--- Quote ---Amazing Race makes stop in Billings
BILLINGS -- The latest season of one of TV's most popular reality shows begins Tuesday night on KTVQ. And part of this year's "The Amazing Race" will look very familiar to viewers in the Billings area.
Q2 has learned that the contestants and crew of "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" stayed in Billings for several days.
CBS won't say where the production crew spent time, or how far along in the series the Billings stop was.
In the Emmy-winning reality show, teams follow clues and race each other around the world on a limited budget.
For the Family Edition, instead of couples, nine families of four are competing for a $1 million grand prize.
The season premiere of "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" airs every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. on KTVQ.

--- Quote --- The Amazing Race: A Rumor
Now that the Amazing Race has started, the rumor mill is grinding. I heard a rumor a month or so ago that the Amazing Race contestants had been in Montana. And in Billings no less. But today I heard another rumor from a pretty reliable source. Not only were the Amazing Race contestants in Montana but the pit stop for that particular point in the race was a ranch not more than 45 miles from where I live! Whether this is all true or not remains to be seen. But this is the way I heard it. The Race leaves Cody, WY and heads for Fishtail, Montana through Red Lodge. They camp at the ranch for their mandatory rest period and then head off to the airport in Billings. Which means they had to pass by the town I live it! This is all too exciting! This is all speculation, however, but it sure makes the race fun to watch.

30. "Don't know how credible..."
I read on a site, don't know where, that there was something about going to Montana for a visit to Pomp's Pillar (The place that Lewis and Clark engraved their signatures on the expedition), that's outside Billings. The C.M. Russell art museum, that's outside Great Falls, and lastly something about purple sidewalk squares. Don't know what's significant about it, or where that is in Montana.

Havre MontanaWalking around the streets of Havre one may see a few small grids of purple colored squares on the sidewalk. These are from a sort of underground "mall" built in the city at least a hundred years ago (the squares let in sunlight).

A friend of a friend does freelance filming around town (Birmingham, AL), and a few months ago, he hinted that he did a two-day shoot that was "Amazing," had something to do with a reality show, and that he had to sign something swearing him to secrecy. So maybe they are sticking to the U.S.(I missed the first hour). I can't imagine the logistics of flying those big teams all over the world!
I love this show, and I hope the family aspect doesn't get annoying...it definitely seems like it could be unbalanced at times.

Phil said 7 Pitstops will be elimination
articles confirm 13 episodes
The show was filmed in July, but the winner will not be revealed until the end of the 13-episode series.
CBS /TAR website shows 11 Episodes?
also the articles state that we will have " Fewer NEL "
Initially, "it was great to see how well these people got along with each other" and offered help, even as they "finessed finding ways to mislead the other teams." Later, as the race got harder, teams became more "bitter" and clearly labeled certain rivals as enemies.
The kid-friendly contest, which includes fewer non-elimination episodes, did require certain concessions: Over the 30-day race, filmed mostly in July, teams traveled 30,000 miles :roll:, far less than the 72,000 traversed by teams on the sixth season. And more family-friendly, less-crowded locales were chosen.

Hasbrouck has 12 episodes listed ~
rmax:
There's a discrepancy in those schedules, Hasbrouk has it ending 12/13, the other 12/19 (which is a Monday). I would guess the Hasbrouk one is correct as it has a 2 hour finale on 12/13 (still with 13 legs, unless there's a recap thrown in somewhere).
