The tweeter tweeted that he will be going to Sydney. Don't know how it all relates.
Sure, got a couple of pics too. They were headed for Manila, looks like, or possibly Guam. Just a sec, boarding...
Guam or Philippines???

There is a flight that leaves for Manila via Guam at 10:35 tonight (Pacific Time)
-Philippine Airlines flt103
-Leaves LAX 10:35PM
-Arrives MNL 5:55AM (May 28)
But we need 2 flight to the same destination...damn...
But we need 2 flight to the same destination...damn...
I'm trying to find another route to Manila atm.
One has to consider the possibility of two flights connecting through different cities to the first destination. (And that Phil and production may even be on a direct flight.)
There are actually three flights from Guam to Manila that arrive within 2 hours of each other, so maybe all teams are on the LAX-Guam flight and then are split up.

redwings8831........
I like your idea. Isn't this the same thing they did in TAR 20. All teams were on same flight to Miami and then split onto two flights to BsAs?
If they split the teams into two different routes.......the only one I can see is the following.......and it is predicated on the assumption that the teams on the LAX-MNL route are the tail end charlies........
Either of these flights from LAX to YVR....
WS 1699 745pm-1027pm or
AC 557 800pm-1045pm
then YVR-MNL
PR 107 1230 am - 530 am
This would give the lead teams a 25 minute head start.......but I really think the split is in Guam as proposed by redwings8831
There is another possible route.......LAX>PEK>MNL.....but it only has a scheduled 30 minute connection time in Beijing.....too short for TAR to book on opening leg I believe.
@shshhshhshsh they're long gone lol. They are headed to china (seemed like Beijing) and I'm already at my departure gate. Sorry :/
Also, isn't YVR Toronto?

Teams are on two flights:

and then connecting onwards.
No, sorry.
Seems very definite they go thru Taipei.

Since Peach said Taipei.. I checked flightstats and I think we got

B) Shanghai (departures at 9:05 & 10:10AM
C) Guangzhou(10AM, 1:55PM, 2:30PM)
Yes.

Why separate the teams to Taipei though?
I can answer the last question. Based on some studies I did of all the reasonable possibilities, nonstops to Shanghai were too separate in time from any connections in TPE, ICN, NRT, KIX, or PEK (that one was not too bad). However, having both sets of teams go through Taipei keeps them a reasonable separation apart, 75 minutes.
Yeah, I meant that all teams could've been on the same flight from LAX to TPE and then separated on the two flights to Shanghai. Why put them on two flights to TPE that arrive 10 minutes apart?

I will give a different answer: Because that is the way World Race Productions does things. They typically design using 2 specified first flights (with teams qualifying for the quicker arrival at the final destination based on some competition at or near the start line) and sometimes even 3 first flights.
I will sight you the example of AR19, which did not use connecting flights, but those flights to the first destination arrived about 10 minutes apart.

Since you seem to know everything, when was the last time they used two or more flights to the same connecting city that arrived so closely to each other?

China's 'Hollywood' shines in business
Updated: Monday, 28 May 2012, 07:59
(http://i.imgur.com/0yv1G.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/D2kPJ.jpg)
Events happen every day at China's "Hollywood", where there has been outdoor scenery available free for domestic and foreign crews to shoot movies and TV dramas since 2000.
The teams that visit Hengdian for the variety of shooting locations have created a huge demand for the service sector in the town, boosting its growth.
Sprinkling of stardust pulls in the tourists, making service sector grow Entertainment celebrities attract not only huge crowds of fans but bring about opportunities for the development of the service sector. This has been perfectly demonstrated by Hengdian, a town in East China's Zhejiang province.
Many Chinese people know of the Hengdian World Studios. However, its parent, Hengdian Group, was originally established as an industrial enterprise and its business mainly deals with industries including electronics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Hengdian Group created a 19th-century Guangzhou street scene covering 319 mu (21.3 hectares) in just more than four months, which has developed into the world's largest film studio.
Hengdian Group invested more than 7 billion yuan ($111 million) in the construction of the set. It boasts 28 large-scale scenic spots and 11 indoor studios.
The outdoor scenic spots include buildings featuring :
1. The architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911)
2. An imitation of the Palace of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC)
3. A Guangzhou street scene
4. A Hong Kong street scene
5. A riverside scene featuring Tomb Sweeping Day (Ching Ming Festival).
A move that distinguished Hengdian World Studios from other studios in the country came in 2000, when Hengdian World Studios Co, the operator of the studios, made it free to shoot outdoor scenes there. This attracted a significantly growing number of cast and crew to China's "Hollywood".
Over the past eight years, a total of more than 900 crew have visited Hengdian studios to make movies and TV dramas, including some from foreign countries. The number of extras recommended to crew through the extras union under the company's control exceeded 4 million in recent years, according to the Hengdian Chinese Film Industrial Park, a national organization founded in 2004 to promote the development of the film and TV drama industries.
The teams that visit Hengdian for the variety of shooting locations created a huge demand for the service sector in the town, boosting its growth. The tertiary industry in the town of Hengdian generated more than 6 billion yuan in revenues last year, accounting for one third of the town's gross domestic product. The job opportunities created in the service sector exceeded 36,000, said Zhu Guoqiang, deputy director of the administration committee at Hengdian Chinese Film Industrial Park. Tourism, catering and hotel services, costume-making and rental for film equipment and props constitute the majority of the service sector in the town.
There are 14 featured shows scattered at different scenic locations around the studios. They derive from the characteristics of the location or are inspired by the films or TV dramas shot there.
"All the shows at Hengdian studios are performed for limited periods. We are continuously creating something new," Zeng said.
As well as tourists, crews are also the main clients of hotels. Zhou said that there are at present about 40 crews shooting in the studios and there have been 50 at the same time.
Currently, the hotel accommodation capacity of Hengdian contributes more than half that of Dongyang, its governing county-level city, with the total number of beds exceeding 15,000. However, its potential remains big because, during the peak travel season, some tourists stay at hotels within an hour's drive from Hengdian.
As the largest base in China for the rental of film and TV production equipment and film props and the hiring of extras, Hengdian exports a variety of resources related to the industry to other areas where filming is being undertaken.

I think that the 2 F/F teams are safe through the first leg because of the pitstop photos
We already know what time teams were there.
Zouly,
There should be some activity of film preparation around the bund at this time, don't forget to notice if teams are departing by bus or taxi... There's a possibility that they might take some suggestion from China Rush 2 production to go visit rural China?
They are heading to Jakarta.
Anybody can help us check informartion about when will this plane leave?

Are they going to take a train or connect with a flight? I'll check train's schedule in Gambir then go to Soetta Airport
I also believe they flew to Surabaya too. Juanda International Airport is the third largest and third busiest airport in Indonesia.

Jakarta to Surabaya by train...
Lots of trains link Jakarta with Surabaya, via at least two major routes, but the best Jakarta-Surabaya train is the 'Argo Bromo Anggrek' service, which is Executive class only, modern and air-conditioned, snacks and mineral water included in the fare. It has comfortable reclining seats with footrests. There is both a daytime service and a time-effective overnight service. However, the night trains no longer have sleepers, just seats.

Didn't we have bull racing in the second India leg of TAR 4? (with mud, IIRC)
edit - Looks like Leafsfan and I had the same thought at the same time. :)
Since flying arrives 6:00 pm Tuesday and Bull Racing is in next day (Wednesday) daylight, the Train option, arriving Wednesday at 5:44 or 7:30 am, is effectively equivalent.

Chateau,
I think your schedule for flying is off by 24 hours. Teams can get to Jakarta by 1540 today (that being May 29 in east Asia for the past 11 hours) or earlier and get on a flight at 1640 and arrive at 1810 ON MONDAY MAY 29th.
one of the biggest and largest Indonesian community online forum that has been very helpful in spoiling TAR 19 is now being shut down... I don't know for how long, but I guess there's a security agenda... :umn:That Indonesian forum has members from all around Indonesia. So, it's going to be easy for them to look for the teams, even if they go to remote places in Indonesia. ;)
ETA: it's like a Weibo version in China for Indonesians community...
Will there be a double elimination this leg?
Will there be a double elimination this leg?I don't think so,no mentioned "double elimination" in their clue.

Credit goes to my friend in Bangkalan, DavidPutra
So, Leg 1 is DEFINITELY an elimination leg, right? :tup:
Chipndale team seems more "social" than other teams...
Mr and Mrs Greenbeard have roller backpacks based on photos I saw of them, and reta said that the first team to arrive at the Shanghai airport and get tickets was the older couple with roller backpacks, so I think our first eliminated team was the older couple with the red bandanas
Great spot Kiwi Jay! In Chateau's photo of them at LAX here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,27200.msg759045.html#msg759045), you can see them both wheeling baggage.
We know that the blonde twins were on the first flight to Shanghai, so these guys were probably very near the front. If Greenbeard did arrive at the airport first in Leg Two, its likely the twins might have finished first.
GA895, most racers are in this flight.This is really intriguing - the Express Pass in previous races was awarded to the team that won the first leg - in TAR US anyways.

Race set t continue in 4 minutes?

I would suggest not, because in the same situation in TAR 18, Gary & Mallory were awarded the Express Pass. It seems that TAR treats a TBC leg as seperate legs nowadays. Also, we've had reports of only 10 teams at both Shanghai airport and Bangkalan.
does anyone know if the blonde FF team survived Leg 2?!? Prama???? :'(
Who do we know for sure, survived Leg 2???
There's a spot for an eleventh number to hang there, so they could be being tricky.

NO TASK in Alun-Alun. They got a Route Info from a clue giver. Our detective is now following where they're going next. Teams are taking taxi.
Do we know when Leg 3 will start because its has been over 12 hours
What are those things actually? Could it have to something with a RI task?

How long has it been since the last pitstop?
To Banyuwangi, that means they will go to Bali

Apparently, it's this train: 9.20 Logawa KA129 to Purwokerto. Theodorus also believes this is the right one, only he specs they wouldn't go all the way to Purwokerto, because - as you stated - the long ride (they will arrive at 18.24 local time). He thinks they going to leave the train in some middle destination; if I understood him well.

You understand me well, Alenavada :tup:
Thanks bcp!! So....Bali maybe? ???
With the timing and number of trains potentially involved, in my mind they are converging on Yogyakarta. But I'll admit my head is spinning.

No :groan: I hope not!
Yogyakarta (Jogja) - Adi Sucipto Int'l Airport
Actually, if teams really ride Logawa train, I don't think they will go to Purwokerto, since it is really hard from there to get out of Indonesia. The closest airport from Purwokerto is in Cilacap, which is 40 km south, and from there, you can only fly to Halim Airport in Jakarta. My speculation is they go to a big towns that have major airport.
Please be Melbourne... :lol:
and now we're losing their track... :( :'(
should've put GPS attached in one of the racer's bag by our detctive friends in Indonesia... :P
Is leg 3 finished already?? :duno:Yes, I guess
Great job to the Indonesian team!!
If you can translate any of the tweets in Indonesia, please do!
And if anyone can post a map of where the heck we are, it would be appreciated!!
very basic map.
top marker is the Gubeng train station
bottom marker train station in Bangil
Just looking at a map suggests flying to Denpasar and ongoing to AUS as a possibility too.
***pure spec only***
She mentioned "quiz" but dunno if she's referring to a quiz task or a game show-like TV series.
Are teams headed in 2 directions or does the 9.20 Logawa KA129 to Purwokerto the teams got on go through bangil? Bangil is south (by about 25-30 miles) and Purwokerto is west (about 400 miles).No. Logawa train doesn't visit Bangil, the route is different. We believe that they rode Penataran train
The flight from Surabaya to Jakarta landed around 4 hours ago, so teams have likely already got on another flight to an unknown destination.
Teams are likely not going to Singapore, Hong Kong or KL due to quicker direct flights from Surabaya.
Doha anyone?

Is that confirmed? Well obviously theyre not gonna race in Taipei so theres still ome more flight to find! Lands in TPE in about 3 hours..
There's a daily flight arriving at Wattay International (Vientiane) at 9 pm local time from Bangkok (departed ten minutes ago at 750). If there's any possibility teams were on this flight, I could pop over to the airport on my motorbike ... Just let me know if this is totally unfeasible
I've been living as an expat for a year and always hoped those rumors would come true ...
From a Production point of view, it makes terrible sense to go to Taipei or even Hong Kong from Jakarta. Just a terrible waste of money. Anyplace you can go from Hong Kong, you can get there from either Singapore, KL or Bangkok.
I thought there was some pre-race scuttlebutt about Brunei......
They have done 3 legs in Asia.....normal is 4 or 5.........so best bet is they are heading west......as Joab has already said.........SirLanka, India, Bangladesh......with maybe a Dubai, Oman or Abu Dhabi thrown in.....
Here's an interesting tweet from about 7 hours ago.

Rissa is from Manila, but from her earlier tweets, she was apparently in the Hong Kong airport waiting for a flight back to Manila. I've asked her which Amazing Race host she saw. If it's Phil then we have something to work with in trying to figure out where TAR is going next.

Within the timeframe of 7-8 hours ago many flights from Taipei landed in HKG. Also CX 780 came in from Surabaya but I don't know if he could have made that one.
Departures from HKG is insane. They could go literally anywhere in Asia from there or even Aus/NZ.

Based on flights from Hong Kong to Manila (running behind schedule), I'd say she was probably flying Cathy Pacific, which departed from Terminal 1 in Hong Kong. Perhaps that will narrow down where she might have seen Phil?
So if Phil was in Terminal 1 departures around that time he could have been headed for:
Singapore CX 735
Bangkok CX 751
Seoul CX 418
Hanoi CX 1791
Phuket CX 6804
Kuala Lumpur CX 1727
Penang CX 693
That would make the route a little crazy :duno:

The second leg, amputee girl and bf were eliminated (this has been confirmed).
I need to know where this came from!
I need to know where this came from!
It definitely hasn't been confirmed.. Any elimination talk is pure spec at the moment
So a leg in Singapore?
So a leg in Singapore?
Have they ever done multiple legs in a country but done a leg in another county in between those legs?
This would be u.s.>china>indonesia>china, unless they continue traveling from Singapore.
Singapore is an independent nation, quite a long way away from China as well :)
I don't remember them ever doing that before (except the USA of course)

They are flying to Singapore with China airlines from Surabaya Airport :hearts:

Remember we have Phil in HK as well WHY? If there was a Singapore leg? Easier to go direct.

We may have had a sighting of Phil in HK. The woman who saw "the host of the amazing race" has never answered back to say which host she saw. At least not to me.
According to Allan's weibo,he fly to Zhuhai yesterday afternoon...I think he didn't need to transmit at HK from Shanghai to Zhuhai.Remember we have Phil in HK as well WHY? If there was a Singapore leg? Easier to go direct.

Maybe most have not seen ARAus1 since nobody has cited it. My records show that Sri Lanka was visited in episode 11. It involved a circle route to Colombo, Ambalangoda, Galle and back to Colombo, which was the release point for the finale.
The carrying ice bar in TARAus1 was the same as the one in TARA4... repeated task. =/
Nothing at the Esplanade people.. unless you count loads of people watching artsy performances? LOL

use quotes "amazing race" and be sure you are checking ALL tweets not just top tweets. I see it?
FB search however must have some geographic limitations. Or it hates me. :lol:
and vary your search too, try Phil, cameramen, backpacks, filming, other terms. If we suspect a location, start looking at the airports, top tourist places, etc. It is a full time job!! :lol:

The big point is that we cannot be in Sri Lanka and Tel Aviv. And we have no firm sightings either place, so until/unless we do, neither can be confirmed.
IF they are in TA, expect we will get proof.
Perth is crawling with TAR fans, expect more there too if it is real.

They look (at least according to the pic's angle) as a M/M team, so I checked all the photos and videos we have, and the only team both members have black backpacks are the Goat Farmers. But some members of other teams also have black ones, and those two can be part of different teams.

I did the same thing (picture checking) and reached the same conclusion.
But the packs still don't match and the GGFs are not same height as are the two shown in Molde.
Why would the teams be racing today in Molde? last time we had a confirmed sighting was June 2nd in Singapore so there was a flight (Air France) to take them the same day to oslo and then the next day, June 3rd to Molde. And besides why go to Molde? It's nothing special. Bergen or Trodheim would be a lot more interesting ( and with international airports.)Why wouldn't they go to Molde, its a new city for TAR
I don't think that picture is from any of the racers.

Still, I feel that they should explore more of Oslo, which is very underexplored, or venture into Bergen, which is a very interesting city. Molde seems kind of random.

The Jerry Bruckheimer photo of a satellite dish in the desert may be a clue on where AR21 might be right now. There are deserts in many Asian and African countries, but few in Europe.

I don't think it has to do anything with the race as he has recently been tweeting pics of the desert. Maybe a movie of some sort.
Not in Norway, for sure :lol:.
(BTW, we have tweets of TAR in Tel Aviv and now - apparently - in Norway; so I asked again: could it be TAR Israel?)
No guys :lol: , read carefully the tweets below this one, he's currently shooting a movie at the Texan Desert, somewhere in the middle of Texas..
Dr Rox, if you go to the linked twitpic page, you'll see a tweet from one of the JBFilms folks saying they were using it to film in Texas.
Great video!(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb40/domel9/4-4.jpg)
I think this is actually Amy and Daniel in the foreground, based on her hair, and on his cap and watch (see Reta's photos).
I am happy to take any debate over to spec, if need be. :)
Since the HKG sighting was in fact Phil it seems to cancel out the chance of a Colombo leg. These are the best options for leg 4 based on flights:
Bangkok (makes sense but I hope they didn't)
Brisbane
Melbourne
Perth
Sydney
any of these Aussie options would have led to more sightings
Dubai
Hanoi
these two make sense based on no sightings
Tokyo
Seoul
I kind of doubt they will backtrack to these two but Seoul is much more likely than a revisit of Japan
Manila
same as Australia
Just wanted to put this out there:I think Dhaka is a stopover in my view, why go all that way from Asia to Africa? Dubai in my view would be a transit point.
1. I highly doubt Dhaka is a connection or stopover point, so I am SURE we will be having at LEAST one leg in Bangladesh (yay!). Based on the timeline, I am guessing this Bangladesh leg is either leg 5 OR 6 (most likely 5)
I think it is possible there were 2 legs in Bangladesh. It would make sense, given the time it took to get there from Indonesia, and they have to double-up legs in some countries to stay close to a 21-23 day filming schedule. As to Dubai, I think it's 50-50 as to whether it's a location for a leg or not.
And I'm glad a pilot came through. It has been the case before (TAR 10 Sea-Tac was a noticable one as the first westward Race on record IIRC.)

Agreed. Based on MY timeline it seems like too little time between Leg 4 and Leg 5 to change countries. Singapore could have been the connection point between Surabaya and Dhaka, and then maybe leg 4 was in Dhaka and leg 5 was in rural Bangladesh, which could explain why the racers disappeared for a while
as for Dubai, i just don't think we will have a leg there. Bangaldesh ---> Europe feels like a huge jump, so i think Dubai is a connection to AFRICA or the MIDDLE EAST. But right now the only African place that comes to mind is Uganda - its a new location, and Emirates have a direct flight there from Dubai to Entebbe. We will have to wait and see

Dubai is the the UAE, the heart of the middle east. It's not that much of a jump at all.

Sorry I phrased that wrong :groan:
I know Dubai is in the Middle East, I'm just saying I don't think Dubai is a connection point to EUROPE because Bangladesh to Europe is a huge jump!
I'm trying to say Dubai is more likely a connection point to the Middle East or Africa
Do you get what I mean??
I agree with 2 legs in Dhaka. It seems like a place TAR could go unnoticed for a while as well.
Seems like Season 19 all over again but Bangladesh > Thailand (all because Bangladesh is underused). Is it possible they flew in somewhere else in Bangladesh?
Maybe Legs 6-7 in Africa? new country?? Uganda? Because we have yet to see a new country.
IIRC, he was not working on TAR at the time of his death. I think he was working on another show.

I was a little confused too, because I thought the partner of the bandana guy had blonde hair. However, we later see in this video the same girl wandering around and she appears to have two regular legs, so its definitely not Amy & Daniel!

