I think Chateau nailed it..The Goths, not seen with the other 3 teams, probably went for the Fast Forward and are now behind  :cmas4
I sure would love to know what the other detour option was (:;)

Great job Chateau on the field  :yess:. The turn-around point for TK was only a mile or so from the "vinci" field (kmz attached). Here is a database of Tuscan ultralight airfields; no matches for co-ordinates yet.

Clues
Episode Detail: This is Forever, Now - Amazing Race 12


*The five remaining teams continue on the seventh leg of the race.
*The teams encounter new challenges and opportunities in Italy,
*One Team faces a major setback when they lose their clue and their way in Italy. *.. and one team faces a setback when they lose both their clue and their way.

*The teams participate in a flag-twirling challenge, where one team falls apart and faces a "nightmarish" experience.
*One Team receives shocking news at the Pit Stop that they liken to a “three-headed serpent that at any moment can spring forward.”
*For the average traveler, a visit to Italy would likely be a magical experience, but for one particular team "nightmarish" might be a better description, when things suddenly stop going their way in the race.

Then they must drive to Vinci.  Kynt & Vyxsin get the Fast Forward has already been taken clue, and are last to Vinci.

*Kynt argues with Vyxsin, ordering her to "stop this car!"
*One of the race's strongest teams succumbs to the stress of sprinting around the globe
**The teams travel to Italy and stress takes a toll on one duo;
*Fatigue and stress cause one of the Race's strongest teams to breakdown when racing through Italy,
* while one usually cohesive Team melts down.

That's a good start.  It looks like the ROADBLOCK must come first.  Spot the clue from the air, (Vinci) tell the air marshal what you saw and he gives you the clue to proceed to Vinci, et.  DETOUR takes place in Vinci (1) flag waving and (2) no idea.

then back to Florence and the pit stop.

Meanwhile, grandpa and nick take the FF and go off and get tatooed (I want to see that) and beat everyone to the pit stop.  A great leap forward: last to first.

And it looks like the goths hit the wall and are philiminated! (Sorry, Michael)

I am willing to speculate that the reaction shot of Rachel when Tk lands is after his 2nd attempt, and he still hasn't found it.  Because thats a very stressed out/ disappointed/ I can't beleive he still hasn't found it look.

It would also help explain the large time difference between all three teams at the flags.

I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things - I miss my Gluehwein to keep my spirits up- and after tossing out the zillion or so catalogs that had accummulated during my hiatus, I had a chance to scan the TV Guides - that bible of television fact and fiction - for the next three weeks.  And I am puzzled.

In the descriptions for the next three eps of TAR:

Dec. 23 - ep 7 - Italy.  No mention of a team being eliminated.

Dec. 30 - ep 8 - Another team is eliminated.

Jan. 6 - ep 9 - The ninth team is eliminated!  (That leaves just two teams)

So if this is all gospel truth then it means:

Ep 7 - Italy - Five teams arrive, four teams leave

Ep 8 - India? - Four teams arrive, three teams leave

Ep 9 - ????? - Three teams arri ve, two teams leave.

Ep. 10 - ?????? - Two final teams race from Japan to Taiwan to Alaska

or if there is a Ep 11 as described in the beginning do the two teams continue to the final mat?

So that would make the finale on Jan. 20.

Maybe this has all been cleared up on another leg, but I'll leave it here just so you all can comment.

Or am I just being dense?

We're discussing it in media Gman. Pretty sure tvguide doesn't have their facts right, they are imagining what might happen in EP9 :xmas49

I wish we had a shot of TK & Rachel doing the detour, I wish we knew what the other detour option was, I wish we knew if losing the clue was critical and I wish I knew who loses the clue ..wish in one hand sh!t in the other    :cmas27
