Amazing Race Questions
SuperTux:
It's interesting to notice that Phil presents all the voiceover of TAR while Jeff Probst doesn't do so for his Survivor. Actually I don't know yet who does that for Survivor... :lol:
theschnauzers:
Phil has been known to have to do overdubs for the voiceovers on a phone, in the middle of nowhere, if they're editing and have an audio problem to fix. Sometimes the planned standovers get overtaken by editing decisions, and it's easier for the editors to call Phil up and have Phil read the revision aloud over the telephone. (I remember Phil mentioning this in interviews over the years, so it has happened more than once.0 There is always going to be differences in audio quality due to differences in ambient sound, equipment used, and background noises (inside versus outside, for example.)
And this is usually how the editors handle Phil's voiceovers when they decide to take out route markers from the episode in editing.

Let's figure out the episodes where Phil's voiceover is taken over by an impostor, my contribution: Season 11 Leg 2, I'm listening to the opening voiceover cringing and thinking "that's not Phil, this is so wrong"

Just checked it out and it does sound like regular Phil!

I listened to EP2 and EP3 and I don't hear a difference. Are you talking about the "Previously on the Amazing Race" part or after the opening credits?

All the voiceovers in episode 2 are by a different person, though during the middle of the episode he almost manages to get the right accent

What are the exact details on decoys running the race? It happens with the top 6 teams I believe? and what exactly do the teams do when they run as decoys? Just follow and watch the other teams and be present at key points or perhaps random points to throw spoilers off? Do they ever actually perform any of the tasks?
I saw footage once of a decoy team running into a cab being filmed. I searched the last 10 pages of the thread and didn't see anything so I apologize if this was already addressed!

The only U.S. program that I'm aware of that has ever brought a suit of that sort was Mark Burnett's company over Survivor a cycle of two ago involving Russell Hantz.
This doesn't mean that there might not have been cease-and-desist letters from a show's lawyers, but we rarely heard about those.

America's Next Top Model had an issue with a contestant revealing herself on facebook. My boyfriend told me she posted a facebook status saying she was america's next top model. They then re-filmed the entire finale without her present and chose a different winner.
