Thanks for the photos and all you do Macaroons  :cmas20


Steve Smith was a third-base coach for the Phillies?  I might like him -- I'm from the Philly area!

Wow -- Steve and Allie maybe in the final 5/4! That's awesome. I have to say....later seasons of Parent/Child teams have done much, much better than the parent/child teams pre season 12.

I was there when the Phillies won the series in '08. For anyone that lives in the area and is a fan of the show, this is really cool.

Random non-sequitur...could the frat brothers be the team Keep the Dream Alive 2.0?
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

I think we really need to avoid to "frat" label. It leads to all sorts of confusion, especially as the Race has cast two different teams that had a relationship of being fraternity brothers in college.

"Frats" is being used for teams some perceived as looking like a stereotype, and this has been done on more than one team in more than one other season in addition to the two Races where the label was factually accurate and appropriate. FWIW, "preppy" is just an accurate a label as to a stereotype appearance but without the TAR baggage.

The younger set of brothers this season -- we know that one of them is in a fraternity at Georgia Tech, but we don't know that is the case with the other brother.

Just my teo cents worth.

Here are the four teams that was on the United flight from Shanghai to San Francisco. The team that was more open and discuss about their advanture were Louis and Mike. The other 3 teams were really quiet and did not say much or had much interaction with other passengers on the flight. When the flight was approaching San Francisco, the lead team and their entourage were allowed to move to the front of the plane so they can exit immediately ahead of the other passengers and the other TAR teams. By the time i got to the custom area due to the large numbers of other passengers - the lead team was already gone through custom. They had approximately 25mins to 30mins lead ahead of the other teams. Since Louis and Mike have been referred to as the decoy (they were not filmed on the plane while the others were)... then i think i know who are the final 3 teams. I am not sure I am allowed to list their names here. Moderator - please advise.

I don't see why you couldn't release it. We have had the Final 3 known beforehand in several of the past seasons, so you should be fine. :tup:

The 30min lead was due to the custom hold up since they were allowed to exit the plane ahead of team 2 and team 3. By the time the remaining teams passed custom. The order of 2 and 3 have changed depends on which line they were in. So team 2, 3 and 4 were at most 3 to 5mins.