I was able to review the video a few times this evening, and I was eventually able to spot all of the teams. I'm positive that it's Daniel and Amy on the escalator behind the 2 F/F teams. They show up again very briefly at the 2:15 mark when a bunch of teams run from the taxi stand over to the shady area. A bunch of teams ran in that direction at that point, probably because they spotted Bandana Man and his partner. Then there's a big rush to run back to wait in the queu, and we get a good look at Bandana Man and his partner. Both Daniel and Bandana Man are wearing blue tank tops, which made it harder to sort it out, but they are slightly different shades of blue. Perhaps Bandana Man and his teammate came downstairs on the opposite side of the road the way the goat farmers did?

So excited to have had “The Amazing Race” on the aircraft today from Dhaka to Dubai! Good luck to the racers! #TAR @Ihnatko
There's a post from yesterday saying someone worked on the race.
This person is in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This meshes nicely with the sighting by the pilot on the flight from Dhaka to Dubai. It sounds like we had a leg in Bangladesh! I believe that's a new country.

First visit to Bangladesh was TAR17 :tup: so this will be our second visit :yess:
Methinks Myanmar Leg 4/5ish, theres flights arriving at 2:55PM/3:45PM in Yangon.. could explain the lack of sightings & fits the Singapore flight thing

Bangladesh was definitely leg 5 and could have been leg 4 as well. But Vietnam still seems like an option for leg 4.
I do think it is a good chance that Dubai is a connection to Africa or Europe rather than a sixth leg in Asia (there has never been that many.)

I haven't had any luck so far, but here's some search terms that might prove useful (make sure to copy and paste them, because some of the characters are not the same as our alphabet!):

Anyways, based on all the info we have so far as well some speculation, here is what I think the route will look like for TAR 21. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread Peach!
Leg 1: Shanghai, China
Leg 2: Surabaya, Indonesia
Leg 3: Pasuruan, Indonesia
Leg 4: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Leg 5: Bangladesh
Leg 6: Istanbul, Turkey
Leg 7: Istanbul, Turkey
Leg 8: Moscow, Russia
Leg 9: Riga, Latvia
Leg 10: Madrid, Spain
Leg 11: Madrid, Spain
Leg 12: East Coast, USA
Leg 4/5 are interchangeable in Bangladesh. I predict they will be in Dhaka for one leg and the outskirts/countryside for the other leg.
Leg 7 could be a double leg Istanbul or they might travel to another destination in Turkey. Izmir, Antalya, Cappadocia, etc.
Chateau had evidence that they will be in the Moscow Area soon so they'll have one leg there, then Latvia because it's relatively close to Moscow and it's a country that hasn't been visited.
Leg 10 & 11 in Madrid because it is WAYY OVERDUE.
And hopefully an East Coast City. Boston, Philadelphia or maybe Washington D.C.

Why two legs in Spain???
Love the picture Dom!!
And maybe TAR got lost with this:
Madonna visits Hagia Sophia & the Blue Mosque in Istanbul [5 & 6 June 2012] « Madonnarama

Madonna’s MDNA Tour made a stop in Istanbul and will perform at the Turk Telekom Arena, tomorrow. She arrived yesterday at the Ataturk airport...
Sorry Chateau, it was Plaidmoon. :groan:Why two legs in Spain???
And two legs in Spain is a spec. But it's way overdue. They haven't even had a full leg in Spain!
They had a leg in Barcelona in TAR 10 with only a detour.

I'm glad to hear that. After what happened last season with Art/JJ, I was hoping they wouldn't turn out to be another egotistical M/M team.

I'm sure these gentlemen are MUCH friendlier with strangers, given their line of work. Not that I would know anything about that. Just saying.... :<3
since they're already in Turkey, are they're going to places like the capital, Ankara or Galipoli or to the ruined city of Troy and do a task there about the Trojan War? :duno:Troy is in Turkey?? wow, never knew that :gaah:
We'll see how Magic Mike affects the perception of their line of work when it opens in a couple of weeks.

Who is Magic Mike?
Peach,
Prior to current race I got info from tar fan's fren in vietnam who had attended meeting for tar (he said) filming with sponsor company. He said filming will be in hcm. I tried to msg u but ur mailbox is full.
So I speculated hcm is after surabaya n b4 turkey
I am very suprised Phil allowed that picture. GOOD CATCH......
Good job SoYoung!! :hearts:
RFF:
Shanghai :yes:
Surabaya :yes:
Moscow :yes:
It's interesting how we're having as much luck having Phil spotted, apart from the Racers, than the Racers in action. Guess Phil is finally becoming a world wide delebrity. ;)
While it seems we'e not sure if there were one or two legs in a couple of the countries, it does seem though we're having better luck this time around than TAR 19 or 20.
And Magic Mike (IMDb link (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1915581/)) is a quasi-autobiographical film of Channing Tatum's experiences as a male stripper in Tampa before he made it as an actor. The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh comes out June 25th. and also stars Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Olivia Munn. It also open in the UK the first week in July.
Peach, wasn't Phil quoted by the eyewitness as saying he was "waiting for the Racers?" That would suggest to me that the early morning arrival was more likely.
Good job SoYoung!! :hearts:
RFF:
Shanghai :yes:
Surabaya :yes:
Moscow :yes:
Dhaka is probably a leg and Istanbul definitely is.
It seems we are missing one day. The Istanbul leg was run on Wednesday the 6th.
What if Phil was seen when he was doing his standup for the Moscow leg (Thursday the 8th). That would have the Teams running Moscow tomorrow Friday the 9th.
The implication of missing a day is that there may be another leg between Istanbul and Moscow. A TBC into Bulgaria would be possible with the Teams arriving in Moscow on
June 8th FB 363 Bulgaria Air 3:10 PM 7:00 PM
or June 9th SSU 2061 Aeroflot 12:45 PM 4:45 PM
I want that new country!!!! :gaah:

Since TAR is in Moscow.......I just want to repost one of Neobie's observations about TAR/WRP travel to Russia.
TAR/WRP always flies out of Russia from the same city they fly into Russia.
So I would completely discount any train trips involving leaving Russia. I have no doubt that they will fly out of Moscow. I would also bet that they fly out of SVO, if that is how they got to Moscow from Istanbul. I plan to try to do more research, but to me, not only the same city, but always the same airport. With St Petersburg, there is no problem because there is only one airport. But Moscow is different....it has two major international airports. SVO and DME. But in all the TAR episodes there, that I have been following the spoilers........I can never remember at any time, teams arriving at DME...........only SVO. It will be a fun exercise to try to pull up the old info and see if any resolution of this hypothesis can be determined.
One good example of this hypothesis is TAR14. Teams flew to the Asian part of Russia, east of the Urals, for two legs. The legs were in Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk. They took the TransSiberian Train from Krasnoyarsk to Novosibirst. For those that remember, Novosibirsk is where Phil ran down the street in his skivvies. They then went to India. There was a very easy flight from Novosibirsk to Delhi.......but instead they all few back all the way to Moscow and left the country through SVO.
In our discussions, Neobie and I came to the conclusion that there must be some kind of restriction on TAR to fly out the same way they came in. This might be due to the commerical nature of their time in Russia.....maybe a desire to view filmed coverage........or just restriction on making sure they take all the same equipment out of Russia that they took in. It is really hard to know exactly......but they always follow the same pattern when going to Russia.

Dr. Rox,
Your statement if often true but not always. In AR14 episode 6 teams flew from Novosibirsk to Moscow. Some flew to Sheremetyevo and some to Domodedovo. Among the latter was definitely Tammy/Victor, as the telecast showed them navigating the Moscow subway system in a 4.5 hour gap to get to Sheremetyeo, where their flight to Jaipur left from. There may have been other AR14 teams doing the same.

SO Bolshoi Theater would be the PitStop right? He said Phil is waiting for the teams. I thought Phil would avoid taking pictures because it might be spoiled.

Moscow to Egypt sounds WAY too TAR5-ish... Please, not now.
I think a Europe (2-3 leg) route now would be great!

Did this apply to TAR13?
It gets tricky!
Peach,
I get for June 16 or 17:
JFK - none
BOS - none
IAD - none
ATL - none
MCO - none
This is a complete strikeout all the way down the Atlantic seaboard.
Remember we think Taipai is ES this time. If so, that would argue in favor of a West Coast finale.
Maybe this is the time they will come thru the Caribbean or Canada first before going onto wherever?? **pure spec**

I thought ES was placed somewhere convenient to the early race route rather than end city (hence how TAR 18 and I think 19 also (?) had ES in Thailand due to the start in Australasia despite the finish in Miami (and Atlanta).
Thanks! clearly his own private race.
What direct flights are you showing Addis to USA? I have not found any on a weekend anyway...
One way around the light issue you'd get by going from Europe to the USA would be to say, hey, it's summer and Detroit's high enough latitude that the sun sets a little after 9:00pm this time of year. Minneapolis would have been ideal for that kind of thing, but they seem to have really cut international flights since the Delta-NWA merger.

The route has many legs in Asia, it excites me a lot.
I hope one leg in Canada or Portugal.

A skim ofarriving international flights into Detroit (DTW) gets you the usual suspects of Frankfort, Amsterdam, Toronto, Tokyo, Paris, Ottawa, and Montreal.
Don't get too excited - nothing new, just more confirmation :lol:

Good Luck @goodlucklive
Just seen a crew from the amazing race USA zoom passed us - they asked us for directions we were like "sorry" hahahaha
4:00 AM - 11 Jun 12 via Twitter for iPhone
Good Luck is a band from Capetown, South Africa, but they appear to be touring Europe. One of their tweets suggests they may have been in the Ukraine a couple of days ago and another yesterday says they are Amsterdam bound. Their webpage says they have a couple of appearances in Amsterdam late this week.
I've asked for more details.

If leg 4 really is Singapore, I have a hard time believing we couldn't get difinite spoilers from there. We got it from Bangladesh, so why not Singapore? Could be a leg or just a connection like Prophet said
IF, and that is a big if, they flew from Moscow to Amsterdam this morning.....there are two possible flights.
SVO>AMS am of June 11, 2012
KL 902 5:35--6:55
SU 2550 10:45--12:15 (12:31)
There are no passenger flights from DME to AMS on June 9, 10, or 11, 2012.
The Aeroflot flight seems problamatic to me.......depending on where that South African band saw the teams. If they saw them in Schipol......could be the second flight.......but from their tweets, I think the band arived in Amsterdam on June 10th. So that would mean that they saw the Amazing Race teams off airport property.....and would tend to disqualify the 12:31 arrival of the second flight.

