And let's wait till the sun is up! I was good till I got all confused tonight!  :pull

yeah--somebody besides the other half of my brain give it a go tomorrow in the morning! :cmas10

puddin:
sorry to hi-jack your thread Kogs  :-[
So i was rewatching EP1 and thought it was interesting when Phil says "the first team to cross the finish line after 11 legs will win 1 million $$" the camara pans to the Blondes, then Donald/Nic, and last Rachel &TK  cheering & clapping , just thought it was interesting.

mswood:
Based on this,if Phil isn't lying (and if this is stated to the racers, he shouldn't be).  Then when we were told they got rid of the non eliminations, what they actually meant was they got ride of the TBC. 

Now either would work withthe aired footage of Jason saying that they might still be in it (even if last).  But with mat footage of them mentioning it, I think we can now assume that unless the speed bump is some form of Save (say a way to skip the Mat and progress to the next clue) then we have to assume that we have two non elims and no TBC.

puddin:
Damn it all to hell --cannot think outside the box! and they did drop 2 episodes the usual 13 is now 11. Now I must go read BVM interviews again  :cmas3

"The Amazing Race": The Emmy-winning reality show is not on the fall schedule and will return later. "The countries are very exotic," Littman says. "We're going to a couple of places that I don't even know where they are on the map. I've had to go look them up."

As for the teams? Lively.

"This is a tough group," Littman says. "They'll be younger. We still have a good balance."

The show will will do two fewer episdoes and drop the noneliminations to create more excitement.

Also adding to The Amazing Race 12's excitement level, according to van Munster, is the fact that the show has done away with non-elimination legs, a format change executive producer Jonathan Littman first revealed at the Television Critics Association summer press.

"The audience and ourselves, we're not crazy about non-eliminations," said van Munster.  "It's exciting to see people eliminated at the end of every episode."

Non-elimination legs have been part of The Amazing Race since the reality competition series first premiered in Fall 2001, and the show's fifth edition was the first in which teams were penalized for being the last to reach non-elimination Pit Stops.  Doing away with non-elimination legs means there will also be no more penalties, an aspect that van Munster said will also make The Amazing Race 12 more fast-paced.

The fact that a team will be eliminated at the end of every The Amazing Race 12 leg will also keep the contestants on their toes.
"For the contestants, the heat's on every step of the way," added van Munster.  "Every leg of the way the heat is on because they can be eliminated."
