How can CBS make the RFF Detectives job even harder?
« on: May 25, 2010, 07:26:18 PM »
so, first came the decoys, then the fake spoilers/websites, now the producers changed the bag tags from brightly colored numbers to regular black leather travel tags. It looks like they like to mess up with the greatest TAR spoiling team (RFF).

So, for the sake of some TAR talk:

If you were a TAR producer, what would be your strategy to confuse the RFF spoiling team?

I would film two seasons simultaneously with the possibility of one being full of decoys  :lol:

Hire some extras who can act like contestants and have them race around with a film crew who is not really filming at all, while the real contestants are racing.  That could really be confusing if the fake teams, crew, and the real teams/crew had the same envelopes, tags, ect no RFF detective would tell from the real and fakes.

I think if all you detectives would jump ship and work for them, they would gladly hire you all, however, I hope no amount of money would lure you all away!!! Your way to valuable here!!! :hugs:

That would not work at all. You guys would know the entire route and who wins the season before Phil says "Go."

I meant that they as racers would drive the producers crazy.

Chateau: Oh, Cairo! This is going to be exciting!
Producers: Wait, how did you know that?

So, about the rumors of production doing decoy runs as well...that begs the question

would the producers go as far as putting together a decoy cast?

It would be a good deal for those who made it to the last round of auditions but didn't get on the actual show. They'd get to run at least one fake leg to throw the detectives off (and then transmit them in ES as a separate series).

If they make it to the last round of auditons, but fail to make it on the show, they're still eligible to apply for the next season?

They need to hire about 10 people and get them to sign non disclosure agreements.  That would be their best beat.

and have them dress with the same color palette and have the same backpacks as the real racers. Imagine this scenario:

Witness1: "Yes, the girls in pink were both blond"
W2: "No, I saw a pink team but one was brunette and the other was Asian"
W3: "No, the pink team were two guys"

There are costs to hiring special decoys.  One reason why eliminated teams are used is that, basically, those teams would be doing nothing, and being later in filming, probably wouldn't make it to sequester before they would have to head to the final city.  So they're used as decoys.

But the problem is, you might follow the teams and it's really a danger for CBS. :lol: (However, if agreements were signed, deal!)

Make the decoyed teams make their confessionals in other places so that we might think that they survived a certain leg. Like for example, make Maria and Tiffany confess at the same area in Estonia and use this footage in an earlier leg. (Of course, make them look so tired, and not so pampered. :lol:)

Sorry for the self-destruct. :neener:
