--- Quote from: racer on December 20, 2009, 01:52:04 AM ---I read on the contestant thread that the African American "pink" girls are one of the teams sent to ES. Is this true, or do you think that, like it was mentioned, the girl sighted at the airport was indeed a member of the AA M/F team.
I just want this clarified, because I was going to cheer for the "pink" team.

Does :cmas13 mean that you think it is them?
Oh well, let's go find another team to cheer on... :cmas28

--- Quote ---Sometimes 6th place out has gone to ES. Last # to ES may vary in 12 team seasons. But basically that is absolutely correct.

And then there are the classic days, where even the 5th place finishers headed to Sequesterville. That probably won't ever happen again!

--- Quote from: nmbeach on December 18, 2009, 10:03:59 PM ---I didn't expect Jeff & Jordan to make it very far in the race, but I'm not buying the picture of them in Mexico. Since they were recognized at the airport at the beginning of the race, I don't think they would let them out in public to watch a parade before the race is over. Something's just not right about that photo?

It actually makes perfect sense. Once teams are eliminated and are sent to the sequester location, they are allowed to participate in activities around the area that are part of culture, etc. That's what they are doing. There is extensive talk about this in some of the other threads.

Yeah, I agree. This is the proper way of doing things, regardless of that photograph. Despite the proof there, it is someone right to believe that they survived the entire race. That (also) being to assume nothing until it's made official. It could be seen as wishful thinking. Fair enough; otherwise, someone might choose to skip because they came to the agreement that J & J are out.
What's unfortunate is that J & J are pretty big stars. Not as epic as Rob & Amber, but big enough that I wished that TPTB had decided to do something different, with the likelihood that the BB fans would stop at nothing to learn the status of J & J (and then tweet about it before the show even finished taping). OTOH, had J & J finished 6th or higher, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal (esp now, with fewer things spoiled) as they would have likely been decoys that only would've best been disclosed right here. What a shame, because if any effort was made to keep things undisclosed, someone did a great job.

Do the 3 decoy teams have to do the feats with the 3 remaining teams to make it look real? :cmas5

They can. Answered in other thread by puddin.
puddin:
They can do final tasks as well, for instance Season 13 one of the decoy teams was extremely disappointed that they did not get a chance to do the Bridge of Gods challenge because of timing. Thats just one instance off the top of my head and yes they run decoys as well to throw off the spoilers/sightings. Sometimes they even use the sequestered teams.
I think I'm repeating myself .. :cmaslol its somewhere up thread.
heres a very good example of season 14 teams
