I am sure we already know this, but I believe the airport is Berlin.

If Joey/Meghan make it to the U-Turn first, they are obviously gonna U-Turn Bates/Anthony.
Then, they might get eliminated. (DC Airport Run is only confirmed to be Maxie in the F3.)

Joey/Meghan can not use a U-TURN anymore
they already used one in Vietnam
Mona/Beth's is their only hope now as Caroline/Jennifer's, Max/Katie's and Bates/Anthony's are still eligible to use a U-TURN
btw no more FF???

I thought J/M could use a U-Turn since the last one was blind.

EXACTLY MY POINT. :)
I don't recall which team it was but in one of the first seasons to feature a blind U-Turn it was established through their exit interviews that using a blind U-Turn doesn't prevent a team from thereafter using a regular U-Turn.
The rules about this could have been changed, but IIRC, that availability has been true in subsequent Races since the "blind" element was introduced.

Pretty certain Scotland the Brave is the bagpipe tune in at least the preview, although I'm not sure about the show preview - whether this will hold any significance later remains to be seen
Also, haggis is a Scottish delicacy which involves wrapping potato, meat, onions and other spices/ingredients in a sheep's stomach (which is what teams are stuffing all those ingredients into) - its usually eaten as a New Years' thing but can be eaten at any time of the year, and it's also incredibly unhealthy!
I don't think the Speed Bump is in the same place as a Detour choice. Speed Bumps are (almost) always in the same exact point where the sign is.

But that can't be true since the Speed Bump sign is at Craigmillar Castle whereas the actual Speed Bump is at The Sheep Heid Inn :/
From what I see in the pictures, I think all teams will have an equalizer somewhere else and the "3 hours" that J/M and M/B have on the preview won't mean what they are supposed to mean. If this was recorded in November-December, Scotland is a Northern Hemisphere country and I think daylight only exists until 5:30-6:00 pm at most. And I am not seeing that happening in the images (or else it is a pretty quick race), its seems that everyone will be on the same plane or in planes that land really lose to each other. Having said that, unless they spend the night in some place, I believe that teams will be all in the same air flight. So, I think we are again somehow "blind" in who is u-turning who. Well, maybe we have a clue that Max and Katie got U-turned, due to the "tears speaking by Max" (or they are just as lost). This leg will really define if the further spoils are correct or not, it seems the biggest gap to understand the full picture.

Stylenko,
You will be very surprised to learn that due to the "high northern latitude" effect and exacerbated by the fact that it is at the eastern end of the GMT time zone, Edinburgh sunset for Dec. 3 was 342pm.
And the second... surprise! Look in the background of the pic:(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag91/Aleij1963/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7_zpse055a42a.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Aleij1963/media/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7_zpse055a42a.jpg.html)
Two details about the pic number 7:
First, it's clear that Max has a Detour clue in his hand (and Katie the instructions):(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag91/Aleij1963/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7OR_zps0fc84001.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Aleij1963/media/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7OR_zps0fc84001.jpg.html)
What infers that the SB is before the Detour.
And the second... surprise! Look in the background of the pic:(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag91/Aleij1963/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7_zpse055a42a.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Aleij1963/media/CAPSTAR22/Promo22-10-7_zpse055a42a.jpg.html)
We can only see her back, cause is leaving the place. If you check on cap 6, you can see it's closer to the gate:

So could this mean that M/B finished their speedbump before Max and Katie got to the detour?
I strongly believe Max & Katie are one of the teams U-turned. Max looks really upset in the preview where he says "I'm not shedding any tears". They're probably driving back to the detour after seeing they were U-turned at this point. All the tasks seem close together and I don't think it would be very hard to navigate Scotland, so I don't think it's because their lost. Plus we see them at the speed bump at the same time as Mona/Beth.
Joey & Meghan appear to be one of the later teams (or second) to get to the RB/detour since we can see them getting out of their car in #20, and there's already another team parked.
Mona & Beth also don't seem that far behind by looking at the above pictures. The speed bump is at most going to be a 20min diversion. I feel like there's been so much foreshadowing (especially at the end of last week's episode) for them to U-turn the hockey players. I think the two teams that end up getting U-turned are Max/Katie & Bates/Anthony.
I would suggest that everyone go back and re-read the LIVE sightings. ;)

