Archive > The Amazing Race 18 Spoilers and Speculation
A small plea to TAR-spotters around the world
RichInSydney:
Has anyone actually asked the producers or Phil about people like us who spoil the race? I know it would be a pain for crews who try to stop photos etc, but I think in the back of the producers minds, I think its a great compliment that us fans are so dedicated to the show that they would go so far out their way.
These days because so many of the teams are "semi-famous" anyway, us common people will never get a chance to go on the show. So for someone like Coutzy this would have been the closest anyone would come to being on the race without actually racing.
Also, the argument that it ruins the show for the rest doesn't stack up because for me personally I'm even more looking forward to watching the show seeing how close we were in our detective/spotting work.
Cocoa:
Peach has a quote from Phil talking about the detectives which can be seen in her signature. :tup:
graytex:
Peach and team LOVE the race as much as anyone can love the race. They don't want to harm production. They keep a close watch on things and know when detectives are crossing the line.

The spoilers do not make me watch the show any less than I already do...I just like 2 know what's going on!

There is a part of me that wants to understand what actually happens during each Race....dating back to TAR Classic, before the days of live blogging, Facebook, and Twitter.
We were Zaprudering each episode after it aired and reconstructed where the teams went that leg and using our ingeniuty to find resources to help; and then the Racers would help confirm and correct what we found.
Many of the skills being used today originated in that era. I am grateful to the TAR community outside the US for joining in -- it may be an unintended side effect of this age of instantaneous international communications, with native speakers of English and speakers of English as a second language, but it is welcome, nonetheless.
I for one want y'all to help, but as those of us who have been involved with TAR as fans since its earliest days, I also want us to do this without interfering. Enthusiasm can go too far, unitentionally, so in joining in, please take a moment to think.
That's all I can ask for.
Again, thank you all for helping!
