Well, actually we strongly suspect that Cara & Jamie make the Final 3 and that Tammy & Victor are on the same flight with them. LaKisha & Jen, Margie & Luke, Mark & Michael and Mel & Mike are the ones who I'm not sure about.

As you all know, RFF first brought you the info about C/J on the flight from Beijing on towards Hawaii.
Here is the rest of the story.
While we have had this information since well before the show aired, I personally felt that it wouldn't be fair to the first teams that would be eliminated or to all the fans enjoying speculating on their favorites to release this info too soon. But after tonight we will have our final five, so I think it is finally okay to share this with you all.
===============================
Okay, presents! :hearts:
I have been fortunate enough to be in contact with someone who came across the race in Beijing, on the way to Tokyo. Thanks to an enormous amount of time and help from her, I am able to bring you a good bit of info. This would be the connecting flight Beijing>Tokyo>Hawaii.
This description has been edited by me in order to combine a series of email exchanges and in order to simplify the info, so any mistakes in the editing are mine. My inserts/edits have been italicized, the rest is in her words. Most of this comes in response to questions I posed.
We were flying on an Air China/ANA code share from Beijing to Tokyo on the 21st of November, flight later ID’d as CA925/NH5702 0930-1350.
All persons seen by her were confirmed by her matching photos.
At the terminal we discovered we had ended up on the same flight as the cheerleaders (Cara/Jaime) and the Mom/son (Margie/Luke). To the annoyance of the airline ground staff the film crew kept trying to jump ahead in line and was filming other passengers boarding the plane. I pray my exhausted scowl does not make national television. It would not be an attractive moment to have aired.
Once we got on the plane, one sound man in particular seemed keen on climbing over seats to make sure he was involved.
Aside from the camera crew cutting in various lines and being a touch rude, I don't honestly remember much else aside from the fact that the cheerleaders were glad another team was fighting and said as much to the Mom/son team. I will say I was surprised at how open the crew was about needing to get certain shots like "the waiting for the plane door to close shot."
Those two teams split in a different direction once we left the plane in Tokyo as we went for our (personal info removed) flight and they went to Hawaii (overheard them saying) and they went onward.
We then came across Phil at the JAL transfer desk in Tokyo. He was actually traveling with Tammy/Victor and BVM. insert: They were ahead of us in line.
I do recall Victor was very nice to the crew and was trying to get the crew members window seats to sleep by to their next destination...Honolulu. They did film them at the counter if I recall.
I'm not sure if they were staying there or not as none of them mentioned anything beyond that.
this group which included Phil, BVM (see below), and Tammy/Victor had NOT been seen by her on her flight.
Phil didn't really interact with anyone besides an older man who I would assume was a producer of some sort. Photo confirmation that this was Bertram Van Munster—insert: And it definitely was Bertram Van Munster that was with them, he and Phil didn't really interact with anyone but each other.
The crew and such traveling with Phil/BVM/Tammy/Victor were considerably nicer than the ones on her flight and were discussing how they had been celebrating someone's birthday a few days prior and someone had accidentally ruined the surprise cake by letting the secret slip.
Once past the transfer desk we had to go downstairs to the Bus station to transfer to another Terminal where we again came across Phil and Tammy/Victor. We rode the bus with them to the other terminal and then lost them in the chaos that is Narita airport.
…
I asked if she was able to get a feel for who might be in the lead at that point, or if these could be decoys:
To be honest, none of the groups really seemed to be too excited or racing, so it would be hard to say as neither group we saw really seemed all that "race like."

This means quite a lot peach!
a) T/V are so far ahead (at least meeting up with Phil/BvM in Narita Airport to Hawaii), than C/J and Margie/Luke making them our Final 3??
SPECULATION:
T/V get so far ahead during the 11th leg in Beijing, thus leaving on the first flight (catch up with BvM and production flight or separate flight) meeting them in Narita Airport for JAL and off to Honolulu, would it be that most likely, they meet all of the teams in the flight?
b) T/V are sadly eliminated in Beijing China ( :'( x infinity - saddest and most heartbreaking elimination for us guys who root for them as the first Asian who wins the race! - Please don't let it be Hometown, in this case, Homecountry curse!)
c) Phil did mention before that sometimes they are actually together with racers, problem is, is T/V actually seen with Phil and BvM? If they were seen as one cluster, then we by all means, know that they would run as decoys already... :'( (Like Kelly/Christy last season) I'm kinda confused with these lines:

d) Could the last Beijing leg be actually a NEL? No other team was spotted there in Beijing Airport nor Tokyo (If there is another, wouldn't they be also filmed or noticed?) There were no sighting of other teams, and C/J talking to Margie/Luke about a team that is quarreling? - The final 5 does not have anyone quarrel way more than sibs T/V.
If this is really our final 3, by all means, yes way! :hearts:
Else: :'(
Peach, do you have her photos and and are you allowed post it here in RFF? :)
Belle Book:
Since now we know that Cara & Jamie, Margie & Luke and Tammy & Victor all made it past Phuket, that means that not all of the teams are decoys. I think Cara & Jamie and Margie & Luke are two of our Final 3 teams. The question is, are Tammy & Victor the other Final 3 team? Or do they fall short? Unfortunately, since they are seen not only with Phil but with the Executive Producer, I'm afraid they fall short and are eliminated somewhere in China. :'(

Re-read the post Mooyou, it is all there. :)
T/V are not far ahead, all three teams are in Tokyo airport.
And she was so sorry, but there are no pictures.
The decoy teams are traditionally teams 4 and 5, although there have been a few exceptions.
Speculate away... :waves:
