Topic: The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers

[FLFan]

SPECULATION!!

It sounds plausible, but Jaime/Cara could very well end up 4th. I mean, they may do well at the dance, but the locals they may have major issues with, per preview.

I considered that.  However, the clues imply that Jaime gets frustrated with the dancing judge not understanding her question.  Other than that, they should do well with a dance routine.  We already know from the Romania episode that most of the others lack the ability to learn a routine quickly and/or are handicapped with a lack of physical co-ordination.  Of course, the dance activity may be a detour and the others do something else.

Or J/C could be soooo far behind at 4th, that the mat meltdown is over with before they arrive.

Ya, they can do well with the routine. But the taxis are an issue. I do feel that they're no way in danger, so I don't care much if they're 1st or 4th.

I say this to all speculating recently in this thread on the absolute positions of teams: "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" This was an important question im medieval times.

[DavidJunior]

i was just thinking:

a possibility for how T/V could get u-turned

M/L make it to the u-turn first, but can't do anything since they already used theirs

that leaves either K/J or C/J using it on T/V

i think K/J would much rather u-turn T/V than C/J, since they are a stronger team

and the same with C/J

[Zack.]

...or they could have bunching to start the second Beijing leg (think the Russian sub last season or Umeda Sky Building in TAR 12). T/V fall behind due to fighting like in Romania (was there a reason for the flashback to ep.3 this past episode?) and are last. This could make the U-Turn on Leg 10, since TPTB like putting at least one hindrance on an NEL most seasons, particularly at F4.

Just speculating:

Maybe Tammy & Victor will "do a Dallas"?

[jovian_w2002]

Hey! I think Tammy and Victor will be one of the last three teams out of China. If any of you don't know, Victor speaks really good Mandarin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onzlaL79NcI&feature=channel_page

This is just a speculation

Cheers!

[jovian_w2002]

Also, sorry for a second post, the possibility of a U-Turn in the next leg is great, seeing that M/M has a GREAT disadvantage should there not be one. Maybe C/J gets the U-turn and are the decoys?

Just in case you don't know Jovian, they pre-determine the U-turn.  And Cara and Jaime were seen on a flight to Hawaii with Margie and Luke.

Also, jovian_w2002, a U-Turn has an impact of about 30 minutes. Mark/Micahel need a much larger chunk of time.

Well as Shakespeare said......."Much ado about nothing." CBS played it way more than it actually was to me. I sat there tryingto figure out which poor, discriminted minority was whining the most.

TAR13 and TAR14 have had the same type Mother/Son team, but they are polar opposites to me. Both have missin, unknown fathers, but radically different approaches to parenting. Toni apparently taught Dallas how to play well with others. I don't remember hearing them whine or complain at all. I also don't remember them being deceitful one time. Margie/Luke are constantly using the poor pitiful us overcoming great discrimination and persecution because Luke is deaf and had been picked on his whole life. Luke walking away from the mat in a tantrum just cemented this to me. "I am just going to take my handicap and leave."

As to the Jen/Luke confrontation, just looked like a lot of that generation these days. Both assume they are entitled to "their" way and damned to anyone else.

[scruffs]

FINALLY! Bird's Nest Stadium!! And a swimming "Olympic" challenge!!

But poor Jen....   

karma karma karma for her

agreed - really not feeling pity for her here

same here,,,
they should not have laugh at Luke....
now Luke and Margie are gonna laugh at them.... 

LOL

[kwando1313]

Hi I'm new here.

I agree that karma strikes back for K/J. Also, I think that K/J were not laughing at Luke. She smiles everywhere. Yeah...

[DrRox]

Karma this and karma that. I guess many of you seem to forget that this all started in last episode when Margie/Luke told their taxi cab driver to LIE to Kisha/Jen's taxi driver.

[FLFan]

Hi I'm new here.

