Yes, we're talking about this possibility before but wonder about leg 4 and I show that the one in Leg 4 is Phil :D

Oh yeah... right... I guess thats when I would've get stuck at the challenge if I was the one racing xD

Whole pic here:

The season finale of THE AMAZING RACE will be broadcast Sunday, Dec. 8 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).  The final four Teams start in Tokyo where they’ll find themselves rolling through a human bowling competition and stripping down for a phone call at the bottom of a giant fish bowl. Ultimately, the final three Teams will sprint to the finish line in Alaska for the one million dollar prize. This season's edition is averaging 9.67 million viewers, 2.4/06 in adults 18-49 and 3.2/07 in adults 25-54.

 :funny:  this view of Human Bowling in Japan doesn't seem to match the press release pictures... 

BUT... this game may have the racers "rolling through a human bowling competition"... or not

We have our clue-giver  for Leg 11, the guy in the kimono near the teams.

What are they doing, anyway?
Whatever it is, I predict a F4 Intersection

Another Japanese Game show? :groan: Nothing can out-challenge Sushi Roulette! :) lol

I see more than two "machines" at that plaza/garden so an Intersection may not be possible. A noticeable piece is sticking out from the right edge of the pic.

Maybe they are just helping each other out. The "machine" at the very top has a guy working on it. It has been raised up. I thought it was Jason at first, but now I think it is Tim. The girls might be too short or not strong enough and might be helping each other out.

Given Japan's fascination with robots, they kinda look like one, particularly the one on the left which is standing up.  Not finding anything resembling them online yet.   :groan:

The guy in the top left looks like Leo. Notice the resemblance of the sideburns?

The giant "fishbowl" could be wordplay. When I think "fishbowl", I also think of an aquarium. In Tokyo, there is a Shinagawa Aquarium in the Shinagawa District. According to its English website, a 1F map diagram label states:

I would expect something to happen at the finish line, even if Marie doesn't win I'm expecting everything to be about how after everything that was said she still couldn't win.

Could you please clarify what you meant by possibly knowing who won't be winning?

If you look at the TAR 24 spoilers, it will make more sense.

Just did.  And you're right -- I now know who probably didn't win.  I don't mind -- the team wasn't one of my favorites anyway.  Too bad they'll get a second chance -- unless I come to like them the second time around.

Here's a spec, spec may be heavy:
 :spoiler:
Show content
F4 will include ER, Afghanimals, Jamy, Exes. Afghanimals are now racing in TAR24. Exes were invited back to TAR24 but Marie declined it. ER docs were eliminated in 4th? ??? Why can't I find it?

So my ultimate guess, after so many 2nd places, I think Jamy will win. :stare We'll see.
