I checked in again with our original source for the Accra spotting.

Before slowhatch ID'd the pic as Kaneshie market, I sent her the pic and asked for help with the ID..

She replied and clarified where the vans were and who her friend saw...

Quote
I believe the picture is in front of the Kaneshie market, that’s the biggest market in Accra, because that banner looks familiar. That angle is kind of hard because it even looks like the airport even. But Kaneshie would be my most educated guess. I no longer live there to run down the street and check. The main road down to that area is the Tema motorway, it also has another long name to it named after a former president. Most people just call it the motorway. We live off Achimota which goes down to the motorway. The airport is also near our house and you have to get onto Liberation ave. Our area is called Dzorwulu (pronounced Joe-a-loo).

I hope that helps.  But I don’t have solid stuff as to the actual events, just the vans. So, its probably lacking. Oh, I believe my friend said it was the father and daughter team that my friends saw running down the road. Kaneshie market is off that road.

I doubt they'll use it -- at least not this early!  It's probably just misdirection.  But Maria & Tiffany could've sure used it in their season, what with the tough Detour.

There's no streetview in Accra to compare the caps, but most coffin shops hang their shingles on Teshie Road near the beach, or in nearby Nungua. The pre-eminent shop Kane Kwei is in Teshie.

Idk if anybody else did but I saw the new full episode 2 promo with new caps and stuff. I'm not sure but one of the girls says the title, I think it was brook again (she said that in the promo)

So again..the commercial with the promo was on during survivor (time? Idk like in the middle of survivor. I guess...the commercial after the Immunity/Reward challenge but not sure)

Thanks, Peach. The first part is easy enough: they meet the tractor outside the main gate of Eastnor.
So they have to sell sunglasses; they have to sell a certain number or they have to sell to certain people?

They need peach and Mary to be giving some sunglasses away...interesting choice for an African task when the sunglass giveaway by them is so fondly remembered...

Thanks for the pic ID!!!

Anyone have time estimates as to how close Brook/claire and katie/Rachel checked in? Cause they are right there together now...

Three teams left the juggler pretty close together......1) Brooke/Claire, 2) Conner/Jonathan, 3) Katie/Rachel. You can see them all running across the field at the same time in the episode. Conner/Jonathon took a direct route and crossed the creek in deeper water. Brooke/Claire and Katie/Rachel went out of the way to find shallow water to cross. When Conner/Jonathon step on the mat, you can see Brooke in the distant background. I would say it was 2/3 minutes between B/C and K/R.

We don't - we only have a POSSIBLE sighting in Hong Kong - but it's not confirmed. That's why the timeline says "Status Unknown". :tup:

I believe it's misdirection as well. Thomas & Jill see the other teams trying to communicate and joke that they could always use the Express Pass. Thats how I think it'll go anyway.

This shot was taken between 12:30 and 1:30 pm (assumes May 28th).

(no body parts involved  :snicker:)

Maybe it was a nice long 24-hour pitstop

The teams have to sell sunglasses to the locals, little did they know how hard of a challenge that would turn out to be. Check out The Amazing Race Sundays at 8/7c on CBS!

Something tells me Nick and Vicki are not getting eliminated with leg, they are at the roadblock with everyone else as you can see. - And now we know the sunglasses are a roadblock. If I were to judge who's going this leg, I would say Andie and Jenna.
