Amazing Race Questions
wishicouldrun:
I remember reading someplace that the race travels with computers & printers so they can easily print out the clues on the fly. This would be important as weather or other natural or man-made disasters could alter the routes, tasks, etc.
What we see as the starting line is actually several takes made into the one experience we see on TV. After filming the excitement of meeting the blind date, but before the race takes off, TAR could easily take the pictures. Or, they could have been computer chopped - I didn't look closely but are the racers wearing their starting line clothes?
G.B.:
The Starting Line is actually about four times as long as you see it on TV. Past racers have reported that they film Phil's speech and the sprint to the first clue multiple times, just to get many different angles.
Besides the U-Turn pictures, remember that we also have official cast photos of the Blind Date teams and intro cinematics for them. There was definitely a long pause after they were filmed meeting each other.

I don't know if I should of asked this in the TAR26 thread, but since it was entitled spoilers I was afraid to venture over there. I had a question about the Fitbits being used this season. I did see a bunch of commercials for the product while viewing Wednesday nights episode, of course that is one reason they would be wearing them, simply product placement. But I wanted to know if they'll factor this into the race somehow? The way they did during this summers 2014 Big Brother. Or if there will be a place on the website (I didn't see it) where we can see how many steps they take during the day/night (depending on when they are racing)? And how does the whole process of charging them go? I thought you needed a computer to charge them, I'm sure production steps in for this but it seems like an unneeded added stress.
This questions seems super minuscule but it's not hard to miss the massive bands on everyone's wrist.

As far as I know, we have not heard anything about how these will be used. My guess is mostly product placement!
