puddin:
I seriously wouldn't read to much into what TurT has to say , obviously he reads the spoiler boards and maybe came up with his own scenario , if F&B are eliminated I'll eat my words .
Kogs:

dont read this because i know who gets eliminated and what the chalenges are and where the pitstop is.
i know this information because i live in perth and i followed them around to see what they were doing because i am a huge fan of the amazing race and because next episode is in perth for u americans u guys probely cant wait for it so i will to you the insider now
destinations=
.airport
.kingspark
.fremantle harbour
.rottnest island
.fremantle jail
they come from oman to perth leave the airport go get there next clue at kings park which is one of the biggest parks in austrlia and tells them to travel to the fremantle harbour and when teams get there they have to buy a ticket for the fairy which leves every two hours to rotnesst island which is located 18 km from fremantle harbour and when teams get to the island go to the tourist burea and find the clue box.
when they are at rottnest there will be a detour hit it or bike it. in hit teams probely just have to hit a golf ball into a circle just like season 7 and in bike it they have to ride around rottnest which is called rottnest bike tours which is about 5 km.
after teams have completed it catch a fairy back to fremantle and find the old historicall fremantle jail where the will find there next clue.
there is a roadblock in the old tunnels under the jail i dont know what the road block is but when completed they have to run up the stairs to the old cells which is like a round house which is the pit stop for this leg of the race
i am very sure that fran and barry get eliminated because they have trouble fiding taxi in perth because there arent really many around in western australia

Lots of holes in TurT's "insider"
Nothing about scuba diving and retreaving something off the ocean floor.
Bike it or hit it. Is not a Detour since we have MO/JO both swimming and biking and no one hitting golf ball.
Roadblock has something to do with a key and finding the right cell; not just running to the pit stop.
Biking seems to have a definite end place (the lighthouse) not just a 5km ride around the island. Seems to me that all teams have to bike it to the lighthouse, and then go on to the Detour: sink or swim? dive or drag?
Question: how far is the Fremantle Jail from the ferry jetty? Walkable, runable or cabable?
mswood:
Well, lets see there are photos of Jospeh and Monica, BJ and Tyler (saw a very clear photo on another site of them on bikes), Ray and Yolanda, and Fran and Barry on bikes. Know I think we also have a shot of Eric and Jeremy on a bike.
If so then biking isn't just a detour.
Know we have the diving part where we see Eric and Jeremy (Hot), Mojo for sure diving. I will go back and check more phot's to see what other teams we have for sure diving.
We have that damn photo of Tyler dragging bushes.
Now of course his discription of the roadblock could be correct since he doesn't give much info, just something to do with the prison and that it leads to the Pit Stop (I even felt this was most likely the case).
And it is possible that all the teams do have to bike it to a route marker. And that route marker might be for the detour.
And it is possible that Fran and Barry are eliminated (I would be surprised, but I would love it), because they do sometimes just meander around looking for places or a cab (that's not something they excel at).
As for the spoiler that they sky dive. It is possible that they mixed info on some of they things they have already done in life (which is quite a bit, and they gets props from me for that).

Click on the Google maps link. It looks like the prison is about 1 km or so from the harbour. No need for taxi's.
