*At the gate, I only saw Romber and JVJ(?). I saw Charla & Mirna talking to the ticket agent getting their tickets, and cutting a bit for the camera just after they purchased them. There were two other teams and Team Guido after them. I think Team Guido was the last team in line, but again it was hard to tell, because they were in a big cluster including the 6 cameramen and sound guys assigned to them. All I know is some tall guy with kind of a big nose wearing something that looked (from a distance) like a straw cowboy hat was up at the counter talking to the agent.

* They're (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessageRange?topicID=7265.topic&start=741&stop=760) at Gate A7 of Miami International Airport waiting for an American Airlines flight to Quito, Ecuador
* I thought they were scheduled to leave at 3:05, but it turns out they were leaving at 3:50; so I got there too early to see all the teams
* Romber was done at the ticket counter about half an hour before Charla and Mirna. By the time Charla & Mirna left, 2 or 3 teams had caught up. Charla almost left her passport and ticket with the ticket agent. He had to call her back to get them.
* I don't know if this will help, but Rob & Amber were wearing their matching Red Sox caps, and Team Guido were wearing their fleece jackets with "Team Guido" stitched into the back. So, if the players were instructed to dress similar to the way they dressed last time they were on the show.

THE AMAZING RACE:  ALL-STARS -- The second team is eliminated in Chile.
 

USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2007-01-15-amazing-race_x.htm)
** How did Race challenge contestants who knew the drill? "We had to throw them curveball after curveball, because they all thought they knew what we were doing again," Van Munster says. So the 45,000-mile, 28-day race, which ended Dec. 19, sent them "from extreme cold to extreme heat," a desert in northern Chile to "borderline South Pole" in Antarctica.

**Ushuaia, Argentina   

 posted on Monday, Nov 27, 2006  , saw the Racers on 11/26 ??

Alter a 7 hour flight with a terrible hangover from Thanksgiving, we arrived in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the World!!!! It really feels like it…the sun rises around 4:30 AM and does not set until 10:30 PM. We went on an excursion that took us through the Beagle Channel where we stopped at several islands to see the sea lions, birds, and some famous lighthouse. The following day Dave and I headed out to the Tierra del Fuego Nacional Park. We did a few small treks and at the southern most point of the park where Route 3 ends, we ran into contestants from the AMAZING RACE!!! (that might be the most exciting thing we saw in Ushuaia) Dave and I tried to run and get in on the action but we were ignored. PS, it is soooo staged. I don't have many pics because I need my battery to last longer

*Hi to all. I'm doing a trip through South America and I'm now in Ushuaia, Argentina (southern most city in the world).
*About an hour ago Bill and Joe (Team Guido) entered an internet cafe/calling center (locutorio) with a cameraman and a soundman. They wanted to call a few airlines (Aerolinas Argentinas and South African Airlines). I guess they are heading to South Africa then.Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I was in a rush and the cameraman was intimidating! "

--------------------------------------------------
*Hi, me again. A few more informations:
The locutario where the pics were taken was at the corner of 25 de Mayo and San Martin in Ushuaia. It was taken at about 19h15 Ushuaia time (17h15 NYC). The sunset here is at about 22h15.
*The girl is definetly not Emily. Sorry guys. It was just a Fern.
It still takes a long time to get to Antarctica from Ushuaia, by boat at least (a few days). So if they went to Antartica, it was by small planes.
I spent the last 2 days around town and haven't seen anybody else. I also went to most of the landmarks in Ushuaia yesterday evening to try to find a pitstop, detour or roadblock, without sucess. And Ushuaia is not a big town, so I guess they just stopped in town to call. The others might have gone straight to the airport. Bill and Joe probably arrived by bus because the buses around here drop you at the corner of Maipu and 25 de Mayo. The locutario they were in would be the first you see after being dropped from a bus. So I guess the pitstop was eather in the Tierra del Fuego Natl Park, or maybe at Estancia Harberton (the biggest and oldest estancia in Tierra del Fuego, typical TAR pitstop).

*I think they already had their plane tickets out of Ushuaia to probably Buenos Aires. It's a pain to get out of Ushuaia by eather plane or bus these days. You have to book way in advance. So it would be impossible for 8-9 teams + crew to just hop on a plane. So I guess the tickets were handed to them, with 2 or 3 departing times.

*Finally, the guidos didn't look like they were in a really good mood. They had their serious face. It doesn't really indicate anything but they might have been at the middle or the back of the pack.

Some friends of mine are Peace Corps vols in Mozambique and claim that the race came through Maputo sometime between Thanksgiving and December 7. One of the destinations was the old Portuguese fort (pictured here: http://tabisite.com/gallery_af/mozambique/91af265.jpg). Unfortunately they didn't have any other details. This does seem consistent with the spoilers that teams were on their way to South Africa, as Maputo is usually reached through Joburg

*Have they actually started racing? I know someone who supposedly was contacted to 'help with the production team', that they will be in Malaysia this weekend. Should I start camping out at the airport?
*I'm still a little iffy about this info though.. Does anyone know when/if the race has actually started? it wouldn't make sense for them to start flying into Malaysia if it's still early in the show, would it? 
*More info from my intel.. they will be in Malaysia from the 9th to 12th December . I'm trying to find out where exactly the roadblocks/detours will be so I can have more than one chance of getting their pictures.


Izad (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessage?topicID=7459.topic) posts (on 12/10)

* 5 teams passed through Malaysia..... 4 were seen and documented 

izad adds:
*Those are the orders that they came in. Charla and Mirna got a huge lead. :) The other three teams came in close within each other.
*There five teams in this leg because I'm a good listener.
 *again, since I did not personally see the fifth team, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt..
*from what I 'heard' - an African American couple who got delayed on their flight. with the fifth team, it's not an eye-witness account like the other four, so I can't confirm if what I heard was true.. so y'all can still speculate.

fashionblue: I happened to be in Macau going back to Hong Kong on 14 Dec and I saw the Amazing Race teams there. It was obvious because the camera men were rushing to film the teams buying the ferry tickets. I recognised one of the pairs (Danny or Oswald I think) from Season 2 but he was partnering with another guy. And when I boarded the ferry, Phil was seated behind me. I casually joked, "oh so the AR teams are here huh?". He just smiled. When I asked if I could take a pic with him, he said "I'll be in deep trouble if I do that!".

You will be surprised on who the final 4 will be. I had the opportunity to see all 4 teams in action during a stop in Guam in Dec. IT was very interesting to see what goes behind the filming. It will be interesting to see what actually makes it on TV. They probably filmed for a couple of hours to get just a few minutes of final footage. When the epsiode airs, I will give you more of my take on the "realism" of the tasks accomplished.

Amazing Race Visits Guam
PNC Staff Reporter 16.DEC.06
10:22am Look out for a Guam stop in next season’s “The Amazing Race”. Guam was paid a visit by competitors of that reality TV show.
Guam was apparently a stop, and competitors were on Andersen Air Force, being filmed. The Pacific News Center contacted Air Force Officials, who confirmed the film crew was on base, but could not comment any further.

* They'd stayed at Anderson Air Force Base on Guam - had gotten in the previous morning and left the following day.
*These 3 teams may not have gone to Sequesterville (or may have gone to a short-term, different Sequesterville).
*They're probably teams #6 (Guidos), #5 (Uchenna/Joyce), and #4 (Chas) / Danny & Oswald
*Kath asked Danny if Rob/Amber and some of the other racers were another plane, and he said something like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's another plane."

G'day from Australia and NZ (http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/justincourt/australia_-2006/1166574780/tpod.html) : Our trip back was quite interesting. We left Cairns at 1:30am and flew to Guam arriving at 6:30 am. We then got a room and slept for a couple of hours and then got back on the plane had a stop over in Japan and then arrived in Hawaii for 24hours where we tried to get used to the time difference and enjoyed the last warm days of our trip. One interesting thing that occurred to us on our travels was that we ended up on a flight with the Amazing race. They were taping the next season and it was cool to see what was going on behind the scenes.
Our trip was awesome. We met some amazing people on our way and hand some wonderful experiences. (posted on DEC 19th )

Interviews  (http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/interview-john-vito-and-jill-talk-about-their-amazing-adventure-4732.php) with sequestered racers have indicated that only 5 teams were sequested in Acapulco, Mexico: 

Reality TV World:   Did being sequestered together change your feelings for each other or for any of the other teams?

John Vito:  Eventually there were five teams there, so it wasn't just like one-on-one time.  We spent a lot of time with the group hanging out together.  I think we got to know people more and I think that everybody we were with are good people and I enjoyed spending the time with them to get to know them... although none of us wanted to be there.



tvguide interview: (http://url=http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800009677&rssDate=12345678)Amazing Race's Host Gets Down and Dirty

I was excited the other day to talk to Phil Keoghan, the host of The Amazing Race. I've watched the show religiously since Day 1 and I was always under the impression that Phil had it pretty easy. I envisioned him sitting in a cozy air conditioned room getting a call when the contestants were getting close to the mat and he'd just step out. I however was completely wrong. The super nice host told me how he normally loses about ten pounds a season, and gave me insights on some of the trials and tribulations that he and his crew faced this season alone . In addition to losing his bag at one point and having to do an emergency shopping trip, they had to change locales on a moments notice.

"We had to change the location of a pit stop because the teams weren't going to get to a certain place at a certain time. Everything was changing and evolving. We were flying ahead to where the pit stop was going to be, and flew a number of hours to this location only to find out when we landed that the teams weren't EVER going to be able to make the route. We had to put 40 something bags back on the plane and fly all the way back again, then we ended up at a place where we weren't meant to have a pit stop, so things were a little sketchy and there were 12 of us at one point lying on the mat at three in the morning swatting mosquitos."


"On one part of the race, the teams were so spread out that there was a **17 hour difference between first and last. The first teams were leaving and I was still waiting another five hours for the last team to come in. We always hope that if we have a long spread we're at a nice pit stop. It doesn't always work like that. If you are in the salt pans in Botswana, and the teams are spread out 14 hours, it isn't like you move from the mat to a comfortable place. You are on a salt pan for however many hours it takes, or on a junk in Hong Kong bobbing up and down for 13 hours."

"I wash my hair on the side of the road, because a lot of times I can't get to a shower. I have a portable steamer and carry my own clothes. There's no wardrobe or makeup out there. It is just me. I'm not complaining, I love it because I don't want to be stuck in a studio. I just think it is not what people imagine. "

"There is one pit stop early on this season when we are at the end of a dirt road, in a very dry place, the only shelter was a rain umbrella. We were just drenched with sweat. I think I went through about 14 bottles of water. The only place to sit down was on top of a cooler or an equipment case. I don't know what people imagine I'm doing. It's not like there's a trailer out there. [Laughs] But I wouldn't have it any other way." 

** we know this happened in Europe thanks to the IGN interview (http://tv.ign.com/articles/765/765692p1.html)

What happened to Reichen and Chip. I thought they were LIFE partners?  :lol3:

Of course I got the scoop on this...Reichen and Chip were in DC the week after or of the premier of their season.  A local gay newspaper got an interview with them.

Turns out Reichen has buddies in DC. Allegedly (LOL) Reichen said that him and chip were never married that was a CBS decision to promote it that way so they were just 'dating'. Yet as of the premier they had split - allegedly (LOL) due to stuff that came out in the race.

