Hey all, I was actually the one that wrote the www.thealbinobowler.com blog referenced earlier in the thread. My wife and I saw the Amazing Racers while at the Panda Breeding Center. When we saw them it was apparently down to the final 3: Ultra-Marathoners, Momshells, and the Best Mates; and they arrived, completed the challenge, and left in that order... with a substantial distance between the Ultra-Marathoners and the Best Mates (as in hours). Interestingly enough, they did not run the challenges in tandom (meaning all teams competing at the same time); each team waited for some time after the other one had completed. It'll be interesting to see how it looks on TV though, as I'm sure for dramatic effect it will look a lot faster paced, and closer than it was in reality.
We did get our hands on one of the clues from the game (and saw the clue box), but the camera I took the pictures with unfortunately got left on one of the planes we traveled on. :'( We tried to take our picutres in front of the clue box but were quickly shooed away and told we couldn't take pictures. I had to take the rest of the pictures covertly with my other camera... which is why they didn't turn out so well. The crew was quick to get in your face and tell you not to take pictures. Good thing I had a long zoom on the camera! The 'Mates' actually walked right by us on one of the bridges and I told them they needed to hurry up so they didn't lose. They totally ignored me though LOL I guess they had been trained to disregard all bystanders.
Here are some of the pictures we did manage to get with my other camera:
The Ultra-marathoners reading their clue
The Best Mates waiting around as the camera crew got set up. You can see the top of one of the 'mates' heads just above the camera (hair in a pony tail)
One of the Momshells carrying what looks to be a heavy load... not sure where the other one of the duo was
A guy that was with us checking out the clue. I swapped cameras and we posed with it also and took pictures of the clue itself and the next destination, but as I mentioned... those are gone forever now.
At any rate, if you're interested in seeing more pictures from China, feel free to check out the 2010 - China album http://www.danandholly.com/index.php/photo-albums/
Cheers!
