This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.
This is where ALL the spoiler speculation/discussion of the TAR 30 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.
Please use the LIVE START thread for all posts from there.
Once teams head to the airport, please use the LIVE SIGHTINGS Thread for sightings
ALL Discussion of the Spoilers and Sightings GO HERE! :conf:

So we have some slight celebrities after all. Not a full cast of everyday teams, nor do we have older contestants, nor do we have teams that are not as in shape (as I noticed nearly everyone on 29 was uber-fit, when did that become mandatory?).
On the bright side, at least the teams all have a pre-determined relationship...
- Cody (32) & Jessica (26) - Newly Dating & Former Big Brother
- Alexander (26) & Conor (25) - Friends & IndyCar Drivers
- Cedric (48) & Shawn (39) - Friends & Former NBA Players
- April (40) & Sarah (40s) - Friends & Goat Yoga Instructors
- Joey (33) & Tim (40) - Competitive Eaters
Still to confirm:
- M/F in fluro and light green, female may be Indian.
- M/M in black and grey.
- M/F in 'Y' caps, male is Asian-American.
- F/F in pink.
- M/M bald in plaid.
- F/F younger in red.
-
Wonder where they will be going in Iceland. Jokulsarlon is beautiful, but was used the last time they went there. Icelandic hot dogs, as well as shark and Brennevin could also be featured.

The red team I think I heard Phil say Kelsee and Kayla?
The Yale caps I think were named Henry and Evan (Evelyn?)
That's all I got. Phil didn't speak very loud.

Being from Ireland, I was praying for a Dublin start. :( On the bright side, ICELAND!!! Woooohoooo! :conf:
-
How possible would it be for the teams to be racing under the northern lights? Sorry I posted in wrong thread before.
-
A Justin & Diana reference? That's where they got engaged, remember :lol:
-

It's possible, but no guarantee. Also, they aren't extremely bright, so it would be hard to get them on camera. I feel like most of the time, racers finish the legs in daylight too.
-
Iceland? Great! I remember that leg in Iceland in s6 was pretty good. Possible ice climbing on a glaciers.
So, possible routing: Europe->Africa->Europe->Asia->Australia?->S. America?->USA
-

At least there would be never having another South America leg after having four consecutive seasons in a row. Let's start for Europe -> Africa -> Asia -> Oceania -> USA route.
Fingers crossed for a 5-continent, 10 country and a near 40,000 mile race.
-
ICELAND WHAT A GREAT FIRST LOCATION!!! :conf:
You've gotta love seeing a underused country on the Race!
Shame about Ireland though. Maybe next leg!

Pray for Latvia in the next leg. The only Baltic country never visited in TAR franchise and it is way long overdue since the start of HD era.
There are a flights to Riga from Reykjavik-Keflavik with a stop at either Oslo/Copenhagen/Stockholm.
-
I hope Denmark, Belgium, Australia get visited
-
They were seen in terminal 7 and this is what I assume is the flight they will be taking
-
With Iceland as first leg, I suspect another Northern Europe country as next, probably Sweden or Finland, before they go on the Baltic (Latvia)
-
So this is the first stop when they get there, Geitárgljúfur (Source: http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/u/fQYSUbVfts-T7odkrFJckdiFeHvab0GWOfzhj7tYdC0uglagsDcWimYfrc9eEvsmOcsALamOBLLjviNCKpFhiZrXVBC_Rj6uFPLXMgNU3AB9En-LUp8hd0j-Aam-M3bxsShHhkkPMYPP2yDM9JNbkFfyntMzAn4ykVUxTSkQEyiNP1QsuoysYv8guWnusl0_evUUywAUxQgkW2JaGuuKdQ7qhnM/)
That's the thing about Iceland. It's got some cool almost unearthly landscapes in places.
-
Wonder if they'll have an overnight rest like the first Iceland visit?
-
Probably not, with a 2h30 driving time they'd arrive at around 9:30am!
-
Good news: second flight's gate was right near mine!
Bad news: didn't make it in time to have good interaction with teams :groan:
100% on the second flight:
Pro Eaters (Green M/M)
Violinists (Black M/M)
Boxers (Red F/F)
Apparently Basketball was the other team, but I didn't see them
-
The second flight is expected to take off 10 minutes early at 8:55pm and the first flight is now expected to take off at 9:06pm
-
I hope the teams buy good road maps with their remaining cash (cab fare (http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/passenger/taxicab_rate.shtml#AirportTrips) will eat most of the $85). The directions in the Additional Information are not very good (here are driving instructions (https://intotheglacier.is/driving-instructions-husafell/) from a Húsafell tourist attraction; the route is not intuitive and the road signs aren't much help).
-
Pretty sure it is a self driving leg? ???
-
Pretty sure it is a self driving leg? ???
I think he means the taxi fare from the park to the airport Peach
-
1 hour until the first flight lands!!! Woo :)
Will we have anyone there in Iceland that will see the race unfolding?
-
The additional information says that there'll be more money in the cars at Reykjavik (probably in krona), so that might be able to cover a map once they arrive?
-
The first flight has now landed! :conf:
The second flight is about 20 minutes behind.
How long is the drive to the canyon? ???
-
A little over 2 hours it seems
-

By first flight do you mean the one with 6 teams on it?
-

im sorry, im quite confuse about this....they received 85 $ at the starting line, so production took all the money after they pay their taxi and give them back in Iceland or they are receiving more than just 85 bucks on the entire leg?
-
The Delta flight with #Basketball #RingGirls #Violinists #HotDogEaters landed about 20-30 minutes after the Iceland Air flight
According to pictures , the teams on Iceland Air were #Jody #YogaMoms #MasterDebaters #Skiers #Indy500.
I’m unsure of which flight #Lifeguards and #EMTs are on.

There's one photo in the lives where they are queueing at a counter #Lifeguards are on the 1st flight along with #Jody #YogaMoms #MasterDebaters #Skiers #Indy500. Encircled them.
-
They look different with coats on and “yellow pikachu hats???” On their bag??
And maybe the EMTs are the team at the back with coats on now
:groan:
-

:groan:
Upon closer look, it does somehow look like Pikachu Hats because the hats have triangular ears. Not sure with the EMT's though.
-
I have a feeling that the next leg may be in Iceland. Obviously we don't know everything but there seems to be many Reykjavik based tasks, They would probably want to focus on the other aspects of Iceland.
If not it's probably going to be another European leg, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland & Prague are most likely i'd say.
-
Seems like they are going for an athletic themed season. Everyone is involved in a sport, or in an activity that could be loosely considered competitive, and it seems the greeter at the first pit stop is an athlete, as well as the "Icelandic strongmen" that were seen. If this is true, it might help in future speculation of locations/activities. Maybe they will head to some Olympic sites?
-
The strongman/Thor's Power stop was here (https://goo.gl/maps/HVk51S7nduy)--at Ingolfur Square.

Looking at flights out of Reykjavik tomorrow, main cities I'm seeing with multiple flights:
Frankfurt: 6:00, 7:25, 14:35 (2:35p)
Paris CDG: 6:00, 7:40, 15:20 (3:20p)
Copenhagen: 6:30, 7:45, 10:30, 13:00 (1:00p)
Amsterdam: 6:00, 7:40, 15:10 (3:10p)
London (Gatwick): 6:10, 7:45, 15:30 (3:30p)
London (Heathrow): 7:40, 16:10 (4:10p)
Oslo: 7:50, 11:40, 12:10
Helsinki: 7:30, 18:00 (6:00p)
These are just the direct flights from KEF, when looking up the departure schedule
I personally like the look of Copenhagen, but that's just me
-
Remember teams probably can't fly WOW AIR as it's a budget airline who restrict hand baggage like Easyjet and Ryanair.
-
Copenhagen or Helsinki would be amazing!
Though it's hard to guess, as they could easily make a connection in any of those, or other cities.
-
Finland would be terrific. They've never done a Pit Stop there.
-
Personally, I would like to see Helsinki, but knowing TAR, they'll probably go to London :res:
-
Tomorrow there are two flights to Helsinki.
Icelandair; 7:30 --> 13:50
Finnair: 18:00 --> 00:30
So the Finnair flight works perfectly.
But remember that SAS & Lufthansa operate flights to Oslo, Stockholm, CPH & Frankfurt that could take teams anywhere in Europe along with all Icelandair destinations;
London Heathrow
London Gatwick
Manchester
Belfast
Glasgow
Amsterdam
Brussels
Paris
Frankfurt
Munich
Copenhagen
Oslo
Bergen
Stockholm
Helsinki
-
I wish next stop is Spain, but I don't think so, last one was on S24, and we only had 2 others oficially (with tasks, I don't count TAR 3 as a visit). Madrid or Bilbao would be a good choice.
-
Personally, I would like to see Helsinki, but knowing TAR, they'll probably go to London :res:
London is actually quite undervisited, I may be biased being a Londoner but think about it.
They did a leg in S7 and only a detour in S25. That's it, so London would be nice to have also it's not raining tomorrow or the day after :funny: not to mention it's the best city in the world. SorryNotSorry

Just England in general is overused. And they ALWAYS to go to London airports for stopovers! And mate, we all know what the best city is...
-
Forget overused countries and let's move on with some new European countries...
Latvia
Slovakia
Belarus
Bulgaria
Serbia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Slovenia
The next leg would be in Latvia and would be the first TAR appearance of that country. For flights to Riga, the possible departures from Keflavik Airport to Riga:

Phil and the production's flight:
AB3547 KEF-TXL 0040-0605 -> BT212 TXL-RIX 0920-1200
-
I doubt there will be any new European country in next leg since they are in Iceland, unless they make some crazy connections (eg. s12 Lithuania to Croatia leg) which I doubt.
I think that next leg will be in Brussels, Belgium since there's direct flight, and Belgium is not visited in like 11 seasons.

I never thought of Belgium. That sounds like a reasonable idea but I would prefer Bruges.

Bruges is very reasonable to get to from Brussels- just about an hour via train

Based on Jgilpat1's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BZwNI9Injt2/?taken-by=jl.gilpatrick) the Pit Stop was in front of the Iðnó Theatre on Lake Tjörnin (https://www.google.com/maps/place/I%C3%B0n%C3%B3/@64.1457652,-21.9404355,16.79z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x644f18a959fdc764!8m2!3d64.1458232!4d-21.9400124).
-
Looking at possible connections, Luxembourg could be brend new European country...
(https://i.snag.gy/1YNs5E.jpg)
-
If production were thinking about going to Luxembourg, why not go to Germany which is cheaper, easier to produce since they've been there before, has similar visuals, and is easier to get into and out of especially if they're going
to Africa somewhere farfetched on leg 3?
The Black Forest would be nice this time of year :colors
eta: SPEC for Germany
Phil:
AB 3547 KEF TXL 0040 0605
AB 6577 TXL FRA 0850 1005 (though legitimately Phil can get to every major Germany city by 1030)
teams:
LH 857 KEF FRA 1435 2005, and then they can take a train or drive to wherever overnight and start leg 2 on Oct 4.
-
I feel like Copenhagen is the best guess for the next leg (although I wouldnt be dissappinted with England, Belgium, or Finland either) plus there are some flights to Riga, Latvia which is where most of us would love to see get visited
-
I love Copenhagen but it was only visited in S25 and S19, I would prefer Stockholm as we haven't properly had a leg there since S6. I went in October last year and it's lovely this time of year.
-
Can't rule out the possibility of a Zurich revisit.

At least Germany is overused and has going to rule out with OVERUSED countries visited in recent seasons. I expect Spain to be visited in leg 3, the only safe place to visit that country is Madrid.
-
May I offer a different opinion? Since production usually reserves the bounce boards for the pit stop, I'm thinking it might be in a secluded spot of Hljómskálagarður park (photos below--zoomed-in source here (https://goo.gl/maps/GAAeWgqMLH52) and a close-up here (https://goo.gl/maps/kh31WPtav8p)).
-
If Luxembourg were visited, it's a tiny country, but I'm fortunate enough to know a guy there I could ask to help :)
-
Okay guys. Love your enthusiasm BUT:
This is the workzone for our speculation on spoilers. Y'all's enthusiasm is making finding actual info and valuable speculation hard to find.
It is not where you post wishlists for locations or anything else.
All comments here should be ONLY about the spoilers and any LOGICAL info about what may come next.
I am moving everything else to another thread. Help me out here please and keep this tightly focused? Thanks!!
-
Hmm Slowhatch could it be for the post-leg interviews?
You can see the mat being rolled out in front of the Iðnó Theatre...
-
Hey everyone. I stopped by the pit stop this morning just to check things out. Teams were still there. It was 745 am local time -- well past the 12 hours since checkin. Any idea why that might be the case? Could it play into where they go next?
We saw Jess and Cody from a distance doing interviews. Saw debaters mulling about and one of the male-male teams also doing interviews. Either violinists or Indy car. I'm sorry I have trouble telling them apart.
We were right next to their interview spot. I posted a pic to instagram (jl.gilpatrick). Heard them say they were leaving today in 4th place. 100% sure.
Sorry if I'm not posting in the right spot. Don't mean to muck things up but wifi is spotty and I'm just trying to get it all out.
EDIT: I glanced at the team photos again and the team I saw today was definitely the violinists. They came in 4th on leg #1.

Could this have been an 18 hour rest period? I also think your photo is the violinists but hard to tell.
-
It has been many seasons since they abandoned the standardized 12h rest period. Nowadays the rest period is as long as production wants. I get a feeling that the things which determines the length is which transport they are going to take during the next leg. They try to avoid having one team getting on an earlier flight which arrives hours ahead of the others.
-
For teams heading to AMS, at least one lucky team will prob. be on Wow airlines - WW 446 KEFAMS 1510 2030
But space is really tight on all the flights out of KEF today, so I would expect lots of different connecting flights, most of which will give them a forced overnight and have them arriving into AMS tomorrow morning between 7-10am. Two seats are available on lots of flights, but not 4 per team, so unless production has blocked some flights, this could get interesting. More than half the flights departing today are completely sold out already.
Iceland has been such a popular destination over the past few years that air seats are always at a premium.
-
At least there could be train from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Antwerp, Belgium that would arrive by 11:15 pm. Just like the teams did ride a train from Brussels to Amsterdam Airport in TAR 19.
-
Any sign of team Indy?
-
How do we know that Amsterdam is the location? As they were spotted at the airport 2 hours ago. Icelandair flight to Copehangen left 13:00 Iceland time (1 hour ago). Would The Amazing Race take a crappy discount airline flight (Wow Airlines) to Amsterdam?

We don't really until we see them doing tasks.
-
In one of the pictures at the airport, it looks like they are taking WOW Airlines because the plane is purple. The WOW flight leaves at 3:10pm local time and landed 8:30pm local time. The flight number is 466 .
-
So that means they'll touch down in AMS at 830pm.
-
Unless they are sitting there as a distraction.... Odd to be using ONE flight on a NOT usual airline. ???
-
WW is a major player in the Iceland Air industry, WOW and Icelandair are the majority of their convenient flights, so the airline is new, but it's not a small, low cost one like an Easyjet or anything like that.

In case WOW is ruled out, only London is left in sooner European flights.

Okay, that helps! And looks like too limited flight options to have 2 groups?
-
I think the teams had been at the airport for a long time. I overheard the Yale debaters say “they had exhausted all their options” re things to see/sit in the airport as they walked to the gate area. also the two major airlines here are both not usual: Icelandair and WOWair.
-
Hey everyone, hope I'm in the right thread - I see some posts here and on reddit about TAR flying to Amsterdam tonight. Some users have mentioned that the flight will arrive 20.30 local time (CEST) but the airport website says its landing at 19.50 instead.
In case I go the the airport (I'd have to leave in 40 minutes) - what are the odds I can see some teams and gain some info? Furthermore, would it be appreciated if I look into flights or trains leaving after 19.50 or has that been covered already?
Thanks a lot!

Hi and welcome to RFF! :conf: These are some good leads. If you do find info, please do feel free to post it here.
-
Do we know if ALL teams are on that flight to AMS, or just some?
-
Looks like Team Indy is still in the running
(https://i.imgur.com/QwxPPhh.jpg)
-
Because I did not stay and watch them board, it is possible that they were waiting to clear passport control to go down to D gates.
-
Okay then! Hopping on a bus in about 45 minutes... Should be there at 19.22 with the flight arriving at 19.45. Phone fully charged so I will try and keep you updated. Would you recommend I post pictures or information here or send it to someone first? (If I get anything at all that is!)

You could either post the pictures here by using the attachments part. If you do encounter a problem you could send it to our amazing moderator, georgiapeach.

flight WW 446 is now due at 19.59

Send them to me first . Messaging you now...let's take this to messages.
-
...
-
So are all the teams on the same flight?
-
It's the only flight that will get them into AMS tonight, so anyone who isn't is a day behind.
And the flight was showing as fully sold out before they departed, so I have more than a sneaking suspicion that production was holding a block of seats to ensure they all got on.
-
And we are sure they are on this flight to Amsterdam? And we are sure it’s not just a connection?
Seems kinda late at night to start doing tasks for a leg, no?
Wish we had a pic of their clue (like we did for their rote info to Reykjavic)
EDIT : duh . I completely forgot about HOurs of Operation type tasks and stuff like that. Nvm
-
Our teams are landing in 15 minutes!! :conf:
-
Teams have safely landed into Schipol :conf:
-
I’m gonna check Snap Map to see if theres anything
-
So which flight are they on then
The only flight I see landing from Reykjavik is WOW Air 446 at 8:08 PM (Netherlands time).
-
There will be a lot of people that are familiar with the Amazing Race in Amsterdam. I’m hoping we will have a lot of insight/media for this leg
-
Amsterdam, confirmed

This confirms the airline, flight and destination for leg 2!!
-
I wonder why they flew to Amsterdam and not Brussels? Icelandair had a direct Keflavik --> Brussels today landing at 12:40. Maybe they wanted the leg to take place tomorrow?
-
Was it confirmed that the last team out was the ring girls?
-

Maybe just cost cutting since WOW is lowcost airline
-
I posted this originally in the wrong post:
Who was not there waiting for train? aka kicked off on the first leg
-
nvm
-
Change of thought
-
I have a friend at the ready who's only half an hour from Antwerp and able to travel if needed :)
:conf: Woohoo!
If only we knew which Shop in Antwerp they were looking for!! Or maybe your friend is willing to follow from the train station? So cool

I'd lean towards them wanting to film tomorrow.
They'd be getting in to whichever city late enough that they could make sure teams are bunched together with an HoO at the start, versus teams racing against the sun/possible locations closing early evening- depending on what they're doing/where they're going
I think that's why they decided to wait for the late flight too, since there were some earlier flights to Amsterdam that would've gotten them there around the same time as the Brussels one.
-

Maybe Phil and the production staff took the direct flight and had the teams go through Amsterdam so that production would arrive a few hours ahead of the teams. Unless there was a flight last night that the production team could take.
-
At least there could be train from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Antwerp, Belgium that would arrive by 11:15 pm. Just like the teams did ride a train from Brussels to Amsterdam Airport in TAR 19.
Yes. My prediction of Antwerp was right.

It's not direct, however based on timing I think Phil and production could've taken
VY 8561 KEF BCN 2320 0519 (10/3)
VY 8988 BCN BRU 0657 0907 (10/3)
and then traveled onward to Antwerp and filmed all of the standups earlier today.

Maybe it could to do with the BrusselsTerrorist attack?

Antwerp is not Brussels. But BVM is from Belgium. Netherlands. :-[

So, teams flew into Amsterdam and then took a train to Antwerp?
I am getting very confused and so, I am I correct?

Correct so far.
We'll prob have to wait until tomorrow (for them) to see if they stay in Antwerp or hop around the country a bit more
-
They WILL likely racing to Antwerp tho,refer to the last sighting, but so far no further sighting yet
-
It looks like Trevor & Christopher standing with Phil in the instagram sighting (look at the taller guy's beard).
And it must be Jen & Kristi to the side.
Could this mean that the girls checked in just before them?
And that both could be at the front, considering that the leg was rather short this morning, and that no other teams are visible?
-
Are those costumes they're wearing supposed to be French Fries??? Weren't French Fries invented in Belgium?
-
Hi guys! It appears the post about confirming the ring girls have been eliminated has been deleted (Or my computer/phone are messing up). If it was deleted was there something that made you question if they are still in the running?
-

I was guessing they were flowers but french fries sounds more like something TAR would do. Wikipedia says french fries were invented in either Belgium or France back in the late 1600s - early 1700s.
-
To answer your question Miakenzi --
Any posts that confirm elimination of the teams have/will be deleted or edited out of respect for the family of the teams. We technically cant really confirm whether a team has been eliminated or not until we see it unfold on the show. Until then, as far as sightings go, we can all feel free to interpret the evidence whichever way we want.
(This is what I was told by a moderator.. not word for word but the jist of it)

The yellow parts are shaped like fries, the white is supposed to be the serving "cone."
-
Removed information about TAR 16 that I mistakenly thought was current news.
-
I'm pretty sure that the French fries cones are the Indy500 team.
The shoes match earlier shots of them.

Here is a clear shot of their shoes.

Yes it is them.

Crote Markt looks like the Pitstop of this Leg. Saw in the videos posted Phil is with a woman in a Medieval-inspired dress, Pitstop Greeter. Do we have leads as to the order of arrival? Aside from the Indy Drivers, there was another team there in the fries costume, could not make it out clearly who they are.
-
you beat me to it i was going to say that is def indy sneakers. Also the two girls that finished before them does not look like the skiers. one is blonde and the smaller is brunette. Im leaning more towards goat yoga??? thoughts?

yes if you freeze frame the video you can see that but what is throwing me off is I do see a pink sleeve which could mean skiers. but leaning more towards yoga =)

Not really. We didn't actually see them get eliminated. However, they have not been sighted since. They were not visible in Schiphol or at the train to Antwerp. So....
They looked like great fun at the start! So sorry we didn't get to see more.
-

I'm thinking It's 1/2 of the Skiers and 1/2 of the Lifeguards, the female one.

Don't think it's that because they have to be immediately separated after they check in
-
Sorry, my bad for thinking they were the violinists instead!
My instinct was that it was the female lifeguard as well, but would that be possible at a pitstop?
-
Normally they are separated immediately after check in at a pit stop. But now that I am looking at the screen capture it looks as though they could be waiting on line for that cart. Maybe the pit stop was very close. Has happened before. It looks as though they were still filming bc check out the back right corner. There is someone else in costume by a camera. It looks like they have a black hat on?

I think you are right. The outfits match..They have on black and white sneakers on as well which they had in the past

not too sure but thats indy checked in... possibly the debate team... (and black hat contestant) prob checked in a little before or after them im guessing? what do you think

3a has 4 more
The first two are women, one blonde, one dark haired. Skiers?
Male in black cap ?? Violin??

The hair is too dark to be a skier. And the only other colors that match would be the debate team. The person in the back with hat is too short to be violinist compared to the other man

lol why do i just foresee Cody arguing about having to put on the funny looking fry costume and instead quitting the race :funny:
Either that or he will put it on and just be emotionless for the rest of the leg until he gets to take it off <3
-
Do I see Cody in the background looking like Jody may have checked in already?

Might be unlikely. Generally once a team checks in they are whisked away to do their interviews, generally there is no hanging about.
:welcome: to RFF!

Sorry, guys that the friend from near Antwerp wasn't able to make it there this morning after all due to work :(
But I asked about the significance of French fries to Belgium, and he said to never call them that to a Belgian, they're "frites" :lol: It's a rather contentious issue they have with France, which country they originated in.

oh wow thats very interesting to know though. haha is it too early to mark anyone off as safe with the info we have?
-
Antwerp flights are pretty minimal. SO I think we have to think train to somewhere or back to AMS if they want flights.
A nice long train ride to Eastern Europe would be lovely. Prague is on my list!
-
Wouldn't Brussels make sense. I think a train to another destination is most likely. Hopefully Luxembourg.
-
With how much production has been trying to reduce costs, I don't think they would plan a flight to Amsterdam, a train to Antwerp, then a train back to Amsterdam (or Brussels) to fly somewhere else. Seems to much for just 1 leg, especially with 10 teams.
I'm expecting them to stay in Belgium for leg 3, probably in Brussels.
-
:hithere: thebasketmakerswife! :bigwelcome to the R.F.F.!
-
The newest pics seem to be right after the previous ones. It looks like the Indy Drivers have taken of their "Frites" costumes, and that team Goat Yoga has reached the mat. The third team was in the previous pics also, but not identifiable (not much help in the new pics, but maybe someone with a better eye can figure out who they are.
-
I just posted a new pic. It looks like a road block. Can't identify the first person on floor, one twin, possible yoga mom? And cody last
-
Hopefully they catch a train to Brussels and have Leg 3 there, get catch a flight to West Africa from there! :conf: :conf:
-
I reckon if they visit anywhere in Belgium it'll be Bruges.
-
Me too. But I think one leg is enough, time to TRAVEL!

Are they doing task right next to pitstop?
On picture we can see "Start" ("Friet Race"), maybe is the Pitstop end of that course?

Is that bright pink I see on one of the backpacks? Could be the skiers there
It's difficult to tell because it's far away and the task flags are pink as well, but it looks to be a different shade, and it seems like the flags aren't strung across at that point
Feel free to move this to spec, but I felt it easier to reply directly on here, than try and vaguely reference it over there

But do you see the mat? Hasn't he said in interviews before that there are times when he is barely ahead of the teams?

Person on the floor is definitely shorter yoga mom (April), sneaker matches to hers from earlier pic. I also think the other guy in black beanie is not Cody, just other twin waiting for his brother to finish roadblock.

Or it could be really close by...

So what do you imply by that? Do you think Phil was late and therefore stopped at a task location to casually chat with the racers?

I found a news story about the Iceland leg from an Icelandic news site. Unfortunately, they seem to have gotten all of their information from us, so there's not much new. It does mention some locations and I'm not sure we have all of these. Since there's not much new, I put it here rather than in Live Sightings. The sentence with the locations:
On the pictures and videos below, you can see teams running Laugavegur, Hljómskálagarður and drinking cod liver oil with power plants at Ingólfstorg.
Laugavegur is the main commercial street in downtown Reykjavik and also the name of a hiking trail, but I think the first is more likely. Hljómskálagarður is a park with a large pond in Reykjavik and I think it is adjacent to the pit stop location.
Here's the link to the news story: http://www.visir.is/g/2017171009483/amazing-race-aftur-til-islands (http://www.visir.is/g/2017171009483/amazing-race-aftur-til-islands)
Here's a google translation (a poor one) of the Icelandic text:
Amazing Race back to Iceland
Stephen O. Jonsson writes October 5, 2017, 6:45 PM
Taking the Thirty Series of Real-Time Real Estate The Amazing Race has been rejected, and it seems that competitors need to return to Iceland again.
This racing game has been very popular since the first episode was premiered in 2001. 11 double teams travel around the world and solve puzzles in distant countries, the first to succeed in achieving a goal after the trip will receive a lot of money.
In this latest episode, the teams seem to have to bumble up in Iceland if the fans can be considered. They have been diligent to publish images of the team's cravings, which were in Iceland at the beginning of the week.
Below you can see the first clue that the teams received in their hands. There they are told to come to Iceland, more specifically to Geitárgljúfur.
A fan took this picture of the first clue of the contestants.
REALITY FAN FORUM
On the pictures and videos below, you can see teams running Laugavegur, Hljómskálagarður and drinking cod liver oil with power plants at Ingólfstorg.
Contestants in The Amazing Race have previously been sent to Iceland, in particular in the sixth series of events shown at Stage 2 in 2004 to 2005. The fact that Iceland had interfered with the episodes was said to be "one of the biggest country announcements in history." - neither more nor less.
It has not been released when the 37 th episode will be released, but it is expected that it will be at the end of this year or the beginning of 2018.
More photos of the contestants 'adventures can be found at the fans' forum by clicking here.
Below is a photo gallery, you can browse them by clicking the arrows that appear at the edge of the pictures.
The videos and photos are all ones that have been posted here.

Nice! We must have posting at the same time. I just put the link in LIVE as well. I think the video of the lifeguard team answering the 2 questions from the Crossfit Lady to get their clue may be new. Thanks for the translation!
And how nice of them to both credit and link to us. Thank you note sent!

Good eye!

Fries were invented in Belgium and its original name (les frites) is in french, which is why we call em french fries

-
Not necessarily. They could easily be connecting to anywhere in Africa through the major hubs of London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Rome...

What usually happens with the teams that are eliminated?
If Henry and Evan are the only ones spotted at the airport .......idk just a thought
-
Bad weather has postponed/cancelled many flights right now.
Comment from our live sighter:
we definitely saw them at the departures, they were just standing near us, we noticed the backpacks and camera. We then followed them over to the tax free declaration queue which I believe is to get their Vat return, not positive. After that they wandered over to the departure screens and looked at the one I sent you. From there it seemed they had time, they were never rushing, and were just chilling. The blond woman walked off one way and the team went down towards arrivals, maybe just looking for a seat, I'm not sure.
-

Eliminated teams do not generally travel with a camera/sound crew and a story producer. That is usually first or last team.
Unless they have brought back Elimination station? ???
And we don't know what parameters they are working under.... Perhaps others could have chosen Brussels vs AMS.

This also popped into my mind when I saw the pics posted by Peach. If Henry & Evan are the only ones spotted at the airport. For me it could only mean 2 things either they are connecting via AMS to get to the destination of the sequester or connecting to get to another country since Amsterdam has lots of flights. ???
-
but don't you all think it is common sense to assume that if "they" are the only team spotted then they might be in trouble. yall need to STOP acting like you are the only ones who have seen this show. We are all TAR fans. I say The Debaters better grab their life vest.....cause its been punctured. See you NEVER>
FYI...im am here to entertain and see how good these "spoilers" are. so far I am NOT impressed...but i am open to be amazed. ***STANNING TAR SHOW FOR LIFE***
-
The flights that stick out to me are the 2 LHR, Frankfurt, and CDG for good connections onward
OR Bilbao since there were a couple flights there
My issue is that all of the flights on that board seem to be departing around 2 hours from the time on the screen, and yet they're taking their time to get through security and such. Granted 2 hours is a good amount of time, but I alreqdy like to get passed security ASAP as it is, and if I were on the race that would prob be heightened; they're just chilling and taking their time- it just seems really odd
-
We are glad to welcome any TAR fans! Have fun! AfreekNSheets
I agree. Seeing one team alone is always cause for either a lot of joy or a lot of concern. Many a team has run into trouble in Schiphol...remember when Brad and his wife got eliminated due to fog?
But! At least in the past...teams eliminated were not traveling with a camera crew.
-
they are perhaps with a camera crew maybe because they are not eliminated but they are running last which means their travel still has to be documented until they've reached the end of the leg.
why didn't you ask the questions we all want to know...."were they the only ones?" and where were they headed? i came here for the juicy stuff not just not just fluff.
And thanks for welcoming me. the website is very hard to navigate (not-user friendly) but i am a quick learner ;-)

If they are in Amsterdam however that is not a part of the second leg in Brussels - I am a gabrillion percent sure they got on the train to Antwerp Tuesday night so they definitely got there.
-
Looking at the flight details from Schiphol, the flights to LHR and Frankfurt were cancelled, but CDG and Bilbao were not but delayed at least an hour
I would think that since they didn't head to a ticket counter while our friend saw them, I would assume that they weren't on one of the cancelled flights
-
So here's my theory (feel free to debunk it...but don't be RUDE).
There is only one crew spotted because the rest either already left on earlier flight or took different mode of transportation
camera crew are with them because every team are assigned their own (that's how TAR works)
if you are last or eliminated they are with you, whether they are still filming or they aren't needed any longer either.
Lastly, the spoiler never said they were filming it said they were with them.....so that's subject to interpretation.
anyway, we can assume they are last or eliminated.....or just good old SOL.
-
why are ruling out that they could be first? if they are alone couldnt this be the same reason. And if they were taking their time it could be because they had extra time because of that. A story producer also travels with the first team. Eliminated would mean no camera man whether he was filming them or not

Other teams could have taken a different route or several different routes. No reason to automatically assume they were last.
It is my understanding that crews are reassigned teams - I imagine TPTB want more experienced crews to continue if their team is eliminated. In addition, they aren't continually filming 100% of the time.
-
I was talking to someone on the production team while at the start line.
I was asking about production crews and if they switch or what things looked like, and he said they switch the crews that follow the teams each leg to try and limit advantages/disadvantages due to the crew's speed/efficiency
To me it would seem that they wouldn't need a crew any longer if they weren't racing, UNLESS it's for Elimination Station (which could be a *slight* possibility, given the teams on this season)
As I've been researching the flights, the reason why they could've been taking their time a bit is because MANY of the flights were either delayed or out-right cancelled today, potentially giving them several hours to wander around the airport before being even close to needing to check in
I'm leaning more towards that they took a gamble and could be in some trouble right now, but not eliminated yet
-
Maybe the clue instruced teams to fly to wherever and could choose to use either Amsterdam or Brussels airport, unlikely but possible.
-
They appear to be talking to Production and I was under the impression that production cannot talk to them. Is that correct?
-

Apparently they can in certain situations. Scott from 29 said somewhere about how he made comments on recognizing the revisited tasks, but production actually didn't want him calling them "Switchbacks" for some reason.
-
Production is in charge of them and their safety at all times. They definitely talk. Not RACE but general instructions et all.

If the picture of Jody in the AMS airport was indeed posted immediately after the person ran into them, that would put them being there at 6am today
It seems likely that it was them catching a flight out for leg 3 as opposed to arriving a couple days ago for leg 2, since they seemed to be hanging around the airport; someone was able to spot that it was them, go get food and bring it to them- not likely something that could happen if they were trying to catch a train to Antwerp.
If it's accurate, it could give credence to Henry and Evan still being in the race, but also that they seem to be HOURS behind (and in danger of elimination)- unless every other team was stuck at the airport too, just on the other side of security
Sorry but that photo was taken in AMS PRIOR to going to Antwerp...NOT today.
-
If they're that far behind, it could also very well mean too that they quit a task in Antwerp and took a penalty. Which apparently goes: 30 minutes not following the clue, 2 hours ARI, 4 hours Roadblock, 6 hours Detour.
-
Jody in AMS was arrival before train to Antwerp, they were NOT seen today.
Only team seen today was the Debaters and the time was 1224 first pic.
-
Perhaps the other teams flew from Brussels airport or a smaller Dutch one (Maastricht/Rotterdam/Eindhoven)? It's purely guessing for now.

It was not posted immediately. I contacted someone on Twitter who first said her friend just ran into #JODY and told her to try to convince him to post that picture. She responded directly to me yesterday and said I got him to post the pic. And I said "I saw!". So that was before Leg 2. She posted it 20 hours prior than today and he stated he met them the prior night. (Yes we know...it was taken by one of OUR members.)
-
but don't you all think it is common sense to assume that if "they" are the only team spotted then they might be in trouble. yall need to STOP acting like you are the only ones who have seen this show. We are all TAR fans. I say The Debaters better grab their life vest.....cause its been punctured. See you NEVER>
FYI...im am here to entertain and see how good these "spoilers" are. so far I am NOT impressed...but i am open to be amazed. ***STANNING TAR SHOW FOR LIFE***
What do you expect :lol: :lol:
No one here is like actually buying plane tickets to catch up with the racers, we're just all collecting sightings from locals and trying to fill the picture as much as possible.

I'm thinking that might be the detour, with Katrin getting one side and the strongmen getting the other.
-
Well, if we don't see them again we'll know. :(
-
The strongmen were just for show. I relistened to the video I took. Katrin (in pink) asked them two questions:
1. What do us Icelanders call the drink known as black death? --> Brennivin
2. What is "þorskur lifur" --> cod liver oil
After answering correctly and drinking a shot of each, the strongmen then handed teams the clue, which tells them to make their way by foot to the pit stop.

Bilbao is a possible destination.

I'm getting the impression that they went to Africa. Remember last season when they went to Tanzania, it took some time before we found info and coincided when they finally reached Norway.

this twitter user claiming she saw several teams racing today in Flughafen, Frankfurt
-
But Flughafen just means airport in German...there's no city specified, no? *scratches head*
-
Flughafen means airport btw :lol: So the Frankfurt thing is something you made up yourself, ShelbysHat.
Call me skeptical, but for someone to go out of their way to find some random race-related tweet to reply to, and then give such vague details, seems suspicious. The user hasn't tweeted in 3 months beforehand, and seems to be a big BB fan, so I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this news was fake.
-
Does anyone else feel like #Jody might be at an advantage if they have BB fans that are able to find them and offer them some help along the way?
-
Flughafen means airport btw :lol: So the Frankfurt thing is something you made up yourself, ShelbysHat.
yes, 6 years of studying German in school were wasted on me, i don't remember anything, i just assumed based on one of the first google search results
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flughafen
-
That's kind of a relief, actually. Germany is the second most frequented country after France, it would taint this route a little.
-
Maybe Germany was an airport stopover ???
-
Maybe Germany was an airport stopover ???
Probably. Frankfurt's a major European hub.

It's also the district of Frankfurt that holds the airport, hence the name: Frankfurt-Flughafen
The rest seems odd, but that actually does check out in terms of being an actual place on the map- whether teams were there or if this person is a troll remains to be seen
If it is true, I wouldn't be surprised if its some sort of connection onward to somewhere else
It could also bring credence to teams having multiple airport options to travel to- Debate opting for AMS, and Jody opting for FRA
We have seen similar situations in the past (TAR 14 flying into Germany or Italy and taking the train from either into Switzerland), so maybe?
-
Does anyone else feel like #Jody might be at an advantage if they have BB fans that are able to find them and offer them some help along the way?
No, American BB isn't that well known around the world. And they would have to be pretty big brother fans in other parts to even recognize them to know who they are. They didn't last long Jessica was evicted pre jury and Cody the week after. There's bigger names on this cast like the Basketball team and Indy car drivers. If anyone has a leg up it's them imo.
-
What? There are BB superfans who follow MANY franchises worldwide + it began in Europe, not the US. They know who Jody are, trust me. The fact they didn't last long, IMO, actually led to their popularity. At first they were cheered by fans because they were seemingly the only ones playing for themselves & not Paul. After Jessica was evicted Pre-Jury, she campaigned for Cody for America's Favorite Player. They are being shipped hard. (Disclaimer: I am NOT a shipper - I don't care one way or the other, LOL)

this was posted on Twitter according to Google translate it's filapino. im not sure if it's referring to our amazing race I'm gonna try to ask. it translates to amazing race is at the airport
UPDATE: I apologize the tweet was lost in translation! Im new :groan: so I havent figured out how to delete this post, I did report it to the mod though as incorrect info.
:welcome: to RFF! No worries! We appreciate the eyes watching! :waves: --peach
-
^I understand Filipino...the tweet basically says she had an amazing race-like experience at the airport and that they made it...definitely not a TAR sighting...
-
We lost them now :spy:
-
It looks to be a roadblock as the male in front is carrying a red clue.
Jessica (of Jessica and Cody - Big Brother)
Henry (of Henry and Evan - Debaters)
Are the 2 of the 4 I’m able to figure out
The male in front looks to be from the Violinists?? Not positive
The male in back Im pretty sure is with the Twins
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/TANGIER/Tangier%201.jpg)

It’s definitely Henry and Jessica. The other two men in the photo are hard to identify, I’m thinking it’s one of the twins and no idea who the other guy in the photo is. It’s too blurry for me.

Tangier, morocco
. How is this chick finding all this info and pics lol
She's just doing what we do. Those pics were on Instagram & Facebook.

Teams that are confirmed to be still racing on Leg 3 (Tangier, Morocco)
Seen at Roadblock
#Violinists
#MasterDebaters
#Jody
#Twins
we didn’t really see the twins in Iceland, but these other 3 teams were bunched up in Reykjavic as well I’m pretty sure.
Violinists were confirmed 4th Place finish on Leg 1 and #Jody and #MasterDebaters we’re ahead of them
And seeing now as #Masterdebaters seem to be still in it and with other teams around, they either chose to go to Amsterdam to find a way to Tangier , or they were just there before the others
Seen at Task where teams are running to package of fish
#Eaters
#Jody
#Violinists
#Basketball

I thought I saw Indy500 but it was a combo of the Eaters and Violinists I’m pretty sure. They are still missing too

Corrected, thanks for the pics.:conf: Is that all? :spy:
-
Also, the yellow clue In #Basketball teams hand tells us it’s a detour.
So that might explain why the other teams aren’t sighted (aside from the 1 team possibly eliminated in Leg 2). They could be doing the other detour
-

We're the lifeguards seen at the airport? And Indy was seen checking in for leg 2. Is it safe to assume that yoga moms or skiers were possibly eliminated leg 2?
-
Could they have landed in Spain/Gibraltar and then went to Tangier by boat?
Hoping we get to see Gibraltar, I don't remember TAR going there!

Did not come across that info, but will check. I would assume the latter 3 are now at risk. Team Indy did check in at leg 2 as per sighting. No idea on their placement though.

Nope. Not seen does NOT mean not there. It just means we did not see them in this shot at this location.

AMS>TANGIER
No wonder they weren't hurrying! :funny:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/TANGIER/AMS_TANGIER%20Flight.jpg)
Hmm so maybe #Debaters were probably ahead and everyone caught up? or the other teams chose other ways to get there. If they were behind they made up ground because they were seen with other teams in Morocco.
This also explains why amine_kasmi has posted about the amazing race being in Tangier 21 hours ago (could have been setting up the Leg or Phil filming task stuff). However, no media was found until about 9 hours ago (which would be 9am local Tangier time). So whether teams were behind or not there was probably an HoO task or something that got them all bunched up again? So we can assume that this IS Leg 3? And the tasks only begun this morning
-
Production would have come in beforehand, maybe he just referenced Phil or crew, for the 21 hours ago.
With a night arrival they prob did an hours of op too.
Not sure with seeing a team in AMS at noonish that they could have had time to leave Antwerp, get to AMS, AND have another leg before.
SO I would say Leg 3.
-
This was posted 9 hours ago, the pics of the travelocity gnome were posted 7 hours ago with the twins, jody, yale and violin in the lead?
-
Ok:)
And it looks like there was a flight to Tangier out of Brussels as well but a lot later than the Amsterdam one . With all of delays and arriving late to Tangier anyways, I think all teams prob got bunched up at the beginning of Leg 3 anyways.
Much like how they all arrived on the same train for Leg 2
-
I'm leaning towards 2 legs in Morocco, and a visit to Chefchaouen for leg 4
Yeah, Morocco's a good place for 2 legs, could see that. It's not far from Tangier.
I just looked up the place. Holy crap that is a lot of blue!!
-
Location of Roadblock is "The American Legation", as written on a image. That is the first American public property outside the United States, built in 1821. (source: wiki)

===================
I didn't know what you meant until I put "Chefchaouen" in my Google bar and nothing but blue came up!!! That is a LOT of blue!!!
-
Seems like an ideal place for a unique TAR leg, yeah :)
-
Would be really cool if they visited that place - never heard of it but looks stunning!
However, the travel for leg 5 would probably be too difficult then. ???
-
Casablanca would be better choice, lot's of flights from there
-
It would be really cool if the clue said "look for the big blue house" :chute:
-

They would just travel back to Tangier and fly out from there
It seems to have decent connections to major European hubs
-
so we still are not sure if this is leg 3 or 4?
I heard somewhere that the Ring girls and Yoga Moms are eliminated.
So far this leg the Racers, Debaters, Violinists, Twins, Jody and Basketball players have all been spotted.
The only teams not seen are the lifeguard couple, the eaters, and skii girls?
Those 3 (possibly 2 if this is the 4th leg) seem like they would be the weakest teams left so I wonder if they are behind..
-
No . The only teams not seen so far this leg are #skiers #yogamoms #lifeguards #indy500 (although they checked in for leg 2 and were seen ahead of other teams) and #ringgirls (obviously)
If you factor in Pit stop rest periods and getting into Antwerp late at night and Tangier later at night (the racers would get bunched up and do the tasks the next day in the morning)
This is Leg 3
-
Do we think this TAR will be visiting all seaside cities, similar to the island theme of TAR 25?
Is Gibraltar in play? It's right across the Strait.
-
I think we need to look closer at that video, I think there are more teams there. Not seen does not mean eliminated, We have had teams reappear suddenly 5 or 6 legs later.
We are sorta looking through a periscope here, we def don't see everything!
-
No . The only teams not seen so far this leg are #skiers #yogamoms #lifeguards #indy500 (although they checked in for leg 2 and were seen ahead of other teams) and #ringgirls (obviously)
If you factor in Pit stop rest periods and getting into Antwerp late at night and Tangier later at night (the racers would get bunched up and do the tasks the next day in the morning)
This is Leg 3
ok cool.. Is it safe to assume this leg is now over and they are on rest period before leg 4 starts?
-

Well based on the clues seen in racers' hands, we've already had a Roadblock and Detour for this leg, could have been a third ARI task. Quite possibly. It's after 8:00 in Tangier now, it'd be getting dark.
-
I talked with the guy who was in morocco and posted those pics... and according to him they started at the docks and then went to the gnomes. The first 4 teams he saw were the picture with jess, debaters, emts,and violinists.. Also he said he only saw 8 teams which makes me think it was indeed leg 4. And further evidence of this is he has a picture with 8 blue structures which I assumed was significant. (most assumed it was leg 3 just because we had no intel the day prior)
And now that I take a closer look, I think I see the Twins in the first capture. Next to #Basketball and one of the team members is carrying both bags. Idk though there’s so much going on and apt of the people in the pic are production.
I’m wondering if it’s 2 teams per Station. I want to know if this took place before or after the Roadblock w/ gnomes pics we saw.
Other teams (aside from eliminated contestants) could be at the other detour .. or ahead or behind
If I take other seasons in account, there’s a good chance they have to bring the gnomes to Phil at the pit stop. Which would mean the roadblock happened AFTER the teams running to get to the cartons of fish (gnomes aren’t visible)
-
hmmm Im still not sure about how it would be Leg 4.
The Race started on 10/1. The teams landed in Reykjavic, Iceland on 10/2. They finished the leg in the afternoon.
Teams weren't spotted until the afternoon of 10/3 at the Keflavic Airport (after their mandatory rest period). Keep in mind that Phil and production have to be one step ahead of the racers as far as filming and set up goes. Also, the teams are required to have a great chunk of rest time between legs/travel. Sometimes the amount of time they have for rest depends on the itinerary for the next leg/flights and travel accomodations.
Teams arrived in Amsterdam the evening of 10/3 and then headed to the train station to take a late train to Antwerp, Belgium. They arrived really late on 10/3 and due to filming and HoO type stuff (they were heading to a SHOP in Antwerp) the leg wouldnt be until 10/4 in the morning which checks out with the daylight we saw in pictures (teams wearing fry costumes). Assuming the guests checked in during the afternoon on 10/4, they wouldnt leave the pit stop and start the next leg until 10/5 in the morning at least.
This goes along with our sighting of the Debaters at the Amsterdam airport on 10/5. You have to think about travel time to get to the airport from Antwerp and other teams possibly went to other airports to catch flights to Tangier (we know that the Debaters are still bunched with the other teams because we spotted Henry at the roadblock in Tangier with a couple of the other teams). The flight from Amsterdam to Tangier didnt land until late 10/5 meaning once again due to filming and HoO type stuff, the tasks for leg 3 couldnt really be completed until 10/6 which checks out with the pictures we saw of the race on 10/6 (the cartons of fish at the pier/roadblock with gnome)
It's not really possible for there to have been another leg in that time. Correct me if im wrong
If the guy that spotted the teams really didnt see a 9th team, that could mean a number of things. Remember, if we dont physically see a team checking in last place, it's all just speculation. The gentleman who posted the photos didn't mention that the blue structures had anything to do with the task did he?
But the team/s he didn't spot could have done the other detour or been far ahead or far behind or he just didnt recognize them . If he was keeping an eye on the tasks/teams the whole time, he would have posted more pictures. No?

Yes, my thinking is that they had a pit stop either before or once landing in Tangier.... again the key to this is the fact the person present only saw 8 teams and we went a day without knowing where they were so it’s been very possible they had a 3rd leg and were on their 4th yesterday
-
Downtimes can be 6-8 to 24 hours. Usual is about 12.
They may have been able to squeak in another leg somewhere. I'll have to look. Iceland? ??? Dunno. Gibralter could have been fast.
But the blue structures are posted upstream here ^^^ so agree there could only be 8 teams left this leg. Possible, not confirmed.
But inclined to believe this so we need to explore all options!!
Our remaining FF teams have not been seen (skiers, yoga) so there is that. HUGE bummer if we lost all 3 FF teams first.
-
I found some more information about the Tangier leg and a possible additional task from someone who apparently allowed part of the leg to be filmed at her location. There were two messages (translated from Italian):
Today could be the last day of shooting of The Amazing Race Morocco "from our terraces, two staff boys, especially appreciated the Italian cappuccino that I passed from our kitchen terrace. good day at all
and a second message:
And voila :) , thanks to all of you friends, that we are sure you will be in this new adventure <3
Goodbye friends, with great pleasure once again we share with you an event that is being held today in our big house in Tangier, on our terraces will turn an episode of the famous The Amazing Race, the shooting of today will be a competition between athletes who they will launch with ropes from our terraces, which are the tallest, on other homes located in in Medina below us .... for over a month we are involved in this beautiful adventure, the movie troupe has arrived directly from Hollywood, supported by the film directors of our Studios in Ouarzazate located south of Morocco between the Sahara dunes
It sounds like the teams rappelled or climbed down ropes to the Medina, which is the labyrinth of alleyways, both commercial and residential inside the walls of a 15th-century Portuguese fortress.
Here's a picture that was posted that seems to be where the filming took place.
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/TANGIER/Tangier%20Terrace.jpg)
Depending on when this picture was posted, this could be from Leg 4 (?) taking place today?
-
The information I found and that picture was posted just over 24 hours ago, so it had to have been from the leg filmed yesterday. I'll add that to my other post in Live Sightings.
-
Why Tangier is giving two legs? That makes me unfair.
It is supposed only one leg within a population of 950,000 people. I checked in the sightings thread are Jody, #Basketball, #Eaters, #Twins, #YaleDebaters and #Violinists spotted in Tangier.
The only teams hadn't seen in Tangier are #Skiers, #Indy500, #LifeGuards or #YogaMoms (one of them are possibly eliminated in Antwerp).
The information I found and that picture was posted just over 24 hours ago, so it had to have been from the leg filmed yesterday. I\ll add that to my other post in Live Sightings.
As so, Leg 4 hasn't begun yet. So Gibraltar is totally small and unfair to visit there. Leg 4 would be going to start around Saturday late night/Sunday night Tangier time heading to Eastern Europe.
-
Claude I disagree with you.
Bottom line is THIS COULD BE LEG 4 OR LEG 3, we need to figure it out.
Fair doesn't mean a thing. :groan:
SO please do NOT word your spec as fact..we do not know right now.
-
Depending on when this picture was posted, this could be from Leg 4 (?) taking place today?
No. Morning of OCT 5. Tangier time.
-
Calibound summed it up very nicely.
I don't think there was time for another leg between Antwerp and Tangier.
As teams checked in in the afternoon of 10/04 in Belgium, and were then spotted a day later, it technically might have been a KOR, staying in Belgium for another leg. But I'm pretty sure we would've got sightings - the Antwerp leg was really well documented, even making Belgian TV!
The only other option is that maybe there was a leg on 10/05, and so Debaters flew there from Amsterdam. But it was reported they weren't in a rush. And there would be a very small timeframe to travel to Tangier and have tasks taking place on 10/06, even if this was a KOR.
-
The 8 blue things could have been Gnome stands? ???

Exactly. And the flight from Amsterdam to Tangier (that Debaters were waiting for) didnt arrive until after 8pm local time on 10/5. So my thoughts are that the leg had started that afternoon and finished the morning/afternoon of 10/6 in Tangier as the teams would have had to be stopped at some point due to HoO type task. Whether it be rapelling from that house or something else.
-
The 8 blue things could have been Gnome stands? ???
That makes more sense than my initial thoughts. :funny:
I thought they were just added as decoration based off what the poster of the picture said
-
Lets look at some pics again. This is the last frame of the video. NBA is running towards a station, I THINK there is another team there already.

What if the missing leg was split between locations?
In recent years the VAST majority of legs fall into this format: travel-tasks-pit stop
BUT that wasn’t always the case, especially so in the early seasons- some legs went tasks-travel-pit stop, and some even went tasks-travel-pit stop (S1L3- all tasks in Paris, then travel to Marseille for Pit Stop)
Tasks could’ve been started before we saw Henry/Evan at Schiphol, and finished when teams arrived in Tangier that night

Its possible... but then again, the teams would have gotten into Tangier really late. And then you have to take into account the mandatory rest period. Teams were already doing tasks in Tangier early morning 10/6
-
They like to make teams rough it the first night.
Suppose they did the first clue/leg/reststop all out in the Iceland countryside?
Then next leg intown?
Remember we see them getting gas in the AM. They would have had to do a LOT more driving to empty a full tank than just to that one location.
2 legs in Iceland nay be our missing bit...but haven't plotted out times. They could make the rest stop10-12 hours.
First leg is keep them miserable lol.
-
That could explain that earlier leaked clue. It mentioned a glacier outside of town.
-
hmmm but weren't all the teams (minus 1) spotted leaving Keflavic Airport for Amsterdam?
If there were 2 legs in Iceland, that would mean the #RingGirls were the 2nd team to go missing.
-
The clue I posted with additional info was for their first clue. NYC to Iceland. We know they were in airport about 6AM IIRC? so one full leg that day.
-
The teams landed AT Keflavic airport at about 6am local time didnt they?
The started arriving in Reykjavic town center at about 12pm local time..
That seems like enough time to head to the glacier and then do a task and then head to Reykjavic where the pit stop was
-
Cancel that Iceland idea.
Confirmed with source that the intown TAR sighting was OCT 2.
First sighting at the gas station was around 8:10am
Joey Chestnut sighting was around 1:47pm
The video was taken around 12:45ish
So must have been the kind of car rental that doesn't start you with a full tank.
SO one full leg. Waterfall/something else/town/maybe more.

Possible Goat Yoga FF Sighting
Hair seems like a match for April and the shoes are a match. Only thing is I'm not sure of is if that person is a racer.
-
Possible LifeGuard Sighting
Yellow Shirt, Black Backpack, Clue Envelope?
Shoes are a possible match; 90%
-
So we have 6 100% confirmed in Morocco (#TwinMedics, #ProEaters, #Basketball, #Jody, #Violinists, and #Debaters)
Next, we have 2 potential sightings of additional teams (#Lifeguards and #GoatYoga)
If this is indeed leg 4 with only 8 teams, and all findings can be proven accurate- things are not looking good for #Indy500 and #Skiers
HOWEVER, I'm a bit more confident with the possible #Lifeguard ID than the #GoatYoga ID
-
Possible Goat Yoga FF Sighting
Hair seems like a match for April and the shoes are a match. Only thing is I'm not sure of is if that person is a racer.
That's def not goat yoga. Look at the white back of the shoes it's much thicker than hers. Also she has a side shoulder bag on and a different Fanny pack. I don't think this is a racer it looks like a worker who is taking their time

Its eerily freaky how both females have similar leg positioning.

I don't buy this yet so I'm going to put this here.

They're probably just siphoning off every word we say.
Would have been from where someone in the unconfirmed locations thread last night speculated Russia, and then I said how it's too politically sensitive for Americans right now with all the negative media coverage. Therefore unlikely.

Maanca is right.
There are a lot of fans hardcore rooting for certain teams. So they will take anything someone tweets or posts and believe it without waiting for fact/photo evidence
Just now I was on twitter trying to look for clues and apparently #Jody was confirmed to be one of the first 3 teams to reach the pitstop yesterday!! :didimiss:
Now I understand why it’s so important to seperate LIVE sightings from discussion/speculation of spoilers

Exactly, every time I go on social media Jody fans are saying that Cody and Jessica were first to the pit stop even though they have no actual evidence of this. It seems they have been saying this for every leg of the race so far because they want them to be in first place. So yes people have to continuously try to separate the facts of what has happened from fans just simply projecting what they would like to see happen during the race.
I am not sure though because even though they are a Jody fan they do seem to provide some pictures and seem to be big fans of TAR.. I think somebody has a connection to somebody on TAR crew.
Also they didn't say Jody got first every time.. THey said they think Jody got 1st on leg 1, around 4th on leg 2, and were in the top 3 this leg but weren't 100% sure..
They also claim the ring girls, and yoga moms are out and are quite hesitant to release information until they are sure.
I mean I am still very skeptical but I wouldn't brush it off completely.

I’d like to see actual evidence of Jody fans claiming this.... I’ll wait but you can’t find it. Do people claim they won the first leg? Yes but that’s pretty widely accepted. Where’s a claim they won the 2nd (most suspect they got 4th), where’s a claim they won the 3rd or 4th? The only thing said was actually by me, that the guy who took pics of them said those were the first 4 teams he saw at the detour and he saw 8 teams total. Nobody claimed they won, got 2nd 3rd.... nothing other than in the first 4 at this point.
Look i understand some of your tAR purists won’t like BB fans saturating something you love, but if you like your show you should probably welcome the new viewers instead of chastising them. If you look at any social media site the vast majority of Amazing Race talk is from Jody fans, they have one of the largest fan bases of any BB players in a while... maybe be appreciative we are interested and following and stop acting as if we are a burden.
-
If we are going to call some reporting as misleading and others as facts then let’s get it clear. Nothing on this site is fact. It’s all calculated guesses based on sightings and limited information given. That means anyone can come up with a logical explanatio/assumptionsn of the info we have. So stop calling people names and insulting people because they arrive at different conclusion from yours. Let’s be respectful of each other and keep looking for sightings as it gets us all excited.

lol seriously? I think Georgia peach has been working wonders with this site for years and providing accurate information for years without any help from bb fans. Don't sell her short.

We've had BB players before - remember Brenchel? We do welcome new viewers. The reason why Jody are "saturating" SM right now has nothing to do with the fan base for TAR. It's because it's filming and the vast majority of TAR fans do not want to be spoiled - they avoid SM like the plague. The Jody shippers are still on a high from BB19 and that's understandable.

As a Canadian...100% not from this race. That's the Montreal subway entrance sign.
(http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/43608a129480429788dfd9c9ce5a5a77/montreal-subway-entrance-d4nr4g.jpg)
They either got that from Family Edition, or TAR Canada 2, which went to the same place in Montreal
-
That Canada pic was so random I wonder where they found that lol thought they went back for a sec
-
glad it is not in canada that would be uneventful (no offense canadians)..
I wonder when the first non elimination leg is going to be or if the Morocco leg might have been one?
-
Well, if next leg's sightings yield a Speed Bump sign, you'll know :)
-
Where was that picture of Cody taken (in the live sightings)
It doesn't look like Morocco ???

It's old and not from the race. I Believe LA and he has a cellphone in his hand

Nope. That's LA. Looked up the bus, it says "largest clean-air fleet".

Ya that is defenitly a picture from before the race when he and Jessica were walking with her dog in LA lol.

PLEASE MOVE JOEY LOVE/HATE TO JODY DISCUSSION BOARD, THANK YOU
I appreaciate all the new people. It's quite amazing to see so many new users here this season. And I love it! I watched BB19 and Jody were my favorite people, so I'm rooting for them a lot as well.
However, peach even created a new separate thread for all the off-topic discussion about Cody. So please use it!
I acknowledge that many spoilers have come from Jody fans who have possibly not followed TAR before, but there is a way in which this board operates.

No leads after a day of searching.
Have a few thoughts/theories I'll share:
Possible Double Elimination in Leg 2
Possible traveled to unknown destination and had a KOR leg (making us on track with 4 legs)
Possible Leg 2 Elimination and another team withdrew (quit, injury, illness or family emergency) - We would still be in Leg 3 for Tangier.

Is it really possible to have a leg sandwiched between the Antwerp & Tangier leg given the timeframe. Sightings are getting confusing now ??? :groan:
-
Let's look at what's odd or different.
1. The Amsterdam to Antwerp to Amsterdam travel, both ways by train? Then the long wait for the flight to Tangier.
2. Phil being at the Frites task (we speculated Pitstop COULD be nearby)
I tend to agree with Fossil on a possible injury/illness/emergency. Normally that team would be considered the eliminated team. But maybe the incident happened during the mandatory rest/post elimination. Or a team was injured but carried on to avoid elimination, then it was later determined they would drop out.
-
What about a Fast Forward?
Team would bypass all of these tasks, hence not being seen by the eye witness
That could also explain why 8 blue structures were set up, if they were later in the leg- production would be aware that a team completed the FF, and they no longer needed to set the extra structure
That would make it leg 3, which would ease up the timeline
The other options speculated seem... unprecedented
There’s only ever been one other double elim, and that was following a first leg non-elim; it was not a popular twist
The injury theory is plausible, but I rather hope not

It's worth noting that according to Wikipedia, Connor Daly is a type 1 diabetic

And now that I take a closer look, I think I see the Twins in the first capture. Next to #Basketball and one of the team members is carrying both bags. Idk though there’s so much going on and apt of the people in the pic are production.
I’m wondering if it’s 2 teams per Station. I want to know if this took place before or after the Roadblock w/ gnomes pics we saw.
Other teams (aside from eliminated contestants) could be at the other detour .. or ahead or behind
If I take other seasons in account, there’s a good chance they have to bring the gnomes to Phil at the pit stop. Which would mean the roadblock happened AFTER the teams running to get to the cartons of fish (gnomes aren’t visible)
I talked with the guy who was in morocco and posted those pics... and according to him they started at the docks and then went to the gnomes. The first 4 teams he saw were the picture with jess, debaters, emts,and violinists.. Also he said he only saw 8 teams which makes me think it was indeed leg 4. And further evidence of this is he has a picture with 8 blue structures which I assumed was significant. (most assumed it was leg 3 just because we had no intel the day prior)
It is possible there were more than 8 blue structures but only 8 seen in the picture, there is room on the right side IMO.

Welcome G~Ann! Glad you are here!
Yes, that is always posssible. Part of the fun is the unanswered questions,more Detective work to do!

like I said he only saw 8 teams as well.

What if the rappelling from the lady’s terrace was a Fast Forward?
Can we find out from the lady who/what she saw?
Main 3 options for task would be Active Route Info, other half of Detour, or a Fast Forward
-
Sounds to me it was more extensive than one team... Won't that be a gorgeous location??!!
-
I would say Fast Forward is the most plausable option although we don't usually see them this early on with the notable exception of S27.
-
I haven't extensivly seen everything, is there a possibility of there being 10 teams?
-
I haven't extensivly seen everything, is there a possibility of there being 10 teams?
no. What? they're on the 4th or 5th leg and at least 3 teams have been eliminated....
-
I haven't extensivly seen everything, is there a possibility of there being 10 teams?
I was at the starting line. There definitively were 11 teams there. We are 3 or 4 legs in, so...
All hands on deck searching please!
-

no. What? they're on the 4th or 5th leg and at least 3 teams have been eliminated....
No what i meant was, if Tangier was leg 3, The Belgium leg could'v been non elim and the task in Tangier was in groups of 2 and there could've been 2 teams we didn't see.

But the gnome RB sighting was 8 teams with 8 gnome "holders." A FF would account for only 8 teams seen IF they took one of the holders away, but I can't see them doing that??? (edited)

She said they launched with ropes off her terrace so I'm pretty sure that's rappelling which TAR usually has once a season so yes

Im still confused by if its leg three of four and if both are in Morocco

I have been watching from afar and you have jumped down many people's throats on this site. Especially last night. I also find it interesting at the exact time last night it went straight to twitter under #jodysearchparty and user teamjody that people were putting "words in your mouths". This has never gone on on rff before and frankly it isn't right what's happening.

I wasn't being a dick, just suggesting he was overcomplicating things. IDK what you saw on twitter but wasn't me. I was simply providing info here, correcting people and providing other logic... sorry if your feelings were hurt

Okay. Going to say this once more.
Appreciate all the RFF love BUT:
#TAR fun is not an exclusive RFF phenomenon. We like to think we do an outstanding job but we rely on multiple sources. Without the many kind fans sharing on FB and Instagram and Twitter, we would be back in the dark ages of searching photos and blogs weeks later.
RFF has always shared. We teamed with Jokers in the past during BB seasons. We do NOT mind our info being shared.
We DO make every effort to insure that the original poster is credited. Hence the added photo credits to as many pics as possible. Copyright violations are serious business and protecting the rights of the owners of pics is important.
We ONLY ask that those sharing CREDIT us, just as we credit others. And that photos are shared with the correct logos. Removing a logo and Copyrighting a photo that is not yours can result in serious federal legal charges. Lying about sources is also NOT allowed here.
And we make every effort to RESPECT each other here. Personal comments are discouraged...we prefer everyone to keep to the topic.
So let's move on, and GO LOOKING for our teams!! :yess:

Agree, seemed some TAR fans had issue with Jess and Cody fans posting on social media about spoilers.... but they’re also the ones scouring social media to find most of what we’ve seen.

No sense in acting like anyone is better or worse or has super secret sources, we are all just looking for public info others post on social media... we should all share and may the best stalker find it first!

France confirmed...working on uploading a video of a team on some kind of bote and a cluebox!

Those dang Jody fans are at it again.... sighting in Monaco France

They're doing it again...Alen mentioned the Riviera last night. Bam.

So is it Monaco or France? :lol:

These Jody fans are relentless and should Be encouraged to help out more. They don’t give up on their #JodySearchParty it’s getting us really good info. Whether you’re their fan or not, them finding leads help us track TAR30. Good Job TeamJody I applaud your efforts.

Okay so the Riviera actually appears to be true.

The team in the lives looks like TEAM Indy 500.

Yea agreed it looks like Indy in the video. Also basketball players in photo and there is someone with a yellow hat next to him. Could be lifeguard?

