Archive > The Amazing Race 18 Spoilers and Speculation

A small plea to TAR-spotters around the world

<< < (3/6) > >>

DrRox:
Spoiling the Sydney leg was very unique. RFF had about 20+ hours notice of the teams arrival and RFF had a member that was willing to completely change their plans and go to Sydney to get all the info. It rarely happens that way. Thanks again, Coutzy.

We were just lucky about the Broken Hill leg that the show is so popular in Australia that people knew what they were seeing, when they were seeing it.

The leg in Sydney was indeed amazing, but I don' t expect it to happen every single time. If we are lucky enough to find at least the next destination  I will be happy. Australia was the exception, if the Race came in Greece again, where I am,  I doubt that the people would recognise what it is much less report on it, as we haven't seen any season on TV.

I think i read about a post on one of our posters shouting out to Kynt and Vyxsin and Cara and Jaime. I think that's really cool IMO. If i get to spot any of the teams, i'll probably act as a fern and help them throughout the leg, maybe even offering money from my own account. :lol:

How many times in your life are you able to spot A LIVE AMAZING RACE? I would have taken my camera and film the entire process for all i care. My only suggestion is that you should not visit the spoiler threads if you don't want to be spoiled.. i mean, how can you complain about too much spoilers when you're actually visiting a spoiler thread?? :lol:

theschnauzers:
As we saw in season 11, or in the case of one certain team, season 7, TPTB have to expect that returning teams are going to be recognized on the street while filming in countries where TAR is broadcast. It is an element of the game of TAR that changes with returning teams, and merely leaving out the winning teams won't change that factor very much if at all.

A leg like the Sydney leg (or the start line near Boston in TAR 17) is very unusual; in fact, the last time before this may have been the final Portland leg in TAR 13, when the set-up and preparations in Portland were noticed a couple days in advance. So yes, it does happen, but it's almost random and rare and not something any of us can plan on.

Mug Costanza:
TAR17 was my first season following the spoilers here on RFF, and really what I've found is that the Detectives are really good, but they can't tell us how teams interact within themselves and with other teams, or (in some cases) what the tasks will be, etc. Basically, what I do is avoid the contestant spoiler thread almost entirely, except every once in a while to check if any new teams have been identified, check out the live sightings/destination spoiler threads for about the first week of the race or so, and then stop with the spoilers entirely. It's a cool feeling, knowing that RIGHT NOW, The Amazing Race is being run and filmed somewhere in the world, but I definitely don't want to know every single thing that happens.

Just do what everyone else has said so far. Proceed with caution. Know your limits and only check out the spoilers for what you're comfortable with knowing before the season airs. :tup:
