I thought I saw another team in all black when JJ arrived too, running like headless chickens, but it could've been camera crew. This means only 1 team has been eliminated since Sri Lanka, we would think.

By the looks of the picture on the Pont Sant'Angelo, Caroline and Jennifer had already completed their Speed Bump? Or do they usually place the clue right before they make their way to the Route Marker?

Well it could mean Leg 5 and 6 in Sri Lanka.......5 an elimination and 6 a NEL........or Leg 6 could be somewhere else, but no mistake that previous leg was a NEL and C/J came in last.

So just to clarify, the boot order up until now is -

Leg 1 - 11th - NaNa
Leg 2 - 10th - Mark & Mallory
Leg 3 - 9th - Youtube (or NEL)
Leg 4 - NEL (or Youtube)
Leg 5 - 8th - Brenchel or Margie & Luke
Leg 6 - NEL (Caroline & Jen NEL)
Leg 7 - Rome - Unknown

So what I gather from this, is although Margie & Luke and Brenchel were the last 2 teams on what is to believed Leg 5 (Colombo), which ever one of the 2 wasn't eliminated got ahead of the Country Singers on Leg 6 for them to be NEL.

BUT what if there were 2 Elimination Legs in a row, Leg 5 and 6, Leg 6 being Colombo, which saw both Margie & Luke, and Brenchel eliminated, and then CaroJen came last on Leg 7, and Rome is actually Leg 8?

This is only based on the facts that there's been no sighting of either Margie & Luke or Brenchel for quite a while, and we did lose all the teams for a 2 days, a couple of days back.

Or maybe I'm toootally wrong!  *-:)  :funny:

Or maybe production put up a speed bump sign with C and J on it to throw us off.  :colors

That's what I would do if I was filming the race in such a public place. Maybe even throw in a few decoy teams.

But is that even possible? Can there be a ff after a NEL? What if the last team did the ff. Would they skip the speed bump?

I doubt a last place team that has a speed bump can even do the fastforward since they HAVE to do the speedbump.

This means that either brenchel or luigi got eliminated in the shri lanka leg and then there was another leg maybe in shri lanka where the Carolina's came in last but it was a NEL. Then we see them in the rome leg and we don't see brenchel or luigi. This means that there may be a Fastforward and maybe since they were all on the same flight brenchel got to it quicker and started it while the other teams said forget about it because they might finish it before us and we lose time.

Also keep in mind either brenchel or luigi may be lost and behind everyone else in the rome leg. Who knows.

Or another possibility is that both luigi and brenchel were eliminated in a new "double elimination" twist in shri lanka.

Just checked there and the only time the FF was on a Leg after a NEL was Season 22 Leg 7, so we could see a FF in Rome but I'm sooooo hoping there isn't one, because I really want to see Brenchel Eliminated  :groan:

25 Nov: Leg Six, Sri Lanka?
26 Nov: Rest
27 Nov: Leg Seven, Italy?
28 Nov: Leg Eight, Rome

How about this??? (Btw, same dates you have)
Leg 5 Colombo, Sri Lanka        Margie/Luke eliminated
Leg 6  Bangalore, India           Typical Indian FF.....Brenchel went for it and balked again,   
                                             came in last--Eliminated (Bangalore is really close to Sri Lanka and
                                             would be a short leg)
Leg 7   Italy?                         Caroline/Jenifer came in last, NEL
Leg 8   Rome                         Speedbump for C/J

Check again. The second leg in India in TAR20 also had a FF (switchback shaving head - Brenchel drama moment -) after a NEL (Mark & Bopper doing the tiger painting SB).

So it did! My bad!  :funny:
So that's 2 FF after NEL's, so I guess this Leg could fine well have FF.   :groan:

Yes, it could happen. We're making specs, so any thing is possible.  :)

if Brenchel got speed bump & uturn it's a dead end for them, i remember vaguely that Mona & Beth survived both, whilst Nicky & Kim don't.
but that only because Joey & Meghan sucks
it's always a double u-turn lately, is it? when was the last time we have a single u-turn?

still no absolute precise oh yeah that's definitely them sighting of Margie & Luke?
I'am now and forever post-love

Hi johnny, I am trying to get my facts right by asking if anyone sighted Margie & Luke. And yes, I know the red coat is Jessica. I am trying to understand why DrRox commented that all teams except Brenchel are seen. Thanks.

Re Neobie

I don't think the pitstop was just after the spanish steps task because
1) The photos of the teams at the pitstop just started arriving in the last hour
2) Afghanimals & Globetrotters arrived at same time although Afghanimals left first (They could have lost their way though)
3) I would say both Afghanimals & Globetrotters seem safe from the screen-cap although Globetrotters left the task in last place (Other teams may have lost their way also or maybe there was another final team behind)