I think jess is at the end of the video
-
I dunno if thats her.. I think jess is smaller than her.
-
I think jess is at the end of the video
I don't think so. I've never seen a team sitting at the clue box?
-
This isn't a racer.. it's not a baseball cap. It's a woman wearing a large round hat.
-
I've heard in the past they have people guarding clueboxes to stop passers-by from trying to take one. She could be one of those.

Yes they do. I forgot about that.. and there is also no cameras around too

Definitely. And I doubt if she's just a passerby - they would be scooted away.

Did anyone take a look at the person in the yellow hat next to NBA players. I think that's the same lifeguard hat

I think that is Brittany from the lifeguards and Shawn from the NBA.
We also have Indy 500.
I think the FF teams have been roadkilled. It's not looking too good at this point. :groan:

I think it's the male from lifeguards if you look st the shorts and legs ..which might make sense because we think she did the roadblock in morocco

RyanAir flight 6008 direct from Tangier to Marseille as possible flight?
Left at about 10am from Morocco, landed about 2pm in France
-
I'm pretty sure the pics we are looking are near the pit stop because that's usually the only
Time they use that big overhead camera.. it also looks like the blonde is the greeter and maybe can see the mat if you look very close. Prob explains why the two teams are next to eachother!

Alright so assuming this is Leg 4 or 5,
The only teams not spotted at the Amsterdam Train station at the start of Leg 2 (Ring Girls)
The only teams that havnt been spotted since then are Yoga Moms and Skiers
If there have been no non eiminations so far and the pictures we saw in Morocco WERE Leg 3. That’s the only chance Either the Yoga Moms or Skiers are still in it. It can’t be both because we have spotted 8 of the teams either in Morocco or France
If the pictures we saw in Morocco WERE Leg 4 and the whole 8 teams spotted thing checks out, unless that was a non elimination leg, teams at risk of not making it to France are..

That doesn't make any sense. The 4 teams that were ahead of the others in the gnome race were Jody, Violinists, Debaters and
Twins. Why would they be at risk of not making it to France. The other 3 you mentioned seem more plausible.

Because that was the only task that was seen for a few seconds. We don't even know when that task was but we know it was before a pit stop so anything could have happened
-
Okay, keep showing me. Not convinced that is Brittany.

That's not Brittany I'm talking about the picture I posted with the lifeguard hat being the male lifeguard at the pit stop with nba
-
Okay, keep showing me. Not convinced that is Brittany.
And the girl in the pic is wearing glasses.
-
It’s called process of elimination. If this is Leg 5 and Basketball, Lifeguards and Indy 500 were all spotted in France (no non elimination)
Than one of those other teams must have gotten elimated in Morocco unless it was a NEL
-
Is it the best idea to pick out a team based on a hat? Remember last season they were all sharing around that "Keesh" hat.
-
Okay, keep showing me. Not convinced that is Brittany.

I'm stating lifeguard bc of the pic I posted. Yes I know the glasses is the girl that is a story producer. I'm talking about male lifeguard at the pit stop please look
-

No because that also looks like him and I don't think it's a coincidence he's wearing the hat too. We base off sneakers so what is the difference. There's a better chance basing it off of a hat that resembles him than just sneakers like we do

Doco: This is the Indy sighting?

Doco: This is the Indy sighting?
Yea Georgia. And when you watch the video you can see the blue backpacks and height. Also it's not violinists bc they have the same pants Indy has on in previous legs
-
If you scroll up they have had that hat on or attached to them in every picture and have been in grey pants or shirt. This matches the lifeguard description in my opinion I'm pretty positive it's him. I attached some pics

Thanks!! I FINALLY got it!!

NOT SEEN NEVER MEANS NOT THERE. Season 28 a final 4 team reappeared after SIX legs. Remember what we re seeing is like looking through a pinhole...we see tiny fragments only.

This is nothing. Most memorably in Season 28, we had a team who disappeared past leg 2, and they looked like an early goner. All of a sudden, they pop up again much later in leg 7! It can happen.
You never know in filming unless a sighter specifically overhears Phil say "I'm sorry to tell you you've been eliminated from the race"
-
just because we have seen these 3 teams in france doesn't mean they finished first in france though right? They could be towards the bottom behind some of the other teams.
Also that post is assuming that Morocco was the 4th leg and not the 3rd.. If it was the 3rd it is very likely the last F/F team could have been eliminated in Morocco.. Or Morocco could have been a Non elimination leg for all we know.

The pitstop looks like it's this place (https://goo.gl/maps/7PypK7ESo3J2) off the Place de Lices.
Thank you SO much! :hearts:

The fish was the detour and the gnome was the roadblock the detour is usually before the roadblock
Jody were in the 1st 4 teams at the road block in Morocco
Jody would of had to have a drastic mess up in Morocco to not make it to France jmo
This happens all the time. First to last. It's possible. Any team can go on any leg.
Right. It could have been a UTurn? We also dont know which of those Morocco tasks came first. Lots of things can happen that we dont see.
-
All of this ^^^ is why you don't speculate each leg. It's alway advisable to work backwards from a point of visual confirmation or even the final leg. Like Peach said, we only see a wee bit and there are lots of variables in play! For TAR CAN I do up a working chart. (yeah I'm that extreme LOL)

Another common downfall for teams... taxis/transportation!!
Anything can happen..
In my original post, i was naming the teams that are at a risk of not making it to France. Basically 3 teams have been spotted in France so far, the rest are at risk. Until we have a sighting that confirms them as making it further..

:groan: Jesus Christ, with conclusions like this, we're not gonna get anywhere.

Ya how you place in the previous leg means nothing.. All it takes is one bad leg/mistake or getting uturned and you're out.. Also teams that never win a leg and finish second to last and towards the bottom often have gone on to win the whole thing before.
However, I did hear from someone I trust that Jody did make it past Morroco so I am inclined to believe they at least made it to France.

Just my opinion but those camera guys don't look like the same ones in all the other stuff. Doesn't appear that they could run with the contestants for miles. Just saying. And the photo with the big "boom" for sound above and stuff - I don't think they bring that around the world. This seems like it's for something else.

Well I'm 100 percent positive that's actually dean the audio guy who's been doing this for years. You'd be surprised how inshape they are and yes that camera is brought to every pit stop

They totally can outrun most contestants. They also bring the boom mic everywhere they go. It's part of their travel pack and will pull it out when we can't be on mic (ex: when you are in a bathing suit or skimpy outfit).

In the photo with #basketball and what could be #lifeguards standing next to each other, they’re lined up and facing a blonde woman who appears to be a pit stop greeter
Hard to see, but standing next to her (obscured by cameraman), looks like could (and should) be Phil
He’s wearing a dark top with brown pants, the same as this picture
It also looks like Phil’s dusty blonde hair here

I think the weird lighting is throwing things off in that pic, the trees are blocking the sunlight, but it’s still sneaking through in patches- you can see bright patches on camera crews clothing as well
-
Weird the ones spotted together doing the Gnome challenge in Morroco are no where to be seen in France.
I wonder if Debaters, Violinists, Jody, Twins are all still close together in this race? Maybe they all finished before Basketball players or maybe they were all behind them?
-
Makes me wonder if NBA players were last. Do they usually have time to pose for pictures after check in.

Depends. One of the eyewitnesses in Iceland saw teams doing post-leg interviews not too far from the pit stop, other times they're whisked away to a hotel or other location to do so.

Thank you, I’ve watched the show for years but have never been on this board before. It’s all new to me but exciting to follow.

Okay, I cave. :funny:

Also by looking at today pictures of St. Tropez, I noticed at least 3 dfferent helicopters, so that could be the way they reached city.
-

Usually the eliminated team is kept separated from the others, have their interview and are PDQ heading to sequester. I don't think I have ever seen an eliminated team posing with a fan. My guess is NBA is safe. That pic definitively shows the MAT as well.
And welcome! We are glad you are here.
-
So the destination routes looks like this:
New York City -> Reykjavik -> Antwerp (via Schiphol train from Amsterdam) -> Tangier -> ??? -> St. Tropez?
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure you forgot Kym & Alli on their sightings that they might be gone earlier but you're surprised they made it to Leg 9 in S25. :)
-
Also by looking at today pictures of St. Tropez, I noticed at least 3 dfferent helicopters, so that could be the way they reached city.
It's 840 miles as the crow flies from Tangier to St. Tropez, so that seems too far to be taking helicopters. There was probably not enough time for ferry boats, so airline flights are likely.
If you're talking about getting from Marseille to St. Tropez, it seems like a lot of expense for little purpose. I'd think it would be ideal for self driving with great scenic views. Most likely helicopters were used to get aerial views, especially if they were on yachts doing sailing. Just a guess on my part. I have no evidence they did any sailing.
-
My two cents is that Saint-Tropez is only Leg 4. This race has for all recent seasons run on a 21 day schedule, with a leg being filmed over a course of two days (one for travel, one for running the actual leg). The only time I've seen a difference is when they stay in the country and don't need a whole travel day. Looking at the timeline we have, there doesn't appear to be time a mystery leg would have been thrown in, with them being sighted in a city every other day: Reykjavik (Oct. 2), Antwerp (Oct. 4), Tangier (Oct. 6), Saint-Tropez (Oct. 8). I could be wrong here and they somehow did sneak something in there, but I don't buy it.
-
It would be pretty cool to have them take a ferry from Tangier to Gibraltar ,do a route marker there and then drive from Gibraltar to Saint-Tropez.
It's a 17h hour drive... so maybe if they left yesterday and arrived late last night. That would make France only leg 4 tho...
I think it would give this leg old-school vibes, from when they had super long legs (aka the driving from Portugal to Morocco in season 4)
-
If it is, I wonder when the first 2 leg country is coming. Would rather it not be France...
-
Well, there are limited flights from Tangier to Casablanca per week, as the teams would most likely board a train from Tanger Morora to Casa Voyageurs in Casablanca, then flight to Nice via Paris CDG.
-
FYI, the 12 shows in 21 days that Phil says is actually is BS, it's usually 22-24 days
-
Yup. I really don't see enough time for them to have sneaked a leg in there. Plus the race isn't going too slow, we're only a week in and 4 legs have been finished. The pace will be even faster when we have 2 legs in the same country.

I could see it- it did have a fair amount of flights arriving at CDG from Tangier, and Marseille had A TON of flights from CDG arriving today

New at this so if I'm not posting in the correct spot please help me out. Thanks in advance!
Alright so assuming this is Leg 4 or 5,
The only teams not spotted at the Amsterdam Train station at the start of Leg 2 (Ring Girls)
The only teams that havnt been spotted since then are Yoga Moms and Skiers
If there have been no non eiminations so far and the pictures we saw in Morocco WERE Leg 3. That’s the only chance Either the Yoga Moms or Skiers are still in it. It can’t be both because we have spotted 8 of the teams either in Morocco or France. It would have to Been one or the other.
If the pictures we saw in Morocco WERE Leg 4 and the whole 8 teams spotted doing the roadblock thing checks out (unless that was a non elimination leg) teams at risk of not making it to France are..
Jody
Violinists
Debaters
Eaters
(If there have been no NEL and Morocco was Leg 3.. theres a possibility Skiers OR Yoga Moms could take the spot of one of the 4 teams above)
—�—�—�-
The teams that made it to France are :
Twins
Basketball
Lifeguards
Indy

I think this is the biggest indicator of Saint Tropez being leg 4. I can't find anywhere to logically fit in a whole leg + pitstop, even without any additional flights/travel. Is the ONLY reason we're thinking we're missing a leg the 8 teams in Tangier deal?
-
Ok, haven't seen this posted but I'll share this speculation..
the eaters were eliminated in Tangier.
Thought process....
Ok, Tangier was leg 4. Logically I think they had 2 legs in Tangier. 1 that finished in Tangier after a flight from Amsterdam, and then the next day locally. The gentleman who took pictures and watched said he only saw 8 teams and there were only 8 blue gnome holders so 3 teams had been eliminated.. (ring, yoga and skiers I believe).
He also said that group of 4 (Jody,twins,debaters,violinists) were the first 4 teams, and that they made their way to where he was from the docks where we saw the teams as well. So the pit stop I believe was nearby.
So, how does this factor into the eaters being eliminated?
In France we have seen NBA, lifeguards, and Indy only. 3 of the last 4 teams in Tangier. Leaving out the eaters. So, I think it makes a lot of sense they would've been eliminated in Tangier.
Why haven't we seen the other 4 teams? My thinking is two fold, 1. they may have likely been on an earlier flight than NBA, Indy and lifeguards. 2. NBA team is very noticeable as 6'10 black dudes and so the teams arriving around the same time as them are also seen as well.
Also.. for those questioning timeline... realize we still have 2 likely non elimination legs as well as long flights ahead. I think from France they head to either Australia or Asia which will be long extended flights.

Tomorrow will be a strike day in France. 30% of the flights are cancelled.

You're telling me they ran two legs and had a pitstop in the space of less than 12 hours?
A KOR I would consider but then that would leave us with 9 teams and not 8 on your proposed leg 4.
I'm not gonna even continue with the rest of those wild speculations.

Yes. So, if NOT a missing leg, and there were only 8 gnome holders, then what are we left with? An injury/illness/emergency or a FF in play?

If we're adamant that there's exactly 8 teams left for our spoiled leg in Tangier, then why did we/do we not know exactly who all 8 teams are? Wouldn't one of the first questions to the sighter be to find out who the rest of the teams are? I mean we have a ton of photos from the start for all 11 teams to help him ID who he saw. Why did our team spend a lot of today looking at grainy pics in Saint-Tropez trying to decipher which other teams are still in it if the Tangier sighter that you spoke to knew who was still in?
I don't want you to take this as a personal attack, I just question every bit of info we get. Something with this 8 teams in Tangier is conflicting with our timelines and it isn't sitting right with me.

I just wanna repost this for emphasis in every single page of every single thread.
dangambler, you're not making unsupported speculation, but neither is oval. And with that, we have to look at which reasoning makes more sense.
The information about there only being a 12 hour gap between Amsterdam and Tangier is fact. And it makes it impossible to squeeze 2 legs in there imo.
So there was either a Fast Forward in Tangier, following which a gnome stand was removed, or simply the person who made the claim about only 8 teams/8 gnomes being there was wrong. I sure hope it's not an emergency exit by a team though.
That's my thinking.
-
Sue, dunno can't be sure. But with a FF production would have to assume no one might go for it, or even go for it and later bail for the regular course.
I wonder if we consider someone way behind... then would match with sighter only seeing 8 teams?
Does anyone remember what production did in TAR 11/12/23/other seasons when teams screwed up their flights so bad they couldn't even run the leg? Wonder if they'd just set up for 8 teams and cut the team before they even start a leg... has that ever been a thing? I sense this is heading into wild spec territory too, but it is driving me bonkers because I'm not seeing a logical explanation.

wild speculations? I presented reasoning and logic to backup everything
Here is why they are wild:
The guy saw the 4 teams for literal seconds as they passed by- they may have been at the front at the time, but we DON’T KNOW where they were in their process of completing the Roadblock, or even how well they were doing at it
We also DON’T KNOW the location of the pit stop- could be close by, or in another location/city, which could cause shifts in order placement if some teams were to get lost
Also, we DON’T KNOW whether or not Tangier was an elimination leg or not
We DON’T KNOW with 100% certainty whether Tangier was leg 3 or 4, but many find it unlikely that they were able to squeeze a leg in that short of a window and lean toward leg 3
We have also yet to see the violinists, Jody, or the debaters in France, so we DON’T KNOW if they’re safe or not either
Just because a team was in a good position at one point in a leg, does not mean they did good for the whole rest of it- the only way to know that for certain is to see them check in at the pit stop and to know the order they arrived
We’ve seen things turn terribly for teams between the final task and the pit stop before, so we really can’t assume anything now

well I frankly only cared about where Jess and Cody were in the race and once he said those were the first 4, and they came to where he was from the docks, I didn't follow up to ask about the other 4... but when I saw the pic of the 8 blue things I assumed it was 8 teams, and then he said he saw 8 teams so I took that as confirmation.

Ok, Tangier was leg 4. Logically I think they had 2 legs in Tangier. 1 that finished in Tangier after a flight from Amsterdam, and then the next day locally.
I literally do not see anything to support this. The flight from AMS landed at 8PM (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,33367.msg1207188.html#msg1207188) on 10/05. We have sightings of teams at the fish dock (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,33374.msg1207168.html#msg1207168) in the AM (~7AM) on 10/06. You're telling me they ran two legs and had a pitstop in the space of less than 12 hours?
A KOR I would consider but then that would leave us with 9 teams and not 8 on your proposed leg 4.
I'm not gonna even continue with the rest of those wild speculations.
wild speculations? I presented reasoning and logic to backup everything
Here is why they are wild:
The guy saw the 4 teams for literal seconds as they passed by- they may have been at the front at the time, but we DON’T KNOW where they were in their process of completing the Roadblock, or even how well they were doing at it
We also DON’T KNOW the location of the pit stop- could be close by, or in another location/city, which could cause shifts in order placement if some teams were to get lost
Also, we DON’T KNOW whether or not Tangier was an elimination leg or not
We DON’T KNOW with 100% certainty whether Tangier was leg 3 or 4, but many find it unlikely that they were able to squeeze a leg in that short of a window and lean toward leg 3
We have also yet to see the violinists, Jody, or the debaters in France, so we DON’T KNOW if they’re safe or not either
Just because a team was in a good position at one point in a leg, does not mean they did good for the whole rest of it- the only way to know that for certain is to see them check in at the pit stop and to know the order they arrived
We’ve seen things turn terribly for teams between the final task and the pit stop before, so we really can’t assume anything now
he saw 8 teams.

dangambler, do you still remember the source of the 8 team sighting?
I did a little search and can't find who it originated from, but I think it would be best to try and contact them, asking to identify the teams he saw.
Sue, dunno can't be sure. But with a FF production would have to assume no one might go for it, or even go for it and later bail for the regular course.
I'm thinking about that as well, and it is unlikely for production to take a gnome out even if a team has already won the FF and are on their way to PS. But at the end of the day, I'm not buying the additional secret leg speculation, so therefore am considerng everything else.
Also think about it, we have had sighting in every single country so far. They haven't gone compeltely unnoticed, because so many people are searching for sightings all other the web this year. Why do we suddenly believe in the unknown just based on 1 little piece of information?

some guy on Facebook... I asked him some other questions but he never responded again
-
It is possible there were more than 8 blue structures but only 8 seen in the picture, there is room on the right side IMO.
Also need to consider this from G~Ann earlier today, but i think this whole 8 team in Tangier thing is worth another good look at.
Can someone also link me to where we figured the gnomes were standing on the blue things (PM is fine)? Can't find it anywhere and honestly, I would have thought its a bit dangerous to have the gnomes balancing on those things right on the terrace ledge. Odd.

I don't know if that is what they were... never understood why people assumed that, but he did take a picture of them so I assumed they were significant in some way.
And I think this guy had either his home or business that was in that alley looking down upon where they were based on his description, and to repeat again, he said jody, debaters, violinists, and twins were the first 4 he saw... and he saw 8 total

The blue "holders" are permanent architectural features, and as such, you can bet there are more to the right out of frame of that picture. At this point I doubt they were used at all. The film set up was just that - camera vantage. It does not mean the teams had to go up there. IF the 8 team i correct, then a FF in play???

or just the much easier and logical answer of just being 8 teams....

I wonder if we consider someone way behind... then would match with sighter only seeing 8 teams?
Does anyone remember what production did in TAR 11/12/23/other seasons when teams screwed up their flights so bad they couldn't even run the leg? Wonder if they'd just set up for 8 teams and cut the team before they even start a leg... has that ever been a thing? I sense this is heading into wild spec territory too, but it is driving me bonkers because I'm not seeing a logical explanation.
That was my thinking as well - there would be 9 gnomes available, if only as to NOT tip off other teams or spoilers.
-
I also echo the 9 gnomes thinking.
There's a reason why there are always more clues than needed. They're contingencies and spoiler-proofing.

Ok, haven't seen this posted but I'll share this speculation..
the eaters were eliminated in Tangier.
Thought process....
Ok, Tangier was leg 4. Logically I think they had 2 legs in Tangier. 1 that finished in Tangier after a flight from Amsterdam, and then the next day locally. The gentleman who took pictures and watched said he only saw 8 teams and there were only 8 blue gnome holders so 3 teams had been eliminated.. (ring, yoga and skiers I believe).
He also said that group of 4 (Jody,twins,debaters,violinists) were the first 4 teams, and that they made their way to where he was from the docks where we saw the teams as well. So the pit stop I believe was nearby.
So, how does this factor into the eaters being eliminated?
In France we have seen NBA, lifeguards, and Indy only. 3 of the last 4 teams in Tangier. Leaving out the eaters. So, I think it makes a lot of sense they would've been eliminated in Tangier.
Why haven't we seen the other 4 teams? My thinking is two fold, 1. they may have likely been on an earlier flight than NBA, Indy and lifeguards. 2. NBA team is very noticeable as 6'10 black dudes and so the teams arriving around the same time as them are also seen as well.
Also.. for those questioning timeline... realize we still have 2 likely non elimination legs as well as long flights ahead. I think from France they head to either Australia or Asia which will be long extended flights.

Never said there weren't only 8 teams. I'm sorry if you are feeling annoyed, but this is how we work out problems. Please do not make assumptions. There could be reasons he only saw 8 teams.

What about Marseille airport?
Greater distance but shorter travel time to and from it

wild speculations? I presented reasoning and logic to backup everything
Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, so help me out.
If we're adamant that there's exactly 8 teams left for our spoiled leg in Tangier, then why did we/do we not know exactly who all 8 teams are? Wouldn't one of the first questions to the sighter be to find out who the rest of the teams are? I mean we have a ton of photos from the start for all 11 teams to help him ID who he saw. Why did our team spend a lot of today looking at grainy pics in Saint-Tropez trying to decipher which other teams are still in it if the Tangier sighter that you spoke to knew who was still in?
I don't want you to take this as a personal attack, I just question every bit of info we get. Something with this 8 teams in Tangier is conflicting with our timelines and it isn't sitting right with me.
well I frankly only cared about where Jess and Cody were in the race and once he said those were the first 4, and they came to where he was from the docks, I didn't follow up to ask about the other 4... but when I saw the pic of the 8 blue things I assumed it was 8 teams, and then he said he saw 8 teams so I took that as confirmation.
What you said above is exactly the problem we have here. You made it clear you only care about Jess and cody and not the other teams. Maybe your speculation should be moved to that Jody section because we all are here to collectively find out info of the race and ALL the racers. That's great you guys are passionate about finding your one team but I see the questioning on these people's social media pages about only this one team and we are scaring them off to the point they stop answering all together. Georgia and oval work hard to find the timeline and summary of the race and racers not just the positioning of one team.

Let Georgia and whoever search and ask and find out all they can, Jody fans are doing the same.. It was a Jody fan who found them in France so I wouldn't ostracize them too much... And fwiw the person I asked had no idea who I was searching for, rather by his answer of their positioning and how many teams he saw I got the answers I was seeking.

SO just to confirm Dan,
It is just speculation that these 8 blue things on the top of the building are for the roadblock task?
If this WAS true. There could be 9th one to the right of the picture.
Also, if these were in fact “Gnome Holders”, where are the remaining ones to be picked up for the teams that “havnt arrived yet” according to your poster
We can’t just assume the number of decorations on the top of a building in a picture amount to the amount of teams left in the race.

I never claimed they were gnome holders, only that he took a pic of them so they must be relevant.. and the blue things having only 8 just was confirmation to what he saw with his own eyes, you nor I were there, that there were only 8 teams.

SO just to confirm Dan,
It is just speculation that these 8 blue things on the top of the building are for the roadblock task?
If this WAS true. There could be 9th one to the right of the picture.
Also, if these were in fact “Gnome Holders”, where are the remaining ones to be picked up for the teams that “havnt arrived yet” according to your poster
We can’t just assume the number of decorations on the top of a building in a picture amount to the amount of teams left in the race.

SO wait... you’re saying that a lot of the “spoilers” we have for the Morocco Leg were just speculations you made based off of answers you received from someone who posted pictures of the team running the Leg?
Here’s the issue..
The gentleman only took pictures of the 4 teams we saw. No one has mentioned whether the blue things on top of the building have anything to do with the task or not.
If the gentleman took pictures of the teams doing the roadblock, where are the other photos?
How do we know that the teams came from the task that we saw them doing at the pier? How come we aren’t taking into account that this task could be before the fish detour?
If these teams were really the first 4 teams he saw, why not take pics of the others that came after? (Because there’s a chance that the other teams already came before the ones he pictured)
The genetleman who provided pics wouldn’t have all of this information about what place the teams are in or which task came first as it was a different person who posted stuff at the pier.!
Then you have to take into account the UTurns, transportation and issues with task.
When you post “facts” make sure to back it up with photo evidence
I posted what the guy said because I asked him. you're a wee bit emotional about this eh? I never claimed it to be fact, I said it was speculation and reasonable logic. Im sorry if those two things don't sit well with you
THank you for admitting it. That’s all that we were wanting here. When we get conflicting facts it makes it hard to correctly figure out the race
you have no facts, and I never claimed fact though I at least have an eye witness account to support my reasoning... you're suggesting theres a mythical 9th blue gnome thing that we have no basis of knowing is in existence.

at least let them be somewhat based on something...
For example, based on an eye witness account.... not a blurry image where you can't see anything other than a slightly bald head.

THey aren’t even confirmed to be blue gnome things!! And 8 teams aren’t confirmed!!
If they were, you would have posted this convo in the live sightings thread.
And if the 8 blue holders represented 8 teams as you say it did.. why were the other 4 gnomes already missing.. you told us that the teams pictures were the first teams he saw.
Can you see why this is making it hard to update the timeline if we are given conflicting info.
The half picture of the supposed Twin? He is wearing exactly the same thing as he was in the roadblock in Tangier. I won’t jump down the throats of people who provide solid evidence

Then show us the convo that you had with the eyewitness so we can clear everything up. It will help us seperate the fact from the speculation. Please.
Did you not say that the 8 blue things were gnome holders?
Did you not say that the eyewitness told you the teams were doing the gnome task after the fish task?
Did you not tell us that the eyewitness saw 8 teams only?
Did you not say that the teams pictured were the first 4 teams to get to the task?

I never said you were laughable. I’m trying to find out the race and not just the placements of the teams I favor. I want to know how it plays out entirely. Unless we have 100% accurate info we can’t make correct assumptions.
We have all been assuming a couple of things as fact because you told us the eyewitness told you they were true.
1. The blue things were gnome holders and involved with the task
2. There were only 8 teams
3. The teams came to that task after the Fish task at the pier
4. The teams we saw in the picture got there first
If these are just speculations, then it doesn’t mean they are true. We appreciate all speculation but when we are being told that an eye witness is making these claims then we find out they are just guesses/speculation it just makes everything more complicated.
I’m sorry if you feel like I’m victimizing you

No no sorry not you. I was talking to the other use @dangambler who said that. I agree with everything you are saying.

I’m sorry if anyone feels like they are being personally victimized in this thread. As you can see, we take this very seriously as speculation helps us to figure out what is happening in the race. The only issue is when speculation is confused as being fact and then the rest of us have a hard time figuring out the truth with conflicting statements. Everyone is welcome here.
Photos and Eyewitness claims should be well documented before we claim anything is fact <3

Yes agreed! And it would be nice if we all focused on all of the times instead of just trying to piece together information for just one. It is confusing and setting us back more

What about Marseille airport?
Greater distance but shorter travel time to and from it
David is Marseille Airport an International Airport? If so very plausible.
Yes!
On top of that, plenty of flights to CDG which could open possibilities further (as well as Frankfurt, Munich, London, Amsterdam, Rome, Milan, Barcelona and Madrid)
Most other flights were back to North Africa or additional cities in France, BUT there were a couple direct flights East (several to Istanbul, as well as one to Prague, Athens, and even Tel Aviv

I'm more than happy with people starting their search by looking for Jody sightings- it helps us plot the course really well!
But, to help us get a more well-rounded view of what is happening throughout, let's not stop just with that.
Someone find Jody at an airport, or racing through a town/city? Great! Did that person see other teams too? Could the teams be identified by some of our MANY AMAZING photos of the teams, if they did see others? Could the person explain exactly what they saw/what the teams were doing/where they were going?
Coming to these eyewitnesses with clear and concise questions, and not bombarding them/overwhelming them can often yield wonderful results beyond just the initial sighting
Keep hunting for the teams (including Jody)! Don't get discouraged! Be open to working with others to deciphering the sometimes minimal leads/information we get! And be okay with being wrong sometimes (I know I can be fairly often)!

Regarding the photo attached to your post...
I have definitely seen this pic before, but perhaps only glanced at it, because those tiny stands look really unsafe for the huge Travelocity gnomes. ???
Like, I'd be surprised if production decided to actually store them there, where they can easily fall down, especially if a team accidentally pushed it while picking up. And those things can break easily I assume! :lol:

Right? Nowhere in the caption did the eyewitness say it was for the task. So unless we get proof of the eyewitness saying those blue things were for the gnomes, we can put that down as speculation. And then that would mean that there weren’t 8of them specifically for 8 teams and so on..
-
I think those blue things on top of the roof have nothing to do with the task, they're more of home decorations. To me it looked like some random bird's eye view of houses in Tangier. ???

OKAY GUYS!!!
1) Fabulous conversations...weeding thru the facts is how we work here! And questioning every detail makes for great detecting!!
2) There are to be NO/ZERO/ NO attacks or personal comments to other RFF members. No you are rude/no nothing!! If you are posting "YOU ARE" then stop and reassess that post because YOU are then also in violation of our rules.
3) This is not twitter. RUDENESS is not tolerated. If there is a real problem use report to moderator button and I will handle it.
4) Stop bashing the BB fans. Many of them are here to help/follow/enjoy the TAR Detective work and process and are extremely WELCOME. Only a few BB superfans are using illegal techniques and it is not our job to police that. So make our new members welcome please.
5) READ MY SIG. TAKE IT TO HEART. You will never get in trouble for a friendly articulate detecting post. That's why we are here.But you damn well may be if you are RUDE or DISRESPECTFUL to another member.
RFF's Golden Rule:
Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.
SO be kind to each other. We are ALL #TARFamily now. Families can disagree. But we stand together.
:tu to EVERYONE searching/questioning/detecting/evaluating data. That is what makes this a great site and I value and appreciate you ALL!!
-
Teams are not seen with Gnomes at the Fish task. SO makes perfect sense that that task comes after. Right?
**back to detecting**

What a surprise, the Pro Freestyle Skiers resurface. :conf: They're with the Indy 500 Racers. It is possible that the Goat Yoga Instructors are eliminated in either Belgium or Tangier.

The Skiers are still in it!
Which means there were 9 teams (or 10 if Belgium was NEL) in the Morocco Leg..
Yoga moms were eliminated in Belgium (unless it was a NEL)
This means, if Morocco and Belgium WERENT NEL — Jody, Eaters, Debaters and Violinists are at risk of being eliminated in Leg 3 (Morocco) — if Belgium WAS a NEL then that’s the only way the Yoga Moms are still in it and we could add them to the list of at risk teams
Indy, Twins, Basketball, Skiers, Lifeguards are spotted on Leg 4/5 in France so far
-
I think its leg 3 (Morocco) and leg 4 ( France) now.
Leg 5 is next?

Yes that’s correct.. we assume #RingGirls were last to reach the pitstop Leg 1
We assume #YogaMoms were last to reach the pitstop Leg 2
If Belgium was a NEL though the Yoga Moms could still be racing but would be at risk of not making to to France Leg 4 with the 4 teams mentioned above

Actually we have the twins.

Once we spot either Yoga Moms, Debaters, Jody, Eaters, Violinists .. we will have an easier time figuring out who was eliminated in Leg 3 or whether or not there has been a non-elimination leg

Malvear, here is the twin

So the picture was posted today, but can we find out if those were from today or yesterday?
AKA mid-leg 4 or start of leg 5?

I have asked...so we'll see!

I’m so confused

What are you confused about? We can help explain :)

Help me out guys?

So much going on in St. Tropez over this last weekend:
Saint Tropez rounded off this extraordinary festival of international yachting.

Photo attached looks like anticipated greeting of some kind? But for who?

The photo of the girl bending over forward looks like she is demonstrating a game of #pétanque as she has the form and it appears she is in a circle. Competition?

Just all speculation.
-
It possible for some team not to be seen a couple of legs and be seen in later legs
Like seen on leg 3 and not seen until leg 7
-
cool to see the skiers but it is still entirely possible only the yoga moms and ring girls have been eliminated and all the other teams made it in france if there was a Non elimination leg and Morrocco was only Leg 3..
-
It possible for some team not to be seen a couple of legs and be seen in later legs

Totally. Season 28 Burnie (final 4) not seen for SIX legs!

The picture by jassy_n_n. The guy with the hat is Cody

Now this is how you do it. Put your target in the frame, then pretend you're taking a selfie.(source (http://www.glamamor.com/2014/09/EchoParkLake-HistoricLosAngeles.html)) (I doubt if it was deliberate: there are plenty of tourists in Tropez, and the sandal shop probably isn't in the exclusion zone. Still...nice technique)
-
The picture by jassy_n_n. The guy with the hat is Cody
I think thats indy... not Codys bag or hat
-
The picture by jassy_n_n. The guy with the hat is Cody
That's not cody it's Alex Rossi from Indy and Conor is next to him
-
Yes that is entirely possibly! As some teams do the Fast Forward tasks.. or get left behind or jump ahead due to transportation. Also, if all teams except for 1 or 2 decide to do a different detour that doesn’t have an eye witness taking pictures, they won’t be seen. There are plenty of things that factor into it.
But since there is a team that hasn’t been spot since the beginning of Leg 2 competing on Leg 4 or 5 in france , you have to use process of elimination.
There are 11 teams and 1 goes home each leg unless there is a non-elimination.
So since 9 teams have been spotted since Leg 3, it either means Yoga Moms and Ring Girls are out .. OR there was a NEL in Belgium keeping the Yoga Moms in the running.. OR there wasn’t a NEL until Leg 3 Morocco meaning the 9 teams we spotted in Morocco/France should still be in the running.
If Leg 3 Morocco was an elimination leg though then Jody, Violinists, Debaters, Eaters (or YogaMoms if Belgium NEL) must be at risk as the other 5 teams were spotted in France me therefore made it through Morocco
-
There are 2 guys in the shot. The in the grey cap is Cody and other guy with the black cap is Indy. I have watched a lot of the BB19 and the live feeds and I am pretty sure that the guy in the forefront is Cody.
-
I think we are 99% sure already that it's alex Rossi. That's not codys backpack.. Indy has the orange piece on it. That's also Alex's hairline and hat with his race partner right next to him
-
So all we may know is yoga mom and ring girls got eliminated leg 1 and 2
And we are still unsure who got eliminated leg 3
Correct
-
I think we are 99% sure already that it's alex Rossi. That's not codys backpack.. Indy has the orange piece on it. That's also Alex's hairline and hat with his race partner right next to him
Sorry for Jody but I agree that is not Cody and the two guys both carry green backpacks are from the same team.
-
Not seen doesn't mean eliminated. Look what just happened with the skiers so we don't technically know. I would say most likely ring girls are but yoga moms who knows
-
The guy in the grey cap is Cody. The backpack is the same one Cody has been carrying all along. :conf:
Quoting from LIVE, because that is not the place for these posts.
That is definitely not Cody. Indy racers and skiers.
Refer to this screencap for the same hat Alex Rossi of team Indy was wearing earlier in the same leg.

So all we may know is yoga mom and ring girls got eliminated leg 1 and 2
And we are still unsure who got eliminated leg 3
Correct
Since we saw all of the teams at the Amsterdam train station (except for Ring Girls) at the start of Leg 2 , we can assume they were out first and it’s wasn’t a NEL
Since we have seen every remaining team except for the Yoga Moms in Leg 3 (Morocco) and the Skiers survived til atleast Leg 4 France...
This would mean that the Yoga Moms were out Leg 2 Belgium unless it was a NEL
Now we need to figure out who was eliminated Leg 3 Morocco if it was an elimination leg.. there’s a chance it’s could be the Yoga moms but only if leg 2 was NEL.. otherwise, if there have been no NEL so far.. one of Jody, Debaters, Violinists or Eaters would have had to of gone home on Leg 3 (if it was an elimination leg)
-
I just think it's weird that the 3 teams that haven't been seen were right next to each other in Morrocco in the gnome challenge.. (Violinists, Debate, Jody)..
It is always possible they were ahead of these other teams in France before they were spotted and the pictures started being taken correct?
Really we will probably have to wait until the next leg to hopefully find out some more info on these teams and start putting the puzzle together.

Agree. Also the Violinists had so sort of disadvantage in the Morrocco leg didn't they. Red clue card? Could have slow them down.
-
I agree it’s weird seeing that but you have to take into account other things. Were there more tasks after the gnome task?
How close were those teams from finishing the gnome task?
What position were they in when those pictures were taken? (What teams were ahead and what teams were behind)
Was there a fast forward in play?
Was there a UTUrn in play?
Was it a NEL?
Once the leg ends and the teams head to their next destination , most of the time they get all bunched up again at some point and then it just depends on how well they complete the tasks given to them. Quite often , teams that almost went Home will go on to win the next leg or be at the front of the pack.

I just think it's weird that the 3 teams that haven't been seen were right next to each other in Morrocco in the gnome challenge.. (Violinists, Debate, Jody)..
It is always possible they were ahead of these other teams in France before they were spotted and the pictures started being taken correct?
Really we will probably have to wait until the next leg to hopefully find out some more info on these teams and start putting the puzzle together.
Agree. Also the Violinists had so sort of disadvantage in the Morrocco leg didn't they. Red clue card? Could have slow them down.
The red clue card is a specific task called a “Roadblock” which only one team member may perform. Hence why Cody, Evan, other twin and other violinist aren’t in the picture

That's a roadblock clue. :groan:
Also, there's no logic behind thinking that 4 teams who were together and one point in the race will stay in that group for the duration of the race. They will not.
-
The facts are even though we saw a couple of the teams in france spotted we dont know what place they are in! Jody/Yale/Violenists could have easily gotten a earlier flight than this group we saw spotted! They do that sort of stuff all the time.

If they were the first 3 teams to finish the Morrocco leg than they would be the first 3 teams to at least start the challenge in France.
Nobody said they were bunched together but if they were ahead of the other teams in France than that might be why we haven't seen pictures of them.
-
No, u can't automatically assume first 3 teams to finish one leg will be first 3 teams to start the tasks on the next leg.
-
Just because a team finishes a challenge first on one leg.. doesn’t mean they will get to the challenge first on the next leg..
Transportation and other factors..
We don’t even know that those 3 teams finished the gnome task .. for all we know they are still there trying to figure it out
-
Nobody is assuming anything.. This is all merely speculation which I believe is in the subject title for this thread..
I know the first three teams to finish a leg don't always start first but it doesn't have to be always for a theory to be correct it just had to happen this time and sometimes it does..
As someone else mentioned perhaps they got an earlier flight.. Perhaps they got a later flight and are behind all the other teams.. Who knows.
I was just throwing out a plausable idea.

My money is on the yale jody and violenist they seem very strong and I wouldnt be surprised if they have an alliance helping eachother. :conf:

If this is your first season, it's understandable if you don't know the mechanics of the game yet :)

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean...If I'm typing quickly, I'm going to get right to the point. Speculation begins with an assumption, and that can be dangerous! Sure teams can reach the first task on the next leg IF things go perfect. And I think - particularly in this case, travel between Tangier & Saint-Tropez was messy.

Careful... not all speculation is welcomed in the speculation thread... no matter the logic. Jody, Violinists, and Debaters have consistently been in the front pack, so your theory holds a lot of strong logic behind it. Doesn’t mean it’s fact, just means it’s strongly possible and makes sense
-
Jody, Violinists, and Debaters have consistently been in the front pack
? Proof please?

You and every other TAR newbie are VERY welcome here.
We were all newbies once, myself included. I could not begin to post a link or a picture and the whole team helped me. If they had not taught me research and other detective skills I would not be here today. I will always be grateful to them all.
ALL eyes are welcome. Questions are fine!! That's how we learn. :ghug:

Any speculation on what couple appears in the background of photo of Shawn at airport? this is at the Charles de Gaulle Airport and it appears they are departing—like Shawn Marion—is this before or after St. Tropez? My close up would not attach.
I’m new at this so any tutorial would help.
Lots of time but no experience.

Don’t ever feel like you aren’t welcome here. I’ll be happy to explain some of the clues you might see in the race :)
When teams get their clues at the beginning of the leg, or for completing certain tasks, they will be given yellow clue envelopes that say “Amazing Race” on them.
There are a number of different clues that can be inside.
“Route Info” is a blue colored clue. These are usually the clues that help the teams find their next destination. “Fly to Reykjavic Iceland and go to _____ and look for _____” . Once they get to the location, sometimes they have to complete a task or find someone before getting their next clue. Other times, the clues will be in a box waiting for them to grab.
Jessica with a “Route Info” clue
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/30-Leg%201%20Iceland/Jesscahc4%20BB.jpg)
“Detour” is a yellow colored clue. This is a choice between 2 tasks each with their own pros and cons. So each team chooses one of the 2 tasks to complete. (If there is a UTUrn on the leg and a team has been UTUrned, they will have to complete BOTH detour tasks). An example for this would be something like “Jump or Hike” where the Jump Task is scarier but can take less time to finish. The hike task is something not as scary but could take longer (bungee jumping vs. Hiking down a cliff)
“Roadblock” is a red colored clue. This is a task that only one team member may perform. They get a brief hint/clue about what the task will be and then have to decide which teammate will complete the task before opening the rest of the clue and finding out what they have to do. This one is entertaining because sometimes teams will think it is going To be one thing and ends up being the opposite . (Example, a team member afraid of heights might be tricked into doing the task thinking it has nothing to do with heights when in actual fact it ends up being something that does have to do with heights)
Violinist with a “Road Block” clue
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/TANGIER/Tangier%20%20John%20Davison.jpg)
“Fast Forward” is a green colored clue. This is an OPTIONAL task that is not required that each team has the opportunity of completing only once during the race. It will show up in some of the clue envelopes. Once you complete a fast forward task, that team can go directly to the pitstop for that leg without completing any of the other tasks. Once a team completes the fast forward, they can’t use it again so they must do it wisely when they really need it.

In NY, did Phil mention the Express Pass? Do we know if that is in play this season?
That could be a possible factor..

Welcome!! This pic?
Facebook post of Shawn Marion in the Paris Airport yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1705989989413848&set=a.1200659149946937.1073741828.100000085898685&type=3&theater
The guy in the back is not a racer...may be production though...
Check out our support thread. We do have some instructions there on how to attach a picture...bottom line is it cant be too big.
-

Not that I heard. He also did not say ____ # countries, ___miles which surprised me. But he was not on a mic and had a very hoarse voice, so possible I missed it.
-
Look to the left, there is a reflection of a couple, both with hats & backpacks— they appear to be in the terminal.
-
It looks like the source of that picture posted in Facebook comments (he was asked about if he saw Jody there) and said that the Basketballers were the only team he saw
-
They look like twins to me, but tbh it's really hard to tell from that photo.
-
I don't think it's a team at all.. The guy who took the picture said he only saw NBA
-
I think you are on to something!!
I'll have to go check start line backpacks...but yes, I def think this looks like a possible team.
EMT's ? ???

I zoomed in on the picture and lightened it up. Looks like the twins to me

I think so too. Here are their backbacks from the start: Do I get a hint of green stripe in the pic? ???

that's #Eaters in the background of first photo
Eaters spotted in Saint Tropez..
Which means Jody, Violinists and Debaters (possibly Yoga Moms if Leg 2 was NEL) are at risk for elimination!
Hoping that Leg 3 was a NEL :(
-
Yay!!!! #Eaters sighting! :bunny
-
You newbies are on a ROLL!!
Congrats to ShelbysHat and TravelThe World for TWO awesome finds!!
:hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
-
wow that is a good find.. it does sound like phil was going to say they had a speedbump before it got cut off..
which would mean there was a non elim leg.
-
Wow, great find.
Therefore, the Ring Girls and Goat Yoga must be the first 2 gone because everyone else was spotted in Morocco and France.
-
From that video it sounds like Phil says "let's not forget you had the speed bump" which would make Morocco a NEL
-
I am new here, so my apologies if I'm not posting this in the right spot. I found a video on instagram from the Pit Stop in Saint Tropez yesterday that goes along with the pictures of the basketballers standing on the mat. The video has audio and right at the end Phil makes a comment to them about having a Speed Bump, so I'm thinking there must have been a non-elimination leg in Morocco.
Here is the link (credit to @josyandgeorges on instagram):

WOW! this may be the best kind of find! Thank you, this confirms that there was a NEL and the basketballers came last in the leg prior. :conf:
-
This is awesome!!
So based on our finds..
Leg 1 - ring girls
Leg 2 - yoga moms
Leg 3 - basketball (NEL and speedbump for Leg 4)
Leg 4 - ??? Saint Tropez , France
There couldn't have been an extra leg between Belgium and Morocco because we wouldn't have enough teams (everyone was spotted)
-
Always knew that NBA guys, not Jody, will be saved by NEL.
On a more serious note, great video, but it's infuriating that person used two separate hashtags #amazing #race instead of one.
-
remember the basketball players were spotted near jody in morroco near the fish? (without gnomes) then another sighting was of jody yale and violineist and twins with the gnomes? the basketball players must have gotten stuck on a mission between the fishing area and the gnomes making them in last in that leg.
-

not only that but from the video I think it is also safe to assume the basketball players survived the speed bump and didn't get last in France..
Phil says "And you made it work" makes me think they weren't the last team in France.
-
Yes and Basketball is at the mat with Lifeguards so they are most likely safe too

Does the person who posted the video not know what order they arrived at the pit stop? It seems like they would hear Phil say.
-
Wait is that a camo hat I see blocked by the camera guy? Maybe there is another team near the bball and lifeguards?
(https://i.imgur.com/coPWmJ2.jpg)
-
Maybe lifeguard could have came in last
Yes and Basketball is at the mat with Lifeguards so they are most likely safe too
-
Phil: "Considering. Considering your size, and the fact that ____you somehow managed to made it work in the end. And let's not forget the Speedb___"
Does he say something about a fall?
-
Its possible . Production would have had them wait to reach the pitstop if they were last though so that they could have a 1 on 1 with Phil
-
Yep, close races for last place happen a lot. Them being together doesn't mean anything :)
-
OH ok sorry!
Would have helped us on this leg if we saw hem pick up the mat right after :P
-
If they had to do a speedbump and were last the previous race they could have finished near the bottom of the pack again unless they pulled a cowboys..
who knows the lifegaurds could have been last, but it is good to know there was a NEL...
-
Have there been any sightings of JODY, violinists or debaters. :spy:
-
Is that camera man hat or a camo hat
Wait is that a camo hat I see blocked by the camera guy? Maybe there is another team near the bball and lifeguards?

Nope.. but if France is leg 4 that would mean all 3 of them made it there .. Maybe they were ahead of the basketball players/lifeguards like i earlier speculated.
-
Have there been any sightings of JODY, violinists or debaters. :spy:
Not spotted in france yet. However, because there was a non elimination leg (basketball came last Leg 3). If Saint TropeZ is Leg 4 they would have to still be in it up until the pitstop there atleast
-

thats what I am thinking, I sincerely hope Jody made a pact with them. The Yale group seems very smart. :bunny
Plus the user above made a good point about the basketballers and the yellow team might be at the bottom especially since they had a speedbump in the french leg
-
Too tall to be Cody, maybe? He barely reaches Shawn's shoulder and that hat is back a bit.
-

No, that's not Cody too tall. Cody is only 5'7
-
Heh, I remember seeing that white-haired cameraman pictured in past seasons. He looks like a rather happy guy when you see his face :)
-
I hope so, those 3 teams seem like the strongest in the race. I did like the idea of the 3 of them working together to get further in the game. Alliances has never really appeared in the show, but would be a great angle for the show. I know last season there were several legs that teams worked together to finish the detours. For example to eliminate Vanck and Ashton.
-
Maybe violin guys jody and debaters are ahead that why we have not seen them
-
It looks like a bridge behind them in that photo
With the opening looking like the hat everyone is trying to speculate about
I think it’s just basketball and lifeguards at the mat
-
Maybe violin guys jody and debaters are ahead that why we have not seen them
That's what I was saying.. The basketball players having to do a speedbump makes that theory more likely as they probably wouldn't be one of the first teams to make it at the France pit stop with having to do an extra task..
not impossible but not likely.
-
That would be pretty smart of them to form an alliance, I don't think i've ever seen a 3 team alliance before on AR. They have the smarts and strengths :D
-

I think it is something on the camera the guy with grey hair is holding. It seems to move when he moves.
-
Sounds like Phil said:
“Well considering your size, and the fact you were able to get them down into the boat, and somehow managed to make it work in the end- and let’s not forget you had a speed-“
Likely ended with bump, but not official
I’m sure Peach has already asked if the eyewitness could divulge what place they came in, or if Phil did mention the speed bump or something else
Let’s just wait before we jump to too many conclusions
-
Regarding the lady that took a picture with the bball team on the mat: would production have allowed that while the leg was still going on? Also how long do teams hang around the pit stop after they finish?
Not new to TAR but new to this side of things. :)

In the old days no way. But since the well known youtubers etc season, yes, they have been allowing selfies.
-
After seeing the video above, I would speculate that they made it to the mat last and the Lifeguard? team waiting next to them is last & awaiting their turn? The reference to the speedbump is noted as in despite all this you made it. Or are they both on the mat at the same time?
-
"Considering you made it work at the end" translates to me as they completed the speed bump and made it to the mat in time or caught up with the pack. I think nba and lifeguards are safe at this point.
-
And if that's the case which I think it is kudos to NBA for rocking through a speed bump!
-
I'm thinking the lifeguards are safe as well. Phil wouldn't be patting another team on the back so much that is safe while the eliminated team stands there. Doesn't really happen like that
-
I also see people reporting on twitter that Jody made it to leg 5? Where is that information? Didn't see them in France at all
-

I think it is safe to say the NBA players are safe I wouldn't rule out the Lifeguards being eliminated just yet though..
Phil is always nice so him saying "somehow you made it work and lets not forget you had a speed" might just be him making excuses for them almost getting last again..
somehow made it work could = barely managed to scrape by.
It's impossible to say really, if only the video was 10 seconds longer.
-
The camo hat appears to be in this photo also. http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,33374.msg1207545.html#msg1207545
but it looks like someone in the crowd, and not a racer.
-
Yea you're right that's not cody that's a Grey camo hat. He wouldn't be standing in back of two teams on the mat too
-
Nothing has been spotted from Leg 5 of the race yet..
But yes, fellow Jody fans :ghug: unless there was a leg in between Tangier, Morocco and Saint Tropez, France . They have made it to at least Leg 4 in Saint Tropez.. How the teams did on that leg we won't know yet until we spot teams in leg 5

I think it is just people assuming things with no evidence now that they found out the basketball players had a speedbump and there was a previous Non elimination leg.
I mean yes that would likely mean Jody made it to France but it doesn't necessarly mean they completed France same could be said for Violinists and Debaters who we have not seen..
-
Yes agreed ^
-
I know we can jump to conclusions. But we saw jody violinetnist and yale together in past legs. I know the race can change the order at any moment, but if they all managed to stick with eachother, there is a reason we havent seen all 3 of them at all during this leg. Id say 75% they finished before these other teams were sighted or 25% they fell behind.
the new sighting of the bball players having the speedbump just prooves more that they were probably in the lower half of the teams checking into the pitstop. Teams with speedbumps usually are at the disadvantage
-
I’m pretty sure Phil was commenting on the difficulty they had with the specific task- maybe loading something onto a boat and/or traveling on that boat somewhere? At very least it sounds like something where their height/weight would be at a disadvantage
I think Phil’s comments are more directed at the task than the leg as a whole, then he added the speed bump comment on top of that
I don’t even know if it confirms them actually having difficulty with the task in question, let alone the entire leg
For all we know, they could have crushed the task despite their size disadvantage, and Phil was amazed by that fear enough to comment on it
-
We re not sure if this is leg 4 or 5, I think 4 but we don't know 100%.
But look at it this way.
If the NBA team had a speedbump, they were LAST in the last leg.
So if Jody was not last in the last leg, then they were in France.
Happy news for the fans!

Teams are never bunched together for the majority of he race. Even for a few legs. We saw them for a 5 second photo

!) Unlikely teams would be together over two legs. Doesn't happen.
2) NBA could have been first. The guys in TARCanada went to first despite a speedbump, it happens.

It could go for any of the teams really. Just because we see them checking into the pit stop doesn't mean they are safe. Only team we know for sure that made it to leg 5 is NBA rest is just speculation. For all we know NBA,lifeguards, twins could have been the last three teams and it was a foot run to the pit stop jmo.
-
For all we know , Leg 5 hasn’t started yet.
Someone gets eliminated in Leg 4 (Saint Tropez)
Basketball seems to be the only one we can say is safe and through to Leg 5 for now.
Jody
Indy500
Debaters
Violinists
Twins
Lifeguards
Skiers
Eaters
Have all made it to Leg 4 in Saint Tropez but we don’t know who got eliminated yet.
(Unless there was a leg between Morocco and Saint Tropez.. then that messes it up)
-
I agree^^^^
-
The photo of the Eaters- is it safe to assume they were in proximity of the pit stop, since all other photos from that post were at that location?
If so, why were they standing off to the side from it (almost like lurking in the shadows)?
Did they already check in, and are kinda just hanging out nearby (seems like Basketball hung around the pit stop after they finished)? Are they waiting out a penalty? Waiting to check in?
It doesn’t seem like they’re racing at that point, in their photo
-
Looks like Kristi and Jen in the photo made it to St. Tropez too. I bet it's them. if you look at the shirt's color Kristi used, it's the same from the starting line.
-
I think the one thing that looks relatively much more likely now is that The Yoga Ladies probably went out in Leg 2.

Regarding the lady that took a picture with the bball team on the mat: would production have allowed that while the leg was still going on? Also how long do teams hang around the pit stop after they finish?
Not new to TAR but new to this side of things. :)
They don't hang around at all generally. They are rapidly whisked away to do their post leg interviews...and then to food and wherever they are staying.
-
Peach, why do you still question that this might have been leg 5 rather than 4?
-
Those are the Lifeguards next to the NBA players on the mat. (if you match the backpack to her)
But Skiers did make it to St Tropez according to the earlier photo they were with the Indy drivers.
So Yes you are right kinda.

My French is rusty (non-existent, actually), but I take it the greeter is named Sasha?

Peach, why do you still question that this might have been leg 5 rather than 4?
Since there was a NEL, it is less likely for sure.
But I have to see the exact times to be sure.
Like I said, I think France was Leg 4. But haven't had time to sit and count out the hours...will wait on oval. :funny:
-
Seems a little too tight for another leg. And now that we know there was a Speed Bump that pretty much nulls the idea of a Keep Racing this early on.
-
If St. Tropez is Leg 4, then I think this is elimination. so my suggestion is:
Reykjavik is definitely an elimination leg, since Kayla and Dessie have not seen after Leg 1.
Antwerp could be elimination too. so that's why Yoga moms not seen after sightings in Leg 4.
Tangier might have been non-elimination.

I know we can jump to conclusions. But we saw jody violinetnist and yale together in past legs. I know the race can change the order at any moment, but if they all managed to stick with eachother, there is a reason we havent seen all 3 of them at all during this leg. Id say 75% they finished before these other teams were sighted or 25% they fell behind.
the new sighting of the bball players having the speedbump just prooves more that they were probably in the lower half of the teams checking into the pitstop. Teams with speedbumps usually are at the disadvantage
Teams are never bunched together for the majority of he race. Even for a few legs. We saw them for a 5 second photo
I think bunched together or grouped together is the wrong word here.. Those three teams were seen close together toward the later stages of the last leg of the race in Morroco and we have seen nothing of them in France so it makes sense for people to speculate espically after finding out that Morocco was a non elimination leg where the basketball players got last.
I doubt they are grouped together still but if they were the first 3 teams to get to France and do the tasks and get to the pit stop before people with their cameras started catching on and snapping photos to their instagram than that could be why we haven't seen them.
Or maybe they were the last 3 teams, or maybe it is unrelated and we haven't seen them because there are just no photos of them that people took.
The basketball players are the most likely to be recognized in France so it makes sense we have seen the most of them.
Hopefully the next leg of the race we will get some more photos of all the teams still left in the game, but as for now all we have is speculation based off the info we are given.
-
just catching up but sounds like I was right about the group in the picture in Tangier of Jody. debaters, twins and violinists being the first group was correct and the other teams were behind. Id guess Jody and other teams got an earlier flight to France and probably why we haven't seen them...
if nba was last in Tangier id say the teams around them in France were at risk of likely being eliminated
-
if nba was last in Tangier id say the teams around them in France were at risk of likely being eliminated
That makes no sense. He could just as well be in first place. You CANNOT know from the info we have.
-

ok lets go slow..
1. they were obviously last in Tangier, meaning they'd start behind other teams, possibly a later flight.
2. they had to do a speed bump
3. add the two together and you get the likelihood they were still in the back of the pack.
-
the route destination of TARUS30 looks more like a combination of S6 and S12 because of the continents they've visited. I think that Tangier is only one leg. if there's an extra task, they could've worked it between Tangier and St. Tropez just like Zimbabwe and France in S26. The other African leg must be somewhere after going to Europe twice.
If not, with Morocco to be 2 legs, like Burkina Faso in S12. my speculation is that there's a slight chance that after France there's gonna be a new country right now.

I think the issue you’re running into bud, is the fact you’re wording things as if they are concrete fact
That’s already kinda backfired with the amount of teams in Tangier
We do not know WHEN teams were released for Leg 4, so we don’t know if they got bunched at any airport or even with an HoO when arriving in St. Tropez
It seems that the basketballers were seen at CDG with the medics, so that puts them at least on par with one of the ‘earlier’ teams from that photo in Tangier
We also don’t know how well/poor they or really anyone did at any of the tasks- just that they arrived at roughly the same time as the lifeguards
-
Dan, what you're saying is not out of the realm of possibility, but it does in no way confirm amything.
All of the teams could have been on the same flight to France for all we know.
Some teams might have been delayed if on a different flight.
There is no way to tell what really happened.
-
Yep it is all speculation there is no way to know..
However, The basketball players being last in Morocco and having to do a speed bump here in France means the odds of them being in the second half of the pack are higher than them being towards the top .
-
I agree ^^^^^
-
Here's what we can agree on (based on given info right now):
Ring Girls were knocked out of the race in Leg 1.
Yoga moms didn't stretch out their potential and were most likely eliminated in Leg 2.
NBA hit a non-elimination in Leg 3 (Morocco).
Leg 4 (France) most likely had nine teams racing. 3 ( Debaters, Jody, Violinists) weren't sighted but they should be racing in this leg due to being sighted in Morocco and the leg 3 was a non-elim. Twins, Lifeguards, Eaters and NBA were spotted at the pitstop for this leg. Indy 500 and Skiers were spotted during this leg but not spotted at the pitstop.
Don't overthink guys!

exactly, and I've never claimed anything is fact, rather logical based on what we know
-
where did I say anything is a fact? Ive always said its speculation based on logic and some evidence we do have. Again the NBA team being last in tangier goes to show that the group of 4 in tangier was very likely the first teams to finish that pit stop
-
if nba was last in Tangier id say the teams around them in France were at risk of likely being eliminated

People have come in first place after a speed bump. That really doesn't mean anything. And if could've been where they all had to take a time slot and could only be 5-10 minutes apart. There are so many different scenarios. Would not assume anyone was front or back of the pack

you can assume what you like, id rather make educated guesses based on the relevant info we have. to each their own
So yours is only an educated guess? Mine is based off of what happened in previous seasons. Therefore also a educated guess based on relevant information
-
If you guys want some amazing race trivia. 25 teams have survived elimination after a speed bump and only 17 were eliminated. The odds are in our favor! Go nba!

If you guys want some amazing race trivia. 25 teams have survived elimination after a speed bump and only 17 were eliminated. The odds are in our favor! Go nba!
the NBA team would be out of the race in 9th place losing to professional eaters, two female skiers and 90 pound jessica had they not been saved by production with a non elimination leg so not really sure that is rooting on. They just got lucky the Yoga moms and Ring girls didn't.
However, it does look like they rebounded and were at least able to survive the speedbump and stay out of last place in France.. What place they got remains to be seen.
I do know twice in history a team has gone from last to first but never with this many teams left.
I also did some research and trivia.. and only 11 times has a team in last gone onto the next leg with a speedbump and jumped more than 3 places. 41 times they have not.
Which means there is like an 80% chance based off history that the basketball players were more towards the mid/bottom of the pack.
-
Well, anyway, the next leg should most likely take place tomorrow. See what kind of sightings come out of it and hopefully they help provide us more insight.

Okay, we are done with this discussion. We don't know, YOU don't know, So let's find another avenue to discuss.
-
Please end this discussion right here. Period. It is not suitable for this topic.
Otherwise I SPECULATE that there will be a rapid deletion of some posts...
NEL are preplanned. Not for who comes last, but for which Leg of the race it is.
The Speedbump would already need to be planned in advance for the next leg. I doubt they would spend all that extra money to have a Speedbump set up for each leg of the race just so that they can decide when they are actually going to need to use it so that they can save their favorite team.

I don't believe that sorry and haven't since season 16 where Jeff/Jordan and the Cowboys both got NEL..
or when they saved brendon and rachel from going home 4th on allstars..
Too sketchy for me but again this is for a different thread.

I'm brand new here and I'm SURE I'm doing this wrong, but just wanted to add that I'm having the same issue with Instagram. I get the same error on all hashtags, not just TAR tags. I did report it to them. Hopefully they are aware and working the issue.

OK, thanks Hummingbird! And Welcome to RFF! :waves:
I don't use instagram, just went on to check for sightings, but I'm glad this is not just a TAR-related issue.

Mine instagram works perfectly, even with #amazingrace (but there's nothing new)

She hasn't tweeted anything in the last two weeks except the tweet about being filmed which doesn't give a location. She could be vacationing just about anywhere. Most likely she's in Scotland I think, though I find it odd TAR would go back to the west.
-
That looks like Reykjavik airport.
-
@Plaidmoon
Sorry, I realized later that I was looking at the pictures first, and then made a comment... I saw her post later actually, so I edited earlier post. My bad.
But anyway, I don't think they would make such a route, so I would be really surprised if they're actually in Scotland.

After a bit of research I don't think she is in Scotland - probably Iowa... she has been to Scotland though.
I'm a girl that loves the idea of traveling and living in Scotland. Family is everything to me and repeated laughter.

Scotland seems unlikely?? That would be a very odd route.
Phil was there in May though, I think for one of his NZ/Nat Geo shows.

Yah kinda weird, could be a troll? Or maybe she moved to Scotland? On vacation? Who knows... I searched snap in a few coastal cities in Scotland and didn’t see anything...

Arles Ampitheatre, Arles is a town in the south of France. Our first two leg country?

Arles is pretty close to St Tropez. Probable bus, train or self-drive(!). Could explain lack of sightings.

