I found a sighting with a picture from Miami yesterday or perhaps the day before:

Sophia Hogan ‏@sophiachogan
My dads been in Miami for less than a day and gave people from The Amazing Race a ride while filming the show and met Michael Oher..
5:23 PM Pacific Standard Time - 12 Feb 13

The couple my dad drove when they were in the middle of filming The Amazing Race😂😂 pic.twitter.com/8WIBrCJ7
5:40 PM Pacific Standard Time - 12 Feb 13




The guy in the picture is identical to the guy in back of the pickup in post #15 of this thread, so now we now he was one of the racers and not a camera crew guy. Also, that he's on a M/F team.

Michael Oher is an American football player and the subject of the movie The Blind Side a few years back. It's a good movie if you haven't seen it.

I gave a ride to the girl and the cameraman in the above picture last Thurs 7 Feb.  I took them from Montgomery Alabama to Dothan Alabama.  Her boyfriend was not with her, they had been seperated by the show at the time.  Her name is Julie and she lives on Corsica.  Both her and the cameraman were very nice and I'm glad to see she is still in the race.

And here's another tweet from Friday afternoon that includes an instagram picture I'm unable save and post here.

It's the black m/f team that Zouly posted a picture of in Reply #31 with the bald headed man. She says they are the winners, but the caption mentions a final mission the next day (today- Saturday the 16th). If someone can grab it and post it here, it would be a big help!

It's like peeling the layers from an onion. The more I look, the more I find, even from searches I've already done. Anyway, here's a few more tweets from the last few days (and one picture from yesterday):

All times are Pacific Standard Time for the West Coast of the USA.

If you never seen them before this year, it's normal, because they won the precedent edition.


They're  probably a guest team this year.

About this picture: http://instagram.com/p/VxvSgDQwCR/, are you sure they won the game or just a step ? It's very ambiguous.

Sorry if you have to misunderstand me, i'm french  :)

Bienvenue a RFF,clement!
 :bigwelcome

Is it usual to have the last winners run as a "guest" or decoy?

And no, the Miami team shown was just first in their host's wishes I think!

No, I think it's the first time they took an old team for a new race (unusual and weird). I think they did just 1 step as guests.

The miami team's called Linda (the girl) and Salim (the boy).


I don't the names of the others teams.

I think they're are married

Reflexion: Ludovic & Samuel (old winners) are probably ''Passagers Mystčres".
A ''passager mystčre'' is a person who handicapate a team when she was chosen by an eliminated team (arrived last). On every step, it is a different ''passager mystčre''.

The last year, it were french celebrities.
This year it won't be surprising that they chosen old candidates.

How can I explain you ?
The team who arrived in last postion at the step must give a ''passager mystčre" (handicap) to the team less loved by them.
And if it's a non-elimatory step, it is the team in the last position who gets the ''passager mystčre''.
It's only the ''passager mystčre'' who are able to pratice autostop and host-keeping.

Wait a minute... I found wikipedia's page of this edition of pekin express http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9kin_Express_9,_le_coffre_myst%C3%A8re
