Saw this posted on Facebook:

Nathan Antoun assisted the blue team of the Amazing Race in Penang on Monday.

It was posted on Wed at 7:20am

Would that fit the timeline?

YEs! YES! YES! It is perfect and the confirmation we have been needing for Penang!!  :cmas9

Thank you!!

Now don't y'all go jump on the poor guy...I'll do that, okay? :lol:

Found something on Facebook that has potential:

Just come back from sibu this evening.. I take 5 hours from Sibu to reach Bintulu... Amazing race?? Anyway, Congratulation to my good friend, King Deng for getting married.. A new life has just started...

(this person went to Sibu to attend a friend's wedding)  Sibu and Bintulu are on a Malaysian island, not too far from Singapore:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=sibu&daddr=Bintulu,+Sarawak,+Malaysia&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=3.156971,113.090515&sspn=60.669595,113.466797&ie=UTF8&ll=4.390229,109.379883&spn=31.412066,56.733398&z=5

I've noticed on Twitter and FB that sometimes when people's travels get convoluted or delayed or rushed, they laugh and compare it to Amazing Race.  So I'm not sure if that's what this person is doing (saying his travels took longer than usual), or perhaps he's saying that he saw something to do with TAR during his trip? 

Just thought I'd throw this out there...

Found another one on Facebook...  Could they be back in the States already?

 I think amazing race is filming at atlanta airport... How odd

Posted yesterday at 6:04pm  He appears to have posted this "real time" (based on other posts) before he got on his plane, so it appears that he saw something that he thought was TAR-related at about 6pm.  (don't know what time zone FB uses when it attaches a time to these posts)

Does the timing work out -- could they get from S'pore to Atlanta by yesterday?  Or could it be producers/crew getting set up for something?  How does that usually work?  Once they get back to the States do they ever do more than one leg, or is always just the final leg?

I think what that person saw at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport may have been a news crew covering the holiday travel season or some other story.  Plus where this person saw that is the other question.  Were they in the main lobby of the terminal building or past the security checkpoints in one of the concourses.  Plus Atlanta is having a rainy and windy day right now so I am pretty sure that the final leg of the race couldn't take place there.  Since all final destinations of the race each season took place on a clear or a decent day.  Lastly if 6:00pm is the correct time, how could the final three arrive in Atlanta it would be dark already and final destination legs take place during daylight hours.

I really doubt the weather will alter the final city selection.

I agree TARandJJFan, you all have been a wonderful addition to the TAR spoiling and we are grateful to all that contribute. I don't think Joab was saying that we don't appreciate you all. In addition to the BB fans we are coming off of TARLA and TAR15 plus many are viewing past seasons of TAR. I think South Africa is now watching TAR14 and Lord only knows what Countries are viewing what seasons just now so it all gets frustrating at times trying to sort out what TAR everyone is talking about.
Don't stop bringing us twitters! We are on the home stretch!  Keep it coming !! :yess: :jam:

better than the tweet today "I wonder what j/j are doing on the race."
"JEJO WERE PHOTOGRAPHED FILMING THE AMAZING RACE IN MEXICO"  :cmas50

Since JeJo were spoiled to be on the race, their fans have been posting loads of TAR related tweets which i think were really quite annoying and a hindrance to TAR spoiling. Sorry JeJo fan... but flipping through 10 pages of tweets to read only about JeJo being on the race, was really annoying.

Actually, all the tweets that I ever saw posted on here simply just had the words "Amazing Race" in them. Were the fans of Jeff & Jordan hoping they had something to do with Jeff & Jordan on TAR? I'm sure they were. But, all that extra help that those fans provided, IMO, helped a lot more than it hindered. A lot of those fans were trying to find posts that gave clues as to where the teams were too. I've been watching TAR ever since season 6. But, I also am a BB & Jeff and Jordan fan. I haven't spent any time at all searching for information.  But, there were a lot of people that spent hours searching through twitter & travel blogs in order to find out where teams were at. That's a lot of extra help from Jeff and Jordan fans that never would have been there. At this point the only other team that had been photographed during the course of the race that had been suspected as being eliminated were the G/G team. There just hasn't been any information about other teams. Had there been more, I'm sure that would have been discussed here, as well.

Yes i wasn't complaining about you! Thanks puddin for explaining! :cmas20

I don't think so, if that post was yesterday the race would have taken 20 days instead of 21-23 days.  I am pretty sure production wanted to have the final leg on a decent day.

I like the Atlanta clue.   :xmas49  

They may have arrived through Puerto Rico.  Take a look at this flight from San Juan:

It my be just a connection or it may have been the last leg.  I will see if it fits ...

And, I agree, stormy weather would never affect the route.  They just get wet.

Wait a minute, I am confused here?  Teams were in Singapore on the 16th and the Atlanta speculation from that one Facebook user was on the 17th.  How could they leave Singapore the day after and arrive in Atlanta on the same day.  If they flew from Singapore to Atlanta, they would have layovers in Tokyo and Los Angeles just to get there.  The Atlanta speculation is nothing more than a traveler that sees a film crew and thinks it the Amazing Race being filmed, but I do agree that decoys maybe there early.  So unless someone can lookup film permits for the City of Atlanta or the Atlanta Int'l Airport, this would be nothing more than someone speculating.

I meantioned this before but remember that the dateline means that you can arrive in the US from Asia/Oceania before you depart by a couple of hours in some cases.

EDIT: Singapore Airlines flights to LAX go via Tokyo, leaves 9:45am and arrives 11:25am the same day.

PCK - Phua Chu Kang
LKY - Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, his son is our Singapore's Prime Minister (Lee Hsien Loong)
The Prata Man - President of The Republic of Singapore, S R Nathan
There's also some speculation about meeting "PCK" or "LKY and familee" or "the prata man". I assume these are local celebrities and are pure speculation.

I saw this posted at Sucks and didn't see it posted here anywhere.  Sorry if I put this in a wrong place or something.



Yo guys! Today i spotted a couple of teams at San Francisco's Airport. Jeff & Jordan was there too! They exited from the arrival terminal from either flights Singapore, Taipei, A city/country started with M (forgotten how to spell :P) and Hong Kong? There appear to be like 5,6 teams with 2 camera crew, thats it. Here are some photos:

 
 
So, I'm guessing that the elimination station is at one of those location and those teams, including Jeff & Jordan, are eliminated.
Most likely it will be at Singapore since it has been confirmed visiting there and they exit the gate under a SQ flight from Singapore? Furthermore, there was 5 or 6 teams, saw a old couple (women), wearing green, african american women in pink, didn't notice the others. I think I saw a african american male.







There were also two pictures.  One of Jordeff.  But I don't know how to post pictures here.

So are they really coming to my home city?  :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess:

Unfortunately, I'm not old enough to drive to the airport. :groan:

Don't forget how DISASTROUS the previous Final leg hosted by San Fran **coughericanddaniellecough**

So is it safe to speculate right now that Singapore is not our penultimate leg? :D

That's because for the two finales that have hosted SF, teams arrive there 40 MINUTES INTO THE LEG and do some terrible final task. Fortunately, TAR has fixed that now  :jam:

I think Jordan cost Jeff the race!!! I watch BB 24.7 and I watch the feeds 24 hours aday. Jeff is usually close and all over Jordan. But in the picture in Mexico he was staring somewhere else and standing away from her. and here at the airport he isnt even close to her. Maybe something happened and she cost the race, or maybe there relationship halted. Jeff just doesnt seem to thrilled in thepast two pictures. just my .02 cents
