The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers
Mrs Shrek:
I have been trying to find out more about the wooden backpacks they are using here
I haven't been able to find a really close match yet, but it seems that they are a traditional Swiss German Räf defined here as
"A frame for carrying objects on one’s back, with which one can balance cumbersome and heavy loads over the centre line of the body, thus making them easier to carry."
The picture on this page here has been removed, but I think the comment is referring to the same piece of apparatus
"The wooden backpack is also used for carrying the large cheeses down into the valley."
The closest image match I have been able to find is on ebay

Maybe as a possible task, teams have to swim and complete all eight Olympic races that Phelps won gold in.

That would be an Olympic-sized task -- and one that would leave teams gasping for air -- literally!

So really, I think it is a mis-hearing/understanding of Siberia.
But since you never know, I am working on follow up.

Just guessing here, but if they did want to stick to the Olympic-theme in this season, Serbia competed for the first time as an independant nation in the 2008 Olympics. That could explain why they would want to go there in this season in particular. Just speculating, though.
mjriches2005:
Since theres only eight out of nine countries listed (USA, Switzerland, Austria, Romania, Russia, India, Thailand, and China) so the only thing that's missing is the last country since Siberia is technically a region in the Asian part of Russia. The only countries that would fit the missing locale would be either Germany part of the Salzburg-Romania leg but doubt it since Salzburg has an airport with connections to Germany. Liechtenstein between Switzerland and Austria count it as part of Leg 2 on the way to Salzburg. Also Phil being sighted in Delhi doesn't really mean Delhi will be visited again, he might be in transit to another city in India and the only places that haven't got any attention in India on the Amazing Race are Triviandrum (on the very southern tip of the India peninisula mainland), Hyderabad, and Bangalore. Also maybe the TAR producers and creators need some public input on what they should do for the next season (15) if it gets a greenlight despite the economic downturn. ;)

Someone over at SurvivorSucks pointed out that the woman in the Phuket picture could be Margie (the mom from the mother/son team). I'm leaning toward that as well. Look at the facial structure and the small pony tail. In the cab ride in the other pictures below, she is wearing her hair in the little pony tail and the chin and nose to me, match up. What do you guys think?
