Hi guys!
Dan from Sydney, Australia here. Long time reader, n00b poster.
Anyway I read on another forum where somebody posted an in-depth article on the first leg from TV Guide and here's some quotes:
"Nearly all the teams have arrived at a restaurant high atop a hill in Quito for an overnight break" - first leg bunching like season 6?
"Dave and Mary Conley--last seasons' Team Kentucky--arrive and everyone at the table gives them a big ovation. Exec producer Elise Doganieri steps over to ask what they'll do when the final teams show up." - not last to bunching but pretty close (they are a pretty slow team lol)
"And there's still at least an hour to go in a four-hour trip to a ranch where they'll face their next challenge--find three military medals hidden on a giant hill or rope a wild horse and trim its hooves." - DETOUR!
"Gasping for air thanks to the 13,000-foot altitude, the teams begin to arrive at the ranch. Dave runs ahead of Mary, urging her to hurry, while she huffs and puffs her way along." - pitstop or detour place
"Nearby, Dustin and Kandice--last season's beauty queens--are celebrating Kandice's 25th birthday. Dustin hands over a chocolate bar she'd hidden in her backpack. It's an appropriate gift: She knows they'll need the sugar boost for what lies ahead." - so they're behind D/M
And that's as much as I can do haha.
Anyway, have fun watching!
