Misti & James are probably one of the first teams to arrive at the pitstop because the first teams to depart from pitstop did that at around 4am. Misti & Jim were seen at the pitstop at 4:20ish pm on last day

So there are three flights to London that carried teams right? Which one carried which teams? I'm lost...

[theschnauzers]

Just a thought.

Bertram likes to have teams go to Olympic Stadiums or near them for either route markers or tasks; the Race hasn't been to the 2012 London Olympic Stadium yet....so consider that possibility since we now know teams are in London for the second leg.

I think the stadium is currently under construction and being converted to a football stadium.

Did we ask for more switchbacks at the CVWTS Thread?
Because if we did, I'm spec'ing that we will have sandcastles and watermelons for Virgin Islands and UK respectively.
Those are 2 of my favorite tasks of all time.

i thought switchback task meaning same task & same location. so there is no way we will see sandcastles task. Besides, it was season 22 (3 seasons ago). I think it's too close for switchback task (Hay bale was season 6 & 15 and pole vault was Season 12 & 21) 
If there is a switchback and they visit London, we might have watermelon task, which is one of my favorite roadblocks 

I know TAR22 & TAR25 are close to each other, and the sandcastle may have a small possibility of having a switchback now, but you'll never know.
Anyway, I'm fine if there's no sandcastle switchback. The likeliness of the watermelon switchback is very big.

London Paddington ‏@NetworkRailPAD 57 min

“@CassVinograd: These people just sprinted thru Paddington. Six cameras. @AmazingRace_CBS ? pic.twitter.com/2PHUbeI6it” without any permission!

Taxi rank at Paddington. Just got off the Heathrow Express, I presume!

[georgiapeach]

Y'all do know that the watermelon task was no where near London? It was in Eastnor Castle near Ledbury...

[Heliox]

Have Keith and Whitney been spotted in London? I know they were in airport after Caribbean.

I see Te/Tim in front of Adam/Bethany right?

[Maanca]

The UK again?! They were just there at the end of the last race

All of the contestants on "the amazing race" were on my plane ATL-LHR. I gave them my diamond fast track pass to get through immigration. Now they're in the lead but customs not too happy with me! http://instagram.com/p/ovdOmuvNH1/

--> Seems that Dennis & Isabella was in the lead from the airport.

I am shocked that there is something in the UK that gets passengers through customs quicker, but here it is:

Heathrow Airport concierge service
A friendly face waiting to guide you through the airport

Airport Concierge is a personal assistance service designed to ease your journey through Heathrow. The service is ideal for families, infrequent flyers, busy executives and visitors.
Heathrow departures service
An Airport Concierge Host will meet you kerbside or on the Heathrow Express platform
Assistance with your baggage at check-in.
Escort through security.
Escort to airline VIP lounge (if applicable) on to the boarding gate.
Heathrow arrivals service
An Airport Concierge Host will be waiting for you upon exit from the aircraft.
Escort through Border Control (Immigration and Customs).
Assistance with your luggage collection.
Escort to your onward mode of transportation

So Dennis and Isabella will have an escort through customs. Too bad that we wont see that as they are not allowed to film through most customs.

First flight from Atlanta (DL 84)
Tim & Te Jay
Brooke & Robbie
Bethany & Adam
Amy & Maya
Misti & Jim

Second flight from Atlanta (DL 10)
Isabella & Dennis
Shelley & Nici

Unknown:
Keith & Whitney
Kym & Allie
Michael & Scott

No sighting:
Lisa & Michelle

I think Keith & Whitney, Michael & Scott in the second flight because we see them together with Isabella & Dennis, Shelley & Nici in Atlanta.

Kym & Allie might be in first flight if they're in the same fight from St. Thomas with Misti & Jim, Brooke & Robbie, Amy & Maya

You catch trains to Oxford at Paddington, so it's back to the train station?
(Somehow I don't see them taking Stagecoach...)

[Maanca]

It is - blondes not spotted, appear to be our first boots in the Virgin Islands! 

omg noooo! They one blonde was so fierce.

To be honest, I'm kind of happy to see the blondes team go first after the ones in the last race were for the most part carried to the end.

[drackodelmal]

If I had to choose my team without knowing anything i would go with firefighters and prowrestlers.

Thanks for the info.

[Neobie]

Looks like we have most of Leg 2!

Start in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands
Fly via Atlanta to London
Heathrow Express to Paddington
Taxi to Victoria Tower Gardens
Detour involving pancake racing
Back to Paddington for a train to Oxford?
Punting, probably Roadblock?
Main Quad of Christ Church College, probably Pit Stop? (As a proud Cantabrigian, I admit it'd be beautiful!)

[cbacbacba1]

I have a feeling that they may come to Hong Kong this season at around leg 9-10 as the race seems to visit HK every 4 years 

I will probably go to the airport to see whether I can meet teams and (hopefully ) help them to race at mid-june

[Shelli]

Tom Tower can be pit stop too.

 Hi guys!  This is my first post here, although I've been here for much longer. I've been following rff since Season 23 and I absolutely love it here, you all do a great job!  Loving the teams for this season very much! I'm rooting for Survivor, Firefighters, Surfers, and Pro Wrestlers!