I recently saw Chip on a Gay/Lesbian reality reunion show (variety of contestants) talk show about their experience. Chip/Reichen split seemed to be a sore subjuect, so I'm assuming like most break-ups in the gay community it was hard and both were  bitchy...LOL

The only reason they would do it unless they have reconciled is the cash which makes me think they will be interesting to watch in the race.

I know some fans are totally agains't the idea of an all star dition, but I am all for it.  Hell it would have to be better then the family edition. 

Plus take this latest season, and how everyone said that the teams that keep winning (eric and Jeremy/ BJ & Tyler) were just competing agins't crappy racers.  Which is true to an a degree, every season has teams that just just have no chance of winning.

I would love to see a race of seasoned racers, compete and have them all put through some serious travel and competition. 

But if htey do this they need to keep it difficult.  No real easy locals, no real easy stunts, no stupid lame ass marketing (unless a part of a really hard stunt, I have no problem with that).

As for Reichen and CHip, funny but the 2cd to last episode 4th season  was the fourth ever episode of the Amazing Race I watched and it was when I became hooked (its like crack).

I had watched 2 episodes in season 2 (the final two episodes with Cha, Cha, Cha), and I was so upset that they were eliminated I didn't watch the rest of hte season.  Next season I worked during that time, and then forgot all about it.

But being gay, I thought how cool that the two teams I say featured one very cool but somewhat sterotypical gay team (and the one team still in it that seemed to be nice people and having a ball), and hten Riechen and Chip two people in a realationship (not for me to judge, after all most all realationships end now days), and they were very driven and competitive.

I have been hooked ever since.  And even when I hate the players (Adam, Rebecca, Kendra, Flo, Ray, Victoria, Jonathan), I still love the show.

And with the Family Edition, and then season 9's rotating days and loss of viewers purhaps this is a way to rekindle some interest.

CBS announced earlier that the producers of TAR had brought in a new team to develope harder and more interesting tasks for the teams to undertake.  These were the same people who developed some of the tasks for Survivor and they indeed were more difficult and more physical than anything done on TAR before.  So perhaps TPTB will be giving the series a new life starting with TAR10.  By the way, Sunday night traditionally is the most watched TV night of the whole week.

Post by: chunkylover53 on June 04, 2006, 06:27:02 PM
I think this would do great ratings.  My only idea would be to NOT bring back any teams that won in the past.  That way everyone is on equal footing.  There is none of the "let's try and mess up this team because they won" crap.  I think one of the better parts of AR is the idea that most teams get along.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?
Post by: mswood on June 05, 2006, 03:33:08 PM
I don't know most every season has drama in between the teams.

Season one had the texan teachers who were not nice at all to Paul and Amy.

We had the guidos who pissed everyone off, especially with airport.

Season Two:  We had Tara and Wil pissing off Blake and Paige and at times Chris and Alex.  We had teams not get along with Gary and Dave.  We had the grannies who didn't care for Blake and Paige.

Seaon Three:  We had the twin hunt.  We had no one really liking Ion.  We had the viewing audience not liking Flo (sorry couldn't resist).

Season Four:  We had threats of getting brake lines, and just an early nastiness in this season that didn't to get better (just still competitive) after about half way through.

Seaon Five:  We had Colin versus Mirna and CHarla, and several other teams at times really not getting along Chip and Kim and Karli and Kami.

Season Six:  We had Lori and Bolo agains't the models, Everyone hating JOnathan, all the viewers hating Jonathan.  And most of us hating Victoria.  We had Freddie thratening everyone.  Just an ugly season this one (thatnk you Kris and Jon for being positive almost through the whole race).

Season Seven:  We had Rob and Amber who didn't get along with the girl team, with Lynn and Alex and who played a fairly dirty game from the first episode to the last.  But they did entertain.  We had Ray and Denna and his feelings about the bottom feeders (nice).  Not the meanest season, but the most underhanded.

Season Eight:  Weavers, weavers, weavers, and and weavers.

Season Nine:  We had a bit of dislike between Fran and Barry towards Lake and Michelle, we had Mojo and the Frats not getting along.  What started as the friendliest cast, by about leg 9 or 10 turned nasty and stayed that way for about 3 episodes. 

So a bit of team anomosity seems to exist in all season to various degrees.

Post by: chunkylover53 on June 05, 2006, 03:46:16 PM
Some of what you say is true, but I think some of it was just good competition between teams.  I truly think there were some bad edits of team.  Yes there were the bad people (HWSNBN and FLO) but I think you can look at some of it as teams who were competitive with each other.  The low points of the series for me started around season 6 with HWSNBN and went downhill with Romber.  Although I don't count that Family thing as a real race I can see everyones hate of the Weavers but I think things got alot better this season and they went back to the way the show used to be (Lake's racial/idiotic comments aside).
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?
Post by: Texan on June 07, 2006, 02:39:37 PM
Can you imagine Flo, Colin and Jonathon all in the same show  :lol3:  And you would have to throw Romber in there as they would reall get Colin and Jonathon's boat!

There were some good teams eliminated early on but if they did do the allstars they would be mostly final 4 teams.  What were the sisters names that the one sister spent like 12 hours goign through the hay stacks?

All stars will be hard as you could not have the family season included.  since all the other seasons were 2 people.  I think there would be alot of alliances that woudl happen in an all star version.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?
Post by: Jeffrey Scott on June 07, 2006, 02:42:17 PM
Possibly they would ask some of the four person teams from the family edition and delete two members of thier team? The Weavers could have the mom and the son! Woudln't we all love that?

My only fear with that is they might need to have more prearranged flights to get a team of 4 plus a crew with them.  I like it when you have to figure it out on your own not told to take one of these 3 flights.

Post by: chunkylover53 on June 09, 2006, 07:51:59 PM
I like that idea better than "pick one of these 3 flight that have seats reserved".  I think it is a race and if you are able to get way ahead of other teams becuase you are that good then you should be able to.  AR should not be able to set up so many catch up points.  If they think it will make boring Tv if 1 team pulls way ahead then get better teams not just teams that fit your sterotypes.

hi all Newbie here.
Im a press photgrapher and travel all the time
and im a TAR addict since season 3.
 i had to register and ask a question
that has been bothering me
Why does everyone hate rob and amber????
they were one of the most entertaining teams
in tar history their season drew tars best ratings ever and an emmy
hell they boosted the ratings so well cbs ran with it and
did the wedding thing. plus im sorry they got hosed
as a frequent traveler  I can tell you for a fact . it cost's
more money to idle that jet back ten feet to the
jetway and extend it back out re open the door
to get the 300.00 worth of money from two more tickets. (:;)
plane and simple cbs had a hand in that and a few $$$


but honestly why wouldnt anyone want smart ass rob
grinding on everyones nerves. it made it funner to watch
everyone else get frustrated and gun for him

Bring back rob and amber


and hey doesnt this guy(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR9_Promo2/tar10/pudRFF90030.jpg) look strangely like

Title: Producers say there’s a 50/50 chance of all-star Amazing Race season
Post by: chunkylover53 on July 17, 2006, 08:11:03 AM
from realityblurred.com

The producers of The Amazing Race talked to critics Saturday and said that there’s a 50/50 chance of an all-star race.

“We talk about it all the time. We make up little fantasy lists in our head,” executive producer Jonathan Littman said.

He also talked about changes for The Amazing Race 10. “This race started harder. We sent them head first into the toughest possible areas. It really threw them for a loop,” Littman said.

And executive producer Bertram Van Munster confirmed many of the previously reported locations, saying the show visited some “hard-core communist countries” such as China, Mongolia, and North Vietnam.

Is Dr. Will From Big Brother Going To Be On The Amazing Race?
Rumors have been circulating that an All Stars edition of the Amazing Race is in the works.  With the cast of Amazing Race 10 already announced, the earliest such an edition could become a reality would be Amazing Race 11.  However, information revealed on the Big Brother live feeds hints that Amazing Race All Stars might have an unusual twist.
Dr. Will Kirby has suggested on the live feeds that part of his deal in coming back to do Big Brother All Stars was that he would possible be given the opportunity to do the Amazing Race.  In the past, there have also been rumors that Kaysar Ridha was considering doing the Amazing Race.  Could Amazing Race All Stars actually be a combination of teams not only from previous season of Amazing Race but also from previous seasons of other CBS reality shows like Big Brother and Survivor?

If Dr. Will Kirby were to go on the Amazing Race, then should his partner be Mike Boogie or Janelle Pierzina?  If there are multiple teams from Big Brother on Amazing Race, then what should the pairings be? How about Danielle & James, Kaysar & Janelle, and Will & Boogie?  Which former contestants from Survivor should be paired on Amazing Race?  Which former Amazing Racers should return?  Please post who from Big Brother, Survivor, and previous seasons of Amazing Race that you would like to see on an Amazing Race Reality All Stars

IGN TV: So where do you two stand on the oft-debated topic of doing an Amazing Race: All-Stars edition? Do you think it would be a fun thing to do?

Keoghan: I don't know. I think if the fans really want it, then they should get what they want. Because there's such a freshness to the teams going out to places they've never been before, and they don't know what it's like to be in television and to be on television, they're sort of naïve in a way that makes for really exciting content. And sometimes when I've seen these shows were people have come back, [and] they tend to be much more affected. They get a sense of how they look on TV, so then they alter their behavior a little bit. I'd hate to see that happen. But I don't know. I'm open to it.

Doganieri: I think it would be good if we brought back teams from the very beginning; the first couple seasons, who haven't been around it for awhile. I think we've progressively made it a little harder, the challenges, and a little more interesting. So we would make it really, really tough for them. And there is certain teams that I'd like to see come back; it's not always the first or second place teams. There's a lot of good teams that got eliminated first or second round that would be really good.

Keoghan: Absolutely. We have lost some really good teams early. Avi and Joe from Season 6, the Jews in Iceland.

Doganieri: Charla and Mirna… There's a lot of good teams that aren't first, second or third in the winnings.

Keoghan: The two guys that were in season 7; the hillbillies. They would have been great.

Doganieri: They were funny and smart. Nobody even knew this but one of them spoke like three languages. And the guy drives around on his ranch, you know? He lives way down in the South, drives around on a tractor… Really smart guys. Good sense of humors.

 

Phil (far left) prepares the teams at the start of The Amazing Race 10
 
IGN TV: So do you do those sort of fantasy picks, imagining if you did do All-Stars who you might put on it?

Doganieri: I have done my own little poll from some of the TARCon people, asking them who they would like. I've got that list on my desk. I did my own poll. But there's a few of our favorites, for sure.

Keoghan: There's definitely people that fans keep mentioning, over and over and over.

Doganieri: And some they definitely don't want back. I won't mention those…But you all know who they are.

IGN TV: I think I know who they all are, but I wonder if some of those are the ones I'd want back.

Doganieri: I think we're all in agreement on the same people.

IGN TV: I think we're all in agreement on some people, that's for sure.

[Doganieri at this point had to leave with her husband (and Amazing Race executive producer) Bertram van Munster]

Keoghan: Some teams that want to come back, the ones that voice their interest in coming back the most, are the ones that we don't want. It's interesting, right?

IGN TV: It is interesting. I don't know how you feel about this team, but I feel like on an All-Stars season, you should definitely have Colin and Christie [from season 5].

Keoghan: Well he would have to be the most competitive person, the most driven person, in my opinion, that we've ever had.

IGN TV: I agree, but I know he's one of those people that splits the fans so much.

Keoghan: But he's great to watch! I agree with you.

