I am a long time lurker and I must say you guys are AWESOME!!  Normally I have nothing to add when it comes to spoilers but I was on the Watch with Kristin website reading the thread about the Amazing Race and a woman on there said she knew someone that helped the contestants when they were in Guam I wrote her and asked for any info  and this is what she wrote back

"I'd be happy to share what I know with you, and you can pass it on if you want.
A friend of mine was selected to be a driver for the teams that came to the naval base. The Beauty Queens were the first to arrive at the base, and this is who my friend drove. I believe they were the first to finish here as well. I have no idea whether all the teams came to the naval base or if they had the choice to go to the air force base. From the previews for next week, I'm pretty sure that Eric & Danielle also came to the naval base, and the Charla & Mirna were at the Air Force Base. The challenge on the Naval base involved a run through a jungle, and a short helicopter ride, I think. The challenge at the Air Force base, is part of a toy drop that Guam participates in every December, where they fly donated toys to nearby islands. I really have no idea how any of them did overall here. Hope this helps a little! "

I don't know if this helps at all.  I am also going to write her back and see if she has any times.

mrspreacher, thanks, AND welcome to RFF! Everybody here is awesome and we have one of the greatest mods in the world (puddin)!

That is very interesting. Is anybody else beginning to think that the spoiler saying that Charla and Mirna had a huge lead might have been incorrect?

 :welcome: Hi MrsPreacher, thanks for sharing. I would guess, then, that the jungle walk is in the central or southern part of the island. It's a popular training program; I found this page (source) from an AF gallery about jungle training.

MrsPreacher!  :welcome2:

What wonderful information--thank you SO much for sharing! It has been hard to sort out exactly "who went where when" so this is a tremendous help and will give us lots to work on!  :thankyou:

Would your contact have only driven the BQ's while on the Naval Base? If responsible for them the whole time, is it possible she would have taken them here? This is a location puzzle for us!  Here is an email link you can send her (borrowed from puddin  ;)http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/22Apr0036.jpg

And will we see her on TV next week?

Thanks so much again! And no more lurking--please stay and play! :gj:

It looks like Dani is holding a Roadblock clue based upon the red part of the clue that you can barely make out in this vidcap.  So it looks like the search at the Navy base is the Roadblock.  That leaves the christmas drop and the vomit comet tasks.  Are those the Detour choices?

The girl I talked to is married to a man in the military.  They have been in Guam for three years.  Her friend is the one who drove the BQ's around.  I wrote and asked her if she could give me any information and be as specific as possible.  I will let ya'll know what she tells me.

What the hell is our Zanzibar boat--in the same category as the Mt, the xylophone, the Dolphin maybe.(it's Philpper!)

Okay--we have Charla, Oswald, and Dani for sure doing the Roadbock. What are they holding? A walkie talkie or a GPS?

Detour: teams in yellow have wet face masks and a big brush--cleaning a jet is probable. (Does Eric have a big moouthful of water in that one shot? :lol:)

Others: Christmas drop--we only see Ch/M--the other Detour?

Helicopter: I think this shot shows a military person guiding a team member out to the heli--
does only one person go? Does this have to do with the pallets we saw before dangling from the heli?


Is this Dustin??    Teletubbies?

Heh --but my people   wrote the book!   :lol3:

Sadly, it does look like no time this week either for Philpper--but "we'll always have Hawaii"! ;D

Who knew Boingo and I had a single track brain?? :lol3: very scary for Boingo, I'm sure!! now off to check on Antarctica... ;)

What's with the PRE-confessional? D/K say in the video of them in our mystery field that it is either win or go home---I've been thinking that was the Pitstop confessional all along but sounds like when there are four teams still...

And I guess with MrsPreachers info and apskip's flight info it is safe to discount foxburn's info now? A huge Ch/M lead doesn't seem in the cards...

puddin--have you tried to reach chevy again??

peach  a lot of the times the teams recall what happened in a leg, so that could be taken out of context, for example "We were really bitchy today because it's either win, or go home"

I think we should (temporarily) discount foxburn's info for now, until we can analyze the preview a little more, or here from MrsPreachers friend what time Dustin and Kandice were at the Road Block, which I am assuming comes first in this leg.

and the other screencap one with the pallet--or are they the same??

The exact quote from the BQ's Is "This is do or die for us--either you win or you go home."

It just sounded odd--either you win or you lose would suggest finale...if you win you all go home....
The other sounds like final 4 still to me which is why I asked. Up till I heard that I was totally convinced that all the in the "field of gold" shots were Pitstop confessionals--it just made me think.

Probably just thinking too much! :lol:

From earlier:
Quote
Okay I've been poking around both the naval base and the airforce base looking for anything to do with zero gravity flights.

The KC-135 Stratotanker is the plane used some years ago for zero-gravity flight training.
I eventually was able to place one of those at AAFB, but can find no mention of any zero-gravity training.  Wonder if this is just exaggeration? They might get to do some kind of jet flight but...
now i wonder if this refers to the helicopter and was just an exaggeration?

Patriotism could be any of them.
Feelings of sadness--I know many think it is Dani but I think it is Charla--I'll bet she is doubting her abilities to run after Mirna has put her down so much.
Go faster? Well I'd say Eric but he'll be on the ground --so Dustin?

Awesome work on contacting Mr. Weber, apskip! :happy:

And yay for previews! :wohoo:



The Chas leave the Guam airport at dawn, so there should be hours of operation in their first task... probably the one in AAFB. Although we don't really know how early chevy saw them doing something there.

And from apskip's flight info he posted long ago, would this be their flight itinerary?

Quote
...CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440...

If only there is a clearer shot of this one... Never mind... good find sups!  :happy: That should be the Asan Bay Overlook. Well one less trip for me later on.  ;D



eta: Forgot to add in a picture of the Guam airport. The facade is shaped like a latte stone, prominent in Chamorro culture. The one with the Chas has the message "We Support our Troops" in a banner across the hemispherical cap.

Good job you two!!  :jumpy:
I hate hours of operation  :knuckles: .. the Cha's should be behind the other teams at least an hour and a half from the time they leave the Taipa Macau pitstop. I guess thats why they were seen with Phil at the Ferry?

I zoomed in on it and It looks like a detour clue to me...Look at Mirna's pouch, is there a roadblock clue sticking out of it, or is that part of her shirt?