Phil is probably well ahead of the teams. Possibility also that they have not been released yet.
-
I would bet self drive. It's a great way to scramble the teams and it's super common and convenient to drive in that area. The trains take you out of the way unnecessarily.
-
Dozens of people inundating her twitter feed with demands about Jody probably isn't helping much. :groan:
So we have sightings in France at Paris, St Tropez and then Arles... anyone want to speculation on timeline here based on what we know? Because I thought we saw them in Paris after Tropez but that makes no sense...
Guessing they flew into Paris, then flight or train to tropez... then either Bus train or scar to Arles?
Thoughts?
-
^ Self drive is a possibility although I'm not sure. What is the max distance they've had people drive before?
Also remember the current time in Arles is 11PM so that could have been filmed this morning or even yesterday.
-
Teams were probably forbidden from flying Ryan Air from Tangier to Marseille due to the airline's baggage policy, so teams mostly flew to Marseille via Paris
-
SnapMap shows that today was votive festival in Aigues-Mortes, commune located 50 km from Arles. Maybe leg goes through there or it's just coincidence.
-
It only about a 2.5 hour self drive. But if I remember correctly, the tolls were about $30 the last time I drove it.
-

What an your best on a timeline in France of the sightings we’ve seen in Paris, Tropez and now Arles?
-
Paris was just a flight, not a leg.
St Tropez we know
Arles: Most likely?
Phil filmed that standup yesterday and Leg is today
-
From Xoruz's link (above).
(https://i.imgur.com/TZ9jZ2q.jpg)
So the tolls would be about the same, but driving saves a lot of time. If production needs to delay the teams for some reason, bus all the way is the slowest.
-

Yah no they’re leg... but I thought we saw NBA in Paris after Tropez? You’re thinking they flew from Morocco to Paris then pit stop was St Tropez... then next leg was a possible drive to Arles?
-
^
Yeah, sighting of B-Ball in CDG was from before St. Tropez, but just was found after we started getting sightings in St. Tropez

Why don't you check OUR Timeline? It is up to date and I agree with what is there. :tup:
-
So: I expect that the Arles leg was today, with Phil's standup yesterday (spec).
SO likely the ST Tropez Pitstop could be an extended one. If so...
throwing this out there as a possible reason why:

Hello everyone.
I've been reading here for years, and really appreciate all you guys! There, in long ago TAR days used to be other sites with great spoilers, spec, sightings, and timelines, but now? I have to say you are the best. Thanks!
Now my first post is pure spec, but here goes. I keep coming back to they left Europe, went to Africa (Morocco) which clicks off another continent for them quite easily. But WHY go back to Europe right after that? From south to north in other words? So, many possible reasons including cool travel arrangements or easier travel arrangements, but I would be pretty surprised if they then headed back again?
So, I'm guessing an eastward leg next, and that brings up the old favorite, India, with possibly one more stop in between?
Just a thought, and yes, I realize anything is possible. I hope we get some new sightings soon.
-
Why would they extend St. Tropez if the next leg is just two hours away?
My thinking:
10/8 - leg 4 in St. Tropez
10/9 - leg 5 in Arles
10/10 - extended pit stop for teams; Phil films any extra things for Arles and travels to the next location
10/11 - teams travel somewhere for leg 6
10/12 - leg 6 in somewhere
"somewhere" could easily be Tel Aviv or Jordan <3 or really anywhere; there are flights from MRS to London, Frankfurt and Istanbul tomorrow afternoon which could connect to lots of places.
-
I've always wanted them to visit the Camargue, near Arles! :conf: :conf: :conf:

Welcome Seastars!, and thank you for the kind words!
I agree on another stop. This is the best time of year to go to NEPAL, so I have convinced myself we are finally going there. To do that would almost certainly require a stop in India...Mumbai would work, esp if Cape Town enters the picture. (PURE SPEC)

Phil films his standup before...then races to keep ahead. Generally does not hang around the following day.
The reason for an extended PitStop could be the flight I posted. That particular one is not a DAILY flight. So hold them back to make it work.
Again ...spec. They could equally well head to SO Africa or India...
-
Sorry if I missed this, but do we have confirmation about when the Arles intro was filmed? A specific date or time? I've looked but can't find one.
-
Since we don't know when was that video in Arles is taken, there's MAYBE a possibility that Arles was a 1st part of a leg in France (Marseille airport->Arles->St. Tropez) and, again, MAYBE both cities were included in one leg.
Got ths thinking only because France is overused, and there's no other evidence in Arles.
-
We do not. Prob yesterday or today.
-
I know nothing is concrete. But do we think we’re on Leg 5 or 6?
-
Thanks, it makes sense that it could have been the beginning of the one ending in St. Tropez, rather than more backtracking, but hopefully we will find out soon.
-
General consensus (first two legs pretty much confirmed, others not-so-much):
Leg 1 NYC to Reykjavik, Iceland
Leg 2 Reykjavik to Antwerp, Belgium (via Amsterdam)
Leg 3 Antwerp to Tangier, Morocco
Leg 4 Tangier to St Tropez, France (via CDG, Paris?)
Leg 5 St Tropez to Arles, France
-
I’m just getting caught up.. is there any chance that the Arles Leg could be the same leg as Saint Tropez and we only just found this out?
Aka fly into Marseille —> Arles — > St. Tropez where the pitstop was..
Or is Arles it’s own leg ?
-
The video of Phil didn't show up until today, though we haven't pinned down when it was shot. But there was also a hint that they were headed to Arles after St Tropez.
Hint from @ShenShen333: https://twitter.com/ShenShen333/status/917842327640641537
-
Could the extended pit stop/down-time be to avoid the airport strikes that were happening today?
I know they at very least happened in Nice
How much advanced notice is there prior to one of these strikes?
Like is it something that production could potentially be aware of before the race started, or would be something more of a mid race delay they’d have to adjust for?
Although, I do like Peach’s spec regarding waiting for a particular flight
-
Theres a post on facebook of the people/company that took the aerial shots even as recent as 5 hours ago taking more shots of the inside of the Arena where Phil was standing outside. its safe to assume they are still in Arles, France. And the same company also shot aerial shots from St. Tropez port on Sunday...

they also posted these shots; and the comments/conversations translates to Mar Didier saying he was on a job. it would make sense since i have heard people say on here they do hire local people for some jobs. this is a french company that shoots aerial shots for moveis and tv shows per their website.

Regarding the post above, I think the FB post was saying that production and the racers stayed at a village residence. He is saying they took over the place with over 100 production. I believe this is the place. http://locations.lastminute.com/produit.aspx?lieu_id=366&lihe_id=5389&typp_id=10&utm_medium=meta_search&utm_source=lve&utm_campaign=core_selfcatering&utm_content=summer_hs&utm_term=Grimaud_5389&acntb=selfcatering&date=14/10/2017&duree=7&tag_uci=plve-RKLCCz2zIB8JTfDJ&marque_uci=LVE&org_lve=lve

General consensus (first two legs pretty much confirmed, others not-so-much):
Leg 1 NYC to Reykjavik, Iceland
Leg 2 Reykjavik to Antwerp, Belgium (via Amsterdam)
Leg 3 Antwerp to Tangier, Morocco
Leg 4 Tangier to St Tropez, France (via CDG, Paris?)
Leg 5 St Tropez to Arles, France
There is some discussion that there may be room for another leg before Tangier.
-
Hmm I don’t think that’s possible anymore for the leg before Tangier.. that would mean 2 NEL in a row
We have seen 9 teams since Tangier , so if the Speedbump the Basketballers were getting told about was for that leg; that would make the Tangier Leg NEL

We have only seen 6 teams since Tangier
Jody, Debate, and Violin weren’t seen in France
Nvm- I can't read good :funny:
-
Oh good job AfreekNSheets and Jessietrey!! :hearts:
Really sounds like the drone shots would be for the leg today.
While it would make sense to also use him for leg 8, he may have been there to film the big sailing meet going on instead, can't be sure
Nice find for the crew quarters!!

Yes but they were seen in Morocco, so for there to be another leg BEFORE Morocco there would have had to be another NEL assuming Morocco was a NEL where the basketball players placed last.

I meant during hun.. sorry
We have seen 9 teams all together between Tangier and France.. only teams missing are Ring Girls and Yoga Moms
So I’m saying there couldn’t be a leg between Antwerp and Tangier otherwise there would have had to have been 2 NEL back to back.. (assuming Basketball came last in Tangier and survivor St Tropez Leg)
-
so do we think they already did this leg in france or they are still waiting to start the next leg and have a really long pit stop?
-
Hmmm we may have to rethink when the ARles leg was shot. It could have been yesterday.
The drone guy says he left yesterday! He might have just been hired for background shots, but normally they wuld also do overhead race shots. So I think that means the ARles leg was yesterday.
Marc Didier Déjà reparti !

That just makes so much sense to me, I have a hard time believing that TAR producers would go backwards twice in a row, I know it's possible, but seems so strange to me.
That's the former Club Med I believe, and a nice one.
-
There is a photo of a boat in the evening of 08/10 at Saint-Tropez and Phil mentioned boats while talking to the NBA team, so it must be that the racers were there that day/evening.
The resort, which he had already left by the evening of 09/10 has been identified by jessietrey.
It is in Grimaud, a little village right next to Saint-Tropez. It's not in Arles, which I got the impression you think, Peach.
He added a comment with that photo, saying he arrived late the previous night and woke up to that view. So that night must have been the pit stop.
The photo from Arles was posted during the day of 10/10, which would suggest a different leg.
-
There is also this:

Makes more sense to me, as staying in a country means no need for a travel day and is usually filmed the day after the previous. This is all based on the summaries I've put together over the last few years and shouldn't be taken as fact. But I would suggest:
Leg 01: Reykjavik, Iceland (Oct. 2)
Leg 02: Antwerp, Belgium (Oct. 4)
Leg 03: Tangier, Morocco (Oct. 6)
Leg 04: Saint-Tropez, France (Oct. 8)
Leg 05: Arles, France (Oct. 9)
Leg 06: TBD (Oct. 11)
-
So, they DID film in Arles? ???
-
She hasn't tweeted anything in the last two weeks except the tweet about being filmed which doesn't give a location. She could be vacationing just about anywhere. Most likely she's in Scotland I think, though I find it odd TAR would go back to the west.
After a bit of research I don't think she is in Scotland - probably Iowa... she has been to Scotland though.
I'm a girl that loves the idea of traveling and living in Scotland. Family is everything to me and repeated laughter.
Yah kinda weird, could be a troll? Or maybe she moved to Scotland? On vacation? Who knows... I searched snap in a few coastal cities in Scotland and didn’t see anything...
She's in Europe.

:welcome: to RFF! And thanks for the update. I agree, we can confirm that.
But I think we should move on and leave this young woman alone now. Most of her info is private so RFF is going to respect that. If she makes another public (twitter, etc) post about this >> fair to share.
Thanks so much !
-
Thanks for the video peach and annak!
At least it gives us a flyout point. Are we sure that it is a TAR crew?
-
Video works for me now!
Thanks to annak, but did she report seeing any teams or have any idea where to/when they were leaving?
-
A Jody fan found this, assumed to be in the Uk ( guy lives in Kingsley Uk)

This person seems to take bonk it was from Tangier, sorry you can delete if you want
-
She found, did not take, this video. And I agreed it looks like TAR crew. Have just checked possible flights.
Assuming vid taken approx. 630PM local, departure should be approx. 30 min later.
Destinations sadly only suggest a connection elsewhere, likely Paris or Frankfurt.
-
Paris would be the larger hub, does TAR usually schedule flights back to back or with a layover?
-

Usually it's up to the teams to find flights- although they'll sometimes have pre-booked flights for more obscure destinations
-
I see flights to Madrid, Munich, Rome, and both Paris airports that fit within that timeline
I'll look at each of those airports to see if there's any stand-out flights that fit within our timeline
-
Paris Orly departures are pretty mundane from 8-10pm
-
Usually it's up to the teams to find flights- although they'll sometimes have pre-booked flights for more obscure destinations
What I was asking is how close do they cut the flights? Is it up to the teams discretion? It seems silly for them to book something without at least a 45 min to 1hr gap between flights.
-
Season 4 they did MRS to AMS for a leg in Amsterdam.
For many reasons, I wonder if they had time to visit the Château d'If in Marseille... :escape
-
Assuming Frankfurt:
These are my two favorite options that could fit the time frame:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/possibilities/FRA%20to%20PRA%20possible.jpg)
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/possibilities/FRA%20to%20CPT%20possible.jpg)
-
Assuming CDG these two would be my favorites. Keep in mind many other options available.
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/possibilities/CDG%20to%20TelAviv%20possible.jpg)
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/possibilities/CDG%20to%20JNB%20possible.jpg)
Tel-Aviv or Cape Town or Prague are all very strong possibilities.
-
Some really interesting ones at CDG. Here's an oddball but it might be too remote and not give much options when it comes to flying on from this location.
-
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Delhi and Tokyo are also options.
-

Tel-Aviv or Cape Town or Prague are all very strong possibilities.
I like Tel Aviv via Paris - especially since there was a direct flight from Marseille to Tel Aviv earlier in the day for Phil to get ahead on:
(TLV) Tel Aviv-Yafo El Al 322 11:15 AM
-
Not sure how to screen capture and upload, but Madrid has a flight to Tel-Aviv tonight as well
IB3317/LY8397 departing at 10:05pm
There was a flight to Madrid from Marseille that would fit well with the timeline too
-
I have a reason to think that Tel-Aviv should be high on our list. Just saying...not confirming.
-
Would be a very interesting new country. I guess it wouldn't hurt, seeing as Israel has their own TAR that has visited the US in a past season. If they do, I'd assume the teams are reminded to be respectful.
-
I would LOVE to see Israel in TAR! :conf:
-
British Airways should have lots of Tel Aviv & Cape Town options via Heathrow.
-
Fumicino (Rome) has 2 that fit the timeline to Tel Aviv as well
They had a couple others, too: Amman, Athens, Tirana
But they seem less likely
-
British Airways should have lots of Tel Aviv & Cape Town options via Heathrow.
You are absolutely right, BA has daily flights from Heathrow to Cape Town into the night.
-
After looking close at the video at Marseille Provence Aeroport there is a "coffee" sign with windows above it. It looks like it is the Starbucks from Hall 1 and flight 1089 actual departure was changed to 6:50 pm and arrival 8:07 pm in Frankfort (all kinds of gate and time adjustments to this flight) This flight matches the gates and time of the video too. Just saying. :chute:
Possibly back to Hamburg (coastal city in Germany visited in #16?)
-
Nice find! If teams are going to arrive at Frankfurt around 8:07pm some possible destinations not in Europe could be:
Cape Town (Lufthansa 576 10:15pm -> 10:00am+1)
Johannesburg (Lufthansa 572 10:05pm -> 8:30am +1)
Addis Ababa (Ethiopian 707 10:05pm -> 5:55am +1)
New Delhi (Air India 120 9:15pm - 8:30am +1)
Singapore (Lufthansa 778 9:55pm -> 4:15pm+1, Singapore Airlines 325 10:00pm -> 4:25pm +1)
-
Definitely looks like Starbucks
However, that's on the main floor of Hall 1 (like right next to one of the airport entrances), could really be for any flight leaving from Hall 1 in that timeframe
Based on their location and the timing, I would almost think that they weren't going for the Frankfurt flight- if they were just arriving at the airport, and the flight hadn't been delayed, they would've missed it
It would be more likely that they would've been on the other side of security and trying to make sure they were at the correct gate had they been going for the Frankfurt flight, just based on timing of video/original flight time
Just my :2cents:
-
http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByFlightExtendedDetails.do?id=936417940&airlineCode=LH&flightNumber=1089
Reading the Flight Status that flight delayed take off until 6:50 and landed slightly overtime. If the camera's were there the timing is relevant. I don't think they want the teams lingering at the airport because then we would have possibly more sightings or photos? idk
-
It just seems too tight a window for me, unless they were buying tickets just then and the gate was still open and there was no line for security
-
New to posting! Hope this helps in some way! Our drone guy has posted a new photo of another possible location from around the Arles, France area. His post read "Yesterday morning. Les baux de Provence" Here's the link to the photo:

Thanks so much Hummingbird! Welcome to the Dark Side lol!
That area is close to Marseilles...wonder if it is just for atmosphere or an actual stop? Would make a fun Pit Stop!
-
Just a quick note to everyone at RFF that I’ve had a difficult few months and I hadn’t had any time to help out with a belated deadline now out of the way, health issue under control, and a new schnauzer puppy to raise after Lieb’s unexpected passing in May. (New puppy is Edele, now five months old and happens to be Lieb’s niece.)
Give me a day or two and I will try to catch up with all things RFF and TAR related with the ongoing filming.
-

He did tag the show, so I'm assuming it has some relevance. Looks like the perfect place to hide a clue box.

Too tight how? They could have been sitting there for 2 hours. We don't know.
-
Was that on an airport shuttle? Rome is a major Alitalia/KLM/Delta hub.
-

I don't see why they would do an actual leg there. They were just in Arles, which has a significant ancient Roman connection, including their own colosseum.
Still. Please, please, please let Rome just be a connection city and not a destination. Otherwise, urgh...
-
?? fly all over from Marseille to Rome ??
Someone find the Story please? We need the whole thing and youtubed if possible. Record your screen if you have ios 11
-
No reason to fly all over from Marseille to Rome.

Unfortunately, there are no morning daily flights from Marseille to Rome, only Nice has a morning flights to Rome.
-

Just from where they were- ground floor, pre-security
Based off where the cameraman were standing, and the direction they were filming (in relation to the Starbucks in the background), it looks like the team(s) were at a ticket counter- possibly still buying their tickets?
-
This is the route of the line 200:

:hearts: I LOVE you guys!! Great teamwork, and credit to Jody BB for the find.
Carnage... Chills...Alen great job for the fast work!!
Rome seems starnge, but we'll take it. There was this Vatican rumor.... ???
STart seasrching for sightings in ROME please!
-
Shawn looks like he’s wearing a very small backpack in that video
The one that is essentially a pouch with pull strings as the straps
Seems an odd thing to wear while racing
-
Here's a thought, what if the sequester place is in Rome? Up out of the main city center at a resort?
-
Exceedingly unlikely....but not totally impossible.
Can someone get the ORIGINAL picture please? I have a doggie that Is desperate.... :funny:
-
As the race goes on teams empty their bags leg by leg to start to remove unneeded items. By the last leg some teams have no bag. I wouldn't base it off of that
-
From the post it sounds like their first stop was Piazza Mancini
Not sure what’s out there beyond the Stadio Olimpico?
-
^^^Google maps tells me it's a 37 minute bus ride across the Tiber to Vatican City.
-
If Shawn Marion was seen where's Cedric Ceballos or the camera crew. It's hard to deduce though if this is a leg until we've seen the other teams. ??? I'd agree with Capt. Carnage, Rome could be a sequester place. We've had Tuscany as a sequester place for the Racers in S.29.
-
Where's the Camera Crew in that vid ???

Still waiting but, as of right now, I don't see any sightings on top of the NBA players. Plus, I didn't see a film crew with NBA; could they be sitting down?
-
^^^ I doubt crew would sit down on a crowded bus with their equipment???
-
So...what are the odds that a pro BB player would just happen to be on a bus with Shawn??
I am starting to think this is something taken at another time, without further info
No partner, no camera crew, possible diff pack (I can't see that) and just...would not be alone EVEN if in sequester.
Production has treated us to faux spoilers before. :sab
Keep looking, but my money is increasingly on : DISTRACTION. :tup:

Skiers and Jody were spotted, and that photo near u-turn looks like Debaters. Maybe hotel meant that there are 2 m/f teams? Would make first 4 boots RingGirls, YogaMoms, Lifeguards and NBA (if sequester is actually in Italy).
Although it's weird because in video from Saint-Tropez both Lifeguards and NBA were on the mat at pitstop.

Yes but the lifeguards could have been last, basketball players second to last and then they got eliminated the last leg we have no info on.

they said they saw all the teams and jody was first with skiers behind, and they only saw 2 m/f so yes I think its likely lifeguards eliminated... not weird tho because if NBA was eliminated and running back of the pack, and we saw them around lifeguards they likely were too.
If you all remember in St Tropez I said the man who spotted them said Jody, Violinists, Twins and debaters were the first teams he saw so id speculated thats likely why we hadn't seen them in France and only seeing that teams running in the back of the pack.
-
yea def agreeing with you here about the lifeguards ^^^^

Although it's weird because in video from Saint-Tropez both Lifeguards and NBA were on the mat at pitstop.
WHy is that weird? That MAT pic does NOT show order. For all we know NBA could have been #1 in that pic.

Lifeguards would need to be last in Saint-Tropez for both them and NBA to be out by Leg 6. And Phil was so congratulatory of Basketball team in front of lifeguards: "Good job, you made that work, even with speed bump, amazing". Didn't expect him to turn to Lifeguards and say "oh, btw, you are last team to arrive, sorry, you are eliminated". Just my opinion.

why not? I am sure he was super nice to the lifeguards too (if they got last)..

no we are thinking NBA got eliminated there and since the lifeguards were almost last place they were eliminated in Arles... Its just speculation because they only seen 2 m/f teams and they were most likely 2nd to last
-
What if BBall was eliminated in St. Tropez?
Phil could’ve been talking to them about all the difficulties they had, which led to their elimination
But again, they could be anywhere in placing
Does anyone know if production arranges teams on the mat in any particular order based on placement, when multiple teams arrive at the aame time- i.e. right-left first-to-last, or left-right first-to-last?
-
usually only the last leg is in order.. ive seen various orders of other legs doesnt matter left or right =)
-
Oh, NBA being last in Saint-Tropez would actually make sense to me. Also would explain them later hanging around pitstop and taking pics with locals.
-
some more info**
Jody arrived to hotel first to complete task and was almost 4 hours ahead of the last team
we are trying to find out order and who was last now.
-
Wonder if this is going to be a keep on racing leg

That is referring to this current leg dan correct?
Ya it would be good to know who was the last place team and how many teams are left.

Either way we aren't going to really know because the double u turn is going to throw everything off
-
There are seven clues in cluebox, so pretty sure it's 7 teams remaining.
-
Based on the sightings, I'm thinking
Leg 1 Ring Girls were knocked out.
Leg 2 Yoga moms didn't stretch out their potential and were eliminated.
Leg 3 NBA was saved.
Leg 4 Lifeguards sunk to the bottom of the competition and were eliminated or NBA were eliminated (I'm thinking the former.)
Leg 5 NBA were eliminated or Lifeguards sunk to the bottom of the competition and were eliminated.
Leg 6 Currently - 7 teams left and U-turn also!
We did have an Italy sighting of Shawn from NBA.

yea, unfortunately they couldn't remember which team was last only the time difference ... still trying.
btw with 7 teams I think our teams still running are
jody
skier
(were first 2 to the hotel)
violinists
debaters
twins
(seen in Prague)
eaters
indy
(don't think we've seen a pic but if only 2 m/f teams left and NBA eliminated, these make most sense)

Yes it’s the current leg. Jody are the first team to arrive to the clue at the hotel and are 4 hours ahead of whatever team is in last

Is anyone looking close at that U-turn photos? The photo on the right is small but looks like possibly Jess and Cody. Trying to see how many photos are on the ground but one frame looks empty like one team has already been there and took there photo or how does that work?
The photo with the skiers near the u-turn might indicate they A. don't see the U-turn yet, or B. are one of the first teams to get there.

Loooove the idea of Czech Republic being visited. Such an interesting country that has been shunned by TAR.
The place of the iconic Franz Roadblock. <3
.... but isn't this a bit much of Europe for 1 season..?

I think that's the debaters. Not Jess and Cody.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZC0idCgSSN/?hl=en&taken-by=evan.lynyak
yes, i am 95% confident that's Debaters
-
Those pictures are on the ground and haven't been used yet. You can't determine who has been u-turned from that. Every team will have a picture in that pile.
Update: Now that we have a few more pictures we can see that the Violinists were U-turned by Jody. Doesn't look like a blind U-turn after all. That makes sense since they were seen together earlier and must have been neck and neck.
-
Have we located exactly where these pictures were taken in Prague? I've looked around and I can't find a building that is similar.
-
ya Don't think jess or cody got uturned.. There is a picture of them at the uturn with no pictures up yet..
They very well could have been the first team to make it to the uturn..
-
jess and cody u turned the violinists take a look at the pics just up.. should be very interesting if the violinists arent far behind
-
From the pics in Live Sightings we have:
Jody
Violin
Twins
Lifeguards
Skiers
Debaters
Not seen yet:
Basketball, Indy, Eaters
-
Looks like Jody was first to uturn then skiers
-
jess and cody u turned the violinists take a look at the pics just up.. should be very interesting if the violinists arent far behind
Ballsy move.. I kind of respect it.
-
There are seven clues in cluebox, so pretty sure it's 7 teams remaining.
Suppose another team already came through? ???
-
Looks like Jody was first to uturn then skiers
Is there a pic of skiers U-Turning?
-
Looks like Jody was first to uturn then skiers
That lines up with the info the person at the hotel game that Jody was first and Skiers were next.
-
jess and cody u turned the violinists take a look at the pics just up.. should be very interesting if the violinists arent far behind
Ballsy move.. I kind of respect it.
not really.. it doesnt look like the violinists were with the pack so they are prob a little behind. if they were in first already i dont know why they would. they should let the rest battle it out with no blood on their hands... we know how u turns work and theres a good chance someone stays or its keep on racing. now they will have a bigger target
-
no we are thinking NBA got eliminated there and since the lifeguards were almost last place they were eliminated in Arles... Its just speculation because they only seen 2 m/f teams and they were most likely 2nd to last
Lifeguards are seen, right?
-
:conf: Jess and Cody appear to be in the lead and they U-turned Violinsist. The Twins, Debaters, Skiers, and lifeguards are are all not far behind as they are seen together in that pic. If the hotel only saw 2 M/F teams this doesn't make sense. Makes me think the Skiers went past the U-turn and Jody found it first after viewing photos.
-
Wonder if this is going to be a keep on racing leg

Unlikely with the U-Turn

It looks like the Rudolfinum (https://goo.gl/maps/4jjmPwyzFbE2).

That is why the move is ballsy.. They are trying to take a strong team out early and not worried about not getting blood on their hands :groan:
But I would always uturn somebody just for the simple fact that if something crazy happened between the uturn and the pitstop and I ended up getting lost and coming in last I would never forgive myself if I had a chance to slow a team down and didn't take it.
-
The lifeguards are seen in the pictures of everybody at the UTurn...
So it seems that 2 (or maybe just 1) of the following have been eliminated:
-Basketball
- Eaters
-Indy racers
-

ballsy? maybe .. smartest? not really... prob would not use it if i was in first place with a team 4 hours behind

being that they have seemingly been running at the front of the pack, they're already targets.. and they're taking a shot at arguably the strongest team in the race. its a risk but still smart
-
we will see.
-
they were the front of the pack majority of the race? we couldnt even locate the teams? And i wouldnt judge a team just yet and say they are the strongest by some pictures
yes from the best of what we know the won the 1st leg, in top 4 of 2nd leg, and in top group in leg 3, and not seen with bottom group in France... and violinists have been running towards front too from what we know
-
we have seen photos of Eaters and NBA teams seemingly without camera crew on bus and sitting by the side watching. Possible both those teams are out?
we saw 7 clues so we are down to 7 teams in Prague today.
:didimiss:
-
where were the eaters not without a crew?
-
Last photo of eaters they were seen watching by the side and it was questioned why they would just be by the side-- I will go back and relocate that photo
-
Skiers are still in
https://twitter.com/teamjessica15/status/918545688123858944
So far we have Debaters, Jody, Violinist, Twins, Skiers
-
This would explain why Eaters look to be at the side here, and NBA stayed around to take photos and spotted in Rome?

Since it was a Double U Turn, two teams can U Turn another team, correct? Any indication a second U Turn was used? Also, could two teams U Turn the same team at this time? Thanks!
-

yes two teams can be uturned but it has to be by 2 different teams and only works if the team is currently behind you..
And no you can't uturnt he same team.. Every other team will see the violinist picture already up there and know they can uturn them again.

Thank you so much. I'm learning on the fly so I'll try not to ask too many more stupid questions!

All four teams are pictured in front of the U-turn but it's the Skiers who get to U-turn a team. Later photo shows skiers running up to the Mat. We know they are safe this round. :escape
-
Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it
-

Was Jody after the pack at the u turn? I'm confused because the board was blank when everyone was there and then they used it?

Where does it show the skiers u turning??? I only see Jess n Cody using it
-
Are the skiers and jody working together?
-
Was Jody after the pack at the u turn? I'm confused because the board was blank when everyone was there and then they used it?
I don’t think so the hotel said Jody and the skiers were the first two teams to the clue and that they were four hours ahead of the last place team

Right but when the skiers are showing up there is no one on the board. When everyone is there they are also with the skiers. Then the board was used by Jody. It would make more sense if they used it not being in first place too

This makes it seem that Jody/Violinists are at the back of the pack.
-
In the picture with all the teams, you can see they are all at the U-turn but the attention is on the Skiers-- I'm speculating that they reached it first and they have the possibility of U-turning a team, but we don't see if they do or if any of the other teams choose to-- I believe Jody was already there.
I think the Skiers missed the U-turn in the first photo sighting because they are later seen at the U-turn with 3 other teams.
-
The board is still blank when the skiers are there
-

I see that one but what is this picture of other other teams being with skiers at the blank board I cannot find it.

No.we don't know how they placed at the Mat.
-
I'm taking a guess in my opinion and hope the skiers won this leg. They look very happy running to Phil! Fingers crossed
-
Where is the picture of other teams at a blank uturn board? The only team I see at the blank board is Skiers and Jody..
-
Guys, please be careful with your speculation here? LOTS of inaccurate statements!
If you don't understand how Uturns work, please ask.
Uturning someone never guarantees that you are safe. You could get lost, have a flat, screw up your task, ...a thousand things.
-
Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it
Not necessarily true. Used to only be one, Season 29 was not limited.
-

Because everyone is with the skiers in another shot.
-

All the pics are up in live now.
-
look at these two photos-- the skiers missed it the first time. Then Jody came. In the second photo the skiers look to be facing the camera's and talking indicating they are choosing to name or not name a team at this U-turn. All the other teams look nervous to me.
-
People jumped to conclusion that Jody and Skiers were in the front because of the info that there were only two teams with females left and they were ahead of the pack. Now we know it's not true, Lifeguards and Debaters are still in it as well. From the available photos i don't see any proof that Jody are in front.
I think, most plausible scenario:
- Skiers show up to U-Turn first, freeze not sure what to do
- Debaters, Lifeguards, Twins catch up to them, all of them together decide not to use it
- Jody show up later, realize they are in the back of the pack and use U-Turn on Violinists to be safe
-
Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it

That's what I think as well. I don't think Jody swooped in that fast while the skiers were right there and hen everyone else showed up

I don’t think so the hotel said Jody and the skiers were the first two teams to the clue and that they were four hours ahead of the last place team
If that was the first clue the leg usually is 4+ hours. If Jody was 4 hours ahead of everyone they could have crawled thru this leg and won, so may not be accurate.
Also remember that ANYTHING can happen in 4 hours. WHat the order is at the start of a leg in no way reflects what the order will be at the end.
-
There is a picture of Jess and Cody on the other side of the hedge from the U-Turn, and no pictures are up yet. This makes me think that at least one leg of the detour was at this location, and maybe Jody hasn't completed it yet.
In another picture it does look like the skiers are at the U-Turn with a bunch of teams looking on, but we can't see the actual picture area. I would surmise that this happened after Jody U-Turned the violinists.

This is plausible too but I have seen teams go right by clues and U-turns too. The girls seem like they fly right by it??
-
Just playing devils advocate, whoever took the pic that close to the upturn board could have been a troll after the leg was over and put those pics up

Every season you could use only one u-turn, blind or not, but in S29 you can use as many as you want as shown by Tara & Joey
Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it
Not necessarily true. Used to only be one, Season 29 was not limited.

They let a stranger with a camera get that close up to the board to take the pic so it's not impossible, other thing I was thinking was maybe prod was getting shots to explain the uturn like they usually do

I'm not very tech literate but there are ways to see location and time on photos-- do we have any time stamps on these photos?

nope all we know is the teams we have not seen in this leg are NBA, Eaters, Race Car Drivers..

This seems to detail the tasks, sorry if it was already posted, my computer is blocking some photos.
That Kafka task could be challenging. (I had to save the photo and enlarge it there to read it.) The article link didn't load for me.
That was a previous season. 🙄
Yikes. Sorry, and thank you!

You mean they may have been decoy racers, since they are so widely recognized? That was my thought too. If you mean a completely fake tweet/photo by production and NBA is really in Prague? Wow.

I see the skiers getting clue card with the other teams and then see them all at the U-turn. Yet they are seen by smiles90 running alone down that path and running to Phil & mat (alone?) no photos of other teams here. Photos of Jody and Violinist around the same street (same photographer) so we can deduce same time-frame. Yet Jody gets to U-turn and uses it to turn Violinist because they are a threat to them.
We can assume if photos are taken is a same batch by the same photographer that it's probable that the timing is close too?
-
So all we know is the skiers got first? Right
How do we know they are first?
-
People jumped to conclusion that Jody and Skiers were in the front because of the info that there were only two teams with females left and they were ahead of the pack. Now we know it's not true, Lifeguards and Debaters are still in it as well. From the available photos i don't see any proof that Jody are in front.
I think, most plausible scenario:
- Skiers show up to U-Turn first, freeze not sure what to do
- Debaters, Lifeguards, Twins catch up to them, all of them together decide not to use it
- Jody show up later, realize they are in the back of the pack and use U-Turn on Violinists to be safe
That's what I think as well. I don't think Jody swooped in that fast while the skiers were right there and hen everyone else showed up
Fact is, the information from the hotel that Jody were in front of the others by 4 hours doesn't make sense.
Maybe they meant that the were 4 hours in front of the last team. That MIGHT be right.
It's pretty based on photos that all of Skiers/Lifeguards/Debaters/Twins were close together, and Jody must have been behind Skiers, with violinists likely behind.
Just playing devils advocate, whoever took the pic that close to the upturn board could have been a troll after the leg was over and put those pics up
What do you mean?

What does this have to do with production? They were photos taken by a local, not production.

No, we don't know that.

Nba team was spotted in Rome at 1330 today according to Dm from guy who saw them.
-
^ Must be sequester, I think.
Wonder if this is going to be a keep on racing leg
no idea but damn they need to leave Europe already sheesh
Unlikely with the U-Turn
Why? I don't get it.

Doesn't work that way. Production is always right there. Trust me, I've been there/done that.

I mean, the user said production wouldn't let people touch the uturn board, then why would they let strangers go up and take pics of it? Someone could have easily just grabbed the pics quick and put hem in the board and snapped a pic

Yes they said Jody and skiers got to hotel first and were 4 hrs ahead of last place team.
-
The lady who said Jody were 4 hours ahead was at the pitstop, not the u-turn station.
-
Well for Jody sake I hope he voilenits got phileminated :conf:
It must have been a race between Jody and the skiers to he pit stop and the skiers go there first
-
The lady who said Jody were 4 hours ahead was at the pitstop, not the u-turn station.
No, hotel said Jody was 4 hours ahead and arrived with the skiers. Lady at pit stop confirmed skiers were first
-
How do we know?
Do we know when all picture where taken ?

-
Could the hotel have confused Jody with the debaters? They were up there with the ski girls in the picture..
-
It's also possible Jody and violinists were near bottom of the pact, and Jody got nervous and used the turn and then used their express pass from leg 1 to jump ahead of all the other teams to catch up to the skiers

Jody fans are pros they contacted the hotel company online and messaged them, the hotel said Jody was at the hotel first with the skiers

No they didn’t, I was the one who posted it.

post removed for rudeness.

It's possible that jody 5th in leg
-
Yes they said Jody and skiers got to hotel first and were 4 hrs ahead of last place team.
The hotel was a get a clue location, probably early in the leg. What happened there would have NO bearing on the end of the race. UNLESS we find out at what stage of the race that get a clue was, you cannot logically speculate on how it influenced the race.
-
The vacation people who were in Prague took a pic near the clue stand. There are only 7 clues, and nobody took one yet cause they are vines on top of them, so that means
Jody
Yale
Skiers
Twins
Violinists
And 2 more are in this leg.
-
Is it safe to say the ONLY things absolutely confirmed are:
1. Skiers finished 1st.
2. Jody used U-turn on Violinists
-
Yes

After a leg is finished if they don't leave to the next country till the next day wouldn't they go back to the hotel to sleep?

So far, from the sound of it, they were seen getting a clue DURING the race, not checking in after
-
would like some help forming a timeline of when skiers finished, and comparing when we saw skiers at u turn and when we saw Jody at u turn.... and see how long possible roadblock took after the u turn
Skiers finished at 230gbt according to witness.
-
well if those 4 teams were ahead of Jody going into the uturn (deciding not to use it) and Jody somehow knew the violinists were one of the only teams behind them than the voilinists are in huge trouble..
The would mean they are already trailing and would have to do both detours. ;/
Intresting to note though there is still one team not accounted for if there are 7 teams left.

Getting a CLUE outside a hotel certainly does not mean that is the hotel they stay in! In fact, prob means it is not. It is just a nice scenic hotel.
-
Regarding the U-Turn photo being 'faked.' It is my understanding that the Teams carry their own small team photos to use in the "U-Turned By..." spot. This is also how they control only using it once.
If so, a bystander wouldn't have had access to that smaller photo.

Then why is he small plates seen at the upturn board with the bigger plates?

The skiers could be the team the first team the lady saw and not first at the pit stop
Is that possible

It's possible the amazing race made a deal with that hotel to put a clue there if they let the teams stay there for the night after the leg? Maybe idk just thinking out loud.
-
^^^ It's my opinion that if that hotel was used by production, they wouldn't have allowed the employees to talk about the race.
-
Here is my perception of the photos we found so far today. :word:
Basket Social Club post photo of Shawn Marion near Rome, Italy? (very strange are they eliminated?)
Twins sighted at The Hotel URaka. Start of Days Run? Not the last or first to start the day? As we see box has other clues in it. (no credit given or time of posting by Georgia Peach)
CCGrounds photographs—9:08 am--7 clues, U-turn, Phil yawning on sidewalk, and the Skiers* running past the U-turn, prolly heading to the clues? No clue seen in their hands. He also photographs his wife with the clues, spots Jess & Cody and the Violinists.
Photos posted by Georgia Peach giving credit to SS* (Time or Where were these photos found? On what site? How do we look up SS*?) Photo of U-Turn with info on Jody Turning Violinists, then photo of, looks like, all four teams finding clue at castle at same time—twins, debaters, skiers, and lifeguards ( this is weird since we saw skiers in earlier and later photos alone? Did they get lost for a moment at the castle and then recover? Why didn’t we see the other teams in CCGounds photos? ) We also see photo of all three teams at the clue with Skiers looking to be talking. Next we see the Debaters off to side perhaps reading the U-turn card? Its taken by the U-turn area and the next photo we see them going alone in a different direction? She also had picture of Cody & Jess by the U-turn statue before they decided to put up Violinist and they have clue card in hand. In this photo you can see picture of the U-turn and it looks like same set up at CCGrounds photo (untouched). This makes me believe they were the first ones to the U-turn.
SS* also has pictures of “Jody” in street heading away or toward castle is unknown.
Mo_smiles90 posted pictures three hours ago of the pit stop and they see only the skiers. They confirm it’s the first team to pitstop.
**I assume from this that possible debate team U-turned by the other 3 teams to give them a lead but I also think Jody was the first team to the U-turn and the violinist were right behind them. By giving the other 4 teams a break this would give Jody favor amongst the other teams. Skiers were first team to castle but got behind. After the U-turn they recovered and came in first but we do not see any of the other teams in sight at this time? IDK
-

1. Skiers finished 1st.
2. Jody used U-turn on Violinists
1) we don't know that

Yes we do. They finished first. It was a pit stop, not continue on. Confirmed
-

The would mean they are already trailing and would have to do both detours. ;/
Intresting to note though there is still one team not accounted for if there are 7 teams left.
**look at all photos taken of the U-turn--if the 4 teams got there before Jody then why is the U-turn area untouched when we see photo of Jody by the U-turn before they chose to put Violinist up? Photos indicate to me Jody first to U-turn. Also 4 teams pick up castle clue at same time but only 3 seen by U-turn. We see the debaters reading a clue by the U-turn location. Possible the other 3 turned on the debaters giving them an edge? A photo can say so much.
-
I'd think if the Violinists were right behind Jody, they would've put another team up there already
They can still target another team for a U-turn, when they arrive there and discover they've been U-turned
Wouldn't make sense for a U-turned team to NOT use it if it were available, you know, to help themselves out
-
If it was 2-part leg, they'd check in and Phil would quickly pull the next clue from his back pocket, no stopping for interviews.
-
We don't know for sure
Anything is possible

If this is the location of the PitStop (and it looks a lot like it) there is a large dirt area behind that little wall where Phil and the Greeter are standing - plenty of room for the Mat.
-
I ask “@TeamJessica15 Did she stated that she heard Phil say they came in 1st place? Or could team/s came in before she was at the pit stop?” Reply was, “No just said that 2 girls were first and that she left after the first team came in.”
So it is possible team/s come in before the she was at the pit stop and just assumed the skiers were in first place.
-
Because the first four teams maybe didn't uturn anyone. So they left it blank?

No. It’s been since confirmed they got first and received a prize by someone there

I mean, Season 6 spent more than half the race in Europe (7* out of 13* legs)
(Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Hungary x2*, France)
*Introduction of Double-Length/Keep Racing Legs, I count the Double Leg in Hungary as two
Several other season had 5 or more legs:
Season 3: U.K., Portugal, Germany/Austria, Switzerland x2
Season 4: Italy x2, Austria, France, Netherlands
Season 9: Russia*, Germany, Italy x2, Greece (*Russia first half of double leg, I count as two)
Season 12: Ireland, Netherlands, Lithuania, Croatia, Italy
Season 15: Netherlands, Sweden, Estonia, Czech Republic x2
Season 17: U.K., Sweden, Norway, Russia x2
Season 21: Russia x2, Netherlands, France, Spain
Season 24: Italy x2, Switzerland, Spain, U.K.
Season 25: U.K. x2, Denmark/Sweden, Italy, Malta
This is unprecedented guys, I wouldn't be too worried or upset
We actually haven't gone above 4 in a while, so I'm not surprised by it, honestly
I'm just glad we got more Iceland, Belgium, Czechia, and a more of a beautiful region of France- even if the country as a whole is a bit overused

Ok, now I just saw another tweet from TeamJessica15, posting a screenshot of a chat, which says the skiers won a trip.

I've never seen so many statements with no evidence or proof being provided that are immediately accepted as proven fact. If questioned, it seems that some unnamed person said something to somebody somewhere at some point. Where did they do that? Where can I see it? Inquiring minds want to know. My head is spinning at this point. :iok
I'm not saying these statements are wrong. I'm just not willing to accept them on faith without some evidence backing them up.
-
Jess and Cody please step it up! Ik you can beat the teams left :conf:
-
Also Its pretty obvious that the violenists would be eliminated if all the other teams were ahead of them and jody did uturn them! right?

Granted, the photos anyway on this leg were incredible. A few teams pictured - yeah, including Jody! - after some time of no sightings.
-
Does anybody know if JODY still has the EXPRESS PASS to utilize in the next leg? If I remember correctly I read that JODY won the first leg and received the EXPRESS PASS.

Sure, we can speculate that, as long as we're aware there could be many circumstances which could throw that out the window. Just a couple of examples that come to mind quickly:
A team involved in that assumption could have a penalty, (known or unknown to them)
A mistake was made at U-Turn board.

So far, that is unconfirmed
Some on here are claiming that hardcore, but there isn’t any evidence to support it, so it isn’t official
In short, we don’t have the evidence to know for sure if they even had the express pass in the first place

My head is spinning at this point. :iok
I'm not saying these statements are wrong. I'm just not willing to accept them on faith without some evidence backing them up.

OK, I'll buy that the skiers were first, but I don't see any proof that Jody "must have been in second".
And that's just one instance. There have been several other claims that I haven't seen any evidence for.

^^^^ That twitter account (which is now private) has posted a lot of sightings, etc, but usually didn't credit the source. This makes follow-up very difficult.
Why wouldn’t you need to follow up? That’s likely why they keep things private so people aren’t harassing Gothenburg or their sources.
This is what the new to TAR, Jody fans don't understand. First of all, I'm a huge Jess/Cody fan from BB. But I've watched TAR since season 2. This site doesn't hoard spoilers or try to get credit or keep them to themeselves to be the first or only with the information.
This site is all about getting as much information as possible, making sure it's correct, laying out the route, teams, order, destinations as correctly as possible AND giving credit to anyone who is a source. That's not what I see happening with jody fans on twitter. Also posting DM's is pretty sketchy too, unless they've been given permission from the person.
No one is trying to deny any information, the people here just don't believe it as fact until there's proof. They've lived this for many many years. They've been through all the different things that can happen and are just trying to have fun while piecing together the race for ALL racers.

It's truly sad how much the the TAR community is ****ting on Jody fans. They're working hard as sleuths and giving much needed attention back to the show. Why the disrespect???
Read my post above. No one is doing that. People just want facts to piece together the race. The only disrespect is not giving credit to the sources of information throughout the race.
No one cares who is fans of who. We want GOOD information that is proven. That's all.

Why would you need to follow up? That’s likely why they keep things private so people aren’t harassing Gothenburg or their sources.
This is kind of a perfect example. One possible follow-up would be to find out what order the pictures were taken in. A lot of the questions directed at this person's twitter could have been handled discretely by contacting the original poster. Most of what we have now is hearsay, despite having lots of photo evidence. All the photos in the world can't give us information on the order of the race unless we know when and where they were taken.

We follow up because that is what we do. Regardless of what others do, we do things clearly a little differently. We rarely rely on one source, we check multiple sources.
If she got the info from a source, that's great! Great idea to screencap it too. If that info was shared readily we could understand things much better.
But this whole block/don't share thing is crazy.
Every other BB season RFF has worked TOGETHER with BB forums, and that made for some delightful and very effective spoiling seasons.
When people feel free to use our photos without credit, remove logos to claim credit for themselves, and then hide that, something is wrong.
This is not a competition between boards. I could care less who gets what when.
This is a thoughtful, serious evaluation of an enormous amount of data to reach some conclusions. I do care about accuracy. There will be mistakes, and misunderstanding of what we see...that is inevitable. But we try hard to read the data correctly, and appreciate all of YOU helping to bring us info.
But please, be SURE before you make a firm statement that you 1) understand how things work, 2) have correct info that can be documented, and 3) are careful how you word things. If you only hope/wish/ something is true, please say that. Do not state it as fact. Lot's of things can be interpreted more than one way.
Okay...back to spoiling!! Go find some more goodies!! :hrt:
-
I'd think if the Violinists were right behind Jody, they would've put another team up there already
They can still target another team for a U-turn, when they arrive there and discover they've been U-turned
Wouldn't make sense for a U-turned team to NOT use it if it were available, you know, to help themselves out
Maybe they did? We have seen no pictures of the violinists at the Uturn, but if they were the last team to get there it doesn't matter they can't u turn anybody.
-
I credit each and every photographer. I mark their pics with THEIR names. As do our team.
I have credited BB sources several times today.
I expect you all to do that as well. If that screencap was used without permission or credit, please edit your posts and delete it if you do not have permission to use it.
You all have NO idea how we function and how many hours of behind the scene work goes into being sure we have our facts straight.
We are MOVING ON NOW.
Back to spoiling.
Further discussion should go back to SPOILING and the TAR legs.
If you want to be here and help us with that, fine, We LOVE having you.
If you prefer another forum, by all means go there instead.
BUT THIS DISCUSSION IS CLOSED.
BACK TO DISCUSSION OF SPOILERS AND THAT IS IT!

Quick recap of today's info up to this point to help get us all back on track:
7 clue packs were seen so we know there are at least 7 teams in this leg.
Teams seen today (in no particular order): Skiers, Debaters, Lifeguards, Twins, Jody, Violinists
Not seen YET today but not confirmed to be eliminated: Indy Racers, Eaters
Not seen in today and believed to have been eliminated: Ring Girls, Yoga Moms, Basketballers
We also have confirmation that Jody used a U-Turn on Violinists, and Skiers were seen at the Pit Stop.
Also, Skiers POSSIBLY (but not confirmed) finished 1st and POSSIBLY won a trip (POSSIBLY to Australia) as a prize.
Hope this helps a little!

That's a good synopsis. I'll add the obvious point that since there were seven teams and only 6 were seen, either Indy or the Eaters were still in the race but not both.
-
Basically to summarize the U-Turn for you first time BB fans :) This is the biggest thing in the game one team can do to impede another. The team who is targeted by the U-Turn (only if they're behind the team that U-Turned, otherwise it doesn't work) is forced to turn back and do both tasks of the Detour.
If Jody hadn't gotten there first, I'd guess the odds are high they would have been U-Turned. It's often used to slow down a team who others feel is a threat. And sometimes by a team who's fallen behind, on a team even farther behind to create a buffer, which almost guarantees elimination for the latter.
-
I do think it is weird that 4 teams that were so close together would all not use the U turn before Jody got there.
With everybody so close wouldn't you want to make sure you don't get last espically if they don't know for sure if there was another team ahead of them?
You would think the 4 teams would make a pact to use it on the teams that weren't with them at the time.
-
In one of the pics of Jess and Cody talking to people on street (pic#8 on the numbered pics) it looks like a clock on a street pole. Were any times mentioned in any of the posts?

I don't believe Jody did get there first? I thought it was The Skiers?

OKAY: ONE MORE POST.
PRIVATE information from another site should NOT be used without
1) PERMISSION and
2) credit.
Just as RFF likes credit for what we post, we expect others to GIVE credit for work well done.
Today a post was lifted from another site without permission. I am deleting all of those now and have apologized to the owner.
If you go multiple places you are responsible for the above. If you have any questions you can always MESSAGE me here or on Twitter to see if it can be used.
Thanks guys! Back to TAR!

Sometimes you have to weigh the risks: use a U-Turn on a team vs it backfiring and they target you next time.
-
Which picture, I was looking for that. We know that four teams got their clue at the castle at the same time. And all four were at the U-turn at the same time too. If you look at the photo with the Skiers at U-turn facing the cameras and seemingly talking about their U-turn decision. There are two ladies in the background that we later see in the photo of the Debaters near the U-turn location but they are now headed up the stairs into the building making it known that this photo followed the other in time. Here is where I speculate that it is possible that the 3 teams U-turned the Debaters because they seem to go off in a different direction without all the others.

There’s a picture of Jody talking to a local with a clock in the background Time was 12:02 pm
-
Assuming that Violinists were U-Turned, does that mean the Indy or Eaters who weren't in sightings gets ahead of them? If so, the Indy or Eaters might have a chance to get 2nd to Last while Violinists are in the back, at risk of being in elimination.
-
I don't believe Jody did get there first? I thought it was The Skiers?
Or "before teams who would want to target them", I should have used better wording :)
Heck, there could have been a Fast Forward on this leg, and that's how the skiers got ahead of them.
-
Does anyone know how the U-turn works? After a team is there, do they remove their photo so the teams behind know they can not be U-turned?
If their photos are removed, we can know for sure that Jess and Cody were at the U-turn first because the Yale Debaters photo is showing in all the U-turn pictures--untouched, and they were there directly after the Skiers.
-
Fast Forwards usually happen early in the leg, for the team to avoid doing detour/roadblock and head straight to the pit stop
Don’t think the ladies would be at the U-turn board if they got a Fast Forward
-
U-turn photos stay
We’ve had plenty occasions of a team accidentally u-turning a team ahead of them

Examine the photos, I think Jody got to the U-turn before the Skiers. The photos at the bottom of the U-turn statue are all untouched and have the Debaters on top-- the debaters followed the Skiers, the twins, the lifeguards at the U-turn according to photos.

t
Thank you for this information. So do the photos usually remain in order too? IDK I look at the photos and the scene of the statue with photos look untouched until we see the U-turn on the Violinists. Being the first photographer saw only Skiers coming into the castle grounds, but the violinist and Jody on the street, it's plausible they were in close proximity of each other.
later we see the skiers, debaters, lifeguards, and twins all getting there clues at the same time and showing up to the U-turn together.
-
Dvorak? Hmm, wonder if they could have done something with that.
There's two famous Dvoraks, the composer, and the guy who patented the keyboard layout. If there's violinists in the race, I could see the former being the theme of a task.
-
Time on the clock is Noon. The morning photographer posted his photos at 9 am this morning. And didn't we learn the Skiers got to the mat at 2:30 pm?

The composer Dvorak was a Czech, so that would be the obvious connection. The Violinists would have a big advantage. I'm not sure how you would design a task around keyboards.
-
Yeah, we've seen in the past how a lot of times, a team gets that one task that's exactly in their wheelhouse, there could certainly be one here for them. He was indeed a violinist and composer for string orchestra.

Not same photographer. Picture of Jody @ 12:02 taken by SS* The photos posted this morning were at or near the castle posted at 9am byhttps://twitter.com/WhitmoorCCSuper

That's the same person. SS is his Facebook name.
He posted them all at the same time on Facebook.

Would it have to do with his FB settings?

You have to take into account time zones. Where was the photographer posting from? Could his camera be set not to local time? All that matters. 9AM whose time? Your or his? May read differently.
-
Ok. I understand it.
Those photos were posted 2:36 PM in Prague. That's how they caught Jody at 12:02.
I had to adjust for my timezone.
-
Guessing they're probably moving on from Europe next. 4 countries there now.
-
Georgia Peach -- do you know what time the photo of the Twins was taken at the Romantik Hotel U Raka? You posted it around 11am while the other pictures were posted at 9am? I think all those photos around the Rudolfinum Concert Hall were taken near the 12:02 noontime as seen in the photo.
If you plot on a map from the Hotel is a six minute drive (1.9 miles) to the Rudolfinum Concert Hall, and then just .5 mile to the Metronome Sculpture & Pitstop --- you get the idea of their journey today minus any tasks or roadblocks....
-
I am praying the next place they go to is germany castles or tokyo japan, or africa. :bunny
PS: this has to be one of the best first dates EVER (for jody) lol :conf:
-
The new photo and information put the 4 teams in the front (Skiers, Lifeguards, Twins, Debaters) and 3 teams (Jody, Violinist, and mystery team) in the rear. So Jody did slow the Violinist down due to being behind the pack.... :groan:

No sorry. Without the photographer checking their times there is no way to tell.

I'm confused. Is the time stamp on Facebook based on my timezone or the poster's timezone?
The hotel picture was posted on Facebook at 7:38 AM. But is that my time or do I have to adjust for Prague?

Previous photo shows the Skiers, Lifeguards, Debaters, & Twins together at that Clue table &
at the U-turn. I had doubt all day but this last photo & FB post gives answers.
-
So as it relates to the mystery team, I'm gonna guess it's the Indy 500 racers or the eaters.

Yes, no sightings of either teams in Prague have surfaced.

i would agree with this.
-
so if there were only 3 clues left on the cluetable close to the uturn does that mean teams would know their current place when they were there by how many clues were left?
If so that is probably why Jody used it.. If they realized they were only ahead of 1 or 2 teams and knew the violinist were one of the ones behind them, they needed to do it to buy more time and make sure they didn't get last.

Teams make the U-Turn decision being taking and reading their clue :tup:
Considering the clue-table though... maybe it's behind the board?

Most of the time the first Courtesy of Photo that exists at the U-Turn is the teams arranged in Alphabetical order. If it's Jessica & Cody then it's "Cody & Jessica", and thus, we might be able to figure that "CEDRIC & Shawn" are now likely eliminated.

How do we know it isn’t arranged as Shawn and Cedric?
Conor and Alex could also be in trouble, if they arrange it Alex and Conor
But that is if they truly do it alphabetically all the time
-
They don't arrange the team members' names alphabetically. They arrange them based on what they think would roll off the tongue better, or sound better (at least most of the time). For example, "Cody & Jessica" sounds phonetically better than "Jessica & Cody." Also rolls off the tongue a lot more easily. With Trevor & Chris, I think their names also sound better that way, and maybe the producers thought and decided that, too.
-
I think how the teams are arranged at the starting line reflects their team names more
From Phil’s perspective, it would fit with the three names we see on the pictures
Henry and Evan
Cody and Jessica
Trevor and Chris
Contrstents arranged the same in photo and at Starting Line
If based off that, and if the alphabetical photos are correct (team who’s first member’s name comes first alphabetically is at the top) I’d be more nervous for Indy (standing as Alex and Conor at the Starting Line)
-
Well, you learn something new everyday!
I didn't know 'Czech Republic' is now called 'Czsecia'

I had to look it up to verify it. They did change the name officially to Czechia although Czech Republic has registered in the minds of the people.

I remember I saw a list was leaked somewhere here that show how the teammate was arranged but I can't find it anymore.
Edit: Can't find the list anymore, but I remember the teammate was arranged exactly like the list below:
1- Alex Rossi/Conor Daly (M/M) Indy 500 Winners (Blue)
2- Lucas Bocanegra/Brittany Austin (M/F) LifeGuard Couple (Lime Green)
3- April Gould/Sarah Williams (F/F) (Bright Blue)
4- Shawn Marion/Cedric Ceballos(M/M) NBA Stars (??Purple??)
5- Cody Nickson/Jessica Graf(M/F) Big Brother Couple (Khaki Green)
6- Trevor Wadleigh/Christopher Marchant (M/M) Violinists with WellStrung (Black)
7- Henry Zhang/Evan Lynyak(M/F) Yale National Debate Champs-Couple (??)
8- Jen Hudak/Kristi Leskinen (F/F) National Ski Champs (Pink)
9- Eric/Daniel Guiffreda (M/M) Twin Firefighter EMT's (??)
10- Kayla Fitzgerald and Dessie Mitcheson (F/F) "Ring Girls" (Red)
11- Joey Chestnut/Tim Janus (M/M) National Eating Champs (Kelly Green)
Our sighted F7 teams in alphabetical order might be:
Alex & Conor (If they're the mystery team)
Cody & Jessica
Eric & Daniel
Henry & Evan
Jen & Kristi
Joey & Tim (If they're the mystery team)
Lucas & Brittany
Trevor & Chris

I wonder who the mystery team is. I think it could only be either the Indy 500 Racers or the Competitive Eaters. Shawn Marion was seen in Rome without a backpack, without Cedric Ceballos nor a camera crew, I'd assume they're eliminated already.

Please search Prague airport for sightings before noon today...STAT! Thanks!

Interestingly enough, the person who posted the pic with all 7 clues (WhitmoorCCSuper), posted pictures of JODY and the Violinists. (Posted at the same time) Yet now we are thinking they were behind at least 4 other teams.
-
Sorry if this is wrong place to post. I was thinking the same thing. If you look at the times and the picture with Jody where there is a clock it looks like they may have been minutes apart. Something still seems off to me. The picture with the skiers in the background near the uturn by themselves is really throwing me off, where did the other 3 teams go??
-
I find it very hard to believe all those teams that wer behind jody and the violienists got in front of them. without help atleast.
maybe it is a new twist and another team won it and put them in the bottom or something.
-
teams go from first to last all the time during seasons. its normal
-

Exactly. The two groups could have chosen different detours and one group finished quicker than the others. Or couldn't find the cluebox. Or got lost. Or bad cab. Anything can trip up teams.

Can you expand on this? Not sure I am getting it.

Behind just means as to who got the clues first. I think it's obvious that all the teams where the area at the same time. Jody and the Violinist were not that far behind. Question is, was the mystery team late start or what?

I think the Skiers were racing everyone to the clue table and blew past the U=turn at that point.

If you plot on a map from the Hotel it's a six-minute drive (1.9 miles) to the Rudolfinum Concert Hall (the clue table and U-turn), and then just .5 mile to the Metronome Sculpture & Pitstop (Letenske Schody)--- you get the idea of their journey today minus any tasks or roadblocks.... Everything was relatively close so it was prolly a matter of minutes between the teams.

-
Let's all be on the alert for sightings please! Today SHOULD be a travel day unless this is an extended PitStop!
-
Interestingly enough, the person who posted the pic with all 7 clues (WhitmoorCCSuper), posted pictures of JODY and the Violinists. (Posted at the same time) Yet now we are thinking they were behind at least 4 other teams.
Can you expand on this? Not sure I am getting it.
WhitmoorCCGrounds (@WhitmoorCCSuper) posted two sets of photos around the same time (9:08 and 9:09) on 12 Oct. (This may have been just after noon, Prague Time, I'm going by what I see on the twitter pics)
His pictures include a picture of all seven clues still on the pedestal. They also include a picture of Phil, somewhere nearby and a picture of the skiers behind the hedge by the U-turn (In the first pics - 9:08 tag).
The other set of pics (9:09 tag) show Cody and Jess and the Violinists on the streets interacting with passersby. One of the Jody pics is in front of the same building we see in the clock photo.
It's just interesting that this photographer only caught 3 of the teams, and they were not bunched the way we see them in other photos.
As has been mentioned, these pics, even though they include the U-Turn, may have been before the teams encountered the Detour. If the skiers and others completed the Detour more quickly than Jody this would explain how the group of 4 teams got a bit of a lead.
-
I also do not know if this has been mentioned but:
Is this Jody's courtesy of photo below or is it someone else?
Cropped from the big picture:

Cropped from the U-Turn picture:
(https://i.imgur.com/vGtZ8K2.png)
Most of the time the first Courtesy of Photo that exists at the U-Turn is the teams arranged in Alphabetical order. If it's Jessica & Cody then it's "Cody & Jessica", and thus, we might be able to figure that "CEDRIC & Shawn" are now likely eliminated.

This just leaves it to be the Lifeguards then? ???
-
These are from my start line pics, teams are standing.
Don't we have confirmation that JODY Uturned ?? ???
Not sure why the confusion, but maybe missing something.
Looks like JODY to me.
Lol if you are worrying about this you are NOT searching for sightings...and that's what we need more today/tonight.
-
So it’s not Henry and Evan on that courtesy of on the ground in the first/smaller crop?
Though we can’t make out the faces per se, the heights and background def look different than the one of Cody and Jessica
Also the hats look dark, as opposed to the bright yellow of the lifeguards hats
It doesn’t look like a M/M or F/F team either
I still think that other one is Henry and Evan- the heights in that photo don’t seem too dissimilar from their height at the Starting Line
-
This is the Yale Debater. He is infront of a chalkboard. Hope enlargement helps. I could not post my other two enlargements but he has glasses on and he is def the Guy debater.
-
I’m conpletely lost sorry. What’s the significance of figuring out that picture on the floor?
-
I’m conpletely lost sorry. What’s the significance of figuring out that picture on the floor?
I'm not sure there is any. We have positively identified six of the teams that made it to Prague. Unless we get info on the 7th team, we really should take Peach's advice and look forward.
-
Who knows it could be a close race.. The person who took the pictures of the 4 teams that are grouped together around the detour is also the same one who took the pictures of Jody arriving there and uturing the violinists correct?
So unless both these sources are sticking around for hours they seem to all be around the same general area and there could be only minutes seperating them.
Defeintly not uncommon for a bunch of teams to be doing detours together.
All we know is Jody detoured the violinists so in order for them to do that they had to feel there was at least a chance that the violinists were behind them.
-
Picture on the floor is immaterial....Only thing that matters is pic on the board.
Yeah...peach is pooped.
Y'all go searching please?? :please:
-
I have a question Peach, if the team get a mat or pitstop, does that mean they go back to the hotel and rest? we kinda know the hotel they stayed at the night before, has anyone talked to that hotel?
-
No sweetie. That hotel was a pick up a clue only, don't believe they stayed there.
-
For locations of direct flights out of Prague, if we're thinking they left this morning, I saw:
Kiev
Warsaw
Belgrade
Budapest
Riga
Moscow
St. Petersburg
Istanbul
Dubai
Tel-Aviv *fingers crossed*
Unless they went West for one of the European hubs- but that seems unlikely with a few good hubs in/to the middle east, and a descent amount of places in Eastern Europe/Middle East direct
Maybe searching around in some of these cities may be fruitful?
-
I can vouch there were no teams in Tel- Aviv today. :sab
Let's focus on trains for now. Look for train/bus station sightings.
-
Are teams racing right now, or is it an extended Pit Stop?
-
Who knows??
-
Wonder which side of the Detour the U-Turn was on, before like last season, or after where it should be. With so many of them crowded there at the same time, I'm inclined to guess before.
-
Turkey would really make sense to me. It's a great connector before heading deep into Asia.
But that 1 tweet doesn't really convince me, could it just be a reference to some local event? ???
-

Probably this could be a local race and could not be us. Maybe teams having an extended pit stop in Prague before heading to the next destination.
-
Turkey would be a good location for a leg!
But as Marionete said, we need more than 1 tweet to believe this is not a fake...

indeed, it's still unproven enough, as far as i zoom in the picture I can't see any race-related stuff, but well just to give a little bump and teams are on-route to the east hopefully... :tup:

Yeah, and that was 5 days ago.
Pretty sure this is irrelevant to us.
-
This is probably not a real sighting but on the small chance that they are filming a second leg in Czechia, I thought I'd post it.
ondra @iourboi 6h6 hours ago
v Praze se natáčí Amazing race... omg
3:37 AM - 14 Oct 2017
This translates to
in Prague filming Amazing race ... omg
There was one reply to this that asked in Czech, "Today?" No answer to that so far. @iourbis states that he lives in České Budějovice, which is about 70 miles south of Prague. Nice looking city, but since he mentions Prague specifically, they are probably not in his city.
I’m the reply ;)
-
I agree it’s prob nothing
S was like more of a reaction to hearing about the recent leg
-
I agree, they were probably surprised to hear about the filming the other day. Good work about contacting them in their language!

Or did the Prague sighting see them on way to airport???
-
No, they were on the plane stowing their backpacks in the overhead bins. Pics are up now. Maybe others can see more teams.
-
Any sign of other teams?

So it appears we have the twins and the debaters on that flight. That's clearly Henry from the side of the face.

2 flights to Zurich departed at same time. Swiss International Air flight LX1485 and Air Canada flight AC 6784. The original poster for photos commented that they were headed to Zimbabwe but I do not see flights connecting to Zimbabwe via Zurich so not sure where she got that info to if it was given to her purposely.
-
Zurich's probably just a connection. Hopefully
-
Just doing a quick check & there will be multiple connections. And we don't know where in Zimbabwe.

Could connect via Cape Town....

Swiss Air flight 1499 (LX1499)
-
They could be connecting on the South African Airlines/Swiss Air connection via Johannesburg to Victoria Falls that would have arrived at 1230pm today:
SA/LX 7241 ZRHJNB 2240 0910‡1
SA 40 JNBVFA 1050 1230
or this nearly identical combination to Harare:
LX 288 ZRHJNB 2240 0910‡1
SA 22 JNBHRE 1045 1215
I can't imagine they'd stay in Vic Falls since they were just there with the Reporters, but from there it's a half hour drive to Chobe, Botswana.
-
Sorry, these flights would arrive at noon tomorrow, local time.
-
Supposedly going to Zimbabwe. Connections to HRE look good.
In a previous season I think they drove across border? ??? what am I remembering guys?
-

Yeah, Season 27. They just went across the border from Livingstone, Zambia. Them flying into the capital, Harare, would be unexpected. Not entirely sure of the situation there, but the country has had a lot of problems with hyperinflated currency, which is now dead and worthless.
-
They just use the US Dollar
-
Vic Falls has remained stable due to it's Tourist Bubble economy. And from there they can drive into Botswana or Zambia as well.
-
They just use the US Dollar
Well that's convenient, then. Good reason to return.
-
Going to Zimbabwi. Are there also flights ZUR to Livingstone that fit?
-

Honestly can’t tell you’re being sarcastic. But if you are I don’t mean it like that I mean it due to the person talking about Zimbabwe’s economic problem.
-
Where are you seeing the lifeguard? The woman in the aisle looks way older.
-

Yes, that woman in the aisle looks much older than the female lifeguard, and the luggage that she's stowing in the bin doesn't look like that of the lifeguard.
-
Deplaning in Zurich, very tight connection
There's our male lifeguard
-
I guess that rules Cape Town out as Eldweiss Air flight departs in over 2 hours.
-
Fingers crossed that Indy made it through...
-
I'm anxious to find out whether Violinists survived the U-Turn. }:>
-
When asked if she spotted Jody, @dawnbeavers on twitter replied
"Yep! Front of the plane and cuddly!!"
-
Is that the lifeguard in yellow?
-
Is that Yoga in the pink on the escalator?
Is that Violinist behind Debater?
-
The woman in pink is the debater.
-
Is that Yoga in the pink on the escalator?

