We have been assuming that it was the cops, but perhaps it was instead Dan and Jordan. The latest cbs promo has Michael and Louie saying "will be eliminated" after the voice over says "Four teams, one..." Is this misdirection on CBS part? A local source said that Dan and Jordan were spotted coming out of customs 30 minutes ahead of the others. This doesn't make sense since the producers have always held everyone up in customs/immigration so that they start off evenly matched. Unless the team coming out far ahead of the others is a decoy team which has been sent out ahead.
Just speculation since it is not clear by the source which of the two male/male teams was actually seen coming in last at the Shanghai pit stop.
And what about the stamp task. Any idea where that fits?

Whoa G-man...let me see if I can clear up some misconceptions there.

No. The Cops were spotted in the airport clearly hanging around with production. They ARE our decoys.

I have recently discussed this very question with former final three racers. Apparently, NONE of them were ever held up on the final leg to start them evenly matched. I specifically asked about delays due to camera hold ups clearing customs or whatever...but according to the people I asked, there were no "bunching delays" at custons on the final leg. If your camera guys had trouble...too bad.

We have two totally separate sources who happened to both be at the Pitstop mat in Shanghai leg 2. Both of them have independently confirmed that Mike and Louie were eliminated there. We have photo/exif data supporting that as well.
There WAS initial confusion from one source as to which pair of brothers came in next to last...the Cowboys or the Brothers. That team was hatless, and was later positively identified as Dan and Jordan.

Not so far! :lol:
Slowhatch:
It could be postage stamps; another possibility is the name stamps called chops.

Seeing that Phil said that... "Oh, my gravy" and what he said about just when we think we have it all worked out... I'm guessing an unexpected team wins. Oh my, not Brent and Caite please! Geez.

Oh, my gravy is not part of Phil's quote. It's part of the TV Guide writers text.
