You kind of freaked me out though when you said you were leaning towards one.  (:;)
It's my personal feeling. Doesn't mean it'll happen. I could be very wrong as mswood likes to frequently point out. :lol:

From Wikipedia:

Leg 11 (People's Republic of China → United States)

    * Flight: Beijing, People's Republic of China (Beijing Capital International Airport) to Maui, Hawaii (Kahului Airport)
    * Maui (Ma'alaea Bay) -  Detour (Jet or Dive)
    * Maui (Fleming Beach)
    * Maui (Peahi Farms) - Roadblock (Who's ready to relive it?)
    * Maui (Kahili Golf Course)  Pit Stop (Finish Line)

This leg's Detour was a choice between Jets or Waves. In Jets, teams had to get on a (personal watercraft) and ride around the water in search of one of thirty buoys. Under four of them they would find attached a clue. In Waves, teams had to get into a wetsuit and swim out 40m from the shore and retrieve one of thirty 'Amazing Race' envelopes each. When back at shore they would open the envelopes, four of them would contain a clue. If they did not find a clue they would have to swim back and forth until they find one. The Roadblock required one team member to relive the race. They would have to arrange surfboards displaying the roadblocks and detours of each leg of the race in order of completion in order to receive their next clue.

Additional task:

* At Fleming Beach, teams had to carry a (Hawaiian Luau) suspended on a piece of bamboo along the beach and trade it for their next clue.

-----------

Reliability?? Looks believable to me..

I just watched a video at Joker's that's on YouTube.  I have no idea how to post it here.  This is the name of it:

"The Amazing Race 14 - Surfboard Memory"

It's very revealing.  It's 3:43 and team is shown as in 1st place.  Team has 6 of the 11 and still no other team is there.  I do feel that something goes wrong as this team has only 5 more surfboards to complete task.

Went to CBS.com and the video is posted there as a newest video.  It's a featured video.

I'm feeling there will be a huge first in the winner circle tomorrow night. It will one of the following:

1. Your first female winners of the US TAR (Zab and Joe Jer will always be considered the first all-female winners to me)
2. Your first hearing impaired winner of US TAR. (of course, Adrian was the first!)
3. Your first Asian winners of US TAR. (again, this has already been done in TAR Asia :lol:)

I am leaning towards #1.
CI have a sick feeling about that too. The whole season long edit of those girls wanting to come in first and finally getting it at the last possible moment.

 :barf
The better analogy would be with Eric/Danielle, who never never won any legs of AR11 until the finale.

Are you sure it's still there? I can't find it.

Don't worry, CBS itself posted it. This is a preview that it does every once in a while.

Just here to visit.

Based on that, it could very well be Margie & Luke in a runaway with Jaime & Cara second and Tammy & Victor third. But you never know.

The video is Luke at the final task based on memory getting six of the 11 pictures on surfboards correctly and in their proper position. Jaime & Cara and Tammy & Victor are way behind in their cabs.

Would they really post that video if luke and Margie won the race?  :res:
My guess is he screws up badly and is overtaken by T/V. Which sucks, cos my favourite team always enters the final task in first place but never ever wins!!  (:;)

Could be a Ronald/Christina-TK/Rachel scenario??

We know that Luke can get frustrated fairly easily.  Maybe he does really well at the start as shown by the promo, but gets stuck finding the last one or two.

makz3d, I tried to locate your recommended video on YouTube without success. I suggest that you post the url of that video. You get that on the top line of your PC screen. It will start with:
http://www.youtube.com/
If you merely copy it into a RFF post, then it will be easy for all to access it. Thanks in advance for doing this.
