Re: The Amazing Race 14 Speculation and Sightings!

OK well, I was sent this on facebook,
take it for what it's worth ....

Quote
I have some information regarding TAR 14, but unfortunately the website won't send me an activation email, so I am passing this info on the only way possible for me at the moment.

One of my mothers friends saw several teams in Thailand and because she is a TAR fan, she recognized them straight away and began talking to them.

One of the teams was the father/son team

One was the young dating team in orange, one of whom was deaf.

The third team was a team of two male dwarfs (possibly the 'two short men')

She spoke with the deaf woman for a long time in the airport, and she whispered 'we're in a race' to her. The deaf woman also said to trip the dwarfs, they aren't nice people.

There were camera men with every team who were being very careful about people taking photos. In spite of this, she said she managed to get several good photos of the teams she saw.

I will send the photos when I can get my hands on them.

If this were true that would mean the F4 is: two short men, father/son, orange auburn couple, and a f/f team ....

I'm not buying it, but i wanted to post it anyways just in case lol.

I know we never saw the proof for this spoiler - but maybe what was seen was teams either on their way to sequesterville or on their way from sequesterville to Hawaii? They at least described the teams correctly back before we had much information.
From there to here, and here to there,
funny things are everywhere

No this is clearly a fake spoiler.

Coutzy says later that the date was a week or two ago, counting back from 11/28. Preston/Jenn were elim'd on 11/2, no way they were seen in mid Nov by anyone.  Esp someone who "talked to them a long time" and says she was deaf! :groan:

Bogus through and through.

Thailand! That is a surprise! Didn't we have something that said Portugal? ???

Any racer sightings out of Koh Samui will need to be looked at w/ suspiscion, I guess~!
I don't recall anything about Portugal? and the sightings we have around Thailand, besides Coutzys fake spoiler, look legit as in race mode not decoys or whatever.

Yes, all of our sightings except for the fake one have been in Bangkok or Phuket, so all legitimate.

But if we were to get a sighting for KOH SAMUI, then we would have to look again.

fwiw I just sat through the Insider clips and Cara/Jamie Victor/Tammy Marge/Luke have an alliance and it looks like Michael & Mark are in that alliance as well.

Amanda & Kris were aligned with Preston & Jen who were also aligned with Mike & Mel

No one wants to be aligned with Linda and Steve because they are too slow

I'm not complaining a Cara/Jamie Victor/Tammy Marge/Luke alliance. But that's sad nobody wants Linda/Steve, cause underdogs always surprises us!!

That makes sense, as the three of their teams were all on the first airport shuttle together when they got to LAX.

and a mountain named Di-Tsai was also visited.

Anyway, it's actually called Die Cai Shan (叠彩山).

From wikipedia -

Quote
Leg 5 quote's - "They Did The Double On Us!"

Totally sounds like a Mark and Michael quote to me.

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/double

Quote
4. To replace an actor in the actor's absence or in a certain scene.

Sounds like a stuntman term, since a stuntman.. is sometimes a double.. to help the actors/actresses perform dangerous stunts that they cannot do.. and Mark and Michael are highly to be the team using the term?

And they.. i'm speculating that they are refering to a team who look really alike each other?? Cara and Jaime?? :duno:

I found something!!!

Quote
知道23日下午接到旅行社的电话,并按要求在当天晚上7点半去到大宇饭店,才知道原来是要做T.A.R.节目制片组的PRODUCER ASSISTANT(P.A.)。那天晚上的JOB就是接机。

23日晚上11点40分左右终于到了两江机场。晚上的郊区真的好冷,而我只有身上的两件薄薄的衣服,明明冷得发抖还不得不死命装做还撑得住。终于在24号凌晨0点30分左右接到了我负责的PRODUCER,J.R..那天晚上回到住的地方已经是凌晨2点多了。

This girl was asked to be the PA of TAR!! She received the PRODUCER on the flight to Guilin on the 23rd, at 11.40pm!! I'm going to read the whole post and translate it!!

J.R.和SETH是ART DEPARTMENT的,下午回到饭店后,我和NORA就一直在帮忙做道具。确切点来说,NORA一整天都在做道具。后来J.R.说,道具要在晚上9点半前全部运到叠彩山顶并且摆好装饰好,然后我们四个,再加两个桂林方面负责道具的师傅,不得不放弃好好吃饭的想法,赶做道具。8点多的时候,道具还没全部完成,但是也要把完成的那部分运去山顶了。

ON 24TH - She helped this 2 production team workers J.R and Seth and another girl named Nora to make the props needed by the teams. Thus we now know that the teams haven't even arrive in Guilin China on 23rd. And she said the props needed to be done and prepared for the teams before 9.30pm. They weren't done even by 8pm, but the production teams still went on to place what they have done on Die Cai Shan (the mountain) anyway.

最后做完道具回到住的地方,已经是凌晨4点了。

6点再次出现在饭店。我真是超人,连续工作20个小时,WITH一个小时的睡眠。

去到OFFICE的时候发现有人比我更超人,SETH一个晚上都没睡。

25日THE SHOW正式开拍。而我又在风中度过AWFUL的大半天……


They finished the props at 4am on the 25th. And she ended stating that teams will be in Guilin on 25th November!! :jumpy:

So we got our dates wrong!!

There is something wrong. Teams and Phil DEFINITELY  flew out of Beijing on the 21st, and the race finished the next day on the 21st (International Dateline instant replay) as far as we know.

Is this perhaps the date posted, or are they for sure saying the date they did whatever? If so, may not be for TAR.....


Can you translate it for us :please:

Okay, she made the post on the 21st November. Which is WEIRD because how did she know what was going to happen in the next few days?

Unless there's something wrong with the blog dates.. OR.. producers told her to mix up the dates if she wants to blog about it so as to throw us off?

If she made the post on the 21st, that fits :jumpy: because we believe teams were in Guilin 18-20. So she is talking about something that already has happened? So that all fits...

Not sure why she has the other dates wrong? Are we losing something in translation? ???

Yes, the blogpost is indeed on the 21st and she recounted EVERYTHING she has done for the past few days, on her job working as a product assistant..

I think she deliberately edited and changed the dates.. because she isn't allowed to reveal the real time and date?

I'm saddened by the fact that no one wants to be aligned with Linda & Steve but I can see why.  As for the other alliances -- it's interesting that four of the presumed Final 5 teams are in an alliance.  I wonder if those four are the Final 4?

Thanks to Joab's excellent find:

Quote
On the 24th morning, she reached the hotel at 7.30am in the morning and started working. Because filming will begin on the next day, they have to finish all the preparation by today and ensure that nothing goes wrong. She talks about how the foreigners (production team) does not have the habit of taking an afternoon nap and some of them didn't even take their lunch. She worked for the entire day and only ate a few biscuits and felt awful.

 kept ourselves busy with making the props. J.R told us that the props must be done by 9.30pm and transported up Die Cai Shan to be prepared and put into place. Then the four of us (Seth, J.R and Nora), together with another 2 masters at making props from Guilin, had to give up the idea of eating a proper meal to rush out the props. At around 8pm, the props were still not done but they had to move them up to the mountain already.
We were able  to make contact but she was unable to tell us more:

Hello,

Looks like you guys are big fans of the show!

I'm not very good with dates; usually just remember which day of the week it is. Thinking back, I'm not very sure with the dates, sorry!

... we couldn't know exactly what the activities are.


My guess is that she added a week to the dates, perhaps just looked at a calendar in error?

Anyway, we can tie this in with Neobie's excellent detective work, hopefully he will add his nice summary here! :hearts:
