Combine that with the fact that NO T/V seen in the previews is it possible that CBS is trying to hoodwink us?
CBS does pay attention to these forums. In other forums during other shows, it has been highly speculated that CBS has indeed been following the posts. Since RFF is the BEST hands down when it comes to TAR, it would make sense that this is the forum they'd watch. Is it possible we were fed false info regarding the flight sightings in the last leg?
Something is up. How do T/V go from seconds out of first place to possibly the next eliminated? Something big must have happened. And if that were the case, why no preview, such as with K/J and the "water issues". You'd think they'd be promoting the heck out of it.
Just MHO and speculations! :res:

Why repeat a question that was already addressed in the speculation thread? and if you think you sound like a broken record then you should know better than to ask again.

Where is this written? Where do you read that T/V go from seconds out of first place to possibly the next eliminated? What leg are you talking about? this leg? next leg? last leg?

I think littlewop was referring to the fact that they were only a few seconds off first on the last leg, and now since we are not seeing anything of them in the previews, people have started speculating that they are going to be eliminated.

Or at least fall far back, as they weren't seen at all. They could still be in it and just weren't seen, but I don't know. Do you, puddin? I mean, you did outright say that Christie & Jodi would get booted in India, and that Phuket wasn't an NEL.

On the subject of the punishment for Non Eliminations. Originally there was none. Being last on a non elimination just meant you left last. Then it was a removal of cash for the next leg, where teams ended up begging in some very poor countries and that had no real impact on the race. Then it was stripping on money and possessions and again it had to real impact on the race.
Then they created the either you arrive first or get hit with a 30 minute penalty. That only impacted David & Mary who actually arrived in third (with Bama fourth) and were eliminated. Every other team that got eliminated arrived in last place and the penalty was not a factor.
Then we switched to the speed bump concept. Now in season 12 that helped to eliminated Kynt & Vyxsin (though the had the option of Yielded Jen & Nathan and that would have spared them).
Season 13 no one was eliminated due to the speedbump.
This season so far two teams have been eliminated and in each one it was clear in footage that each team could have made up the difference in the tasks.
So clearly they are designed that teams do have the option (if thy are fast) to stay alive.
And frankly I like it (and the last type the 30 minute penalty), I think you should have to prove that you deserve to still be in the race.

Well in general with this being the 10th out of 12 legs that we are assuming that this is the last non elimination (or by some odd chance the 1st part of a tbc leg).
Its been a while since they would have had an elimination on this leg and then have three teams running for the last two legs (though it has happened in earlier years, its just been a while).
And any team could go from first to worse. Only rarely has the show produced legs where their is no form of equalization at all (even if not all teams get equalized) I know the leg that Lorena & Jason got eliminated on was a completely linear leg with no points of equalization (and at the time that was only the 2nd leg in race history designed like that).