The woman in pink is the female Debater. She's usually seen with a black headband on, and the male Debater was photographed settling down in the seat next to her on the flight.
I don't think the man in the background is Violinist. Violinists have matching light grey backpacks.
-

Yes, that woman in the aisle looks much older than the female lifeguard, and the luggage that she's stowing in the bin doesn't look like that of the lifeguard.
I think it may just be a bad pic of her. Apparently someone else sees the male lifeguard so...?
-
Male lifeguard is spotted. Check out the live sighting thread.
-
Are you sure that’s not the tall violinist? I know one has a Grey backpack but they don’t have matching backpacks

The lifeguard team is definitely on the flight, but I don't think the woman in the aisle is the female Lifeguard. Debaters, Lifeguards, and Twins were all seated together toward the back of where the woman is stowing her luggage.
-

No, I'm not sure but the backpack and haircut don't look like either of their's to me. Their grey backpacks look matching to me (in color).
-
Guys I just went back one of the violinists does have a blue backpack. The taller one that matches his appearance. I think that’s them!!
-
That looks exactly like both his beard and hair to me. The picture made the backpack a little darker blue
-

That guy's backpack is at least two-toned (looks blue and grey). The Violinists' backpacks are a solid color. You can see it at different angles in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH1rZBwe4oA
-
Skiers don't appear to have been pictured, but if they really did win the leg, that goes without saying they're safe. Maybe they found a better connection.
That leaves the violinists or our unknown 7th team as the one who went out in Prague.
-
Skiers could have been at the front of the plane with Jody
-
Are you sure that’s not the tall violinist? I know one has a Grey backpack but they don’t have matching backpacks
yes they do!
Let's all try to be accurate here? If you are not sure saying I think is always good!
-
So, if I have this correct, the only team Dawn Beavers didn't see was Indy? Or have we found something about them?
Getting a little lost here, especially since some photos on this site are blocked for me by one security system or another. :knock:
I'm trying to think of tasks in Zimbabwe, but in reality, I don't even know the political climate there right now, and I'm rushing around today. Dang in one way though, India and the trains are almost always some of my favorite times on TAR.

Dawn recognized Jody who were toward the front of the plane and photographed Lifeguards, Debaters, and Twins.
Dawn didn't see Skiers, Indy, Eaters, or Violinists as far as she knows.
-
She said that she saw Debaters,Twins,Lifeguards. Jody aren’t pictured as she was in the back of the plane and they were up front, we know Skiers made it as they were first last leg so we are missing one team. She was sent pictures of Indy and Violinist but said she doesn’t think she saw them but also didn’t know what she was looking for. Said she only noticed Jody as she was exiting plane and because she knew who they were.

Thanks guys! So we need to be searching Zurich's airport. Also looking for connecting flights to get them close to Zimbabwe?

Why do we think there's a missing leg?
-
Okay,pretty obvious by TimeFrame that we missed a leg near Prague. My guess is that Varsha's suggestion of Luhacovice Cz could have been right.
So let's keep searching there and any nearby places that would bring them back to Prague to fly out.
-
Interesting tidbit... She offered to buy them some food and was told "not allowed to accept". I had same answer in 27 airport...news (ish) rule??
-
Hum, I thought the blonde man bought Jody both water, apple and something else in an airport earlier.
-
I think he GAVE them food, probably a difference.

Out of Zurich flights include: Swiss International Air Lines SWR288

Also available on South African Airways SA7241 connecting with SA048 They would all land together.

Usually there are 3 non-eliminations, so with the known one in Morocco, we're looking for 2 more.
It may have been during the leg we missed in Czech Republic. If there even is a leg we missed there. But it may have been an elimination, there's no way to tell.

Yes. In fact usually there are three legs where teams are not eliminated. They can be saved because is a pre-determined non-eliminated PS - a NEL - or because they arrive and find that instead of being checked they receive a new clue instructing to continue racing - a KOR -.

Information from TAR27
Zambia → Zimbabwe)
While in Zambia, teams visited Victoria Falls, the largest sheet of falling water in the world.
to Livingstone, Zambia Zambia (Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport)
Livingstone District (Mukuni Village)
Livingstone (Batoka Aerodrome) Roadblock: "Who wants to rise above the smoke that thunders?"
Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Victoria Falls – Knife's Edge)
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Zimbabwe (Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge) (Overnight rest)
Detour: Co-Op or Croquet Victoria Falls (The Big Five Co-Op or Victoria Falls Hotel)
Victoria Falls (Rose of Charity Orphanage) Double U-Turn: Tiffany & Krista attempted to U-Turn Justin & Diana and 2nd U-Turn not used Pit Stop: Leg 4
In this leg's Roadblock, one member from each team had to choose a microlight plane and fly above Victoria Falls to spot the route marker below the mist on Knife's Edge Bridge. Once landed, they reunited with their partner and traveled across Knife's Edge Bridge for their next clue.
The Detour was a choice between Co-Op or Croquet. In Co-Op, teams made their way to The Big Five Co-Op and had to stain and polish a carved wooden giraffe. When it was properly painted and dried, a woodcarver gave them their next clue. In Croquet, teams made their way to Victoria Falls Hotel and had to play croquet, scoring five points against professional players to receive their next clue.
Additional tasks
Teams were informed that their flight was to Livingstone, Zambia. They were tasked to book their tickets to O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa and given two separate flight options to Livingstone that arrived 15 minutes apart.
Upon arrival in Livingstone, teams made their way to Mukuni Village and took part in a traditional welcome ceremony in which the village chief spat water on them as a blessing.
At the Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge in the nearby country of Zimbabwe, teams had to spend the night and pick one of three times to leave the following morning: 8:00 a.m., 8:10 a.m., or 8:20 a.m.
Leg 5 (Zimbabwe)
This leg of the race featured the first challenge of season 1 where they had to swing across Batoka Gorge.
Victoria Falls (The Lookout Café)
Victoria Falls National Park (Batoka Gorge) Roadblock: "Who wants to gorge themselves?"
Detour: Crocs or Canoes Victoria Falls (Elephants Walk Shopping and Artist Village – Crocodile Cage Diving or A Zambezi River Lodge)
Victoria Falls (Masuwe Safari Lodge – The Lion Encounter)
Victoria Falls (Masuwe Safari Lodge – Masuwe Private Game Reserve) Pit Stop: Leg 5
In this leg's Roadblock, each team had to select one member to participate in the very first task from season 1. The team member had to strap on a harness and free-fall 200 feet (61 m) into the Batoka Gorge and swing above the Zambezi River. Once they returned to the top, they got their next clue.
The Detour was a choice between Crocs or Canoes. In Crocs, teams had to travel to Crocodile Cage Diving at Elephants Walk Shopping and Artist Village. The teams changed into wetsuits and were submerged in a metal cage, using poles to feed meat to three Nile crocodiles. Once the meat was fed, they received their next clue. In Canoes, teams had to travel to A Zambezi River Lodge where they had to get an inflatable canoe and paddle together across the river. Once they arrived at the riverbank, one team member had to hoist their partner up a tree to retrieve the clue from a vulture's nest. Teams then paddled back across the river.
Additional tasks
After the Detour, teams were instructed to travel to The Lion Encounter at Masuwe Safari Lodge. Accompanied by safari instructors and two lions, they walked through the bush to find their next clue hidden in a skull. Only two teams were permitted to attempt this task at the same time.
After teams found their clue they had to walk to Masuwe Private Game Reserve, where they received a large cloth to tie around their heads. Each then had to get a basket of fruit at Masuwe Lodge to carry on their heads and continue walking carefully to the Pit Stop.
Leg 6 (Zimbabwe → France)
Roadblock: "Who wants to get their heart pumping?" Victoria Falls National Park (Victoria Falls Bridge)
Flight: Livingstone, Zambia (Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport) to Paris, France France (Charles de Gaulle Airport)
The above are possible searching points these next few days. Either ways, It's gonna be thrilling!
-
Great info ^^^^^ from previous season to use for searching! Thanks! :)
But before I resume searching, is this correct?
Teams seen today on the plane were Debaters, Twins, Lifeguards & Jody.
No sightings today (YET) of Skiers, Indy Racers, Violinists or Eaters.
Believed to already have been eliminated: Ring Girls, Yoga Moms, Basketballers
-
Yes you are right, that's accurate.
At least one of Eaters/Indy Racers is eliminated as well.
Unless the leg in Prague was a NEL and there was no leg in between that and Zimbabwe, there are more teams that have been eliminated.
-

Not an expert on airline protocol, so can someone tell me if an airline will confirm so-and-so (give the specific name) is listed as a passenger on a certain flight number? Thx!
No way in he**.
-
What about Bulawayo?
-
For the game spotting! Supposed to be awesome there.
-
Sorry, can someone clarify if teams are on the flight to Johannesburg or Cape Town? Thanks a lot.
-
Okay,pretty obvious by TimeFrame that we missed a leg near Prague. My guess is that Varsha's suggestion of Luhacovice Cz could have been right.
So let's keep searching there and any nearby places that would bring them back to Prague to fly out.
Do you think that leg was a non elimination? Are there usually 2 of them?
I'm new to TAR
There is usually 2 or 3 of them so there is a decent chance of this leg being non elimination.
-
Is that Yoga in the pink on the escalator?
Is that Violinist behind Debater?
The woman in pink is the female Debater. She's usually seen with a black headband on, and the male Debater was photographed settling down in the seat next to her on the flight.
I don't think the man in the background is Violinist. Violinists have matching light grey backpacks.
I figured that would be one of Skiers. that's Jen. the pink color is darker compared to Evan which has light pink. of course, that's Jen's headband and not Evan's, the female debater team always wear black cap wherever she goes.
-
I'm leaning towards Joburg for connection city- has way more flights into Zimbabwe tomorrow than Cape Town
Harare and Victoria Falls both have flights in the late morning and early afternoon from there, with Bulawayo having one in the late morning as well
Cape Town just has one to the Victoria Falls area, and it might be before our expected time frame for their arrival in South Africa
-
I know we dont know for sure, but Since Jody was the only ones to use the u turn board on the violinists its most likely they were the ones eliminated last. Good for them if true because then they dont have a team still on the show mad at them.
-
There are many flights from Cape town to Johannesburg, many more flights from Johannesburg.

No, that's Debater, not Skiers. The headband is Debater's (you can check the previous sightings in Prague). She has darker pink because she was wearing a jacket or something. And people can have more than one set of clothes.

Yup, that's what tends to happen with U-Turns. There almost always is another one. If the targeted team survives, they will usually be seeking to return the favor (in this case, Jody) on the next one.
-
I wonder if someone was behind the violinists and they got to u turn someone as well. Hopefully that saved them

It's a possibility. There is still one missing M/M team out there somewhere. No matter what though I am happy to see some M/M teams going down.. This would be 3 in a row.
All 3 couples are still there which surprised me.
-
I hope Violinist are out lol
-
Just something to question about the U-Turn leg, does anyone think the missing team may have taken a Fast Forward?
TAR16: Fast Forward on U-Turn Leg
TAR17: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR20: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR21: Fast Forward with Double U-Turn Leg
TAR22: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR23: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR25: Fast Forward with Double U-Turn Leg
TAR27: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR29: Fast Forward on Regular Leg
TAR30: ?
I'm not saying there's a pattern but I'm just throwing this out there :funny:
-
I hope Violinist are out lol
Me, too. Don't know why anyone would want an alpha-male team to stick around. I hope the U-Turn did its job.

Stay ON TOPIC please. Save the sarcasm for somewhere else.

It's part of the game, though. And honestly, if they're gone, they're gone. Cody & Jessica made the right choice by making it so. Allow the rarely trailing alpha-male team a chance to catch up and even win after passing up the best chance to keep it from happening? Hell no!

I have no strong feelings either way about the Violinists. I'm still confused as to what wanting a team to be eliminated "by their own doing" rather than the result of a U-Turn means. So are these people who are against U-Turns being successful also against NELs?

Well NEL’s have been a feature since the beginning, and I’d argue necessary
If we were to have no NEL’s with 11 teams we would only get 9 episodes tops, which is really short, especially for reality television
If we wanted 12-13 episodes without NEL’s, we’d have to have 14-15 teams- you already run the risk of losing teams amongst the sea of contestants when they do a 12 team race
Neither really would work that well
U-turn is just another extra device they implemented to spice things up
I personally kind of enjoy it as a whole, but it is really a bummer when a good/competitive team gets knocked out solely because they didn’t happen to complete a detour as quick as another team
And throughout the seasons there have been plenty of instances of teams being their own worst enemy, and knocking themselves out/losing in the finale- and I find it makes for better tv

http://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/water-cannons-riot-police-out-in-force-in-harare-20171012
This was the first thing that came up for me when I googled Harare. Water Cannons from the police to clear out street vendors, 2 days ago.
Next I found an article about how Harare was the worst (or 4th worst) city in the world, written in 2013. That was fascinating, and according to the author, not his experience. I'll link it in case anyone else is interested. https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/03/15/harare-is-it-really-the-worst-city-on-earth/
Several museums, etc. This should be a great place for TAR, I'm looking forward to it. IF the Harare destination is true, or course. Wild life and bird sanctuaries as well.
-
South of Harare, I see there's the ruins of an ancient walled city from the iron age called Great Zimbabwe. It's a UNESCO site.
That for one looks like a great possible location for a task.
-
It's a UNESCO site.
UNESCO? What's UNESCO?

I hope they do two legs in this area!
Weather should be good, not rainy, but warm. Still, there are driving warnings about potholes (probably big enough to swallow a large dog or a tire) so if they do any self driving? It may not be here. In Harare itself, roads look great though.

I do, too, but that might be a slim possibility. Isn't this leg eight by now? I'm pretty sure they'll want to head out in Asia's direction around leg nine, get a leg or two there (or even three, if they don't want to have at least one South America leg before the final leg).
-
They could be connecting on the South African Airlines/Swiss Air connection via Johannesburg to Victoria Falls that would arrive at 1230pm 10/15
SA/LX 7241 ZRHJNB 2240 0910‡1
SA 40 JNBVFA 1050 1230
or this nearly identical combination to Harare:
LX 288 ZRHJNB 2240 0910‡1
SA 22 JNBHRE 1045 1215
I can't imagine they'd stay in Vic Falls since they were just there with the Reporters, but from there it's a half hour drive to Chobe, Botswana.
Okay . So we have ONE set of flights:
Prague>Zurich Swiss Air 1499
And either to Harare or Victoria Falls as above.
Now we need another set for the remaining teams. :angel

The woman was posting pictures of teams from inside the plane going to Zurich. She said in another tweet that one of the teams told her they were going to Zimbabwe. Until we get pictures or video from on the ground in Zimbabwe, this is about the best confirmation we're likely to get.

If there are 6 teams left and there has only been one NEL than this would be leg 7.
-
I've seen people talk about a missing leg, but I don't see why that has to be the case. The Prague leg was on October 12, the 12th day of the race, which is not unusual for the sixth leg to be.
-
Right. The Prague leg was the 12th.
Where were they for the next 48 hours??
I think we could have missed one during that time.
-

That's what I'm saying. Two weeks in now? Two-thirds of the race just has to be over by now, or about to be. I'm really thinking that there was another Czech Republic/Czechia leg for maybe a F6 NEL as the seventh leg, and now, this Africa leg is the eighth leg and the F6 elimination leg.

I think if we're finally having a big jump now that some form of an extended PS needs to be considered after Prague.
-
Right. The Prague leg was the 12th.

If its a jump from Prague to Zimbabwe as we expect, then it would make sense for a rest day and teams arriving on the 15th. Its common for long jumps.

Agree except no proof or evidence for a F6 NEL right? ???
Leg 6 Prague finished approx. 3PM?? 12th (using 3PM as example)
Released about 3AM 13th
Leg 7 3am to 3pm 13th
Pitstop 3PM to 3AM 14th
Gives them close to 12 hours to get back to Prague for Swiss Air flight dep 755PM 14th
This is way too much time for an extended PitStop...IMO. 48++ hours??
Can't rule it out...but regardless we have to consider that it remains a possibility.
Keep in mind we still need a second set of flights for remainder of teams...
-

considering that water cannon police stuff on the street vendors in Harare was happening on the 12th? I suck at judging times nearly half way around the world, but it's possible they took an extended rest in Prague to 1) See if things calmed down there, or 2) have production talk about / arrange alternative destinations if need be. ???
Just a thought.
-
fwiw this season is pretty much on pace with the last two (TAR 29 finished leg 6 on day 12 and had leg 7 on day 13; TAR 29 finished leg 6 on day 11 and leg 7 on day 12), hence why I suspect there's a second leg near Prague.
It would be a tight fit for Phil (unless it's a KOR where teams are held up somehow for a day) but manageable I think.
-
Didn't they start traveling on the 14th?
The swiss air flight was the 14th yes. That's what I said. 755PM
assume they want them in airport by 5 ish PM.
-
I guess it just seems rather normal to me, but I guess there could of been an extra leg then.
-
Bottom line is we don't know unless we find something. 29 had a very extended leg in Korea.
Last season ran 23 days right??, expecting about the same here, maybe +1.

I agree 48ish hours seems like a lot, but my issue with that itinerary is that pitstops nowdays seem to sit around the 18-22 hours mark at least and extended ones even longer (based off the past (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,31236.msg1156923.html#msg1156923) three (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,31690.msg1167342.html#msg1167342) seasons (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,32178.msg1197394.html#msg1197394)). ~12 hours for a pitstop is awfully short and we haven't seen it in a good while.
I guess they could always released them early on the 14th for a task and have this be a split leg alike Zimbabwe/Paris and Athens/Hanoi... potentially something else to consider.
Not saying a missing leg is impossible, just saying that precedence has me leaning towards only one leg in Prague. Thoughts?

Is this one of the Violinist?
Interesting! Looks like the tall one to me. Not sure if the backpack matches though. Can anyone else confirm or refute based on the backpack?
I'm curious about two things now: Do racers ever carry extra backpacks (empty) in case one of theirs rips, etc? Also, do racers ever change their facial hair during a race? (Start growing a beard or shave off a beard they started the race with.)

Here's the Violinists as taken in Iceland, I think carrying another extra backpack seems absurd, but maybe a pouchbag? They do shave, there's Matt Ladley from last season. There's some instances where his beard is visible and others with him a clean cut.
-
OR, maybe the Harare police were using water canons where the TAR racers were scheduled to be. Same day after all.
I think if a country having unrest was next up, producers might take a day or so to discuss the safety or practicality of the next scheduled leg of the race.
Which kind of raises an interesting question. Have they ever said if they have back up or alternate plans in case of disaster, civil unrest, or other issues? I would think they'd have a back up plan, but don't remember seeing that addressed.

No the color backpack doesn't match there's and the face structure doesn't look like them at all

There have been many instances in the past when a pre-scheduled leg was replaced due to various reasons.
Not sure if they always have alternative tasks in mind, but pretty sure they think on their feet.
It's not possible to predict which leg might have to be replaced, so if you have an extra leg planned in, say, Germany, but are in China right now and need to replace an Asian leg, it wouldn't work.
-
I just think that is more likely than another leg, they made other plans IN CASE, waited to see if all calmed down, it did, so on with it.
?
Or perhaps the scrapped the "find this street vendor" task and took a day to make a new plan. :dontgo:

Thank you for the response & info! Yes, I agree an extra full size backpack wouldn't be practical, but maybe a pouchbag or something like it? I'm still not convinced that's not a Violinist but the backpack definitely does look different, at least the part we can see. Guess time will tell! :D

Rome was probably where eliminated teams were sequestered or at least flew into. Rome has flights from many places, making it easy for eliminated teams to go there and I know Italy was used at least once before in Season 22 for sequestering.
-
Unless they have some sort of in with a member of production with really loose lips, and they feel ballsy enough to put their informants job on the line by divulging that info, I think it’s just spec presented as fact
It’s likely they’ll hold two legs there, and not unreasonable to have another W-turn, but not officially confirmed

From those travel warnings: It is against the law for civilians to wear any form of clothing made from camouflage material.
I hope production is aware of this.
I am NOT a fan of Jessica or Cody, but they should get a heads up on this rule.
-
I can't see them skipping Asia either.
This was interesting, the US warnings aren't as elaborate, but according to this https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/zimbabwe/safety-and-security busses, trains, and planes run there are not safe, and driving is very tricky too.
Kind of cool to visit a spot that has so many warnings.

I trust production would have researched that when planning the route. Last season in Zanzibar, they were not allowed to wear short clothes due to local law (it's a predominantly Islamic area)
-
Until some sort of proof is shown I'm taking all these tweets as purely speculation.
:word:
-
I hope they noticed it, I don't think it was on the USA.gov site. UK warnings were stronger and more specific, BTW they also warned about some of the game preserves/safari's not being safe, and tourists wounded or killed by animals.
Could be a fun two days!
-
I think there is a very decent chance of this leg today being a NEL.

In the last hour, the Jody fan accounts are suddenly all tweeting. Something might be shaking as we speak.

Amazing race update: Jody have landed safely in Harare, Zimbabwe #BB19 #tar30 #teamjody
well at least you found the best TAR sources! I figured you guys had the flight info already (haven't been on rff since mid day yesterday)... anyways from Johannesburg they went to Harare on a SAA flight that took off at 10:45 am and landed at 12:15pm. From an eye witness there were all 6 teams on the same flight.
Jody fans are insane and somehow find this stuff way too easily... kinda scary tbh
-
I think there is a very decent chance of this leg today being a NEL.
my wild guess is today will be a nel in the safari, and then tomorrow they will head to Victoria falls and a team will be eliminated. then off to Australia or New Zealand!
-
Victoria Falls is probably not likely. They were just there 3 seasons ago, via a different nearby airport, and it's 8 hours away.
-
I think the only thing that is news to us is that there apparently was an eyewitness on the flight into Harare
Based on my research I knew that Joburg was the strongest candidate, and the 10:45 to Harare was the strongest candidate
Love to hear more regarding that on flight sighting
-
Are we positive that 2 Legs will be held in Zimbabwe ? Cuz I believe so because every time they went to an african nation at half stage of the game, they've had 2 LEGS. Check for yourselves. Also, TAR30 is going on same trajectory as TAR20. I think we march towards Asia after Zimbabwe!
-
I am flying...are there pics of the 6 teams, or verbal confirmation of which 6?
Thanks, y'all be good and keep the info coming!!

Nah, no actual pictures of them on the ground yet.

We know 4 of the 6 (Debaters/Lifeguards/JessCody/Twins). The other 2 are a mystery right now.

Considering there was no leg in between Prague & Zimbabwe, Skiers also made it. There was a picture proving it.

Jody were sitting in front row of the plane and others were at the back. Jody must have got a headstart!

Yes. I happen to remember this exact picture from tracking Season 27.

In the comments, when asked if they knew where the teams were headed, this person left a comment that sounds like they talked to someone locally perhaps? Unsure if confirmed, but could be a clue for us as we hunt for pictures.

Someone replied to the post from this morning with that photo.
The original post was posted by Muchero Mutizwa. "We can't say Zim is boring...Amazing Race contestants racing in Zim...spotted at the airport. Season 30(our 5mins of fame:-) )"
It doesn't say that the photo is from today.

It seems way too similar to s27 plus dar es salaam was visited last season

Not from the looks of it. Southern Africa typically tends to be much more difficult than Europe to get verifiable sightings out of, you kinda have to have a tourist familiar with TAR who happens to be in the right place at the right time. Parts of Asia, too.
They're not gonna be as big on BB to be able to recognize Jody.

??? Old? or New?

Lookout Cafe outside Victoria Falls. Seems like old pic.

Sorry,just see this discussed above. good work guys!

So, having never gotten to physically see anybody, is Harare, Zimbabwe even really confirmed as a destination? What a confusing day.

I would say no.

I've been in Baltimore all day so excuse me if I missed something. Perhaps they are in Zimbabwe, perhaps they aren't. I'm just not inclined to believe that these BB fans would know more information than us when it comes to a country and continent where I doubt many people know who "Jody" are. I also can't think for the life of me when Bertrum has ever been so uncreative to visit the exact same city in back to back seasons. That they really believed a photo from 2015 was current and that the same pitstop was being used shows me they have no idea what is going on, except for the information we got from a passenger that was told their going to Zimbabwe. I sincerely appreciate the help they have provided in Europe, but when it comes to Africa, it's anyones guess.
-
We know from our airplane source that they were going to Zimbabwe. I believe her!

The source who was on the flight to Zurich was a great help.
-
Well, if they spent the leg out in some village on the plains, as they like to do in Africa, chances are rather slim we'd get anything.
-
This route could end up a lot like TAR 6: USA -> Europe (Iceland first) -> Africa for one leg -> Europe -> Africa for one leg -> Asia -> USA

There was a legit sighting in the Harare airport. They confirmed seeing 6 teams.

I saw several versions of that photo before I found the original post. The background sign was purposely covered up, one with something that purposely flamed us. The thing is by us ALL not working together, a disservice is being done especially to the Jody fans. They could have checked here with some of the more seasoned detectives. It's a shame.

The woman posted the pic on Facebook today but it was from an earlier season. It was an honest mistake on everyone's part.

Check my posts at location wishlists thread, there could be a possibly of having two legs in Southeast Asia and the other two in Australia. A reverse route of the first half of TAR 22.
Haven’t posted here in forever... I live in Australia (Melbourne) and I’m a huge Jody fan (Jessica is my fave player from recent BB seasons), so if they come here I can try to help, I‘m willing to even go to the airport and wait for them lol
-
Zimbabwe isn't dangerous, cause all of the international cricket teams go there. If it was very dangerous, they wouldn't go :groan:
Is Zimbabwe even conformed?
-
Zimbabwe is pretty confirmed, if you read above you will see the photos, tweets, and responses to someone that was on the plane with racers who was told where they were headed.
As far as it "not being dangerous" there is a difference between soccer teams playing at a stadium and "make your way (by bus, train, car) to this location as TAR racers do. Those warnings about dangers all came from the UK gov site, including the ban on an camouflage wear. So if the buses, trains, and cars are all dangerous ways to travel, that could restrict activities for racers. Ditto the warnings about poorly run and dangerous safari and animal santuary or zoo areas.

The last three consecutive seasons had Asia as the last continent and places in East Asia were the penultimate legs before finishing in the US and that may not going to do it agaijln. I could possibly Zimbabwe would give only one leg with a planned 30-32 hour extended Pit Stop in Harare before leaving to Southeast Asia.
So, we could be going to move on on a penultimate leg in the second Australian leg.
Oceanian legs at the end stages of the race is a rarity but Asian legs are very common

Once they get off the plane do they usually get a day rest? Someone just posted on the FB that they are doing 4x4 races at a Lodge today but they all arrived yesterday.
Aberfoyle Lodge maybe?

Which means there won't be much difference b/w the teams. Roadblock is usually an easy part there where they might have to get a clue from victoria fall by locating via helicopter. Detour will decide this leg! And ofcourse the zimbabwe customs too :p

We have a thread for "wishlists".
We have a thread to discuss Jody.
Please try to keep THIS thread to actual SPOILER discussion?
Thanks guys, and welcome back old friends and NEW!

Detours and roadblocks for TAR27 Zimbabwe leg included bungee jumping, balancing, walking the lion, feeding the crocs, rowing.
-
They must be in one of these lodges

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are in Zimbabwe an extra day. This seems like the set up for another of TAR's "let's build some community a school" projects.

Times getting short though...we only have another week.

There are a few more...Amalinde for one.

We now know the pitstop also. Lets get some pics!

DMH Law is at Eastgate Shopping Centre in Harare. Could the "lodge" be closer to the city?

Lifeguards and Skiers are first two teams at the pitstop. Others are still reaching!

which seems like a pretty cool location *just* to get a clue; I don't expect them to do a task at a law office but who knows?

I think there might be confusion as to "pitstop" in that thread. Another claim says First Street near Econet Shop. There is a large park nearby: Africa Unity Square.

So we know for sure 5 of the 6 remaining teams? ???
Jody
Lifeguards
Twins
Skiers
Debaters
Am I the only one hoping that Basketball are the mystery team we've been missing the last few legs? :(
:funny: Realistically though, I'm thinking it's either Violinists or Eaters? Although, with the Violinists being U-Turned, and no sign of them in Zimbabwe yet, chances are they've been eliminated? This is pure speculation btw, and there's absolutely no confirmation of this. :lol: Just one mans two cents. :spy:

It could be anything though; we've had plenty of good teams lose because of a bad taxi for example. :)
Also, do we know if those sightings are current? If so, I think this is the second Zimbabwe leg, with the first being Oct. 15 right when they landed.

Kym & Alli beat Keith & Whitney...
Dustin & Kandice and Charla & Mirna beat Rob & Amber...
So ANYTHING can happen :)

Shouldn't there have been a reset by now? Like no time advantages from leg to leg? They need to shake the order up. The skiers have been in front for like the past 4 legs. Like when they fly somewhere else, don't they all start when the plane lands?

-

so many factors. They could be good at navigation skill, chose the right detour, etc. Many teams formed an alliance in the past seasons, so helping each other is another possibility. The show has not aired yet, we don't know how well their performance in the previous legs. so we can't assume that Jody are better than skiers & lifeguards, vice versa.
-

The flight(s) to Zimbabwe would act as an equalizer for the teams, assuming they all were on the same flight.
Really good teams manage to stay in the front once the plane lands :angel

Do we know if the people who took those pictures are still there? If so, this is a pretty big lapse in time between the first two teams and the others.

Exactly what I was wondering too.???

That's pretty common in TAR.
-
Lifeguards and Skiers are first two teams at the pitstop. Others are still reaching!
Is the clue envelope the Skier on the left has important? Would she just be receiving a new one for an extended leg maybe?
-
It seems to me Lifeguards checked in before skiers
Lifeguards have ice cream in all pics, skiers seem to receive it at some point among the pictures
-

She may be just putting clues in her fanny pack, and sometimes racers don't put their clues in their fanny pace while on the way to the Pit Stop. Also, it could be they trying to use the clue to find the Pit Stop and simply didn't have time to put it (as they're in a footrace).
-
If it was keep on racing I don’t think they would hold the lifeguards there or give them ice cream. I have a feeling it’s a regular nel if anything

It almost looks like they were waiting for their penalty and decided to eat an ice cream while waiting, and then the skiers showed up and both team checked in...

Well I thought Racecar drivers and Violinists would for sure make the finals and now I am hearing that one or both of those teams could be out. Lot of things can go wrong and the order can switch constantly.
Also we don't even know the lifeguards and skiers were front of pack.. Now I am hearing they packed up after skiers and lifeguards arrived implying they could be last.
-
People on twitter are now saying the skiers and lifeguards could have been top 2 middle 2 or bottom 2

Thinking the same thing. Skiers look upset in some of the pics, but if they were last, Phil is smiling a bit too much for an elimination.
-

Olympians have to do with Greek mythology. Did you mean Olympic athletes? In that case, no, they are not Olympic athletes.
-
If they packed up the cameras after the skiers and lifeguards cam then clearly they are in last place. It would also explain why the skiers look upset in the pics. It's probably a non elimination leg though. So that means next leg will prob have a u turn. The speed bump will hinder either the lifeguards or skiers,

i dont know if this is passive aggressive but olympians also means olympic athletes. i thought i read they were in the olympics. guess not
-
I still think this is a NEL. They prob want more teams racing in Africa for the filming. The eliminated team has to fly all the way back from Africa to sequester in Europe. They prob would keep them around another leg until they all leave at the same time

I thought that from F6 eliminated teams don't go into sequester and just travel with production along the route, used as decoys and leg testers.

I think it depends on where they are location wise. Not sure if every season is the same? Could be. Either way I feel like they want more teams to film in Africa because of the thrilling tasks that they usually have. Just my opinion
-
It should be noted that the person who saw skiers/Lifeguards went to work and came back and everything was packed up..
So lifeguards skiers arent necessarly bottom OR top two.. Just the only two seen by that source. They could have placed anywhere.
-
^ Interesting. I'm guessing they were either top 2 or towards the upper pack if the guy went to work and came back to packing up.

no he didn't come back to packing up. When he came back everything was gone.
-
Oh gotcha. Who knows they clean up everything so fast
-
I still think this is a NEL. They prob want more teams racing in Africa for the filming. The eliminated team has to fly all the way back from Africa to sequester in Europe. They prob would keep them around another leg until they all leave at the same time
I thought that from F6 eliminated teams don't go into sequester and just travel with production along the route, used as decoys and leg testers.
Oh wow. I never knew that. Very cool!
-
We do know they are 2 of the last 6. Lol
-
We should say USUALLY F6 run as decoys after elim, though sometimes it’s F5 (TAR 14 Mel/Mike went to sequester in 6th)

Are mat interviews done in the order of placement?

Comments from the Muchero Mutizwa FB Post
Nyaradzo M: One of their pit stops was DMH lawyers at eastgate 🤗🤗
Thandiwe Z: Just saw them as well, their pit stop is on First street in Harare CBD just out side the econet shop
Gloria M: i spotted them over lunch outside fcb samora. probably headed to the econet pit stop.
I think the first comment is a possible task location while the other ones refer to the actual pitstop!

If skiers and lifeguards were place 5 and 6, that means we have to figure out where Jody, twins, debaters, and mystery team placed

Mystery team is an MM team ( Eaters, Indy 500, Violinists or NBA)
I don't think its NBA but everyone else is fair game.

I'd guess it's either Indy or violin. Ball went out after the leg in France of the video clip we saw of them having a speed bump.
-
Getting late in the race now, the rest of the route's going to be interesting, has to be big jumps from here on to get back to the states.
Wonder if they'd actually do a third leg in Africa for the first time in years. Still hopeful for at least one Oceania leg at the end, but the chance is lessening in the time left since at least two Asian countries per season are the norm :)

No we don't .. All we know is a person saw them at the pitstop took some photos, went back to work came back and everything was gone. We are not even sure how long they were gone for.
NO way to tell their or anyone elses placement for this leg unless we get some more photos.
All we know is that
1) Ski Girls and LIfeguards placed close to eachtoher
2) The leg if definietly over.
This could very well be a NEL too so keep that in mind.. All 6 teams could still be there for the next one.
-
I think there might be confusion as to "pitstop" in that thread. Another claim says First Street near Econet Shop.
I agree; the "Topics" shop and Greenwood Pharmacy in the photo puts them near the corner of First and Silundika.
-
What's up with the lifeguards eating an ice cream lol ?
It almost looks like they were waiting for their penalty and decided to eat an ice cream while waiting, and then the skiers showed up and both team checked in...
Sometimes esp when HOt they get a treat...coconuts, ice cream, etc
-
Yayyyy pic of Jody found at the pitstiop!!!!!
-

We haven't had decoys in years though.
-
Are mat interviews done in the order of placement?
On the Mat Interviews are done live time.
Post leg Interviews are done right after they leave Mat.
-
Can placement be deduced by looking at shadows? In the picture of Jody, there's a solid shadow over most of the mat. In the picture of lifeguards/skiers, there's sun on the mat and the shadow is "dappled" (from the trees). Not sure whether this was in the am or pm.

Where is the pic, I havent seen it
-
It looks later because there is no sun on Phil’s shirt you’re right. And Cody looks not happy

Loool you can't base anything off of codys face, he is always like that. It's too bad Jess face is blocked cause hat would say a lot more
-
He usually looks mad he looks more upset and Phil is giving those hands he does LOL
-
Lifeguards/skiers: https://twitter.com/shinigamishinz0/status/919901163906060288 (click on the photos to see the uncropped versions which show the shadow)
Jody: https://twitter.com/shinigamishinz0/status/919997809536983041
-
Cody definitely does not look happy. But he is known to be expressionless sometimes. Phil's hands seem to be saying "what happened?" Don't want to jump to any conclusions, but I'm not getting a good vibe from this picture.
-

"More upset?" :groan: I don't know how you're coming to that conclusion. There's a shadow on his face.
-

Your making lots of assumptions. Phil always uses his hands when talking.....
-
Ya I would not assume anything off those pictures, espically when it comes to trying to read Cody's facial expressions..
Hopefully the person who posted it will come forward with some more details.
-
Photo taking from different angle then the other photos. There is sun on the mat and Jess and Cody. I think everyone is jumping the gun on Cody’s face and the sun position in a picture.😜
-

Didn’t you say the skiers looked upset and made an assumption they were in 5 or 6th place a couple hours ago? Lol ok

The girls friend who took the pic, she is asking her what time she took it

Yes. It's been done before. Also look at the pics that were posted by production companies because (I would SPECULATE) those were set up shots. You must also determine direction they are facing. BUT also be aware that it's just one piece of the puzzle. There could be a team later or there could be a penalty.
-
If they packed up the cameras after the skiers and lifeguards cam then clearly they are in last place. It would also explain why the skiers look upset in the pics. It's probably a non elimination leg though. So that means next leg will prob have a u turn. The speed bump will hinder either the lifeguards or skiers,
Here.

This isn't directed solely at you, jboy224, but I wish everyone stopped making false claims when we know so little. :/
Reading through this thread has become really tough trying to find useful info.
-
Don't know him - not a fan of any BB incarnation-, but he could look that way just because they had a bad race day - what could make them think they're in last place, or just being unhappy because they had a chance to win the leg and for some mistake in a task or while traveling they lost that chance -. Wouldn't be the first time that a team looks frustated at the PS.
-
Well we do now have Picture evidence confirming the 5 teams we already pretty much knew made it there..
I am still really wanting to know who that mystery 6th team is though.

I'm just discussing what was reported. The person who was there when the skiers and lifeguards were at pit stop said the camera crews wrapped up after they checked in, iteoukd make sense they would be in last if they aren't waiting for any other teams no?????

Cody is not a smily person. Even if they came in first, he would still be stone faced.

Cody always looks “unhappy” though.. he hardly if ever smiles 😂. It’s hard trying to read him we’ve been trying to do it for four months with no luck lol. It would be better to tell if we had a picture of Jess’s face

Please show where he said they picked up the mat right after the skiers left because those were not the words. They looked pretty happy eating ice cream and it was earlier I wouldn’t be too concerned with them

He actually said shortly after they checked in production was packing up.. my friend talked to him!
-

You don't know that.
Came back from work could mean anything from 4-8 hours.
Plenty of time for other teams to arrive.
-
Guys for some actual evidence... not facial expressions of an emotionless robot... I need some help.
I think we can determine the time Cody and Jess got to the pit stop vs the other 2 based on the sun shadow.
From what I can tell Jess and Cody got there and they have much less shade, meaning the sun was higher and earlier in the day than when the other 2 got there.
Now this isn’t 100% but would also help if anyone knew what direction they were facing as well if anyone can help with that
-
And we’re basing it off of someone that was working and in and out from the spot? That’s not confirmation yet at all

jboy I understand you’re a Jody fan, but your speculations are clearly biased, not helpful and make it difficult for lurkers like myself to get a read on what’s ACTUALLY going on.
And unless he went right into work to grab a jacket and then came back out then your logic here is yet another speculation based of a bias. Just stop please
-
The person who took the pic and works right in front of where the pit stop said it lol. I don't see the problems here, this thread is for discussing the spoilers. Sorry if I came off wrong! :conf:
-
And we’re basing it off of someone that was working and in and out from the spot? That’s not confirmation yet at all
Okay he also said the later it got the crowd grew. The picture with Jody shows a smaller crowd than the picture with Skiers/Lifeguards
-
There’s one pic of Jody from one angle I wouldn’t base it off a crowd
-
Cody's face does not show different emotions. He could be the happiest guy ever right now and he would still look like that :funny:
-
Here’s what I’m basing it off.
A team that arrived with another team with more sunlight that is extremely happy smiling and eating ice cream with everyone smiling around them
Or
A team that arrived alone with less sun that does not look happy. And the pic was found later than the others.
Signs for me point to who was in the front.
-
There's way more sun on Jody....,
-
:didimiss: ^
-
Well the bulidings actually do look sunnier in Jody's picture.. Like if you look at the CABS building..
but I'm not going to base placement off the sun because I am not an expert and the pictures were taken at completely different angles.
Or facial expressions.. There could be a million reasons why Cody or ski girls look that way..
The best way to find out is to ask the source for more info.. Hopefully they will divulge some more

You can only see Cody’s face and his face literally always looks “unhappy” that’s just his face. I watched him on live feeds 24/7 barely if ever would he smile. This is his face when he won 25 K looks exactly the same lol..
-
Or simply the leg had really difficult tasks and it was a scorching hot day? That would make anybody look miserable at the end of the leg.
The weather says the high in Harare today was 93 F.

Don’t think so, the shadow differences is very noticeable, but again not certain
-
The person who posted the Jody pic said it was a pic taken by a friend from earlier on in the day..
So just because it was posted later doesn't mean it was taken later.. WE have no idea when these pics were taken.
-
Guess we will find out soon
-
Hopefully... I just want to find out who the 6th team is.. Is that too much to ask?
-

I'm with you :spy:
-
From what I can tell Jess and Cody got there and they have much less shade, meaning the sun was higher and earlier in the day than when the other 2 got there.
They are standing under a tree so there would be plenty of shade at any hour, including noon. The key difference is the solid block shadow (of a building presumably) that is covering about half of the Jody picture, and most of the mat. This is what led me to think that the skier/lifeguard picture is taken closer to noon, and the Jody picture is further away from noon (in either direction).
-
So without having any ideas how the shadows play out earlier/later in the day, I did note the store Topics as being behind the contestants in one of the pics, and Econet/ZLG bank being behind Phil's back ... if that's right, the teams were facing south (and slightly east) and phil was facing north (and slightly west) .... now who can put the rest of the puzzle together re: shadows lol! (not me!)
-
Ok I’m more convinced now.
Solar noon is at 11:41 am there. Sunset at 5:26 pm.
We don’t know time on Jody pic.
Pic of skiers/lifeguards was af about 1:30pm there time.
Much more noticeable sun and less shade on Jody pic. The time of the lifeguards pic means the sun would’ve shifted about 30 to 40 degrees and that’s why we see so much more shade.
My best guess is Jody got there an hour or more before the skiers and lifeguards.

See, this is the sort of speculation I appreciate whether I agree with it or not. Step-by-step thought process that's logical and includes research.
-
To be completely honest finishing order is pretty much irrelevant on every leg except for the last one.
If they didn't get last place and its not a NEL then we'll see them again. :groan:
Also I don't recall anyone giving the skiers/lifeguards time on the mat exactly. Was this ever proven or is it a case of 'my friend said'?

..or they were much later than the skiers and lifeguards. IMO the skiers and lifeguards look way too happy to be that far behind Jody
-
I’m actually thinking the opposite
The pic with Jody has a shadow coming in hard from a different angle
The shadow has a very clear straight edge to it, much more reminiscent of a building
Looking at that, it seems the angle of the sun is further from solar noon in their shot
We have shots of Phil by the production team, which seem closer to late morning with little to no shadow angle (shade from tree seems to come straight down), and pics with Lifeguard/Skiers having shade from tree as well
Unless Phil had been there since earlier in the morning, and the shots from the production team were from the end of the process, it seems Jody were a bit later

The skiers got there around 130pm. For them to get there later, it would be near dark. Good try tho

No, we know the skiers got there around 130pm. So the rest of your theory is disproven based on that fact

I don't think it is a good idea to judge anyones placement in a race based off of facial expressions snapped from a picture..
Besides a lot of teams are happy to just not get last (that is the main goal of each leg), some even leave proud and smiling..
-
3pm-4pm is much later than 1:30pm, and would still be plenty sunny
And clue me in on where we have official and verified timing for Skiers/Lifeguard check in time?

We’re the Twin 🔥 one of the teams who made it that you know of? Thankks

You are basing that off of when the picture was posted correct? How do you know it was posted immediately after being shot? It could have been an hour it could have been 3 hours. All we know is it was taken sometime before 1:30pm.

Twins, Debaters, Lifeguards and Jody were all on the same flight from Prague to Zurich - and headed to Zimbabwe. So far we haven't seen them in Zimbabwe, but they made that leg anyway.
-
I just had a funny thought. The skiers were not seen on that flight correct? Maybe they were on an earlier or later flight with our missing team.
-
I don't think we know when any of the photos were taken yet.

it would not be very sunny, the sun sets at 526pm.
and time is when guy took pic, and we talked with him and he had just taken the pic... also fwiw he went back an hour later and production already packed up

Exactly what I've been thinking.
I'm pretty much ignoring all speculation based on facial expressions, shadows, sunlight, etc. I simply look for hard proof of which teams are still in the race!
Their exact positions really don't matter to me because that's so very difficult to verify, even despite claims by people who took photos etc. There's often a bias attached to who-finished-in-which-position claims; it's human nature to see things in a way that are favorable for one's personal favorite(s) and call it "proof".

This picture was posted 4 hours ago when they were taking things down. You can see the shade matches when the pictures of the lifeguards and skiers were taken. The mat and phil have both left. There is also some dude selling ice cream.

Phil's shirt looks like it has hard wrinkles in the skiers and lifeguards picture but not in Jody's, it would be hard to get rid of those if he was waiting for teams to arrive. Can anyone else take a closer look at this?
-
posted a photo in live sightings of Lifeguards with Phil and without Skiers and ice cream
-
Interesting, there is a pic of only the lifeguards with Phil in other thread, I'm so confused at this point. :groan:

You can see Jessicas hands are on her hips too, like a sign of upset. They look beat. Maybe u turned? Skiers and Lifeguards seemed more refreshed looking.????

Hands on hips are also common with people who are catching their breath, the nfl players always do it...

Putting your hands on your hips does not necessarly = upset.. Some people stand that way and talk normally, or some people do it when they are exhausted from running to the pitstop.
Again I would not read into any of the body language stuff at all when it comes to pitstop photos. THey are extremely speculative and often misleading.
-
Almost impossible to determine placement in filming unless a witness make a video in which Phil audibly calls out a number to a team.
-
I watched bb19. Jessica always has her hands on her hip. It's one of her go-to poses.
-
I just had a funny thought. The skiers were not seen on that flight correct? Maybe they were on an earlier or later flight with our missing team.
Exactly what I've been thinking.
I'm pretty much ignoring all speculation based on facial expressions, shadows, sunlight, etc. I simply look for hard proof of which teams are still in the race!
Their exact positions really don't matter to me because that's so very difficult to verify, even despite claims by people who took photos etc. There's often a bias attached to who-finished-in-which-position claims; it's human nature to see things in a way that are favorable for one's personal favorite(s) and call it "proof".
Spot on!

Did more digging, sunset was 5:57pm, basically 6pm
It doesn't take the sun 3 hours to set, so mid-afternoon being bright and sunny is not only plausible, but nigh definite
Mid-afternoon for Jody sighting seems to fit with the hard angle of the shadow (seemingly coming from a building across the square), as opposed to the slighter angle we see in the production and lifeguard/skier photos
If the tree is not the thing that is shading them, despite them standing DIRECTLY UNDER it, means the timing is further away from solar noon (that's how shadows work)
Unless they showed up around 8-9am, it would seem more plausible that Jody showed up later

Comments from the Muchero Mutizwa FB Post
Nyaradzo M: One of their pit stops was DMH lawyers at eastgate 🤗🤗
Thandiwe Z: Just saw them as well, their pit stop is on First street in Harare CBD just out side the econet shop
Gloria M: i spotted them over lunch outside fcb samora. probably headed to the econet pit stop.
I think the first comment is a possible task location while the other ones refer to the actual pitstop!
Karen Chengetai Ramhewa one couple asked for me for directions today!!!hope the win!!! :)

I do tend to agree with the comment a few posts up about trying not to analyze body language and other things as hard, mostly because we don't know what's going on in the exact moment a photo is taken. For all we know, they're just tired and a little cranky, or it's really hot outside so it's affecting their mood in the exact moment that the photo is taken. For all we know, their mood improved two seconds later and they were all smiles.
If we do try to analyze the teams' body language, we could say that in the most recent photo with the Lifeguards, they have closed off body language as well (hands on hips AND crossed arms), indicating that they could be close to last. We can't really tell, though we can make logical assumptions. But I always like to go off of fact.
For example, we know that there is time between Jody's check in and the Lifeguards/Skiers' check in because the sun is most definitely aligned differently. Now, which one got there first, it's hard to tell, until we get time stamps on when each source took their picture. I know it was said above that the source of the Skiers/Lifeguard pictures said that their pic was taken at 1:30? Personally, I kind of need proof before I fully believe that. I like to have all the facts with the evidence because I know I've jumped to conclusions one too many times.
Also, hi. Long time fan of the show and new Jody fan who found this site recently.

I'm smart enough to know all that. Just thought this was the place to go for speculation, which is not based on fact.
-
*speculation alert* if the istagram pic of crew disassembling is just that (and not setting up), then the shadows from tree would be more aligned with pic with skiers/lifeguards.
-
Ok, I have a pretty big nugget here... and I'll be releasing some big news in the morning... need to keep it quiet for now, but will say something fairly shocking happened that I certainly didn't see coming. Enjoy!

That pic was a repost from IG user Naledi Productions earlier in the day, and was posted almost the same time as the other production pic with stand-ins at the mat. I hope we're not assuming it's take down based on the time reposted.

Very nice find, love videos. So one of the tasks? Thanks for this! Btw I'm new to this stuff, why do you have to wait till morning?
-
Lots of people fell for the 2015 photo, not just Jody fans. Don't be rude. :groan:
I kept myself in check, but for a while today, I assumed you were purposefully trolling us with those photos :(
I saw several versions of that photo before I found the original post. The background sign was purposely covered up, one with something that purposely flamed us. The thing is by us ALL not working together, a disservice is being done especially to the Jody fans. They could have checked here with some of the more seasoned detectives. It's a shame.
I'm the one that posted the "phil" picture on here, that was later discovered to be from a prior season. I was offline as a bad storm hit my area, knocking out our power, internet, etc after I posted it. I wasnt hiding. Sorry if this post, then lead into mistrust of some posters. That was never my intention! I was just trying to help. :(
I too saw several people had posted the picture...& I think it was an honest mistake on everyone's part. I can't speak to the other pictures that had been edited. I did see those in passing, wasn't sure what that was about or meant, so purposely posted a link here to a post that had an unedited photo.
I wasnt trolling. As a newer member to the forum (as I see many of us are) we are learning as we go. I follow several people on Twitter, Not just Jody fans, but amazing race fans, as thats what I am first and foreemost. My goal is to look for clues on any teams. I've found most of the Jody fans to be the same and post sightings and updates for other teams as well.
I hope that helps put mind's at ease. I felt horrible when I saw the follow up posts and comments of mistrust & wanted to try and clear it up!
Thanks

Definitely looks to be the skiiers competing in one side of a detour, and they both have microphones, and one of them is holding a sheet, so I wonder if the task is to memorize a traditional song and performed it for judges
-
looks like it.. Very similar to season 20 in Africa when they had to memorize a dance routine and perform it for a judge.
-
Looks like the twins. Which we already knew made it to Zimbabwe.
-
Looks like the twins. Which we already knew made it to Zimbabwe. I guess we just have to wait for morning for dangambler to reveal which leg this was on, in addition to his "shocking" news.
The twins? Are we looking at the same video? Because those 2 are women 😂
-
Also something I noticed, Cody is wearing a jacket here when it's obviously hot in Zimbabwe while he wore tshirts in freezing cold Iceland lol
-
I'm smart enough to know all that. Just thought this was the place to go for speculation, which is not based on fact.
Sorry, Bonnie, for my reply to your post! I can totally see how it comes across! I just personally feel like the Lifeguards/Skiers don't look all that relaxed, and we can't even see Jess to know how she's feeling. Also, since there's only one Jody pic to the several Lifeguards/Skiers' pic, it's really, really hard to judge. I think if we had more than one Jody pic, I'd be analyzing those in more detail.
I mean, in the most recent Lifeguards with Phil pic, they have similar closed body language (hands on hips AND crossed arms) so maybe both teams were caught in the moment when they just got to the pit stop and Phil was about to tell them their placement.
-
Also something I noticed, Cody is wearing a jacket here when it's obviously hot in Zimbabwe while he wore tshirts in freezing cold Iceland lol
I thought the same exact thing it's in the 90s in Harare and all of the racers seem to be covered up. I wonder if it is a cultural thing???
-
Just hope Jody wasn't wearing their camo stuff. As somebody pointed out yesterday, it's actually illegal there.

Even if they were that would be productions own fault for not reading into laws ahead of time to make sure their cast was prepared and they shouldn't be held accountable for being stopped if they were

Yeah, it's 100% the skiers.
Great find though! That's definitely one side of the detour.

In the Jody photo, Cody doesn't have his hat on, which he's been wearing, I think, in every other photo, so I do think they warned him about it.

I thought so at first, but wouldn't they have to cover up their entire body, not just their upper portion, then? A genuine question, because they all seem to be wearing shorts, but I did notice that they are wearing sweaters or long sleeves.

I'm interested in the sun angles details you guys are talking about.
So, I saw the name on the building in one photo, TOPICS. Googled it on maps. this link may or may not work, but you could do the same.
https://www.google.com/maps/search/TOPICS/@-17.8298856,31.0497984,154m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!2m7!3m6!1sTOPICS!2sHarare,+Zimbabwe!3s0x1931a4ee1bdddb35:0xa5143b9be5134f2f!4m2!1d31.03351!2d-17.8251657
Someone mentioned 1st street, so I went to that one, and there two trees there that could easily be the one Phil's standing under.
All that basically does if give directional location for those who are inclined to further analyze sun and shadow. I think, from the tall white building, Phil was under the tree at Econet House, mostly guessing, but also photos.
I have no idea if any of this will help, but it was cool looking around. No street view there.
-

I'm pretty sure production would have given them the heads up. Last thing production wants to do is cause friction with the local authorities. Plus the teams are an asset, so it would make sense that production would take the necessary steps to protect their assets. Imagine th PR nightmare if a team ran afoul of local authorities and ended up in the glue because production didn't tell them that it was illegal to wear camo.
-
Lots of info posted on this thread comes from Twitter accts if anyone wants to do some detective work of their own instead of waiting for "I-know-something-you-don't-knoooooow" claims. Dunno if I can post the Twitter acct names here or not so I'll err on the side of caution regarding privacy and not post them.
. Just keep in mind that the sources there sometimes post conflicting info or make assumptions that are not confirmed or are still waiting for some kind of confirmation, so take everything with a grain of salt! Happy hunting!

There are also roadblocks that check tourists' IDs. Notice, Cody wasn't wearing his camo bball cap.

Or it's finding the original source and crediting the proper person. Please, we've been over this way too many times.

The video was uploaded by Mob Graphix who is also the one who posted the pics of lifeguards and skiers
-
this isn't hunting... this is just finding someone else's work.
No idea what you mean by that. We're all hunting for clues about TAR activities of all kinds. Clues include things we find on our own and things others find and we pass along. If you know something that hasn't been posted yet, please share/pass the info on to the rest of us and credit the source (within privacy limitations). Thanks. Otherwise, keep hunting with the rest of us and good luck to all!

Completely agree. Can't imagine production not making sure all local rules are told to, and understood by, all members of all teams.
-
I've found a video--here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7MHUcjDt8A)--from Harare Gardens which seems to match the stage video; the pavement matches and the bamboo (I think it's bamboo) is also there.
-
I'm just amused that we will see CODY having to sing and dance on stage :funny:
-
Ok I’m more convinced now.
Solar noon is at 11:41 am there. Sunset at 5:26 pm.
We don’t know time on Jody pic.
Pic of skiers/lifeguards was af about 1:30pm there time.
Much more noticeable sun and less shade on Jody pic. The time of the lifeguards pic means the sun would’ve shifted about 30 to 40 degrees and that’s why we see so much more shade.
Don't know your meteorological abilities, but I hope they're right!!
My best guess is Jody got there an hour or more before the skiers and lifeguards.

Makes sense why Cody wasn’t wearing his camo hat today
-
That Harare Gardens makes sense, it's very close to the mat/Phil/racers photos. 3-4 blocks south, plus through the gardens, would make a nice little race to the end.
It looks like the stage might be at the North-Westish corner of the gardens. So, the racers would run south and slightly east.
-
You act like analyzing body language isn't a thing. There are people who make a living off it.
-

Not necessarily.
If it's a detour they didn't choose, we won't.

We're just saying a single photo is not enough to make accurate assumptions.

That's just a few blocks away from the Pitstop, too. There are several places for the other side of the Detour there or nearby - like the National Art Gallery.
-

For normal people yes but Cody isn't normal. He didn't even blink when he won $25000
There are plenty of times he smiled or laughed. I think he was shocked about AFP. Besides, he was more excited to see Jess.
-

Yes, as I said just above, about a 7-8 city block run to the end if I'm right about the stage location. Many things in that park as well, an unusual sculpture garden which would have been a great place for a clue "find the wooden whatever, etc." There is also a pool, but no one looks wet, and that would be an odd task in African anyway.
-
Also everyone completely forgot about the other 3 teams as Jody, Lifeguards and skiers are the only ones were talking about. How did everyone else place 😛
-
We know they are safe so :groan:
-
We know they are safe so :groan:
How do we know that? We don't even know who one of the teams are or where Skii girls, Lifeguards or Jody placed.
-
unacceptable post deleted
-
Jody
-
We know they are safe so :groan:
No, WE don't know who is safe yet.
You are welcome to believe whatever you want, but so far there has been no proof to indicate anybody besides the lifeguards not being last.
Jody may be safe if the shadow discussion is accurate, but all the others - NOT known.
-
By evidence posted, the safest team is the lifeguards. From the positioning of the buildings around the pitstop, I now firmly believe that the Jody pic was in the afternoon, while the other pics were around noontime.
We still have no sightings of the twins or the debaters, or any 6th or 7th team that might have made this leg.
-
Bragging/boasting about info has not been shared is unacceptable. DO not do it again.
-
There is either very young people posting here or just very opinionated. For one, I never referenced Cody’s lack of smile. I know that’s a common disposition. I was commenting on combination of both of them, their posture, “expression” and physical body posture as compared to lifeguards and skiers who seemed lighter and less frustrated looking. If Jody came in before them, then my GUESS was wrong. But you just make people not want to even comment cause you know so much more.

evidence posted shows that the lifeguards and skiers were last to the pitstop. why else would the camera crew pack up after they were done at the mat?
-
The lifeguards could have a plenalty which could be a reason they are on the matt with the Skiers. Just a thought.

Ive been reading this forum for years, always impressed with the detective abilities and how information is found. Ive also always been impressed on how everyone works together to try and figure things out. I have to say Im a bit perplexed at this sudden secrecy and need to be so cryptic.
This has always been collaborative. No one "hid" anything or needed to withhold info. It was a group of people working together. What is the sudden need for secrecy. Not just secrecy, but the need to tell people you know something that others don't? Seems off to me and not what , I thought, this board was about.
Anyway, its the first time that I was prompted to post. But if I dont post again, thank you all for years of fun following your investigative work. Its always made TAR that much more fun for me.

That's not evident. The person reported that he saw those 2 teams, came back later, and everything was packed up. Doesn't tell us whether a team or more checked in during the time he wasnt there.

I think it's the opposite way around, dan. :tup: You may know, we don't.
Or you just relate to a different 'we' that the entire of RFF does.
Feel free to disclose whatever you wish, but do not make assumptions based on what WE do not know.

There is a lot more sun glare (like evening or early morning) in the Jody picture, Less glare in the skiiers/ lifeguards pic, like closer to noon, but I have been wrong before and shall be again.
-
Just a thought. Maybe the thing that cannot be disclosed now is the twist Phil mentioned at the start. Something about fear of heights will cause a team not to be able to reach the finish line! Anxious to see what is “breaking news” that can only be disclosed tomorrow morning!
-
Just like it was known there were only 8 teams in Morocco, even though there were 9?
Just like it was known Jody won the Express Pass on Leg 1, despite no known evidence?
Just like it’s been known that Jody has been at the front of the pack all season, despite little to no concrete evidence showing this?
I’m sorry, but I’m gonna be skeptical of stated “info” if it’s not backed up with evidence
So far, the unsupported “facts,” have had a poor track record of actually being accurate
But sure, we’re in the dark, and only a select few have supreme knowledge of what’s going on :res:
-
So we have a pic of the lifeguards (only) with Phil. We also have a pic of the lifeguards and the skiers with Phil, with the lifeguards eating ice cream. Has Phil ever invited a checked-in team to stand with the next team that arrives, when there were still teams to arrive ?
Would the lifeguards finish their mat interview and then go off for ice cream or would the ice cream be brought to them while still on the mat, and the next team (skiers) arrive on the mat ? Or did the skiers mention to Phil how close they are (or working) with the lifeguards and Phil then invited the lifeguards (standing nearby) to join the skiers on the mat ?
-
Well when a team has a penalty (for either missing a clue or not finishing a task) they have to stick around and wait until the time elapses for them to check in..
NOt saying that happened but that is a reason for teams to stick around at the pitstop for a while.
-
I'm thinking the ice cream is given to the teams at the pit stop for them to enjoy while interviewing at the mat
Teams have checked in while another team was standing on the mat in the past
-
Just like it was known Jody won the Express Pass on Leg 1, despite it not featuring the last two seasons?
The last two seasons featured an Express Pass.

The lifeguards were probably still chatting with Phil when the skiers arrived. Teams are not instructed to leave the mat and then come back. Not once that I remember.
The ice cream was probably just offered to teams after checking in.
Pure spec, but I am inclined to think the skiers were not last. Unless we have a very tight footrace, the last team is usually allowed to check in alone.

Teams do not stand at the mat with Phil while waiting out penalties, though.

It could be a bad picture, but I thought it looked more like atmospheric haze from severe heat. For sure the shadow is longer - from the building and little or no dappled shade from leaves. It could still mean before or after. UGH.

I too have been here & reading since 2009 & was always able to enjoy all your hard word work and looked forward to the airing of the show. Never once have I posted so today is my first and most likely my last. This year is so different. Big Brother fans are only concerned with Jody and are very pushy in case you have not noticed. Even the detectives on the board this season seem to enjoy in the "I know something you don't know". Oh well. Thanks for all the years past & maybe next season it will get back to normal.

They weren’t featured in the typical leg 1 prize way, just simplified my original post

Looking at the Harare photo background details and comparing to a map... the Topics store is NNW of the mat and the Batanai Gardens building is South of Phil.
This supports that Phil would be standing on First St., facing North at the mat and the racers facing south. The sun only rises and sets in one direction. More shade would then be earlier in the day.
Anyway, that's my speculation and method of logic.

Welcome to RFF!

the sun and shadow theory isn't reliable at all especially with things such as clouds in the sky

I posted the google earth map earlier. I think Phil had his back to Econet House, so he would be facing slightly Northwest, we see the street in front of him. The park is about 3-4 blocks northwest of Econet House, and I think the bandstand thing is in the Northwest corner of that park.

Ive been reading this forum for years, always impressed with the detective abilities and how information is found. Ive also always been impressed on how everyone works together to try and figure things out. I have to say Im a bit perplexed at this sudden secrecy and need to be so cryptic.
This has always been collaborative. No one "hid" anything or needed to withhold info. It was a group of people working together. What is the sudden need for secrecy. Not just secrecy, but the need to tell people you know something that others don't? Seems off to me and not what , I thought, this board was about.
Anyway, its the first time that I was prompted to post. But if I dont post again, thank you all for years of fun following your investigative work. Its always made TAR that much more fun for me.
I too have been here & reading since 2009 & was always able to enjoy all your hard word work and looked forward to the airing of the show. Never once have I posted so today is my first and most likely my last. This year is so different. Big Brother fans are only concerned with Jody and are very pushy in case you have not noticed. Even the detectives on the board this season seem to enjoy in the "I know something you don't know". Oh well. Thanks for all the years past & maybe next season it will get back to normal.
I'm willing to cut Dan a little slack. There have been occasions in the past where information has been held back for a day or two. I've done it. Usually it involved information about the next leg or from a sensitive source. I just kept my mouth shut until the time was right or maybe just gave a very vague hint. I didn't go to the "I've got a big secret" route but different styles for different people. I can wait until tomorrow. I am a bit surprised as so far as I haven't seen this level of restraint from the Jody fans.
-
Not sure if this is anything worth mentioning, so please delete if it doesn't belong.
That said, one of the frequent Twitter sources is back online so maybe there will be some confirmed news soon. Not trying to tease anyone just trying to provide some info that better detective than I might be able to use!
Also, what exactly IS the policy about giving out Twitter handles that people looking for info may want to follow? Thanks! Sorry for being such a newbie pain!!!!
I've always just copied and pasted any relevant tweets into the Live Sightings thread (or here). Be sure to include their twitter ID and the date and time it was posted. Don't feel bad about asking questions. We have our own little culture and ways of doing things. It's appreciated that you want to do things right. I still make mistakes about posting at times, so don't feel too bad about mistakes. Oh, Facebook sightings should probably be sent to Georgiapeach first. Rules are a little different for Facebook.
The only thing that has given me some concern this season is that any tweet that gets posted soon gets 10 or more tweets to the person demanding information about Jody and I expect that has turned off some witnesses. Really, if 1 or 2 people have asked, then there's no need for others to do so.

Thanks for thinking of the map - I used a car ride map to help locate the stores in the photos. First street is not truly set as north - south.
-
I give the Jody team props for finding and tweeting many of the spoilers we've had this season, but they almost never credit the source of the original photo or it's the tweet of a friend who has a friend. It's great that they are finding so much, but I do wish they would credit the person.
Yeah, I saw that first street is slightly North West, which is why I said "ish" in the original post. I give up at sun paths though!

