Basically, its a quick summary of everything we have found so far (They even credit us for all the information.) It contains some pretty serious spoilers, so I wont post the actual article here.

I think that article is way off. First of all, gossip is useless chatter. 11 legs in 21 days, I thought there are 12 legs in this upcoming season. Also there isn't enough evidence in Los Angeles to support it as the final leg city. There has been no reports of the teams (decoys too) racing through the area that day and no filming permits like from the last two seasons has come up yet. I say Los Angeles is just a transit point to the real final city. Some of the production crew that were flying back to LA to go home were just done for their time and they could have switch crews for the final leg. Another reason why LA could not be the finish line is due to the NBA Final Rounds. There was a game on June 15 with the Lakers vs Celtics at the Staples Center that day.

Why would that stop them coming in on that day?
And keep in mind the race route and timings were most likely planned months before the NBA finals even started.

I agree that it should not have stopped them and even could have provided some cover. After all, game 6 of the NBA finals was on June 15 and game 7 on June 17. All the Laker and Celtics fans would have made it into the LA area by June 15. However, the schedule for the NBA finals was more or less determined months in advance by the NBA for each round from Eastern and Western Conference round 1 to conference round 2 to conference finals to NBA finals. My guess is that it preceded the final route for AR17.

I do not think it is worth much, but after they aired the last episode (EP4 S12) here in Sweden last Sunday there was a short announcement. There was a voice over during the credits which said something like "The upcoming season 17 which debuts in the states this fall will feature no less than 4 beauty queens".
I have never heard them even mention the fact that we are slightly behind the states in showing AR so this was most unusual. I would not be surprised if this was a local idea and that they got the data from these boards.
But if something similar has happened in other countries then it may be something which came through official channels.

Oh dear....since we did have to retract the 4 beauty queens thing. :'(

PS - no tweets between 5/18 and 6/21.

If either Andie or Jenna made that comment because she was recently in Ghana, then that means the team made it past England and weren't the first team eliminated. Good.