I think you're spot on. When you compare both promos, we can tell that Joey/Meghan, Beth/Mona, and Carol/Jen (speculation) are at the roadblock with the bagpipes at the same time in the 2nd promo. In the first promo, they show Max and Bates playing the bagpipes. I don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions, but I too think Maxie and the hockey team are U-turned. If this is true, we can assume the hockey brothers are sent home (as long as the sightings of Maxie in DC are still true). Plus, the editors have foreshadowed this U-turn for the hockey brothers for a couple of episodes now. The waiting is going to be torture for this episode! :tantrum
the numbers in shirts of brunettes could mean something?
Yes they do!! :hearts:

the whole post is cleared now
thanks for the clarification <3

uumm... actually both Max&Katie and Bates&Anthony were spotted in DC so... :crazy:
we don't know though whether they were both decoys or just one of'em was or even they were both actually racing as final three
Unless the promo isn't misleading, then probably Max&Katie and Anthony&Bates were in fact, U-TURNED. When we see Anthony&Bates got their DT clue, Mona&Beth's speed bump clue were actually still there. So we know that they were ahead of Mona&Beth. Isn't it more logical for them to U-TURN Mona&Beth instead of Max&Katie. Mona and Beth already had a speed bump to begin with.
Well unless Mona&Beth somehow passed'em at either DT, then I guess It makes sense to U-TURN another team.
They both look pretty happy!
They both look pretty happy!
They both look pretty happy!
Agreed. IMO, they look too happy to be fighting for last.
What if, for once, promos didn't lie? :D
(That "clue" in the Speed Bump is killing my predictions)
(That "clue" in the Speed Bump is killing my predictions)
What clue in the speedbump? ???
Max already has a clue in his hand.
I am not clear on what you mean, can you show me please?
J/M made it to the detour, one of the guys I was talking to was talking to said that there were two really annoying people, male/female so that accounts for them. He also said one of the girls got hit in the face with a melon, but whether that was him taking the piss or not I don't know.

I'm fairy certain they're referring to this cap where the speedbump clue is clearly visible. Is it possible that it's just an extra clue? Do they normally put an extra one with speedbumps like they do in the regular clue boxes? (http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a615/NickatNite92/clueinspeedbump_zps0e42134a.png)
I am still not getting this...where are you all seeing TWO clues?No i wasn't seeing two clues I only see one i went back to check and see if they put two clues for speed bumps (on the ep where maxie got speedbumped) but they didn't. I was just thinking why would they give this much away in a commercial so maybe they placed two on the speedbump and B/M had already gotten one of them leaving the other... but I have no idea it's just a guess haha. And about the tweeting I mean after they are eliminated but before the race is over... like say J/M got eliminated in the beginning could they tweet when they got home even though the race was still going for the racers still in it or do they have to wait until all filming is done? (This sounds really complicated sorry)
Or are you just spec'ing that someone should have gotten their's already??
If so, my advice would be to use the FACT that there is ONE SpeedBump clue and then re-evaluate your assumptions!! :tup:

Okay so that throws that theory out the window :lol3: the two teams we see passing the SB are Maxie and Hockeys (the two we think are UT most) so maybe this leg had a really strange order or something and B/M hadn't gotten to the SB yet but were still in front of the UT teams? All very confusing but J/M B/M never look stressed in the clips so it would be strange to think they are behind. Can't wait for this ep have to go study for a chem test now lol :groan: but glad to be able to comment now thank you for answering my questions!And about the tweeting I mean after they are eliminated but before the race is over... like say J/M got eliminated in the beginning could they tweet when they got home even though the race was still going for the racers still in it or do they have to wait until all filming is done?

I see now (and my previous comment was NOT addressed to you :kuss )
Racers who get elim'd do not go home until the race is over, they are sequestered. And no, no contact with family/friends allowed by any means.
I am still not getting this...where are you all seeing TWO clues?