Jumping into this because I'm probably one of the referred "Even the detectives on the board this season seem to enjoy in the "I know something you don't know"", as I was the one who the previous day knew that teams were going to race on Saint Tropez. As Plaidmoon explained, it was one of those ocasions where info must be kept in the dark due to involve production crew - what is a strict policy on the forum as it happened before that crew had lost their jobs for revealing info about the race not matter if it was on purpose or not - and all I could do was giving a hint about the posibility of the teams going to that area. So in no way I was playing that card. In fact, if Dan source is somehow related to production I'm the first one supporting the decision of not posting anything about it until reaching the proper time to do it.
-
If this "intel" has anything to do with the next destination (just my guess), yes, don't want to know until then. Would rather not risk another cool undervisited place being subsitituted with the umpteenth visit to China :lol:
Another reason to not to release destinations early: I did that once many seasons back a couple of days ahead of time and heard later that the people hired locally were interrogated and had to sign additional nondisclosure forms. I hope none of them got fired. I'd be sick about that.
-
Someone here (Walkingpneumonia?) has some good software that can look at the location, the sun angles and the shadows and determine when a picture has been taken in a 10-15 minute window. I imagine he's been busy but hopefully he can analyze some of these pictures eventually. It really clears up a lot of mysteries.
-
don't know anything about the next leg yet... but I was looking at flights out of johannesbirg tomorrow and only 3 possible locations that seem to make sense...
Dubai at 1030
hong kong at 1230
singapore at 145
I think Hong Kong or Singapore may be more likely

This is my concern. So if I find news on Twitter, how do I report it AND give credit without risking the source getting swamped with follow up questions? Help?!?
-
I certainly understand and applaud restraint if it would get someone in trouble, production or local.
If it's about something that many people could easily know though? Like who was racing, a task, or who won or was eliminated? Then I don't understand. There are too many witnesses at the mat and at many tasks, the information could come from anyone, not just the 'source.'
"I was told by someone I trust that the Humbugs were first" or "Happenstanders were eliminated." Lots of witnesses at many tasks, in airports, and at the finish line of many legs, including this one.
-
I completely understand needing to keep information quiet. I actually would expect it. It might just be my misperceptions but it was just starting to feel like a competition about who knows more than another. Of course information must be kept Under wraps at time , but it just felt a bit different than previous years.
Investigate on detectives, I look forward to more discoveries.
-
Thank you dan! :)
I appreciate that you shared this.
Like the couple of new people posted, RFF prides itself on teamwork and free flow of information, unless necessary to be withheld.
The flights are definitely interesting, but bear in mind that there needs to be enough time for them to have a pit stop, and if filming finished near sunset, I don't think teams would be able to make those connections. Are there even suitable flights from Harare to Johannesburg to catch those flights?
And we can't rule out that another airport other than Johannesburg could be chosen as a connection (i.e. no Jburg at all or even Harambe > Jburg > 2nd connection > Leg destination)
EDIT: I'm glad you're here, itsjustme11 :waves: Join in on the discussion more often!

I can confirm that the detectives do withhold information at times. It's mainly for safety reasons. We don't want to cost someone their job or , in some cases, the source asks us to not share the info.
It all depends but we want to make sure we aren't jeopardizing anyone's life or reputation with any info we put out so we have to be careful with what gets shared.

I am new this season...although I've been an amazing race fan for years. I'm also disappointed by how many people are acting...or reacting to posts on here.
It's to the point that some people seem to not care for Team Jody at all...and react as though all they want to do is disprove any posting that references this team. Other people are so Pro Team Jody that they get upset with anything that might contradict what they have posted.
And then you have the majority of us...people that are just fans...trying to have fun..look for clues and trying to work with each other to make educated, estimated, deductions on what's happening in the race.
The problem is...that this negativity is carrying over and making it hard for anyone to post a question...a clue...an opion..an educated guess..without major fallout in return. Or, having to sift through the back and forth, to try and figure out what's going on. Thats not fun for anyone and I see a lot of it happening.
Can we all remember, that regardless of who our favorite team is ( or our least favorite team ) that this forum about all teams in the race. The best way for us to get good, conclusive information about how EACH OF OUR favorite teams is doing in the race, is to piece the clues together as we get them and by everyone being inclusive with the clues we find.
And...try to show some patience for some of the newer, greener fans. I've seen people just making an innocent comment about their favorite team..or just general game chat, and suddenly getting sarcastic, undeserving comments back.
If we put our heads together, we can learn a lot! Ive been AMAZED by the insight Peach & the other unbiased veteran detectives have been able to glean from something that at first seemed like an insigificant clue. Their years of experience in chasing the Amazing Race cant be duplicated.
If you have clues or sources, but don't share the details...well..the rest of us can't take that as 100% fact/proof of something..even if we might want to. Share the details, so we can all be excited together. :) let's work together, not assume facts not in evidence, be respectful of each other's opinions ( even when they differ from our opinion ) to try and get more out of each and every clue we get.
Perfect example today of the pictures and using the theory of analyzing sunlight/lighting/shadows, etc, to help try & establish times each team at the mat. Some people did great...unbiased research about sourounding businesses, direction they faced, etc try and help so we could use this info, compare against the direction their shadows fell, etc...and it ended up getting buried in the back and forth banter. Too bad we couldn't have worked together more to see if we could have nailed this down better.

they have flights from Harare to Johannesburg this morning, and would be there well in time for any of those flights

Our main guideline in years past is that if you see another RFF detective on duty, to let them handle it. But this poses new challenges this year, what with new members and all the Jody fans out there. This is also the underlying problem in the "Us" vs "Them" mentality or who got what info first. There is no point in anyone asking a source for info even a second time let alone 8 or 12 times like I've seen.
-
Anyway. I can’t wait to find out the significance of the ice cream LOL I have never seen that st a pit stop before. Which season did they get the coconuts?
-
No, we know the skiers got there around 130pm. So the rest of your theory is disproven based on that fact
If you are going to make statements like this, You MUST include why/how you know. Unsupported statements don't fly well here.

18, which begs the question, could the ice cream be from the greeter? :lol:

This picture was posted 4 hours ago when they were taking things down. You can see the shade matches when the pictures of the lifeguards and skiers were taken. The mat and phil have both left. There is also some dude selling ice cream.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaUTPDclqdd/?taken-by=exploreharare
You cannot say that.
Time posted has ZERO to do with time TAKEN.
You do not know that they are taking down, they could be setting up.
Phil could not have arrived yet VS having left.
Unless the owner of the photo has given the explanation, then this is pure SPEC and MUST be expressesd as such.
ALL OF YOU MUST STOP STATING UNKNOWN INFO AS FACT WITHOUT PROOF>
RFF DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!! :groan:

Lots of people fell for the 2015 photo, not just Jody fans. Don't be rude. :groan:
I kept myself in check, but for a while today, I assumed you were purposefully trolling us with those photos :(
I saw several versions of that photo before I found the original post. The background sign was purposely covered up, one with something that purposely flamed us. The thing is by us ALL not working together, a disservice is being done especially to the Jody fans. They could have checked here with some of the more seasoned detectives. It's a shame.
I'm the one that posted the "phil" picture on here, that was later discovered to be from a prior season. I was offline as a bad storm hit my area, knocking out our power, internet, etc after I posted it. I wasnt hiding. Sorry if this post, then lead into mistrust of some posters. That was never my intention! I was just trying to help. :(
I too saw several people had posted the picture...& I think it was an honest mistake on everyone's part. I can't speak to the other pictures that had been edited. I did see those in passing, wasn't sure what that was about or meant, so purposely posted a link here to a post that had an unedited photo.
I wasnt trolling. As a newer member to the forum (as I see many of us are) we are learning as we go. I follow several people on Twitter, Not just Jody fans, but amazing race fans, as thats what I am first and foreemost. My goal is to look for clues on any teams. I've found most of the Jody fans to be the same and post sightings and updates for other teams as well.
I hope that helps put mind's at ease. I felt horrible when I saw the follow up posts and comments of mistrust & wanted to try and clear it up!
Thanks
Thanks Kitty! No worries, we all have made mistakes, I know I have and do!!! Very much appreciate your clearing it up!

This is so neat! Regardless of what it might help to prove in terms of when each team may have arrived, i think this kind of stuff is so interesting and is hard to argue against. LOL Hopefully...whomever has this know-how can check out the pictures and put their knowledge to work.

Looking at the Harare photo background details and comparing to a map... the Topics store is NNW of the mat and the Batanai Gardens building is South of Phil.
This supports that Phil would be standing on First St., facing North at the mat and the racers facing south. The sun only rises and sets in one direction. More shade would then be earlier in the day.
Anyway, that's my speculation and method of logic.
I posted the google earth map earlier. I think Phil had his back to Econet House, so he would be facing slightly Northwest, we see the street in front of him. The park is about 3-4 blocks northwest of Econet House, and I think the bandstand thing is in the Northwest corner of that park.

eta, checked another photo and in that one he does seem to be facing north, in the shadow of the building to his right (east)
Great job by both of you, taking the time to research this in more detail! Hopefully others with the know-how can use this to give us a better time estimate, if we don't end up hearing back with times from the original photo takers. Kudos!!
-
In the area of pure speculation, do we really think TAR would go all the way to southern Africa and keep them only in an area that looks like any big city anywhere in the world? I feel like, and hope, we've missed something. Singing in a lovely city park and a pit stop downtown across from offices and a clothing store?
-

Yeah, I saw that first street is slightly North West, which is why I said "ish" in the original post. I give up at sun paths though!
I'm wondering if this is because of what someone was just mentioning about sources getting bombarded with well-wishing, good intended fans..inundating them with back to back questions...until they seem to go into hibernation until the coast is clear? We've all seen this while we are out being detectives...and then let out a deep sigh. They could be trying to prevent this by instead working with them 1 on 1? Perhaps?

Today was spent in and around the town center, so I'm speculating that teams will be going somewhere scenic tomorrow to do some sort of adrenaline-inducing task(s).

Just hope Jody wasn't wearing their camo stuff. As somebody pointed out yesterday, it's actually illegal there.
I'm pretty sure production would have given them the heads up. Last thing production wants to do is cause friction with the local authorities. Plus the teams are an asset, so it would make sense that production would take the necessary steps to protect their assets. Imagine th PR nightmare if a team ran afoul of local authorities and ended up in the glue because production didn't tell them that it was illegal to wear camo.
Completely agree. Can't imagine production not making sure all local rules are told to, and understood by, all members of all teams.
I was relieved to see that they weren't wearing camo as well, after someone discovered this was against the law here! I would never have thought this might be a law I any if the countries the team visited. I'm sure it made their tasks harder, if they are used to wearing baseball hats to block the sun and couldn't today. This is the only team we've seen wearing anything with camo in it this season, isn't It?

I'm just amused that we will see CODY having to sing and dance on stage :funny:
Agreed...lol. if they ended up doing this task...Cody would be amusing to watch. Our luck...they chose the other tadk...hahaha. I bet this will be a very funny episode to see many of the teams doing this task. Hahaha. Now I really can't wait for the episodes to start airing! This is my first season, playing detective on the backend. It is going to be so much fun to watch each week play out TV. Comparing notes on what we think happened..and what really happens!!
-
Anyway. I can’t wait to find out the significance of the ice cream LOL I have never seen that st a pit stop before. Which season did they get the coconuts?
That would be S16, Seychelles?

To sum everything up :
1) Lifeguards reached before Skiers.
2) Lifeguards & Skiers reached at around 1:30 pm (zmb time) according to a source.
3) Jody's pic also propped up later, but clearly has more sunlight.
4) Lifeguards & Skiers pic have more shade.
5) Icecream sellers are usually available when there's shade. We see Lifeguards/Skiers having icecream but not Jody
6) Phil's shirt is also more wrinkled in Skiers/Lifeguards pic than in Jody's
7) Production packed up soon (in an hour according to a source) after Skiers/Lifeguards pic was taken
8) Jody have both hands on their hips
9) Points 2,3,4,5,6,7 are proving that no way Jody reached last, and also, no way Lifeguards/Skiers reached before Jody
10) Also Jody may not have been 1st/2nd from the looks of their body language. So I'll speculate that they would've reached at 3rd/4th position
11) Skiers will get a speed bump for next leg.
12) This leg looks like NEL since both skiers & lifeguards were offered ice cream and Phil was smiling
13) The mystery team is doing better than lifeguards & skiers. We know for sure that its a male-male team.
14) Next leg can be the 2nd and final Double U-Turn leg
Rankings for Leg 7 I expect, based on above points :
1/2) Twins/Debaters
3/4) Jody/Mystery team
5) Lifeguards
6) Skiers

My analysis of the shadows:
In the photos of the skiers and lifeguards, the shadow of the tree is almost directly below the tree itself. There is also a shadow in one of the pics of a piece of equipment (I think it's a reflector for lighting) that casts a rectangular shadow directly beneath the equipment. This leads me to believe that these pictures were taken around noontime.
In the photo of Jody, there is a definite shadow across what we know (or at least strongly believe) to be the South side of the mat. From the placement of the buildings and the mat, it is my opinion that the buildings on the East side of the street would cast a shadow on the North side of the mat, and that the building on the West side of the street would cast a shadow from the South. Remember, the sun is in the Northern sky in Harare.
My conclusion, therefore, is that the Jody mat pics were taken after noon.

My guess is either Jody or Ski girls got last but it was a NEL..

dangambler is it tomorrow for you yet, can you tell us the exciting news :D :D

Okay everyone.
This thread has gotten WAY OFF TOPIC today, except for the valiant souls among you trying to DISCUSS THE SPOILERS (and shadows!), which is what this thread is for.(Big thanks to all of you!)
So let me just go over a few BASICS here.
This thread is for DISCUSSION OF SPOILERS. Not discussion of each other, other spoilers, other sites, bragging about info you have that can't be shared.
Our basic guidelines are what is in my signature (respect for each other), a true curiosity about every detail of the race, and "detecting" work that builds upon a collaboration with each other's info.
Our guidelines on posting and sharing are in the first post of the spoiler board and hopefully have been read by you ALL. Production is tricky...so ask before posting if you have any doubts.
ALL racers are respected here. I have no idea where this Jody fans against the world attitude began. I for one could care less that they were on BB. What I DO care about is that they are TAR racers now, and as part of our TARFamily will be given the same courtesy and respect as any other racer. Comments and insight on their past and how it may reflect game play here add depth to the discussion and are welcomed.
I was off line for several hours this evening and returned to a thread filled with off topic chatter, personal comments and attacks on others, unsourced bragging, and worst of all, disappointment with RFF from many of our long term members. Trust me, I share this frustration and disappointment. The majority of the last 5 pages here ARE not what we are here for which is to question/evaluate/discuss/ and hopefully figure out every bit of the TAR wonders that we can. Terrifically proud of our TAR team!
So as a reminder:
#1) RESPECT EACH OTHER. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS.
#2) We love anyone who can bring and share info with us all. If you can, wonderful! This is not a competition, it is a collaboration with all our valued members. Every detail is cherished and evaluated. The search, the research and the conclusions our whole team makes are the fun!
#3) Please stay ON TOPIC, which is DISCUSSION OF SPOILERS.
And Finally...someone(S) owes me a GIANT :margarita: and a LARGE bottle of Advil.
We are going back to basics starting NOW.
Be kind to each other. This is supposed to be FUN.
So bring your curiosity, your insights, your finds. And working together we can make this another wonderful season! :hrt:

I wouldn't put too much significance to the ice cream. It was a warm day, 93F (34C) at the Harare airport. Fortunately, it wasn"t humid. I imagine that after working hard and running around in the hot sun, ice cream would be a welcome and refreshing treat. I could see a connection to the greeter that has been suggested. I sure hope they didn't send everybody to Zimbabwe and have the teams make ice cream.

In the picture I posted in sightings you can see an ice cream cart with a guy chilling on the side. Maybe the man just felt nice.

Looks like we have a Twin sighting thanks to new member yankeeshan!

Thanks for all your help with the verification and also for Fossil-Racer's help in posting the photos I found on Twitter. Looking forward to contributing after many years as a lurker.

Hi long time lurker but first time poster, really appreciate what you guys do here for fans :)
So I was trying to take a look at the shadows from the pic of the Surfers compared to the one of Jess and Cody.
Here's a little graphic I quickly did up from an image of the intersection off of Google maps...
(https://i.imgur.com/RnMJIvK.png)
The A is the Topics, the B is the Cabo/Capo building seen behind Jess and Cody, and the C is approximately where the Zimbabwe Bank seen behind Phil would be. The red line represents a guess at the angle of the mat with Phil facing towards B.
Anyway, in the picture with the Surfers, the cameraman's shadow lines up with the angle of the mat, whereas in Jess and Cody's pic it a building's shadow (probably C) is going across the mat. This suggests Surfers arrived before noon while Jess/Cody arrived in the afternoon, considering that in the Southern Hemisphere after the spring equinox the sun rises and sets to the south of due east. Assuming the Surfers/Skiers arrived close together, both would be ahead of Jess/Cody.
Could be completely off-base, but figured I'd give a crack at it :)
-
Awesome Thanks!! Will try to drag our NASA genius in the morning to help check in on this too! Thank you very much!!
-
There is one picture that shows "Batanai Gardens" behind Phil. This building is located further down First streeet at the next intersection (Jason Moyo Ave) below the picture above.
This would place the pitstop underneath the tree on First St and not as depicted under the tree on George Silundika Ave.

I was wondering what that was... The shadows make a lot more sense that way also to line up with the mat.
-
After reading the discussion about shadows and sadly realizing that I have forgotten most of the celestial navigation that I learned, I came across this site that might be of help to someone.
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.php
I hope someone can apply this information to the map information to possibly determine shadow directions and times. I think the direction would be azimuth + 180 degrees. (minus 360 if > 360)

Ignore the posted table. I did not input the lat and long as needed. This should be better.

Here is another site that the detectives may want to try out.
http://www.findmyshadow.com/
-
Do we think we will have a second leg in Zimbabwe?
-
YES. Visiting an african nation for just one leg seems absurd to even begin with. 2 legs here, then they'll move to asia for the rest
-
Based on the above table my estimates for shadow angles.
-
YES. Visiting an african nation for just one leg seems absurd to even begin with. 2 legs here, then they'll move to asia for the rest
They only did a leg in Morocco.
-

But if this is NEL as is being speculated, then another leg will happen here.
-
" don't know anything about the next leg yet... but I was looking at flights out of johannesbirg tomorrow and only 3 possible locations that seem to make sense...
Dubai at 1030
hong kong at 1230
singapore at 145
I think Hong Kong or Singapore may be more likely "
Which means after we are done with zimbabwe with possibly 2 legs, we MIGHT move to asia and hongkong, singapore are the topmost countries to be visited!!
-
SPECULATION!
That could probably an extended pit stop in Harare before heading towards Southeast Asia for the next leg. A Speed Bump will be seen there.
Hong Kong or Singapore are probable connections towards on flights to Southeast Asia. Thailand or Cambodia perhaps.
-
Dan it's morning we r waiting :bunny :conf:
Daaaaan it’s morning!!! C’mon C’mon... give us that nugget!🔥
You two should go to the top of this page and read what Georgiapeach had to say about recent behavior. Obviously you haven't read it.
If Dan has something to share, he'll do so when he's ready. Until then, posts like the above are just noise and an irritant to everyone. It's also more stuff to wade through if you are trying to find something posted earlier.
-
The photo of the mat at the pitstop from the person who saw the twins is practically completely shaded...
There was more sun on the mat in the photos with the other people. I guess it doesn't really help though as it could mean they came earlier before the sun was completely up or later when it was going down, but interesting to note.
-
Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore are good connection countries which opens up a lot of possibilities as to where they are headed next. They'll most likely go to Southeast Asia if they decided to connect via Hong Kong and Singapore.
-
In the picture of the twins. They guy in front of them with a baseball cap looking like he’s chatting with a few women. Could it be another racer? Or maybe just crew.

Johannesburg airport did provide daily flights to Perth (SAA) and Sydney (Qantas except Wednesday) which means we might not rule out Australia completely yet, but yeah a big jump to Southeast Asia or East Asia are most likely gonna happen.

I believe he might have to much hair to be one of the racers.

They don't look worried at all in that pic if there on their way to the pit stop

A Jody fan on Twitter said they were told by a witness that Jody was in second place and they were upset they missed first place by a couple seconds
(Needs a source or the info is only hearsay...)

I would agree they look laid back; my guess is this is after the arrival at pit stop - figuring they wouldn't be so causal and not running if they were en route
-
The twins were in 1st.
(Useless with a source, please do not post without sources, thank you)
-
Witness that took the Jody ice cream pic said they were right behind the twins , so that means twins won first Jody second, third ??? Fourth??? Fifth and sixth must be skiers and lifeguards
(useless info without a source, see above)
-
AMAZING 🔥😄 Great to see this news! So proud of my cousins!
-
Well I am going to chose to believe a picture and info from a source that was there over shadow/sun theories so we will roll with this..
Hopefully we can find out a few more things.
1)Who the mystery 6th m/m team is
2) Who got last
3) If this was a non elim leg.
-
I'm starting to wonder if we are missing legs here and are down to the final 4... the last few seasons have run around 21 days or so so it's feasible that they will be back in the US as early as Monday next week.
Meaning we've only got 6 days to go and probably only 1 more destination.

We seen the other teams on the flight. There at least 6 teams this is still leg 7 or possibly 8. Still a lot of time to go
-
In the picture you can see the back of the twin when Jody is walking away.
-
So, the teams we are missing in last pit stop are the Debaters and a mystery team still to be determined?

Think so because debaters were on the flight and the mystery team LOL supposedly. Hope so

Those are the two, but it doesn't necessarly mean they were behind everyone they could have been inbetween Twins/Jody and Lifeguards/Ski girls.

"Six teams of two were tasked to sing "Pasi Pano Pane Zviedzo".
SO that confirms it 6 teams were doing this leg.
-
Ya.. And a possible NEL hopefully. Feel like it has to be soon so I am guessing it was this one in my opinion

Seems plausible to me! we have had no sighting of the Male?male teams in a few days....but what has happened to the debaters?

Yes, they are the twin EMT Firefighters, Eric and Daniel Guiffreda. I knew they had to leave and couldn’t say what was up but I thought it was to do with the military. So surprised when I saw them in a photo for The Amazing Race standing next to B.B. STARS

Hang on guys. Chateau NASA will be on the shadow job soon! :yess:

With 7 legs have done finished, as leg 8 has not begun yet. It's 67 pages and nearly 3 weeks since the thread was created, it made super fast.
All due to Jody Stans. Thank You :)
All due to EVERYONE. Thank you ALL.
-
What is everyones best guess on who the 6th team is?? I have no clue LOL :bunny
-
I think least likely is NBA.
We saw violinists most recently in the last leg but we also know they got u turned so there is also a decent chance they got eliminated last leg.
so it could be racecar drivers or eaters.
If I had to guess I would say race car drivers but it could be violinists or eaters.
-
I've got a personal interest in the race car drivers so I'm hoping its them }:>
-
I wonder if there was a team in back of the violinists that they couldve used the double u turn for and we would all be in for a surprise

We know that Debaters are still in the race, but a local who posted to Facebook saying he witnessed the filming said he saw them. He doesn't know what place they were in, said he saw them some time between 1 - 2 o' clock (huge window). He also said it was one of the hottest days there, so I wouldn't count on the ice cream have any significant role in the race.
-
Im still not convinced, based on whats been posted, that its 100% the twins 1st and Jody 2nd. Can we be sure it wasn't Skiers/Lifeguards 1& 2 and later, Twins/Jody? Have I missed any additional confirmation?
-
Someone was in crutches that guy said?
-
Why do I think that a second Czechia leg is suddenly more likely?
All the great shadow analysis (which I will NOT be helping with, I learned my lesson during TAR 26 :groan:) made me realize there's FOUR DAYS between the pit stops in Prague and Harare. Even if there's an extended Pit Stop after Prague teams would still get to Harare on Oct. 15 right before sunset. Theories-
(1) production, not wanting to race in Harare at night, forced teams somewhere overnight to start racing on Oct. 16
(2) production DID have a leg in Zimbabwe the night of Oct. 15, with a second leg on Oct. 16
(3) production had a leg somewhere in Czechia on Oct. 13 and Phil bolted for Zimbabwe soon after
I would LOVE (2) but I think safety/filming concerns would make (3) the most likely option.
-
Can you explain those screenshots because there are parts of the conversation that are missing
-
Someone was in crutches that guy said?
He said locals were crowding to watch and one had crutches. The only info of note from the chat is what's included.

Proof that it was the Twins that reached the Pitstop at 1st place beating Jody by seconds. Thats why they had "hands on their hips" lol

Being the cynic that I am, isn't there a possibility that this person THINKS they were in 1st and 2nd and might have not been there if/when Skiers/Lifeguards came through earlier?
-
The lady said I SUPPOSE its because they missed first place because they looked disappointed. She was trying to put two and two together. That's not a definite confirmation.

One of the twins back are in the picture of Jess and Cody with the ice cream so they definitely were right near eachother.

No because I showed her their pics also. She didn't see any team come before the twins and jody. Then she left so doesn't know about later rankings. You may choose to be highly skeptic but we should also work with what we have!
-
I know they were close together but that lady is assuming they were second because they were close to them by seconds and also did not see other teams. We don't know the order

can you ask her what time this was? That may be a helpful indicator.

According to a reply underneath that tweet. she also claims that the Skiers/Lifeguards checked in at 2:04/the picture was taken at 2:04.

About the screenshots of the convo.....
He randomly told you that a local was on crutches? I’m finding this a little odd. Is this the “shocking” news that couldn’t be told?

I think some of the confusion/concern may be that it doesn’t show in the conversation with the lad if she was there from the very beginning or not. If she was In the beginning then what she says would mean twins 1st then Cody/Jess 2nd. But if she wasn’t then there is a chance that other teams could have been through before she started watching. Maybe she made it clear in conversations that she was there very early. There’s a lot to read and I may have missed that somewhere. I’m not saying she is wrong just that it could be why there is some skepticism happening
-
We know that Debaters are still in the race, but a local who posted to Facebook saying he witnessed the filming said he saw them. He doesn't know what place they were in, said he saw them some time between 1 - 2 o' clock (huge window). He also said it was one of the hottest days there, so I wouldn't count on the ice cream have any significant role in the race.
He randomly told you that a local was in crutches? I’m finding this a little odd. Is this the “shocking” news that couldn’t be told?
Yup, he randomly told me that a local was in crutches. I don't know. I wasn't the user who posted about upcoming "shocking" news.

Gotcha. Okay

I can see her twitter and she never offers any confirmation or credits anyone for pics & information. She is one of the leaders of the Jody army and thats fine. But I can't put faith in someone that throws out a statement with no confirmation. I will wait on the RFF shadow expert.
Picture of #Jody was taken at 1:42 pm yesterday #Tar30 #AmazingRace

I realize the excitement of finding what could be positive info on your favorite team. But reading this forum for years has taught me never to assume, even 1%!
Waiting patiently on the shadow expert!

Who's to say that the shadow analysis will be correct?

Seems like I too made a mistake sharing those DMs as people are just being negative & hateful towards us. Believing at first hand info from a local seems more valuable than speculation on sun-shade theory! Anyways, Lets cut this negativity and work together. Both camps want peace i suppose.
-
I would trust the Jody fan account because they have talked to the sources first hand. They know the exact times those pit stop pics were shot.
They don't always share source names because then their sources will be overloaded with questions from TAR fans.
-
You didn’t make a mistake! That was great she gave you info. I think people are just trying to stress we can not make huge assumptions off of some little facts. Don’t let it get you down or think people are upset. It’s a piece of the puzzle we have to put together and it’s appreciated
-
Who's to say that the shadow analysis will be correct?
Shadows are science. A scientist can tell you where the sun is located at any specific time at any specific location on Earth. Buildings also don't move. So a building acts like a sundial, if you know how to read it.
-
But photo quality can hinder that process.
The Jody fan knows exactly when the photos were taken. I will take that as a better indicator than shadow software.

There is no mistake and please, no negativity. The information is great and much appreciated, just taking things with a objective eye and with a grain of salt. Reading here for years has shown me not to take things at face value easily. Its great to have pieces of the puzzle. Thats the fun of it.
-
When it comes to shadows are they longer when the sun is rising and setting? If so the cloudy picture of Jody walking away from the pit stop shows little shadow under they body. Now if you look a the pic with Skiers and lifeguards you can see people in the background with longer shadows. Not sure if that helps or not.
-
They're judging the shadows based on the photos. There would have to be some room for error in that.
The Jody fan was plainly told by sources when the pictures were taken. It's easy to see when a picture is taken. The source doesn't have to recollect anything. That sounds like solid evidence to me.

Thank you for sharing bluesoul, that helps!
again guys, this is NOT a discussion of other forums and what they do. Please get back ON TOPIC.
WE are here to work together.
:ghug:
-
So we can't share information that Jody fans find here? I'm very confused.
-
So from eyewitness accounts we have Lifeguards and Skiers checking in at 1:30, then Twins, then Jody at 1:42.
Since we are going by the recollection of eyewitnesses, none of whom claim to have seen all six teams.
Proceed with caution.

I never meant my post to be negative or hateful. RFF has always worked on confirmed information & Jody Camp does not. To each his own. This TAR fan likes to know that information given is legit and not something that is just being posted. :groan:
-
Did no one notice that the guy said they did retakes--because of the sun. Now you can all speculate as to if the photos were taken during take one or two. :groan:

That's normal, yeah. At least some of the time they will have a team run in a couple times, and the one that looks better is what makes it to air. In the past, have seen previews from the next episode where the reaction of the last team being eliminated is different from when it happened the previous week.

No, skiiers and lifeguards were at 2:04, according to Jody fan source.

Source that saw Twins and Jody didn't see Lifeguards and Skiers. Earlier post says source of Lifeguard/Skier photo said it was 1:30.
-
We're getting conflicting info now on when the Skiers/Lifeguards arrived
Yesterday people were adamant that it was 1:30pm
Now (seemingly after Jody sighting was clocked at 1:42pm), its 2:04pm
Odd.

iF Twins/Jody and Lifeguards/Ski girls were only like 20/30 minutes apart I doubt you can get a real accurate reading with sun shadows espically with a few pictures..
-
heres what I can say as of now, from multiple people on the ground..
an all male team got first and barely beat jody.
jody got there at 1:42... lifeguards shows up at 2... (confusion above is because I said 130-2, and got further confirmation today)
the teams are still in Harare and leaving tomorrow
everyone we've talked to say 6 teams were there and seem to think they're all safe, but theres reasons I don't quite believe this and think they could be mistaken.
don't know if debaters were before or after skiers/lifeguards... also don't know who the 6th team racing is
because they're still in Harare I have to keep some things quiet for now though, also its harder to share things when every time we do the person is bombarded with messages and makes it harder for us to get info...

^^^Thanks, Dan!
-
Im still not convinced, based on whats been posted, that its 100% the twins 1st and Jody 2nd. Can we be sure it wasn't Skiers/Lifeguards 1& 2 and later, Twins/Jody? Have I missed any additional confirmation?
Lol no. If you notice, Jody fans tend to say they were first or second every leg without any evidence to back that claim up. It’s just wishful thinking from their fans.

Still dont know who any of the "sources" are so it is hard to go by. And most of the people are asking these people if they have seen jess and cody numerous times on almost every post on social media that Ive seen so they stop answering. So you are still saying you have shocking news????? Really confused on how something so shocking has not been heard of anywhere

Bombardment happens cuz we choose to work alone and I'll include myself also. If we just assign one person to one source, things might be better. But instead, we take digs at each other. For what ? We haven't even met personally. But the main goal of getting correct info without harassing the source should be our aim, that can only happen if we cooperate, collaborate and commit. My 2 cents.

Didnt jody fans say they were first at the u turn board? And were adamant about it and it turned out to be false. So yes it has been frequent

They have provided evidence. There's a chat posted literally earlier today with a witness who claims Jody came in 2nd.

Thanks for the info, Dan! It is mildly surprising that none of these sources can identify the sixth team. Honestly, I'm more curious about who THEY are more than anything!
So, does that mean the teams all finished close together? Because if the Twins/Jody arrived first and second at 1:42 and the Lifeguards/Skiiers arrived at 2:04, then the Debaters/Mystery Male Team would have had to be either in between those times, which means all teams checked in within 30 minutes of each other, or the Debaters/Mystery Male Team checked in after Lifeguards/Skiiers shortly after, since there's still that source that said production was packed up not too long after the Lifeguards/Skiiers checked in.
Seriously, though, I just want to know the Mystery Team! Part of me thinks it's the Indy Drivers, but I have no proof to even back that up.

I agree all the people asking about them is an issue and we've tried to limit it and not post sightings or block out names... but it is hard to contain... and yes something id consider pretty shocking based on a few reasons.
-
What if.....
The Lifeguards did check in at 1:30 but had to wait out a penalty? Meanwhile, the Twins and Jody check in. Then the Skiers show up just as the penalty is expiring at 2:00?
This would explain quite a bit.
Also if the other two teams came in shortly after 2:00 it would explain how the first witness saw the Lifeguards and Skiers, then came back an hour or so later and all was packed up.

is there another vist to the falls again

If it was NEL, then chances of next leg happening in zimbabwe itself increases. I am basing this argument on previous seasons while taking into account only 2nd NEL. So that might be on the cards!

how many teams are left and what leg this is
-
how many teams are left and what leg this is
Leg 7 and 6 teams with NEL, 5 teams otherwise
-
If they did leave today
Joburg had some departures in the early afternoon (Dubai, Doha, Singapore, Hong Kong) that teams could make, if they were on earlier morning flights out of Harare
They also have some in the evening that could work too (Dubai, Hong Kong, Sydney, Abu Dhabi, Nairobi)
Nairobi does have a later evening connection to Mumbai, which teams could've easily caught if they flew there directly from Harare at 11:45am today
Surprising amount of options depending on which way they did end up going, and IF they even left Zimbabwe today

Amazing Race is shot in 21/23 days usually.
So each leg takes approx 1.75 or 1.91 days. In both cases we seem to be missing ONE LEG, cuz we are now 17 days deep.

I thought the big reveal was Jody getting second only seconds behind the twins.

6 teams were confirmed for this leg that just happened so if this was leg 8 there would have to be 2 legs where there was no elimination.

For this to happen Leg 7 has to be NEL since Leg 6 was Double U-TURN.
Leg 7 has to be either from prague -> swiss or prague -> swiss -> zmb

To me, a second-hand account of what a friend saw, with assumptions made by (seemingly) the eyewitness, the informant, and the investigator, without clear evidence/indication of what was EXACTLY seen, and how they could precisely know what order teams came in, or even the exact time frame, is just ???

I'm not sure why they're withholding the chats, but from what I've seen, there is more than one source -- one of whom gave the team directions shortly before that team reached the pit stop -- and at least two of the sources agree on the approximate time the team finished. I don't want to say more out of respect for these detectives who seem to want to keep it to themselves.

There was some valid speculation that teams could have been held in Czech Republic for another day due to troubles in Zimbabwe (don't remember what exactly was going on). That could still be the case.

So from eyewitness accounts we have Lifeguards and Skiers checking in at 1:30, then Twins, then Jody at 1:42.
Since we are going by the recollection of eyewitnesses, none of whom claim to have seen all six teams.
Proceed with caution.
No. According to our sources Jody reached at 1:42 and Lifeguards/Skiers at 2:04. These were the times at which pics were taken and NOT posted on social media.
I choose to refrain from sharing the DMs. So you have to believe our word. The sources don't want to get disclosed.
Thanks for all of you and others have done, to proactively reach out and are fortunate to have been able to connect with local eyewitnesses to give us updates! It's really appreciated!
I understand what you mentioned about sources not wanting to have their info known, or concern that they will get bombarded with questions from other excited fans. On the flip side...i also see other detectives concerned that something might be missed & analyzing the details from every angle. :) I hope this doesn't cause you to not want to share details in the future. :(
I'm wondering if a good compromise would be to share the full screenshots, details, etc with the full source info with Peach directly. This will allow her to officially authenticate the info for the group, while still protecting any sources info that don't want their name/info out there.
As what Peach says is ok is law around here...it should prevent all the back and forth and concern that something was missed. LOL Also...as Peach has been doing this so long and has followed the race for years through all these amazingly diverse & different counties & cultures, she may also be able to offer some advice on follow up questions on details we may not even consider, being unfamiliar with some of the native traditions or backend things that happen during the race.
Again...just a thought. I know for my part...I love the updates, but I also understand needing to be sure about the info. This method could be a win/win for everyone and would allow more details and updates to be shared and less back and forth, while keeping conversations friendly and sources protected. :)

Thank you Kitty.
BUT RFF is NOT Playing this game.
Others want to hide their info? Fine!
Odd than in all our years of TAR spoiling (including TWO high profile BB teams) many forums have found ways to work together and share info. The fun is in the search and the discovery, not in not helping each other. Totally beyond me. I don't do this for some crazy notion of exclusivity. I do it for FUN.
This Season has not worked that way.
SO moving forward:
There will be NO posts here bringing INFO that do not name their source. EXCEPT if there are privacy concerns: Personal Request by the poster involved, security concerns, or Production concerns., or just unsure. All posts like that can def be discussed with me here by PM or on twitter and we will work it out and find a way to share info that does not involve risk to others..
But this is spoiler discussion not posting discussion, so back to searching please!
No more off topic please.

Just read through the last 7 pages or so here. GeorgiaPeach, I really hope I am not going off topic here at all, just trying to put together events discussed so far. If I do, apologies and delete this, it's tricky navigating what is true and what isn't.
Stuff that jumped out at me.
A second leg here wouldn't surprise me, since as I said before, going to southern Africa and only racing in a downtown area of what looks like any big city in the world just strikes me as odd for TAR. IF they are still there though, it could just be for flights or a rest stop? Alternately, I could see them "racing" at night if it was an indoor or protected location, like a museum or even the race track there.
What is with so many posters here saying "we" (and definitely not meaning RFF) and I only ask this because the TeamJody15 account is suddenly protected after providing great photos all season, even if their conclusions haven't been accurate, they come up with great sightings, and now we can't see them?
HOW did they "perform a song" and all arrive nearly together at the mat? This one really confuses me, since that kind of task tend to be "taking a turn" usually while practicing off the stage with local teachers. From the google map link I found, that stage seems to be in the North West corner of the park, so they would have to navigate THROUGH the park as well as about 3/4 city blocks to find Phil. BTW I agree that Phil was in front of the Econet Store for shadow searchers, but if they all came in together, seems pretty useless.
My guess there is a possible second task, a short one, in the park, not sure if task is the right word. What I mean is something like that sculpture garden outside the museum in the North East section of the park. Finding a certain statue with a cryptic clue that would lead them back to First Street and Phil, and could allow teams to arrive close together, as we've seen from photos taken there.
As far as the flights, heading to Australia or New Zealand, then a hop to Asia also makes sense to me. I really don't think they will skip Asia entirely.
I remember at least one other another season when a leg was completely left out of the show, so I'm not going completely by "leg" numbers. That information came from racers after the show was over. It might have been the grandfather/grandson team. ? The grandson wrote the most extensive blogs about what really happens on the race I've seen, so I believed him.
SO odd we still don't know who the 6th team racing is!
-
Nobody was hiding info. The problem is that sources are being hounded by tons of people. Some TAR fans, some Jody fans.
I understand why they don't want to reveal everyone's name because it freaks people out and then you lose the source.....
-
Right, this may seems CRAZY to some people but makes sense to me:
What if there were 2 legs in and around Prague and 2 legs in Zimbabwe?
This would make what they are departing today Leg NINE!
October 15, Prague to Zurich flight then to Zimbabwe. There is our first Zimbabwe leg. The 'shadow' leg is then our second leg.
As for Prague, we think it was an extended Pit Stop right? What if it was another leg in a small town?
What do we think?

I just want to know who the mystery team is,!!!

I still wonder if the delay in Prague was just because of the unrest in Harare that day. Water Canons on street vendors, and they obviously planned to race in the city. ? They could have been being cautious and waiting to make sure things calmed down. ?
I feel like they almost had to do, or will do, something else in Africa. All the way to Africa to sing and run around a big city? Do we know what time (local time) their plane arrived in Harare? Or if it was a straight transfer from Johannesburg?

The upcoming leg as 9 or the one that just passed? I think the leg we maybe could’ve missed would’ve been a keep on racing that makes sense

And that is always fine. Protecting sources is always good. I would be freaked out too if 100 JODY fans cam screaming at me, that's why we tend to let one person do the asking.
But that is info that could be shared privatey w/me and then we could accept the info and help take the search down other avenues.
But please guys, we are NOT continuing this discussion in the TAR threads.
Move on, okay?

All the flight info has been posted. The unrest could have caused a delay, or perhaps they were misguidedly trying to clean up before TAR arrived, we don't know.
Will be interested to see what happens next!
We NEVER have a 100% of every leg spoiled. Leaving some things unspoiled keeps it fun!

Zim is the only possibility then, if at all there's a missing leg. Maybe it happened at outskirts of city (maybe a village like TAR20 Tanzania Leg) cuz going all the way to a south african nation just to shoot one leg and that too around a city seems very absurd.
-
So we never got the flight from Zurich to Harara or Johannesburg, or I've just missed it? It's not in the timeline thread that I can see. Sorry if I'm being blind here.

Zurich to Johannesburg they arrived at around 8 am. Johannesburg to Harare was flight SAA

If this is the actual flight, it would be really strange if they only raced on the 16th.
-
On one of the first sightings at the Harare airport on Facebook, one of the replies mentioned a Lodge and a 4x4 adventure. I'm thinking they may be doing a second Zimbabwe leg out at a remote lodge interacting with elephants and hyenas and stuff like that. The one problem with this is that time in the normal 21 days is running short. A second leg in the bush probably requires an earlier missing leg in Czechia.

You are all good!
I think the song was a Detour. So one of two choices. The photo of that law building looks like a made to order rappelling site to me! (guess get a clue or RB maybe??)
Don't understand the delay in Prague either UNLESS the Harare city clean up was a problem. Or perhaps there was no delay and we missed a second leg in Cz, Will be fun to see!

That FB mention made me wonder of a possible lodge/4x4 just outside of the city, but I thought the tourist roadblocks might pose a problem.
-
Apparently there's flights from South Africa straight over to Australia. That would be an interesting shakeup in the standard route pattern. But, expecting somewhere in Asia to be more likely next.

He mentioned that they were filming the adventure at lodge. So we have to assume that something was up. Also he wasn't allowed to share which lodge! So he must have been part of the local crew there. I tried contacting him but got no response. We can't and should not eliminate a possibility of a leg there.

The 21 Days thing is actually not common. Seasons will often go to 23-24 days

An oceanian nation was last visited 8 years back! But hey its the 30th season. They might as well throw in one this time round thereby making it special & memorable.

They arrived late afternoon in Harare. Perhaps there was an Hours of Operation at the lodge, and they did the adventure early the next morning, then finished the leg in town that afternoon.

Also since we know for a fact that zmb city leg had 6 teams, so if a leg happened b4 that, we know for sure it must have been NEL.

We don't though? If the Zimbabwe leg is an NEL we could easily have a situation like
leg 3 in Tangier - 9 to 9 (Basketball last)
leg 4 in St. Tropez - 9 to 8
leg 5 in Arles - 8 to 7
leg 6 in Prague - 7 to 7
leg 7 in Czechia somewhere - 7 to 6
leg 8 in Zimbabwe - 6 to 6

Chances of Leg 6 being NEL is close to slim cuz it was the Double U-Turn Leg. So 6/8 won't be NELs.
Only 7, 9, 10 are the only plausible options out of which two must have been predetermined as NELs.

Has anyone considered they filmed Leg 7 out in rural Zimbabwe on Oct. 15th and filmed Leg 8 in the city yesterday?

I think it's more likely, but I also believe in this case the Czech Republic itself only hosted one leg. There has to be some breakup between doubling up in a country. Who knows though, that might be an answer we get later on haha.
-
Thinking about it, I'm SPECULATING that we have a timeline like
- Oct 12 - leg 6 in Prague - someone (probably Violinists) eliminated in seventh place
- Oct 13 - extended pit stop for teams / Phil flies to Zimbabwe
- Oct 14 - teams travel to Zimbabwe
- Oct 15 - leg 7 near Harare - "keep on racing"; teams encounter an hours of operation bunch
- Oct 16 - leg 8 in Harare - someone eliminated in sixth place
-
Zack speculation was more logical since they need to spend least 1-2 days for cross continent jump and Phil might not have enough buffer to arrive Zimbabwe earlier if the missing leg was second CZ leg.
Expect 1-2 days off happen again very soon for another cross continent jump.

Options from Harare today:
Many flights into Joburg throughout the day
1 to Nairobi at 11:45am
From Joburg:
Sao Paulo, Brazil at 11am (unlikely, but hey?)
Hong Kong, China at 12:30pm and 5:20pm
Doha, Qatar at 1:15pm
Dubai, UAE at 1:40pm
Singapore at 1:45pm
Mahe Island, Maldives at 1:45pm
Istanbul, Turkey at 6:20pm (unlikely)
From Nairobi:
Dubai, UAE at 4:35pm and 6:55pm
Doha, Qatar at 5:35pm and 8:10pm
Istanbul, Turkey at 8:50pm (unlikely)
Mumbai, India at 8:55pm
Doha and Mumbai both have connections to Kathmandu in the morning (19th) that could get teams there around 11am, Dubai has connections that could get them into India to possibly connect there as well.
Another option that stuck out to me was the Maldives- could be a good place for a tropical leg near the end, since the South Pacific seems less and less likely
Both Singapore and Hong Kong could host legs, but also could be perfect transfer points for other SE Asian countries

The Maldives is unstable at the moment, the dictator in charge is kind of unstable.
There are connecting flights via Addis Abba/Dar Es Salaam/Nairobi and Doha/Mumbai to Kathmandu.
There are also flights via Johannesburg and Hong Kong to Taipei.
-
I mean there's at least one confirmed leg in Harare despite what people were reading about water cannons earlier in the week so, short of active unrest or faulty infrastructure, we can't rule many places out.
-
A woman in Harare who posted a photo of the filming said she did the paperwork and knew that they were coming months ago. I'm assuming that it's standard practice for production to make arrangements to visit a country months in advance.

What I meant was that 2nd/3rd NELs have never occurred with a uturn embedded in the leg. 1st NEL has, TAR27 is an example for that!

https://theworldgoespop.com/2014/09/21/off-to-the-finish-line-with-amazing-race-canada/clue-box-parliament-hill/
The photo is the exact same. I had my doubts when I saw the Canada flag at the top :lol:
When I first looked at the photo, I realized that only Canada would have that building. Architecture like that doesn't exist in Bahrain...
Damn! And Bahrain has never been visited also.
-
I know I got excited. Would have been very cool! And it made sense for them to travel that way but Oh well. Back to hunting. :conf:
-
Okay thanks guys!
-
I never really thought of a no rest leg.
That would be a way to quickly bump the leg count up and make this one leg 9..
The last 3 seasons have all had one during the middle of the game so maybe this one did too.
-
Or maybe that Bahrain tweet just searched & posted the first Amazing Race clue box pic she liked.
-
that's a Canadian flag on top of the tower
-
Well, one thing for sure...y'all are awake NOW!! :funny:
Thanks everyone, we got it. :-[
-
Damn, I got so excited as well.
But Bahrain makes SO much sense to me...
-
Or maybe that Bahrain tweet just searched & posted the first Amazing Race clue box pic she liked.
That was my first thought. Maybe she knows they're coming there, and just googled a picture to post as a hint.

Or maybe she is just a fan of TAR canada.
-
Or is about to fly to Canada. :)
-
Moving on...If they're in Asia, next leg could even start tonight in their time. Have been checking :)
-
I have been checking Asia, Australia, all kinds of weird things - being new to the TAR spoilers, is this an abnormally long stretch with no new tangible news (or does it really depend on the social media activity of the locations they are in?)
-
So, Canada and Bahrain are 'fake news' right?
-

LOL YES PRESIDENT FULL CRAB TRUMP

Both. This next leg will be a long haul. Chances are good they are flying now, some of production was in transit yesterday.

Katmandu remains a STRONG possibility. As does Taipei.
Others include Myanmar, Sydney, Perth.
Katmandu would bring me GREAT JOY!!

I'm thinking Nepal too Peach.
We haven't had sightings for two days! People in Nepal are not the best in terms of money, so they may not have mobile phones, which means no pictures on social media we can find!
That would made us now on Leg 9?? I mean, the final two legs could go ANYWHERE!

Hey Y'all, Just wanting to let you know I didn't purposefully mislead to Bahrain. Seemed legitimate from where I was sitting. (Bahrain flag is red and white as well and my monitor isn't that big). Anyway, sorry for the misdirection!

They wouldn't. Though I agree with Nepal as I keep remembering Elise hinting towards it by replying to that tweet before they left.

It's alright, it seemed like a legit sighting to many of us at first. :)
Nobody holds you at fault or anything, that's why we always double-check - to avoid mistakes (that sometimes happen anyway lol).
Keep going with the search!
-
Well there isnt much time left in a the race (less than a week) so the next 2 legs better happen quickly.
Isn't there some festival in Kathmandu at the moment?
-
I am starting to believe this is leg 9 coming up and we missed a NEL or even more likely a No rest leg somewhere..
if this is only 8 they would be rushed to even make 24/25 days at this point.

what does that mean?..
That Jody and the twins were actually the last 2 teams to arrive to the pitstop.. Jody got uturned by somebody (possibly violinists as payback) and twins got last (possibly eliminated).. and Now they are on to the next leg?
-
Looks like Jody was u turned and twins eliminated? On to next leg?
-
U turned and survive? <3
-
M/F team was u-turned, M/M elimated, teams are now in flight to next destination?
-
I could also type out emojis and sell them as fact. If someone has something to back that up please share.

If it's the final 5 are all non elimination legs over?

thats the thing about relying on sources who are kinda clueless... you have to compile info from multiple and put things together. some only see one thing and they don't know any better... so on thinking 2nd.. we were told they were just behind a male male team and it was the first teams they saw.
the u turn info we sat on for a while.. but that was our most reliable source for reasons I don't really want to say because they could get someone in trouble. but they also came back to us with the solid info of where they were staying, how many teams, who was eliminated, the u turn and the place of jess and Cody.

This season has more sources that must be kept confidential that the previous 29 seasons combined. It's very strange.

10/15 Teams arrive in Harare late afternoon, spend night in lodge
10/16 Leg 7 in Harare: Song task, NEL
10/17 Leg 8 Rural Zimbabwe: U-Turn x2
10/18 Leg 9: Onward to next destination
I have a hard time believing that there was a quick leg on the 15th due to the last visit to Zimbabwe. Teams arrived in Zimbabwe in the afternoon, but due to the KOR production most likely didn't want teams racing at night. So, teams had to spend the night at Shoestrings before continuing the race. I'm sensing similar safety precautions for TAR 30.

Thank you for the new information, dan!
Looking forward to seeing the screenshots of the convo with your source.
See, what you said right here is what the people here at RFF have been trying to tell some of you new guys here.
We're not saying any of the information provided is false, but we just don't accept it at face value if there isn't enough proof (or if there is a scenario where the SOURCE is wrong).
Don't mean this in a rude way, but it turns out that Chateau's shadow analysis was indeed right. And I saw some very disrespectful comments about that wholeprocedure....

Exactly.
Which is why good detectives work hard to verify sources before posting unconfirmed "facts". It is always best to confirm things more than one way before calling them fact.
Which is why I have said a hundred times, please source your info. An eyewitness, a rumor, a news report, or an actual sighting, a friend said, someone onsite said, something to show your train of reasoning.
Then we can all work together to figure out what is really going on.
There are multiple sources who see things from different times and perspectives. Putting that info altogether is like solving a jigsaw...what was a mystery becomes clear.
-
Did the twins have some sort of penalty? Wasn't there a pic of them watching Jody at the mat?
-
I wonder if another team got uturned too or just Jody?
-
Did the twins have some sort of penalty? Wasn't there a pic of them watching Jody at the mat?
That is what I was wondering also. I don't think that picture is posted on here.

Can someone repost the pic with both Jody and the Twins?
-
as far as placings go, I think we'd have to say the debaters were either 1st or 5th based on the following:
lifeguards and skiers were together (either 1/2 or 2/3)
a male male team beat jody to mat by seconds (3rd and 4th)
twins were last (6)

Maybe they did have a penalty. Also, the Twin isn't wearing his backpack.

That would make them the m/m team that was seen checking in right before them AND caused them to be eliminated.

If I can combine both Peach's info & JodysCrew info, its easy to speculate that :
1) There were 2 legs in harare : Leg 7(rural) on 15th & Leg 8(urban) on 16th
2) Leg 7 was NEL, so 6 teams were still in play for Leg 8 (verfied by local zmb news that 6 teams competed in urban leg)
3) Leg 8 was Double U-Turn Leg
4) Shadow theory was correct in deciphering time lapse between Lifeguards/Skiers & Jody
5) Twins were eliminated and Jody finished 4th
6) Lifeguards placed 1st, Skiers placed 2nd
7) A male-male team which was't Twins, finished seconds before Jody
8) From 5,6,7 we can say that Debaters finished 5th
9) Production flew to Dubai as per Peach, may be a connector or final destination! still unknown so I'd rather not comment on that!
10) Interesting Fact : In TAR20, Brenchel were u-turned in the same leg and still manage to finish 4th with 6th team getting eliminated! So strange :o this happened again after exactly 10 years with another BB power couple
-
I still think something is up. Why are the twins just chilling like that, if they were supposed to be last place? Jody apparently came in fouth too.
Is it possible that the twins were mistaken for another male pair? Or are your sources clear that the twins left.
-
Also, we know that one M/M pair finished just ahead of Jody. Couldn't that be the twins?
I really think the twins are still in it and another M/M pair is out.
-
7) A male-male team which was't Twins, finished seconds before Jody
I'm a little sceptical about that. If Jody were really second behind another team, you'd guess there would be photo evidence of that. We have photos of lifeguards and skiers, who did not check in at the same time, together on the mat, so there should have been a photo of Jody AND that other team if this was true.
Btw, season 20 (Brenchel's first season) aired in 2012, not 2007.
-
^ There's a photo of the twins and Jody together at the pit stop. Look up.
I suspect that the twins are being mistakenly identifed as Indy, Violinists or Eaters.

Really? It matches his outfit to a tee and it looks like his shoes too?
-
I'm seeing twitter posts from @tammi1512 with screen caps of conversations. So far, it's all been basic stuff we already knew. No real revelations up to this point. 5 teams left. They left Harare this morning. Since we already have this, didn't see any need to post them here.
-
^ There's a photo of the twins and Jody together at the pit stop. Look up.
I suspect that the twins are being mistakenly identifed as Indy, Violinists or Eaters.
So for now, lets keep it at either Twins or another Male-Male team got eliminated.
Also, I think one more team along with Jody was u-turned for Jody to come in 4th. Remember Jody couldn't u-turn a team as they used it up in Leg 6. So some other team helped Jody in a way!
-
yep that isn't a twin look at the shoes.. They are different.
-
I'm confused, because the eyewitness that saw Jody get beat by "seconds" identified the other team as the twins from a photo.
I also see on twitter people still claiming that Jody checked in at "13.42" when we know it had to be later.
My conclusion is that even eyewitnesses often make mistakes, so please, everyone be careful with your declarative statements.
Adding link to post where witness identifies the twins: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,33373.msg1209665.html#msg1209665

I still think something is up. Why are the twins just chilling like that, if they were supposed to be last place? Jody apparently came in fouth too.
Is it possible that the twins were mistaken for another male pair? Or are your sources clear that the twins left.
That’s not the twins in the picture
Really? It matches his outfit to a tee and it looks like his shoes too?
The shoes of the guy at the pitstop are like brown., the ones of the twins is blueish.
-
Yesterday when people were saying that pic was the twins I didn’t look close at the pic. Looking at it now is that even one of the teams or is it camera crew? Looks like a camera on one of their hips
-
I think one twin is wearing blue-ish shoes, but the other has brown ones?

That is so odd b/c the shoes do look different and the back of pants look different also, but both are wearing their hat backwards.

If I can combine both Peach's info & JodysCrew info, its easy to speculate that :
1) There were 2 legs in harare : Leg 7(rural) on 15th & Leg 8(urban) on 16th
2) Leg 7 was NEL, so 6 teams were still in play for Leg 8 (verfied by local zmb news that 6 teams competed in urban leg)
3) Leg 8 was Double U-Turn Leg
4) Shadow theory was correct in deciphering time lapse between Lifeguards/Skiers & Jody
5) Twins were eliminated and Jody finished 4th
6) Lifeguards placed 1st, Skiers placed 2nd
7) A male-male team which was't Twins, finished seconds before Jody
8) From 5,6,7 we can say that Debaters finished 5th
9) Production flew to Dubai as per Peach, may be a connector or final destination! still unknown so I'd rather not comment on that!
10) Interesting Fact : In TAR20, Brenchel were u-turned in the same leg and still manage to finish 4th with 6th team getting eliminated! So strange :o this happened again after exactly 10 years with another BB power couple
What peach info? Seemed like she just repeated our info.. did I miss something?
No she didn't. I think both investigations converged beautifully.
1. Shadow theory where it was mentioned that Lifeguards/Skiers finished before Jody by like an hour
2. Missing leg in harare
3. Production member flying to Dubai
-
Does this mean that four of the men's teams have fallen in a row? If so, it serves CBS right for once again casting so many of them. Like we really wanted to see that many men's teams.
-
Yesterday when people were saying that pic was the twins I didn’t look close at the pic. Looking at it now is that even one of the teams or is it camera crew? Looks like a camera on one of their hips
Thought that myself when found picture on Twitter, but GeorgiaPeach compared backpacks and if you look at earlier pics they had the same cranberry thing hanging off it.
-

no look at the picture with the two twins.. Both of their shoes are dark colored
THe guys at the pitstop are brown. That is not a twin.
-
Well there isnt much time left in a the race (less than a week) so the next 2 legs better happen quickly.
Isn't there some festival in Kathmandu at the moment?
Yes, tomorrow is Diwali. It's an official holiday in Hindu countries.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is that the same pic people are saying has Cody/Jess and twins together in because I don’t see that. Or is there a different pic with all of them together?
-
Honestly, we should be looking ahead and catching the teams. Could help solve the identity of our missing team!
As Peach said earlier; Possible locations are Kathmandu, Sydney, Perth and Taipei. Myanmar is also a possibility.
Both. This next leg will be a long haul. Chances are good they are flying now, some of production was in transit yesterday.
Possible/probableI have been checking Asia, Australia, all kinds of weird things - being new to the TAR spoilers, is this an abnormally long stretch with no new tangible news (or does it really depend on the social media activity of the locations they are in?)
Both. This next leg will be a long haul. Chances are good they are flying now, some of production was in transit yesterday.
Katmandu remains a STRONG possibility. As does Taipei.
Others include Myanmar, Sydney, Perth.
Katmandu would bring me GREAT JOY!!

Can you please repost the pictures in question so we know what you're referring to? Or give me the links so I can do a side-by-side?

I tried to post of the twins ang the guy who is being thought of as one of them, but my file is too big. The twins have cargo pants on but the guy in the pic with Cody doesnt

yes the pants and shoes are different. Plus he has no backpack. THat guy probably works with the crew..
-

They look so similar, but looking at it again the guy in Jody pic also doesn't have a pack around his waist. I think in the other picture that is what is probably what is near his waist area.
-
Fwiw I’m pretty sure they went to Dubai and landed at 12:09am, and either doing a leg there or connecting in the morning and sleeping there
-
I meant Jody not Cody
-
this is probably the fewest M/F team they have ever had on the race... Only 3 and they are all in final 5.
-

Doing a leg in Dubai and catching a quick 4 hour flight to Katmandu sounds very reasonable.
-
I highly doubt this is only leg 8 with 5 teams left. This has to be leg 9 coming up .
-
Fingers crossed on Kathmandu!
If it is, teams could be landing via Doha, Qatar around 8:45am or 10:30am (so in the next few hours for us)
Connecting through Mumbai is also an option landing at 11am
Production could have easily connected through Dubai yesterday, landing sometime yesterday evening/night

And all three are dating. These lovers are competitive.

Yes it is Leg 9. 2 Legs in Zimbabwe (Leg 7 was NEL, Leg 8 was Double U-Turn)

Stop saying this. Nobody know this to be true
-
One other thing I’ve learned is they’re expected to be home in 23-24 days from the start. So I’m assuming they finish Sunday-Tuesday.
With 5 left. I see an elimination in Asia, possibly a NEL and 2 quick legs there... then head to Australia with 4 teams... and then head to Vegas or LA with the final 3.
-
Maybe a dumb question to ask, is there any confirmation with support for these three pieces of information we are talking about?
1. 2 Legs in Zimbabwe and we are now starting leg 9
2. U-turn in Zimbabwe and Twins get eliminated
3. They flew to Dubai

Not happening I think. I don't think they would do a three flight connection.
We know they did Harare-Johannesburg-Dubai. The next flight is their destination, ie direct from Dubai.
Didn't they JUST do one to get to Zimbabwe though?
Prague > Zurich > Johannesburg > Harare?
Would take only 2 to get into either Doha or Mumbai from Harare- I'm not counting it out yet

Since they started in New York, chances are the final leg will predictably be somewhere in LA or somewhere close to it. Sadly, every season since 11 has either had to start or end in California. Would be nice if they break this pattern for 30 but, I'd guess there's a little budget saving for at least one end of the race to be near home base.
-
I thought only production was seen connecting in Dubai?
-

Yes. Yesterday, I worked backwards from suspected destination. There are other possibilities.

These Jody crew people are certainly good info gatherers but they fail miserably in making sense out of it. RFF is clearly the best place to have an unbiased conversation and argumentation.
They are blocking people left and right who are trying to argue in a constructive manner. Its pathetic of them.

Sorry should have been more clear. I meant three connections before their final destination, which we have not seen.
We know teams are connecting through Dubai...
So that would be our two flights... leaving one more to get to their destination.
Perhaps Taipei??? Based only off the fact that Taiwan tourism board sponsored casting calls and because there are direct flights to Taiwan from Dubai. Would have posted in unsupported speculation but didn't know how to post cross-threads sry!

No, they’re blocking you because you take their info and then present it and subscribe random ass theories and present them as fact, like I corrected you on the last page. So just stick to rff and wait for isn’t to decide to post the info like everyone else here. 💁🏻♂️

But the info yesterday was correct on here. And not there. They didn’t come in 2nd. Where was the confirmation that the twins got eliminated?

but you've also been wrong numerous times already, first saying they were only 8 times in Morocco, and recently saying jody was ahead of lifeguards/skiers

Excuse me ? We spoke to the same source and got same answers. I am admitting my mistake that I jumped on the conclusion of Jody being 2nd from the info from the source I had conversation with. I have apologized since. Interestingly, the crew also posted the same conclusion of them being 2nd and has not yet apologized since and in return is blocking.
You bet I'll stick to rff, their shade theory was accurate enough before any of this! But i'll also appreciate the work you guys are putting in. Im in no way bitter. Just want to reach to the right conclusion. For that, questioning is an essential tool.

It wasn’t directed towards “Jody’s group”. I was asking confirmation because peach posted it. So anyone know?

The point was to see who was earlier and later. That proved correct. Based on a scientific point of view not heresay from someone who’s friend of a friend that someone may have spoken to that could’ve saw them maybe at that time

Its not. Their posts don't prove that twins were last. Only that Jody was 4th (obviously if we believe their source, which I do).
The only way i see twins getting eliminated is if they too would've been u-turned along with jody. There already was a speed bump before in the NEL leg.

why. Twins could have gotten lost, or were bad at the challenges.. Wasn't one of them a singing comp where you had to memorize african lyrics? Maybe they just weren't good at it..
Any team can get stuck and go home at anytime on TAR for so many different reasons.

The same level of proof is provided for twins being last and Jody being 4th, so I don't know why you're selecting information that you believe in like that.
Also, there are a millions reasons why a team could get eliminated. And there are never speed bumps on NEL legs, they appear on legs after NELs.

The source that mentioned that never said twins and we NEVER said which team beat them by seconds. Straight from the sources mouth

the source never said the twins.. People assumed twins because they thought the guy in the photo was a twin (it wasn't).
It was likely the mystery m/m team.

Their cousins won't know any more than we do. Eliminated teams are sequestered and wouldn't be allow to call home. After the race, the cousins still won't know unless the twins violate their non-disclosure agreement.

Again, where is the proof where your source said that twins were last ? All i saw was jody in 4th position and 5 teams remain.
Agreed there are million reasons and agreed that there is no speed bump on NEL leg, but their is on the next leg. Thats what i meant with obviously considering there were 2 legs in zimbabwe. One was rural, other was urban.

Their cousins won't know any more than we do. Eliminated teams are sequestered and wouldn't be allow to call home. After the race, the cousins still won't know unless the twins violate their non-disclosure agreement.
I know that. I’m saying they have been reading here to follow along their Journey and hope they win. I wouldn’t want them to read they were eliminated if we were not sure

Its not. Their posts don't prove that twins were last. Only that Jody was 4th (obviously if we believe their source, which I do).
The only way i see twins getting eliminated is if they too would've been u-turned along with jody. There already was a speed bump before in the NEL leg.
The same level of proof is provided for twins being last and Jody being 4th, so I don't know why you're selecting information that you believe in like that.
Also, there are a millions reasons why a team could get eliminated. And there are never speed bumps on NEL legs, they appear on legs after NELs.
Again, where is the proof where your source said that twins were last ? All i saw was jody in 4th position and 5 teams remain.
Agreed there are million reasons and agreed that there is no speed bump on NEL leg, but their is on the next leg. Thats what i meant with obviously considering there were 2 legs in zimbabwe. One was rural, other was urban.
Not my source, I'm not the one bringing info here, but I guess this is the 'proof': https://twitter.com/tammi1512/status/920795644175859712
I just don't get why you're referring to NELs & speed bumps at all. We don't know ANYTHING about that.
Could have been 2 legs in Zimbabwe, could have been 1.
For all we know, there could be a F5 and a F4 NEL. Has happened before multiple times.
-
I’m not going to take that as proof right now. That’s the same thing as last time. Guess I’ll wait and see who pops up
-
I’m hopeful!! 😁. I believe those TwinEMTs are still in this thing... we shall see!
-
Well, I also just read from the "Jody TEAM" that I am GeorgiaPeach's sock puppet.
So, yeah, sometimes they haven't been accurate, but they definitely have a source, and at this point, I really have to wonder if someone from production is involved. Obviously a source at the hotel in a few places as well.
I don't know why this has to be a war, it's making me feel icky. I love the photos they've posted and the spoilers, and I love the work you guys do too.
I still don't know how we know Phil flew to Dubai, from everything I can remember reading, it was just said, without even a "I can't tell you how I know, I'm protecting a source."
I also don't understand how, with all the photos, sources, and information a mysterious team hasn't been seen in so long, that was quite a crowd at the pit stop, seems like someone would have had a photo, considering how many have been found.
Also, anyone know what the "made it by 5 minutes" thing is about? I assumed it was "made the plane by 5 minutes?"
:chute:

1.Cuz they NELs, speed bumps are part of TAR lol and they would've impacted the leg results.
2. That source doesn't prove that twins were last at all.
3. Which season had F5 & F4 as NELs previously in the history of TAR US ? NELs can't be back to back.

True. But TAR 15 was the last time had a true F5 and F4 NEL. TAR 26 was also had a F5 and F4 NEL, but the F4 NEL was a KOR.
-
I just want to know who are the mystery team. How could they beat Jody by seconds and yet nobody can identify them while we have multiple sightings of team Jody? This is very interesting can wait for them to pop up and find out their identity

TAR 15 was the last time had a F5 and F4 NEL.
True but it also had
1. 12 teams unlike 11 we have in modern TAR seasons
2. these were the only 2 NELs it had.
3. Hence, hard to go just by this exception
-
I’m hopeful!! 😁. I believe those TwinEMTs are still in this thing... we shall see!
I am with you Tammy. I read the eliminated team was scared of heights. That just does not sound like 2 ex marines/EMTs/firefighters to me.
-

I want to know, too. Without any reason, I suspect it's the Violinists team in spite of getting U-Turned. The Jody group tends to ask only questions about the Jody team and their safety.

I mean that we have no way of knowing anything about NEL placements so far besides the Morocco leg. And you seemed to reference it like something was known, so sorry if I misunderstood.
For F5 & F4 NELs, look at seasons 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 26.
Seasons 3 and 5 had back-to-back NELs at F5 (and 11 at F4), but that doesn't happen anymore, with the rare exception of 25 which had back-to-back NEL and KOR at F4.
Slight (irrelevant) correction to your other post - S15 also had Leg 1 NEL.
-

I am with you Tammy. I read the eliminated team was scared of heights. That just does not sound like 2 ex marines/EMTs/firefighters to me.
Where did you read that? :groan: This is 100% unbased and I haven't even seen such info anywhere.
-

1. The Jody crew people are saying that violinists are still in it.
2. And if we do believe them that twins were perhaps last. Then based on this, we can say that violinists finished seconds before Jody as they also seem to claim that a Male-Male team finished seconds before Jody
3. And I'm also hearing that Lifeguards were the 1st to start the next leg.
4. This leaves Debaters in the 5th place.
5. So it may so have been that Jody & Twins would've been u-turned by LG/Skiers/Violinists.
-
I’ve learned to trust what Peach says
If she’s made such definitive statements as she did back on 75, I’m considering those as good as fact
She’s proven throughout the seasons that she knows what she’s up to
I’m excited to see how the rest of the season shakes out
-
I’m hopeful!! 😁. I believe those TwinEMTs are still in this thing... we shall see!
I am with you Tammy. I read the eliminated team was scared of heights. That just does not sound like 2 ex marines/EMTs/firefighters to me.
So this is the twist Phil mentioned at the special start for this season that teams with fear of height might not make it to the finish line! Wondering what is the twist now.
-
Peach said that the twins were out. Can she provide a source?

Today there are lots of info floating around and most of them do not have evidence to back them up. Very confused...

I said according to Jody crew people. Never said thats what I said. But basing certain facts in order and reaching a conclusion, I think that, any rational being can do. Which Jody crew people fail at miserably. They had all the sources, yet they took so much time in concluding the rankings. SAD.
-

Peach knows her sources. She has no idea whether you have one or not since you refuse to divulge it.

You guys can't rag on Jody fans for not sharing their sources, then do the exact same.

Personally I would like both RFF and Jody fans to share their sources (unless someone has production on speed dial that needs protected) because I'm inclined to believe nothing unless it's been photographed.

Its not about not sharing sources to keep them to yourself. This board is about verifying information. We do share information because the more we have , the more we see things from different angles and the better the speculation. Peach wants to make sure we get good, correct information, hence the sourcing. Peach runs this board, she isn't going to post anything thats not reliable.
Now, can we get back to researching. All this is sucking the fun out of this.
-
when does this next leg supposed to start anyone have any ideas?
-
Well, if you don't have sources and the Jody fans won't share their sources, how are we supposed to just take your word for it? Especially when the story changes a few times a day. The vast majority of the time at RFF we do give our sources. Occasionally we don't when there are sufficient reasons, but that doesn't happen EVERY SINGLE TIME.
-

Could be any time now. Maybe it's already happening.

I'm not one of JodysCrew. I'm just a fan of the couple.
I follow both RFF and Jody fans. I respect any info. lately I just noticed some hypocrisy here
-
Well, if it is in Nepal, it's just after 8 AM now, lots to do there. I hope it's not Dubai, so super rich and they've already done it, heck, even the Real Housewives go there.

I'm pretty SURE nobody knows who the missing team is. What I've seen on twitter is fans GUESSING it could be violinists, but there is absolutely 0 proof.
Btw, TravelTheWorld gave a list that completely contradicted the previous info of Jody being beaten by an MM team by seconds.
I’m hopeful!! . I believe those TwinEMTs are still in this thing... we shall see!
I am with you Tammy. I read the eliminated team was scared of heights. That just does not sound like 2 ex marines/EMTs/firefighters to me.

Sorry, I really just don't get how this is important? Fear of heights would be no twist, there are heights tasks each season.
-
itsjustme11 summed it up so well.
This thread has really depleted me today and I don't find myself enjoying this as much as I should be.
Really, the perfect way to describe it
https://youtu.be/woDB-3r-WWk?t=6s
And I hope that everybody who is here to argue and not help with the assessment of spoilers can stop cluttering this thread.
Goodnight, we'll catch the teams in the next leg and everything will be clearer!
-
I also don't get how fear of heights should affect a team lol, did many of you not watch 29? :lol:
You should!
-
If you ever followed Jody fans on Jokers Updates, man...it was exhausting. This is how I'm feeling here. Keep up the excellent work Peach!
-
Maybe a dumb question to ask, is there any confirmation with support for these three pieces of information we are talking about?
1. 2 Legs in Zimbabwe and we are now starting leg 9
2. U-turn in Zimbabwe and Twins get eliminated
3. They flew to Dubai
https://twitter.com/tammi1512/status/920795644175859712
https://twitter.com/tammi1512/status/920794580076838912
Sorry but this is NOT confirmation of anything except a convo between two unknown people. ???
-
I thought only production was seen connecting in Dubai?
That's right.
And production's route cannot be interpreted to be the route teams would take.
Apples and Oranges. :groan:
-
These Jody crew people are certainly good info gatherers but they fail miserably in making sense out of it. RFF is clearly the best place to have an unbiased conversation and argumentation.
They are blocking people left and right who are trying to argue in a constructive manner. Its pathetic of them.
No, they’re blocking you because you take their info and then present it and subscribe random ass theories and present them as fact, like I corrected you on the last page. So just stick to rff and wait for isn’t to decide to post the info like everyone else here. 💁🏻♂️
PERSONAL ATTACKS TO OTHER POSTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT RFF!
ONE MORE POST LIKE THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST> I AM TIRED OF TELLING YOU!
-
Again, where is the proof where your source said that twins were last ? All i saw was jody in 4th position and 5 teams remain.
Agreed there are million reasons and agreed that there is no speed bump on NEL leg, but their is on the next leg. Thats what i meant with obviously considering there were 2 legs in zimbabwe. One was rural, other was urban.
Where is the evidence for this please? as best I remember this has been speculated, but no proof.
So far except one comment on a Lodge and a 4x4 that has not yet been proven, I see nothing to PROVE a rural leg ...did I miss something? ???
-
OKAY...peach is pissed.
I go offline for 3 hours and come back to 4 pages of crapola.
THIS thread is for RFF's Discussion on SPOILERS.
NOT discussion of others..
Since the "JODY TEAM" Is hiding their work it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a judgement on their info. We can't see it so we can't assess its accuracy.
Secondhand reports of what others are saying/doing is utterly useless in a spoiler evaluation. I have repeatedly told the people regurgitating others info to post the FACTS.
No more!!
Let's start again please.
It is ~11:38 in Katmandu.
IF this is our next destination, teams could be landing now
Possible flight (thanks to traveljunkie)
Jet Air 557 Dubai 2325 0405‡1 Mumbai
Jet Air 250 Mumbai 0805 Kathmandu 1100
Remember that this destination is NOT confirmed. It is one of several that fit flight possibilities.
But it is EXCEEDINGLY dear to my heart, so hoping!! October is also the best month of the year there, the skies are clearer and the chances of Mountain views are much higher.
BACK TO SPOILERS NOW.
Let's all search our heart's out! I see HOURS of WASTED search time spent distracted by the unsubstantiated info being posted here.
MOVING ON.
-
I tried to post of the twins ang the guy who is being thought of as one of them, but my file is too big. The twins have cargo pants on but the guy in the pic with Cody doesnt
They look so similar, but looking at it again the guy in Jody pic also doesn't have a pack around his waist. I think in the other picture that is what is probably what is near his waist area.
This is probably old insignificant news, but I was looking back through some of the posts & this one was really bugging me. I wasn't quite sure which 2 photos/guys were in question, but I think I've got it. I believe this is the same guy (camera man) in both pictures. At first glance (in the fuzzy photo) his hair looks like a backwards cap, but I think that's just longer blonde hair as visible in the 2nd photo.
-
That is Petr of course! 100%
Good job!
-
I took this at JFK. The circle is Petr.
-
More Petr:
-
Thanks for the additional photos of Petr. Makes me feel like I'm going a little less crazy! :conf:
-
Is a cameramen assigned all the way to one team? Like Petr and the violists.
If he is, then I think the violists were eliminated so that Petr now joined the production team.
-
No, they change
Talked with someone on production about that
They switch crews between teams every leg
He could very well have been Jody’s cameraman that leg
-
Is a cameramen assigned all the way to one team? Like Petr and the violists.

No. Camera guys switch racers every leg or two, so there is no advantage to a team in any way.
Petr is mostly with Phil anyway I think? ???
-
And based on what we have DOCUMENTED, I am not sure we can say Violinists. ???
-
This is honestly sad. I've been following this for years now and never had seen the speculation thread like this before
-
If Jody finished 4th, are we looking at Jelani & Jenni situation (TAR 26) ? That would so awesome to watch. It happened to them during Leg 8 too.
If thats the case, they probably used their express pass (from Leg 1) but couldn't reach at U-Turn board on time and someone did them dirty (violinists ? cuz Jody uturned them.. a payback of sorts!) and they were forced to do one side of the detour.
That would justify as to why they didn't get a 5th position or get eliminated! A far fetched speculation I know but can come true.

Awesome find!!! The mind certainly can do tricks on you. Now it is obvious that it is hair and not a cap. LOL!
-
I also don't get how fear of heights should affect a team lol, did many of you not watch 29? :lol:
You should!
I was just repeating what Phil said at the start of TAR 30 at Washington Square! Nobody would get how it would affect because as he said it was a twist this season! If it is a normal thing, why would he bring it up at the start and it would not be called a twist.
-
I was there and I forgot about that until you said something. Thanks SO much!
-
I took this at JFK. The circle is Petr.
Petr has on black New Balance in this pic Peach took. The pic of the guy with his back to the camera with Jody at the pit stop does not have on black New Balance. So confused :spy:
-
Black Nikes is a girl. Petr is standing next to her holding the camera with black New Balance (I think)

Those were different days.. He works for production he could have multiple pairs of shoes.. But if you look at the picture that was taken on the same day you can tell the guy in the photo with Jody is obviously Petr not a twin.

yes , I have already corrected my original post. had Nike on the brain I guess. They are still different shoes from the other pic at the pit stop.

Well there was an tweet also talking from TAR in Bahrain from yesterday, but we didn't believe it was us because the building in the background is located in Canada:
40 @ffsEman 18 oct.
I JUST REALLY CANT WAIT @Salah_AlSayed93
(https://image.ibb.co/eLrNQm/DMa_85n_X4_AAXLVP.jpg)
She's from Bahrain.
And there's another cryptic tweet from five hours ago:
40 @ffsEman 5 h
Let the race begin

That is Ottawa.......

I think the Bahrain sighting is a troll job
-
It sounds like she knew there were coming to Bahrain and just looked up a clue box pic.
That is what I already speculated when it was posted. I thought she perhaps used a clue box pic she liked. Or maybe one that seemed innocent. The other possibility - which someone else mentioned is that she was coming to Canada.
-
I just saw that the person who posted the new Bahrain sighting is from Pennsylvania...
We heard you the first time.

The girl who posted pics from Iceland was there for work, she was American.

Yea sorry you are right, I'm not sure why it shows differently on my desktop than phone... It's indeed 4:43pm local time
-
Can we stick to the FACTS and THE SIGHTINGS please?
ALL info is evaluated.
-
Like my mom's friend from the USA is in Bahrain atm for work, so it's not impossible at all for an American to spot TAR there
-
not impossible no but you would think somebody who met/recognized phil and the crew out in a random country and tweeted about it would have gotten and uploaded a picture or something..
It makes me skeptical he has no pics.
-
I'm suspicous because the girl posted the Canadian TAR pic and now this person tweeted about a Bahrain sighting. It's almost like they got their info from the first girl and then spun a lie out of it.
-
I have some reason to think this may be FAKE.
Let's continue the search please . ALL hands need to be searching Keep your posts concise and on target please.
Searching is more helpful than blahblah right now.
-
Awe, 😞twins were eliminated. So how many teams are left now? Gotta be winding down pretty quickly
-
The latest tweet in the live sightings thread is from the same person who posted the pic of the Canadian Parliament. I don't believe it's a true Jody sighting.

but cody has his backpack on so it would almost have to be.. That would at the very least mean she saw them at some point during the race.

Yep looks like a friend told her where and when so she knew exactly where they would be.

No. It's my opinion. But do you really think they posed for her and she just happened to put the crown filter on the pic? And why not take a pic with some context that proves where they are?
They could very well be in Bahrain, but I'm not convinced.
-
Any evidence to prove it is? We can certainly continue to evaluate this. But photo appears photoshopped and there is no corroborating evidence. Previous post suggests intent to deceive. I suggest caution while we research.
Let's continue.

Yes I do believe she put the crown filter on those pics ... and because she doesn't care about TAR she just cares about meeting Jess and Cody.
https://twitter.com/ffsEman/with_replies
You can look at her tweets she posted through the day. Looks like she was VERY happy.
-
Phil posted an Instagram video in Bahrain.
The Jody photo is a FACT
-
the girl clearly knows english so of course I could believe Jody would take a picture for her despite being a hurry....
Any person who speaks english in a foriegn country is a valuable asset in the race when it comes to getting help/directions.
-
I believe this girl met them after the race was over. She knows that they finished in the top 4.
-
So twins were eliminated at 6th place, and F5 consists of all 3 MF teams, skiers and mystery MM team? Correct? Thanks for answer.
-
Phil posted an Instagram video in Bahrain.
The Jody photo is a FACT
Yeah I think so. I compared with background of his video. It definitely looks like he is standing near the famour "Tree of Life" in Bahrain. So teams should be at least there, right?
-
Where is Phil at right now? :funny:

-
Phil posted an Instagram video in Bahrain.
The Jody photo is a FACT
I would not jump to that conclusion, even if Phil is in Bahrain we don't know when that video was taken.
Its far from a confirmation of the other photo.
-
The girl is Bahrain and Phil is in Bahrain. She knew someone involved in production. That's how she got to meet them.
-
If Phil is in Bahrain that's as good as it gets. I think this is a FIRST from him?
-

Phil 'might' be in Bahrain, who knows when that video was taken :)
As for the Jody photo we have no way to verify that it was taken during this leg or sometime else in the race.
-
She's in Bahrain....
Where else would it be taken?
-
The girl who took a pic of jody says they made top 4 whatever that means. they also look happy
-

Yep that is Cody's happy face 😂😂
-
Well, has it ever really been Phil's style to make an on-site post from somewhere he's not currently at?
-

While I do think they're still in the race, they're POSING in the photo; it's not candid. Of course they're going to try to look happy if someone asks to take a photo of them. I don't think you should read into how they look in it.
-
She said they finished in top 4. that's straight from the source's mouth.
-
agreed.. And that is where sources often make mistakes is when they assume a teams position.. I do believe she saw them but I wouldn't trust they made it to top 4 yet..
1) in order for her to know that she would have had to of seen or talked to them AFTER the leg was completely over.
2) IT could have very easily been a NEL and all teams made it to leg 10 and they just don't know it.
-

also im no amazing race super fan, but dont they usually do a NEL on final 4 leg?
-
Peach.... wtf has happened here in my 3 year absence from the website :P
-
Even though it doesn’t prove definitely as fact, Looking at her post through the day it does seem like she was told by someone where to catch them. Hopefully she posts more info or pics as proof
-
IF Phil vid is current and from the race, then Tree of Life seems like a good place for pitstop...maybe? (But I have no evidence for that...just seems like a cool place to have it.)
-
She said they finished in top 4. that's straight from the source's mouth.
Reading through her Twitter feed, it appeared to me that the Jody fans were wrongly assuming they were in the F4, just like they have been assuming that Jody has placed either first or second in every leg of the race. I need to learn Jody math - how they went from six teams in Harare to four teams in Bahrain in less than 24 hours is mind-boggling.
-

The Harare leg took 6 down to 5.
This leg took 5 down to 4.

to be fair the source did say they made top 4 so of course they are going to assume that. They don't realize though that sources are soo often mistaken on what they saw.
Definelty can't trust that piece of info without proof... Not that the girl is lying but she could very easily just be mistaken about something.

6 teams arrived in Harare where Twins were eliminated taking it down to 5 teams. Allegedly, the leg in Bahrain is over and another team has been eliminated taking it down to 4 teams.

Because 6-1 = 5 and 5 - 1 = 4

Thanks - I don't know why I thought the Harare leg was possibly an NEL (I guess since they were all standing around eating ice cream) Of course, after going to bed last night and waking up this morning to 5 pages in this thread, there was no way I was going to sift through it to see what was going on.

God love you sweetie. Welcome HOME!
-

Not that I can recall.....Seems MOST unusual to give us a freebie spoiler. :funny:
He has worn that hat and shirt before though...lol.
-
Do we think they've traveled and completed a leg today?
-
'The Tree of Life (Shajarat-al-Hayat) in Bahrain is an approximately 400 year-old, 9.75 m (32 ft) high Prosopis cineraria tree. The tree stands on top of a 7.6 m (25 ft) high sandy tell that formed around a 500-year-old fortress. The tree is a local tourist attraction, visited by approximately 50,000 tourists every year.'
Lots of visitors to The Tree of Life and no other images found.
It is less than an hours flight from Bahrain to AbuDhabi. It would have been easy for Phil to fly over to visit the Tree of Life in honor of Spirit Day outside of the race, film his contribution, and join up with production back in AbuDhabi. And just as easy for the twitter user to fly over to AbuDhabi to capture an image of Jody in the airport during a connection. The twitter image does appear like a food court lounge area in an airport.
-

Yes I think the leg was likely over hours ago. it is currently 11 pm there lol.

I think she got Abu Dhabi and Dubai mixed up.

you mean Dubai?
it's possible but i don't really get connection between Spirit Day and Tree of Life to fly specifically there for 30 sec instagram video
-
Piper has a point, seems random that Phil would go out of his way to another country during the race, even if it is a short flight, just for that. I'm not getting the "peace" connection, either.
-
Darn that spellchecker - it was really working after all. Sorry about that mixup.
Point was if production left Zimbabwe earlier than racers, and there was a connection near Bahrain, it would be fairly easy for Phil to travel over and then meetup with production later. Same for the twitter user if she had a head's up.
Only one twitter image and Phil's video - just being cautious is all.

Didn't Phil posted a pic in Season 25 in Italy? And that's how we found him :funny:

The Tree of Life is in southern Bahrain, and the nation only has one civilian airport on the northern tip. So, travel to the tree to film a Spirit Day video would be more difficult than just a short flight.
Stunami, I believe Phil did post a photo in Sicily as well as a kasbah photo in Morocco.

https://twitter.com/ffsEman/status/921082428529266688
She says "They are still in the top 4"
The Harare leg took 6 down to 5.
This leg took 5 down to 4.
Based on previous years (and excluding a possible "twist), isn't too early to be at final 4? What leg is this?
-
The girl who took a pic of jody says they made top 4 whatever that means. they also look happy
That's interesting in itself. How would she KNOW that? Did she see the leg? A racer would DEFINITELY not be able to tell a bystander that. It's a puzzle! ???

Based on what about previous years would lead you to believe it's too early to be at F4? We're 19 days in.
-
Trying to figure that out. We are at leg 8/9? Isn't usually 10-11? I may be wrong, or missing something
-
She says in the TOP 4..not the FINAL 4. There is a difference. Too soon for final 4.
-
Based on previous years (and excluding a possible "twist), isn't too early to be at final 4? What leg is this?
Well, Seasons 12 and 13 were final 4 at episode 9. But were shortened by a leg, too, they were back during the long writer's strike, it wouldn't happen again.
-
That was my thinking. Just questioning claims that this was an elimination leg and took it from 5 to 4
-
Based on what about previous years would lead you to believe it's too early to be at F4? We're 19 days in.
Final 4 is the last leg before the Finale. The "penultimate" leg. We are at least a couple of days from that. But it doesn't matter...from what I see she said in the TOP 4...not the FINAL 4. That's a huge difference.
-
She says in the TOP 4..not the FINAL 4. There is a difference. Too soon for final 4.
She replied yes to someone who asked if that photo is from today's leg. If it's too soon for F4, then the leg they just completed is NEL?
-
While i agree that Top 4 doesn't mean Final 4, i am confused why people so sure it's impossible to be F4. They had F5 eliminaton in Leg 9 in TAR25, they could do it again.
-
Don't understand why it couldn't be top 4. They only have about 5 days left to hit 24 days. They also need time to travel, which takes a leg 1-2 days.
-
Technically if this leg today was leg 9 than it could be down to 4. Leg 10 could be a NEL. Then leg 11 could go from 4-3 and then the final. Not sure what to make of what she said though. I would take it with a grain of salt.
-
In an average season nowadays, they double up on 3 countries (making 9-10 countries including US). So we have France, quite possibly Zimbabwe, meaning another likely wherever they're going in Asia.
-
also keep in mind they only started with 11 teams compared to the usual 12 teams. Top 4 isn't that impossible at all. maybe there was only 1 NEL round this year. Just a thought!!!! :spy: :spy: :knock: :knock: :hosed :margarita: :BBored

The exception is 12 teams.
-
OK didnt mean to set us off on another tangent. Back to finding info...
-
So, I guess I'm trying to work out the timing of each leg. We might have had two NELs, correct? Because, from the information gathered here, unless my math is off (and please correct me on my information if it's wrong), this is what I've got:
Leg 1: Reykjavik, Iceland (October 2) 11-10
Leg 2: Antwerp, Belgium (October 4) 10-9
Leg 3: Tangier, Morocco (October 6) NEL
Leg 4: Saint-Tropez, France (October 8 ) 9-8
Leg 5: Arles, France (October 9/10) 8-7
Leg 6: Prague, Czechia (October 12) 7-6
Leg 7: Harare, Zimbabwe (October 15/16) Possible NEL/TBC
Leg 8: Harare, Zimbabwe (October 16/17) 6-5
Leg 9: Bahrain (October 19) 5-4
I don't know if my dates are off (I think my Leg 7-9 dates get muddled so please correct me on those particular dates!) so that's why I think, unless this recent leg is also the final NEL, that it's quite possible that we're down to final 4. I think it would make sense, especially if they're going to be back in the US by Sunday/Monday for the final leg.
-
Don't think Bahrain is a definite yet, but the timing of Phil's clip to that other girl is a little coincidental.

That's it! Unless we missed a leg which would confuse us more.

You can look at the TIMELINE as well. Oval is AMAZING!

#TAR30 tweeter feed has a pic of two teams if any one want to check that out.

Just saw that over on twitter. Looks like skiers and Indy drivers. Didn’t see any source but maybe one will come
-
Indy STill in!! Hang on!
I kept thinking those guys in cargo pants standing talking to the other woman in Harare looked an awful lot like Indy from the side, but this thread managed to convince me it was the twins.
-
There is a video on his story of someone jumping into water off of a ship. Not sure if it is the pitstop or not. Phil is there with a pink team?
-
Trying to figure that out. We are at leg 8/9? Isn't usually 10-11? I may be wrong, or missing something
Probably leg 8 and it is proof to be true. My gut thinks that Bahrain could be the 8th leg.
-
The Tree of Life could have certainly been a location, then?
-
That's awesome that we finally found our Mystery M/M team after searching for them for several legs. I'm actually excited that it's them.
So...does that mean that Violinists definitely went out on the Prague leg, then? I mean, maybe not definitely because we can't be 100% certain right now, but probably?
But then who went out for the Harare Leg? Debaters?
And then Twins are said to have gotten out on this now confirmed Bahrain leg?
I just want to double check my information, because of so many false reports and confusing speculation the last three days.

So the remaining teams in todays leg were
skiers
jody
debaters
lifeguards
indy
one of them or none of them got eliminated today.
:conf:
yay no more confusion about the last m/m team

Ok, now I'm not confused anymore! Thanks!
-
That is a tinier country than I thought, actually took a minute to figure it out on a map :lol: But we've had smaller (Liechtensein, Malta, Monaco, etc)
-
One men's team, one women's team, and all three coed teams who started the race are still in it? Or were in it at the time of those pics being posted? Nice. Once again, love that CBS got some major karma with four of the five men's teams dropping in a row!
So to make sure, with Indy at last confirmed to still be in, this means the Eaters are out, right?
So that makes the boot order:
11th: Ring Girls
10th: Yoga Moms
9th: Eaters
8th: NBA
7th: Violinists (good to get confirmation that the U-Turn took them out, after all)
6th: Twins
Leaving:
Cody & Jessica
Debaters
Lifeguards
Indy
Skiers
Pretty nice, gender-balanced F5.
-
Don’t know which between Eaters/Basketball went out first officially
-
Is that Cody in his camo hat standing behind Indy and Skiers??

I feel like the snippet of the Mat Chat for basketball in St. Tropez about them 'getting through' in spite of the SB (paraphrased) suggests they survived that leg thus Eaters in 9th and Basketball in 8th.
-
According go the Twitter use who just posted Jessica and Cody checking in, they came in 4th for the Bahrain leg.
-
She's at the pit stop......
Check the live sightings thread
-

We have that already, please scroll up.
And we can't trust her yet, we don't know that she was at the pit stop to know this for sure. As Peach said, the racers themselves would not be allowed to reveal such information.
Even if the info is true, it's very ambiguous. TOP4 could mean many things, not just that they finished the leg in 4th place.
But didn’t she also has a video for them to checking in? Hearing the placement would only take at most five mins though. Judging from the video, she is not that far away from Phil and the team. I assume that is not too long to stick around.
-
Hearing Phil tell them they came in 4th at the pit stop is prob what the poster meant by top 4
They may not have stuck around to find out what happened to 5th place (elim/non-elim)

yeah probably but I think she probably heard 4th place indeed

Running to the mat.
That first photo really did look like a food court from what we could see of the background, same original source.

Im flabbergasted how the skiers seem to have been doing so well in all these legs! they must have the luck of the angels or something. Hoping the next area they go to its an even playing field again and no time advantages from signing in at the pitstop. These last few legs will be so predictable on the show with them always leading.

They are athletes. Maybe they are just very good.

They've won medals in competitions like the X-Games. I don't understand why you're "flabbergasted."

TeamJody are saying lifeguards are out. That diving challenge tho.

from the seasons ive watched the line up from each leg usually changes, ive never seen a season where 1 team always stays in the lead. I hope its fun to watch atleast !

Really? Wasn’t that same source saying she did not know who was 5th? Did they have new sightings?
-
in the pic with Indy, can't you see Jody, the female debater, and skiers?
maybe that's why they think lifeguards are out??

I don't understand. Are you implying that Skiers are the one team that always stays in the lead? I don't know what would lead you to believe that.

Go watch TAR 27. Justin and Diana won 7 legs including 5 in a row from legs 6-10. Justin was pretty cocky about it too which turned a lot of people off. In the end though they didn't win the final leg.

Any guesses about what those bars are in the video? Thanks for posting the stills from that in the Live Sightings thread GeorgiaPeach.
That could have been Jessica taking the dive, but it's blurry, I think so though. That water must have felt good in the desert, and whomever it was? NICE dive. Ha.

Guys, remember: SHOW RESPECT TO EACH OTHER.
NO PERSONAL COMMENTS ARE EVER APPROPRIATE.

Or TAR20 with Dave & Rachel, who won 8 legs - including the final leg (and the race and the million dollars) - and still hold the record for the highest amount of first places in a single season.
-

Lifeguards being eliminated for failing in a DIVING challenge? I can believe that they're out but, I have trouble making sense that it was due to a task that's an aquatic sport; that's in their wheelhouse.
-
You all do realize the order can change each leg so easily right? Look at the lifeguards from first to last like that boom. The goal for each leg is to not get last
-
Where is posted/confirmed that the lifeguards are last? Pretty sure this is what Peach is talking about, people.
-
If I’m being honest, I stopped following the race (aside from what I stumble upon in the recent posts area) because certain people were making/believing false claims as long as they made a certain team appear to be safe or still in the race. However, were unable to provide evidence.
I want my favorite player to win Big Brother.. or Survivor.. but I don’t post false info to make myself believe they are doing better than they really are.
Ok that was my 2 cents. Happy racing.
-
Presuming this probably won't be a two-leg country. Its square mileage is way smaller than Bali or Zanzibar (295 sq m)
-
Nor will they take a boat over to Doha, having already visited Tangier.
-
Aren't the final 4 teams visible in this pic??? http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2030/Bahrain/Bahrain%20maaziwaazi.jpg
skii, indy, jody in back and debater female??? right?
-
Just a completely random guess - but that picture of the "final flag souvenir" and the potential outfits on the right side of the screen; dance task?
-
I think people are just saying that because we haven't really seen them this leg
NOT seen does not mean NOT there, they could've been ahead for all we know
Or it could've been an NEL
Not enough evidence to really say
-
If that is true about e lifeguards going from first to last that is absolutely crazy especially on the diving challenge? I'd have to guess it wasn't the challenge itself maybe they got lost and was last to show up to it

Check out TAR13, TAR15, and TAR20, then. Those seasons had conditions exactly like what you said. Three of the most predictable seasons ever.
-

Wouldn't be the first time it happens, if that's the situation.
And navigation is a major issue on the race, with bad navigation being one of the motives of the downfall of a great number of teams during the previous seasons.

skii, indy, jody in back and debater female??? right?
I don't think that Cody because that guy looks taller than Cody is.
Anyway, that two blurred people behind Skiers and Indy are too difficult to say so we cannot say that it's Debaters and Jody.
And is the Twins confirmed to be eliminated last leg? It can be Debaters because we did not see them since Airport sighting before Harare.
-
The task wasn't just a diving task. The wording on it says something about getting an answer wrong so they have to dive. So it's entirely conceivable the lifeguards could have botched it.
-
Czechia had photographic proof of a W-Turn at F7, and Zimbabwe an unpictured one at F6.
Seeing as Italy and Greece had W-Turns at the same elimination points last season, the chance of this season's third having appeared in France's earlier half at F9 is minuscule.
Could it have already surfaced in the latter French leg at F8?
-
Jess and Cody were U-Turned in Harare.
-
How does that contradict the above?
-
oops. i thought there were usually only 2 u-turns.
-
can a non elim leg happen at the final 4??? or do you all think maybe the all 3 have happened already???
-
It's cool.
Two of the last three seasons have increased the count to three, which heavily suggests a trend towards more.
S27 did them at F8, F6, and F5.
S29 was F9, F7, and F6.
-
Usually there are 2, yes. Seasons 27 and 29 were the exceptions where they threw in a third U-Turn. 28 only had 2 (according to one team, one of them we didn't see because nobody used it)
And final 4 NELs have happened plenty of times. I kinda like them, keeps us in suspense of the final elimination for an extra week.
-
The last true F4 NEL was during S25, the penultimate-finale twist for that season and the following one notwithstanding.
-
NEL's haven't typically happened at Final 4 usually in the recent seasons, but anything is possible
I just think it would be weird for the timeline to not have at least one NEL left, whether it was Final 5 in Bahrain just now, or the next leg with Final 4
It would be very unorthodox for them to be in Bahrain with only one leg between it and the final leg
-
Seasons 27 and 29 were the exceptions where they threw in a third U-Turn.
Being so recent, that sounds like what I wrote, "a trend towards more".
-

True, this season's looking like either F9-F6-F4 or F9-F5-F4, both unlike any previous one.
-
I think it will be a NEL next. Then leg 11 will go from 4 to 3
-
From this Jody check-in video, posted earlier https://mobile.twitter.com/ffsEman/status/921146655952572416/video/1
Looks like the Tree of Life is the Pit Stop? Phil must have taken that Instagram video while waiting there.
-
I'm confused as to where the confirmation is that the Lifeguards got eliminated in 5th?
I personally haven't seen it, but I might've just missed something? ???
Then again, people were adamant that they were out in St. Tropez, soooooo
-
not sure but there was no given proof the twins got eliminated in 6th but that ended up being proven true..
Clearly somebody has ties with production and can't reveal the source.
-
No evidence of Lifeguards being out yet. I.e., no source, it's in rumour state so far I'd say.
Regarding twins, Peach confirmed they were out.
-
Thanks, Alenaveda! This was from today's leg in Bahrain. I'm guessing that was where the pit stop was but you can't tell from the pictures. No real evidence there though there is at least one person next to the tree in one of the pictures. It also explains why Phil was tweeting a picture of the Tree of Life earlier.
I think the last picture shows a pitstop mat? Also just saw Phil Instagram video it seems he took it at some place around there?
-
Call me Captain Oblivious! I completely missed seeing the mat. :groan: I think that it is the mat anyway. I'm glad I thought the rest of the picture was interesting enough to post. That undoubtedly is where Phil shot his video since he filmed the Tree of Life and that is the same Tree of Life in those pictures. I was searching on Tree of Life.
It just shows how different it is in Bahrain when what would be a medium sized tree in my area has a visitor center built for it there.
-
Speaking of which, does visiting Bahrain finally mean a new country for the race?
-
Spec:
The Man who took the pics and the video is apparently affiliated with the Bahrain National Stadium. Perhaps there was a task there as well? Cricket? Football? ???

true but as I stated before there was no source given for the twins going out 6th.. None what so ever and it was true.
Often sources can't be given because people will lose their jobs among other things.

Thats such a cliche excuse used over and over. Nobody will lose his/her job. That chick from bahrain openly shared info of TAR happening. Then according to you, her job is gone ?
You can always share pic/convo by excluding the source name & face. Atleast we have something to work on rather than just "Ok this happened and simply believe me!"

Even if they did you wouldn't believe it anyway because everyone on here doubts absoutely everything.. They would just say they are lying or that it doesn't prove anything. It is nearly impossible to prove anything about the race until the next leg comes along and you can see who isn't there.
-
The way I see this forum is in three parts,
one being gathering bits of info via source & providing same to the forum
two being members of the forum scrutinizing that source info provided
three being, fora members filling the missing pieces of the puzzle which the source was unable to reveal through logic & reason.
The problem i'm seeing is that some people seem to be boasting their ego by keeping source info to themselves resulting in a situation where nothing is moving forward. Its all talk, a hollow hollow talk.

Because every time anybody posts anything that they know everyone harrases them with "PROVE IT" "I don't believe you" etc..
But what you don't realize is it is extremely extremely hard to 100% prove something, even with pictures... There is always going to be some doubt if you look for it.
If everyone keeps being rude to people than they just aren't going to bother giving out info and trying anymore..
Just my 2 cents.

Ok. So thats the real reason! We can't even scrutinize the source info ? Nobody doubts the source. We believe you on that. What we scrutinize is the picture or conversation. Try to find out things hidden beneath the lines. But you want to take the sole role of making sense of the information I suppose! You might miss somethings that some experts here might identify.
Collaboration with agents possessing varied skill set always trumps Singular Work.

See this forum has a lot of members. Some rookie, some average, some experts and good thing is you can easily differentiate b/w them. The member who just says " I dont believe it " without giving any valid reason is avoided by everyone cuz no one likes to interact with such a member.
But, there are experts who will extract more from the source than whats already there.
And you are always respected for trying the hardest job of finding the source in first place and getting info. Start afresh I say.
Also If I may add, you shouldn't take the burden of proving anything. You have already done the most difficult job. The way investigation proceeds is that sources are collected but the source gatherer is never burdened with proving everything, rather the experts try combining the sources received to reach for the most logical conclusion.

So this reasoning only applies to a source which is related to TAR production in some way or the other right? But there are many other sources that gatherers choose not to reveal giving a reason that it might harm them. No one is asking to portray the whole thing. All im saying is exclude the picture and name. Even time if its an issue.
I am new to this forum. True. But I am being polite all along. Maybe you can enlighten me where I was rude!

You have the patience of Job.. But moving along, do we have any good speculation on where they will be going next? Asia? Australia?
-
I have been passionately hoping for Nepal. October is the BEST month of the year.
But at this point time may not allow that. Flights from Bahrain aren't great unless they do charter.
Time is running out We have just had Probable LEG 9...cannot totally rule out it being Leg 10.
Teams will be home before long. Two legs max before Finale.
So lets do our best and concentrate all our efforts on a great Finish!

You have the patience of Job..

In the Bahrain Jody mat video, Phil seemed to be hurried and his words short with comments like, it's been a long day, it's been quite a long day, alright put your bags down and then the greeter speaks.
Couple of questions on this interaction. Have previous years' spoilers revealed people following teams, cheering on a team at the mat and posting pictures and video? And, would CBS have any concerns returning to the country in future races because of leaks?

I think what he is insinuating at is that it may have been a "continue racing" leg as Phil was quick in his approach.
Peach has also mentioned earlier, that bahrain leg could be leg 10. I am unsure though, as to when such "continue legs" are conducted ?

Looking at Flight Stats, only real options straight from Bahrain could be Thailand- haven't seen it in a few seasons, or somewhere on the Indian subcontinent
A connection in Dubai is much more likely, but they would have to be there earlier to catch some of the mid to late morning flights that head east of India
If they did catch that window, it could be anyone's guess- I saw flights to: Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, China, and Japan, as well as India, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh
And that was just a quick leafing through :funny:
If they somehow didn't catch that, options would become much more limited- mainly the Indian Subcontinent (including Nepal)

In the Bahrain Jody mat video, Phil seemed to be hurried and his words short with comments like, it's been a long day, it's been quite a long day, alright put your bags down and then the greeter speaks.
Couple of questions on this interaction. Have previous years' spoilers revealed people following teams, cheering on a team at the mat and posting pictures and video? And, would CBS have any concerns returning to the country in future races because of leaks?
Maybe he had a plane to catch lol.
Sometimes there is a local crowd, we had that in TAR 29.
I think this was a case of perhaps an invited guest or business associate...and somewhere the importance of discretion was not emphasized. TAR has been much more lax about their vendors/associates signing NDA's so we have seen hotels etc posting as well. They do top notch work so cannot second guess their judgement.
But strange to me, I would think for SECURITY alone they would be concerned. We sure are, RFF tries hard to never says exactly where they will be in advance in public here, naming an exact position is too scary in today's atmosphere. Afterwards is safer.
Anyway we are probably the thorn in their shoe. We have to balance the fun of the chase with the safety of the teams and crew, and the GOOD of the show.
That is also why RFF choses to NOT POST THE FINAL 3 FINISH ORDER as well. The SHOW is always more important than the spoilers, and while I think planes/trains/locations/tasks are all great fun to know and dissect, I am less happy with boot lists.
Our compromise is to protect the final 3 order as best we can. If we see the final 3 racing we cannot hide the teams. But if you are hoping to find out who wins here you will be disappointed. We want zillions of viewers watching so our favorite show lives long and prospers.
The SHOW needs some support from ALL of us ...Season 11 was spoiled top to bottom with a full boot list. The actual season was an RFF dud..no suspense, no anticipation, no thrills. We have since then chosen a different path and been much happier as a whole.
Shoot, now it is me who is off topic!! :-[
We'll all sit down in the long wait till airing and figure this out.
Back to Business!

I'm pretty sure this is old info from an earlier race, so I'll put this here.

Is this the end of the Amazing Race? #TAR30
10:19 AM - 20 Oct 2017
Hard to believe that someone thinks TAR would put the mat out at the final location days in advance so a former production person could take selfies with it. Not sure where that was taken. Brooklyn? Dallas?
-
it says #TBT on it..
TBT stands for throw back thursday.. It was a past season.

Dallas. That's the Season 26 finish line.

Yesterday the picture of the woman racer on the diving board was proof that the lifeguards had failed a diving challenge and finished last. Today's version of the truth is that the woman was one of the skiers. Maybe this means the skiers finished last? :knock:

I went to that tweet and in there she replied to one person explaining her reasoning i suppose. And I think she is right on this one. I saw the clip again and the reaction from other person on ship gave it away when answer given was wrong and she had to dive again!. What are the expert's opinion ?
-
That's both the skiers in the diving clip.
-
To me it's pretty obvious one skier doing roadblock and another one waiting for her to finish.
-
I agree that it's not the woman lifeguard walking the plank. She's a bit chunky and the woman on the plank is thin. Probably the blonde skier if I had to guess.
-
IT doesn't really matter who it is..
THat wasn't proof the lifeguards were struggling or anyone is struggling because they got dropped once.
-
No matter who it is, it gives nothing away about where in the task they are. Could be first, could be last. Unless the person who was there live blabbed, no way to tell IMO.
We see one team...nothing to compare to.
-
THIS is interesting though and we haven't commented on it.
What's going on in the cell? Maybe other team member has to find / decipher something??

-

So what can we conclude from this ? Most people were thinking that lifeguards got eliminated since they were unable to do the diving challenge. Now that is proven wrong. Who was eliminated ?
I still see Skiers and Indys together doing that roadblock, also later a picture of those two teams was taken by a local fan. So what are we sure off as of now ?

This roadbloack was tailor made for Lifeguards as it had a diving element to it. If what you are saying in true, then Cody & Jessica got very lucky! But you positive that it wasn't a non elimination leg ?
-
^ Dan, he wouldn't say "you're the last team to arrive" if they indeed weren't, but that's just FYI.
Could you confirm with Peach that the info from this source is legit, Dan? Just so everyone doesn't question it as much.
By the way, since it looks like we're in Asia (or Oceania) for the remaining legs now, I'm guessing there should be quite a lot of sightings from the future legs, so we'll likely find out who's not there, and therefore was eliminated in Bahrain, if anyone's interested in that. :tup:
By the way, even if Lifeguards missed a flight or fell way behind for some other reason... NELs are pre-determined, and if this leg was a NEL (which we don't know that it wasn't), then they would still be in it, even if hours behind.
So I wouldn't count on saying they definitely left in 5th place yet.
ETA: to DontKillMe, I don't know why you're saying that this was a diving challenge. To me it looks like the diving part was just added for the fun of it - i.e. performers have to take a dive if they're wrong with the question(s), they're not diving down to do a task underwater or something.

It appears that the challenge has more to do with answering questions correctly than diving. I don't understand how a challenge with a diving element equates to Cody and Jessica getting lucky (and not the others who are still in the race as well).

Agreed! A confirmation with the admin would do it for all skeptics.
I think you are correct. Maybe it was more of a question/answer challenge than a diving challenge.

He did that one time to Tim & Marie. "You are the last team to arrive - except for one"

need help with something... I was pretty sure I heard Phil say at the start they would go to 5 continents, but I can't find the video of it... its important because if true it means they likely went to Australia after Bahrain.

Isn't it too late for 5 continents ? With supposedly 3 legs left, crossing two continents seems unviable to me.
I think they will either cover Europe, Africa, Asia, North America OR Europe, Africa, Oceania, North America.
Thoughts ?

The Man who took the pics and the video is apparently affiliated with the Bahrain National Stadium. Perhaps there was a task there as well? Cricket? Football? ???

I was there. Prob 20 feet away from Phil.
He was un-miked, was very hoarse, and with the crowd noise I could not hear that at all.
In fact I was disappointed to not hear the traditional __countries, __ continents, __miles .
There is an hour long professional start video out there, maybe that will have it?? I have tapes of him doing the intro x5, but I do not hear that said.
But am sure it was said...just not that I can hear.

Yes Bahrain's part of Asia, but have they done 1 nation asia leg ever ? I have to check on it. Either Asia has been skipped all together or atleast 2 nations have been visited as per my knowledge. Someone correct me if i'm wrong!
Update : I crosschecked for past 10 TAR seasons and I couldn't find a scenario where only 1 asian nation was visited. If an asian continent was touched, atleast 2 nations were visited.

Bahrain IS considered Asia. And Im thinking there are at least 2 legs before finale, so you could be right about Australia.

If they connected in Dubai, and arrived before 9am, they could’ve gone literally anywhere
Indian Subcontinent seems more likely if they didn’t

Yes. Bahrain is an 'affiliated member' of the ICC, which means it doesn't play Test match cricket. (Like Australia, England, etc) Instead, it plays in regional competitors, in other nations around them, such as Qatar, United Arab Emirates (where Pakistan play their home matches), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman. However, I am unsure if they have 'city cricket', as they do here in Australia. DontKillMe, what country are you from? I am also unsure as too which how many children have an interest in the great game. I hope (if it is cricket), it is a too harder a task, as I have played it for many years and I haven't scored over 20 runs in one go :escape

Thank you so much! I was asking about that photo yesterday, only I called it "the bars" photo. Glad to know that.
The drive from the Bahrain Airport to the tree of life is about 48- 54 minutes (of course, not including any tasks along the way.) Interestingly enough there are 3 routes they could take. The most eastern road takes them over water, the others are all inland, so I'd guess they drove along the road that goes over Nabih Salah Island. The road, or at least part of it is called Shakh Jaber A. Al Subah Highway. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Bahrain+Airport,+Muharraq,+Bahrain/Tree+of+Life,+Southern+Governorate,+Bahrain/@26.0677847,50.6224724,63114m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x3e49a6343fdd7993:0xf4c26bbbcf7a1a96!2m2!1d50.6259871!2d26.2697119!1m5!1m1!1s0x3e49ad2161891555:0x6a3b167814b8c131!2m2!1d50.5830047!2d25.9941341!3e0 It nears water in at least 3 places.
It looks like there are about 18 flights a day from Dubai to Bahrain, and visa versa. Flights are about one hour 15 minutes long. Back in Dubai of course, there are so many flights out to everywhere that even if you only look at the east bound flights, they could go almost anywhere.
I don't think we have a confirmed arrival flight in Dubai, or at least not a live sighting. ?? But with the race in Bahrain photos yesterday, I doubt they started the leg in Dubai, then caught the 95 minute flight to Bahrain to continue the leg, but it's slightly possible I guess.
I'm just trying to think of an answer for the "team didn't make it to" in Bahrain, given the number of flights out. The lost passport idea idea seems possible, but if they were only connecting flights and no tasks? That could mean losing it somewhere in the airport in Dubai? I suppose something could have happened in Africa as well, but with that wording, if they are correct, it doesn't sound like an injury.
So, any ideas where that water / dive / questions task was? Of course the airport is practically surrounded by water, so they could have done it there and driven any of the 3 routes to the Tree of Life, or gone to the western side, and then back for the drive to ToL.
ETA the Bahrain Yacht Club is at Sitra (that eastern road) and they have all kinds of activities there, kayaking, diving, so it might be a place TAR could arrange a "walk the plank." Just looking for possible locations and routes.
-

Yes, the guy who posted the video of the diving said "Bahrain Bay," which is 6.8 kms** (corrected from miles) from the airport.

http://www.bahrain.com/en/vp/things-to-do/top-ten-sights/Pages/Bahrain-National-MUseum.aspx#.WeqJEVtSyiQ which might/could be a place the questions came from, TAR does like it's old museums.
Pure speculation of course, places nearby, it's such a small Island, they could do several things.
-
Well.. we can't rule out the possibility of having a full leg in Bahrain, just because of its small area
Remember we do have extremely short legs (TAR13 leg 7) or legs covered very short travel distance (TAR22 leg 2, TAR27 leg 10)
-
Nobody implied that Bahrain was a half-leg, which is in any case absurd given the fact that it dwarves Liechtenstein as well as Monaco.
-
Yeah, there is lots to do in Bahrain, I am trying to figure out HOW a team "didn't make it to Bahrain" though. Lost passport seems likely, but where? Africa or Dubai, and how would you lose it in Dubai if you were just switching planes?
IF that report is true that is, that the unnamed source heard Phil tell "Jody" they were safe, and that the other team didn't make it to that country.
I think the source is production and that's why they aren't naming it, so I tend to believe them. Their conclusions haven't been completely accurate, but the actual spoilers have been.

lost passport or one of the members of the team got extremely sick maybe?
-
I had a friend lose their passport on the plane on the second of three flights- Miami to Lima if I remember correctly (wasnt with them, but remember the retelling of the tale)
Stuff like that CAN happen- haven’t seen the losing of a passport in transit between countries, but isn’t impossible based on my (secondhand) experience
But, I would like a little more before I outright believe it
I’d lend myself to believe it more easily if the info that had been extrapolated from sightings throughout the race had been more right than wrong, but currently it’s not reliable enough on its own for me
-
Well, we'll find out all when it actually goes to air.

Bahrain IS considered Asia. And Im thinking there is still at least 2 legs before finale, so you could be right about Australia.

Thailand would be wonderful. What other asian nations are a possibility (bleak though!) by looking at the flight schedule according to you ?
I think Thailand may not be visited as the Funeral of the king of Thailand is held in the upcoming 5 days
Although teams can go there,however,there are a lot of advices that tourists should pay attention to such as trying to follow formal dress code
As there are 2 more legs, some big cities like Hong Kong,Singapore can be paid attention to as these 2 are the busiest transit city
-
I don’t know why but I just feel like Singapore will be visited.
-
I don’t know why but I just feel like Singapore will be visited.
Singapore was last visited five seasons ago and could not be a fourpeat. Unlikely choice.

But they can use Singapore as airport connection to other Asian countries and Australia/New Zealand but the nearer Dubai airport could provide most of the non-stop flight to the same destination (I read somewhere Emirates and Qatar Airways now provide non-stop flights to Auckland, NZ but there's another story) so. Other than that I agree with you that a Singapore visit would be too soon and does not fit with the underused/unvisited route theme this season.

Again! Do not take this as 100% that Amazing Race is in Singapore/Malaysia but I just saw 2 insta pics from the same user named Jennifer Wong. I am posting their links for the experts to verify whether its true or not! Team Work. Lets do this.

Before this gains any traction, this is NOT a sighting:
Hilal Ahmad @hilalahsoun
Coming ,,, Amazing Race
7:23 AM - 21 Oct 2017
[time stamp is ET. Approx 3 hours ago. This person is in Jammu & Kashmir.]
He has explained twice that he meant "autumn is coming."
To me, the picture he posted looks more like New England or the Appalachians than Jammu or Kashmir. But I've never been to Jammu or Kashmir.
-
Wouldnt it make sense to have atleast one leg in tokyo or china or asia before the final?

Question: there are a lot of starting line vids out there.
Could y'all keep an eye out for any that might include Phil's normal ___continents, ___cities, ___ days?? My clips do not have it, and I do not remember hearing it, but could easily have missed it. Would be helpful to have. :tup:
-
Perhaps the logistics promo was filmed pre-flight/during/post-landing of this trip high over New York.

Does he ever do that at the starting line? I only really remember him doing it to the winners, but it would be super helpful to have!

Isn't that something that he says at the end of the race right before saying who the winner is? I just went back and watched the beginning of 5 seasons and he didn't say that in any of them. He says "The world is waiting for you...good luck...travel safe...go"
This doesn't mean he didn't mention it, just that it's not something that's typically aired at the start of the race.
-
Could have sworn he's at least said "...that will take you across __ continents and more than __ miles" at a starting line before.
-
I think it’s kind of hit or miss- at least for what makes it to air
-
He's said it in the recent seasons:
TAR 29: You are about to pair up with a complete stranger for a 9-country 17-city 36,000-mile race around the world...
TAR 28: In just 21 days, you'll visit 18 cities and 10 countries and travel more than 27,000 miles.
TAR 27: [None aired]
TAR 26: [Opening narration, not to racers] Is it possible to find new love on a 35,000-mile race around the world?
TAR 25: [None aired]
-
Ah, so he hasn't done it for the public starting lines. 25 and 27 were open. And 28 was live but didn't have a proper starting line, it was a video message at home. Clever, Phil :P

Yes he does almost always.
-
It seems that not at public starts though.
Kinda makes sense, as it would make our spoiling job much easier. So makes sense not to say it this season as well.

Geez, if TAR went to Pakistan, that equals ALOTTA trouble! :funny:

Pakistan is more unlikely is too dangerous there to visit.US and Australia already have travel advisories in the country that would not to travel the country.

Appears they are Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Skiers sighting.
Guess that's alright, an underused part of the country :)

it is currently 7:43 am there.. Could they just be starting the leg?
-
I'm trying to watch the periscope. A huge Thailand map was posted on Twitter 21 hours ago. More and more I think their source is Production.
https://twitter.com/ShenShen333/status/921576891357782019
I'm not great with Periscope, will someone be able to get some stills from it?
-
In live sighting, Captain was amazing enough to post the periscope streams. If anyone has good eyes, in the first broadcast, at the end, he encounter the skiers and the clue is visible. Can anyone read it?
-
The additional info seems to suggest Hong Kong is the final destination. Unless they're going to Hong Kong getting a clue there at one Route Marker and then flying off somewhere else.
-

According to the clue that is not the destination and they're headed to Hong Kong.
Unless we've already missed a leg that took place there. Thailand I understand has a bit of a history of being a difficult country to get sightings out of, after most recently Canada 5 went to Bangkok and we had no idea they were ever in that country until the episode preview came up.
-
If they are flying to Hong Kong from Thailand is it possible that this is already leg 11 (if we assume Bahrain was pitstop for leg 9)?
-
Since it's morning and they are just heading to the travel agent, do we think they did a leg in Thailand yesterday?
-
Since it's morning and they are just heading to the travel agent, do we think they did a leg in Thailand yesterday?
Quite possibly. By the timeframe since Bahrain, maybe a Keep on Racing (no Pit Stop break)
-
I think that is most likely.. There has to still be 4 teams left if it's leg 11 so either Thaliand or Bahrain would have to be a NEL.
-
Erased
-
Maybe the Chang Mai Leg was Saturday 10/21?
-
Hong Kong!
IT IS STILL CHINA! :groan:
-
Maybe the Chang Mai Leg was Saturday 10/21?
Most likely yes. Almost all flights from BAH to CNX require overnighting somewhere, so it's doubtful they managed to get there in time to film on Oct 20.
also it's rather interesting that production is suggesting there's "limited availability" on flights from Chiang Mai to Hong Kong when 30 seconds of searching shows at least three better flights...
-
^Definitely interesting. Most likely logistics. Either they want a night Leg in Hong Kong or they need them there around that time to equalize them before moving on to another location not in HK perhaps?
-
An African TAR fan who's a pretty avid follower of this board just tweeted something interesting. If the letters of the connections and destinations are arranged correctly, he may actually be onto something. Check it out.

The finale is not in Atlanta...
Expecting the predictable, there's a few California cities that start with A, i.e. Anaheim
-
I still think it will an LA finale leg! :res:
-
Also Germany didn't host anything this season
-
Should be a west coast city.
-
How could do Chiang Mai is a TBC leg before getting to Hong Kong for today? It could still be a F5 and could be a secind NEL in a row?
-
^Definitely interesting. Most likely logistics. Either they want a night Leg in Hong Kong or they need them there around that time to equalize them before moving on to another location not in HK perhaps?
But they wouldn't need to equalize them with forced flights though; if they're traveling somewhere else then all they have to do is force teams to sign up for whatever bus/train/plane/who knows they're taking.
Incidentally I'm on my phone so I can't cap the periscope but the temple complex the skiers are exiting is Wat Ho Tham inside the Wat Chedi Luang temple complex. :angel
-
How could do Chiang Mai is a TBC leg before getting to Hong Kong for today? It could still be a F5 and could be a secind NEL in a row?
nope highly doubt that.. IF this is leg 11 they are down to four.. Either Chiang Mai was TBC/NEL or Bahrain was but not both.
-
How could do Chiang Mai is a TBC leg before getting to Hong Kong for today? It could still be a F5 and could be a secind NEL in a row?
I know all is rumors , but its rumored that the liefguards were eliminated in Bahrain, so the 4 remaining teams might have did a leg in Chiang Mai and it could have been a NEL, with hong kong as the final leg determining the final 3 .
-
How are we sure Chang Mai and Hong Kong aren't one leg?
-
But they wouldn't need to equalize them with forced flights though; if they're traveling somewhere else then all they have to do is force teams to sign up for whatever bus/train/plane/who knows they're taking.
True.
On that same note, would they really have teams fly specifically to Hong Kong just to get them somewhere else instead of just connecting through straight to the final destination? In today's TAR? It's pretty doubtful I would say.
How are we sure Chang Mai and Hong Kong aren't one leg?
It could be. Very TAR Canada 5 of them. But I doubt they'd only do half a Leg in either country. It would have to be a TBC/KOR Leg at the very least.

I've been seeing this guy's tweets about TAR for years. He's an obsessed fan like most of us. However, most of what he tweets is just stuff he's seen elsewhere. In addition to the flaws that have already been pointed out, I have trouble believing in him as a reliable source.
We have probably just made his day though. :conf:
-
How are we sure Chang Mai and Hong Kong aren't one leg?
Unlikely, but could be a possibility!

I am leaning toward highly unlikely.

Why does the clue give them specific instructions for flights? Like the connecting flight. From the show they make it seem like they have to find their own flight.

Sometimes the show will make them take specific flights, for various reasons. Other times teams have to find their own.
-

I'd guess because in the very early seasons, back when teams had free reign to book their own flights, we had incidents where a team would botch it and end up almost a day behind, or adversely sometimes in their favor, almost a day ahead of everyone else. Also to avoid any risk of them accidentally transferring through somewhere they shouldn't for safety reasons.
They don't really want things like that anymore, better to keep them all moderately bunched together.
-

To make them to be on the same plane before starting the leg I guess. Also to avoid them finding some maraculous flight which puts one team in lead ahead of others for many hours. I recall there was a huge lead of 7 hours by finding a great flight at the airport in tar 5 in Egypt!

That periscope guy John Mho is heading to the airport now, we might get lucky.

I'll throw this in here because it's not a sighting.....yet.
Johnny @patschampions 36m36 minutes ago
@JohnMho Hi! saw your amazing race scope, did you by any chance see this couple at all during your trip near the 2 girls? #tar30 #jody

@JohnMho
Replying to @patschampions
No I haven't but heading to airport now let's see :)
6:54 PM - 21 Oct 2017
John Ho is the guy who shot the Periscope videos. If he's going to the airport in Chiang Mai now, he'll likely see the other teams, so it should be worth keeping an eye on his Twitter account.
-
Someone tweeted him the flight info, and photos of the other racers too.

I'd be happy! Anchorage! I want Alaska again.
-

should probably tweet him the lifeguards picture too just incase that info of them being eliminated wasn't accurate..

Well, he has everything, including the gate number, so here's hoping he films any two people together with backpacks.
-
Well we've got one that's safe through Bahrain, the skiers.

No. All budget and security,
-
Guys, let's keep in mind the Racer's security and not pinpoint future locations okay? The damage re flight is done, but be very careful from here on out.
-
Well considering the crew allowed the guy to Periscope the whole thing, maybe TARUS is becoming a little more loose when it comes to keeping locations and stuff secret. The more social media chatter, even if live sightings, the better. :spy:
-
Didn't see the other post...nvm.
-
Was looking at the Timeline Thread and I noticed something, normally TAR has 3 double-country legs, 2 double-country legs for other seasons. This season, there's only 1 which is France X2.
-
So Hong Kong is the last leg?
I see the picture and they will land in Hong Kong around 6-7pm in Hong Kong time
And from the periscope,there should be 4 teams according to him
If Hong Kong is the last destination, I think they may need to have a late-night leg
-

There's a large time gap around Zimbabwe, which could very well have been a rural second leg there. A leg is missing, no doubt.
-
How long until the flight takes off?
-

Certainly I agree on this. We confirmed that France is having a true double leg (Saint-Tropez and Arles). The missing leg in Zimbabwe remains speculated just like the speculated missing leg gap between Hanoi and Maun on TAR 22.

I was thinking about the same thing. I really think Zimbabwe has another leg, which we may have not seen or gotten info. Putting into perspective the production's eyes. I would not spend money on multiple connections and spend just 1 leg there. Just my 2 cents.

OK SO far have sightings of skiers and Jody at airport. About to post a pic on twitter or Cody waiting st the gate.

From I have seen in John's periscope,he says there are 4 teams
And he sees a pink team ask for a direction whether they should go to international depature/domestic departure
-
The pink team is the skiers. Its on his periscope.
-
Mr ho the periscope guy just saw he skiers again live at the airport, I ask him when he saw them first back in the city and he said 3 hours ago. Very strange no other teams were there with 3 hours gap? Either skiers are far ahead or they are lost and behind :spy:

no cody is there. I just saw a picture of him.
-
guess the question now is who else is still in it!
-

well if the rumor about the lifeguards is true it is probably racers and debaters.
Even if this is leg 11 leg 10 was probably NEL.

When he saw them in the city, they were asking for a travel agency, so I think they were starting the leg.
-
Many of us don't use Periscope. Could someone narrate it? Upload to YT?
-
Interesting how we did not get any sighting of them in Chiang Mai, only them leaving the Thailand.
-

He only got a clip of the skiers in front of burger king then running around a few times. He didn't follow them cause he was waiting for his wife before they went to their flight. But he was kind enough to walk to where the teams would be waiting and he didn't find any of them here so he walked to where his flight was answering questions.
-

So basically the periscope starts with Mr. Ho sees the skiers are finding the departing terminals
And he sees the skiers walk in the wrong way (In fact they are going to Bangkok,Thailand)
And after 3-4 minute,he sees the skiers rush to the domestic departure
The remaining part of the live is just about talking how excited to be on TAR (As the cameraman may take a few shots of him) and try to find the teams but in vain
-
You can see them on his twitter feed
https://twitter.com/JohnMho
First video he is walking around Chiang Mai, at the end of this video is where he meets them and they ask him for help
2nd video shows the skiers getting into a car
3rd one is at the airport. Skiers are running looking for the correct terminal.
-
So the pic of Cody is not from John Ho?
-
I have been asked for my friends looking for any speculations in Hong Kong
Due to a late night leg is going to be happened in Hong Kong, I think they may finish the leg at night
And may start the finale leg on October 23 afternoon-night
Regarding to the flights in the night which depart from Hong Kong to US
(And they probably take the cathay pacific airlines with reference to S27 experience)
The possible locations are:
Los angeles
San Francisco
Dallas
NYC
Anchorage
Boston
Newark

its from a different source

Can we assume that’s Jody out of the race? Sitting next to a producer and not seen with the skiers (if this is correct)

The instructions from the clue show that they are to fly on a specific flight. So there is only 1 apparently

Mr. Ho didn't see anyone but the skiers. Following your evidence, that would mean they already won.
-
Mr HO only saw 1 team, the skiers. That is it. He did not see any other team.
-
Mr ho saw the skiers in front of burger king around 1130 pm eastern on periscope.
I ask the girl on twitter who got the Cody pic in airport when it was taken and she said 15 min ago to when she posted it on twitter. That was around 1145 pm eastern
-
The guy in the photo looks older than Matt Schmidt.. he doesn't like him in my opinion
-
Many of us don't use Periscope. Could someone narrate it? Upload to YT?
You don't need to know how to use Periscope or reupload the vid to YT. The replays work fine in a regular browser on a computer. Click Play and go.

who knows? bathroom? getting something to drink? anything that causes you to get up for a minute at the airport.

yes. camera man. not a producer!

Georgia, I just watch on my PC, I don't have Periscope either.
So, I want to be sure I'm clear on this latest instruction.
Even if Twitter posters have planes and flights and gates, you don't want it posted here?
-
I really hope not seeing sightings of debaters and Indy means skiers and Jody are in front of pack, I don't want them stuck with the speed bump for the last leg before f3
-

Well Jody is waiting on the flight and there before other teams (skiers went to wrong location at first)... I would guess Jody and skiers ahead of the other teams
-
Front of the pack doesn't matter at this point. They are all on even ground since they are travelling together. Its an equalizer. All that matters is that the teams make it to the airport on time

In RFF, we don't post that kind of sighting even if it is over Twitter or Insta... because the production can change their plan. We can post that after teams arrive the city.

Well if this is the start of leg 11, and leg 10 was a NEL than the last team to arrive to the airport may very likely have a speedbump and be at a disadvantage for this leg of the race.. This is all speculation of course..
Are we assuming this is the start of leg 11?

OK. Twitter has millions of people though, so if they were going to change things, I think twitter would be a bigger indicator for them. Glad to know that rule here!

In RFF, we don't post that kind of sighting even if it is over Twitter or Insta... because the production can change their plan. We can post that after teams arrive the city.
We don't post where teams will be at XYZ future times, to prevent the risk of possible harm to the racers.
A pic of someone sitting in a airport is okay, it is a live sighting.
-
Front of the pack doesn't matter at this point. They are all on even ground since they are travelling together. Its an equalizer. All that matters is that the teams make it to the airport on time
Correct. Getting a good seat may matter though! In this case they are all connecting so there is no advantage.
-
It does matter, because there's likely a speed bump in the next leg.
-
Being in the front right now doesn't matter. It always matters if you are last at the end of the previous leg. But the order of how they got to the airport doesn't matter
-
it could be telling though. if they finished so far in last, they may get to the airport later.

might be a stretch but rewatch the periscope,
are they allowed to get food while waiting at the airport? This girl in one of the shops similar to jess

Yes, it's just a matter of budgeting. I don't think that woman is Jess. Is it even the same woman in both stills?

Looking at the #amazingrace I see lots of people asking their friends to keep an eye out for the teams in Hong Kong. Excited to see pics :conf:
-
The pic of Cody is def at Chiang Mai airport
It seems to match first floor, right by the stairs/escalators up to departure floor
There’s another insta pic from a day ago of what seems to be the same area (different angle)
But the chairs and carpet match perfectly, as well as the wall behind them
But it just seems like Cody is waiting for Jess to do something before they head to the gates

It could probably mean that the flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok is delayed, therefore the return flight also gets delayed.

Good finds dangambler and DontKillMe, we can now expect them to arrive at Hong Kong sometime past 7. ETA is 7:35 pm HK Time.

It's pretty safe to assume that the leg in Chiang mai was either an elimination or non.
If it was an elimination leg, either debaters or Indy was eliminated since we saw Jody and skiers at the airport for the flight to Hong Kong.
If it was a NEL then they all made it to Hong Kong

I agree partly though. But if you eliminate 1 more team in Leg 10. Then Leg 11 becomes a keep on racing leg mostly and as per my knowledge I doubt if a keep on racing leg has happened with 3 teams. Someone verify it please.
So what I think is :
Leg 9 : Bahrian (Lifeguards elimination based on Dangambler's source ; 5->4 teams)
Leg 10 : Thailand (NEL)
Leg 11 : HongKong ( can be either continue on racing leg OR elimination leg)
Leg 12 : USA (if it was continue on racing leg, then 4 teams compete for finals OR if its simple elimination leg, 3 teams compete for it)

If they do a TBC on the penultimate leg (which I doubt), they'll eliminate one of the F4 midway through the leg, a la Brooke & Robbie in TAR25 and Mike & Rochelle in TAR26.

So is Hong Kong 100% true?
I am going to rush to the airport after I off work and hopefully reach there by 7pm

Yes, :conf: They won't be arriving there before 7 anyway, their flight is delayed.

Or there are 4 teams racing, one gets eliminated in HK, and 3 go to the Finale. The straightforward usual.

yeah as opposed to *all* the other options that a leg could *possibly* be like a half-elim which is my personal favourite

Was Bahrain a NEL or EL?

If night leg in HK might not happen, teams may wait for hours of operation for the next morning just like as case with the theory of Zimbabwe leg.

Well, the new pics in Chiang Mai's airport make it official. Lifeguards are indeed out at F5.

Well, there are two girls wearing pink in the pic below and a girl on the right, covered by the male debater (?) and just beside the blonde girl.
So who are they other than one of them is female debater?

Pink Shirt Girls are Skiers obviously. The other blonde girl looks like she's leaning on the side of the male debater (Henry) so it must be the female debater (Evan).

So what could be possible tasks for a night leg in Hong Kong. And on a Sunday night too.
Fun to note that the last solo HK leg (TAR17) was also a night leg.

I can also see Cody sitting next to brunette skier and also one of the indy's standing in the picture. That means all are starting from a clean slate. Except, one team has to do a speed bump. I wonder which team!

Here's something interesting. Phil said at the starting line something about a "twist" right. So we have final 3 in Hong Kong, KOR and then finale in the United States.

Chiang Mai is a NEL?
Yes! If we go by Dangambler's source of Lifeguards EL in Bahrain Leg 9. Then next leg 10, which apparently was thailand becomes NEL since we saw no Lifeguards at the airport also but did see all other 4 teams. So no one got eliminated.
-
ya somebody posted in sightings a picture of the speedbump sign and the debaters picture on it in Hong Kong.
That means they got last in Chiang Mai and it was a NEL
-
Wouldn't all four teams continue to fly together anyway at this point? Decoy team AND to be there at the finish line. ???
Wow, looks like people in HK have already staked out the peak with finding that speed bump up there already. Good work!
We will probably get quite a few good spoilers. I'm picturing a couple dozen people gathered up there waiting.
-
Cathay Pacific 654 arrived 40 minutes ago. Victoria Peak is a 49-minute drive from Hong Kong International Airport. They could be already on their way to a Route Info.

I am from hong Kong but I can tell if they take taxi,it will take a lot more time for them (As the road to the Peak is so congested especially at night)
And I think they have a high possibility to go to the Metro/take the bus from HKG to Central
And take the tram from Admiralty to the Peak
-
They would have possibly to go through customs which takes a lot of time, right?
-
Based on the decoration of the Speed Bump board I'm guessing to make lanterns for the mid-autumn festival (which just passed)?

For pitstop,I think it will be in crowded areas in Hong Kong (Like Statue Square in TAR17)
-
Peach, while the debaters r doing their speed bump has all the other teams left with their next clue ? Or did the debaters somehow get ahead of everyone
-
damn it... Hong Kong again... I am from Macau and I never saw them and they already visited Macau twice before.... please come to Macau this time.
-
The Pitstop I bet that would likely to be at Kowloon Walled City Park. This has done in several TARs but has never in the US version.
-

Just so people don't get confused, the eliminated team will travel with production to the final city. Probably not with the final three teams. Also, it's been many seasons since they have run a decoy team on the final leg, so don't be expecting to see one.

Which is the more difficult part in a leg ? DETOUR or ROADBLOCK
-
Which is the more difficult part in a leg ? DETOUR or ROADBLOCK
Yes.
Depends on the case. Sometimes the roadblock is more difficult, sometimes the detour is. Sometimes the editing will confuse the issue too.
-
Which is the more difficult part in a leg ? DETOUR or ROADBLOCK
it depends.. The good thing about a detour is you can work together with your partner and if one is too challenging you can leave and try the other one.
Where as a roadblock once you chose a person to do it you are locked in and cannot trade with your partner (and they cannot help you).. Which is why a lot of teams get stuck on roadblocks.
Since this is leg 11 though there is no longer a trade off rule (if it is like past previous season) for the roadblock so each team will likely have their strongest person doing the roadblock.

Yes.

Okay. Also since last leg has no roadblock, in the leg before that, any member can perform the same, regardless of whether s/he did the roadblock in last to last leg ?
-
We have seen no task except the ARI on the peak and Debaters' speed bump
No way to deduce which task is more difficu;t

Gotcha! Thanks, thats some valuable info. It'll be fun watching Leg 11 roadblock then!! Stonger players will butt heads.
-
No no no, there’s no rule that teams have to trade off Roadblocks, just that they have to share an equal amount
If one person did most of the roadblocks on the front half, they would eventually get stuck with the partner having to do all the rest
I’ve seen where teams get stuck with someone not well suited for the task having to do the roadblock because the team didn’t share roadblocks properly
-
? Did the sighters lose the teams or something, we were so spoiled when they landed with pics and updates and now its just gone. lol :chute:

I know that, but that ended leg 9 last season and leg 10 many seasons prior, so the rule is irrelavent for this leg.

It's 1:20 in the morning there (weird and unique thing about China is the whole country all shares one timezone). The sighters are probably all asleep now.

It's actually 12:20 there. Don't fret jboy224, there might be others that could snap pics other than our trusted sighters. Great job to our Hong Kong team!! Hong Kong is still alive at this time of the night.

nope, it's only 12:25 in the morning there in Hong Kong (and whole China).
I am from Macau and I really hope they visit again... by the way I am gonna sleep.

I do agree that sometimes it becomes a non-issue in the later stages of some races, but not all
Teams were still keeping things even through the penultimate leg in TAR28, or else Matt, Cole, and maybe even Korey would’ve done that monument roadblock over Dana, Sheri and Tyler and the count would’ve been 8-6 for all

did that person say if they were staying there to see each team arrive?
Nope. She left. Didn't stay long to see any teams arrive.
Darn. The leg is probably over by now so it stinks we got no teams at the pitstop sightings.
-
I guess the leg is over? Do we have any sightings on the pit stop while teams arriving?

Leg is over. Not sure about pitstop arrival.
No pics with teams at the pitstop yet (if anyone took them)

Pit Stop is the junction of Johnston Rd and Wan Chai Rd (https://www.google.com/maps/@22.2767312,114.175138,3a,75y,124.42h,97.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbNhsy88DhiIOVEEn1t-Cvg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

Chun Wui Mansion is Wrong...and I fall for it... :groan:
It is in 136 Wan Chai Road, a road in front of the new apartment "L Wanchai", it took me an hour to find this pit stop, and when I was there, the crew is packing everything...

Oh, no. The street address is visible in the photo on the right. Were you able to find out ANYTHING? Talk to anyone who was there when teams arrived?

Phil is there talking to the Indy guys but they took away the mat?

Phil went to the bar ? Maybe he telling Indy they maxed the time? And are out? https://twitter.com/newbiehoh/status/922173951479918593

So, does that mean that Indy Drivers were potentially eliminated, then? If Phil's talking to them with the cameras and there's no mat, would that indicate that they were last or unable to complete one of the tasks?

When I was here, I was told by another fans Phil went to eliminated the 4th team in LKF....but I doubt it as he didn't really see the whole scene
-
I think Indy drivers couldn't complete the puzzle in time...

I think that's what happened...look above.
-
Uh oh. When Phil is talking to a team somewhere other than the mat, that's always a bad sign. As in, being unable to finish a task there, and he has to come over and eliminate them because everyone else is already checked in.
-
OMG...so the two guys is really 4th...
-
Team's worst nightmare, an elimination on the field.
-
OMG...so the two guys is really 4th...
It confirms what the person told you. Everyone in the photo looks solemn, too.
-
look at the racecar drivers feet.. That is the closed breifcase we saw cody unlocking in the task? Maybe they couldn't figure out the code?
-
Will Phil come back to Wan Chai Road? I wish I can see him at least once for a selfie...
I am sitting in the 24 hrs mc Donald next to it in hope he is hungry and want a burger...
But with the LLF thing, I think he is not coming back...
-
look at the racecar drivers feet.. That is the closed breifcase we saw cody unlocking in the task? Maybe they couldn't figure out the code?
And the briefcase is set down closer to Phil and not the Indy drivers.

ya they were supposed to open it and get a map or clue inside for their next destination.. My guess is they couldn't get it open by the time all the other teams finished so phil went to them and eliminated them.
-
That really does suck for the Indy Drivers. After so many legs of not knowing who the mystery team was, I was excited when I found out it was them, and I can't even explain why.
Honestly, going out this way is probably worse than even with bad luck or narrowly losing to another team, in my opinion.

I was too. The good thing is, as for all teams that go out in 4th place, is they got to see every country visited this year and I guess that's a pretty cool thing to say. Maybe they got some trips or prizes along the way. I'll still root for um!
-
although.. Five M/M teams and none of them made it to the finale.. That is insane..
I do feel bad for the drivers though.. It sucks when you get stuck on something espically so close to the end.
-
I guess we know the final 3. In TAR 23, none of the 5 MM teams made the finals too.
This season, we found 1 U-turn, 2 Speedbump'd teams ( 1 indirectly) and 7 pitstops!!! :conf:
-

Right. They were so close to making F3. Dang, but that means Debaters came through and made it despite the speed bump? :didimiss:

ya debaters are smart.. That code the racecar drivers got stuck on is right in their wheelhouse. Who knows how long the poor guys would have been there doing that had phil not came to them.

I guess so. Sometimes, Speed Bumps are easier to solve if you have the time to catch up to other teams. Seeing as the Indy Drivers got stuck on this one puzzle, presumably it allowed for the Debaters to catch up and pass them at some point. They all were on the same flight, so they all pretty much started the leg at the exact same time. If the Speed Bump took only an additional 20 minutes, they could have powered through the rest of the tasks with ease.
-
So 3 out of 4 teams in this pic (rip yoga moms) made to F3? Wonder if it's just coincidence or they made early agreement to help each other out if possible.
-
This final 3 is really good and they are all threats.
The debaters will be a very threat to Jody and skiers with the mental puzzle in the last leg of the whole journey.

Doesn't seem like there was an agreement. Remember in Prague when Jody weren't spotted with the group of Skiers, Debaters, and Twins? And Jody was sitting by themselves in the front away from Debaters, Twins, and Lifeguards who were bunched together on the flight from Zurich.

Agreed. Although I don't know what the Skiers or Debaters are like and they could very well piss me off when the season comes out (much like Jody could also piss me off, despite me being fans of them), I can acknowledge how strong they are. Obviously they are if they got this far, but also because I believe all three teams have been mostly in the front of the pack. I know Jody have been lower down in the rankings compared to the Skiers (not sure about Debaters), but they've all seemed to work very hard.
Now, if none of the teams can end up another Brooke/Scott, that would be very helpful in rooting for them when the season starts up. Unfortunately, there's always that one team in F3 that pisses me off from the beginning.
Even as a Jody fan, I'm ok if they get third place, because they got farther than I expected them to. Though I'd really like them to beat out the current BB/TAR crossover team, Rachel/Brendon, and get at least second.
-
Assuming there's some form of grand memory challenge as per usual in the final leg, if smarts got the Debaters through the race, I could very well see them having the edge there. A la Amy & Maya, who weren't exactly physically fit people.
-
Well the Debaters look pretty fit. So if they're smart and reasonably fit, that's a pretty good combination.

yep.. They got lucky with that f4 NEL.. MIght have just won them $1 million dollars.
-

I kinda hope they don't :D :angel
Though, at least, I don't think any team will ever even get the chance to reach the Final 3 twice considering TAR's future.
-
The crew is finally packing everything else in the pit stop now, and I don't see Phil anymore...
It seems s late and I am heading home now. I wonder if they start the leg on the exact same place tmr...

Jody is already better than Brenchel imo.. Brenchel played against weaker competition on season 20 and still barely squeaked by never winning a single leg.
-
Erased
-
I've only watched about 5 seasons. Has that happened before where Phil goes to eliminate a team without them finishing the leg?

The competition this season looks fierce. A lot of sharp and fit teams that have dominated in their respective fields.
-

yes it happens.. If he doesn't do that than he has to be out there all night.. Phil needs his rest too.
-

Yes, twice last season, in fact. It's mainly when everyone's already checked in and that team's so far behind they're still working on a task.
-
so sad if Indy are eliminated that way :( , one of my pre-race favorites. I was so excited when they were still on the race after no sighting for so many legs. Other than that, i really want MM vs MF vs FF team in the finale
-
the most memorable time i remember phil going to tell someone they lost is in that haybell challenge finding the clue in the haybells in the farm.

This might beat that. Telling the team on a crowded party street with drunken people being loud all around.
-
Indy and Debaters were seen last at the briefcase puzzle challenge near the bar.
Debaters must have figured it out and indy must have been stumped.
a twitter user said that the skiers arrived there with them too, so its looking like Jody beat them to it and got first since this pic was taken a while after jody already completed it.

I didn't realize they were handcuffed to the suitcase. Maybe they had to mix drinks with it attached?

Walking all the way wrong to the chung wui building is my biggest mistake, I should have read the clue in RFF carefully which clearly said Wan Chai Road.
The reason why someone mention Ching Wui Road is because they have the exactly same sign of 1890-1930 stand...So when I arrived the pit stop and realised it is all over, it's just like I got eliminated without a pit stop 😩
The only thing I saw is the clue box...
End of my Race story :(

It's a good story even without a happy ending.

At least you could see a cluebox. It's more than I can say, and they were filming only 15 blocks away from my home. :)
-
I was going to ask if there was possibly a fast forward in this leg but doesnt that mean you do a task and go automatically to the pitstop? all teams were sighted at the bar so not likely unless they all declined

I took a taxi from Kowloon to Wan Chai, the moment I get of the Taxi, I am too excited and start to run, My iPhone fly to the air in a sudden, I was like OMFG, and thanks god it didn't break. That's the best part of my story in the beginning.
Anyway, I am glad that the debater and Jody make it.
Now I have to make a choice and I am gonna pick debaters, the real dating version of the blind dating version of Vanck and Ashton...lol
To be honest, Asia male with a "Non-Asian" female couple is not that common compared to "Non-Asian" male with a Asian female couple.
Since we already have a Cindy and Ernie as a winner representative of the Asian girl one, It is time for Asian boy - Henry & Evan!
-
You were an important part of today. What you said about Phil leaving the matt to eliminate a team was great information.
-
How is TAR going to stop the spoilers in a populated city?
Can't be stopped anywhere at this point. People have been actively rounded up all over the place and aggressively encouraged to be on the lookout, take pics, videos etc. Honestly, no way the ending can't be ruined now. Lesson learned. No more spoiler sites for me. (No offense to those who like them!) I'm sure the winner will be announced all over the Internet in a couple of days so no need to watch TAR 30 for me. Like I said, lesson learned. :(
-
The rules on this board are that for the safety of crew and teams, we don't post future locations until the teams are on there way.
-
aribb19, read last post in sightings thread.
Clueless, it's really unlikely to be spoiled if you withdraw from any TAR discussion forums and stop following people that might post spoilers on twitter. There is always a way.
-
Not trying to be argumentative but sincerely confused. How does not posting future locations reconcile with all the posts of future flights from various airports other that a lack of certainty? Also, if hints of future locations aren't posted how will we get sightings in the future? Isn't production responsible for providing and ensuring team security?
-
Guys Info is NOT the point. Right or Wrong.
The point is that from day one here The FIRST POST IN SPOILERS SAYS NO FUTURE INFO!!
How would you feel if a crazy loon targeted TAR? Because they knew days ahead where and when they would be?
It is highly dangerous and against our rules, so DO NOT DO IT AGAIN.
An hour maybe, days no.
And THAT is a MODERATOR call.
I have no control over others, if they want to be irresponsible I cannot help it. But here you do it again, and that's it.
PLEASE READ POST #1 CLOSELY IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.
It is potentially DANGEROUS to tell today's world where teams will be ahead of time..
It is NOT allowed here at RFF and I hope other thoughtful posters will consider that as well.
You can trust that RFF has things well in hand, and you will be welcome to join us at the right time for more fun.
RULES:
No location info to be revealed before teams are on the way. (I'll let you know when!)
NO spoiling of the Final 3 Finish order.
Respect each other, love the game, and have a super fun time!

We protect 3 things here.
The Start Line, The Finish Line , and the Final 3 Finish order.
We also do not post concrete info re locations in advance. Lack of certainty IS the deal.
That is our choice, it is not up for discussion.
We have covered this over and over again, and I am sorry some of you may not agree.
This is one case that we feel it is the RIGHT thing to do.
Spoilers are fun, but even taking the slightest risk of endangering our racers, or beloved crew is not happening here.
Neither is HURTING the show by publishing the winner order. I have been there done that in Season 11 when a top to bottom boot list was shared. It ruined the anticipation and the buzz and the suspense. Same more recently.
We need good ratings, so this is a small give back to TAR for all the joy they give us.
Move on okay? No further discussion on this now... maybe later when we have all slept a week.

Highly unlikely. They've never done a fast forward this late in the race and I doubt they ever will. It would suck some of the drama out of the leg and make cab driver luck in getting to the clue box first even more important. They should be working to make cab drivers less important, not more.

I dunno we can't really talk about anything from this point on.. Now that we know the final 3.
-
I guess we could talk about when we might think TAR30 will premiere...
-
The job does not end here. Experience taught us that sightings can still pop up even after the season filming is over. Wouldn't be the first time neither the last one.

I've only watched 3 seasons... but this seems like a really stout cast compared to the seasons I watched when they had very few what id consider athletes

If you have any doubts about it, go the archive section, pick a previous season and see the live sightings and you will see that there are lot of pics and info of each final leg. However, you'll never find info about who won, who was second or third place.
-
if you're in HK and want to go to airport to possibly see them hit me up and I can give you an idea of where we believe they will be
-
If you look at past seasons, you will also see that not everybody is interested in the boot order. Many just like to know info on the routes, detours, roadblocks, etc.

It was when 5 teams were remaining and were to be cut to 4 teams for next leg. It was Leg 10.

That was in the Final Five, and TAR25 also had one. It's also the latest a Fast Forward has popped up in the Race for quite some time.
-
although.. Five M/M teams and none of them made it to the finale.. That is insane..
I guess we know the final 3. In TAR 23, none of the 5 MM teams made the finals [either].
I'm totally okay with this. As I said several pages back, consider it another big dose of karma for CBS and their casting department. They really thought that America would like a whopping FIVE men's teams in the cast? That was just way too many. Season after season, we get a meager number of women's teams, yet they feel okay overcasting and overloading us with four and, three times (TAR4, TAR23, and now TAR30), five men's teams?! Casting?! So to have none of them make it to the end yet again makes me all giddy inside.
This is a decent parallel to TAR23, though: five men's teams, all of them eliminated before the end, with four of them falling in a row. Rowan & Shane, Chester & Ephraim, Brandon & Adam, and Tim & Danny for TAR23, and Joey & Tim (Eaters), Shaun & Cedric (NBA), Trevor & Chris (Violinists), and Eric & Daniel (Twins) for TAR30. And the final men's team gets the ax right before the end -- Leo & Jamal for TAR23, and now Alex & Connor (Indy) for TAR30. In addition, one coed team and two women's teams were eliminated over the course of each season -- Hoskote & Naina, Nicky & Kim, and Ally & Ashley for TAR23, and now Kayla & Dessie (Ring Girls), April & Sarah (Yoga Moms), and Lucas & Brittany (Lifeguards) for TAR30.
Good parallel, and good end result for this leg.
So Cody & Jessica (Jody), Henry & Evan (Debaters), and Jen & Kristi (Skiers) are our F3, huh? All three have sounded like they were in front at different times (with Jen & Kristi sounding like they were in or near the front a bit more than the other two), so it could be a tough race to the end. Hoping there is one.
And I'm just glad that another women's team has finally cracked the F3 after so long! I think Amy & Maya were our last one to do so five seasons ago, right? So Jen & Kristi are the magic tenth one to make it there, following Lyn & Karlyn (TAR10), Dustin & Kandice (TAR11), Charla & Mirna (TAR11), Jaime & Cara (TAR14), Brook & Claire (TAR17), Nat & Kat (TAR17), Kisha & Jen (TAR18), Mona & Beth (TAR22), and Amy & Maya (TAR25). Congrats, ladies, for joining that super-rare club of women's teams who reach the end! After the other two were booted so soon this season, I really worried for them, but they turned out to be one of the strongest teams this season, if not the strongest (hopefully)!
Either way, with Cody & Jessica at the end, Paul Abrahamian's head must be exploding right now. Or it will be when he hears of this.
Whew. Sorry for all the trivia. Just had to vent my excitement about this somehow. :)

IK no talk about the finale location, but i recall phil saying something about heights, imagine for a crazy first that he has the finish line at the top of something very BIG they have to climb too?
:spy:
would make for very good tv, *are you scared to climb to win a mill?* and would have us at the edge of our seats if there was a race to the top

We'll be discussing EVERYTHING right thru the last episode airs...and then some.

I remember that, wasnt that for allstars .
this is a big season since its 30. I hope they go all out and make it a crazy finish line. it has to do something with heights because we didnt see anything crazy height wise for spoilers in the legs.

although.. Five M/M teams and none of them made it to the finale.. That is insane..
I guess we know the final 3. In TAR 23, none of the 5 MM teams made the finals [either].
I'm totally okay with this. As I said several pages back, consider it another big dose of karma for CBS and their casting department. They really thought that America would like a whopping FIVE men's teams in the cast? That was just way too many. Season after season, we get a meager number of women's teams, yet they feel okay overcasting and overloading us with four and, three times (TAR4, TAR23, and now TAR30), five men's teams?! WTF, casting?! So to have none of them make it to the end yet again makes me all giddy inside.
This is a decent parallel to TAR23, though: five men's teams, all of them eliminated before the end, with four of them falling in a row. Rowan & Shane, Chester & Ephraim, Brandon & Adam, and Tim & Danny for TAR23, and Joey & Tim (Eaters), Shaun & Cedric (NBA), Trevor & Chris (Violinists), and Eric & Daniel (Twins) for TAR30. And the final men's team gets the ax right before the end -- Leo & Jamal for TAR23, and now Alex & Connor (Indy) for TAR30. In addition, one coed team and two women's teams were eliminated over the course of each season -- Hoskote & Naina, Nicky & Kim, and Ally & Ashley for TAR23, and now Kayla & Dessie (Ring Girls), April & Sarah (Yoga Moms), and Lucas & Brittany (Lifeguards) for TAR30.
Good parallel, and good end result for this leg.
So Cody & Jessica (Jody), Henry & Evan (Debaters), and Jen & Kristi (Skiers) are our F3, huh? All three have sounded like they were in front at different times (with Jen & Kristi sounding like they were in or near the front a bit more than the other two), so it could be a tough race to the end. Hoping there is one.
And I'm just glad that another women's team has finally cracked the F3 after so long! I think Amy & Maya were our last one to do so five seasons ago, right? So Jen & Kristi are the magic tenth one to make it there, following Lyn & Karlyn (TAR10), Dustin & Kandice (TAR11), Charla & Mirna (TAR11), Jaime & Cara (TAR14), Brook & Claire (TAR17), Nat & Kat (TAR17), Kisha & Jen (TAR18), Mona & Beth (TAR22), and Amy & Maya (TAR25). Congrats, ladies, for joining that super-rare club of women's teams who reach the end! After the other two were booted so soon this season, I really worried for them, but they turned out to be one of the strongest teams this season, if not the strongest (hopefully)!
Either way, with Cody & Jessica at the end, Paul Abrahamian's head must be exploding right now. Or it will be when he hears of this.
Whew. Sorry for all the trivia. Just had to vent my excitement about this somehow. :)
Sorry, but you forgot that Caroline & Jennifer also made F3 in that season that shall not be named, so that makes eleven F/F teams to make it.
-
I've only watched about 5 seasons. Has that happened before where Phil goes to eliminate a team without them finishing the leg?
Yeah. It usually happens about once a season
I think 5 or 6 times in all? Our TAR Wiki would have that info, go post in Q's and it will get answered.

From the top of my head: yes. TAR5/6/15/16/23/29 are the ones that quickly come to mind.

Yep. You got all of those right.
TAR5: Marshall & Lance on leg six.
TAR6: Lena & Kristy on leg three.
TAR15: Maria & Tiffany on leg seven.
TAR16: Dana & Adrian (thanks to Dana's laziness) on leg one (a pathetic time to get that kind of elimination)
TAR23: Chester & Ephraim on leg three.
TAR29: Shamir & Sara on leg four.
. . . But you also forgot one more, at least:
TAR13: Toni & Dallas on leg ten.

You forgot one of the worst teams on TAR, TAR 27's Kelly & Shevonne who finishes a slider puzzle in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Phil eliminated them on the spot at Copacabana Beach in Rio, Leg 1. :funny:
-
I am rewatching the final 3 leg major puzzles and S16 was so easy, (and this is when they could still write details down and jordan and dan had the order in their journal)
They had to carry a box across town to a studio and then arrange the eliminated teams in order plus add in the non elimination legs. After that they got a clue with a riddle to the final finish line. "candelstick park"

Kinda familiar with the suitcase task. I've done something similar in the past. Solving and it was frustrating.
-
Looking a little like the Past Seasons discussion thread. lol
Anyway I assume that they are going to be leaving Monday afternoon or evening from Hong Kong. Which would mean that the earliest they would arrive at any American location would be Monday afternoon or evening as well?

well they probably went to sleep right after they finished the leg since it was late in hongkong. wont they wake up early in the AM to catch the flight to the final probably held tomorrow?
-
How soon after do the contestants return home? Are they held for a couple of days to do press?
-
Well, the HK leg finished around 1 or 2 am I think? I know Pit Stops aren't all 12 hours any more. But even if they were released in the morning, the earliest flights they could take would be around 12 pm which would mean the earliest they could arrive at any American location would be in the afternoon as well I guess. Direct flights of course. Sometimes they do make teams take specific flights to get them somewhere at specific times.

Peach will have flight information, no worries :hoot:
-
Remember that since TAR 27, teams weren't even released for the final leg, they're just transported straight to their flight by production.
-
Remember that in the past few seasons, teams weren't even released for the final leg, they're just transported straight to their flight by production.
Which seasons did that?
-
Really? That's odd. So the teams do their interviews and are taken directly to the airport? Even TAR25 and TAR26 had at least a couple hours downtime even at the airport.
-
Oh, I mean there's downtime, but there hasn't been an official Pit Start (i.e. release based on check-in time, clue-ripping). When it's time for the flight, production just bundles them all to the airport for their spoonfed flights (e.g. from Macau to Hong Kong Airport in TAR 27, from Shenzhen to Guangzhou Airport in TAR 28).
-
is the final leg for sure tomorrow or could they give them a day off and have it on Tues?
-
Oh. Yeah i was just wondering because depending on if they leave Hong Kong early then they might be able to squeeze in the final leg on Monday afternoon and finishing in the evening wherever they're going in the US it doesn't matter whether it's on the West Coast or east coast. Otherwise, thinking about at least the 12-hour Pit Stop as an example, they'll leave Hong Kong some time past 1 or 2 p.m. that'll get them into the United States sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning I guess.
-
Y'all sure are assuming a lot. :funny:
It’s jboy..what do you expect. It’s always an assumption Jody come in first every leg

to be fair they survived a uturn and outlasted a lot of good teams.. Wasn't a fan of bb19 in general but they are impressing me on the race.. Didn't think they had it in them to make it this far (espically Jessica).
All the 3 teams left deserve major props. This looks like one of the toughest overall casts ever.

Agreed. These teams, Jody particularly, have been impressive. Casting seems to have done a stellar job for TAR 30. I think production will make the final leg reaaal tough.
-
is the final leg for sure tomorrow or could they give them a day off and have it on Tues?
They had a long Pit Stop before the final leg last season (CMIIW), so a ~12 hour Pit Stop before the FINAL leg would be especially weird. I mean, they don't usually do such short Pit Stops anyway.
Also, final legs are usually day-time legs, so I would be really surprised to see them doing the finale tomorrow. Production needs to get in front as well.
I'm banking on Tuesday afternoon-evening.

why?
-
If they leave today won't they have a break on the plane anyways since its a 13 hour flight and stay at a hotel once they get there or do they start racing right at the airport.
-
Final leg? Nah, as soon as they hit the ground in the final city, it's game on.
-
They can sleep on the plane.... that should be well enough time to get rest for the most important leg on the show.

Rachel gave Jody tips before they left. And Cody has watched the race before so they should be mentally prepared for the last puzzle :conf:
This final may be the most competitive in a while. Each team has the guts and wits to win. It will be a battle to the finish line

Filming at the pit stop maybe stating soon or interviews?
-
why would they film at the pit stop again?
-
Start of the next leg, ripping open their first clue. Sometimes they start in the same place, sometimes they move them somewhere else.
It has been about 12 hours almost now.
-
Thanks. I didn't realize they started in the same place.
appears that Jody Crew were right again.

Where's the guy who missed them last night?? He needs to wake up

What a random spot for a pit stop I don't see anything special about it.

i rewatcehd s16 finale episode.
begining of the ep is phil giving detail about the area they just did leg 11 in (in this case hong kong) and then it shows teams departing frm the pitstop ripping open their next clue (likely to head to the airport for a plane ride to ____________)
time advantages carry over at the pitstop but it doesnt really matter since they all will meet up at the airport for 1 plane.
Then when the plane lands they begin the finale leg.
the twins on s16 were smart and asked to be moved to first class of the plane when the other 2 teams were sleeping so they got out first and a big lead. :funny:

When u ask to be moved to 1st class while airborne, & they agree to move you, you don't have to pay extra.

Just a little caution guys, we know nothing about these teams except a few snapshots we get of the legs as they progress.

I'm hoping for the best for all three of them, but let's not get ahead of ourselves before we actually see these episodes air haha!

Guys search for sighting at HK airport, skiers just departed for Leg 12

Given that we're going to San Francisco and that this season's gimmick in casting was teams who were together all the time or summat, why do I think we're getting a ~*Switchback*~ to the "how well do you know your partner" task?

Were they the first out?

Not yet known. Vic mentioned he saw Skiers only and the mat was removed after Skiers ripped off the clue
-
That's weird. Did the skiers come in last then??
-
That's weird. Did the skiers come in last then??
Maybe. Either that, or they just needed to remove the mat for a while before the next team sets off.
-
Since they are all going to be on the same flight, who was first and leaves earliest for the airport probably isn't going to make much difference. Except for the prize at the end of the last leg.

Lol Jody got 4th after getting u turned in Bahrain.. hardly back of pack.
-
Since the Pit Start mat was removed, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that the skiiers were 3rd.
No matter which of Jody or Debaters won the leg would be interesting; if Jody wins that's a plus for the fans, and if the Debaters won that's a new addition to the Brooke & Robbie/Jet & Cord club of teams getting NELed with Speed Bumps then winning the leg :lol:
Lol Jody got 4th after getting u turned in Bahrain.. hardly back of pack.
But wouldn't bottom 2 constitute back of the pack in an F5 scenario? =P

Woman who filmed them unlocking the briefcase said Jess a and Cody were first team she saw.. and skiers were seen arriving with Indy so I’d guess Jody won the leg. Debaters May have flown through and somehow got 2nd

I would not think that removing the pit start mat indicates anything. If they are doing the 'classical' start based on a fixed interval from the teams' arrival time at the pit stop, then they would know exactly when each team would be released to start the leg. They might move the mat to get it out of the way of people while waiting for the next team.
-
that seems like a lot of work. why not just leave the mat there???

It seems like a lot of work to roll up and unroll a mat? The answer is literally in the post: They might move the mat to get it out of the way of people while waiting for the next team. It's a street with heavy foot traffic during the day.
-
Since from the beginning the producer knows that there's a chance that Jody might be in the finale. I don't think the finale will be in downtown area like in TAR29, since it may attract fans to help them or haters to stumble them.
Therefore, I think that the finale will be in remote/secluded areas or somewhere that not many people can spot the teams like back in TAR20 or TAR24 finale took place in the night and they visited Las Vegas desert in the beginning. :)
-
The taxi ride from the pitstart to airport takes at least 40 minutes
They get in taxi not until 12:45, that enables them to reach the airport not earlier than 13:15, which is very late (1 hour ahead) for international departure

But they left it there the whole time for the pitstop??? I doubt they would keep rolling it.
Skiers were probably the last team to leave in my opinion......

They didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. I think they will be bunched anyway.

Why would they roll up the mat during a pit stop and risk teams missing it because they were unable to spot the mat? It's the most crucial part of the race. Today's filming on the mat is for continuity. I have no speculation of the order. I'm just not dismissing possibilities.

OMG! what if it down to 2 teams...this lady only saw 2 Jody and Skiers.

Jody and Skiers at mat
She said Jody filmed first...
Also Jess and one of the skiers are in flip flops so they’re in no hurry obviously
-
Based on the timing of when they were at the mat, and the casualness of Jess and one of the skiers... they’re in no hurry to catch a flight... only possible flights that make sense are:
Ny at 4:10, LA 435, Alaska 6:10,la 6:10, Boston 615, ny 645,
My guess would be LA at 435 🤷🏻♂️

It could be possible for production to instruct teams to report to the mat between a short designated time span and edit in positional order, if necessary, for the show.

Yeah, I don't see why they would need to film teams on the mat in order today. They can film however is most convenient and edit the footage in the right sequence.
-
Hope they still come through SF so I can get a chance to see them.

Since from the beginning the producer knows that there's a chance that Jody might be in the finale. I don't think the finale will be in downtown area like in TAR29, since it may attract fans to help them or haters to stumble them.
Therefore, I think that the finale will be in remote/secluded areas or somewhere that not many people can spot the teams like back or TAR24 finale took place in the night and they visited Las Vegas desert in the beginning? :)
Also, the Leg doesn't have to take place within city limits of course. They could travel to other cities in the area.
Would've been interesting to see what kind of adjustments would've been made if the Final Leg took place a few weeks ago when the tragic wildfires were at their worst.

I had typos in my first post :lol:
I'm still hoping for either Hawaii, SF, or Seattle finale. Please don't ruin this great route with another LA finale... :groan:
-
Maybe this would be better in the "TAR 30 Location wishlists and Unsupported speculation" thread, but if they do go to LA, your idea of secluded/remote locations outside of the city would fit very well. I'd love to see them visit the aircraft boneyard in Mojave. Would be a stunning Final Leg location, especially for a memory task of some sort.

All I hope is that production learned from last season's spoilers what not to do this time around. Particularly as there's a lot more fans tracking it this time around

Teams do wear The amazing race fanny pack yesterday in Hong Kong
-
They could be connecting?
I agree with this- I don’t think it needs to be direct if it’s prebooked (could also provide extra buffer for Phil, if he’s flying direct)
Prebooked tickets could also explain why some racers are in flip flops?
Interested to see where they go/when they get there
-
Where-ever is the final city, the teams that were eliminated 11th to 6th, are also being flown from the place where they were all sequestered, with them arriving closer to Phil's time.
As we don't have the ES feature anymore, they don't have camera people with them, but will still have producers with them, wonder if there might have been any sightings through that route.

I'm so happy that Jody won the leg yesterday wooot 1st.
If the May was picked up after the skiers opened their clue that means the order is jody debaters skiers

Guys Info is NOT the point. Right or Wrong.
The point is that from day one here The FIRST POST IN SPOILERS SAYS NO FUTURE INFO!!
How would you feel if a crazy loon targeted TAR? Because they knew days ahead where and when they would be?
It is highly dangerous and against our rules, so DO NOT DO IT AGAIN.
An hour maybe, days no.
And THAT is a MODERATOR call.
I have no control over others, if they want to be irresponsible I cannot help it. But here you do it again, and that's it.
PLEASE READ POST #1 CLOSELY IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.
It is potentially DANGEROUS to tell today's world where teams will be ahead of time..
It is NOT allowed here at RFF and I hope other thoughtful posters will consider that as well.
You can trust that RFF has things well in hand, and you will be welcome to join us at the right time for more fun.
RULES:
No location info to be revealed before teams are on the way. (I'll let you know when!)
NO spoiling of the Final 3 Finish order.
Respect each other, love the game, and have a super fun time!
-

So we do not have sightings at the Hong Kong airport? That means we have no idea where are they connecting to sf (assuming that is the final destination), right?

LOL because the debaters were seen at the bar task with the Indy guys way after the fact Jody already finished that. Smh they won first be happy for them. Plus the girl who took the pic of them at the pit stop today said they were first to rip open their clue

How long does a final leg last on average ? I know its much elaborate than any of the previous legs.

Hm, this sounds similar to the logic the Jody fans used when they insisted that Lifeguards and Skiers were the last two teams to reach the Harare pit stop, which proved to be untrue.
They were the first to rip open their clue but neither teams spotted on the mat were in a rush, right? They may not even have been on the mat in order. Teams will likely be starting evenly on the flight out.

can both sides just stop fighting its finale already both teams made it anyway :lol: =P

from what I've read the vacation prizes are basically worthless because it costs more in taxes than what you could pay for the trip out of pocket booking yourself ... I wonder/hope they can exchange for cash equivalent

I am hoping they also couldn't finish the leg and there is only 2 teams in the final!

That would be awful. I like seeing 3 teams battle for the finish. More excitment, better show.
-
right.. You get a penalty for not finishing ( i think it's like 4 hours) so if both teams couldn't finish the task than the first one to get the pitstop would move on..
No way would 2 teams ever be eliminated

Interestingly for all the insults you appear to be wrong. The tweeter says:
only saw Jody, then Skiers, then MAT removed. That clearly means Debaters were in first.
But the flight is an equalizer...so DOES NOT MATTER!

I don't think we have ever seen the teams traveling from the sequester site to the final city. Without camera crews, they just don't stand out much. Still, it can happen so it's worth going back and looking for the eliminated teams.

Fanny packs spotted on the ground in Portland, ME.
Would they have had enough time to fly from Hong Kong to Maine?
Actually Portland Jetport (the airport in Portland, ME) does not have direct flights from West Coast.

Its depends how much info we might get from live sightings. We never revealed the final placements for TAR29 as it was being filmed (not even during as the season finally aired months later), but there was a lot of information that a careful reader could take some educated conclusions. On that matter, the amount of information we got from TAR29 finale was also unusually more than we got from some of the previous seasons. As a comparison, during TAR28 finale, I believe we lost the teams shortly before the final challenge.
-
TAR29 finale was easy. All urban, and they spent the last 1/3 of it around Wrigley Field, which has webcams pointed at it.
TAR28 finale's latter half was out in the rural southern California valleys.
-
Have they come to the filming of the last leg already? The weeks sure have gone fast.

welcome! That's right. If possible we protect the final 3 finish order. Guess it is really up to filming.
-
Asking everyone to remember...as stated in multiple places:
THERE IS TO BE NO DISCUSSION OF FINAL CITY UNTIL FIRST SIGHTINGS.
NONE.
THIS IS A NON NEGOTIABLE RFF RULE. SO break it at your own risk.
No city named, no flight arrivals, nothing to announce to the world where they are UNTIL they are seen on the ground and racing.
At that point like all legs we trust in WRP's security.
So PLEASE STOP IT. I edited some posts but will be deleting posts as well. This IS a BANNABLE OFFENSE.
-
But the flight is an equalizer...so DOES NOT MATTER!
We hope it's an equalizer; I'd be disappointed if the finale was linear.
-
Do you have to carry there bag on the final leg or just there fanny pack with there passports and clues?
-

You don't have to have your bag with you. You just have to have the necessary items for travel and racing with you. Let's see if any of the Final 3 teams ditch their baggage.

Is there a difference between publicly announcing when and where the starting line will take place?
Is there a difference between talking about the 11 teams flying to Iceland before they have landed?
I’m just reading your message and seriously wondering. I’m not meaning to be rude.
If the reason why it’s different is because it is the final leg and we don’t want to know the exact placement of the final 3 teams (aka don’t want fans documenting the final leg and spoiling it) . Can’t we just post that instead and say we want everyone to tune in and watch the show because it’s about to be cancelled if there aren’t enough viewers.
-

I'm sure someone can give a more definitive answer, but allow me to put in my two cents.
1) This season's starting line was publicly announced by CBS, so there was no question about anybody spoiling the start. RFF has, in fact, discovered some of the previous starting lines (through some excellent detective work) but does not publicly disclose this information until the racers have started racing (or, in at least one case, slightly before, when the racers are at the starting line).
2) This information was also disclosed through multiple sources this season, mostly because of the public start. Many people had a chance to learn the first destination from the racers themselves. I believe RFF mostly wants to protect the finish line and the final US destination, but again usually only discloses destinations when the racers are safely on their way.

Ok cause that’s my question.. if they are afraid of some cuckoo crazy going to the finish line city , wouldn’t they be even more afraid to publicly announce where the starting line is being held and give plenty of advanced notice.
Or our members that live in cities that host legs of the race that know they are going to be there and head to the locations to take pictures. How is it any different?
Sorry I was just wondering what makes the final destination so special and secret when just the other day there were a bunch of people in Hong Kong waiting at the airport

The starting line was revealed by CBS and they encouraged people to go. The security was set up by them.
All legs are protected. If you read the live sightings post 1- it states that. This board does not allow posting of any future locations until the teams are there. People find about about future locations, but you won't find it posted here until the team are on the ground and running.
-
We don't control others, just us. And maybe our safety concerns are archaic given open starts etc. But until/unless I hear differently, that's the way it goes!
But stay tuned, hoping to have a lovely time ahead!
-
But the flight is an equalizer...so DOES NOT MATTER!
We hope it's an equalizer; I'd be disappointed if the finale was linear.
It's been ages, since the last time we had final 3 / 4 teams split apart by them booking different flights for the final city, I guess that's a possibility production has worked really hard to avoid. They do prefer to have entire cast at the finish line.
-
What I meant by "linear" was a poorly-designed leg where the finishing order duplicates the exit order at the final airport; in other words, the first team to get off the plane wins the race. A leg that's constructed well allows back-and-forth movement among the teams.
-

Yeah, any task that involves teams to get in a line for something shouldn't be on a Final Leg, imo. A Leg of course can be linear and poorly designed without such a task. But first come, first served tasks certainly don't help.
-
Shouldn't there be sightings by now?
-
I think it might be helpful if Peach or some other mod would post whether RFF has information that it is withholding or not. Then we would have some idea what to expect to see posted.
-
I don't think we can know what to expect until the leg is done. It's a rapidly changing situation and we don't know how public the filming is going to be. Sometimes (like TAR 29) social media is crazy with sightings, other times they go to private locations and we don't find out much.
-
seems weird that they weren't spotted at an airport
-
Like, should we be expecting to see sightings today or tomorrow? Or is that also dangerous to say.
-
Maybe they were just filming their clues and then going back to sequester? The skiers hung out for a little bit and then Jessica was wearing flip-flops. I could be wrong.
-
^That's a good point. Especially with no sightings at the airport. Maybe they haven't even left Hong Kong yet. :D

I don't know that that happened. I have yet to see confirmation of it.

Guys search for sighting at HK airport, skiers just departed for Leg 12
Were they the first out?
Not yet known. Vic mentioned he saw Skiers only and the mat was removed after Skiers ripped off the clue
Vicdemort may be able to tell us whether he saw them rip the clue.
-

Well, it's not like it has any effect on the competition and Race itself if they "faked" it. Just something they need to do for the episode itself to get it out of the way, especially if they have the whole day in HK before leaving.
-
Jessica had her flip-flops on, we didn't see one team, and the skiers hung around. For all we know, they were filming interviews and would be released later. And what better way for TPTB to throw a few foilers out there? Don't forget, they know we're watching. :funny:
-
Patience is a virtue :angel
-
The only night finale they've ever done was Vegas in season 24, pretty sure.
But as Hong Kong was just a night leg, they probably won't do 2 in a row.
-
Of course, the TAR21 finale went into the evening because of the Road Block. hehe
And the Finish Line was indoors too.

One of the skiers also had on flipflops. I thought the skiers had to wait a few minutes longer before they could leave after #Jody, sometimes they do that right?

Unless I'm mistaken, usually they rip their clue envelopes at the time specified for the start of their leg. There's some speculation that the start of this leg was staged around 12-12:30 Hong Kong time. If so we don't know what the true intervals might be.
-
I've read bits and pieces of the raw threads (very little help for me) and the summaries, and looking at it with fresh eyes since I hadn't been involved this season, I would say no airport in the US is safe from being the final destination city airport at this point. TPTB could even do a fake out and have teams fly to the final city via Beijing from Hong Kong and that would open up even more direct flights. Anything is possible.
Only thing I'll suggest is that on paper, areas with recent natural events such as hurricanes and fires are probably less likely, but who knows? I certainly don't.
-
Phil tweeted a picture of himself with a camel...there is a camel safari in Vegas. It's at camelsafari.com
-
The Camel Safari is not in Vegas, it is in Mesquite which is a super dumpy city outside of Vegas and also was home to Stephen Paddock which I doubt they would want to showcase where that psycho lived.
-
With regards to the Pit Start of teams hanging out - I would like to bring up the possibility that it's likely just for formalities. We actually haven't seen all three teams depart the Pit Start on the Finale (with all departure times) on the show since TAR26.

It's certainly possible that TAR may have originally planned a Finish Line in one location and changed it last minute. I have no idea if he Jody fans detective skills are recent or not, but things could have changed since.
Should we be expecting to see sightings today or tomorrow? Or is that also dangerous to say here on RFF?

The photo booth is usually not there, it was set up for the task. The monitor is a computer screen. The photographer transferred the digital photo to the computer for editing/printing.

Hey Vic, did you somehow manage to see what kind of photo they should take? Was it like the one attached on the booth?

I'm just thinking if it's a selfie or if there's a designated photographer that they should search or they should ask locals to take their photo. :)

Most likely to see the photo they just took of themselves at the overlook. Maybe they can choose which one they like and had to print one out.
Was wondering same thing when the one pic shows Indy and Jody together staring at the monitor like they are trying to figure something out. It’s a pic in sightings but I don’t know how to copy it here
Indy have taken their photos (as they were first to arrive) and they were editing/printing their photo when Jody arrived. Jody were just peeking over Indy's photo lol.
Hey Vic, did you somehow manage to see what kind of photo they should take? Was it like the one attached on the booth?
(https://i.imgur.com/NNt5utO.png)
I'm just thinking if it's a selfie or if there's a designated photographer that they should search or they should ask locals to take their photo. :)
Yes, it is just a usual photo of the Victoria Harbour. The designated photographer did all the job. Teams just need to pose and get their photos/clues.

I have uploaded all of his videos in my Google drive
Check the live sighting thread

Nevermind, they landed in SFO a little over an hour ago. Photos in live sighting thread.
Final destination (reportedly) is everywhere, if you want to find it, try twitter.
Just so you don't have to google it?
On May 4, 1965, San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays hits his 512th career home run to break Mel Ott's National League record for home runs. Mays would finish his career with 660 home runs, good for third on the all-time list at the time of his retirement. :dick :D
-
I would be really surprised if it was a night finale
Now here's hoping it's better than the last night finale (24) :funny:
Was S24's finale bad, because the best team in the world Dave and Connor won? :funny:

No. Because it's an absolute joke of a leg.
Digging in the middle of nowhere.
Lightbulbs that failed to allow ANY placement changes.
A magic task that failed to allow ANY placement changes.
A "final task" which decided the winners by first-come first-served to the final clue.
Literally anyone could make a better finale than that.
That said, this is off-topic so sorry for derailing the thread.

A couple of things.
The clue is to figure out how many home runs Willie Mays hit in his career (660) and those are the numbers they need on the baseballs they'll collect. They ask that guy to Google it while they're standing in front of the huge Willie Mays statue with plaques that probably tell them that info. (I dunno, I never read it, but most likely)
Then the Additional Info tells them to go to Pier 40 for the kayaks probably, but the guy filming tells them Pier 40 is 2 miles away. OMGNO. :groan: He's probably thinking about Pier 39. Pier 40 is right behind AT&T. What if he just sent the ladies all the way down the Embarcadero for nothing.

Yup, that could end their game, and he told them to run instead of wait for a cab too.

He probably thought 40 was close to 39. It's an easy mistake to make, everyone knows where Pier 39 is, the other piers? Not so much.

There was something mischevious about the way he was talking to the person recoding at the end, but I wasn't sure if he was just clueless or intentionally feeding Skiers wrong info.

Okay. Asking again.
Whose teams were those at the kayaks?!

Maybe. I lived their 13 years, and never went to Pier 40. I would have thought it was by 39 as well.

Oh god ski girls appear to be flopping.. Hopefully they can get back in it.

Skiers must have checked the clue and realized the mistake or they asked someone else.

Pier 40 is one of the docks for anyone to launch from when they want to hang out in McCovey Cove during games.
I wonder if TAR didn't intentionally point that out hoping someone makes the mistake of heading to Pier 39.

I lived in the SF area for years, but it's been a while. I think the odd numbered piers are on the ocean side of the Ferry building and the even numbers on the bay side.

yes although I don't like that they did a baking (fortune cookie) challenge in the final.. That is boring.. I wanted them to climb up and jump off stuff..

Wouldn't be surprised if the final mat is close to TAR 2's with the Golden Gate Bridge, but at night.

Or running up the "crookedest street in the world" via sidewalks. SO many options in SF.

I've been there. Very impressive! Don't think I'm allowed to say where it is yet.
-

I was thinking that, too. Sausalito, site of the closest finish they ever had!
Also, the place Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe got married. SF City Hall.
-
My boyfriend lost his clutch (saved it barely) as we were stuck in traffic driving up that hill in order to drive down the crooked street, before I lived there. Worst hour of MY LIFE, well not really, but it was scary as hell, bumper to bumper.
San Francisco City Hall
is the next location

Right now though, the more picturesque Finish Line though would be somewhere the Bay Lights on the Bay Bridge are visible in the background:

That's a lot of lights up, if that isn't the finale.

City Hall (and the airport actually) are regularly lit up in different colors for different things. (Local sports teams, causes, flag colors) It's easy to swap out filters for the lights. I tagged along once at SFO.
-
Must be close if they have to run there....lots of ground around it, Phil standing at mat still with a view of City Hall in the background. I can almot picture it.
-
These tasks don't seem finale worthy imo, all they did was kayaks get balls, then get driven to China town on boat do fortune cookie task then go to city hall??? There better be more
-
If there was anyplace that got the marriage equality movement its legs towards legal victory its IS San Francisco City Hall, btw, when Gavin Newsom was mayor in 2008 and issued all those marriage licenses, during a gap period which was later validated by the courts.
Of course this season will air in 2018, which is ten years later! (And 14 years and 26 seasons after two gay men won the Race under the tagline "married.")

Could the fortune cookies be a memory task? ???

I speculated to someone lately that a cool task would have been to copy what the Bachelor did a few seasons on the Bay Bridge and have racers walk up the suspension cable from the roadway to the top of a tower. Probably too dangerous at night and really no way for teams to pass each other. Unless they climbed different towers. I didn't think of that before.
-

Could be indoors. Plenty of theaters around the area, like TAR21's night finale.
Kinda funny having teams run around the area. Maybe even into the Tenderloin. At midnight?! :D lol
-
The tasks for this finale have been so tame...
-
Well, I doubt they are headed south of Mission, so Coit Tower, Lombard's crooked street, the Pyramid building?

Yeah there are 3 or 4 theaters with stages that could be used for memory challenges. Take a wrong turn in the Tenderloin and we could have a switchback to Charla and Mirna and the Polish Streetwalker. "Don't bother her, she's working." :funny:

...
I mean, there's plenty of places to run to in the Civic Center area. But it can't be that far at this time of night. Plus, it's not like they could easily find a taxi to another location, if there is one after either. Very strange.
-
The UN Plaza?
-
The UN Plaza?
...and you would still see City Hall in the background.

I hope fortune cookie is not lucky task and there is at least a RB and a memory challange (a combination of the two is greater).
-
The UN Plaza?
That would be interestingly too close I would think to run to. Though it certainly would be hidden from view of the cluebox at City Hall, depending on where in the plaza it was at.
-
Even thought the Palace of Fine Arts is further, there are less hills, and man, that would be a fantastic place for the finish.
Anyone think there is one more (memory) task, or just a foot race to the end now? (https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/uCAHyydYlO7kwU94KW-sW_sdQDo=/56x0:967x683/920x613/filters:focal(56x0:967x683):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/48182229/jyhrtegrfsdvbfght.0.jpeg)

ALL TAKING TAXIS to FINAL LOCATION!
Oh, so NOT on foot to "FINAL LOCATION" which equals or does not equal the Finish Line?
Taxis though eh? In San Francisco? Hmm... I wonder if the show had some ready for them.

I'm confused, I thought they were running to it? Now in other thread it says they taking taxis?

They ran to a final cluebox, I suspect, and are taking taxis to the final mat.....just like in TAR 2.

Did ANYONE notice in all those photos we've had who was still carrying a backpack?

It was somewhere that came up in speculation. I agree it would be a great backdrop. It's the only building left from the 1915 World's Fair. I don't think it would work well at night. There's too much to be lit up. You would have to take a taxi to get there. Too far from City Hall.

A long footrace would have been way better and allowed lead changes u would think these producers would want some instead of a predictable lead

I lived near there in the Marina. It always USED to be lit up at night (and gorgeous.) Isn't it now?
-
Pretty difficult for a good footrace in the middle of the night in San Francisco though.
Depending on where the Finish Line is, if the taxis get there around the same time, and there's open space between drop off and Finish Line, maybe then.

As to a footrace to the finish mat -- that is exactly what happened in TAR 2 when Alex and Chris ran down the lead team to reach the mat first by mere seconds, and the third place team was in sight of the finish mat as well.
It would be ironic if this season has a similar finish after seasons of not getting a real close finish like that which took place in TAR 2.

Golden Gate Park?
I made that suggestion two hours ago. But it would be whatever city parks are on the city side of the bridge. There are two parks, one on each side of the highway.....and TAR 2 used the lesser known and harder to reach park.

They should have made the final Matt at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge and had them climb all the way to the top to win

FYI: Golden Gate Park is not at Golden Gate Bridge.

Don’t know about the final task, but at the final location and they were doing something before running to the mat

Season 9 was decided with country flags :D

Don’t know about the final task, but at the final location and they were doing something before running to the mat

Can you tell us more?

It's about the race, and they've done it before, flags, greeters, etc. It's usually cool.
I still say The Palace of Fine Arts. Ha! I'm being stubborn, it would be such a cool location.

It's been done several times...TAR 9 was the first IIRC. And it did make a difference that time.

Jody fans are so toxic on Twitter.

I dunno.. I just expected more climbing, running, heights type stuff for the final of the amazing race..
I feel like that is way more exciting than making fortune cookies and flag puzzles.

Well, night leg in San Francisco certainly limits what kinds of tasks can be done. Daytime Leg? Plenty of stuff.

Many of the countries visited had obscure flags. Give them about 50 flags to choose from and it won't be that easy. Especially if you weren't paying attention to things I like that.

Sorry guys, security stopped us from getting close
Really bad angle, couldn’t see much of anything beyond the fact they’re doing a task; and we saw the light of a camera in transit to another area of the final location

If you've been paying attention, Peach is on the scene right now and kinda busy. Too busy to be deleting made up sightings. Yes, there may be real sightings that won't get in right away, but the RFF ground team seem to have things well covered.

I am just going to assume it is over and they placed in the order they got to that final clue box as it makes the most logical sense to me..

Sorry guys. Apparently someone sent a troll...jealous much?
Spoilers will resume shortly.

That newbie is a troll and don't trust with the fake spoilers. I do mean what is the actual finish line would be taking place.

Thank you from this little cog in the machine. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun when you find something. The real hero is Peach. She barely sleeps while the race is on and she finds out so many things that I can't begin to figure out how it was done.
Between all the work the Jody fans have done and all we have done, it's been a well spoiled season. It's not over though. There's no doubt more info that will be trickling out over time.

Thanks so much Peach, for spending all of your avaible hours, searching the web to find spoilers for us to enjoy!
Thanks for the work you do as well Dectectives! :conf:

Yes, big thanks to Peach and all the posters here that are so reliable.
I'm glad I'm back to TAR. I think I'll watch the seasons I've missed over the next few weeks.
GREAT WORK, and thank you Peach!

I still wanna know that location though! Ha!

do we know how long it takes after the race ends for the racers to get back on social media?

Probably not long. I don't think they are restricted any longer once they wrap up tonight's filming. Sleeping and a good meal may be a priority right now though. Don't expect a lot of juicy details until after each episode airs.

This late night west coast final leg is pushing me to bed as well. Edele is impatient about my not coming to bed (as this little one has decided to pin me down at night by using my leg as her pillow) so I will have to wait to see how this played out here.
And yes, I will explain who Edele is in the appropriate place when I have some time and energy for. For now, just know she is a five month old mini schnauzer female puppy with more energy than the energizer bunny.

Especially after the men outnumbered them thirteen to nine at the outset. Like I said, that's a nice dose of karma to CBS and its casting department.

Is it safe now to post the Finish Line location since they're probably packed up now and either in bed or celebrating with a hotel party in the City?

Is this the latest finish ever on TAR or TAR24 beat this? I mean, it's around 2AM right in SF but the race was still on going. CMIIW

Guys! I just read a theory by tweeter @johneesa on why 2 teams didn't pay their cabbies as per our RFF team's sighting. I'm attaching the screenshot. Hope some expert clarifies it, if thats a possibility!
Losing a cab driver must be scary in the finale..
-
So skiers were 1st who opened "go to the finish line" clue, correct?
-
Back to Hong Kong for a bit...
If this was already posted, please delete but I don't remember seeing it.
On Instagram maxprice3 posted a video in Hong Kong giving wrong directions to the skiers.
Jen/Kristi were looking for D'Aguilar St in Lan Kwai Fong (nightlife area), while standing on D'Aguilar St!
And yep that guy pointed them the wrong way. (The skiers walked right past the location 10 paces back!)

Don't see how you can deduce which teams were in the lead based on (not) paying their taxis.
Yes, it happens VERY often that taxis are instructed to wait for teams, and are therefore not payed in advance, but teams must go back and pay them before finishing the leg.

Well, the fans on Twitter did say to only help Jody in Hong Kong. That guy might have been one of the people who got the message. I really hope this didn't happen extensively over the course of the race, locals intentionally sabotaging the other teams.

Please don't put this on "Jody fans" I'm one and "integrity & honor" would be more fitting for a marine and his lady. Stop pointing fingers and take it for what it was--(look at this guys instagram site) He was a jerk. :groan:
-
Well, some fans were actively rooting for sabotage last night during the finale. Really annoying. Hopefully Cody and Jessica would tell any fans off if they ever heard about their fans trying to do that.
-
Yeah, maybe it was one incident. It was late at night, when the more troublesome people come out, as they say.
-
My heart goes out for Skiers. Those are some tough strong willed women to crack. Even after that, they manage to survive the leg and reach Finals. Who knows ? They were leading when we last heard. May just have won the race. Girl Power!!!
-
Sadly I think some people on reddit were talking about sabotaging earlier, but I really hope this wasn't the case and that the guy who sent the skiiers the wrong way was genuinely trying to help :/

Indeed they might have just won the race even after those really really bad directions last night as well. The bad directions put them in last place at the task at AT&T but seem to be leading towards the end of the leg anyway.

He wasn't. His hashtags included #wrongway #noidea #****bloke
He says he couldn't resist bull****ting them. Just seems like a jerk to be a jerk.
-
Great to see a F/F team in the final again. Doesn't happen enough in the US, took 10 seasons to get the first one :)
-
all of these f3 teams were deserving , even if i wanted jody to win, the skiers and debaters worked their tails off too. This may be the most competitive final have seen tbh. usually there is a flop team who stays behind the pack.
-
So what about the final location and tasks? Are they forbidden here?
-

I think both RFF and the leading twitter spoiler accounts have closed some "pact" as to not spoil the final placements. I think I even saw Peach post that spoiling it is bannable?

Placements are forbidden. But Finish Line locations and tasks are not. They will be posted whenever those in the know feel like it.

Has a team, which was trailing 3rd for 2/3rd of the final leg of the amazing race, won at the end ?
-
Okay...just a quick recap.
The final three teams got their clue at City Hall and headed off in taxis.
The location was NOT close. It was also NOT possible to SEE into the location...!
Not close to Civic Center? Jumpsuits? Maybe
- The Presidio
- Yerba Buena/Treasure Island?

Season 14, I believe is one? The team had a healthy lead most of the leg, then the one doing the Roadblock got frustrated and mentally shut down on the memory task, they ultimately fell to 3rd.

My memory is fuzzy but I do think they won yes. As OP described they only got into first place at the final task. I think the same happened in tar 21 but I'm not sure again!

Well, taking a taxi to Alcatraz might be difficult as its an island :)
And Ive been to Alcatraz and would die if you made me go at night!

Obviously.
There are plenty of warehouses and abandoned buildings on Treasure Island. if jumpsuits, maybe something stunt-y like TAR25

^^^ Yes. Check out Peach's entries on page 15 & 16 in the Sightings thread.

Yes, was confirmed Skiers got city hall clue first
After that ???
Peach will reveal what she feels is safe/appropriate to, and in the proper time
Remember, patience is a virtue :angel ;)

Jess and Cody probably took taxi or BART (rapid transit/train) to Oakland for better flight to LA. I don't think the final task was in Oakland (but I suppose it could have been).

Oakland to Burbank is Jessica flying home as Jess herself sent out that tweet (earlier she sent "We missed you - J + C" ). The penultimate location seems to have been the city hall in San Francisco so I suppose the final location / finish line isn't anywhere near Burbank :P
-
Well, they flew out of Oakland.
They started this leg in SF at a sports stadium, the hints we were given was that the location "wasn't close."
Maybe they ended it in the Oakland stadium? That would be EASY to close off from fans/TAR hunters as well.

Oakland's just a short drive across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco. I think she flew out of Oakland airport for flight convenience or a cheaper rate than that of SFO.

Depends on traffic, but yes, it's a ways away. 17 miles but across the bay, google maps says 34 minutes.

Guys. We finishing spoiling less than 9 hours ago. For 5 of that I slept, 3 had real life things to do. I am now wading thru all the incoming info and pics and vids from multiple sources to see what exactly we do and don't have. Then the team will share in any info as always.
No decisions have been made about anything except not spoiling the final 3 finish order as we usually do not. IF we have it, which I don't think we do.
Oval, please make some message room so we can talk. Thanks!

The account is restricted because enough users reported it for violating Twitter's terms. It's a newly created account posting "spoilers." I don't know how much more obvious of a troll account it can be.

17 miles from San Francisco City Hall: Muir Beach (Marin County), Tiburon/Belvedere (Marin County)...Tiburon would be awesome...night time view of the SF skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge lit at night? But then again, there is the fog element.
Haha Hmmm...Pacifica State Beach?