IGN TV: Yeah, I know he split the audience as far as if they liked him or not, but I think they were always interested in what he was doing. So would you have them on All-Stars?

Keoghan: I like him. I liked them as TV. It's not going to be up to me, but I did like them for TV. I thought they were great.

Don't know if anyone listened to the final broadcast of CBS House Calls (BB7 webcast) with Gretchen M.  During the interview with finalists Mike Boogie and Erika, Will (Dr. Delicious) called in and told Boogie to prepare for the next Amazing Race (Team Will & Boogie).  Boogie gave the impression it was not a done deal.  Will possibly trying to pressure TAR producers to include a "celebrity" team in TAR11.  Could be just a stunt to get a few more minutes of fame.  LOL.

As much as I love Dr. Will I think there are so many TAR teams deserving of a second chance that it wouldn't be fair to include other "celebs". Joni, I'd absolutely love to see you girls again. You guys are hilarious and the ride didn't last long enough.  :hearts:
Hey, how fun would it be to mix and match up past teams? This would work particularly well for those teams that aren't a couple anymore.

'Race' facing 11th run
Eye orders production on new season of reality skein
 
By JOSEF ADALIAN
"The Amazing Race" is sprinting to another season.
CBS has greenlit production on the 11th cycle of the globetrotting reality skein from exec producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Bert van Munster. News comes two weeks after "Race" relocated to a new Sunday-night slot, where it's helped boost the Eye's overall fortunes on the night -- particularly among younger viewers.

In addition to bringing desirable demos to CBS, "Race" has been an Emmy magnet, winning the reality competish category four years in a row. Phil Keoghan -- aka "The Phil-iminator" -- is the host.

Bruckheimer, van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are exec producers of "Race." Skein is produced by Bruckheimer TV and Earthview, in association with Touchstone TV and Amazing Race Prods.

CBS Press :

CBS PICKS UP "THE AMAZING RACE" FOR ITS 11TH SPRINT
AROUND THE WORLD

The Current 10th Edition of The Four-Time Emmy-Winning Reality Show Averaging More Than 10 Million Viewers in Its New Sunday Time Period

CBS has picked up the four-time Emmy-winning reality series THE  AMAZING RACE for its 11th edition to be broadcast this spring.

     THE AMAZING RACE 10, hosted by Phil Keoghan, premiered on Sunday, Sept. 17 delivering 10.13 million viewers, 4.6/10 in adults 25-54, 3.9/09 in adults 18-49 and 3.1/09 in adults 18-34.  This was the best delivery for any AMAZING RACE broadcast in viewers since Feb. 28, 2006, in adults 25-54 since March 21, 2006, in adults 18-49 since March 28, 2006 and in adults 18-34 since March 14, 2006.

THE AMAZING RACE 10, part of CBS's new Sunday lineup which includes COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE, has helped boost the night in viewers and key demographics.

THE AMAZING RACE 10 features 12 Teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days.  At every destination, each Team competes in a series of challenges -- some mental and some physical -- and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination.  Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first Team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

TVgasm EXCLUSIVE - Survivor, Big Brother and Now Amazing Race All Stars
While we all eagerly await B-Side's recap of last night's Amazing Race, TVgasm has credible confirmation that the eleventh season of The Amazing Race, which begins shooting next month, will be an ALL STAR edition. So far the only teams who are credibly confirmed to return are Collin and Christy and Mirna and Schmirna. There have been a few seasons worth of speculation as to when TAR would bring in the ALL STAR element. Rumors circulated in July that the folks at Bruckheimer were checking availability of previous racers for Oct/Nov, but now TVgasm has learned contracts have been signed and racers will return for the eleventh season, which begins shooting next month.

I'm with Puddin on the Charla love -- my daughter has the same form of dwarfism as Charla and was born the same summer that season aired, so that was very cool for us.

Although I would have loved to see Charla paired with a competent partner -- I could say the same for Sarah this time around. Sarah/Charla - now THAT would be a team.

Bring on All-Stars!

Yeah, I don't know how I fell about it.

1.  I have been curious to see it.

2.  But I also dread it.

3.  Choice.

Dou you go with the teams that are the best racers?
Do you go with the teams that won (usually good racers, but not usually the best of their season)?
Or do you go with characters?

Based on the choice of Mirna and Charla I would say characters (though they were a good team in season 5, they weren't the best).  The above Colin and Christy were an overall better team as was Brandon & Nicole.  But tehy were better characters (at least Charla, I hated Mirna with a fiery passion).

Because personally I wouldn't pick anyone that didn't make final four, no matter how much I liked tehm.  Nor would I pick teams that hit multiple non eliminations (sorry Flo and Zach, BJ & Tyler), they already had their second chance and their third for that matter.

Of course there are teams I think desire a chance at all stars, that might not be interested (for any number of various reasons).

Usually by now they would have the applications up as well as casting calls going on or that have happened...that might be a sign that TAR11 will be an AS...

which I am not really looking forward to since I believe some of the greatness of TAR is the new people and experiences they share - not to mention there are some teams that I really just don't want to see on my TV again!!  (:;)

Post by: Texan on October 18, 2006, 12:32:59 PM
One thing that will be intreresting if they do all stars . ..  is the new rule about how many road blocks each can do.  Some of the good teams 1 partner did the majority or all of the raodblaocks.  now that their partner would have to do some I think it might be a BIG factor.  do nto get me wrong the teams were tough, but do you think christy would have done the rope wall the same speed as Colin?

Will be interesting to see how they pick teams.  Maybe they shoudl make them all remas of 4 so the families can participate.  They would pair up 2 teams from each season.

Reply   All-Stars info from Chip & Kim
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 From: web.mac.com/mcallpl/iWeb/...18972.html

Kim: I don't think I ever got a phone call from anybody. (for All-Stars)

--

Chip: There IS DEFINITELY gonna be an Amazing Race all-stars. They will be starting within the next few days. And Kim & I never got a phone call from anyone.

--

Chip talks about being "hurt" that the people of CBS did not even 'remember' them and consider them for ALL-STARS, which he emphasizes that is already confirmed to be made.

--

Kim suggests that there should have been a poll for the fans to choose the teams they want to be on All-Stars. She also mentions that TAR-ALL STARS will be starting in a week or two. Kim also doesn't know who they have chosen.

--

Both now said that there are a few people they know. They know about half of them but do not want to 'release' the names.

--

They know who are not gonna be in All-Stars and they are:

-BJ & Tyler (YES YES YES!! WOHOOO)
-Jonathan & Victoria (duh)
-Rob & Brennan

--

Lol. Poor Chip.. He seems really upset. Ohh well.

So reading between the lines, it looks like we have...

Colin/Christie (TAR5)
Charla/Mirna (TAR5)
Lynn/Alex (TAR7)
Rob/Amber (TAR7)
Brian/Greg (TAR7)

Looks like they're going the "no previous winners" route, which knocks out most of the ROTR bloggers anyway. Hope the early seasons get represented too...

And sometimes when I've seen these shows were people have come back, [and] they tend to be much more affected. They get a sense of how they look on TV, so then they alter their behavior a little bit. I'd hate to see that happen. But I don't know. I'm open to it.

Doganieri: I think it would be good if we brought back teams from the very beginning; the first couple seasons, who haven't been around it for awhile. I think we've progressively made it a little harder, the challenges, and a little more interesting. So we would make it really, really tough for them. And there is certain teams that I'd like to see come back; it's not always the first or second place teams. There's a lot of good teams that got eliminated first or second round that would be really good.

Keoghan: Absolutely. We have lost some really good teams early. Avi and Joe from Season 6, the Jews in Iceland.

Doganieri: Charla and Mirna… There's a lot of good teams that aren't first, second or third in the winnings.

Keoghan: The two guys that were in season 7; the hillbillies. They would have been great.

Doganieri: They were funny and smart. Nobody even knew this but one of them spoke like three languages. And the guy drives around on his ranch, you know? He lives way down in the South, drives around on a tractor… Really smart guys. Good sense of humors.

 

Phil (far left) prepares the teams at the start of The Amazing Race 10
 
IGN TV: So do you do those sort of fantasy picks, imagining if you did do All-Stars who you might put on it?

Doganieri: I have done my own little poll from some of the TARCon people, asking them who they would like. I've got that list on my desk. I did my own poll. But there's a few of our favorites, for sure.

Keoghan: There's definitely people that fans keep mentioning, over and over and over.

Doganieri: And some they definitely don't want back. I won't mention those…But you all know who they are.

IGN TV: I think I know who they all are, but I wonder if some of those are the ones I'd want back.

Doganieri: I think we're all in agreement on the same people.

IGN TV: I think we're all in agreement on some people, that's for sure.

[Doganieri at this point had to leave with her husband (and Amazing Race executive producer) Bertram van Munster]

Keoghan: Some teams that want to come back, the ones that voice their interest in coming back the most, are the ones that we don't want. It's interesting, right?

IGN TV: It is interesting. I don't know how you feel about this team, but I feel like on an All-Stars season, you should definitely have Colin and Christie [from season 5].

Keoghan: Well he would have to be the most competitive person, the most driven person, in my opinion, that we've ever had.

IGN TV: I agree, but I know he's one of those people that splits the fans so much.

Keoghan: But he's great to watch! I agree with you.

IGN TV: Yeah, I know he split the audience as far as if they liked him or not, but I think they were always interested in what he was doing. So would you have them on All-Stars?

Keoghan: I like him. I liked them as TV. It's not going to be up to me, but I did like them for TV. I thought they were great.

RTVW (http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/former-the-amazing-race-winners-whine-about-all-stars-exclusion-4391.php) did a write up :

Former 'The Amazing Race' winners whine about 'All-Stars' exclusion

 
By Steve Rogers, 10/24/2006

CBS might not yet be willing to confirm last week's report that The Amazing Race's next edition will be an All-Stars edition, but there's one group of Race-affiliated folks who apparently don't have a problem announcing that the show will allegedly begin production soon -- disgruntled former The Amazing Race winners that weren't approached about participating in the competition.

Post by: cinni on October 25, 2006, 10:47:29 AM
as much as i  :hrt: chip and kim, i actually think that excluding the winners will give other teams a chance.

and if romber is back, yeck and double yeck! aren't they doing something else now?

so many teams i'd love to see back. c'mon bowling moms! wonder if they'd consider part of the family edition teams? so many to choose from there too. guess the kids couldn't race but maybe wally and one of his daughters??  :hearts:  speaking of which, where is he???  ;)

and won't they be easier to track being known from previous races?

Hi cinni  :-* ! I've been tracking Rob and hes doing this Sci-Fi (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=2&id=38560) thing but I don't know if it's already been filmed? The site says it was for 6 episodes. Also not to long ago on the Early Show Rob said he was getting into the Gambling show ( I know his dad is on it) but I don't follow that?Also there was story that Romber had their own Fox show (http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2006/07/the_rob_amber_p.html) but have not heard anything about it,the link says beginning in January '07.

And Yeah that to Wally and family as well as the Bowling Moms !

 Teams were asked from every season.

1. Do you know which teams from your season were asked?
----I know of two

2. If a team was asked and accepted, do you know how they went about eliminating two members of the team? I mean, for you it would be easy, but for, say, the Linzes or Godlewskis it would be more difficult to decide which two would race, yes?
----No, TPTB said which two they wanted

Post by: woden on October 26, 2006, 01:09:40 PM
Interesting too that 2 teams from TARFE were asked. It seems if 2 were asked from TARFE, 2 teams from most seasons would be asked. And that's a lot of teams.

