We can make our own promos. Just study photos of places we know the race is going (or might pass through). Curepipe? Halong Bay, maybe? When the title sequence shows on Sunday, we can knock out the caps in short order. Any bets on a lemur replacing the langur and tiger from past seasons?

The starting line, from a TWOP interview -- looks like they start at the sundial at Gasworks.

FWIW, that TV Guide pic of Vipul/Arti is definitely from Seattle.

Great, Puddin!

Now we know that both team members must climb the wall -- we've seen Mary & David both doing it.

As for that pic of Sarah, one of the previews mentioned something about teams navigating their way thru the streets of Beijing (where they find the game's first twist). Maybe Sarah is performing this roadblock?

Gotcha -- I didn't catch the different shirt on Sarah. Here's the one pic from Kuwait that we thought might be Sarah... she has a blue shirt there. Maybe the pink shirt one is in Hanoi?

There's a part of the wall in Badaling (Juyongguan Pass) where we'd been looking with flags like in the Tom/David pic. No real hard & fast matches yet...

Sorry for the post frenzy all of a sudden -- do you think the new twist is that both team members have to perform the roadblocks? This would explain why Dustin & Kandice are BOTH performing the one in the pic earlier and/or why both team members are climbing the wall... just a thought.

'Race' stays right on pace
 
10th edition kicks off Sun.


If you don't want to root for a pair of cheerleaders, the male models, the gay couple or two inner-city single moms, you can root for the team of robed and bearded Muslims from Cleveland or Sarah Reinertsen, who has a metal leg.
Watching Reinertsen battle to climb her way up the Great Wall of China, a task that requires balance much more easily achieved with two regular legs, is one of those rare moments on "reality" shows that transcends its setup.
It makes the viewer want to stop and watch - not just because there's an image on a screen, but because you sense there's a lot more going on there than a TV moment.
Naturally, the producers and much of the audience expect and hope things will take an adversarial turn.
But meanwhile, many of the dramas are charmingly small, like blissful couples turning snippy when they can't agree on whether to get off the interstate and try to find an alternative route to the airport.
Because part of the competition involves physical challenges, like climbing up the wall, viewers will quickly figure that contestants who are younger and in better shape, like male models Tyler Denk and James Branaman, may have an advantage over, say, 52-year-old Duke Marcoccio or other entrants who look to be in less than Parris Island fighting shape.
But winning the race also requires luck, timing and even small bursts of thinking, among other built-in equalizers.
Marcoccio, for instance, doesn't flinch when one of the challenges in Beijing is to eat a plate of fish eyes.
That sort of yuck moment is mandatory in the "reality TV" biz. Still, the new "Amazing Race" rises above other shows in its sometimes dubious genre because its most interesting moments are the small human ones, not the ones manufactured for TV.

Didn't we note somewhere that the ROADBLOCK in Beijing delt with a horrible food challenge?  If so, this would be a twist since no previous TAR has had a roadblock in the first ep, and certainly not an awful food challenge which always comes later.