I predict at some point in this Amsterdam leg that they will be self driving.
This is the only leg so far that has had an opportunity for some Ford product placement.
So we have a Moscow leg seemingly filmed late on the 8th June, and teams in Amsterdam early on the 11th.. Do we think there must be another leg in between?
Looks like we've got another safe team :)

I remember mentioning Amsterdam a few pages ago, I just didn't expect it would be a few legs later. So this is either Leg 8 or 9, right? Still 2 or 3 legs before end-city, which we haven't figured out yet, but it'll happen sometime this weekend, right?
Looks like we've got another safe team :)

Wow no new countries so far..This looks like TAR15 redux.
Hopefully we'll get one.
:) Looks like you can take the train from Schiphol (airport) to Amsterdam Centraal Station. This might be the first stop of the day in the Netherlands.

If they not have a least one new country in a season, i think it is awful :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah:
There so many great countries, they have not visit yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the moment, I suspect Amsterdam is the tenth leg.It's anyone's guess. However, let me point out that Amazing Races almost always end on either a Saturday or a Sunday in the U.S. If the final location before the finale is in Europe, then he flights would take off early morning in Europe to land late morning U.S. My point is that I think there are another 3 legs in Europe, Africa, South America or Central America before the finale. That means that there were no second legs in Russia or in Turkey.
I think we've had two legs each in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Russia.
I can see the Netherlands being a single leg to set teams up for a leg in the Americas somewhere, or countries in the Atlantic Ocean/Caribbean Sea before returning to the U.S.

Leg 1: USA - China
Leg 2: China-Indonesia
Leg 3: Indonesia
Leg 4: Indonesia - Bangladesh
Leg 5: Bangladesh
Leg 6: Bangladesh - Turkey
Leg 7: Turkey-Russia
Leg 8: Russia
Leg 9: Russia - Netherlands
We likely will see 1-2 more nations. Africa/or Brazil makes sense
Amsterdam is an extremely well connected hub for the Dutch and other Caribbean destinations that will set the teams up for an early morning arrival in the US from destinations that have an enormous amount of daily flights to all over the conterminous States.
Dutch Caribbean and South America:
Saint Maarten
Aruba
Curacao
Paramaribo
Other:
Punta Cana
Puerto Plata
Santo Domingo
Cancun
If it is not the Dutch Caribbean, then the other destinations are not only very well served from Schipol but also from Barajas and that can also give us Madrid!
What do you think?
:lol: Dom El posted this link to a blog where they saw (and photographed) the racers asking for directions in a "red light" district.
http://northernaggal.blogspot.co.uk/2012_06_01_archive.html#8858802055123347191
Amsterdam has 3 such districts, two of which are very near the Centraal Station area.
They probably didn't travel very far.
I have a probable theory that Latvia may have been visited. If the remaining teams were in the Amsterdam area of the late afternoon of June 11th, I researched that there is one flight that could have been taken if Latvia was after Moscow and before Amsterdam.
-airBaltic flight#617 (for June 11 2012)
-leaves RIX at 11:35am
-arrives AMS at 1:00pm
Also last season when they visited Azerbaijan, I believe there were no tweets/info until the season began to air.
So believed route so far:nah, I do believe this should be their legs for TAR 21:
Leg 1: USA - China
Leg 2: China-Indonesia
Leg 3: Indonesia
Leg 4: Indonesia - Bangladesh
Leg 5: Bangladesh
Leg 6: Bangladesh - Turkey
Leg 7: Turkey-Russia
Leg 8: Russia
Leg 9: Russia - Netherlands
We likely will see 1-2 more nations. Africa/or Brazil makes sense
Looks like we've got another safe team :)

LOL is it cold in Netherlands?It's very cold here for the time of the year. Just about 12 degrees and a lot of rain :(
And Chateau just wow at how you found that.
As far as we know, Russia was STILL active on June 10, so suspect they came in directly after 2 Russian legs.
TAR Days of the Week Finishes:

General Trend of late has been to finsh the race on the start of the week........Sunday, Monday, or Tue. Destination or direction does not appear to have any affect.
So although my husband left Amsterdam on Saturday his colleagues had a run in with one of the teams, while they were biking. Unfortunately when they were asked if they knew Amsterdam they just kept riding past the team when they saw the cameras. I am trying to find out description of the team that asked them.

Saw them filming Amazing Race yesterday on the streets of Amsterdam. I probably should try out.
nothing rgarding today
Daniel Greenberg @danieleric17
@DomEL5 it was to big muscular guys running around in red shirts and bags with film crews in front and behind by the train station.
Sounds like the Chippendales to me!! We've seen them with red shirts and bags before!
I think we have to give more weight to the more recent seasons with the generally 12-leg format. We also need to consider (1) the day of the week a Race began filming, and (2) the total number of days for filming.
This season's filming began on a Saturday (local time). It does seem the filming this season has been particularly efficient, with less rest time than in some other seasons. A Friday finish would not be inconceivable to me. There's going to be disagreement about whether Amsterdam was leg 8, 9 or ten because of the incomplete information. That would also influence which day the Race might end. I suspect still that the travel from the 10th to the 11th leg is going to set up the travel for the final leg -- meaning the teams might have a long travel period to get to wherever the 11th leg is set so Phil does get ahead, and then allow Phil and the eliminated teams to get ahead of the final three teams for the final leg, So I think that the final leg this time will be between Friday and Sunday, it could set a surprise if filming ends on Thursday since it does not seem as if there was a huge amount of zig-zag this time around.
Can you run thru how you are getting those numbers please? For example Turkey? Thanks!Sent some info about where they were spotted in Ams to Dom El. :)
I am doubtful of a second AMS leg though. ...

I can't see the exact time, but it says 17 hours ago, so around 3-4pm Amsterdam time.
Newbie here!
This may be meaningless, but there have been two tweets today about the Amazing Race in Norwegian. Most recently:
Kneet mitt, buhu.. Kan si Amazing Race Stavern tok knekken på meg!
Which Google translator translates to:
My knee, buhu .. Can say Amazing Race Stavern took toll on me!
I just remembered that the next amazing race is now shooting.
Can someone tell me please where have they been at this moment?
It is hard to find summary in forum.
-
And TAR have never visited Latvia, so if there is going to be some information - I will post it here.
I believe there will be heavy traffic around all major metropolitan areas in the U.S.
And, now a tweet in Turkish, at 5:39 p.m. Central, June 12:
Begum @begumuncu
Amazing Race'de takimlar Litvanya Vilnus'a uctu ya ekrana gecmisi hatirlayip yapisan tek benimdir
I tried multiple translations of this, but the best I can come up with is: Amazing Race, the teams flew to Vilnius in Lithuania, or screen, useful for eliminating single mine remembered Archive.
Which lends some credence to the possibility they flew Moscow to Vilnius, before Amsterdam.
I've been thinking about logistics of trying to follow teams if they fly into Boston for the final leg, and I agree Sunday would be a pain in the neck to track teams due to various obligations that day, including a graduation party for one person and a school dance for another. Plus Father's Day stuff.
I'm pretty sure the spot where the contestants were seen was the Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam.
In fact it's right across a well known shop that's a popular spot for tourists too called the condomerie.
So, from Dom's time on Natalie & Nadine's picture near the train station we can conclude that the girls are way ahead! :wohoo:QuoteI can't see the exact time, but it says 17 hours ago, so around 3-4pm Amsterdam time.
The Madrid tweet was posted 11 hours ago. It was posted about 5:26 am Madrid time.........which fits with the message. He was getting up early to go to work.
Mallorca looks quite real. Bullfighting?
@czarinaKTA
Amazing Race project in Baillie's!
-------------------------------
Baillie´s gardens are a company in Majorca!
12:19 CT/US
I guess we should dismiss this one as there are more Baillie's-everything in the States and she doesn't seem to be in Spain.
@Peach, You're welcome! :)
The girls are running in the opposite direction though.
So I'm not sure if the other team was lost or whether the girls were going elsewhere first/ running around to find the cluebox/ going the wrong way.
The distances are easy to do by foot though so if they didn't head the wrong way for too long that shouldn't have mattered much and a big time difference can definitely make a lot of difference in this case. :)

There's a "Jonathan Baillie Gardens", but is based not in Mallorca, it's in Menorca, another of the island of the Baleares.
Palma de Mallorca PMI airport doesn't show any direct flights to America. The most likely connecting points should be Barcelona, Madrid and London in that order, so the airports to watch, other than PMI, are BCN El Prat, MAD Barajas, LHR Heathrow and LGW Gatwick.I would add Dublin to the list.
As a follow up from Amsterdam, my husband's co-worker said she saw a small(ish) lost and distressed 'girl', as she described, with a camera man. She did not see any other team member amidst a large crowd. But she did say that there were no Chippendales or she would have definitely stopped :lol3:
I believe that was on Sunday when they first were sighted.
I'm a native Spanish speaker, so any help with translations, I would gladly help

Yes! In Reta's pic 1 of Shangai Airport on May 29th.
If this is true, plus the pics of the other 3 teams (twins, farmers and Abby & unknown), there's (at least) one team missing to our sight. No matter if Amsterdam is leg 8 or 9, there should be 5 teams racing.

Maybe it's because I want it to be, but the only female racer we have that I would call on the small side is Lexi. This could easily have been someone hired to be part of a task though.
What is really interesting is that the small(ish) lost and distressed 'girl', as she described, with a camera man were spotted on Sunday and all the other teams were spotted on Monday afternoon.

I know that WRP likes to level all teams along the way, but could this be a team taking advantage because of a previous FF?

The most likely answer here is that the co-worker spotted something else that day. Though you never really know.

That is a logical answer (why didn't I think about it? :gaah:). But is not the first time that a team has a long time difference with the rest of the pack (for example: Colin & Christie in TAR5 or Charla & Mirna in TAR11). So everything is possible.
Don't forget, the teams are on different sides of the same street. They may just be going to where they can cross the street (assuming they are all going to the clue box at train station). Let's not make too much out of this. :lol:They might have been but it's not very logical because the general crossing is right in front of the station where the trams are facing towards in fact. Mind you the whole place has been a mess since ages due to the building of a metro line.
What is really interesting is that the small(ish) lost and distressed 'girl', as she described, with a camera man were spotted on Sunday and all the other teams were spotted on Monday afternoon.Sorry, that is the time difference that I miscalculated.. Monday there still Sunday here. That was not her talking about the day that she saw them, it was my reference.