 Wow, apparently you people know more than I do..... or at least you think you do.

I know of a few teams that are definitely on it. I know a few teams that definitely aren't doing it. I know of teams that were asked, and I know of certain teams that weren't asked. I also know of teams that were asked but aren't going to do it because they either a) couldn't or b) were passed up on because other teams were picked over them.


I would love to share all of this wonderful knowledge with you, but that wouldn't be fair. Why ruin the surprises?

The only hint I will give is this: When thinking of what teams may possibly be, use you're imagination. Think outside the box. Don't think of former "teams", think of former individuals. And also think of people who have NEVER been on TAR. Hmmmmm.

Ok, I have said too much.... I could of course be 100% wrong, because I wouldn't believe anything unless I heard it come straight from someone who worked closely with the show.

Anyway, enjoy the current season. Cheers!

All of those posts have now been deleted without explanation...was it a case of too much information? or an imposter? I'm not clear.

And LynJame has posted at TWoP:
Quote
Ok, hold onto your hats. I just got more info from my "source." The show will be called "Amazing Race:Return Of The Racers." 11 teams start racing on 11/11.

Teams that are in:

Reichen/Lance Bass
Uchenna/Joyce
Mama Paolo/DJ
Rob/Amber
Colin/Christie
Mirna/Charla
Guidos
Kevin/Drew

Not confirmed

Greg/Survivor Woman (only because rumor has it they may have broken up)
Ray/Deana

Not asked

Chip/Kim
Rob/Brennan
XXX/Victoria
Clowns

Interviewed but didn't make final cut

Ken/Gerard
Susan/Patrick
Debbie/Bianca

Don't know how credible this "source" could be, but this raises all sorts of questions...

Starting with--if Reichen/Lance Bass have received so many threats since his book came out that the FBI had to be called in, WHY would they voluntarily put themselves into  such a highly visible spot?
Seems kind of stupid...

And where are the F/F teams?

There were some major All Star sightings at the Cinncinnatti airport. I was driving to the grocery store and I heard about this on at least three radio stations, one of which named at least one team. The station said there was a definitive sighting of The Guidos. I'm not gonna lie, the airport is twenty minutes out of the way and I went there and stood around for a while. Unfortunately I saw nothing at all.

I know that it will never happen, but I would love to see Kelly and Jon again. I really, really liked them. They were good racers and they fought enough to be entertaining, but not enough to make me hate them.

Here's an early and probably wrong thought, but I wonder if they'll have teams leave the US in a different way to avoid early spoilers -- like by boat. You can probably get to most of the Caribbean via Miami, for example.

Again, who knows if this means anything, but bringing it over from the ROTR blog. Might add fuel to the spec that we may have some racers paired with racers other than their original teammates...

I feel 99% certain that The Guidos are on All-Stars, and that the Race has begun since last Sunday night. (Still don't believe the Cincinnati start though...)

I have been following the Guido's Sunday night  live-feed  (http://www.buddytv.com/tvjhome.aspx?TVJId=135) from their house. They were there last week but, for the first time, there is not a scheduled listing for this Sunday night nor a "remind me" notice. So I think they are off on TAR 11 and it is time for us all to be watching for the teams!

Tomorrow night will confirm if my suspicions are correct! Go Guidos!

I would love to see rob and amber go head to head with colin and christie
but correct me if im wrong. on "i belive it was the first episode" of his new show
on scfi. Rob had his bones read by a vodoo lady and she said something about his future "TWINS" thats what she invisioned for him
and Rob stated that he would find out if she was right in DEC. i took that to mean amber was pregnent and due in Dec.
so if they were to be in TAR all stars she couldnt run the race until after Jan or later. unless they have already run .it im confused now.  :-\ :lol: :lol:

This may be a stupid question, but why do they have to be back in time for the TAR10 finale which was taped last summer yet?

thats correct, phil is always presenting the check to the winners on the early show the next day

Phil was on this live TV programme: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/2kids_studio2_skin/tv2_studio2_group today, promoting his TV series "No opportunity wasted" which is due to screen in New Zealand this sunday. Little bit of info here: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/656351

So that suggests that he hasn't yet left for the race.

For all fans out there...I just wanted to make a note and thank Rosie O'Donnell.

Rosie had Mary and Dave on "The View" yesterday and gave them a digital camera, a MAC, three or four separate vacation trips, an SUV....drum roll....and a brand new 3-bedroom house to be built on the lot where their house trailer now sits!!!!

She told them to give their trailer to anyone they knew in need because that's "the way you are," AND told the audience that when she invited them before the show for a free trip for their family on Rosie's cruise that Mary asked if the Cho Bros could come, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With more people like that...maybe this nation would actually be compassionate and loving to everyone!

Have a great weekend.

Chip

PS Where are Chip and Kim? And we never hear from Tyler? Can you say All Stars...mmmm

rumors rumors rumors got to love those rumors. speaking of chip and kim where is ther eepisode8 recap vid ???

Post by: Evan_Weinstein on November 12, 2006, 08:52:50 AM
please forgive me if i am wrong here, could the contestants have been told by the show producers to ask other people(example: friends, spouse, relatives) to log in for them, to let us think that is not a possiblity that they ran the race.

and i wanted to share a recent happening to me while i was working on the email: as i have Phil's email address, i emailed him all the latest TAR 10 & TARA 1 newsletter which i made using Microsoft Powerpoint, his wife recently emailed me not to send the newsletter to him anymore, saying taht a virus was on that computer. could TAR All STARS be on filming right now
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?

I found a radio interview with Amber dated Nov 9th .
Says she & Rob are filming a show out in Vegas gambling yadda yadda as well as the Sci-Fi show and then goes onto some " a couple of other projects that they are working on  in the future but can't really say anything about them yet...". Also she makes no reference's of a baby in the future or being preggers.

If they are out shooting TAR11-All Stars now, how is it that no body, I mean no body anywhere in the world has spotted anyone.  And if it is an all-star show, most of the teams would be recongnized and named on sight on site.  So are they shooting or are they not???

That really depends they have never put out a cast list more tehn 6 weeks before teh series started.  And since I assume this one wont start until March, besides sightings and reports CBS might not actually put out a real release for several months.

34. "Kevin/Drew in TAR All stars"
I have a TAR all star spoiler. My wife's friend is a neighbor of Kevin from Kevin/Drew fame and tells me that Kevin is doing TAR-all star.
Although I know this type of info usually is greeted with much skepticism, since neither my wife nor her friend are TAR fans and it took several weeks just to get the name of the TAR neighbor, I believe it is probably true.

Kevin & Drew ( TAR1 )

Miss Wendy Wings hints a TAR4 team ( duh )

Colin & Christie ( TAR5 )
Charla & Mirna ( TAR5 )


Jonathug &? ( TAR 6)

Romber ( TAR 7 :yess: )

BQ's ( Tar 10  :yess: )

( someone fill in the blanks, my brain stopped at Romber )

If we get any real spoilers, sightings, we should start a new thread?

 This is from a credible source:"Look out for a Colorado start." I find it interesting since this where last season both began and ended. But then again TAR does have a history of returning to the same areas. They do alot of scouting for future locations during each race

If the information that geezergirl has is correct and the race did leave from Colorado we can assume they went to the Denver International Airport. I checked all international flights that departed today - and excluding the Canadian destinations the flights were as follows:

Cancun - 7am & 10:45am departure
Mazathlan- 9am departure
San Jose Del Cabo - 10am departure
Mexico City - 1:40pm departure
London - 11:41am, 6:45pm departure

why does everyone say that?
how could romber ruin a season?
they drew the best ratings as a team
ever.did you see CBS televise any other racers weddings???
Television is all about ratings and you know they are going to
plug in racers that draw bigger ratings. and after the last few ratings poor
seasons they are going to go with what gets them the best draw.
sorry love them or hate them they draw ratings

ROMBER RULES  :yess: :jumpy: B:) ......lol :lol3:

why does everyone say that? 
They were a "ratings stunt" that CBS pushed on TAR - do you really think that they would have been cast any other way - Amber is pretty much usless - she just follows along with everything Rob tells her to do - not a single brain cell or thought of her own. 

how could romber ruin a season?
I want real team (Kevin & Drew, Momily, Blake & Paige, Cha, Cha, Cha, Dave & Lori, Ken & Gerard, etc.) - not these people out for another 15 minutes of fame or to promote something else they are trying to do.   

they drew the best ratings as a team -
It might have been the best ratings but, as I said above - it was a stunt - and it didn't work.  Only true fans keep coming back to watch the race every season.

ever.did you see CBS televise any other racers weddings???
Once again - another 15 minutes of fame to add on to their "careers" on TV - I certainly didn't watch it - nor have I ever seen a single survivor episode.  If CBS loves them so much - they why don't they give them a show  :(  It's because it possibly wouldn't make it out of a pilot episode.

Television is all about ratings and you know they are going to plug in racers that draw bigger ratings. and after the last few ratings poor seasons they are going to go with what gets them the best draw.
Fame -whores - great...you must be rooting for Jonathug to be on there as well...maybe this time he will actually hit Victoria - to boost the ratings as well?  I did not enjoy or like the ROMBER tactics - I thought the dececption was low & not what a quality show that TAR is was needed. 

sorry love them or hate them they draw ratings - I just have nothing but HATE for ROMBER! TAR has too many quality teams that they could bring back instead of this evil duo!

you said it yourself. they are a ratings stunt that brought in the best ratings
and another emmy. look i have been watching since day one and still tivo
GSN every morning at 3am so i can re watch them on my lunch break.
I just finished watching lena do the Hay road block.  (what a woman) :hearts:
dont tell me anything about true tar fans  B:)
I am A TRUE fan from day one! :hearts:
and even wrote a letter to cbs asking them why
they tried to ruin the show with TAR familiy edition. :meow:
yet  I also think romber was the best season because he was the smartest racer to ever run the race
so i guess that makes me a non true fan?
all I want is a good intriuging season for a change
and there hasnt been on since the romber season
And NO! I hate Johnathug and wish Joe rogan would have knocked his front teeth out. :wall: :killme:
and talk about holding on to your 15min. look at... its on like donkey kong boy! B:)
numerous teams have reality websites now :groan:

Love, like, indifferent, dislike or hate.  ROb & Amber based strickly on performance should make all stars.

But we can assume that some teams that are even better don't make all-stars.

Based on profile, they most likely will make All-stars.

I don't really like it (and not even on how I personally feel about them as players or people).  simple fact is that in a regular season they were able to use their fame to effects that no other team has been able to do.  And even returning racers in an all star group wouldn't have the same degree of face regonition with locals (Ar has never even come close to approaching any of the seasons of Survivor they have been on).  And since getting local assiastance can be such a vital factor in this race (especially if you aren't the best navigators) it really gives them advantage that isn't based on genetic codes or skills learned while living.

Thats really my only problem with having this team (and to much lesser degree Allison and DOnny in season 5) on AR.

New Zealand-native Keoghan was at the company's Mason facility on Nov. 15 to talk about the show, travel stories and ThermaCare, an air-activated heat wrap that provides pain relief and relaxes muscles.

Hmmmm... I work with one of the members of one of the "confirmed" teams above. I haven't seen him in a bit (we don't necessarily cross paths on a daily basis) but it's very common for people here to be onsite at a client's for long periods of time. I think I'll wander by and see what's up.

