I may wrong on this but usually the decoys go to some of the same clue box locations as the real racers.  The decoys just do it at different times than the real racers.  As in different by some hours. 

They all have to be at the finish mat for the run in!

Why do you all keep saying we only see two teams? ???

We know that 3 teams were at the chapel.

Luke,

I can't answer that question because I never got to be a decoy on the race so I have no idea how that works exactly. But with that check-in tag does raise a red flag though because on my entire time on race, my mom and I never checked our bags in. But, I remember few teams were forced to check their bags in on Season 7 during one of legs in Africa - Ron & Kelly and Uchenna & Joyce and Meredith & Gretchen(?). So, it might doesn't means that Globe Trotters are decoy. I wouldn't be surprised if Globe Trotters makes it to the Final Three since they're pretty athletic but again my mom and I U-turned an athletic team (Amanda & Kris) and got them eliminated so anything could happen.

Yes, the final 5 teams, known from Tallinn, became the final 3 teams after taking the minor leap that Harlem and Father/son were running decoy.

Hey Luke! I personally think that you and your mom are a lock if they do another all-stars

I havent been here for long but I'd definately have to say that this is prob the most spoiled season in recent years

13- We knew the final 6 and that Nickand Starr were in the finale

14- Saw Jamie and Cara in a Hawaii airport and teams were spotted in Thailand

Good Job!

I'm surprised no one were able to spoil the Final Three teams in Beijing at the Bird Nest!! Literally a million people were swarming around at the Bird Nest when my mom and I were running around frantically looking for a pit stop with our crew in tow!

But, it can be a heart-wrenching for teams' families + friends that could be reading this forum and see that some of their loved ones/friends didn't make it that far in the race. Before my mom and I left for the race, I told my sister about this forum where she can keeps track of my mom and me. She got so excited when she read that my mom and I were heading off to Switzerland then she got worried when she read that my mom and I weren't sighted in Romania then she got really excited to see a picture of my mom and me doing a rickshaw challenge in Phuket. She knew that ankle was me! Not some random girl! It basically gave it away for my sister that my mom and I made it to Final Five. Then, she was left wondering if my mom and I actually made it to Hawaii because there was no mention of my mom and me after Phuket so she assumed that we probably got eliminated in China due to language barrier. But, soon as my mom and I got back home after the race, my mom and I were very exhausted so at that point, she kind of figured it out that my mom and I made it to Final Three but we made her thinking that we got eliminated in China, haha.

haha thats great she went here. did she post? cause it took us a long time to figure out that picture and who exactly it was ex. m/m f/m f/f

but thanks for posting here! here a quick tip though: stay away from sucks. . you guys aren'y as loved there if you know what I mean

And, they got no lives as well. I love this forum and people, I have been coming on this site for a pretty long time but never made a post till my season's over! Wish I joined way earlier!

There is still something that I don't get. We only see the Father/son (with Pink Hair) team and the Basketball players in Las Vegas and they are suppose to be decoys right? (The tag on the backpack.) But where are the actual final 3 teams? Could the final location be somewhere else and these two teams were told to run around Las Vegas just to trick us to believe that the final mat is in Las Vegas??

I somehow think that they are not decoys. It would not be the first time that they are not allowed to carry their bags on the airplane when having to connect through different cities to reach their destination. (reason why the batch is so long).

At the same time, and given the way the spoiler season has been, it is strange that we dont read tweets about other racers than the ones in Vegas.

In my humble opinion, I think that the 3rd team got lost on the way "a la" team Guido style on 1st season.  :snicker:

But if there were on a domestic flight it cost 15-20 USD just to check in 1 bag! Would the teams actually choose to do that? And the missing 3rd team also creeps me out. They were all bunched up on a boat to Estonia and the possibility of falling so far behind is really impossible unless they messed up on their flight from Prague to USA? or did something like the gutsy grannies.
But sometimes, when you fly on very small planes, you are forced to check your carry-on luggage without an extra cost

But the tags will be different. I once recently went on an United Airlines Express Flight with this REALLY small airplane and they didn't put the long check-in tags on them. They put on small green cards which they tied to the handle.

This line of thinking does not take account of what is almost certain about the arrival of all teams in Las Vegas. You do not fly in there on a small plane unless you are coming from parts of Nevada and maybe eastern Califorrnia and northwest Arizona. The chances of any of those areas being the origination of the flight into Las Vegas for AR15 teams and decoys is zero.

Actually, I do have a preseason favorite!  ;D I'll say who it is after the cast announcement. And, I hope that someone will use a Blind U-Turn wisely! I think it's cool to have a Globe-Trotters team on the race but I would have try to get them out of the race soon as possible!

Isn't that kind of silly to have a "target" list of teams who you want to go out in order?

Hey Luke, so is it true that Jaime didn't even know spoiler sites existed until you told her about them during the Race?

I mentioned a few times about Reality Fan Forum during the race to Jaime and Cara but I'm not sure if Jaime actually doesn't know about spoiler sites before I first told her. I gave Jaime and Cara a link to this forum before we all left Hawaii. I know most of my cast lurked around on this forum during our season aired. I remember Victoria ran up to computer at the airport to check RFF out before we left Hawaii!! She went like, "OMG! A picture of Brad and me in Germany!!" So funny.

My own opinion:

In one leg,Maria and Tiff was suspected decoys,
was it possible that the team was last in a previous NEL?
Because I don't see bags with them,and it might be a little early to ditch the bags

No, it's not. They were being filmed by a local paper, which CBS would never allow had they still been in the race. It also fits with the timeline that they were eliminated at the end of the prior leg.