So then we have the five teams spotted the same day: Abby & unknown, Chippendales, Farmers, Sri Lanka twins and Lexie & Trey.

Ya I wish I could have gotten more of a description of the female she saw, but she has since moved on in her travels and that is all she gave us. But if any of the racers fit that description I would say it would be Lexie as well. But the description is just to vague to be positive.
Well that tweeter had a photo of Mont Saint Michel.........such a proto-typical TAR type of location. The Tour de France has even used it to start a race stage every now and then. It is a very famous chateau.
Is that Nadine & Natalie, Trey & Lexy and one of the Chippendales in that Instagram photo? We need to find this location!
Looks like the Sri Lanka sisters are taking their bags out of the car, so they are at least second at this point.Are they're the ONLY all female team left on that leg right now? Hopefully they'll won't get eliminated and win the million dollars as the 3rd FF team to win it! And if so, they should donate their money to their people in Sri Lanka who'd suffered from years of civil war. :tup:

It was Lexie. :yess:
Is it just me or does it seem odd to go from Netherlands to Spain and back up to France again?
Is that Nadine & Natalie, Trey & Lexy and one of the Chippendales in that Instagram photo? We need to find this location!
I think it is those teams which means either Abby or the farmers were eliminated in Spain. The blonde is Lexy not Abby because she has Lexy's light blue Nikes.
And the spotter posted pix of the Eiffel tower yesterday.
So final route:
Leg 1: USA - China
Leg 2: China - Indonesia
Leg 3: Indonesia
Leg 4: Indonesia - Bangladesh
Leg 5: Bangladesh
Leg 6: Bangladesh - Turkey
Leg 7: Turkey - Russia
Leg 8: Russia
Leg 9: Russia - Netherlands
Leg 10: Netherlands - Spain
Leg 11: Spain - France
Leg 12: France - USA?
Is it just me or does it seem odd to go from Netherlands to Spain and back up to France again?

And who is that woman ??

ALSO, at this stage, there may well be a decoy team involved.Haven't they been known to run as many as 3 decoy teams to the end?
wait, are there no new countries!?!?!?!?!
It gave their location today as Chinon, France....which is not far fromLe MansNantes........southwest of Paris. And as apskip said.....it is in the Loire Valley.
I think all those tweeters, that saw the teams today, are all from the same church youth group from West Virgina. One of the girls in the group has the GPS turned on her phone.

ALSO, at this stage, there may well be a decoy team involved.Haven't they been known to run as many as 3 decoy teams to the end?
If that is two decoy teams.......who is the second team. Is it a M/F team or a M/M team. I can't really tell. I does look like the one in front has a pony tail, but also could be something dark in the backgound and just a lucky shot. Could the "second team" be the cameraman and soundman?
I think that the teams were headed from Chenonceau to Normandy.
The first tweet from France which mentions the Amazing Race filming was about 6 hours before the Chenonceau tweet, but her last apparent location was Mont Saint Michel. Of course, our first tweeter may have been somewhere else, even Chenonceau. But given the route so far, it seemed strange for the second tweet to be coming from several hours south of the last known spot of the first tweeter. So, I think that first tweeter may have seen Phil doing his stand-ups.
There is a lovely chateau and hot-air balloon museum in Normandy about an hour and a half from Mont Saint Michel called Chateau Balleroy, and a notice on their website roughly translates to "Exceptional closing of chateau Friday, June 15 16h to 14h Monday, June 18. The museum balloons and park remain open." If I am reading twitter times correctly, the first tweet comes shortly after that closure. Given the time frame of the closure, if they were headed there, I think it is a pit stop. I doubt they will be there that long, but they may have booked some wiggle room.
Chances are it's closed for a completely unrelated event, but it sure looks like a place the race would use.
There you go Chateau! That labyrinth looks just perfect! :hoot:
Ibiza to Mallorca by ferry?? We need to look!
Spottedtodayeveryday: Local races in Ottawa and Toronto as well!
Dom El doesn't specify that most of Leg 8 takes place in Russia. He just shows that the Pit Start of Leg 8 will release in Russia. :tup:
I think that 51st and 5th is the location of the CBS Morning Show studios and the Apple Store.....is it not?

IIRC Governor's Island is not Liberty Island.... (where the Statute of Liberty is at) and I could see that as a final mat. In the middle of a Jazz Festival makes no sense from a security viewpoint.I know Governor's Island is not Liberty Island.
I've also considered the possibility of Bethesda Fountain, or even Flushing Meadows, now that Shea Stadium is gone, but the other possibility is a indoor location, like say, Lincoln Center or somewhere else where they can film without being observed.
But the mention of two guys in dark blue shirts sure does seem like an obvious team ID.

From his shoes and pack I think that is this guy (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2021/sightings/Shanghai-reta/BlondesandMofM-Fteam-airport.jpg)
Is it odd that he is wearing a pack in the finale?
Gabriel Farofaldane @Gabolicious
Just saw the host of the Amazing Race while waiting in line for the Ferry to Gov Isle for the Jazz Age Lawn Festival!
Phil could have been using Governor's Island as a backdrop to film a stand up for introducing NYC as the final destination city of the season. That would be a good reason.Of course, there's one other outlier possibility. We don't know for absolute certainty, beyond a doubt, etc., that this is the last leg. One of the "missing" legs could have been an extended pit stop. Would it be possible they'd do a wholly-in-the-US leg for a finale? Just because they've not done it before doesn't mean they couldn't.
But as the clock ticks towards sunset, I am stumped as to their outdoor options, which leads me towards either something well lit at night outdoors or an interior location somewhere on Manhattan. It's way too late to do what they did with TAR 10.
a twitter post has a photo of ____ & Abby in SoHo, they have a map, but i dont see any cameraman...
Phil was spotted about 6 hours ago on the Ferry to Governor's Island. I can't think of why he'd go there were it not for a pit stop. It's not like you'd head to Governor's Island to go somewhere else in the city.
Here's the second pic at the pizza place. A closer one.

So here is the scoop on Team Pink.
They are Nadine and Natalie from New York City. They are twin sisters born in New York City. But their family is from Sri Lanka and they were raised there. They moved back to NYC when they were in their teens. One is attending college to become a physical therapist and the other works for a non-profit organization with ties to Sri Lanka.

When was the last time that there were confirmed decoys in the last leg? Portland? Or is my memory failing me.
NYC seems like a likely place to run decoys, but it seems like it has been awhile since they have used them.
And delivering pizza does seem to be so low key compared to other finale tasks of recent seasons.
I just thought of another location for a possible finish mat.
The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum; the new home of the space shuttle Enterprise; it's along the west side on the Hudson not far from Times Square.
I am really baffled about where the finish mat might be;I'd like something a little more onteresting than a beach on a shore. :)

Backpacks in your own city? That's strange.
I just thought of another location for a possible finish mat.
The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum; the new home of the space shuttle Enterprise; it's along the west side on the Hudson not far from Times Square.
I am really baffled about where the finish mat might be;I'd like something a little more onteresting than a beach on a shore.
Not everything...just maybe these later shots from the new guy?? 10+ hours for a finale is getting long, right?
In a lovely manner I need to ask Peach to keep her SPEC in SPEC too. What is that about speculating about new production lines in the LIVE thread? :) :<3

Have to agree on the decoy issue, one way to make sure people are spotted is to be in Soho on a Saturday.QuoteI just thought of another location for a possible finish mat.

I was thinking about Castle Clinton all the way south; it closed to the public at 5 pm, but I guess they'd need time to set up.
I assume the sighting in Coney Island was real. Any ideas where they would have gone from Coney Island? It would be kind of a bummer for them not to go to Manhattan and stay in Brooklyn for the final. Though not sure how far north they'd have them go - Intrepid is in the 40s on the West Side.

They weren't on the next one. :)
Because of the distance I checked all possibilities in Prospect Park, which also seemed as a great backdrop, but it all came negative.
The live cams and live audio feeds from NY that I was watching, even though I couldn't see the helicopters, there was an unusual helicopter traffic increase exactly from 4:55 to 5 PM, which for a Saturday, unless a local can explain, seemed not usual. About six choppers one after another in the lower Manhattan-Governors Island area.
Decoy choppers?? :lol:
And the tweet was about 330.
Chips spotted looking for pizza at 440.
N&N and Abby+ all seen 550PM -650PM.
Maybe NOT time for a finish line inbetween? :duno:
A nighttime finish somewhere would be very nice.... still looking for the iconic shots...watertaxis to somewhere zooming past the Statue of Liberty at sunset?? I could live with that!! :yess:
So here is the scoop on Team Pink.
They are Nadine and Natalie from New York City. They are twin sisters born in New York City. But their family is from Sri Lanka and they were raised there. They moved back to NYC when they were in their teens. One is attending college to become a physical therapist and the other works for a non-profit organization with ties to Sri Lanka.same guy (Chris Wed)

