The last leg before the finale will undoubtedly be somewhere from which they can get a direct flight to the states. Isn't it always?

That's been my assumption. If the finale is Detroit, then the number of places with direct flights to Detroit in the mid afternoon time frame is fairly limited. Africa, South America and the Caribbean is pretty much out of the question. Most likely from Amsterdam, Frankfurt or London though I haven't done an in depth search of European cities. Montreal and Toronto have several non stop flights. Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico have flights that fit too, but I don't think they would go to Mexico City again this soon. I'm not sure about the safety situation in Monterrey. There's also a direct flight from Amman, Jordan but that seems unlikely for several reasons.

I've actually taken that direct flight to Detroit.

Monterrey is perfectly safe. I'll be ready if you have any reason to believe they're coming. We have elections tomorrow and a World cup Match on Monday morning, so it could be interesting. Out of the main square, the rest of the city should be pretty quiet.

I am confused as to who is ahead and who is behind. There are so many accounts and it changes with each new post. Do we know if the cow was part of the detour or was it a Route Info? Is it possible Vic/Nic, Becca/Floyd did another part of the detour? Is it possible that as Nic/Vic googled Giethoorn, the other teams were headed to the cow?

I guess my point is, we don't actually know 100% whose on first...

I spoke to two people today.

The gentleman I spoke to that was at the cow raising location had pictures of Colin/Christie, Tyler/Korey, and Leo/Jamal.  He said he saw them all before he saw Nicole and Vic at the same location.  Nicole and Victor then googled Giethoorn on his phone and left in a hurry.  HE did not see Becca and Floyd at that location.

(Unrelated - there was a still image of Floyd and Becca at the cow raising location so they were there at one point.)

I then spoke to a fan that saw Nicole and Victor in Giethoorn around 3 pm Netherland time.  She said that they were approx 10-15 mins ahead of Becca and Floyd.

I googled myself and there is about 50 mins between Kampen and Giethoorn.

Thanks! That clears it up

So the order is

1. Tyler/Korey
2. Colin/Christie
3. Leo/Jamal
4. Victor/Nicole
5. Becca/Floyd

I think this was an elimination leg and considering there was quite a big gap between the first three teams and the last two, i assume either Victor/Nicole or Becca/Floyd got eliminated.

I haven't seen anything to rule out a leg 11 in Canada, as it could be run on Monday, the 2nd, and even a short pitstop into the final leg.(as TAR did one recent season in Japan).  And if in Canada, there are cities other than Toronto that could be d and get the teams to the border for a Tuesday finale leg on the 3rd. In other words, there is nothing dictating that leg 11 has to be in Europe, and there could be an extended pitstop, both to get production across the Atlantic ahead of the teams, and to facilitate two final legs with a short pitstop inbetween.

Leg 10 and 5 teams? No way it isn't an elimination unless they're pulling some crazy double-elimination twist in the semifinal.

If sequester is in the Netherlands and they are racing there now, wouldn’t it make sense for Leg 11 to also be in the Netherlands? Then all of the teams can take the same flight to the United States for the final leg.

Complete speculation:

We know Nicole and Victor were doing very well in Croatia and had quite a lead.  Could there have been a u-turn this leg and someone used it on them? That might account for the time difference on when they were spotted?  If they had been performing well, it would have made sense.  There was a Uturn at F5 on TAR28

Complete speculation. Maybe it was a double upturn on both teams, Team Fun and Vicole?

They wouldnt let eliminated teams be on the same flight as those still racing

Yeah I'm like 99% sure this was an elimination, and this upcoming leg is the last elimination before finale. So we are down top 4 teams as we speak. Gotta wait until morning local time for new sightings

In reply to sightings  #198 and #412 and #413 of Workzone

So I looked the description on the youtube video by Kampenonline…

The devil is in the details!  }:>

The Koeplein at the Nieuwe Toren is partially fenced off with fences. A team of cameramen, soundmen and security people are busy with the final preparations. The production assistant discusses with the producer of this TV hit. Then suddenly people come into action and there is the roar of tractors. Three tractors, each with a trailer with a plastic cow on it, come towards the Koeplein. Directly followed by the fighting teams. After the explanation of the rules, the cow should be lifted as quickly as possible, the go-ahead is given by our own city announcer Bertus Krabbe. The battle breaks loose, the cows are hoisted. And after all these days with preparations and the long wait for this Saturday morning, the teams have left on their tandems within a few minutes, followed by the cameramen. Direction Giethoorn, we have heard, where the next game part is waiting.

Thinking now the cow hoist was a detour, only 3 of the 5 teams did that.  Becca/Floyd, Vic/Nic did the other part of detour.  No U-Turn or double U-Turn. The pic where Floyd/Becca were seen in Kampen was not necessarily at the cow hoist as there were tables, etc and looked to me to be outside seating at a restaurant. I guess the next question is did the guy who took the pic's take pictures of the teams headed to the cow or after?  How much time had passed between the pics he took and the time Vic/Nic asked to use his phone? I know someone said there was 50 mins from Kampen to Giethoorn, but that doesn't mean there was 50 mins between the first 3 and the last 2.  The water task in Giethoorn is likely a Route Info since both team members were doing it. So wondering about the roadblock. When and where was that?

I’m not as familiar with the show. Is it possible the road block was before the detour?   🤷🏻‍♀️

Reply to #418

The gentleman was at the cow hoisting location.  He had pictures from all 3 teams at that location.  Nicole and Vic also used his phone at this location and then left.  If the detour locations were close enough together, I guess this could work. 

I was just saying that the traveling time between the two cities is 50 mins, not that it was any indication of teams.  I was just trying to help with the timeline of events.

Isn’t it possible Nicole/vic and Becca/Floyd started the first detour and couldn’t complete it so they moved on to a second option?  Doesn’t that happen all the time?  If that is the case it would put them well behind the other 3 teams.

Did the guy see Nic and Vic do the Cow Detour?  The two detours can definitely be close together. In the picture with Team fun near the tables with people sitting you can see the cow and a child looking up. That may be the time Nic and Vic were doing the detour?  But Floyd did not look in a hurry to get off his bike to do the detour. Maybe they had just finished the Cow detour and was getting ready to leave but who was lifting the cow the child was looking at?

I didn't ask specifically if he saw them do the cow detour so it is possible that they didn't.

The one photo of Floyd/Becca shows him standing inside the hay bales.  Is there another photo somewhere of him on a bike?

That is the only picture I have seen of Floyd/Becca today. The one where Floyd has on a helmet and Becca is bent down on the ground.

For some reason I thought he was on a bike. It does look like they are getting ready to lift the cow. The guy is hooking him up. The child is looking up. Probably at Nic and Vic’s cow. I can’t believe we are talking about lifting cows 😂. It does look like they are doing that detour. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I did not want to post this in live sightings in case it isn’t them but who else would be pulling an empty boat?  Is it possible this is Tyler and Korey, the camera guy in front? https://twitter.com/majamoora/status/1013136206031458306?s=21
