SUNDAY, MAY 6

8:00-10:00 PM THE AMAZING RACE - After traveling five continents, 22 cities and nearly 40,000 miles, the series' 20th installment concludes in a special two-hour season finale as the final four Teams race through Japan and onto Honolulu where one Team will win the $1 million prize. Hosted by Phil Keoghan.

2 hour finale 

[paridy]

Final 4 teams do you think they will eliminate someone in Japan in the 1st hour and then the 3 go to Honolulu in the second hr like usual? 

[georgiapeach]

Yes, but the wording of that announcement leaves something to be desired.

[maxen]

I was thinking since the person who saw Dave and Rachel in Japan said they apparently were the last team to arrive and we know they are in the final 3, maybe the last 2 legs are going to be with the final 3 teams. But i know it's a crazy idea, maybe the 4th team just fell far behing a la Nick/Vicki.

[Prophet]

What if they do they old TAR style finale with a NEL in the middle?

I just hope that they continue the way, they have done the last two seasons. Final four one team eliminated, not final four and the last team there arrive get another chance, like they have done before!!!!

Episode 7 will be in Tanzania: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/amazing-race-20-2012/episode-7-season-20/amazing-race-20/339585

Amazing hope that it is a no-break/ continue leg there!!!!

[Detoured]

Final 4 teams do you think they will eliminate someone in Japan in the 1st hour and then the 3 go to Honolulu in the second hr like usual? 

The question is, how will they still have 4 teams left by May 6th?? Even with no show next week and another non-elimination leg somewhere in the next 4 shows, it would still go something like this...

Apr  1 : no show
Apr  8 : 6 teams race
Apr 15 : 5 teams race (non elim leg)
Apr 22 : 5 teams race
Apr 29 : 4 teams race
May  6 : 3 teams race, season finale

To have 4 teams left for the start of the May 6th show, there either has to be another night where the show doesn't air (in addition to Apr 1) plus 1 non-elim leg somewhere in the next 4 - OR - two of the next 4 legs would have to be non-elim legs.

[georgiapeach]

There will be two more NEL's to meet the limits. May 6th is a two hour two episode show, that's what is confusing you I think. The show airs all night but April 1.

The double show for the finale wasn't so confusing as was exactly how they would still have four teams in the running at the start of the finale night show.

It would seem to have to be two more NELs, but that struck me as excessive since that would make two of the four remaining legs before finale night NELs.  Is it normal to have NELs more frequently towards the end like that?

TAR 16 had 2 NELs in the last 4 legs before the penultimate leg

This is the TAR 20 TIMELINE thread. For TIMELINE issues. Not the old seasons discussion thread.

You can discuss the former seasons here:

I moved the conversation over there, very interesting!

[dpe]

Is there an accurate timeline somewhere?? I thought the first one used to be more complete.

The guy who started it is M.I.A., so you have to go to the episode where Georgiapeach makes them!!!!

[georgiapeach]

Sorry, we had some formatting issues that ATE the TimeLine so am waiting for Dom to have Internet again so we can update this again. He is heading back now so hopefully we will be back in business before the next show.

I did a little leg summary in post 3 of the legs 4 and 5 if that helps. Some was my spec though and I was def off on the order of the tasks!

[dpe]

If possible, could someone fix the timeline?

thanks

TBC=To Be confirmed, same idea.

It's a bit late in the game to argue terminology, but this is a battle worth fighting. TBC is not ToBeConfirmed. It is To Be Continued, which is a quite different concept. Let's be purists in our use of terminology so nobody should be confused.

working on it!! Try post 4 in the episode thread, have been doing what I can there.