I am just struggling with the fact that M/B and J/M are too happy in the pictures. Well, we know that producers like to confuse us. So, we have images of J/M arriving to the castle with Sun, and then we have the hockey brothers and Max and Katie running towards the SB with already no Sun in the air...this is really confusing for me to assemble a whole theory. Too much variables :P Have to wait until Sunday to figure it out.
If you have a look at this photo set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/joarwp/sets/72157632419616465/with/8341578930/) the guy took photo's from about 12pm through to about 5pm so it'll give you a better idea of the light through the afternoon on the day.
As for M/B and J/M looking so happy, it may be that they are laughing at the attempts of their partners trying to play the bagpipes, bearing in mind that there are only two of them shown.

Yeah, you are possibly right. :)
oh please. Doesn't anyone around here READ THE SPOILERS?? :lol:
Is it absolutely certain they flew into Edinburgh?
Just last leg, teams:
- got from Grindelwald to Interlaken
- took a train from Interlaken to Basel
- flew from Basel to Dresden
- drove from Dresden to Berlin
when they could've just as easily:
- took a train from Interlaken to Basel
- fly from Basel to Berlin
- get directed to a clue outside Berlin with cars attached OR
- took a set of trains from Interlaken to Berlin (Interlaken - Zurich - Frankfurt - Berlin) or something?
- get directed to a clue outside Berlin with cars
The point is, TPTB like to add 'time-wasters' in an effort to get ahead of the teams, and they've done it more and more in recent seasons - the ferry to Mallorca when it has an airport last season, the train from Barcelona to the Loire Valley when they could've driven from Paris last season, the train to Austria in TAR 20, the train to Amsterdam in TAR 19 just to fly to Panama (when Brussels has an international airport), and so on. What's to say the teams weren't directed to fly to Glasgow or Aberdeen, and then take a train ride to Edinburgh?
Regardless of the how:
(http://i.imgur.com/lwqoP7V.jpg)
I think it's safe to say they're bunched somewhere.
As for the spoiled Joey/Meghan elimination. It could be that both U-turned teams surpass J/M (granted they don't get U-turned themselves) at the roadblock due to Meghan not being able to play the bagpipe.

What are you talking about? The clue said that they had to go to Dresden, not Berlin. In Dresden, they found the car and the clue which said that they drove themselves to Berlin.
And this one looks like a happy face PitStop run to me....

What's to say the teams weren't directed to fly to Glasgow or Aberdeen, and then take a train ride to Edinburgh?
Regardless of the how:

I think it's safe to say they're bunched somewhere.
Teams finish the Berlin leg late at night on Dec 1. So if they flew out of Berlin on Dec 2 for an unknown destination on the Continent, then it is possible that they took another night train to Edinburgh, similiar to the trip from Barcelona to Tours in TAR 21. This would give Phil time to do his standups and could certainly explain the team bunching we seem to have in Edinburgh.
I really can't see how they could fly from Berlin into another town then know they have to get a train to Edinburgh.

I was thinking along the same scenario as how they got from Dresden to Berlin. They didnt know the were going to Berlin, till they answered the questions in the car.
I am working on three assumptions:
a) there was no extended pit stop
b) teams were equalized upon arrival in Edinburgh
c) the normal 24 hour head start that Phil tries to get to film his standups
I think the photo of J/M is under the parking garage at Tegel Airport. Depending on release times on Dec 2, I think it is possible that J/M and B/M stopped at a travel agency to book flights before going to Tegel. Then the other teams get to Tegel, flights are booked and they have a 3 hour deficit.
Teams fly to London and are instructed to go somewhere to get next clue. When they get to the cluebox, there is an HoO and they have to wait till morning of Dec 3. This equalizes the teams and the clue says to take a train to Edinburgh for next clue or location of cars w/clue as in Dresden. Train ride is approximately 5-6 hours and all teams are on same train. Maybe the clue box is in Kings Cross....near the train station. The train ride gets teams to Edinburgh after lunch to do the tasks before sundown.
That photo of B/A at the Bank Hotel appears to me that they are going into that narrow alley, on the east side of the hotel, which has a car park in it. C/J are seen in the same area asking for directions.
Anyway, probably nothing of it is true, but I am just trying to make some sense out of the data.
This scenario makes the most sense to me - especially since there is some tenuous evidence of production being in London...
I like the "Caledonia Sleeper" overnight train for the transport between London Euston or Waverly Station to Edinburgh. Departs 23:50 from London - arrives at 07:22 in Edinburgh.
I'm not arguing that (it's the first list). The other things I listed were to illustrate that they could've avoided Dresden (and Interlaken and possibly even Basel) entirely but they didn't. I think the same trick might be done this leg to bunch everyone up.