Karma is really ready to get back at Jen in EP10!  EP9 quite clearly shows Jen say that this far into the race she is getting competitive and something about "if she sees someone in front of her, she is going to knock them over".  Then later on, after the smackdowns, in reference to M/L, something "pissing them off more, cause I will laugh in their face".  Very unChristian attitude on Jen's part.  I know this is a race, but.....

Luke is not an angel in EP9 either.  He is clearly is ready for payback and gets out of control.  However, you can clearly see how mad he is at the mat.  His face is so red!   He has been a little whiny here and there, but he has certainly carried his weight in the tasks.

My reading of the action at the first clue box is that Jen lived up to her promise to "knock them over".  Luke leaned over the clue box to open it and Jen ran into him, then got upset when Luke tried to fend her off.

Getting off episode nine, which is now over, I found a few interesting tidbit from coolboy66 on Sucks:

My friend, Caryn Bland, she works at a airport in Hawaii.

She said she saw Kisha and Jen there a few months ago. I made her watch the show with me tonight and she said she recognized them.

So 4th place-Tammy/Victor??

Neobie, puddin, georgiapeach, make of it what you will.

[TARAsia Fan]

Again, doesn't mean a thing at this point. I do remember in an interview that Preston & Jennifer did saying he was joking with Kisha & Jen at Elimination Station about the time it took him to do the bungy jump. Now, Preston's memory could be sketchy on when that joking took place, but until I hear otherwise, I'm thinking Kisha & Jen are out next.

Don't all teams arrive at Hawaii too?  How on earth would the eliminated teams go to the finish line?  It's still vague until the penultimate episode gets aired.

maybe just running as decoys...

[littlewop]

I apologize if the answer is posted elsewhere, but I've been searching for awhile and can't find it. 
We had reports that Michael and Mark were spotted on a certain flight for this leg, I believe 11:00 PM.  After viewing last nights show was that spotting proven correct or a case of misidentification?
Kind of a newbie here, so I am still trying to determine how much faith to put into all these spottings, spoilers and speculations.
Thanks!

Hi littlewop!

It's like this, all teams actually went to Guilin and arrived there at night, there was another unaired task at the Folded Brocade Mountains (hours of operation) which completely makes up with what we see as an almost whole nighter trip to the salon. Mark and Michael are seen in Guangzhou meaning they were just going to the Guilin Airport and the city - Just a speculation though!

Preston never said that Jennifer or Kisha for that matter joked with him at the ES! All he said was that she laughed for weeks. Gosh ..............
There is no more ES! Mark and Michael did not go as we see on the Insider clips but we already knew that there fore Kisha and Jen never went to ES so that rumor should be squashed .....gosh!

Seeing as all teams flew threw Guangzhou I think the odds are good that it was indeed Mark and Michael. The time and date and description matches perfect.


Heres the Guangzhou China airport sighting on November 17th at 11pm

We were in the Guangzhou China airport November 17th around 11pm and saw a team of two caucasian men wearing backpacks running through the airport with a cameraman and producer in tow. They were in the baggage claim area and were in a hurry to find something and stopped at hte information desk to ask directions. The cameraman was working to capture every move. The men were both short and appeared to be related. One had a fanny pack that was visible with red/yellow/back horizontal stripes on it. We went up to them and said "Are you with the Amazing Race?". They said "No", but we are waiting for cast pictures to see if they were telling the truth or not.

--------------------
They were both rarther short (5 ft 5 or less my guess) with brownish red hair. They looked like they were related. I think at least one of them wore glasses. They were "thick" build but not fat. They were wearing shorts and tshirts and both had on back packs. They were very much in a hurry and looked stressed. There was a camera man that was filming their every move and a person carrying a microphone that was stuck in front of their faces as well. Hope that helps
-------------------
It very well could have been Mark and Michael.

The Kisha & Jen sighting could very well be legit, and I believe it is. But without more information, they could be decoys or really running. They are definitely NOT at ES, so it makes perfect sense to me.