First time following the race live on this forum. Started due to wanting to get updates on Cody/Jess since it was also my first time watching live feeds on BB19 and became a fan of theirs from that, and now really loved following here for TAR updates on all of the teams. Can’t wait to watch the show to see all of the tasks the teams did that we saw just little bits of info on and the ones we don’t know. And see what happened with each team to get eliminated. Thanks everyone for all of the updates and anylizing. Will definitely follow here again in the future :)

This is worded in a very confusing way. To clarify, a reporter who works for The Hollywood Reporter tweeted that Jody were going to be on TAR before there was press release/confirmed to the public. He later deleted that tweet. Today, that same reporter tweeted something cryptic along the lines of "I guess I should say that I know something you don't know" with the hashtags #TAR30 #BB19. I wouldn't necessarily assume that that implies he knows Jody won.

He is the interviewer.. He would know if they won or lost.. Not saying that is what he is referring to but He would know.
There are very few things he could have been talking about, the only other thing I could think of is engagement.
-
Or he just wants more Twitter followers and doesn't know a single thing.

A lot of people knew Jody were going on TAR. Even some of the BB19 cast knew ahead of time. I think there's a distinction between knowing who the cast is and knowing who the winner is.

He could also be referring to knowing who was called for 31 because I remember reading something preshow about it being potentially returnees before this season started :sab
i wouldnt be surprised if 31 was allstars and they were asked back like brenchels was.
-
31?! :funny:
*insert Jim Mora "Playoffs?!?!" rant*
-
:didimiss: BTW he doesn't work for CBS. He's employed by The Hollywood Reporter and covers other shows, networks, and media.

I lowkey hope the taxi error was as good as charla and mirna's flipout. "take our money!!" :funny:

Surely reporters aren't told the outcome of the show? Especially when it just ended yesterday.
I bet he's just trying to get attention.
I'm sure certain reporters are told at some point, but the finale ended not 24 hours ago.
Exactly. It seems nutso for anyone to know anything yet.

it ended in california.. The guy lives in cali, Jody lives in Cali. Not saying he knows they won but he knows something. It could be an engagement.
TO say he is just trying to troll by quickly tweeting out something exciting and deleting it is just not a good theory..
Trolls do that, not established reporters.

if you belive that is hilarious. he is covering his tail backtracking. doesnt wnt to get in trouble which i dont blame him.

That's hilarious? I'm still waiting on the proof of your claim that Jody won an Express Pass. That was you, right?

Brian and the hollywood reporter was the one big newsite that had the interview with Jody before starting amazing race..
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/amazing-race-big-brothers-jessica-graf-cody-nickson-joining-1043557
This was like the only interview that was done.. TO act like it couldn't be possible he would know anything is just dumb.
-
Does an Express pass even matter anymore :funny:
Also Brian is backtracking hard now.

What's the significance of where the finale took place, where Jody lives (just Jessica btw), and where the reporter lives? He works in entertainment, so of course he lives in Los Angeles. My point is to exercise caution -- not everything is a hint of who won TAR, particularly not everything is a hint that Jody won TAR.
-
Does an Express pass even matter anymore :funny:
No, the race is over so obviously not. The point is that user has a record of posting claims in favor of Jody with little to no substantiation since the start of the race.
-
Also Brian is backtracking hard now.
How are you characterizing that he's backtracking "hard" now? He simply posted one reply claiming that was a joke.
-
Well, they flew out of Oakland.
They started this leg in SF at a sports stadium, the hints we were given was that the location "wasn't close."
Maybe they ended it in the Oakland stadium? That would be EASY to close off from fans/TAR hunters as well.
Oakland's just a short drive across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco. I think she flew out of Oakland airport for flight convenience or a cheaper rate than that of SFO.
Why can't we know the location? I don't get it.
Let's just say that confidential sources are being protected, and leave it at that, OK?
Peach will say something when the possibility of exposing any sources are non-existence. Those are valuable to have, and shouldn't be tossed. (And no, I don't know where or what those are, but I am speaking generally since we've been through this now about 30 times.)

She thanked the people who followed the teams around last night by name. And revealed every single location and task except simply the location of the finish line.
-
Hi new poster here. Just a thought... people have said that the last 3 teams at the airport was an equalizer. Maybe not. If a team arrives at an airport early enough they can go to the currency exchange to turn their left over money into US dollars. I never have done this and don't know how long it takes, but it would certainly give a team extra cash for the taxis.
-
Welcome to RFF, Beki! :waves:
All teams can exchange their money before the flight, though. There was plenty of time I think.
What we mean by saying 'equalizer' is that all teams reach the finale city and start racing at the same time.
-
I understand they are all equal when they land, but if a team didn't have time to exchange their money it would put them at a disadvantage if extra money was needed.
-

If this is about not paying the taxi drivers, the two teams involved probably forgot to pay. It's common to ask the cabbie to wait. They probably thought it would be needed to go from the Final Memory Challenge to the finish line.

There may be others who provided tips and who were deliberately not mentioned or acknowledged and these could have been beforehand. This is nothing new for TAR. There have been seasons where the final mat location was not spoiled here because no one actually saw and posted about it on social media; which is increasingly likely the case this time.
-
also since peach unbanned me..(guess she didn't want me posting spoilers last night?.. how sad)
I'll respect her wishes and not expose 2 much but to correct a few things
1. skiers were ahead at city hall by like 5 min ahead of jody/debaters who showed up at same time, but jody left before debaters
2. missing a solid hour and a half of competition.
-
I was literally there
Debaters got to city hall before Jody
-

Peach said that.

Like DavidJunior, I was there and this is completely false. The order of teams is wrong and the times are wrong.

then can you share the accurate times??
is it at least true that there was another hour of competition???

Being new to this forum, I just find it so comical that all these people have been chasing the teams around the world to spoil every single leg of the race. We get to the end and radio silent. Not just for the actual running to the mat but the task spoilers for this last leg. People who were supposedly "there" will not clarify what they saw even though there is enough of yesterday to talk about that wouldn't even give away the winner if that is the sole purpose. I'm sorry if this offends anyone but I just find it obtuse. Others have posted on Twitter and such who won and they claim they were there also yet this forum is supposed to be the place to discuss and "spoil" everything we know and now, the last leg and we are not allowed to during or after? RFF supposedly has members and "ground crew" that were physically there and now won't share what they know? It's just simply comical to me. "Hey guys out there in the world give us all your pics, tell us who you saw, where, when, what order, omg thanks, we will post it with great big credits in photo". "BTW, cast and crew if you want to drop me a DM and give me all your secrets that's cool too and I promise I won't give up my source but I will spoil it for America" lol. RFF wants everyone to contribute to their forum but when those helping and contributing want something in return, it's a great big NO. Our rules, our way or the highway. Yeah, yeah I know I won't be popular after this post but come on isn't this a little silly? Yes, I know Peach will let you know what Peach wants you to know because hey it's "Peach" or the flippin Wizard of Oz idk. I got it and that's perfectly fine but Peach wouldn't have all the RFF spoilers if it weren't for the general public that helped along the way. I know who won and I also know what order they won in. I had live info to share yesterday yet we weren't allowed to share it. Was ridiculous to me that I had been following all this time only to be told I am not allowed to post anything because now all the control belonged to a single person and their sources only. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted but fair is fair. Peace out people.

you should make a Twitter. they can't stop you from sharing there. :conf:
-
Sure, you had someone who was updating you from a restricted area with only one access point that was guarded by security :res:
It would either have to be someone on production with really loose lips and 0% fear of being fired/fined or some crazy super secret ninja to be able to find a spot that they could go unnoticed there
Either that or your claims are BS
But, what do I know? I was just one of those dummies that was “there”
-
Don't really look into this but it seems like Indy, Jody and Skiers are all good with each other and follow each other on Instagram.
-

does that mean all 3 teams empathize with each other that none won the amazing race! Just kidding. It can mean anything and nothing. Maybe they were companions all throughout. Who knows ? We'll only get to know about all this when the season airs.
-
it means they can put the competition behind them now that the race is over and be friends, whether they were friends during the race or not.
-

Yup, I expect more of the teams to follow each other. They've had access to social media for less than 24 hours.
-

That's something that happens most of the time with the teams once season is over. For instance if you look into the IG of the racers from last season you'll see that each of them is following various members of the cast.
-

Three of the F4, right? Could've been friends as well as allies during the race. Maybe made plans to go to the F3 together but for the Roadblock that took Alex & Connor down.
-
Has a team, which was trailing 3rd for 2/3rd of the final leg of the amazing race, won at the end ?
Yes, TAR21, if I'm not mistaken. All due to the final memory challenge.
A well designed memory challenge can actually shift placements around, before the finish line.
-
re: social media following-
I don't think this is as much of an indicator as is it with Survivor since there's less "direct" targeting of people and less time spent together on TAR. I'd keep an eye if teams don't follow each other once the season starts airing since THAT is usually a sign of something happening between teams.
-
Sorry, but I'm calling bull**** on not sharing the final location because "it might jeopardize a source!"
They were in San Francisco, downtown San Francisco. They got into cabs, as people do every single day and night in San Francisco, because cabs are everywhere downtown and really, through much of the city. The racers probably had special cabs that had already signed non disclosure stuff and releases. However ANY of the people watching them in Chinatown, City Hall, etc, could have easily jumped into a cab with the instructions "Follow that cab!" and know where the racers went for the finale.
ANYONE.
In addition, apparently 5-10 "special" posters know, not only the location, but also who didn't pay their cab. The rest of us? Tough on you guys! We know something you don't know! Hee Hee.
So, no, not buying it, and frankly it feels pretty junior high clique.
No one is asking you about who won, which apparently you couldn't see, so enclosed location of some sort with easily secured entrances, which is why I guessed the Oakland stadium rather than a park or beach or something in Marin county, or the south bay...although there is another stadium in the south bay now, so maybe there? They flew out of Oakland, not San Jose though, so Oakland makes sense. Treasure Island also fits, but the coy hint was dropped that it was "far" and Treasure Island isn't. They took cabs, so not Alcatraz, unless the ferry or boat is also being withheld, ditto Angel Island.
However, if you are withholding the boat information, either is possible, and you could have still seen the cabs on shore waiting to be paid.
Anyway, this all feels like bull**** to me. They were TOO easily followed, by car or cab, to be protecting "sources" about a LOCATION.
My two cents, and yes, I am annoyed and frustrated by what appears to be dissembling explanation.
I've enjoyed this board for years, joining only this year, and I appreciate so much of what you all do here. Right now though? Not so much.
-
Did David Junior & Peach not ask us to be patient? Why must everyone need to know...RIGHT.THIS.MINUTE? They have already said the location of the finish line was secluded and guarded. Therefore, even if they wanted to, nobody can say with 100% accuracy the final placements. Even knowing the identities of the two teams who forgot to pay their cabs will not confirm anything...you can only speculate.
How many times must people be told the reason why RFF does not reveal the final placements?
-
Well, speculating and looking for spoilers is just a fun part of Amazing Race for me. I figure, not my board, not my rules. Some are taking this way too seriously, lets not suck the fun out it.. :) :)

Location. Just the location. We already know and easily accept they will not spoil the winner, even if they did know it.
I suppose if it was Angel Island or Alcatraz and there was fog over the bay they might not have been able to see which island the boat/ferry landed on. That is the place where a "source" might come into play.
I lived there for many years, following a cab or grabbing one to follow them would have been very easy, and some may have even had their own car around. Whatever.
-
There really is no legit reason why the final location can't be revealed.
It's as simple as typing:
FINISH LINE LOCATION
No "source" compromised, no Race "integrity" lost. No need for a second-by-second account of events. It's just a location of an event that happened 30 hours ago and all the people involved have been comfortably resting in their own homes away from the Bay Area.

Agreed. It's ridiculous to even just be waiting for the Finish Line, it's not like we're hammering for F3 results lol
-
The clues r out there of who won, pretty easy to see. Either way I'm pumped to watch this season out compared to what we saw on the spoilers each leg to see how they edit it.
:conf:
Jody and he Indy seem to be good friends now and I hope bb asks Indy to go on their next season those boys were ROBBED by those Yale debaters :sab
-
I’m sure Peach needed some rest after the 21 day journey and that final nite even I was up until 3am.
I just keep checking and waiting for those pictures & videos from the finals in SF she said would come later. No rush Peach, just checking & hope you are feeling well.
-
I mean if no one knows the finish line location then say so. If it's "you're all being annoying so I'm going to keep this secret forevah!" Then you can say that too. But withholding the finish line location like it's some kind of matter of national security or something? It's like Trump signing off on the release of the JFK documents or something. :wtf:
-
I think the skiers/jody/indy had a final 3 deal because they r all following eachother on social medias. No yale :spy:
-
Raiders. :)
-
They're all back on social media now. I like Conor Daly's explanation for his month-long absence "I got lost in an IKEA" :lol:
The other teams besides Jody would not be allowed to talk about even being on the race yet.

the whole world knows they were on it, amazing race advertised the starting line i dont think they would get in trouble saying they were filming lol

They would.
Jessica & Cody were the only team announced officially as competitors on this season.
Others were not, unlike for seasons 25 and 28, when the entire cast was announced once the race began.

Is this a final location hint?
Disney on Ice had a final show on the evening of the 23rd at the Oracle. The DOI venue contract would have specified venue access for X number of hours for load out and AEG staff would then "turn" the venue from ice to BB court for a game today. Even with non-disclosures that is a lot of traffic and eyes around for a TAR setup at the Coliseum.
-
conor from the indy team commented on jess ig pic saying "our favorite team" whatever that means.
-
Just talked with Peach
She said more info IS coming soon
She is working on compiling a detailed and accurate timeline of events (likely including final location), but she's wading through a lot of pics and info still
We're just asking for a little more patience and grace until we have ALL the info properly compiled
Believe me, we want to share with you guys, I just want to follow the protocol and Peach's leading with it- she wants to share too, when she feels it's right to
I will say it was 100% NOT Oakland Coliseum (or O.CO Arena, for that matter), since some people seem to be really pushing that :res:
-

TAR27 also right? Both 25 and 27 Starting Lines, which is why it was strange there was no official team press release this time. Though CBS likely doesn't care enough to go through the effort.
-
conor from the indy team commented on jess ig pic saying "our favorite team" whatever that means.
Just an opinion, but these teams were all together a lot these past few weeks. Who knows who became friends, who joked around, bickered or bantered back and forth while competing. There may be inside jokes that only they would all know about. Wouldn’t read too much into what they say to each other now that the game is over
-
I have also spoken to Peach and am following her lead. But I can tell you that when I talked to her, we were both still recovering from being up all night and needed a break. As for protecting sources, this is very important. Sometimes people with non-disclosure agreements let info slip and we don't want them hurt. Plus, Peach does not want to do anything that will damage the show or the final outcome. We spoil, but we're still big fans and want the show to continue.
Peach will tell the final mat location soon, but she wants to do it the right way, and with love for the show. DavidJunior and I, and the others that were helping that night, will add details when she reveals the location.

lol both Indy drivers are following the Ring Girls, too. Do you think THEY had an alliance as well? These people have been back on social media for, what, < a day and a half?

I heard this season starts in Feb.. Is that confirmed or just a rumor? I just don't want it to take 8 months to air like season 29 did.
I wouldn't be surprised because Celebrity Big Brother is starting around that time so maybe since Jess and Cody were on TAR30, it will be on together. It might not be a bad thing if they did that because BB gets great ratings and could give TAR30 a push if they were on back to back.

ya I would bet money on either Feb or March.. I wonder if season 29 took so long to air because it was originally expected to air in Sept (keeping up with 2 per year) but had to get pushed back months since they are now only doing 1 per year.
-
Season 29 took wayyyyy to long to air. Their premiere was set for the end of April! At least they moved it to March but then it was on at 10pm which didn't help ratings at all. Hopefully they are on at 8pm or 9pm so that they bring people back
-

TAR29 took so long to air because CBS renewed it as a benchwarmer. It was never going to air in September since CBS gave the show's slot to MacGyver. The show was picked up and would be held until the network needed to fill a timeslot, whether it was a canceled show (which it eventually did) or once MacGyver completed its season run in April (which was original schedule plan announced in November).
-
Also there are several groups with built in fanbases: the NBA players, the Indy guys, and probably smaller the skiers, the eaters, Jess and Cody.
Although, are these skiers still competing? I wonder if this will air around the time of the Winter Olympics?

GUYS.
JUST STOP.
WE ALL HAVE REAL LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES.
WE ARE ALL EXHAUSTED.
I for one am ill. 6 Hours of sleep in 60 hours will do that to you.
The rest of the info will come WHEN we have as team reviewed what we have and confirm all the details. We want accuracy, not speed.
I don't want to see any more about this. It will come when OUR TEAM is done. Not before..
I HOPE that will be by tomorrow, but no guarantees.
I really don't want to come on here hoping to see intelligent discussion about the race (ON TOPIC maybe?) and read a bunch of whining.
So please...go do something else. And stop complaining when you have NO idea what is involved.
The RFF team worked their butts off for you. What happened to : Great job, guys! Thank you so much! We appreciate your efforts?
Chill Pills all around!
AND NO MORE. Go complain somewhere else. :groan:
-
The clues r out there of who won, pretty easy to see.
Because you want them to be clues that Cody & Jessica won? We don't know who won, and that won't change till the season airs.
-
I feel like Jess and Cody didn’t win and that’s why we havnt heard anything.
SO MANY fans of theirs showed interest in the show this season for them.. which was great!
And I think the powers that Be are worried that if the Jody fans find out they didn’t win, they won’t watch the show...
Which would ruin their plan of trying to gain viewers for the show this season to save it from being cancelled
-
We haven't heard anything because it was secluded and guarded. Production knew there were going to be many eyes watching, and they are pros at this after 30 seasons.

um no? Whether they won or not they made it all the way to the end and are gaurnteed to be on every episode.. Their fans will still watch regardless of the outcome.

WE ALL HAVE REAL LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES.
But I thought you “live at RFF”?? :groan:
That still wouldn't negate having real life responsibilities, so try harder to come up with a coherent insult.
-
Why is the finish line location or anything else so important to learn this very second??
The race is over. We're not tracking the racers anymore.
Just chill.
The info is there, but the people who have it will release it at their own pace.
What is the rush?
-
Yeah, the waiting will make you more interested... so just be patient. They didn't even reveal the photos of teams running to the final mat in TAR 25 until the Leg 11 episode has aired...
-
People aren't asking for rush delivery of photos and/or long essays describing in intricate, step-by-step, second-by-second detail of exactly what happened. Just for 1 or 2 or 3 words. The name of the Finish Line location.
It's not about photos or wanting to chase around teams or even wanting to know who won. It's just the name of some a place in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It's not going to compromise anyone or any thing. The Race results aren't going to change. No one is going to make or lose money off of it. Almost every other aspect of the finale, INCLUDING placement at what was described as the last Route Marker before the "final location" was posted LIVE in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Yet the location of the actual Finish Line, (read: a few words, a name. Not video evidence. Not an autobiography of the person who stood on the southeast corner of the location 10 years ago.) is being guarded like a national security secret using flimsy excuses that include things people aren't even asking for.
People would be more understanding if from the start it was "We won't post the Finish Line location to keep it a surprise for the airing." or "We want to sit on this RFF-exclusive information that no one else has as long as possible." Not this runaround and excuses of "we have to go through everything" as if the posting of the location required triangulating Bertram Van Munster's cellphone.
-
OK, what am I missing? The race is over. What is the visceral need to know where the finish line was and know it right now? Id love to see pics and such but Im lost in this finish line thing.. Again, maybe Im missing something.
-
It's nice to have some finality, and it IS odd that we've had the Finish Line locations recently only for this year to be this closely guarded.
I agree with dryedmangoez.
-
If I had to guess it has to be somewhere high up.
I still dont see anything in the past spoilers that would highlight phil telling them the fear of heights thing at the start line.
-
I forgot about Phil mentioning something about the fear of heights. Do you remember exactly what it was that he said?
Didn`t he also say something about a twist? What was that?
-
I don’t have the time or energy right now to give this the fuller treatment it would deserve, but what if the one sourced information from a confidential source has to have an independently derived second source to use and confirm the original source? No matter how reliable and trustworthy the original source may be, one will want to preserve that original, ultra-reliable confidential for later and other use. Lawyers see this, law enforcement see this, journalists see this, investigators see this.
That is the reality of this. Back during Nixon’s time, Ben Bradley, then the Executive Editor, insisted of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that any confidential information had to have two independent confirmed sources to any fact they reported. You can watch the film,”All The President’s Meet or read the source book to see how that works.
In any event, I believe we’re waiting for that reliable second source.
-
They were THERE. It was posted here that they weren't telling "for security."
"They" and subsequent statements make it obvious that several were there.
Also, as for "why do you want to know?"
Hello! This is a fan SPOILER site, that's why we've been here all season, for exactly this. Not for the winners, but at least for the location. Tasks are a bonus.

Thanks to all that volunteer their time for our entertainment.
Can't wait to watch the season after following along with the TAR30 adventure.

Welcome to RFF, coffeebean! :waves:
I can't wait to at least find out the premiere date. :jam:
-
Thanks to all that volunteer their time for our entertainment.
Can't wait to watch the season after following along with the TAR30 adventure.
THANK YOU for even saying it. I'm mostly a lurker here and I can't believe the ungrateful posters here who whine about not getting their spoilers or "withholding" information or whatever. I think I've been following this page since Season 8? You guys especially Georgia here at RFF do phenomenal investigative work! Everything is so organized here. I can wait for the information. Oh and to whoever is whining about the location of the finish line? It was in the San Francisco Bay Area...LOL If you really need to know, why weren't you there following them? It's not RFF's fault.
-
Start using Imgur.com and Google Docs to share info. You'll get it out and organized quicker. Photobucket is ancient.

I certainly appreciate all you do here for TAR. :conf:
-
i don't understand the obsession with the finish line. i mean, if Peach & teams said they need time then i will wait patiently. they must be exhausted and have other things to do in real life. I experienced that before when TAR visited Bali in season 22 & 28. back from work i directly went to the airport to catch the racers. arrived at home at 04.00 AM and then have to be at Tanah Lot when the racers released at at 06.00 AM, didn't have enough sleep. And Peach didn't force me to give the information that i had immediately. i appreciate the hard work of moderator & detectives here. Tbh i don't really care about the finish line
-
This is the fourth time they have had a finish line in San Francisco (TAR2, TAR11/All Stars, TAR16) and it isnt Los Angeles this time!
-
I forgot about Phil mentioning something about the fear of heights. Do you remember exactly what it was that he said?
Didn`t he also say something about a twist? What was that?
Maybe he was speaking figuratively... not literally

I came to this forum at the begging of the season to follow the twins & they're in final 3 yay!! But I've never registered to post until today. I'm just confused as to why this is a spoiler site BUT WONT announce winners?? I've read they don't wanna spoil it for people who don't want to know, but in all fairness it says "spoiler" before you click on it SO if somebody comes to this site it's obviously for spoilers. The ones that don't want to know will not even be here. Is it because you don't really know?? I read you also said to protect sources, but how does that make sense? You haven't protected sources all season so what's the difference now? I feel like Twitter has broke more sources than here throughout the season. I've saw posts of users upset because they saw the finale unfold (which have been deleted) BUT "georgiapeach" won't let them post or say anything about it. last I checked she doesn't own you go post it on Twitter or Facebook or wherever. I'd be dang if I did all that work for her just for her to tell me to keep my mouth shut!!!! Seems like she treats some of you like slaves. I know I'll get blocked & this post will be removed because that's what Peach has seemed to do all season if you don't agree with her way of thinking. It's actually become a joke of a site & all you guys who abide by her rules look weak, if you have the ability to announce winner do it yourself instead of letting her stake claim. Whoever owns Reality Fan Forum really needs to find someone else to run this because this season has been nothing short of a joke. They find their info on twitter then post their name on it make it look like a Reality Fan Forum exclusive. There is so much wrong with this site. Goodbye for good if they get new people to run it I will be back but I will probably be banned anyways hahahaha
-
the twins got 6th place, they didn't make final 3 ^.
Final 3 was Ski girls, Jody, and Debate team.
-
Twins went out way before the final 3.
Knowing the eventual winners ruins the fun and we have experienced that before.
There's no doubt people would keep discussing that information all over the place, even if it was posted in a separate thread or whatever. Especially with the new folk in town.
We've all seen how many times the mods tried to keep order around here. And they all failed. Because too many people don't care to learn how this board operates.
There's not really a discussion to be had over the reveal of winners, even if known.
It's also become pretty tiring how everyone keeps insinuating the 'protect sources' phrases.
The information that is yet to be revealed is in a few people's hands. You don't know what or who it concerns. I don't know.
It may be a special case that's forcing them to treat the info more carefully. It may be nothing special and they just haven't organised it yet.
So they will decide what to do when they wish. These repeated rants will surely not accelerate anything.
-
That's why I don't post, I word stuff wrong haha. I did come here for the twins & am team twins but I meant now they're DOWN to the final 3. That was a run on sentence I suppose. Oops. I am aware twins didn't make final 3 lol. I've been following since the beginning & get information about every elimination down to final 3 then it stops and we get nothing and they say they won't announce winner? Then what is the purpose of the forum? It's like reading a good book that is missing the final chapter. At least people on twitter acknowledge they don't know who won so if that's the case here they need to do the same

... I feel like Twitter has broke more sources than here throughout the season. I've saw posts of users upset because they saw the finale unfold ... go post it on Twitter or Facebook or wherever.
I highlighted just part of your post to answer those points.
Yes, there was a lot of spoiling this season on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other sites. A lot of this had to do with the pre-existing fanbase of Cody and Jessica (#TeamJody). But have you seen much of the final leg spoiled on Twitter and elsewhere? No. And that is because RFF is the best at what they do. This site is a compendium of information on TAR in all of its US and international versions, as well as Survivor, Big Brother and many other reality programs.
If you want to find out more about what happened on TAR30, including more information about the final leg, stay tuned to this channel. You won't be sorry you did.
-
I thought I gave an explanation why the winners were never revealed on this forum. Whether we have them or not, it hasn't been done for many seasons.
The last chapter of this good book that you're talking about is what everyone wants to suspensefully watch unfold on TV.
If you're interested in who won, you'll have to search elsewhere.
-
I get what you're saying but then what is the purpose of this forum? Might as well delete the word spoiler then. The people who want to watch how the last chapter unfolds won't be on this spoiler forum I assure you that. Twitter is a different story, too many people can RT & the wrong person will come across it! You don't just accidentally stumble onto this forum for any other reason other than spoilers.
-
Folks on this forum of fans of the show, not just a particular team. Searching and following then during the race is part of the fun and enjoyment of the show, Many follow and like to keep the end unspoiled and see the end unfolds when then show airs.
And for the record, this site has been doing this for years. Trust me they know what they are doing.
-
Sourapple - This forum was instrumental in identifying ten of the eleven teams racing in TAR30. That information has not been released by CBS (except for the eleventh team) and is certainly considered spoiler material. Since this was a public start, you may think these teams were all pretty much exposed to the public anyway, but if you look back, RFF has identified racers even when the start wasn't a public event.
RFF may not be the site you are looking for to discuss Reality Television shows, but many would disagree, including me.
-
I get what you're saying but then what is the purpose of this forum?
Gathering and summarising accurate information about the teams, route, locations, tasks and everything else each season, which has been done successfully for TAR30 as well.
The people who want to watch how the last chapter unfolds won't be on this spoiler forum I assure you that.
And I have assured you that as well. :)

If you read through the live sightings, It sounds like RFF's team couldn't get close enough to see what was happening at the final location. It was too secluded and they had security people keeping them away. So, I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly confident RFF doesn't know who the winner was.
It's been said elsewhere a few times, but I'll repeat it. We have had seasons where everything was revealed and once that happened, interest around here dropped off to next to nothing. Keep a little mystery at the end and it keeps people interested and engaged. We've done it this way for quite a few years and it works for RFF. I'm somewhat surprised at all the people angry about this. What makes you think we owe it to you to spell out every last detail?
-
They find their info on twitter then post their name on it make it look like a Reality Fan Forum exclusive.
For the record.....I was on twitter the night of the final leg.
TWITTER users simply copied and pasted almost ALL of RFF's final leg word for word....post for post.
A 'few" twitter users noted the info came from RFF, but not all. I didn't see/read any revelation about the final leg from ANY Twitter user that night that didn't come directly from THIS site.
Trying to bully the people in charge into getting your way isn't going to work. This is NOT BB19.
And, yes....I know....this if off-topic! :funny:

If anybody out there besides the production staff and the racers know who the winners are, I'd be shocked. I haven't seen anything out in the Twitterverse or Facebook, so I don't think anyone knows. As for just posting tweets and information from other social media, that's by far the best source of information. There wouldn't be much to post without that. We always strive to credit whoever put their sighting out where we could find it. I suspect there are a few cases where that wasn't done but that's the exception, not the rule. As for the protecting our sources claim that keeps getting thrown in our faces, I think that was entirely used (or nearly so) by the Jody Fans. We don't have inside sources of information that need to be protected. In 15 seasons of chasing spoilers, I've never seen any information leak from the TAR production team. Maybe somebody they hire locally will spill something on social media but not often. So, we don't have to protect somebody's job, although when a locally hired person is involved we generally haven't revealed who it was. Personally, I suspect the "protect the source" claims was just a response to our requests to know the source of the categorical assertions being made with little or no supporting evidence. By saying they had to protect their source, they didn't have to explain their claims.

Plaidmoon it's pretty obvious who won when that reporter tweeted that thing about a team he recently interviewed

rff people and peach's timeline is missing an hour and a half, so a lot could've changed in that time.
-
I knew the current timeline was off, that is way too little tasks and easy for a FINALE I can't wait to see what happened I love the final 3 all good competitors and will give a good show.
-
Plaidmoon it's pretty obvious who won when that reporter tweeted that thing about a team he recently interviewed
Which is probably what the marketing machine wants a particular fan base to believe. It's the scoop that keeps on giving, freely.
1. How many racers were marketed prior to start? One
2. Whose fan base did the marketing desire to pull in at the start? One
3. Whose fan base is lighting up social media about TAR? One
4. What did all this marketing cost? $0
5. Other racing teams may be promoted closer to show time or not.
For many viewers, it doesn't matter who wins - it is all about the race, the game play, and the travel.
For the machine - it is all about advertising $$$.
:conf: We want TAR renewed!

I never said anything about the timeline. Not sure why you're bringing it in here. However, there was never a 90 minute period during the final leg when Peach and the RFF team weren't providing updates, even if it's that they were all in a building. Also, a task could easily take 90 minutes to complete. You're right, much could change in 90 minutes. However, we're not claiming to know how the race ended. We haven't claimed that since the Skiers arrived first that they must have won. That's been others who make the assumption. Any of the three teams could have won.

I've been following since the beginning & get information about every elimination down to final 3 then it stops and we get nothing and they say they won't announce winner? Then what is the purpose of the forum? It's like reading a good book that is missing the final chapter. At least people on twitter acknowledge they don't know who won so if that's the case here they need to do the same
If you read through the live sightings, It sounds like RFF's team couldn't get close enough to see what was happening at the final location. It was too secluded and they had security people keeping them away. So, I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly confident RFF doesn't know who the winner was.
It's been said elsewhere a few times, but I'll repeat it. We have had seasons where everything was revealed and once that happened, interest around here dropped off to next to nothing. Keep a little mystery at the end and it keeps people interested and engaged. We've done it this way for quite a few years and it works for RFF. I'm somewhat surprised at all the people angry about this. What makes you think we owe it to you to spell out every last detail?
rff people and peach's timeline is missing an hour and a half, so a lot could've changed in that time.
I never said anything about the timeline. Not sure why you're bringing it in here. However, there was never a 90 minute period during the final leg when Peach and the RFF team had nothing to report.
just stating that they didn't end until 3am pt.
And you know this how?
Again, we haven't claimed any of the teams won. Not sure why we take the blame for a supposed 90 minute gap.
-
just stating that they didn't end until 3am pt.
Oh, this reminds me of the 2:15pm flight from Hong Kong to SFO that turned out incorrect. Those start photos from Hong Kong were among some of the best spoilers. :funny:
-
Peach was posting WELL past 3 AM. He's just fishing for info.
-
OK, I looked at the Live Sighting thread and there was about 90 minutes between the last update and Peach's recap. I guess that's what you're referring to. I suppose that makes it sinister. It can take time to do the last challenge and I'm sure it wasn't easy. So, that might well eat up close to 90 minutes. It's also possible that Peach took a few minutes to collect herself after the adrenaline rush of the evening, talk with her team and compose the thoughts she wanted to present.
Yes, in 90 minutes much can change. But we've never claimed to know what happened at the end, so we're not hiding anything. ANY of the three teams might have won it. One did. That's what we know.

who said anything sinister was implied? why so defensive? all I stated was I know what time it ended and it was around 3am pt. was no dig at anyone, just a statement of fact.
-
I'm sad you didn't realise that throughout the season, but "I know" doesn't go as fact here.
-
Peach was posting WELL past 3 AM. He's just fishing for info.
for what info exactly? Everyone on RFF has already admitted they don't know who won and lost track of them after a certain point, and peach was not giving updates at 3am PT (6am my time) nobody was, they were out of sight well before that point by everyone here who claims they were there.
-
Off topic from what you all are discussing but I have a general TAR question. If I’m in the wrong place on the forum for that I’m sorry. My question- even though it was a public start, since only one team was officially announced by the network, are the rest not allowed to publicly say they were on the show until they get officially announced, even though there’s pics of them all over? Just wondering how that works..thanks
-
My guess is they went into a building and had more tasks inside where you scouters couldnt watch. maybe it was part of a "twist" phil talked about at the start line.
-
i don't understand the obsession with the finish line. i mean, if Peach & teams said they need time then i will wait patiently. they must be exhausted and have other things to do in real life. I experienced that before when TAR visited Bali in season 22 & 28. back from work i directly went to the airport to catch the racers. arrived at home at 04.00 AM and then have to be at Tanah Lot when the racers released at at 06.00 AM, didn't have enough sleep. And Peach didn't force me to give the information that i had immediately. i appreciate the hard work of moderator & detectives here. Tbh i don't really care about the finish line
I totally agree with you! During the HK leg this season, I went directly to the airport after my work at 7pm and started to follow the teams until 8:30 where they finally came out from the gate.
It was such an excited yet worried 1.5 hour in my entire life lol :funny:

Yes, they're not allowed to tell unless CBS has officially announced.

That is so confusing to me because cbs asked fans to come watch the start line, seems silly to not just release alll the teams back when they started filming

CBS had an official press release revealing the teams almost immediately after the open Starting Lines of TAR25 and TAR27. That's why it's odd nothing for TAR30. But then again, TAR isn't too high on CBS' priority list these days.
-
So sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but all the back and forth is maddening!!
As a newbie to this site, I just wanted to comment on few things.
In the beginning, there was bickering between posters on this board and some Jody fans. It went both ways. However, I think the start of it all was some Jody fans not understanding (or not caring) how this board works and/or not abiding by the rules of this board. Then we had the seasoned posters trying to correct them. Misunderstandings turned into chaos. It would have been a much more positive experience for everyone if all that bickering didn't exist. How does this get rectified so it doesn't become the norm?
As far as what Georgia Peach and the other detectives do here, I find it fascinating and quite impressive. I personally think they ALL deserve a huge round of applause and giant debt of gratitude! What they were able to deliver to us on finale night, was incredible! I didn't see anything even remotely close anywhere else on finale night despite searching all night. All the sightings and information that I saw everywhere else, came straight from RFF. Would we all like to know more? Of course we would!! But let's all just be happy for the AMAZING feat they were able to pull off a few nights ago, and have a little patience until more info is able to be shared. And in the event nothing new surfaces, just think of how exciting the finale will be when all is finally revealed.
A special personal thank you to Georgia Peach. As busy as she was during the season, she took the time to walk me through some things I didn't know how to do. So, Thanks Peach...much appreciated!!
Thanks to everyone for your time! :)
-
Just my two cents but I don't think all of these commotions will also happen if Jody didn't end up on the finale. :res:

Experienced RFF members like us would have adapted the rule long before though, it probably takes times for newcomers (especially Jody fans who extremely care their positions on each leg of the race :groan:)
-
Tell you what guys, can we please get back to discussing the spoilers? Searching for missing legs?
This is a thread for the TAR30 spoiler discussion, not a thread for how RFF works or does not work.
And thank you for the kind words as well! Everyone worked extremely hard to bring you the HK and San Fran spoilers, so some love for the incredible on the ground teams means a lot!
Thanks!

I'm not sure it's San Francisco Bay, but if it is, that must be the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge because there are no tall buildings near the Golden Gate Bridge. Would they use day time shots in a night time leg? That might also suggest that the Zodiac boats went to the bridge. Could the team jumping have been from the bridge? Interesting to speculate but no proof.

The Bay Bridge is a freeway bridge, so no sidewalks or something that they can use to jump.
-
The buildings between the photogs resembles the Rincon Hill towers. I'd say the boat they were on was halfway between SF and Yerba Buena island and south of the bridge. Sources:

Finish Line on a boat?

Finish Line on a boat?
That’s honestly would be tragic for the teams who had to drive back on their boat to land to pay their taxis

Finish Line on a boat?
That’s honestly would be tragic for the teams who had to drive back on their boat to land to pay their taxis
And also hilariously cruel. But it's gotta be a large boat.
-
Well, you would have to acknowledge that a boat would be a pretty good secure, restricted access and restricted visibility location. And, if they wanted to have the equivalent of a footrace they could make the teams have to climb a cargo net up the side of the boat (ship?) to board.
-
The Bay Bridge photo MAY reflect when teams disappeared on the zodiac boats after the kayak task...and were gone approx. an hour.
We believe they were doing a JUMP...but did not reappear WET.
So a jump and swing maybe? Pure spec!
-
Probably the same bungee swing they did in TAR17 Finale.
-
how does that make any sense at all, wasnt in night time during the kayak task pics which was before that jump ?
-
They could have done a night parachute jump, several smaller airports around Oakland/East Bay and it's a "thing" there.
A bungee type jump could be set up anywhere as well, including on one of the islands in the bay or in any enclosed space.
-
how does that make any sense at all, wasnt in night time during the kayak task pics which was before that jump ?
Production/Phil probably got in ahead of them earlier in the day.
If the finish line is on a boat, while that is cool, just don't want a repeat of 24's stunty entrance to the finish where the winner was decided by who got to the cluebox first.
-
Phil's pic looks to have been taken Monday afternoon most likely considering the sun is in the west as the pic is facing the City.
-
Quick order of the night to help clarify:
Arrive at SFO
Travel by taxi to South Beach Harbor/Pier 40/AT&T Park
Perform task with kayaks and baseballs (possible Willie Mays tie-in?)
Leave Pier 40 area by boat
Possibly perform some form of "jump" task?
Arrive at Pier 15/Exploratorium by boat (neither team member appeared wet after "jump" task)
Receive clue leading to Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory
Travel to Fortune Cookie Factory on foot
Perform tasks at Fortune Cookie Factory
Receive clue leading to SF City Hall
Travel to City Hall by taxi
Arrive at City Hall and receive clue leading to final location
Travel to final location by taxi
Arrive at final location
Perform final task?
Run to pit stop within the same area?
Peach will be coming soon with an official timeline and more details, but thought I'd clear things up a little, since there might've been a little confusion on transportation
Question marked items are due to us not having visual confirmation of these, thought they all seem highly likely
-
Can you scouters please explain to me how the skiers got ahead in a boat ride when yall reported that jody and the debaters beat the skiers in the kayak challenge and said they had kayak problems??
Here is some information on the "jump" comment. The racers left the kayaks via zodiac boat (Pier 40/South Beach Harbor/AT&T Park). They arrived at Pier 15/Exploratorium approximately 1 hour later. During this 1 hour (maybe at the 45 minute mark?) I overheard one of the waiting production staff say, "The first team just jumped." That was all I heard and no other context. So wherever this "jump" was, they had to be able to get from Pier 40 to Pier 15 by boat with the "jump" in between. The quoted picture of the skiers was taken at Pier 15 when they got off the boat and they don't look wet.
-
Because either they travelled faster or did the task faster of course. Placements can change at the drop of a hat.
And the "kayak problem" was a guess because they were seen just waiting at one point. In hindsight, it is possible they were either waiting for the umpire or their zodiac pickup.
-
Context of Willie Mays and the kayaks: The water on the other side of the right field fence is called McCovey cove, named after Willie McCovey, a hall of famer, & team mate of Willie Mays. Home run balls over the right field fence land in McCovey Cove, and people really do rent kayaks there and hang out to fish out home run balls from the water.
-
Travel by taxi to South Beach Harbor/Pier 40/AT&T Park
Perform task with kayaks and baseballs (possible Willie Mays tie-in?)
Just based on the 2 videos posted to YouTube and Instagram Stories, the clue picked up in front of AT&T Park/Willie Mays Plaza asked teams
How many career HRs did Willie Mays hit? = 660
They then had to go to Pier 40, hop into a kayak and paddle themselves into McCovey Cove to search for three baseballs with the numbers 6, 6 and 0. Those were the baseballs needed to be given to the umpire.
-
Could this be a reference to one of the TAR19 finale tasks, it sounds reminiscent of it. Or...TAR just likes baseball in their finales, because we had it as a theme last season too :P
"On completing the Roadblock, teams had to deduce that the series of three numbers on the clue were a homage to Hank Aaron: 44 (his uniform number), 715 (the number of home runs he hit to break the Major League Baseball home run record) and 74 (the year in which he broke the record). Teams had to figure out that they were to go to Turner Field."
-
I moved a lot of misguided spoiler final 3 order discussion to the Jody Thread.
Please read my post there. Thanks!

From the live sighting thread:
I don't think this was posted.
Found a small article (http://www.varmatin.com/serie-tv/la-chaine-cbs-a-tourne-le-pekin-express-americain-a-saint-tropez-176242) in french about TAR's visit to Saint-Tropez.
According to the article, they played boules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boules) (=pétanque (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque) I think ?) at Place de Lices.
I love the last line (and caption to the photo): "If filming was meant to be confidential, it did not resist to a touchdown on social networks." (Google translate, but you get the drift.) :funny:

Yes, she will. Just be patient. We're not in a rush.
-
Thank you! Yes, I do know that, but I was just hoping to speed along the process (just because she mentioned that there would be loads of photos and videos for weeks to come)
-
With a premiere less than six weeks away, and a cast reveal beforehand, there will be plenty to digest.

From the Media:
travel to their first destination, Iceland, where they must traverse a massive canyon high above the Geitargljufur River
teams will travel to 10 countries, 21 cities and over 29,000 miles in the quest to cross the finish line
Who is checking the count?? Are they right? Are WE right??
Don't think we had the traverse either....

Yeah the countries is right because I believe they include the US as one of the 10 countries. They have only two countries to have two legs this season so 10 countries.

From the CBS press release:
Teams begin their adventure in Washington Square Park in New York City and immediately travel to their first destination, Iceland, where they must traverse a massive canyon high above the Geitargljufur River.
I am really curious to see this part of the episode because I spent a lot of time on Google Earth trying to find this site using the information on that first clue. First of all, searching for Geitargljufur gets you nowhere. I'm not actually sure that's the right name. I eventually figured out that gljufur is Icelandic for gorge or canyon and that there is a Geita River along part of the Kaldidalur Road (spelling may be a bit off) that the clue said to take. Problem is that the river runs through fairly flat terrain and the only gorge I could find was about 20-30 feet deep and about 50-75 feet across. Not very impressive except that the lava in the area is interesting. I'm thinking they must have followed the Geita river up to the source at the Langjökull glacier. I tried to find a suitable gorge there but Google Earth is lacking detail and I couldn't identify one. There are some peaks above the river that they could rig something between but it appeared it would be at least a quarter mile across and I'm not sure how you would get up or down from the peaks.

Good news, Double Battle/Face-off will finally appear on TAR 30.
:HNY:
-
If they're like HaMerotz and a few TARPH2 and TAR China ones, then yay. If they're like any TAR Canada ones, then no thank you :cmaslol
-
That's exciting, I never imagined that task could be a Face-Off. :cmas9
-
I’m not excited that it’s at the end of the leg and basically is the sole determinant of leg placements and the main reason a team got eliminated
It’s a bad implementation and placement of a type of task I didn’t really even want to see
I hope it’s the only one we see if it is a face off
-
Been waiting for this pop up in TAR US!
Excited for it! :xmas146 :cmas51
-
That's exciting, I never imagined that task could be a Face-Off. :cmas9
What's the task?
I’m not excited that it’s at the end of the leg and basically is the sole determinant of leg placements and the main reason a team got eliminated
It’s a bad implementation and placement of a type of task I didn’t really even want to see
And that's exactly what I meant about it being more TAR Canada-like. HaMarotz, TARChina and TARPH's were usually (if not all) in the first half of their Legs with plenty more tasks following.
-
Yeah, not the best placement for it. I'm hoping the last place team was the last one to get to the Face Off.
-
On second thought, you guys are right that the placement is not the best for this task.
And I also hope that the eliminated team didn't fall behind just because of it.
dryedmangoez, the task is the frites/french fries one. I assume it's some kind of race.
-
Could the French fry race be a RACE TO THE PITSTOP?
-
dryedmangoez, the task is the frites/french fries one. I assume it's some kind of race.
Oh! I didn't really follow the tasks live. But looking at it, it seems like a HaMerotz-style wacky/offbeat kind of task. Not a completely sport-like task like TAR Canada.
But yeah, the placement on the Leg is :cmas3. And that's just true for any TAR that has used the Double Battle/Face Off on their Race. Should be interesting to see how TARUS implements and executes it.

In the contestant's profiles. April from the Goat Yoga Moms states that it is her dream to be on TAR. Peach posted something about Dessie from the Ring Girls/Models that she applied 3 times with her father, brother and a cousin, only to be finally casted with a fellow model and friend Kayla. I wonder who the other team is. But seriously 8 recruits! I wonder how that will translate onto the show knowing they are not fans to begin with.
-
Granath was probably right with those posts below. Those teams applied were Goat Yoga moms, Ring Girls/Models and Louisiana twins. The rest were recruited including Jody, B-ball and Skiers.

In Phil's THR interview (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/amazing-race-host-phil-keoghan-talks-30-seasons-years-best-best-competitors-1071311), (around 18:17) he describes/teases the Face Off/Double Battle and says it'll happen more than once, at least, in the season. But in describing Leg 2's task, he says it starts out being fun and frivolous before basically (possibly?) being the deciding factor in that Leg's elimination.
-
I remember seeing in one of the tv commercials the Skiers and Jody together playing something like bocce ball in France. Perhaps that could be another Face-Off?
Edit: One of the Skiers said she was really frustrated in that clip. Perhaps after losing a couple rounds at the Face-Off?

Georgiapeach and KYT6DM's revelation that the final pit stop was on the USS Hornet in Alameda explains much. It certainly explains how they couldn't get close enough to see what was happening. Hopefully that will satisfy the conspiracy theorists.
That location blows me away. My Dad was in the US Navy for 22 years and most of my childhood was spent just a few miles away from Alameda. The final pit stop location was a Naval Base for many years, though it closed 15-20 years ago. I spent a lot of time on that base. We bought groceries at the commissary there. We went to movies there and used the swimming pool. I learned to swim there. We went to the pediatrician at the clinic on the base. I wish I could have been there to see TAR run the leg at a place with so many memories for me. I'll be looking forward to the finale with great interest.
Also, the Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation appears to be a private organization, so it must have been appealing to TAR as keeping it secret must have been much easier.

I love that you lived there! Wish you could have been there too....

No
-

That has happened around 10 or 11 times. Would be the first time an all-female team won both the first and final leg though if the Skiers win/won. Nat and Kat finished 2nd in the first leg when they won, so they came close.
-
To answer what SoYoung actually asked, yes, it would be the first time in history.
-
I think SoYoung might be referring to the top 3 teams in the first Leg finishing in the exact same order on the Final Leg. If so, then it would be a first here on TAR30. That has never happened before.
In fact, TAR1 and TAR20 are the only seasons where the Top 3 of the first Leg were the Final 3 of the Race. Except, Guidos and Frank & Margarita/Brendon & Rachel and Art & JJ switched places on the Final Leg.
Most seasons have had 1 or 2 of the 1st Leg Top 3 in the Final Leg and of course many first Leg winners have gone on to also win the Race. A few seasons also where teams finished in the same place as their first Leg. But never all 3 teams.
So it would be a first if the Final Leg placements will also be:
Winners: Kristi & Jen
2nd Place: Cody & Jessica
3rd Place: Henry & Evan
It's certainly possible.
-
My bad. Thought the question was asking about individual team placement.

Yes this is what i meant. Thank you. our bottom 3 this week would be their final placement as well based on the spoilers if they are correct.
-
Joey looks like he is in pain running in the promo and it shows something happened while climbing up the tower
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned but remember on the flight from Switzerland to Harare where there were photos of Lifeguards, Debaters, and Firefighters seated together? Jessica said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that Jody did form an alliance that happened organically, which likely means Jody, Skiiers, and Indy were together on the flight (in the front of the plane/in the front of the pack). Also, Ring Girls did an interview on Rob Has a Podcast and said Jody were targeted by everyone from the start, but Dessie and Kayla wanted to make an alliance with Jody.
-
Judging from the season-long preview, it looks like we may have 3 big tasks for the HK leg?
A task in Aberdeen? (Though we lost them there)
RB at central pier (in preview）
Task at Lan Kwai Fong (Indy's elimination / Jody's sighting)
It looks good for a HK leg! (Previous HK legs except TAR17 ate all lame)
-
Speculation theory:
After this first head-to-head, most people believe the next one will be in St-Tropez, France (aka leg 4) with the Pétanque task.
I think it will also lead to elimination:
If I'm not mistaken, the task is taking place at the same place of the pitstop (Place des Lices)
We saw some teams hanging in the background of some pictures (The competitive eaters), which would mean that this team lost and are waiting for the next team.
And we have a picture of two teams at the mat at the same time: The lifeguards and the Basketballers. I think they are the last two teams to check in (like we just had with the firefighters and Goat Yoga).
And we never saw team Basketball after that... So I would guess that they got Eliminated, with Lifeguards being in 8th place

I'm talking about this picture. And notice the flags? We had similar flags along the course of the first head-to-head
-
This completely sucks then. :groan:
-
I don't know if the Head-to-head and its placement is hilarious, infuriating or just inexplicable and absurd. It definitely feels like a contrived way to further the "most competitive" hype.
-
There's another Head-to-Head!!!
Don't care that it is at the end of the leg. GREAT PLACE to put it, but still calling it to the Head-to-Head :cmas12
And one is enough for a season...
-
No Bourkie...putting it at the end of a leg is AWFUL. I don't think any other franchise has EVER done that. This purely sucks.
Good eye stunami, but I REALLY hope you are not right!!

Although officially was an Intersection, TARLA did the same in the fourth leg of the second season.

That sounds familiar to me. I remember seeing a similar article back during the filming. At least the details about the song and the reformed Four Brothers. Whether it's in here upthread, I couldn't say.
-

I suspect it won't. It sounds like the sort of deal where he’ll go to each location, film any stand-ups and on camera interviews and can do voiceovers anywhere. And it would be relatively quick as well.(Most of the episodes if not all of them, would have co-hosts as a few were named in the press release as reported on Deadline Hollywood website.

Speaking of Zimbabwe, TV Guide lists episodes 7 and 8 on February 7th as both occuring in Zimbabwe, which I think confirms what many have suspected of there being two Zimbabwe legs.

"Gotta Put Your Sole Into It" - The race continues in St. Tropez, France, and Provence, France. The title for S30 Episode 4 showed up in my program guide this morning...

In the preview of the frites head-to-head comp, there was no sign of Jody, who ended up winning the leg. In tonight's preview of the next bocce head-to-head comp there is no sign of Jody again. Another first place finish coming up ??

If I remember correctly, in one of the early previews, there was a clip of the Skiers and Jody at the Petanque faceoff and the Skiers being disappointed, so it's possible that was for first judging by their track records. As we know though, previews aren't always accurate, so we'll see.
-
Random fun fact: This is the first season in which the final 3 teams each won one of the first three legs.
-
Looks like a sports Face Off. Mangoez ain't gonna like that too much :P
-
Well curling and crokicurl were two of the least offensive TAR Canada Face Offs, though their placement on a Penultimate Leg is still :cmas30:
But petanque is certainly better than basketball or water polo.
-
Current Leg Discussion should go into that leg please.
So Leg 4 spoilers can be discussed in the leg 4 thread...
Moved a couple. :)
-
Here's what would we have given on the timeline summary:
October 8 (Day 8 ) - Run Leg 4, tasks in Saint Tropez
October 9 (Day 9) - Probable extended Pit Stop
October 10 (Day 10) - Release times for Leg 5 in early morning, Run the leg in Provence
October 11 (Day 11) - Release times for Leg 6, travel to Prague
-
Current Leg Winners:
Leg 1 - Skiers
Leg 2 - Jody
Leg 3 - Yale
Leg 4 - Indy
Leg 5 - Lifeguards
Hopefully this will be their final placement as well. Love the pattern

And we never saw team Basketball after that... So I would guess that they got Eliminated, with Lifeguards being in 8th place
For once I was right haha... doesn't happen often :P
Another theory for next week: Could it be possible that we have two flights going to Prague? We have this picture at the Uturn board with the first 5 teams. I think they will be on the same flight, and that the last 3 teams will be on another flight (which is why team big brother Uturned the well strung guys) (Indy could be on either flight).
There was talk (if I remember right) about some teams being 3-4 hours behind in Prague...
I was shock to see who big brother Uturned, after seeing that the well strung guys were doing good, but not the strongest team there. If they were the last two teams there, then it would make sense, and it would also explained why team big brother are saying : our face is going to be on there, in the preview. Maybe the first 5 teams made a deal to not use the Uturn.

Yeah I was also wondering about the uturn usage. Not so much that Jody uturned Well Strung. They are/were a relatively strong team and Jody was friendly with the Skiers and Indycar, so I wouldn't expect Jody to uturn either of them. More so that the lifeguards seemed to be ahead of jody and didn't uturn them. Especially because Jess said recently that Brittany held the gnome thing over her for the entire duration of filming (She really does not like Brittany lol). I think they probably thought they were getting u-turned because they knew the lifeguards didn't like them, and they knew other teams viewed them as a threat. I'm thinking the Skiers maybe talked them out of it? Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

So my old friend -------- is in Prague. He took this picture and wrote this post, you can't buy an experience like this: We stumbled across these envelopes this morning in a small park, semi-hidden behind the shrubs. We are thinking is this the real deal? As I decide to find out by picking one up, some guy behind the bushes pops up and nicely asks me not to touch them. He confirmed it was indeed the real Amazing Race in Prague! What are the chances! One hour later we saw the end destination point film crew waiting for the teams to arrive in another famous park.
4 teams in the front; 3 in the back.
That's what I meant... Probably 2 flights to Prague, or something that separated them into two groups (a bus or plane ride)

I was actually thinking that too. I think there were rumors back during filming that Jody got u-turned in Zimbabwe but overcame it. Would make sense if the Lifeguards were responsible for that.

If Yale knew between the end of Leg 9 and the start of Leg 10 that OceanRescue had been eliminated, then they might have strategically decided to go slow in Thailand knowing that it would be impossible to eliminate them for that round and therefore conserve their energy for HK.

It doesn't make sense. You could end up in last place :funny:.
-
Except that's the point.
-
Except that's the point.
Not worth it, you could risk elimination from the race. The racers wouldn't know beforehand if they would be leaving Thailand in Leg 11, and thus being able to potentially catch up on a flight. Even if they could catch up on a flight, they would still face a speed bump which would put them behind again.
-
Yeah, there's never any good reason to purposely fall behind.
-
Potential risk of elimination =/= its guarantee.
Last non-Philippine Southeast Asian penultimate leg was Vietnam 27 seasons ago, plus Oceania stopped hosting them since the end of the same 13-leg era; savvy superfans can therefore wager that the 11th leg of recent eastward routes will for certain be in East Asia.
SBs are a minor setback that can be easily overcome.
-
It looks like Evan will be eating scorpions while Henry wears them, so there goes the chance of a TARCAN-style strategic quit in order to save themselves from performing a gross Roadblock with the knowledge that it's NEL.

All I'm saying is that there's no real gain in purposely not doing your best and falling behind.
"Saving your energy" isn't like you're skipping the leg, taking a day off. If that was an option, then you could call it a strategy. But when you still have to run the leg and perform all those same tasks, you get tired nevertheless. Walking to places rather than running won't save you enough energy to offset the disadvantage of getting worse tickets (back of the plane), or hell even risking a later flight for your team, coupled with a speed bump.
You can't say that speedbumps are easily overcome because that's situational. If there's a footrace for last place, or if you're literally minutes apart, then definitely the reason you were last is because you had that tiny extra task to complete.
I don't see how you can reason against that (don't mean this disrespectfully).

Fair enough - E/H don't seem like the types to take the easy way out, after all.

Hearing Cantonese from the preview is amazing <333333
I am looking forward to the order taking task :-*
Hopefully another good times since S14 Kisha & Jen :bow:
-
Judging from the edits, I would bet either Kristi & Jen to win with all the all-female team talk and their Top 3 dominance during the Race. Or Henry & Evan as the underdogs against the group of friends and maybe their Yale smarts finally coming into play on the Final Task? Otherwise, it's Cody & Jessica for the boring couple win. And maybe Jessica possibly losing the million for them after the comment she made last night with regards to Cody carrying most of the weight of the team.
-
IMHO the edit (since early on) has clearly foreshadowed the skiers winning the race.
-

Agree.
I've had such mixed feelings about Jody edgically, though.
The last couple of episode especially, they were highlighted in a really positive, fun light, with very positive second-person visibility, as everyone kept making comments on how strong of a team they are, or how Cody's killing it in all tasks.
However, it was twice or maybe even 3 times that we heard the quote "I don't wanna be the reason we lose this race" from Jess, and that is... as obvious of a foreshadowing as it can be, in my opinion.
Really reminded me of Hayley from S26, and how Blair would never listen to her, but when he finally did for a crucial task in the finale, Hayley was the reason they fell behind quite a lot, and basically cost their team the million.
I would sure hate to see Jess be the reason they lose, and like I said, at first I thought that these last two episodes were setting them up as real winner contenders, but there's just overwhelmingly nothing negative to pinpoint in the girls' edit, that it makes me think they definitely win.
-
I just hope it's not Big Brother that wins, Jessica is just too insufferable
-
The edit has certainly never been a sure thing, most especially in recent seasons.
I definitely think Hayley was the most direct foreshadowing. And this time, Jessica's not wanting to "be the reason we lose a million dollars" popping up this week so prominently is similar to Hayley's quotes before about always being right (which she actually was most of the time).
Conversely, Henry & Evan have always talked about their smarts being what helps them overcome any physical limitations compared to the other teams. Yet their Yale smarts have failed them pretty much every time they've needed it. It's possible their smarts finally come into play on the Final Task.
For Kristi & Jen, they could just as easily be in a Natalie & Meaghan situation. Dominant the entire Race, just comes up short in the final.

I guess this is as good a thread as any to ask this. I am embarrassed to admit that I can't remember or figure out what an ARI is. I know that RI is route info but I just can't figure out what the A is. Does anyone want to help me out?

This may not be the right place to put this but....
Switchback leg 6: Prague Franz RB, Eliminated Flightime and Big Easy Season 15
Switchback leg 11 (as per spoilers): Mandarin food ordering DT, Basically Eliminated Kisha and Jen Season 14
Both these teams later returned for Unfinished Business. Could this mean next season is an Unfinished Business?? That's the hint I'm getting!

Haha, don't worry about it so much.
We call ARI an Active Route Info. It's basically a task, and not just a location for the next clue like a Route Info is.
For a Route Info, teams get directions. For an Active Route Info, everyone needs to complete a task to receive the next clue. :)
-
Thanks. That A really stumped me. Advanced? Automatic? Amazing? ...
-
I wonder if Jody announcing their engagement now instead of after the finale means they don't win. I mean, what bettertime to announce an engagement than after winning The Amazing Race right? Double good news hehe

Active Route Info. It's where you have a task to perform that isn't a detour or a roadblock in order to get your next clue (route info).

Which is Route Info that includes a task, not just a travel to somewhere sort of RI.

I don't agree. Last season, Brooke & Scott's edit (especially Brooke's) was overwhelmingly negative, but at least they got a very sharp, sudden up-turn in their edit the final two legs to at least not make their win feel so bad. Before them, I can grant you Dana & Matt's edit, but even theirs wasn't that bad, either. In fact, the worst edit for a winning team I've seen in recent seasons is either theirs or Laura & Tyler's.
My point? I think the edit can be indicative of the winner. Not always, but most of the time, yes, it is.
-
I feel like in S28, none of the F3 had an edit that screamed "winner".
But because of that, people started looking at whose edit made the most sense for a winner. And of course, nobody believed that Dana & Matt could win because of that.
In S26, Laura & Tyler's edit actually seemed the most positive to me, and I didn't have any doubt that they would win, especially heading into the finale. Jelani & Jenny were either completely INV or arguing with each other, and Hayley & Blair... well, they were the entertaining team that all casuals hated. :cmaslol Only looking back I realized that Luara & Tyler weren't as positive of racers as I thought they were, but out of their F3, I would still say their edit was most winner-like.
Last season, though, I thought that the edit clearly didn't favour Brooke & Scott, and Tara & Joey were the clear favorites to win edit-wise. However, I was a bit spoiled for the finale, and knew that Brooke & Scott likely left the final task first, so I can't judge without any bias.
So what do I make of this? I still feel like the final four teams besides Skiers all have those type of edits that qualify for the "whose win would make most sense?" category, but if the Skiers do make the final 3, then I definitely see them winning per their edit.

A=Active, meaning there is an activity involved which is not a detour or roadblock (nor just instructions to go to another location.)

Don't know why in the intro Kristi & Jen was shown along with Golden Gate Bridge in the bottom left when neither any references to San Francisco are shown in the intro.
What cap # are you referring to please? LINK?
This cap is what I referring to. Coincidence?

Well, other backgrounds are exaggerated in relative size and location too.

Well, there aren't very many iconic landmark red (international orange) suspension bridges that look like that.

IMHO the edit (since early on) has clearly foreshadowed the skiers winning the race.
Agree.
I've had such mixed feelings about Jody edgically, though.
The last couple of episode especially, they were highlighted in a really positive, fun light, with very positive second-person visibility, as everyone kept making comments on how strong of a team they are, or how Cody's killing it in all tasks.
However, it was twice or maybe even 3 times that we heard the quote "I don't wanna be the reason we lose this race" from Jess, and that is... as obvious of a foreshadowing as it can be, in my opinion.
Really reminded me of Hayley from S26, and how Blair would never listen to her, but when he finally did for a crucial task in the finale, Hayley was the reason they fell behind quite a lot, and basically cost their team the million.
I would sure hate to see Jess be the reason they lose, and like I said, at first I thought that these last two episodes were setting them up as real winner contenders, but there's just overwhelmingly nothing negative to pinpoint in the girls' edit, that it makes me think they definitely win.
I don't see any 'Jess causes Jody to lose' scenario at all. Weren't Jody running in third place towards the end of the spoilers ? I see a straight-forward easy win for the skiers.
Jody received a really good positive edit at first, right up to the manufactured Gnomegate and Phonegate 'improprieties'. They received no negative feedback/editing for properly Uturning the Strings. Since they recovered from their own Uturn, they are being edited positively again, probably right through the finale.
Have we been shown any negativity between Jess and Cody, like we have been shown for the other teams, even with Jody's terrible navigating 'skills' coming into play again and again ? I think that the TAR producers expected Jody to be their designated 'villain team' and they expected lots of infighting between them, and that never happened.

Actually, Cody's avoided having any negatively-edited moments, surprisingly, as I thought he'd be the one more liable to be edited that way. It's Jessica who's had her share of "villain" moments, albeit small ones, like screwing Alex and Brittany over in Prague, which led to Lucas & Brittany U-Turning them in Harare, and making her "karma" comment about Lucas losing the passport. So I think that if TPTB wanted them to be the villains, at least one of them has given them something with which to work.
Though if you read between the lines, the female half of the other F3 team has unintentionally given them even more than Jessica has.

I wonder if Jody announcing their engagement now instead of after the finale means they don't win. I mean, what bettertime to announce an engagement than after winning The Amazing Race right? Double good news hehe
They only announced their because someone sold it to TMZ and spilled the news first

The editing and the fact that Jen keeps hyping up the finale on social media makes me feel like Team Extreme won..

Same. I will be happy with any winner, but Team Extreme and Big Brother are my favorite.

well now Cody and Jess have been hyping up the finale a lot today so maybe they did win.. Not so sure anymore.. I am pretty confident in thinking Yale didn't win though..

REMINDER:
THERE IS NO FINAL 3 PLACEMENT ORDER INFO TO BE DISCUSSED OR REVEALED HERE.
YES, we are a spoiler board.
But NO, RFF NEVER REVEALS THE FINAL 3 ORDER.
Having lived thru this before, we have made the decision that revealing that info prior to the FINALE itself is counterproductive and HURTS the show.
None of us wants to spoil the final outcome. We love dissecting everything spoiler-y EXCEPT that.
So if you think you know, take it elsewhere please. This is NOT open for discussion and will get you banned.
Thanks!

Alex and Conor may have well revived the fourth place curse (fan favorites ending up in fourth place)
-
Isn't that Survivor's curse? :cmaslol
Anyway, I don't think Indy were favored over Skiers by most fans.

Surely the fan favorites were the girls of Team Extreme?
Conor’s attitude the whole leg annoyed the crap out of me.