Backpacks in your own city? That's strange.
I keep having this feeling they're going for something newly iconic with New York. That's the common thread of the locations I've been suggesting all afternoon, and it would make huge sense with HD and a finale in early December.
We got the time of Abby/Srilanka twins appearing just by the time it posted? He may post them later...
Evidence for them not being decoys:
1. The helicopter near them
2. It was getting late to be decoying
Am I missing anything? ???
I want to discuss the possibility that the real finish is today somewhere other than NYC. That hypothesis is based on having all NYC teams so easily spotted were decoys, their the real F3 remaining overnight in France. Decoy teams could have taken overnight trains to Boston, Philadelphia or Washingon or be as close as Long Island or New Jersey or even a repeat of Westchester County (AR10).
I think yesterday was decoys and the race ended somewhere this afternoon (while RFF was down).
Hmmm...Even if that is true, tweets and instapics would have been posted anyhow. There just wouldn't have necessrily been a lot of followup. :)I think yesterday was decoys and the race ended somewhere this afternoon (while RFF was down).
:lol3:
Another reason to believe both the twins and Abby and unknown are decoys: neither of them have a clue envelope or a fanny pack to hold their passports and clues.
Maybe they visited an orphanage while in Spain and gave away their shoes?Another reason to believe both the twins and Abby and unknown are decoys: neither of them have a clue envelope or a fanny pack to hold their passports and clues.
Without knowing what happened in the non spotted legs, if we check all the pics we have of the twins (LAX, Indonesia, Amsterdam and even in France), they always wear black or white snikkers.
(Conspiracy theory, here we go :lol:)
:hearts: :hearts: I am lost. :tantrum
TARFansurvivor, the actual filming is over, but that does not mean that travelers who may have encountered the Racers, or production, might not yet post on a blog, Facebook, Twitter, or other sites in the coming weeks. In the days before Twitter, especially, that was often the case, and if someone didn't have smatphone access to their twitter or facebook account while traveling, thet would upload after they get to a location where they do have such access.
i think we can ID one of the teams in the F3, they have been spotted twice (with cameramen)
i do have a strange theory for @chris_wed's photos:
having teams run around NYC delivering pizza, obviously production know they will be spotted. so they put out decoy teams to run around. they desperately dont want the F3 to be spoiled so they get production in the area to take photos of the decoy teams and upload them to twitter on new accounts and tag #amazigrace so RFF are the first people to find them, and they make us believe whos in the F3
in the 3 photos of ____& Abby, i see no existence of cameramen around them. i dont know about you guys but that screams DECOY at me

Going on your theory....what if they've digitally removed or purposely not taken photos of any crew? If the crew was given instructions to stand away from those teams.
Thanks to JOY S. SWAINSON for allowing me to share these photos she took while at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
Please respect her ownership of these photos and do not reproduce them or post them elsewhere without her permission.
The first 2 are Abby and Ryan leaving the Grand Bazaar. Note that Ryan has a Route Info clue in his hand and Abby is carrying a box of some sort.
My guess is that its a Backgammon game - which is very popular in Turkey.

This is Kelly (of Rob and Kelly - the monster truck drivers) selling tea in the Grand Bazaar. As you can see, our photographer bought some from her!

The bike shop also gives us another location for the final leg we didn't have that day.

Filming The Amazing Race? Pizza delivery to Bicycle Habitat 19h
According to Google Maps, there's a two blocks distance between Lombardi's Pizza and Bicycle Habitat by foot.
And here's a pic from Bicycle Habitat:
This pic from Ryan and Abby is in Elizabeth St. and Prince St., two blocks distance from Lombardi's Pizza too.
they were in oregon on july 28th two girls in orange shirts
I dunno whether this is the right place to put my prediction for leg 8. But, these are the places that keep on popping in my mind:
-Krasnoyarsk, Russia
-Oulu, Finland
-Kraków, Poland
-Wroclaw, Poland
-Aarhus, Denmark-Rotterdam, Holland-Nice, France
Updated with Istanbul info. After supah3ro's excellent find of that photo, I think we can assume that the other two Istanbul sightings yesterday were genuine.
Something I noticed: the CBS website says this race will have 9 countries. Since we already know of 9 countries they will be visiting (USA, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, and France), this means that the unkown Leg 8 is to either be in Russia or the Netherlands.
Which Netherlands Roadblock are they talking about?Maybe they're taking task from other country? Because I don't think those tasks worth to be a Switchback... :duno:
- The TAR12 pole-jumping or the TAR15 bell-counting?
What am I missing? :duno:
If it's either one of them, the TAR15 one would look more interesting, but the TAR12 one would cause muddiness :lol:

What about the windmill fast forward?
I mean they can make it a Roadblock
I wonder what this season's Switchback would be - S4 eel RB?
In this leg's Detour, teams chose between Farmer's Game or Farmer's Dance. In both Detours, teams dressed in traditional Dutch costumes—one male and one female—and rode bicycles to their Detour choice. In Farmer's Game, teams had to strip down to their Dutch underwear and swim across a creek. On the other side, they had to retrieve a special set of golf clubs and play 3 holes of Farmersgolf. Team members took turns with each stroke and had to finish within par of 8 strokes on each hole to receive their next clue. In Farmer's Dance, teams had to find a country festival where one team member had to hit the bell on a high striker (if that team member failed, team members would take turns until they hit the bell). They then had to enter a dance hall to learn a traditional Dutch folk dance and perform that dance in front of a crowd. If the dance was to the instructor's satisfaction, the instructor would give each team member a serving of soused herring which they had to eat in order to receive their next clue. (Wikipedia article)
In the Detour, teams must choose between 500 kilograms or 15 feet (4.6 m). In 500 kilograms, teams drive 30 miles (48 km) to Alkmaar on an outdoor market, don traditional wooden clogs and use a wooden stretcher to carry cheese from a stockpile to a scale. Once it exactly weighed in at 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) of cheese no more, no less and they receive their next clue. In 15 feet (4.6 m), teams drive 12 miles (19 km) to a ranch, where the cow manure is processed into fertilizer. Then, they must searched barehanded through a clues 15 feet (4.6 m) of a pile. (Wikipedia article)I think the 15 foot detour option could easily be converted to a roadblock using the same location. The TAR 15 detour doesn't work without both sides of the detour, it was that combo that made it infamous and led to an elimination (as was the Haybales).
The cast announcement today has shaken loose another sighting. From Facebook earlier today:
So glad the word is out. We met Josh and Brent on the Talgo Night Train to Paris in June when they were in the middle of racing and filming. Caroline and I will be watching on the 30th and cheering them on. Spoiler alert, when we met them there were four teams left!
I don't know if this is something we already knew or not, but it appears that the Beekman Boys are in the final four. They are getting one of the largest reactions on Twitter, so that will probably help ratings. :tup: The fact that the Facebook poster doesn't mention other teams may be bad news for the Beekman Boys though.
Also, I'm not sure we ever nailed down which trains were used in France, so this may help with that.
I think its the mud one. Remember Don doing it repeatdly? that is infamous!Ooh, I hope it's the bell counting from TAR15 :}

The bell counting one was quite frustrating, but at the same time, it had a definite answer, so that tells me they aren't gonna revisit it :duno:

Kamineko, they put the "shave your head" FF for the third time in TAR history last season; so don't take for granted that they wouldn't repeat it again. :)

The written statement they have provided is "one of the more infamous ROADBLOCKs. I believe that the word "ROADBLOCK" eliminates any consideration of DETOURs being converted to ROADBLOCKs. There are only 3 prior ROADBLOCKs in Amazing Races in the Netherlands:
AR4- count and basket 25 live eels
AR12 - ditch-vaulting
AR15 - counting bells
There are obviously many differences of opinion on which of these might be worthy. However, my answer is emphatic: NONE OF THE ABOVE meets my standards for what a switchback should be. World Race Productions hopefully decided for Netherlands on a task much more interesting. We'll see.
I don't believe that one of those three Netherlands roadblocks is going to be repeated. It would be odd to have a Switchback in a different location but those three choices just don't fit the description.
Teams will travel through three continents, nine countries and cover more than 25,000 miles, where theyll be faced with a 10-story rappel in Los Angeles, frying an egg on their heads in Indonesia, working as rat collectors in Bangladesh and revisiting one of the Races most infamous Roadblocks in the Netherlands in this seasons Switchback.

I think Leg 8 will be Latvia.
1. Its a new country, which every season has had so far.
2. I think they put the 2-leg countries early so they wont have to do them while in europe. Yet, to make it easy for production to stay ahead of teams, neighboring countries like Russia/Latvia and Spain/France would make sense. Just speculation though .
I just don't have the impression that they'd be able to squeeze in travel to another country at that point in the Race. IMHO, it's either a second leg in Russia to fly out through Moscow, or in the Netherlands.
Don't forget they have to be able to get Phil ahead of the teams and an additional country would probably use more time than is likely unaccounted for.

Teams were seen in front of the Bolshoi Theater at ~10pm on June 8th. They were not seen again till ~10am on June 11th in front of the Amsterdam Central Train Station. That is about 58 hours of missing time. Figure in two 12 hour pit stops and that leaves about 34 hours to run a leg and travel from Moscow to Amsterdam. Of course the pit stops could be shorter, but just using 12 hours as a marker.
1) How did they get to the Amsterdam Central Train station? I am under the impression that they arrived by train, but from where.....Schipol Airport or somewhere else? Schipol is a major hub for Northwest/Delta. This means lots of Americans, especially in June, yet not one word about anyone seeing them there.
2) If they came from somewhere in Holland other than Schipol, where was it? Well some possibliities..northeastern Holland in the Groningen area or southwestern Holland in the Rotterdam/den Hague area, southeastern Holland at Eindhoven. All have international airports with connections to different places in eastern europe. Bremen, Germany has a large airport just to the east of Holland and teams could have transited to locations in eastern Holland from there. This could represent a 2nd leg in Holland, before teams were observed in Amsterdam.
3) Moscow direct to Schipol. There could have been a 2nd leg in the vicinity of Moscow on June 9/10 and then fly directly to Amsterdam and they were just not seen at Schipol on June 11,but later at Amsterdam Central Train station.
4) 34 hours is plenty of time to travel to a 3rd country in central/eastern Europe and run a leg and get to Holland.

Does anyone have timings for the sightings in Amsterdam, especially at Central Station? I managed to snag @SNKRFRK's tweet at 12.29pm local time, but I don't have an Instagram account so I'm not sure if you can get times off the photos.
But if teams were spotted just past noon, it seems like they wouldn't have just got off a plane from Moscow. The direct flights from Moscow to Amsterdam are 0535-0655 and 1045-1215 (actual arrival 1231), meaning the times don't jive with an arrival at Schiphol at 11am-noon. Connecting flights might work, but it means teams were risking very tight connection times (an hour or so) to make it on a flight to Amsterdam.
This opens up the possibility for other places for Leg 8! But neither St Petersburg nor the Baltic states work for these timings. It'd help a lot if we knew exactly when teams were at Central Station!
About the non logical choice of the TAR15 RB as a switchback because the answer is already known...
Did anybody remember the number of the pickets teams had to count to complete the Detour of the Leg in Lithuania on TAR12?
Did anybody remember the number of steps of the stone stair teams had to count to complete the Detour of the Leg in Salvador, Brazil, on TAR13?
Did anybody remember the number of statues at the temple teams had to count to complete the RB of the second Leg in Indonesia of TAR19?
Do it with the pressure of the race - the Netherlands are on the second half of the race, so any mistake make a difference -, and we could easily chose it over the other two.
I don't know why, but when I think of this, always this quote pops:
Dan: "They do this one season and one person do it for eight hours"
Sam: "Why on earth would you tell me that right now?"
Thanks to yykris,A cluebox spotted in MoscowNow this could be the DUMBEST theory ever, but listen up.

I will give you a different answer than Alanevada. If this were a weekday or if the direction of travel you asked about were in a different direction, then probably he is right about too complex. However, June 16 was a Saturday and except from the western part of the Belt Parkway to Coney Island it should have had reasonable traffic. The drive from Kennedy Airport to Coney Island is 15 minutes. The task itself is the unknown as it would have to be very quick. From Coney Island up to the Belt Parkway to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway to the Brooklyn Navy Yard is slightly under 30 minutes.
So, could it be done in 40 minutes? Highly unlikely with the task time at Coney Island added in.

Good morning Mr. Meinderts,
I have looked in the agenda for the rentals of June, and I haven't found any rentals of an American game show. Maybe you can be a little more specific what they did in the Martinikerk or the name of the show?
My additional question is what the background is behind this request?
Sincerely,
So we can assume that it was either the eel or the ditch vault RB.
Since you asked me to do some research about the Martinitoren in Groningen, I had send an e-mail to the Martinitoren. Someone sended me this back, so I can tell you that they haven't visited Groningen the days the race went to the Netherlands:QuoteGoedemorgen meneer Meinderts,
Ik heb in onze agenda gekeken welke verhuringen in juni hebben plaatsgevonden, maar vind daaronder geen Amerikaanse spelshow.
Misschien kunt u iets duidelijker aangeven wat men in de Martinikerk deed of de naam van de spelshow?
Mijn aanvullende vraag is wat is de achtergrond van uw verzoek om meer informatie?
Een hartelijke groet vanuit de Martini van Tini

I also remember the two poker playing girls not being able to finish the golf or ring the bell.
Really tough with swimming in between.

Maybe they'll put a twist on that challenge, cuz I could really see that coming.

RaceUntilWe Die,
I disagree with your assessment. In 3 words CBS has captured the essence of the first leg of AR21. A team must win it in order to take their prize money, assuming that they win AR21, from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. Only the team doing so will have that possibility, so the pressure to win the first leg will be unbelievable.
I don't know about you all, but that's kind of a disappointing title :groan:
The Amazing Race 21 Episode 2
(http://i.imgur.com/baBW6.png)
Phil: "I'll just say it had hilarious results the first time."
Not the bell counting in Groningen
Not the eels
This has to be, it it was a ROADBLOCK, the ditch-vaulting in an Amsterdam suburb
The most infamous Roadblock that comes up in my mind and can be happened anywhere in Europe is the haybales rolling task. However, I don't think that they would be repeating it again... :(Which Netherlands Roadblock are they talking about?
- The TAR12 pole-jumping or the TAR15 bell-counting?
What am I missing? :duno:
If it's either one of them, the TAR15 one would look more interesting, but the TAR12 one would cause muddiness :lol:
Maybe they're taking task from other country? Because I don't think those tasks worth to be a Switchback... :duno:
And I don't believe it's gonna be the eel RB of TAR4. :( .
What about the windmill fast forward?
I mean they can make it a RoadblockI wonder what this season's Switchback would be - S4 eel RB?
What about the choice "15 ft." of TAR4 Detour?:
"Teams has to dig barehanded through a 15 foot high pile of manure to find their next clue." :o
Kamineko, they put the "shave your head" FF for the third time in TAR history last season; so don't take for granted that they wouldn't repeat it again. :)
The written statement they have provided is "one of the more infamous ROADBLOCKs. I believe that the word "ROADBLOCK" eliminates any consideration of DETOURs being converted to ROADBLOCKs. There are only 3 prior ROADBLOCKs in Amazing Races in the Netherlands:
AR4- count and basket 25 live eels
AR12 - ditch-vaulting
AR15 - counting bells
There are obviously many differences of opinion on which of these might be worthy. However, my answer is emphatic: NONE OF THE ABOVE meets my standards for what a switchback should be. World Race Productions hopefully decided for Netherlands on a task much more interesting. We'll see.
Maybe because of Donald doing it in his underwear? :lol3:

"There is also something that comes up that many of the teams and the audience would have seen on the show before," he continues. "Something that's historic in the history of the race and we decided to bring it back."
Quote"There is also something that comes up that many of the teams and the audience would have seen on the show before," he continues. "Something that's historic in the history of the race and we decided to bring it back."
Hmmm. It could be Phil is talking about something other than the Switchback task; maybe an Intersection? We haven't seen one of those in a while, it is something in the history of the Race. Or perhaps an no-pitstop leg that keeps the teams going into the second leg?
I will say that I hadn't expected the season preview aired at the end of the episode tonight to confirm by the use of a clip that one team makes it to the last few legs, by using a location long time viewers ought to recognize.Chippendales!!!!!!!! :<3 :hrt: :hoot:

..Teams will travel through three continents, nine countries and cover more than 25,000 miles, where they’ll be faced with a 10-story rappel in Los Angeles, frying an egg on their heads in Indonesia
I like that Alenaveda! Now...how are they going to get there? Scheduled ferry? Charter boats? Should be scenic!
Just as a data, between both places there's a four hours trip, including ferry.
What I think is not as important as what Phil 's frame of reference is. Even though nothing has changed in my assessment that NONE of the 3 Netherlands ROADBLOCKS are "infamous" Phil's reference this time was to hilarious. Nobody could argue that counting bells is either infamous or hilarious. Counting eels is not infamous and it is not very hilarious. The ditch vault is not infamous in any respect and I do not see it as hilarious, but it could be viewed as hilarious by Phil.

The commercials being aired in Australia to promote the season reveal it - it's the cyclo Road Block from TAR3. Definitely infamous (the wrong address on the clue led to Derek & Drew's elimination, and probably to Flo's win as a result), definitely hilarious. The only issue is this race isn't going to Vietnam. My guess is they'll do it in Bangladesh.
That is not official.

But there are no missing legs, which means no new countries, sadly, although I would have loved a new African nation!

The switchback task might not be a task that was origanalily a roadblock (im thinking either detour option on TAR15 that cost Maria & Tiffany the race)
Based on previous experiences with switchbacks (hay bales on TAR6 & TAR18 and shaving heads on TAR5, TAR9 & TAR20) if there's one, is gonna be one the RB already performed in TAR4, TAR12 or TAR15.
TAR 20 had a Switchback Fast Forward. :)
TAR20 had no Switchback Fast Forwards. It did have an idential Fast Forward task. The head shaving tasks. But Switchback tasks are the same exact task at the same exact location, according to CBS in announcements for TAR15. The ony Switchback so far in TAR is the hay bale Roadblocks in TAR6 and TAR15. This was the same exact task in the same exact location, a field in Sweden. The head shaving FF tasks in TAR5, TAR7 and TAR20 all took place in different locations. TAR5 was in Kolkata and TAR20 was in Kerala.....opposite ends of India.
I have to disagree with you this time, DrRox. When Phil explained what was the FF (pic below), he used this quote:
"In this Switchback, teams face one of the most unforgettables Fast Forwards in Amazing Race history."
Why isn't anybody think of the haybales roadblock? Or they aren't going to a rural farm area maybe? Dunno.. :duno:
The problem is that the truly hilarious task that took place in the Netherlands wasn't a roadblock, it was a detour. TAR 4's poop pile. We've had tasks recycled from being a detour to a roadblock before in other Races, and we can also assume that given the Fast Forward Switchback last season, TPTB aren't unafraid of relocating tasks for a Switchback.
If we aren't limited in this way, then I would think that would be the task. I suspect though we're going to need more information from the show before we can piece this together. And I agree apskip, it is frustrating.

Ok. He didn't answer me yet, because one of our group rules is not to give spoilers, so I send him a new message with info about Amsterdam leg to let him know that is not that case.
But after some other member requirement, he suggestes it was on Ibiza's beach, and he take photos not only from Phil, but of the teams doing one of the tasks. He also wrote that WRP almost took his cell phone while doing this.

There's a "Jonathan Baillie Gardens", but is based not in Mallorca, it's in Menorca, another of the island of the Baleares.
All the info I can see about Jonathan Baillie and "Jonathan Baillie's Gardens", keep pointing me towards Menorca and, specifically, to the Alaoir municipality on that island. So that makes TAR sightings in 3 different parts of the Baleares archipelago.
So... :helpme :lol: :lol: :lol:
Last night's episode AND last week's episode, the Pit Stop greeter said 'goodbye' to one of the teams in the country's respective language.I have thought about that too!
I don't know if producers have asked greeters to do this to make things more cultural, OR it could be a possible memory task for the final Leg ('goodbye' in every language of every country you visited on the racer), thoughts?
It's not that the greeters are just saying it, but the subtitles in both English and the language are shown to us as well. It could be just a new addition, but I'm hoping they're saving it for a memory task. In TAR19, they showed us the outlines of the countries in the teams' clues, which ended up being a hint to the memory challenge ;)Last night's episode AND last week's episode, the Pit Stop greeter said 'goodbye' to one of the teams in the country's respective language.I have thought about that too!

But, TAR Aus have asked the greeters to say 'welcome' in their language. So, I don't know if this is done in order to make thing more cultural or something.
It's gonna be good memory challenge, though.
It might turn out to be really easy in the end, given how "Hola," "Au revoir," "Ni hao," and "Da svidania" have sort of become general knowledge, and even referenced in popular culture?
Folks are probably just going to trip up between Turkey, Bangladesh and Indonesia, I think.

