Yes, joeyhort said there was, in fact, a footrace.  While he could still see them, the two teams were pretty close together, so it definitely might be one.

There was one for first, as well.

Hmmm... the iPad doesn't go on sale in the UK until 8am Friday 28 May UK time... Either he has bought one from the States or a very lucky person to have one 2 days before eveyone else in Europe!

Anyone know when the teams leave on the second leg?  Like, an hour or two from now?

Judging by the pitstop time (usually 12hrs) teams would already have left the pitstop or leaving it right now to travel towards their next destination.  Current time in Britain (around 5:30am Friday)

Exciting stuff! Hope to see pictures soon. I hope like heck the Father/son team are not the first ones eliminated.

And hey.. partner is flying to Frankfurt late Saturday night and there for 3 days.. gonna make him camp out at the airport, cuz if they are in Europe, they will be coming through that airport at some point!!
If there are any clues that they are in Germany, lemme know and I will get him on the trail!!

I don't trust him. A Roadblock and a detour in the first leg? No way.

Besides, tasks take a long time to complete.

Maybe he confused a detour task for a route marker task. U never know.

Hi Guys, I am amazed with job you do here. Great detectives.

If they ever come to Serbia, I hope they will some day, because there is a lot of things to see, you can count on me.

And next few months I will be many times in Frankfurt, so I can watch on airport and city.

just something that has been bugging me, doesn't the crew usually "harass" people that are taking pictures nearby the racers? Or maybe I'm just confused on this ???
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

OKay...So I look at the timeline thread and I see the latest location listed there is Stonehenge, does that mean that it is a hoax?

Wonderful job with Joey everyone!!! Thanks to the whole team who spotted him as a hoax early on, especially Neobie, Rich, Caelestor and all the rest of you who PM'd me with your concerns.  I am REALLY proud of you all!!

But sad that one of our own would go to such lengths to deceive us :( , and kinda sad at losing some of those locations  :lol:

As TexasLady said, we had him by afternoon yesterday, but were waiting for him to hang himself, as he did. Do y'all know how hard it was for me to stay quiet and not blast him to kingdom come??:lol3:


And a special HUGE :thankyou: to TexasLady who was left with the massive clean up today!! Not any fun for her, so y'all be nice and don't make her move anything else today!! Love you!! :kuss:



Can I ask why you didn't expose him as soon as you had it figured out??

I know that I personally wasted a lot of time refreshing his bogus twitter page, time which could have been spent looking for real information and/or sleeping.

Hey Joey (because I strongly suspect you're lurking), I dont believe for one minute that you were "hired to throw us off".  I'm thinking you're just a schmuck with nothing real to contribute.  So you  have to lie and make stuff up to help you feel important and included.  How pathetic you and your life must be.
And, on the small chance that you were "hired", you owe someone a refund, because you werent really that good. I'll admit that for the first few hours, getting caught up in the excitement, we fell for your crap. But you are not nearly as smart as most of the people here, and  they saw through you pretty quickly.  So, not only are you a pathetic schmuck, you're stupid as well.
Many kudos to the smart ones.  You are what makes this forum so successful! Let us hope that we got all of the idiots and jackasses out of the way in the first leg!

Sorry but this is becoming an issue here.  Many people here, especially me is getting pretty tired of hearing about this hoax deal.  Can we just move on and deal with it later.

Everything else joeyhort said about Salisbury Cathedral and the Fort at Old Sarum was apparently a hoax. (Either that or when he went back the next day, production threatened him into recanting.)
