??? Susan TAR 7 has already written over at Sucks about decoys in Dallas where the racers "accidentally" dropped some paperwork (quoted here http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessage?topicID=5612.topic&index=44). And there's some insider video from last season in South Africa which describes how meticulous the production staff is--in the middle of this clip

Also we were told that Gretchen was givin a decoy clue to throw her family off .. it lead them to beleive that she was in the final 3 . Tricky indeed .

Reality TV races past Fort Benton
By DAN HOLLOW
Tribune Staff Writer
FORT BENTON — The local folks helping out were sworn to secrecy, but by the end of the day Friday, it was no secret what had just come up the Missouri River downstream from Fort Benton.
No, it wasn't another batch of adventurers retracing the steps of Lewis and Clark.
The visitors were a film crew and an undetermined number of teams from the CBS hit reality TV show "The Amazing Race," according to Fort Benton resident Colleen Lulf.
Lulf said the only excitement expected this week was the homecoming football game Friday night between the Longhorns and the Malta Mustangs (final score Fort Benton 14, Malta 20).
But midweek, rumors began to swirl.
At the 7th and 8th grade football games Wednesday night, a woman overheard someone talking in a loud voice about a "big secret" of some "doings on the river."
Then, a local restaurant owner was seen in the grocery store buying vast quantities of food for breakfast burritos, and later, the restaurant owner was heard leaving town to deliver the food in his pickup. It was known for being noisy, Lulf said.
"In a small town, it's hard to totally keep a secret," she said. "People are used to a pattern, a set rhythm of life."
Lulf's first encounter with the buzz came when she was getting dropped off at Coal Banks Landing Thursday. She had ferried a Jeep to Judith Landing at the other end of a popular stretch of canoe trip through the White Cliffs area.
Her husband, John, works for a river tour business in the summer but teaches in the winter so Colleen was helping out with a friend.
As they drove down a hill toward the river, "we were amazed to see a fleet of fast moving boats sweep around the bend and race up the river," she said. Then more boats came by, and then some more.
Lulf's first reaction was there must be some bigwigs afloat because there is a "no wake" rule on the Wild and Scenic stretch in the summer, and upstream motorized travel is not allowed.
But the motorized restrictions, which start the weekend prior to Labor Day, are lifted the weekend following Labor Day.
The next morning, a friend told Lulf of "The Amazing Race" rumor. Some young men about town had been hired to drive, but had been sworn to secrecy and had to sign some kind of agreement not to talk.
"So, that's what it was, my friend and I concluded," Lulf said. "They had filmed part of 'The Amazing Race' downstream from our little, usually quiet town."
According to CBS, "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" features teams of four family members and will first air in a two-hour segment Sept. 27. This is the eighth edition of the two-time Emmy Award-winning show, in which contestants race around the globe, encountering challenges at each local stop, in pursuit of a $1 million prize.
This episode reportedly includes segments filmed on the East Coast, in Central America and at Niagara Falls.
"Even though I've only seen the show in passing a few times, I am excited to see the upcoming segment, whenever it might be on," Lulf said. "After all, I'd been witness to part of the actual race."
Lulf's husband John was not as thrilled.
"You think you'll have a nice, quiet canoe trip and a bunch of motor boats come by," he said.