He is from season 1, on most people's wish-lists (probably only omitted from people who didn't watch season 1), made a cameo in the family edition, is from NYC, was on an all-male team... I think that pretty much gives it away, or at least lets you know he's one of a popular duo.

I was out with a friend tonight, and told her about the rumors of All Stars starting and my co-worker being AWOL. And she told me that another TAR alum works in her company - Jill of Jill and John Vito. Just recently, she went on a leave of absence and didn't give any explanation. Office scuttlebutt was that she was doing another reality show, like maybe Survivor (?) or the Bachelorette (?!?!), but now my friend wonders if maybe it's TAR All Stars.

Of course Jill and John Vito are broken up, but don't they seem like the type that would still remain friends? Or maybe she has another race partner.

Or maybe she IS the next Bachelorette!

Given how close TAR Finale (and the Finale Party and TES) is (are), if they haven't started this by now, I'm guessing that the taping for the next TAR might be pushed back to January or something.  In addition, with the D/K rumors,
Show content
given that they finish 4th, either they're not on All-Stars or TPTB would have to push taping back so that D/K won't miss the Early Show

Now are there any clues pointing that Lori/David or Hayden/Aaron will be in TAR All-Star?

Also, are there any confirmed teams already? I mean 100% confirmed?

Keep up the great detective work, people!

A calculated guess.  

No sightings anywhere in the world; if it is indeed an All-Star race, then someone whould have spotted someone by now.

TAR10 Ends December 10 with awards made on December 11 with Phil in attendence.

Doubt they would race over Christmas or New Years.

That leaves January or February.

And a Spring airing in time for the May sweeps!

Just quessing, of course, Puddin, but......................

They're currently here in Miami. So far the teams I've seen (that I recognize) are:

Rob & Amber (S7)
Joe & Bill ("Team Guido" from S1)
Charla & Mirna (S5)

I also think John Vito & Jill from S4 are also in it.

Looks like Andrew's list is coming to fruition after all (if this post is true).

Maybe they went into sequester/lockdown on the 16th and the race started today... in Miami.

Not saying it IS true just that all of those teams were on Andrew's list.

 I would have taken a picture if it wasn't for the fact that the picture quality of my camera phone sucks. That's all you guys are going to get from me, because I can't keep going back and forth through security to see these guys. It's a long walk.

I thought they were scheduled to leave at 3:05, but it turns out they were leaving at 3:50; so I got there too early to see all the teams. I saw 2 other teams, but I didn't recognize any of them, because I haven't followed every season (especially the last 2).

One team had a really cute blonde chick, but I couldn't distinguish who was on what team, because they were all in a mass jumble in at the American Airlines counter in concourse A.

Romber was done at the ticket counter about half an hour before Charla and Mirna. By the time Charla & Mirna left, 2 or 3 teams had caught up. Charla almost left her passport and ticket with the ticket agent. He had to call her back to get them.

They walked out of line and taped a segment right in front of me, where they talked about where they were going. That's how I knew they were going to Ecuador.

After they cut the cameras, C & M asked the camera guy & sound guy if they wanted to go to the bathroom since they had a long while to wait before the flight left (this was around noon today).

I was kind of disappointed. Everything moved so slow in real life. I was expecting to see a lot of running, but it was all so leisurely. It's so different without all the quick cuts, but I guess that's to be expected

At the gate, I only saw Romber and JVJ. I saw Charla & Mirna talking to the ticket agent getting their tickets, and cutting a bit for the camera just after they purchased them. There were two other teams and Team Guido after them. I think Team Guido was the last team in line, but again it was hard to tell, because they were in a big cluster including the 6 cameramen and sound guys assigned to them. All I know is some tall guy with kind of a big nose wearing something that looked (from a distance) like a straw cowboy hat was up at the counter talking to the agent.

I don't know if this will help, but Rob & Amber were wearing their matching Red Sox caps, and Team Guido were wearing their fleece jackets with "Team Guido" emblazoned on the back. So, if the players were instructed to dress similar to the way they dressed last time they were on the show, then the guy up at the counter COULD be Blake, but I can neither confirm nor deny.

If Romber is 1/2 hour ahead, then maybe other teams are stuck in a traffic jam or an accident. How do we check for traffic jams?

Guys is all this info about teams being spotted in the airports 100% true? (not doubting you, Kogs, but the original poster saw the teams)

Also, I don't think Lyn/Alex are "All-Stars" material.

there was no mention of alex and lynn was there? if there was i am truely blind

Sorry, I was actually refering to puddin's mention of the team.



oh ok, off to look for permits in quito or whatever it is called  :lol:

While I like most of Andrews list (which seems to be bearing fruit).  I just can not see how no alpha male team was included.

I mean does that make any sense to anyone?

I don't think they will let the racers have an advantage by checking myspace ..if anything they are having family checking.

general question, on items they can bring.  Can teams bring mp3 players.  Because Damn all those flights ad waiting at airports, ect.  would drive me crazy after a while.  Plus it would help to drowned out annoying players.

Thanks I was curious because cearly an mps player would be more portable tehn any cd player.  And I mean for this coming race can be the size of a money clip and batteries are also quite small and easy to carry.

I've been reading some of these threads and there seems to be some confusion on some people's part as to what I saw yesterday. Probably most of it due to my not paying attention and starting my own thread to post my info, so I figure I'll put everything I saw in one post and you can go ahead and speculate away from there.

About 11:30 yesterday I was in Miami International Airport. I was told by someone I know, that they saw the Amazing Race taking place at the American Airlines ticket counter in Concourse A. Being a huge fan of the show, I ran over and saw a bunch of people standing at the ticket counter with cameras and sound guys all around. They had a ticket counter roped off specifically for the racers and denoted by two small yellow & red flags. I immediately noticed Charla & Mirna up at the ticket counter. I stood around watching for about 15 minutes and saw Rob and Amber leaving and heading for their gate.

I left and came back at about 12:30. I saw Charla and Mirna still at the ticket counter, but I also saw three other teams at the ticket counter. They were all clustered together, but the only team that I could definitely identify was Team Guido and they seemed to be more at the back of the bunch. The other 2 teams appeared to be:

1. A (seemingly) tall guy in something that looked like a straw cowboy hat with kind of a big nose, he was more on the thin side and had either brown or dirty blond hair. He seemed to be partnered with a woman.

2. A slender, cute chick that had really blonde hair and seemed to be in her mid 20s wearing a pink shirt. She also seemed to be partnered with a woman.


I say the tall guy seemed to be tall, because I didn't stick around for a long time; so I don't know how tall the guys in Team Guido are but he was taller than them. I didn't see any non-white people at the counter.

Some background for those people trying to figure out who these people are - I only watched a few episodes of Season 9 and have maybe seen 1 episode of this season. The only people I could definitely pick out of a crowd from these seasons are BJ/Tyler, Erwin/Godwin, and Peter/Sarah (for obvious reasons). I didn't see seasons 3 and 5 at all, but I could still recognize Charla - again for obvious reasons. I didn't miss an episode of seasons 1, 2, 4, and 6-8 but the only people that would really stick out to me if I saw them are: Romber, Kevin/Drew (who I immediately recognized when they cameoed in S8), Team Guido (rooted very hard for them to lose S1), Tara/Wil (rooted very hard for Wil to win S2 just to spite Tara), Chuck/Millie (Wolfman!), Chris/Alex (one of them always reminded me of Shawn Cassidy), Chip/Reichen, Rebecca/Adam, Freddy/Kendra (so loathesome), Lori/Bolo (one of my all time favorite teams), Johathan/Vicotria (obvious reasons), Gus/Hera, and Uchenna/Joyce.

Out of all the teams I just mentioned, I only saw Romber, Charla/Mirna, and Team Guido, but remember I only saw 6 teams.

Charla and Mirna got out of line with their tickets and they cut a segment for the camera right next to me. They flubbed their lines the first time and got it right the second time. That's where I heard they were going to Ecuador. After the cameras turned off, C & M asked the camera guys if they wanted to go ahead and go to the bathroom since they had a few hours before the flight left. I checked the American Airlines departures and saw that a flight was leaving to Quito from Gate A7, which was in the direction that Rob & Amber were walking.

I, mistakenly, thought the time the plane was leaving was 3:05, but it turns out I went dyslexic and it was leaving at 3:50. I went over to A7 at about 2:10 thinking they were going to start boarding at that time, and hardly anybody was there. I saw the mistake I made on the time, and at that time there were only 2 teams there:

1. Rob and Amber
2. A tall, really muscular guy with black hair and a woman with blonde, wavy hair that looked pretty small next to him. I didn't recognize them at the time, but I came back and started looking through photos and I immediately recognized them as John Vito and Jill. Now, I could be wrong, but I'm 90% positive that it was them.

Rob and Amber were talking to a couple of people, but I don't think they were racers, because they shook hands and parted ways after a few minutes. Rob and Amber moved over and sat next to a guy that and started talking to him, he was white, older (maybe mid 40s), overweight, and IIRC had long, curly black hair. I don't know if he was just a fellow passenger to Ecuador, a racer, or production crew, but it seemed like Rob knew him. I briefly spoke to Rob, wished him luck and went on my way.

I could've gone back later and checked, but I didn't want to deal with airport security again and they were a long walk from where I was. So, that's all I can tell you. Carry on with the speculation. :-)

Maybe I will go back a check a few episodes to find out.

Faves to rerun 'Race'
CBS to air 'All-Stars' skein in 2007
By JOSEF ADALIAN
Rob and Amber are expected to be among contestants on “The Amazing Race: All-Stars.”
 
CBS is giving "The Amazing Race" the all-star treatment.
Net Tuesday confirmed the upcoming 11th edition of the Emmy-winning reality skein, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Bertram van Munster, will feature cast members from previous cycles of the show. Production on "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" began last week in Miami and will premiere in first-quarter 2007.

"Race" becomes the third CBS unscripted skein to go all-star. "Survivor" began the trend a few years ago, while "Big Brother" followed suit last summer.

A CBS spokesman confirmed the all-star nature of the next "Race" but declined comment on which past cast members will return.

However, insiders said Rob and Amber -- who appeared on "Race" after appearing on two editions of "Survivor" -- will be given another shot at the top prize. Duo have wrapped lensing on their upcoming Fox Reality Channel skein, "Rob and Amber: Against the Odds," which debuts in January.

They are expected to square off against Joyce and Uchenna, their two chief opponents in season seven of "Race." Latter team narrowly won that edition.

Also lacing up again: David and Mary, the plain-spoken coalminer and his wife from Kentucky.

Not expected on the "All-Star" race: Jonathan and Victoria, the feuding couple whose antics landed them on a Dr. Phil primetime special. Chip and Kim, two of the most popular former "Race" cast members, won't appear either.

Most editions of the "Race" are expected to be represented on the all-star edition, save for the much-panned family edition.

Bruckheimer, van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are exec producers of "Race." Skein is produced by Bruckheimer TV and Earthview, in association with Touchstone TV and Amazing Race Prods.


there better be more than 12 teams thats all i have to say IF david and mary are in

History up against some of the best ever to

don't get me wrong I loved them as pure people
but they are most likely going to be embarrassed
and out right away

Romber's Amazing Return

It definitely worked for Survivor. It sort of worked for Big Brother. Now, The Amazing Race is getting in on the all-star act.

CBS has confirmed that the 11th edition of the round the world reality show will bring back some—though not all—of the series' biggest names, for The Amazing Race: All-Stars. And the excluded teams have had no qualms in expressing their outrage.

