I think they're the same phones we see on TAR26 and 28 that only has the camera app on it for selfies (which I don't think have been released or really paid much attention too with the exception of that shot in Leg 2 where Becca & Floyd take a selfie with their taxi driver).

I think it's an IPhone, look at cap 18 with Mike holding it.

The photos are up as well. The way the captions are worded, I think the teams might spend the night on the Concordia.

The descriptions with what I assume is the leg design order: (no U-Turn pictures)

Quote
"Double U-Turn Ahead"--In this Road Block, Floyd must board the ATMosfera Tram Ristorante in Milan, Italy and search for three race markers along the route while eating a meal in order to receive the next clue on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

"Double U-Turn Ahead"--In this Route Marker, Matt (center) and Redmond (right) must take a taxi to the Navigation Lago di Como Marina and search for the steamship Concordia on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved

"Double U-Turn Ahead"-- In this Route Marker, Ashton (left) and Vanck (right) board the steamship Concordia. In the morning, the boat will dock at Varenna Marina where teams will be released on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved

"Double U-Turn Ahead"-- In Detour A, Ashton (right) wraps Vanck (left) in plaster-soaked gauze to create a ghost mold. Once the plaster dries, they must place the mold on a mannequin and have their work approved by a sculptor before receiving the next clue on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

"Double U-Turn Ahead"-- In Detour B, Brooke (left) and Scott (right) must climb to the top of a rock wall in order to receive the next clue on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved

"Double U-Turn Ahead"--Matt (left) and Redmond (right) take a Riva boat to Tremezzo and search along the shoreline of Lake Como for the Pit Stop on THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, April 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved

It definitely seems like teams get to Milan very early in the morning (why it's dark at some Roadblock pics), board the Concordia, do the Detour, face the U-Turn, and then go to the Pit Stop.

I think it's possible for the teams to be targeting Tara & Joey since they are running their own race and they got 2 1st-place finishes already, but they probably got ahead of everyone else so I guess it didn't matter? ???

I don't see smart player like Tara would use her own u-turn power considering this is only Leg 6
I am saying this could be from Matt & Redmoon

There are unlimited U-turn for teams this season (this has been confirmed on air and in Insider vids) so there's no reason *not* to use it.

Speaking of Insider vids, there's one from the double episode where Matt & Redmond anf Scott & Brooke discuss U-turning two of Vanck & Ashton, Mike & Liz or Tara & Joey as well as getting other teams on board. Make of this what you will :angel

I'm not sure how I feel about infinite U-Turn uses....depends on how or if it will impact the season for me.

Infinite u-turn... Hmmm... I don't feel well about this then...

It's like the strongest team can use whatever they want without limit....

I don't know what motive the crews are playing for, but my guess is for competitive purpose, but it's kinda odd choice, but let's wait and see...
what might have been

I think London has mentioned the blind u-turn doesn't count in her leg 3 review
I do not think we will have teams to enjoy unlimited u-turn power in any TAR US seasons

Hoping Tara & Joey don't ultimately use it.  2 uses feels too unfair to me,

Canada allows repeat U-Turns and I'm not crazy about it on there. Last season, both boards got used by the same 2 frontrunning teams

Relevant Insider vid (this also implies there are no limits for the U-Turn this season)

Whether it's a good idea or not (it's not *cough*TARCAN*cough*) is up for debate but it's definitely a rule this season.

Have they all had what appear to be working iPhones this season? Scott/Brooke and London/Logan have it as they're relaxing in the same clothes they wore in the previous leg and Mike has it as he bitches at Liz.

If so, methinks teams will have to use the convenient Travelocity mobile app (available for iPhone and Android devices  :angel) to (possibly figure out where they're going and) book flights to MXP - knowing production, they would force them to waste a bunch of time traveling just to fly out of Oslo (which fits the live sightings from that day).

 :bunny

eta - it occurs to me that that was a terrible advertisement for the Travelocity mobile app; on the day they flew out we found...four flights that went from AES to MXP, arriving hours before the one everyone was bunched on  :funny:
