TAR12 timeline speculation
michael:
Oh I'm keeping up apskip, I just didn't think that an experienced poster like you would take that as strong evidence. Those things are always included in episode descriptions.
I do think it's possible for there to be a non-elimination on Sunday, just highly unlikely as they will most likely want to have one mor episode with four teams as opposed to two episodes with three teams because "The final three" is usually what the finale is known for. In past seasons when ever the final non elimination was during a F3 it was always a two hour finale.

I'm actually one of those who thinks Sunday will end in non-elimination. A F3 spread over two weeks would be boring (see TAR 4) and as Michael said, those are usually scheduled in two-hour blocks. Not to mention the Taipei sighting didn't indicate that R/C (probable 4th place team) were eliminated definitely. Plus, those descriptions can be innaccurate (we all remember TVGuide stating that this would be the 9th elimination point).
apskip:
If I remember correctly, Dustin and Kandice were eliminated before the penultimate leg in Barcelona. the 12th leg for AR10 was in Paris and the final leg a trip to the New York metropolitan area. That sounds like 2 weeks F3 to me.
EDITOR'S NOTE - I have double-checked and discovered that Paris and New York were both in leg 13, so AR10 was not a 2 week F3. The elimination of Dustin and Kandice was the end of leg 12.

Paris and New York were both in the final leg of TAR10 which aired over just one hour. My point is that judging from history I think they want to still have the drama of an elimination over the racer's heads.

Actually both season 1 and season 4 were down to the final three on episode 12 and both had non elimination rounds and leg 13th aired the next week.
Season 1: Episode 12 aired 12/05/2001
Season 1: Episode 13 aired 12/13/2001
Season 4: Episode 12 aired 08/14/2003
Season 4: Episode 13 aired 08/21/2003
Now of course season 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 Were all 2 episode blocks with a final three in both.
And season 6 was a two hour block with a final four in the first hour and a final 3 in the 2cd.
But were those schedule choices (air as a two hour segment compared to two single episodes) made before filming or afterwards.
Was it an editing choice by the producers are was it a request from CBS based on how it would best fit with CBS schedule?
Not saying that synopsis was accurate (they often are wrong), but it could be factual based on previous seasons.