Perennial reality show also-ran Rob Mariano and former Survivor champ Amber Brkich have been tapped to return for yet another shot at unscripted glory, as has Amazing duo David and Mary Conley, aka Team Kentucky from the most recent edition of the Emmy-winning series.

Strongly rumored to be joining the foursome are season five faves, couple Colin Guinn and Christie Woods (that season's runners-up) and cousins Mirna Hindoyan and Charla Faddoul.

Generating far more reaction, however, is who has not been chosen to compete.

The perpetually bickering season six couple Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller, who landed their own Dr. Phil prime-time special such was the interest in their relationship, will not return, nor will season nine winners BJ Averell and Tyler MacNiven, or season five winners, married couple Chip and Kim McAllister, arguably one of the most popular teams from the series' 10 seasons.

At least to hear them tell it.

A video post to their joint MySpace blog last month, which was removed after less than a day, lashed out at Amazing Race producers for excluding them from the all-star installment.

"I don't want to sugarcoat this or anything, there is definitely going to be an Amazing Race: All-Stars, they will be starting within the next few days and Kim and I never got a phone call from anyone, not from [the executive producers], not from CBS, not from anyone," Chip said.

"We have run the gamut of emotions. I hate to be one of these kind of people that thinks he's entitled to be an All-Star—I may not actually, Kim and I may not be All-Stars material—but to be completely forgotten by CBS and the CBS decision makers...it really doesn't feel good. We could have been contacted."

While he may have got the sentiment right, his timeline was slightly off.

According to Variety, Amazing Race: All-Stars began filming just last week in Miami. But Chip and Kim weren't the only non-invitees to express their disappointment.

Season nine winners BJ and Tyler, who incidentally sent fan forums into a frenzy this spring when homoerotic photos of them with fellow Racers Jeremy Ryan and Eric Sanchez were leaked online, sounded off on their exclusion via CBS.com's Former Racers Blog, where the duo were meant to be offering commentary on the show's 10th season.

"What would be ironic is if someone were putting together an all-star version of the race and contacted teams like [season seven teams] Lynn & Alex and Brian & Greg, but did not contact us, the most popular and amazing team of all time, about it," Tyler wrote in a post last month.

"Trust me, if they were doing that, they would contact us," BJ added. "We were the most well-liked team ever to compete on the Race...I'm sure they wouldn't just pick a gimmicky team like Rob & Amber, or a 'competitive' team like Colin & Christie, and turn their backs on friendly winning teams like us and Chip & Kim, leaving us to find out about it from some gossip site."Right.

While no other competitors have yet been confirmed, most seasons are expected to be represented with the exception of the eighth, widely panned family edition.

The all-star race, to be once again hosted by Phil Keoghan, is expected to kick off early next year, ensuring "gimmicky" couple Rob and Amber will be unavoidable in reality TV land. The twosome will appear in their own Newlywed-type show, dubbed Rob and Amber: Against the Odds, on the Fox Reality Channel in January.

No mention in the weekly log (http://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/061123/filming.shtml), but that's not necessarily significant; the mayor's office has done favors for WRP before (or maybe the people updating the website are having a bad week  ;D). Someone who lives in the area (or has phone skills) can take a run at the film office; the last time I called them I got a frosty reception. As far as RT goes, the Florida and California corporations with that name are either kaput or unrelated; there's an RT Delaware corporation, but it's hard to get any useful info on Delaware corps.

If Dustin and Kandice are on the race, they will be the only all-female team there.
I'm out of the loop here. Did one of Charla and Mirna get a sex change?

i kinda figured mirna was man. i'm sure marshal and lance felt the same way  :nods :lol: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

I meant from seasons 6-10, as they are the seasons I watched and the only teams I knew. I didn't really look through the other seasons. I forgot to mention that on my other post.

I beg to differ with Chip. The All-star race isn't about who's popular. It's about the balance of the cast. You can't have all popular teams in the race. You'll have a situation where you don't know who to root for! The producers will want a mix of popular teams, controversial teams and sacrificial lambs, and rightly so.

And speaking of popularity, it is a subjective term. I think that Chip may be referring to teams like Romber and Colin/Christie. But actually, they were my favorites in their seasons. I didn't quite like Chip's team in his season though. :)

I really hope they WIN this time... it's high time Mr. Mariano you win one!!  :lol3:

I checked the flights to UIO from MIA and it looks like the two direct flights are almost only about 1 hour apart... and BOTH are AA flights.
They usually only give flights that are a little over 1 hour apart right?

Writing the last chapter in the Trish Stratus on TAR story... apparently the agent who said she was going to be on the Race had TAR mixed up with this CBS show (http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061127/LOCAL/611270433) about celebrities being cops in Muncie, Indiana. I can see how you'd make that mistake.  :lol:

First of all
congrats for living the dream and
racing on an amazing race.
Second.
I am sorry but with no country to country and
continent to  continent exausting travel  and airport issues
and with the types of
road blocks that werent used in the familiy edition (for obvious reasons)
you honestly did not experience a real  road block challenge
plus you didn't have the nastiness of teams like regular races
you had the annoying Florida family :lol3:
I'm sorry just my opinion
but I'm still applaud you for doing the family race
and im sure as a couple you and bill would probably
enjoy running a regular race.

I can not confirm it.  I would love to see them get another chance at winning, but they were philiminated in sixth place.    Mary went on the race because she wanted a new home for her kids to grow up in and thanks to Champion Homes and Rosie she got her dream. :hearts:  She also wanted to prove to her husband that she could run the race with him as she did. :woohoo:  Thanks so much for the nice words about my sister.  She truly is a great person and my best friend.  :jumpy:

This is definitely the most convincing sighting yet:

That sucks hardcore, given Colin/Christie, along with the Frats and Guidos, are in that tiny group of teams that 99.9% of everyone would agree should be on the show.

I am surprising myself because I think...I'm kind of sorry.
I was looking forward to seeing how this team, in particular, would cope with the 6/6 rule.
And if we HAVE to have Romber, I would have loved to see Rob/Colin face to face.

I'm sure they are delighted, and I wish them every joy, but man...for Colin, the timing couldn't be worse.

Hi to all. I'm doing a trip through South America and I'm now in Ushuaia, Argentina (southern most city in the world).

About an hour ago Bill and Joe (Team Guido) entered an internet cafe/calling center (locutorio) with a cameraman and a soundman. They wanted to call a few airlines (Aerolinas Argentinas and South African Airlines). I guess they are heading to South Africa then. I said Hi to them but they didn't answered. The cameraman looked pissed because I took a few pictures. I asked him if it was TAR all-star but he said nothing. When they got out I said good luck guys and Bill smiled. End of the story. I don't have any more information about any other teams. I will try to look around town tonight to see if I can spot another team or two.

Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I was in a rush and the cameraman was intimidating!

But could we compress it a little, take away the extended pitstop,--because if we could get two extra days they could go to ANTARCTICA! and that way they could say TAR has visited all 7 continents! :yess:  They are at the "gateway" to Antarctica--they have to go!  Heee...who has a friend in Antarctica?? :lol:

Things to do in Ushuaia, ARgentina:

See
Museo Marítimo, Yagones y Gobernador Paz [1]. Located in an old prison displays a collection of the history of Tierra del Fuego.
Estancia Haberton - Open only in the summer months, Estancia Haberton is a worthwhile trip for those interested in the Bridges family and their role in the local history.
Presidio - Museum of the historical military prison of Ushuaia.
Do
Hike the Glacier Martial - Provided that you wear comfortable shoes and have the patience, a hike up the Glacier Martial will provide a very beautiful view of Ushuaia and the Beagle Chanel. There is also a single ski slope open during the winter months, and ski hire is available from the site.
Catamaran trips - Catamaran trips will take you around the Beagle channel and give you nice views of the mountains, cormorants, sea lions and penguins.
Tierra del Fuego National Park - This national park provide some nice day hikes on well marked trails.
Cerro Castor - This centre for winter sports offers skiing and snowboarding. Nearby, you can also ride snowcats or husky sleighs.
Kayak the Beagle Channel - Kayaks can be hired near the Aeroparque on the promontory jutting out from Ushuaia.

Remember Argentina is currently ending Spring, going into Summer in December. 

I can really see them hiking the Glacier.  Sounds like fun. :yess:

Yay spoilers! And yay Antarctica! :yess:

Not too many options from Ushuaia; the only substantial towns linked to it are Buenos Aires and Bariloche. Aerolineas Argentinas doesn't seem to fly to Africa, and South African doesn't fly to Argentina; the best Guido can do is connect in Europe or Brazil.

Does anyone know how the clock works on Sucks? Argentina doesn't run on daylight saving, and is two hours ahead of EST. Here are flights offered by Aerolineas Argentinas to Buenos Aires one week later; I've cleared those options that I don't think teams could make.

Sucks Date Stamp: 5.19pm
East Coast Time: 6.19pm
Argentina Time: 8.19pm
Sighting of Guidos: 7.19pm

Sunrise was at 4.59am, sunset 9.45pm, so Banzai's post at Sucks about the daylight checks out...

Edited to add: They've done Johannesburg, they've done Cape Town. It almost HAS to be Durban!

Here's the album (http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p147/ushuaiasighter/) with the exif data; whether the camera is set to the correct time is another matter.
I hate to be a wet blanket about Antarctica (I'd be the first to cheer if it was true), but arranging a trip there would be really expensive.

I have two opinions on the pictures
1. the guidos are in first place and ahead of everyone else
or
2. they are in last and fighting to catch back up

my reasons
the picture taker is a TAR fan (admitted) and knows teams
he stated he was going to stick around the area and look for more teams
and report back. if he doesnt have more to report in the next day
then 1. or 2. is correct
hopefully he  post's more pictures of teams he spots :jumpy:
i really hope the guidos arent lagging behind again like the last leg in  season 1

So for sure the following teams have actually been spotted:

1. Rob and Amber
2. Charla and Mirma
3. The Guidos
4. Kimi and Karli
5. Millie and Chuck
6. John Vito and Jill

We have half of the teams spotted already.!!!!  :jumpy:

I'd take Kami/Karli & Millie/Chuck with a grain of salt. Not a whole lot of credence to that sighting.

I dunno, Slowhatch -- I mean, CBS has a few bucks to throw around. I bet they could afford to send 75 people to Antarctica for a couple days...
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?
Post by: woden on November 29, 2006, 08:15:20 AM
Just because I can...  ;) Here's an early route spec based on some fact and the following rampant speculation...

1. I don't think they'd get that close to Antarctica just for kicks. Tours and cruises go to Antarctica all the time -- I think they'll go for it.

2. And Jo-burg is listed just because it's the most likely city of entry into S. Africa.

So there ya go...take it FWIW as the first route spec of the new season.  ;)

EP01: Miami, FL {USA} to Quito, Ecuador
FILMING DATES: November 20-21, 2007
EVIDENCE: Teams spotted in MIA waiting at gate A7 for Quito
TASKS: UNKNOWN
TEAMS: Rob/Amber, John Vito/Jill, Charla/Mirna, Guidos spotted

EP02: Quito, Ecuador to Ushuaia, Argentina
FILMING DATES: November 22-24, 2007
EVIDENCE:
TASKS: UNKNOWN
TEAMS: UNKNOWN

EP03: Ushuaia, Argentina to Antarctica
FILMING DATES: November 25-27, 2007
EVIDENCE: SPECULATION; Teams may be coming to Ushuaia from Antarctica
TASKS: UNKNOWN
TEAMS: UNKNOWN

EP04: Antarctica to Johannesburg, South Africa
FILMING DATES: November 28-PRESENT
EVIDENCE: Guidos spotted in Internet Café in Ushuaia, looking for information from South African Air
TASKS: Teams {at least the Guidos} return to Ushuaia to secure travel to South Africa
TEAMS: Guidos

How do you get tea out of a keyboard?? It is all your fault sups--that is hysterical!
I thought the original reference was funny (I think they were referring to no expedition type clothing supplied, but it came across a little differently in translation!)--but yours is the best! : :rotf:

And good job starting the timeline mwooden--I think if they are that close they MUST be going to Antarctica.

I was thinking La Paz, Bolivia would make a good stopover between Quito and Ushuaia--has TAR been there before?

It is in between geographically, is at a very high elevation, is scenic, has interesting ruins, and greeters!

They're not necessarily way ahead or behind -- they're at an Internet cafe, not the airport. The other teams might not go to the cafe.

Reply   Re: TAR - All-Stars - Official Spoiler Thread
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Hi, me again. A few more informations:

The locutario where the pics were taken was at the corner of 25 de Mayo and San Martin in Ushuaia. It was taken at about 19h15 Ushuaia time (17h15 NYC). The sunset here is at about 22h15.

The girl is definetly not Emily. Sorry guys. It was just a Fern.

It still takes a long time to get to Antarctica from Ushuaia, by boat at least (a few days). So if they went to Antartica, it was by small planes.

I spent the last 2 days around town and haven't seen anybody else. I also went to most of the landmarks in Ushuaia yesterday evening to try to find a pitstop, detour or roadblock, without sucess. And Ushuaia is not a big town, so I guess they just stopped in town to call. The others might have gone straight to the airport. Bill and Joe probably arrived by bus because the buses around here drop you at the corner of Maipu and 25 de Mayo. The locutario they were in would be the first you see after being dropped from a bus. So I guess the pitstop was eather in the Tierra del Fuego Natl Park, or maybe at Estancia Harberton (the biggest and oldest estancia in Tierra del Fuego, typical TAR pitstop).

I think they already had their plane tickets out of Ushuaia to probably Buenos Aires. It's a pain to get out of Ushuaia by eather plane or bus these days. You have to book way in advance. So it would be impossible for 8-9 teams + crew to just hop on a plane. So I guess the tickets were handed to them, with 2 or 3 departing times.

I was thinking about going to the airport but in a way didn't want to be a stalker. The crew was definitly aware I took pictures and that I was listening. They would have known I was there to spoil it all and I probably would have had some problems with them.

Finally, the guidos didn't look like they were in a really good mood. They had their serious face. It doesn't really indicate anything but they might have been at the middle or the back of the pack
.

And puddin    that's how hard I laughed this AM with sups naked plane ride!

Let's say that they arrived at the Ushuaia airport by way of chartered flights from Antartica (that having been the Pit Stop).  The Guidos then hop on a bus-to-town at the airport to gather info while they wait for takeoff.  They could have picked up the fern at the airport.  The fern told them about the internet cafe.

It's just hypothetical.   :jam:

One of us could have hopped a flight from JFK to South Africa and beat them!   :lol:

everyone seems to have sources  :lol:..what the hell?

just rampant rumors (http://realitytvcalendar.com/recaps/tar11/tar11-sp01-p1.html)
First off let's get to who we know. My sources tell me that five teams were spotted in a Miami airport heading for South America. Those five teams are Joe and Bill (Team Guido TAR 1), John Vito and Jill (TAR 3), Charla and Mirna (TAR 5), and of course Rob and Amber (TAR 7). There was also another male/female team but there was no definite confirmation on their identity. According to another source the mysterious fifth team is none other than Jon and Kris, one of my all time favorite teams. It is unknown if this group was in the lead pack or if they were in the back. Since most seasons of TAR start off in the states, I would bet that Miami is the first leg of the race.

I have been getting emails left and right with speculation and info. After gathering all the information together here is who I believe some of the other teams are:

Kevin and Drew (the frat boys TAR 1): both have been missing from their jobs and were asked to appear in season 8 as the hot dog vendor/clue givers.
Uchenna and Joyce (TAR 7)
David and Mary (Team Kentucky TAR 10)
Dustin and Kandice (The Queens, the Barbies, the blondes, TAR 10)

Of course with every season there are misleading spoilers. Here is a list of possible teams that may have made it. There is no creditable evidence yet, just rampant rumors:

Oswald and Danny (TAR 2)
Tian and Jaree (TAR 4)
Dave and Lori (TAR 9)
Ray and Yolanda (TAR 9)
Emily and Nancy (TAR 1

Another loose end:
If you bring up the Dade permit site that Kogs found, follow the dialog pages as if you were applying for a permit and enter the name "rt technologies" when asked, you get the name of
Robin Tedesco (also spelled Robyn) as a contact. Since there's no related business with that name, it's probably just a little humor on their part.

 :cmas10 Been thinking (yeah, I do that sometimes :cmas20 )

But if the teams do make a trip to Antarctica, it would have to be just a long ride by boat and then return.  Take up at least a days worth of travel.  The only flights are from New Zealand (Christchurch) and are not open for tourists.  No flights from Punta Arenas and no place to land on Palmer Penninsula. So I doubt that they make it to their seventh continent this trip

It's possible, I suppose. The company mentioned (as well as others) contracts through ANI (http://www.adventure-network.com/interactivemap.asp?navid=6&id=30), which flies from Punta Arenas to the Patriot hills (and here (http://www.icemarathon.com/live/145.html) are some very strange people who will fly a week from now down to Antarctica to run a marathon  :crazy:). I just don't think it's likely. If anyone wants to take a chance, here (http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/antarctica_communications.htm) is a list of blog, podcasts and webcams that can be searched and here (http://antarcticsun.usap.gov/2006-2007/contentHandler.cfm?id=1105) is the weekly paper with news from around the continent.

According to another source the mysterious fifth team is none other than Jon and Kris, one of my all time favorite teams. It is unknown if this group was in the lead pack or if they were in the back. Since most seasons of TAR start off in the states, I would bet that Miami is the first leg of the race.

Post by: valor boreal on December 05, 2006, 07:42:43 AM
Here’s my analysis of the posts (from on here, TARflies, and sucks) regarding who the racers on All Stars are. I could be completely wrong.

teams spotted in Miami:
Bill and Joe (TAR1)
John Vito and Jill (TAR3)
Charla and Mirna (TAR5)
Rob and Amber (TAR7)

Additional teams listed as confirmed on TARflies:
Kevin and Drew (TAR1)
Teri and Ian (TAR3)
Dustin and Kandice (TAR10)
David and Mary (TAR10)

The inclusion of Kris and Jon (TAR6) makes 5 teams NOT on Chip’s original list, with 3 teams left (1 each from TAR2, TAR4, and TAR9).

The team from TAR4 is believed to be Tian and Jaree (who are on Chip's list).

TAR2: 2 teams on Chip’s list –
Shola and Doyin (who are listed as appearing at the West Coast finale party)
Blake and Paige

TAR9: 2 teams on Chip’s list –
BJ and Tyler (BJ appearing at finale party, Tyler running across Iran)
Eric and Jeremy

If Uchenna and Joyce (who are on Chip’s list) are racing, then it would mean (using the assumption of 12 teams, with at least 1 team from each season except for the family edition) that one of Kevin/Drew, Teri/Ian and David/Mary is not racing. This would support the post on sucks suggesting that Oswald and Danny are racing (rather than Blake and Paige).

This leaves (if U&J are not racing):
Bill and Joe
Kevin and Drew
Blake and Paige
Teri and Ian
John Vito and Jill
Tian and Jaree
Charla and Mirna
Kris and Jon
Rob and Amber
Eric and Jeremy
Dustin and Kandice
David and Mary

Want to know who is !NOT! on Amazing Race All Stars???
These folks seem to be hiding for some odd reason but ARE NOT racing.
Chip and Kim-Jonathan and Victoria-BJ and Tyler.
Not sure their reasoning for no longer posting, but they're at home...chillin'.
Random attempt at self promotion to get their names going on websites? Perhaps. Pathetic if that's the case? Yes

Well I only scanned it for this info:

"We don't want to tell repeat stories," explains CBS programming exec Ghen Maynard. "We looked for the people who would continue to be the most compelling-those with new goals for their relationship or whose relationships have changed in interesting ways."
Maynard also promises the return of some great " characters" and those that "played" the game in the most compelling ways.

Another loose end:
If you bring up the Dade permit site that Kogs found, follow the dialog pages as if you were applying for a permit and enter the name "rt technologies" when asked, you get the name of
Robin Tedesco (also spelled Robyn) as a contact. Since there's no related business with that name, it's probably just a little humor on their part.

But seriously most of the talk on this board even when we talk about why we like teams or don't like teams, or who we want on theh show and who we don't is handled in a much more adut manner.

A: Check out http://www.cbs.com/sprint/video.php for their exit words....and if you are looking for them to be on national TV, like some others were...maybe they are not on this national medium because they are on ALL STARS…whoops did I say that….or busy with other things…what else could they be doing....mmmm…me thinks ALL STARS.

Post by: mswood on December 08, 2006, 11:31:59 PM
As much as I think Eric & jeremy absolutely belong on an All Star series (i mean the easily have the best record of all the teams, by a wide margin).

I don't want to see Eric & Danielle.

I don't care for the idea of mixing teams.

I still would love to hear a reason for not a single alpha male team.

When their are several quality racing teams they could have chosen from.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ?

Post by: mswood on December 09, 2006, 03:04:05 AM
Yeah, I no there is no chance of them being on the season as a team.

And that there has been some minor talk about eric and Danielle racing as a team.

And frankly I don't want to see it, unless it was Jeremy's choice (which I seriously doubt) and even then I am agains't it on principle.

I mean for both team members if htey actually did something like that it would really suck.  I would be pissed if I was Dani or Jeremy.

And while Dani & Danielle raced terribly, Eric & Jeremy didn't it.  So I would feel even more pissed If I was Jeremy and this happened.

And hopefully if doesn't.  Better no team from season nine the a hybrid team.

Post by: asamber1 on December 09, 2006, 09:55:51 AM
I would die if Danielle was on over Dani.  Danielle was the one that cried all the time, and was not as hot as Dani. 

I thought i read Chip saying NO WINNERS ARE ON ARAS on the blog, when i went to look back it was gone.  I really dont think Uchenna and Joyce are on the race. I think its this

1. Joe and Bill
2. Kevin and Drew
3. Oswlad and Danny
4. Teri and Ian
5. John Vito and Jill
6. Tian and Jaree
7. Charla and Mirna
8. Kris and Jon
9. Rob and Amber
10. Danielle and Eric  [Really who else from AR9 can be there, maybe Fran and Barry?]
11. David and Mary
12. Dustin and Kandice

Is their anyway maybe its Lori and Bolo,  over Kris and Jon?? I have heard nothing but spec. about Kirs and Jon, more like wishful hopeing.  I haerd LB got divorced [again dont know if its really true] but JVJ broke up too, and they are still on it.

Someone said Eric and Jeremy are not on already, Blake and Paige were home for Thankigiving, it cant really be MC or KJ becuase we already have 12 teams, and already a rep from season 4 [a bad one to say the least]  AL said they wanted NO alpha males on the race.

