--- Quote from: stunami on January 23, 2021, 03:34:13 PM ---I'm a bit confused about WHEN the Gold Coast leg is going to happen, because base from live sighting it's the last leg before the finale, but it seems we have a lot of teams there (including a team that is not speculated to go far...)

Can you be more specific which teams, pls?
When would make the most sense that leg happen based on route logistic?
--- End quote ---
It would make sense to have it before, like around the others Queenland legs.
We know this Gold Coast leg has:
- Gold Coast Aquatic Centre (Sefa and Jessica are spotted there and they are speculated to leave early-ish)
- Mike Hatcher Race Track
- AquaLoop at Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast
- Surf rescue with the Gold Coast’s Volunteer Life Saving Service (More than one teams are seen here in the Preview)
It doesn't make sense to have this a the final 4 leg

From this new article:https://tvtonight.com.au/2021/01/new-rules-on-amazing-race-australia.html
These come on top of the regular Roadblock, Detour, U-Turn, Fast Forward & Intersection.
The winning team of a non-elimination leg, gain two massive advantages:
1. They do not have to compete in the next leg. Instead, they receive a First Class Pass and are rewarded with some kind of luxury experience while the other teams continue to race.
2. They will return to the Pit Stop for the arrivals of the final two teams and
choose to Salvage one and Sabotage the other.
Salvage: A bonus or advantage of some kind given to one team. For example, the team may receive a personal driver for the next leg, they may get extra money, or they may be allowed to know what the Roadblock challenge is, before they choose who attempts it.
Sabotage: A disadvantage or setback given to one team. For example, the team may need to complete the leg with one of the team members blindfolded or tied together, they may lose all their money, or they may even have to do it barefoot.
T-Junction: A huge challenge day, only once in the Race, where all racers are split into two massive super-teams. The super-teams will be chosen by the first racers to reach the T-Junction board at the head of the episode. They will pick their super-team and the remaining teams form the second group. The teams will move through the entire race day in these two groups. Whichever group checks in second at the Pit Stop, will choose to eliminate a team from their group themselves.
I guess we now know why we had a 'Salvage team'.
BUT NOW, I think our WINTON leg 2 is actually our leg 3!!! (We know the twins are out first, before Winton, and now we know that the leg before WINTON was a Non-Elimination leg)
ALSO: This explains why Anurag/Jasikrat pictures were not there: They won that first NEL leg!!
OR, This really is leg 2, the first leg was NEL, and Alex/Jack won that leg. It seems in that video of all the team with the buckets that there is a large space between the last two buckets, and that maybe one bucket was missing because a Team was using it....
So maybe Alex/Jack are not out first after all.
georgiapeach:
WoW!!
AND THIS: T-Junction is a real game changer!
Gabby54:
So at this point it's possible that Alex and Jack survived the first leg and were able to skip the second as a result?
Would that make Shannon and Jude the first boot or were more teams than just them NOT spotted at the next distination?
Gabby54:
The first boots are actually likely Jude and Shannon.
With the new twists revealed, either the twin models or the Muslim team won the first leg and chose to salvage Holly and Dolor:

There's a bucket missing between the third to last and last bucket on the table. That must mean that either the twin models or the Muslim guys arrived there first and took it. The other one isn't competing in the leg.
We know through the social media tweet that Shannon and Jude are therefore likely the last team and eliminated.
Although I'm thrilled the twin models aren't out first it's also very sad, they seem like sweet ladies and it's never fun when the obvious first boot team in fact does go home first.
Amazing Race Australia is just honestly too physically hard I feel like. The out of shape females always go home early, the only exception being Lucy and Emilia (and they had well God looking out for them to say the least given the amount of luck they had in that race).
