Eleven Families of Four

Chateau d If:
Okay GMan, let's officially open the hunt for the eleventh team.

We can gather all the evidence for and against here.

I am now convinced that one team has been removed from the race by something other than Philimination.

Here is what tipped me:


As the Linzs are running to their SUV at the USSRC you can count seven SUVs there.  And the Bransens are already on the road.  So that makes eight SUVs.
But at this point in the race (start of leg 4) we have been shown that there are only 7 teams left (Blacks, Rogers, Aiellos eliminated).  Okay, so maybe the 8th SUV belonged to the Aiellos.  But, later on we see the last two teams to leave USSRC approach the remaining SUVs and there are only two there.  That tells me that 8 teams started the 4th leg of the race.

Chateau d If:
GMan!

I see that you were already onto this!

You posted it 4 min sooner!

To recap:

In EP1 - we had 11 SUV's lined up in Brooklyn and as Mama Paolo arrives she comments that they are always last. and we only have ten teams accounted for.

In EP2 - we had 10 stretchers and orderlies (would they have an extra orderly also standing by) when there are only 9 teams accounted for.

In Ep 3 - we had 9 jeeps lined up at the Muddy Run when only 8 teams are accounted for.

In Ep 4 - we had 8 SUV's waiting at NASA when only 7 teams are accounted for.

Pretty consistent pattern, me thinks.

The question is if our reasoning is right, there should only be 6 somethings when only 6 teams are accounted for in Panama. Keep your eyes peeled for the tell-tale marker.

Chateau d If:
Also, there are suspicious gaps in the sequence of the teams as they walk to the starting line.

Does anybody feel like tracking all the running racers after the "Go"?

And, at Dulles you see some people wearing packpacks we don't know standing around our racers.  Who are they?

charlierose:
I really think you may be to something. Things are happening way to fast.  We are in the 4 episode and already have 4 eliminations. 

But how would there be a missing team, if when all teams have arrived on the mat Phil has told them face to face you are Team # .  That would have been very difficult to edit.  Just a thought. :]
