NEW TAR commercial
Slowhatch:
--- Quote ---The race begins in Denver, Colorado when teams quickly jet off to their first location, Sao Paulo, Brazil where, upon landing, they must venture deep into the heart of the city to find their next clue at the Hotel Unique. Almost immediately, teams make their way by foot to Viaduto Santa Ifigenia, a pedestrian footbridge overlooking the highway and the Vale do Anhangabuau. One team struggles to locate the clue box, while other teams seem to find it with ease.

By foot?? Something seems wrong. As the crow flies it's 3.33 miles through a dense urban area.

Phil's Comments in TV Guide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a one page "Phil Keoghan's Amazing Race Diary" spread in this week's TV Guide. Not too much exciting info...confirms that we have a start from Red Rocks Ampitheater (as spoiled here and shown in commercials) and the first leg travels to Brazil. He notes that the flight that is supposed to arrive first is delayed, and many of the racers don't realize that Spanish is not the official language of Brazil.
He mentions Lake and Michelle ("light packers"), BJ and Tyler (stating they are immediately nicknamed "The Hippies" by other teams), and Dani and Danielle (Tyler dubs them "Double Ds"), as well as praising Yolanda, who has "the most amazing legs" of the racers.
The detour is "Motorhead or Rotorhead" and involves a choice between building a motorcycle or navigating for marked roofs from a helicopter. There is a candle lighting ceremony that the teams must take place in to receive a clue at some point as well.
