the bearded team didn't really come out that well because they were the furthest away from where I was standing.
