you think click on the "sportsbook" link. Then using the drop down menu click "entertainment".

The Apprentice and Survivor were up a while back.  Now Big Brother is there.

Hope this helps.

You can see that amber isn't hurt in the preview, her I CANT RUN, is because she is so exhuasted from the road block.
Near the end you see her fully running, without limping OR anything, she probably just gets so tired that rob carries her.

Thanks Puddin and Kraziladi for the links.  Those are both on-line sports books but they have different URLs than sportsbook.com.  Sportsbook.com is the web address associated with the spoiler, not bodog.com  or intertops.com.


Welcome floridagirl.  Watch out for that Puddin.  I hear she's posted so much that if you stacked up her posts, the stack would reach the moon. ]#*

Latest post from Prior Walter at TWOP.  Someone was questioning Prior Walter's source and this was his/her reply:

Just wanted to add to this: That is true, but I'm 99.9% sure I'm not getting duped here, and I received this information actually before Tuesday's show, because I was curious about it being a NEL, so therefore bugged my friend a little bit for some info. (It took 24 hours to register here, otherwise I would have posted it sooner.)

And if I weren't sure, I certainly wouldn't post it, I wouldn't be able to deal with the shame of being wrong. Haha.

My friend was adamant though, that Rob and Amber are far ahead in the end, so creative editing may make it seem closer than it is (apparently this has happened other seasons, but this is my first season watching). I'm also told that Ron actually ended his relationship with Kelly off-camera in the last leg, and Kelly all but gives up.

[puddin]

Thanks for the updates Ottopart ..have some popcorn I think I'll go enjoy the show with you  *%#

"TAR Spotted Filming Last Week"
My friends were in Jamaica on vacation last week and spotted TAR filming at a resort there. They saw three teams (at least one was a male/female couple -- not Rob & Amber ) do either a roadblock or a detour (involving hitting golf balls to a specified area). They said the third team was far behind the other two (like five hours). 

Something is fishy here.  If the team that is supposed to be Romber is running five hours behind, how in the world did Uchenna and Joyce get mugged in Jamaica and not Romber?

And if the Roadblock deals with hitting golf balls, I guess Amber will have to do it since Rob has used up his six roadblocks.  Too bad, since he is suposed to be good at golf.

[floridagirl]

I am already getting nervous about the final show!!!!  I really hope that ROMBER wins but if not UJ.

[Pedaler]

Hope everyone's having fun.  This is the last show for a while. }}{

Though I'd post a link to a map of Jamaica and identify potential areas of interest:
http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/jm/jmmap.shtml

Kingston Airport is at G15

I've seen three possible location for the raft poling location
Great River B4
Martha Brae River B7  (empties into sea at Falmouth)
Rio Grande E17  (my guess)

Port Antonio E18 (opening sequence)

Ocho Rios C12  (other sites ID this as jump roadblock)

One note about the golfing in Jamaica spoiler.  During TAR5, there was a New Zealand airport spoiler.  The spoiler listed 5 teams, the first team included a mysterious blonde.  Many thought the blonde was Mirna.  But there was no first team.  But the other four teams made it to the airport in the exact same order as the spoiler.  I'm bringing this up because maybe the third team, five hours behind, in the golf spoiler doesn't exist.  But the first two teams did.

[Traegen]

Pedaler that makes sense if the other half of the detour is the raft which we've only seen Rob and Amber on. My only concern is that both Rob and Amber like to golf so why wouldn't they take it.

My ideas for why Rob and Amber wouldn't do the golf detour:
1. It rafting is closer to the clue box
2. The specifics of the golf challenge leave it very much up to luck (I.E. hit a floating/moving target) or the number of times you must hit the target is high and therefore takes a while
3. R/K and U/J both take golf and Romber see the rafting as a way to get ahead.

[Pedaler]

3. R/K and U/J both take golf and Romber see the rafting as a way to get ahead.

Traegen,  That would be my guess.  R&A are in attack mode.  Amber has taken a lot of crap during the race but she didn't hestitate at all when Rob suggested taking the earlier flight to London when they weren't guaranteed a seat to London from Frankfurt.

In fact, I think she was more confident than Rob.

[Ottopart]

Going to add more of Prior Walter's comments from TWOP:

Okay, I understand all of that. Maybe I shouldn't have posted what I was told. I admit it was selfish, I was excited to have some inside info and really wanted to share what I'd learned. But, and I feel silly defending myself here, I didn't do it for "accolades" or to impress anyone. Is that the only reason people post spoilers?

Eh, maybe I shouldn't have posted. Sorry if I come across as "trolling" as someone said.

But I do want to respond to some of the speculation about the PR airport, and me saying that the race isn't close. I mentioned earlier that the PR airport is actually the first stop after the NEL, and all of the teams experience slome slight bunching there, hence the teams being spotted there at the same time. From there though, Rob and Amber establish a lead that the other teams aren't ever able to diminish.


This is a question by dummypants:

So are you saying the actual NEL happens in Puerto Rico and the next clue says for them to go to the PR airport? It just seems like the NEL would happen in Jamaica.


Prior Walter's response:

I'm not going to lie. I have no idea. I do know, that after the NEL and first pitstop, the next stop is the airport, and I was ASSUMING that those pictures are from then, and from what I've read through here, the airport there is in PR. I only know PR and Jamaica from reading this board, as I was told nothing about what cities they travel through. So the airport they go to after the NEL was pure specualtion on my part based on that picture and what I know from my source.


This was a question Jettrue asked of Prior Walter:

You say here that the first stop is "after" the NEL... are you saying there is another stop between London and Jamaica? or did you mean to say "Puerto Rico" is the first stop after the NEL leg... I was assuming that the NEL leg is IN Jamaica? Just wanting to clarify.... do you have any idea of the ending city?

Prior Walter's Response:

jettrue, no you're right, I just misstyped.
/b]

Another question by ABJ:
Prior Walter, as ABJ asked in an earlier post, do you know the final city? Also, who comes in 2nd?

Prior Walter's Response:

No clue what the final city is. In fact, cities I'm pretty unclear about, hence my confusion about the city that the airport is in after the NEL. I'm assuming its Puerto Rico, though. But I wasn't specifically told anything about task or cities, which I'm sure is just fuel to the fire of the skeptics.

I'm assuming Ron and Kelly come in second, as I was told specifically that U/J are far behind the other teams.

Regarding the potential golf challenge (roadblock)


The Three Palms Golf Course, nka Cinnamon Hill at the Wyndham Rose Hall Golf and Beach Resort, the course is  one the top courses in the world.  It has famouse 8th Hole, which doglegs onto a promontory Point the goes 200 yards out into the sea.  The 15th Hole is next to the waterfall that was featured in a James Bond movie. This in Montego Bay ,Jamaica.

Both of the above, would be a very good filming area to use.

My other theory would be Negril Hills Golf Course, someone said here earlier that the "Junte" cars are exclusive to that area of Jamaica.
Plus Negril is stated as away from the hussle-bussle.  Plus I think on one of those vid-caps the Little Bay Inn is shown which is also in Negril.

We all know Rob and Amber win this because CBS and TAR producers have rigged the competition for them to win.  By making the tasks easier this year for them, by having weak competition for them, and the ferns that so happen to magically appear for them when they are in trouble or when they want help.  This season of TAR was actually suppose to be one long promo commercial for their wedding.  I can't wait till someone spills the beans about the rigged competition so CBS and The Amazing Race can go down in flames.  Amazing Race used to be a good and pure show but now it has turned into trash, it is a shame CBS only cared about Rob/Amber and did not cared what happened to Amazing Race.   

[floridagirl]

How can an entire show be rigged for one team? Not seeing it!!!  As Rob has said all along there is an element of luck in this game.  Rob and Amber could have been eliminated at any time.  When Rob quit on the food task for example.  The fact that they are competing has brought many viewers to the show!  I fore one began watching TAR this season because I liked Rob and Amber on Survivor.  I will continue to watch now because it is a GREAT SHOW.

Go ROMBER

[Texan]

I do not think the tasks were changed because of R/A I think they were changed because of the way some people preformed them in the past.  Liekt he bowlign moms getting to final 4 only to not be able to climb the mountain.  I think it was to even up the fields for everyone.

And there is alot of luck on this show, which detour you take and how you do it.  Also other contestants in the past have had help in their tasks by the locals.  If they could not get help they could not take the money from the people at the elimination rounds.

Also they changed the rule on how many roadblocks a person can do because a past winner won because the strong man did all the roadblocks.

And like Floridagirl said people have been watching due to Rob and Amber that have never watched it.  Also you would not have had some of the drama from the other teams if it was nto rob and amber.  ANd I do think if it was another strong male/female or male/male team at the top right now that got lucky ~ people would b!tch about that too.

yes rob and Amber have been on reality tv and AMber won 1 mill, but they have competed in this race and I think have done well.  they have also taken chances and done things different then others in the past.

Okay then why were Alison and Donny eliminated second???  Why wouldnt have been rigged for them??

Some people really need to realize Rob and Amber are good racers and deserve a final three spot, if you think they should not have been in teh final three then neither should CC or KJ. If RA come in first in one of teh last two legs they will tie CC for the record of most first places.   And Rob and Amber are great tv lets face it this season was theres had they not been on it, it would have been boring.

And FYI the producer DID NOT want them on the show so why would he have rigged it for them, someone high up at CBS got them on but thats all he could do.  The prodcer said that he didnt even want to make them the "starts" but once they got to like Africa and all team were against them he knew it was the Rob and Amber show.  And he said its no RA fault becuase theys tayed to themselves its the other teams fault for making them such a big deal.

[gingerman28]

Hey, we are getting way off the subject here.  This thread is not to praise nor criticize any race team. There are seperate threads for that.

Here we are trying to figure out where the teams are going, what they are doing there, and why they are flying around the Caribbean without rhyme nor reason, or so it seems.

Let's keep our nose to the grindstone here; go over to sucks or some such place if you want to bitch and whine.

Well because Alison/Donny were not CBS's crticial darlings, since Rob/Amber have been on Survivor twice CBS would do anything to help them out.

There have been other teams that have been more entertaining than Rob/Amber - like Ray/Deana because of their bickering, Ryan/Chuck because they sounded like Australians to me, Brian/Greg their famous footraces, carcrash, hysterical exit, Lynn/Alex the gay couple, Meredith/Gretchen the team that could. But all these teams are gone replaced by boring people. In fact I think Brian/Greg left more of an impression and were more entertaining so they will be remembered when people look back on this season than Rob/Amber's scheming/dirty tricks have been all season.  Brian/Greg, Lynn/Alex and Ryan/Chuck should be in the in final three not boring couples Ron/Kelly, Uchenna/Joyce and Rob/Amber.

If there is an All-Star Season of Tar hopefully the TAR producer will have enough balls to put his foot down when CBS mentions Rob/Amber. 

[gingerman28]

Once again, this is not the thread for this kind of discussion. Please take it elsewhere and let us concentrate on figuring out why the teams are travelling from London to Florida to Jamaica to Florida to Puerto Rico to Florida to Las Vegas.
