For the RB the racers have to speed with the car and then brake suddenly at a certain point without overstepping a boundary. The blue thing was like a huge airbug.

Kiki,

What I saw and what has developed since does not in any way tell me it was an NEL. It was clearly listed on my telecast as  TBC. I understand that there are now nuances to TBCs, but none that can turn them into NELs. Now, please understand that by definition a ToBeContinued means that nobody is eliminated. We knew that when Phil appeared at the pit stop with no greeter. Is there a SpeedBump to be performed by the last place team (whoever that turns out to be between Andy/Tommy and Bill/Cathi on the leg 9 carry-over into the beginning of leg 10) later in leg 10? I say no, but if I am wrong then maybe your theory is correct.

I used the term NEL in general as in nobody is being eliminated. As for no greeter in the mat I disagree, I actually saw four, the whole musical quartet.
If I have to call this leg anything it would probably be KRL.

georgiapeach:
TBC. Or whatever our new name is.

I am not sure we can count that band as greeters...tricky. They were not alongside Phil, BUT one of them did do the "welcome to" bit.

Somehow I think the old rules have gone bye-bye. :lol:

apskip:
kiki,

You need to be careful with your terms. NEL has meant different things in past Amazing Races, but now it means a SpeedBump is given as a penalty to the NonEliminated last place team to be performed by only that team when it comes up in the next leg. It is not totally clear that there is no SpeedBump in leg 10, but I think it's quite unlikely. As I said, we'll see.

As to the greeter, that was not a greeter (there was nothing) with Phil behind the mat even though one of the 4 musicians in front of the mat did say something approximating "Welcome to Elisabeth Parc, Brussels" as Marcus and Amani arrived.