I really don't see how they can get to Edinburgh other than flying.
If you get a chance to go to a music store with bagpipes, ask for a go, it's hard enough inflating and keeping them inflated never mind getting the notes right while squeezing the bag to go along with the other pipers.
It is possible they could get lost on the way to/from Gosford House, but Craigmillar castle is well sign-posted in that side of the town, and it's a direct road from Craigmillar to Duddingston.

Pic of Meghan just getting her route info clue after the roadblock, seems like its night there... do we agree?
What are you all talking about?
I see ZERO evidence that Meghan could not do the RB or that they fall behind in the caps. Feel free to SHOW me some if there is any? ???
Also, my Pitstop run comment is only SPEC, they could just as easily be running into the house, we do see them leaving their car somewhere....
(http://distilleryimage2.ak.instagram.com/70ea3854af9d11e29f1422000a1fbc0e_7.jpg)Could just be the lighting in the area of the house they are reading the clue.

And this one looks like a happy face PitStop run to me....
Just speculation, but I also agree this looks like a pitstop run as they do not have any clue on hand and not look like trying to find a clue.
Another speculation is that why it seems no one is thinking Caroline/Jennifer may u-turn Bates/Anthony? It seems foreshadowing last leg that they realise it's time for them to break the alliance with the hockey players when it's almost to the final. I would not be surprised if it turns out that C/J u-turn B/A and then J/M may have a chance to u-turn M/K to save M/B.

What if the RB is first task?
I just hope they feature the Edinburg Castle, Grayfriers Bobby, Artuhur's Seat and Scottish Parliament. But it does not looks like it. :'( :'( :'( :'(You'll get the backside of Arthur's Seat as Duddingston is at the bottom, and they may drive past the Parliment.
It's all specs, like Peach is just speculating like us
It's possible but the way in which the route is laid out, they'd be going back on themselves to get to Duddingston :/It would be possible to loop round without going back on yourself to get from Gosford House to Craigmillar.

Also they were in the pub with contestants until 8pm, which is why I think the pits top is in Duddingston kirk.

Great observation, and if that is correct, then "happy face Pitstop run" would be run to RB instead, right?
FINALLY! I believe that this is above our Double U-Turn Board:

This is The Shepherd's Cross, located inside Duddingston Kirk!

So everyone thought Max and Katie and Bates and Anthony would be u-turned, yet...... :lol3:
Looks like a mis-label of some sort...
What did they need money for on that leg? All transportation was provided. And meals too!!!!
What did they need money for on that leg? All transportation was provided. And meals too!!!!Haggis is typically eaten on the 25th of January, or Burns Night. If you have a look online, you will probably find a Burns supper being held near you round the 25th of January, I would reconmend going as you'll get the full Scottish experience of Haggis, neeps (turnip) and tatties (potatoes) in a whisky sauce, whisky to drink and all the fun of a ceilidh, plus you'll get to hear and see the address to the haggis.
I recently saw Craig Ferguson on Tonight Show. As one would think, Jay Leno bought up haggis. Ferguson got a smile on his face and started on describing it. He said it was really now a holiday dish. Christmas or New Years, I dont remember which. He pretty much described what we saw on the episode. At the end, he said that haggis was one of the most popular foods in America too. The look on Leno's face was priceless. Ferguson said we didnt call it haggis though. Leno asked what it was called in America.
Ferguson smiled and just said.................HOT DOGS
