Nice work on Louis and Mike. FWIW, Louie is 47 and Mike is 45.

Not so secretive detectives, I guess. Great job!!! At long last this thread has some alarm. 

[Plaidmoon]

I was just wondering if you & the other TAR detectives here had uncovered some reliable info that J/J were eliminated in Bariloche. I suppose they could've been. Who knows at this point. 

Could have been 

Don't know what production was thinking bringing a famous pair through the San Fran airport, thats what they get for being so clumsy. Now they went ahead and drew attention to themselves and now we know the Female/ Female AA were eliminated early as well  .

I agree, San Francisco airport was a bad choice. I haven't checked into it, but I'm fairly confident that there are flights from Mexico into Oakland and San Jose and those airports are smaller and less busy. There's still a good chance that J/J would have been recognized, but it would have been by fewer people and perhaps the picture taking could have been discouraged more effectively. Also, perhaps J/J could have taken a separate flight and that would have made it unlikely that we would have spotted rhe other eliminated teams.

the all thing i am wonder why sher holf that picture i thought you cant carry picture pretty akward

[mjriches2005]

I don't like labelling ANY team.  Let's use "short haired F/F team" instead of lesbians please.

Yes, its more appropriate that way.  Besides theres no proof indicating they're lesbians, just because they have short hair doesn't make them lesbian.

I saw this posted on AABB. It was from the same source HAPPY4LIFE that reported Jeff and Jordan and Catlin and Brent were on the flight from Miami to Chile together. Tonight they posted that Michael Naylor and Louis Stravato were on that flight as well. They know someone that has validated this flight information.

Well damn it I don't read the AABB forums  , anyway........

[Belle Book]

well if its the asain team...
then ES teams seem to be
jejo
Grandma and goddaughter
the pinks
The AA M/F team
and the asian team

So that means the we would have these 6 teams ase the teams that are still running and or are decoys
farther/daughter
Fart Boys
short haird femal team
Miss SC and boyfriend
Camo guys
can think of the other team....

Going to 5 diff cont. plus the diversity of what "could be" the final 6 teams. This is shaping up to be a good season IMO.

I hope not!  I like Asian Americans, and I want an all-female team to win, so my first choice would be the Asian all-female one.

I thought maybe ..........

First photo: Is the pink - african american our team?

Is it possible that the AA woman spotted in SanFran is the other half of the M/F AA team (the guy that was spotted in Mexico with Jordan/Jeff)...


This woman:

Absolutely!!

From puddins page 1 list:

Teams:

African-American Husband/Wife: Husband in dark red, wife in shirt with family photo

Sorry, I totally misunderstood Michaels post. I thought that pic was from SFO. Ignore me, I am seriously sleep deprived.

I don't think they are ever going to separate all the eliminated teams from ES. What they should have done was put ALL the eliminated teams on an obscure flight and hidden them ALL as best as possible. But I agree, they aren't trying anymore.

Its a HUGE catch 22. If RFF spoils it. Then CBS gets mad and the forum and blames the board for ruining the show and putting TAR in jep. for future seasons. But if they ruin it then its OK! and they will still blame someone else. Now CBS will blame all the ppl at the airport (fake qoutes, not a real statement)  "why were they there, whos at an airport so late. its not our fault ppl fly in the morning." thats whay they will say hahaha

It isn't even that entirely.

It is that RFF loves the race first and foremost. And even though we are a spoiler board, we feel a great responsibility to ensure that the finale occurs unmolested. As a spoiler board, we sometimes DO have info that we feel should NOT be shared ahead of time. The Portland finale site was an example of this. We knew the exact MAT location ahead of time and chose NOT to reveal that info until AFTER the finale had safely been filmed, so that the race could finish in safety, and out of respect to the show.

And yes, RFF has known all week that San Fran was the Finale City, but chose, just as we did in Portland, to not reveal that info before the finale had safely been filmed.

But now, thanks to production's own carelessness, the cat is out of the bag.

I just hope that SF doesn't turn into the zoo Portland did.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys find out the final locations ahead of time when they aren't even there yet? Is all the stuff (like the route marker flags) already set up?

Nope.

That's what I thought.

Plaidmoon2,
Of course there are direct or connecting flights from PVR to OAK or SJC. However, the only nonstop flights involving PVR to those 3 destinations go from PVR to SFO (see my recent post on this subject in the Tweets thread for details). There is a one-stop 3 hour 42 minute flight (+ 2 hours time zone differential), US621 PVR OAK 0811 1153, but the use of nonstop flights instead is a protection against being sighted in route.

[theschnauzers]

Clarify something for me, please. Is the airport being discussed for the arrival of the eliminated teams the one that is actually in Oakland that was used for the final three teams in TAR 2?

The point here is that taking a direct flight to Oakland International Airport (used both in AR2 and AR11) from Puerto Vallarta does not make as much sense as the nonstop one to San Francisco, which is where teams were actually spotted. There is the possibility that teams came into SFO and then went to OAK to fly somewhere else, but that is infinitesimally low in probability.

[DavidJunior]

i hope SF is just a stop over, cause i'm definitely not available to go searching today or tomorrow 

[slayton]

some realization that I got from Survivor Sucks:

"Chinky eyes" is not cool with me, Moo.

[jerseydude]

No. From my memory ( I saw a picture somewhere), the Asian Team is Vietnamese and shouldn't the Asian team be wearing Red??

[Kiwi Jay]

No. From my memory ( I saw a picture somewhere), the Asian Team is Vietnamese and shouldn't the Asian team be wearing Red??

There have been no photos of the asian team! I can't recall knowing they were Vietnamese and why do they need to be wearing red?

We don't know their ethnicity but we do know according to the contestants thread that they're supposed to be wearing red.

@ slayton: A more appropriate word please? I can't recall any word that would be better that the word you supposedly do not like... It's not Asian eyes because not all Asians have those kinds of eyes... So yeah, what word? And yeah, to add to it, I used the word and I'm a chinese myself.

Not all Asians have those eyes (like me  )