I say the Chippendales will gonna say that. :lol:
Ok so I have a theory that's kind of out there but... here goes.
So there's a website called buddytv.com. And when you go on the amazing race page there's a certain order that the racers are in. The one on the top left is first, which is abby and ryan. The next one is trey and lexi. Then the Chippendales. And if you see the bottom teams, they've all been eliminated. So if that theory is true, gary and will will be eliminated tonight.
But look at other seasons. They stay the same. Check after tonights episode.
:gaah:
Sorry. Just a theory. But if i am right you all owe me. :groan:
I have a feeling this leg will be a NEL because TAR likes to do that when they stay somewhere for two legs in a row.
Sorry. Just a theory. But if i am right you all owe me. :groan:
We thrive on theories around here! So bring 'em on!! :tup:

Hello!
Although I have read - and very much appreciated - this forum for some time, I am new to posting here. I am unfamiliar with its software format and not at all certain that I know all that there is to know about your protocols. So I hope that this post comes to rest in the right place and that you'll tell me if I'm guilty of a breach of etiquette. That said ...
In your discussion of James' and Abba's impending Synchronized Swimming debut, it seems that the question of location has become centered around Russia or Spain. And - because I don't think that all of the tasks to be performed in Turkey have been identified, yet - I thought that it might be helpful to far better sleuths than I to mention that Turkey boasts a National Synchronized Swimming Team (headquartered in Istanbul) that hosted its first international competition - The Istanbul Open Synchronized Swimming Tournament (http://www.turkishdiary.com/haber/first-synchronized-swimming-tournament-in-turkey) - in September of 2011.
The page - announcing the event - that I've linked also contains a photo of the team. However, I didn't screen print the page or import the image because I'm unsure about your policies regarding those practices.
Now, if you wonderfully talented people think that the tidbit is worth pursuing, you've only to track down which "Fatih Olymic Pool in Istanbul" - and I stopped looking when I discovered that there is almost certainly more than one - is home to the team, obtain a photo, etc., etc., etc ... :)
Episode 6 Title - "Get Your Sexy On" :res::hearts: Better than the last couple episode's title quotes! :hearts: It sounds like something the Chippendales or Abbie/Ryan might say.

The switchback couldn't be the lock roadblock from S6, could it? Idk if anyone saw the same thing in the preview...or even if I saw anything in the preview...but it looked a lot like it. But Phil said that it was in the Netherlands and had hilarious results...so it couldn't be. Unless there are 2 switchbacks this season?
A switchback is the same task in the same location I believe. And the switchback press says IN THE NETHERLANDS so that is what we have to work with.
As for the Netherlands or Holland switchback, it's probably the season 12 ditch pole vault because it ended with Nicolas removing all his clothes instead of his underwear and that silly Nicolas & Don and Marianna & Julia reaction. :lol3: I can imagine the remaining teams each attempting the "jump". I am pretty disappointed it might not be the season 15 Detour though since Maria & Tiffany struggled for over 3 hours trying to complete either correctly and I want to see what the other teams feel to be them (Maria & Tiffany).

Two good reasons why you won't see it in AR21:
1. It was a DETOUR in Groningen.
2. It is 112 miles from Amsterdam to Groningen and 112 miles back. That's 4 hours by train or car. I don't see that as feasible.
I do agree that the tasks of the challenge of "farmer's golf" is probably going to be more inherently interesting than what we will actually see for the Switchback.
Well Rachel, the haybale rb was tragic, not hilarious, so who knows :)
Well Rachel, the haybale rb was tragic, not hilarious, so who knows :)
The haybales is not the real issue right now with this season's Switchback, besides the first switchback was done in Sweden, not the Netherlands. And I think we have our conclusion the pole vault from season 12 will be our star task. :)
The switchback isShow contentJames & Abba lose their passports in Moscow just like Toni & Dallas.

We Was Robbed? :lol:
I don't think if anyone mentioned it here before, but does any of you think that there may be a final task involving languages?
I see that this season at the pitstop they show the greeters saying Hello and Goodbye in different languages, it seems that the final task may require teams to match these words? Just pure speculation.
Edited - Just saw people mentioned it already in last few pages. To me I think this is a very good challenge as the teams probably don't have time to note down the phrase at the time!
Okay sorry to intrude. I just was looking around ;D
Can I ask, what is with the spec of Josh/Brent making final 3? I looked and saw no pictures of them in New York City and if I read right their last spotting was in Amsterdam. I know that Jaymes/James and Trey/Lexie were spotted with crews and Natalie/Nadiya, Abbie & Ryan weren't spotted with crews, and Josh & Brent were nowhere to be found..
I mean.. I can understand the educated guesses with James/Abba last seen in Russia and then Nana/AbbieRyan seen without crews/flip flops and do process of elimination but I'm just looking for the "proof/evidence" that had it, lol.
So could anyone explain to me where them being in final 3 came from? Did I miss an image? :lol:
The cast announcement today has shaken loose another sighting. From Facebook earlier today:
So glad the word is out. We met Josh and Brent on the Talgo Night Train to Paris in June when they were in the middle of racing and filming. Caroline and I will be watching on the 30th and cheering them on. Spoiler alert, when we met them there were four teams left!
I don't know if this is something we already knew or not, but it appears that the Beekman Boys are in the final four. They are getting one of the largest reactions on Twitter, so that will probably help ratings. :tup: The fact that the Facebook poster doesn't mention other teams may be bad news for the Beekman Boys though.
Also, I'm not sure we ever nailed down which trains were used in France, so this may help with that.
I think that Abbie and Ryan are safe. They were seen delivering pizza in NY which I assume will be the final leg of the race. Trey and Lexi, and the Twins were sighted too.
So is it safe to say that The Chips and Trey and Lexi will make the F3 ????
Um, Josh and Brent were not speculated to make the final 3. (I'm looking at Dom El's timeline.) So I think you missed an image.
I do not get it, if Josh & Brent is eliminated this leg and the Twins next leg.
It leaves Trexi and Chippendales in the final leg, with two teams please do not be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next leg is a NEL. Leg 11 - France - wil still have 4 teams racing and - as in Osaka last season - is in that place where it's going to be eliminated the last team.

Was just wondering one thing: the pics of Abbie/Ryan and Natalie/Nadiya acting like decoys in NY, who posted them? Was it the production who put them on twitter? Because, if I remember correctly, those were one of the first posts on a newly created account. And how would normal people know that this was TAR, with the two teams having no cameras around them? Maybe I'm missing something...
Shouldn't the point of having decoys are to mess up spoilers? We didn't had pics of all the final three. But with these ones posted, it just revealed us who made it and who didn't.
Unless those were taking at the end of the day, after the race finished, with the tweenies, who are actually in the final three, doing decoy work with an eliminated team to mess us up. But I may going to far :lol:
the preview for sundays leg says olny 2 episodes left. how can that be? spain, france, nyc. ?????

Next leg is a NEL. Leg 11 - France - wil still have 4 teams racing and - as in Osaka last season - is in that place where it's going to be eliminated the last team.
You sure about that Alenaveda?
I actually don't get the point of those eliminated teams decoying while there ain't camaras follow them. I mean, they're decoying but we still can see it easily

We can only see it easily because of the TAR Detectives.
If they want to decoy, they should also have cameras follow those teams:waves: Sometimes they do: watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEbZ_kCGSDE) and see if something JDLR (just doesn't look right).
so the speculation is the chips lexi/trey & goat farmers are the F3 is that correct.The twins might have had more self-driving problems as shown in episode 10's extended previews. They are capable of completing the tasks easily, so it's a 50:50 chance taking in account of transportation vs. tough tasks.
If so the twins must have some sort of bad luck to get beaten to F3 by the goat farmers. If true i guess with those 3 im wanting the chips to win.
Also agree with poster about decoys whats the point if not going to give them a camera crew as the people there trying to stop from getting spoilers will know there decoys if they have no camera crew there
Lexi pulled something on the promo of the finale. Really seems like the "Hello" and "Goodbye" for chinese. We knew this was coming , that's why we had subtitles.
OH MY GOD I am so excited they're doing the Hello-Goodbye Challenge YAY!!!!
I am from Indonesia. So if I were in that challenge, I at least would nail that one. :hoot:
"Welcome -> Selamat Datang"
"Good-Bye -> Selamat Tinggal"
I am super excited to see my own language in The Amazing Race :hearts:
My picks to win
-The Chippendales -- such nice guys. Yes they played the U-turn but I don't know I don't feel shame on them at all.
-Trexie -- They're so traditional It's too cute :kuss:. I don't know what will they do with a million dollars, for them I think it's too much money to handle.
-Beekmans -- The luckiest team in the history I think.
1. They survived because of a NEL
2. They survived because Rob&Kelley took a train all the way through
3. They survived because James&Abba lost their passport
4. They survived because James&Abba still lost their passport
5. They survived because Abbie&Ryan got U-Turned
5. They survived because the Twins could not drive sticks.
I don't think a season has ever had these many misfortunes which pushed a specific team ahead.
-Twins -- As soon as I found out these two couldn't drive sticks, I didn't know what kind a miracle they pulled if they actually won
I think we're pretty sure the Twins are eliminated this week, in the first episode. :(
James and Abba said it took 6 days for them to get out of Moscow. The way I figure it I don't think that is enough time to get them to the finish line with the other teams in NY. Does anyone know for sure if they made it or not?
:bigwelcome :hithere: Selamat bergabung di RFF..!

:cmas9 Welcome to RFF, BuuYaa! :cmas9 I'm so excited to meet new people at this site.
Like you, I love the farewell language memory task. I can't wait for the finale (but sad when this season ends :cmas4).
Josh & Brent are very lucky to still be in the race bypassing namely Dan & Andrew's (season 13) second to last record and maybe even season 2 Australian version's Lucy & Emilia, but Lucy & Emilia might have appeared luckier than the "goaties" as they were saved numerous times at the beginning and near end of their race...
Episode 1: Last place (saved from elimination by Ross & Tarryn's Salvage Pass)
Episode 2: 10th place (saved from elimination by Adam & Dane's 30-minute penalty)
Episode 3: 9th place (saved by Sue & Teresa's unluckiness in the steps Roadblock which led to a rickshaw race for last)
Episode 4: 8th place (saved from elimination by Kym & Donna totally giving up the race)
Episode 5: 6th place (saved by Ross & Tarryn and James & Sarah's mind bomb leading to a penalty for the Roadblock)
Episode 9: 5th place (saved from elimination by James & Sarah's inability to pay their taxi driver to the Pit Stop quicker)
Episode 10: Last place (ELIMINATED for inability to cope with snow tasks) :cmas13
It's a pleasure to meet you too. :xmas49 I think Lucy said that when she gave the bear hug in the Turkey Intersection task (TARAustralia 2 for the ones questioning).OH MY GOD I am so excited they're doing the Hello-Goodbye Challenge YAY!!!!