Who can be thats 7th team off Chip's list, i can only come up with Lori and Bolo???
If Eric/Danielle are on the race would Chip count Eric as a correct team for him?? I woudl have think he would have said 6.5.

Joseph [of MOJO] said 3 people from his season are on All Stars, wierd i know.

I really think Danielle/Eric could have been mistaken for JVJ.  For one Danielle and Jill both from Statin Island, Danielle with those streaks in her hair could be seen as blonde [Remember the "Blonde" Danielle on Survivor Exile Island].  Danielle is prolly much shorter than Eric, also Danille has more wavy hair, Jill's is more strait.

Jackie

Seriously this team better be on.  I need at least one of my favorite two teams to make it.

What is the other one?  :cmas29

I'm so glad John Vito and Jill are in it. It'll be great to see Kris/Jon again as well. :jam:

I wish Dave/Lori and Hayden/Aaron were in TARAS as well.


Eric & Jeremy.

Yeah I the two teams I love are probably the nicest loving couple team and two horny bastards, go figure.

And while I love Dave & Lori I just don't think they are all star material.  Same With John Vito & Jill (another couple I really liked who went far, but never raced that well).

Hayden & Aaron based on performance should at least be considered.

No, there's no way we will.

Last season when we got one for TAR10 or when it was 8 for 9...whichever they were already done making the season. I highly doubt that there concerned abouta  promo when there in _________ filming a roadblock or w/e.

i can gaurantee you its easy to do.
since everything is being filmed all they have to do is
piece  clips of  the tape they have already shot together
and put in phils voice over and TaDa you have a promo
Trust me on this
its possible
If it happens who knows but I can tell you
its really easy to do one

ok... I just finished watching the race... and they had a ten second - "Do not blink" preview

I thought I saw the clowns- but I could be wrong- it might have been kevin

was it just me- or was that the hippies that I saw? I definitly thought I saw the hippies (I thought Tyler was doing I ran Iran.... unless that was all  a huge coverup- someone did mention they saw someone with a big hat at one of the airports (and thats a classic hippy sign))

If what puddin put up in tonights thread is an indication they put up a lot of teams (far more then could ever be on the race.

So  Take that with a big grain of salt.

And I am still pissed that I Didn't get a preview and just got the credits.

He/she said  Charla & Mirna, Oswald & Danny, BQ's, And Eric & Danielle.


THoughts.

I Love Charla  hated Mirna, but for half a season they raced very well.

Oswald & Danny very surprised and one of my favorte of all time teams, but not a racing team.  Lacks a lot of drive that otehr teams had.  I figured tehm to be 2cd or 3rd team out.

BQ's,  Not really surprised.  I would still rather see them get to final three then any other female team (based on ability, Linda & Karen on personality).

Eric & Danielle..  Sorry but I love Eric.  Part of my favorite team.  But I am still very upset about a hybrid team.  The only positive about this hybrid at least is that Danielle was part of very poor performing team.  ANd it isn't say Eric and Colin, or some insane team like that.

There five teams in this leg because I'm a good listener.

again, since I did not personally see the fifth team, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt..

with the fifth team, it's not an eye-witness account like the other four, so I can't confirm if what I heard was true.. so y'all can still speculate. :)

Jackie I would be very surprised if they didn't make it.

But making it and going as far int eh race are two different things.

As a big suporter of Eric & Jeremy for example and how well they did in season 9.  They could easily make an error in the first leg and get eliminated.  There are so many facotrs.

Look at this season where Peter & Sarah were neck and neck with Tyer & James and both have a huge navigation error in Kuwait.  One recovered from it and one didn't.

The many steps that lead up to the Hindu temple at Batu Caves (http://www.travelpod.com/cgi-bin/guest.pl?tweb_UID=mctrax&tweb_tripID=se_asia_05-06&tweb_entryID=1137112800&tweb_PID=tpod). North of Kuala Lumpur



The  Batu Caves are situated thirteen kilometers (seven miles) north of the capital city Kuala Lumpur. They are the sacred place for the Hindu's in Malaysia. They consist of three main caves and a number of smaller ones. The caves are made of limestone and 400 meters long and 100 meter high. They were discovered in 1892. From your hotel in the Golden Triangle you can reach the Batu Caves easily by taxi or public bus (11 and 11d). The public busses can be boarded at the Pudu Raya Bus Terminal in Kuala Lumpur.
At your arrival you will be greeted by lots of monkeys. They are going for your peanuts and banana's, which  you can buy in several shop, before you climb up to the caves. You have to climb 272 steps, which will lead you to the religious and magnificent Batu Caves.

Puddin I kid cause I love.

Take your two teams,  I didn't dislike either of tehm.  In fact at times I really liked both those teams.  

Rob & AMber liked becasue they raced well, and got along well, and weren't direspectful to the countries or locals they were in.  But they lost me by not stopping nad even asking if everyone was okay.  It crossed a line in competition that I think shouldn't be crossed.  But if that didn't happen and there wasn't quite so much focus on them(and particular him) I would ahve really liked to see this team win.

For the Hippies, a little too much energy that over time just wore me down.  Plus I have a rule ever since Flo, you get saved by two non eliminations and I don't want you to win.  And didn't care for some of the moments with other teams towards the end.

But I hope with Rob & Amber this time we get a little more moderation where I actually can appreciate his swarmy, cocky nature.  Because I liked how he played it.

Rock on cha Cha cha's :jam: :yess:
I cant help but believe the pictures
but i don't buy the final 5 teams
1.personally think theres more legs than normal in an all star season I.E all continents touched and its airing 1 month later than normal  time lugs between races
2.how do we know this isn't a road block and other teams are somewhere else completing a task?
3. how do we know that this Izad person isn't reveling in his 15mins over there and speaking out of his ass to get more innuendo going? to watch everyone freak out at his word?
4. and don't get me wrong on this one because I loved chmirna i even teared up with Phil when they got eliminated in there race  BUT their race was different than later seasons and most of the tasks in the newer races would have made Charla a liability ( i cant see her climbing an ascender and repelling)without major difficulty
and I could go on and on.
5. I believe he was at a task and other teams were at another and his eavesdropping is total bull   






YAYYYY FOR DUSTIN & KANDICE!!! I really hope that they become the first female team to actually WIN.

Crappity crap! I'm in the middle of my holidays, I SO have could have picked Malaysia! (And here I am in Laos waiting for TPTB, thinking this is the only country left in SE Asia that they would choose...)

And I've been to those steps so many times!

*sobs*

Should I fly over to KLIA now?



Puddin, I think the first photo you posted was a picture of Pudu Bus Station, in the city of Kuala Lumpur proper. Dustin/Kandice's bus station is just the big square outside of the Batu Caves, nothing too special about that one. There's no public transport to the caves (in the race context anyway), so teams must have got there by taxi.

Godsmack

First we don't know how many continents they are going to.  We are just speculating without any factual evidence that we would finally like to see Antartica.

As for what type of taks it is Detour/Roadblock general tasks before getting to route marker.  They might have over heard or saw teams.  If both fo it that eliminatesthe roadblock as a possability. 

As for an expanded race.  Don't count on it.  Primarily for onereason:  $$$$

This show is a shwow that doesn't generate much income besides original broadcast.  No online sales, no real DVD sales, ect.  It isn't a big ratings generator.  As it is they already have remors that they fees paid to the teams depending on when they are eliminated have been increased to secure teams (soemthing they also did with Bib brotehr and Survivors.

As for number of teams they say 5, and thats very consistent with how far in the race they should be.

Its too many to be a decoy route.

As for the racers being up to the physical tasks.  Charla for example was very tough (much tougher then Mirna was).  And in all the tasks done in this last season only two could I see her having great trouble with.  The rope ladder climbing.  The rope rungs might be to far apart for her stature.  And teh rowing of hte boat.  But if you due it properly only takes one, so Mirna can pony up.

As far as repelling, can be done, climbing ladders (she did in season 5 while carrying stuff), using ascinders.  Shouldn't be a problem.  She just can't move her legs as far up in one attempt as a normal statured person could.  In other words a lot of baby steps.  Swimming (nope they always provide life vests if needed), lifitn (She handled that slab a beef pretty good, and often carried both packs).  Really the hardest thing for her would be a sustained run.  But most everything else shouldn't be unsermountable.  And rememebr just like Sarah was able to benefit from her disability so can Charla.  That extra time can be used to offset other difficulties.

But I would guess the spoilers are extremely accurate.  I might beleive one other team in teh mix (for a total of 6), but thats about it.

And with the absence of a single alpha male team (which still annoys me to no end) seems that her limitation shouldn't be overwhelming.

To be honest I'm happy with seeing Danny and Oswald and the BQ's  :yess: two of my top three teams of all time :yess:
but I will go by my gut feeling and believe its 6 and the spoiler isn't 100%
Because this could have been a fast forward leg

Post by: mswood on December 11, 2006, 04:23:14 AM
If the person was accurate, then it won't be a Fast Forward leg.

Since this was supposed to be the first thing in Maylasia after traveelling form Poland the Fast Forward clue is normally right before the event.  So it would have been there and they shuold have overheard prodcution (which does stay in contact witht he teams) to let htem no of their progress.

Just curious Godsmack why are you convinced that their is a 6 team?  Is it becasue you want another team in the mix, or just a gut feeling.

Because time wise, its awful late in race even if they had 13 players to still have 6 races.

Looks like 5 continents are confirmed -- North America (Miami), South America (Ecuador, Argentina), Africa (South Africa), Europe (Poland), and the way the route is going Oceania (Australia/New Zealand) is a distinct possibility. Add in the fact that Ushuaia (gateway to Antarctica) is on the route, methinks we have a 7-continent race.  :nods

I also think we're looking at a 13 team minimum, between teams that are confirmed/highly rumored. Which would make sense, because to get from Miami (November 20) to Kuala Lumpur (December 10) with normal filming lengths, pit stops, etc, we need that many teams with no NEL's for the first several legs just to get DOWN to 5 teams by the Malaysia leg.

Just to answer one of the questions above, I strongly believe this was at the beginning of the leg, so if the fifth team came in late, they might still have had time to catch up (especially if this was a non-elimination round, who knows).

And bear in mind, the info that I have on the fifth team is still really anyone's guess since there are no photographic evidence and I didn't actually see them there.

Well just based on the general feeling people had about people who have already one a million.  I would assumee everyone would be happy if Rob & Amber and Uchenna & JOyce (if they are on) meet a quick end to the race.

Nothing agains't either teams personaity.  But in general I think the racers would zero in on that aspect.

As for attitude being a factor if the teams ahve paid any real attention to the show, then I would assume teams would like to get rid of Rob & AMber, Charla & Mirna and the Guido's, and to a much lesser extent Dustin & Kandice.

I'm still a little iffy about this info though.. Does anyone know when/if the race has actually started? it wouldn't make sense for them to start flying into Malaysia if it's still early in the show, would it?

More info from my intel.. they will be in Malaysia from the 9th to 12th December. I'm trying to find out where exactly the roadblocks/detours will be so I can have more than one chance of getting their pictures.

Have I missed something?  When did we have a confirmed sighting in Warsaw, Poland?

Big gap between Quito and Ushuaia, Argentina could actually mean that the teams did indeed travel to their seventh continent.  Or it could mean a stop in Bogota, Columbia on the way to Ushuaia.

Trip to Johannesburg, South Africa could just be a route marker on the way to some location in Africa that TAR has not gone to before (since they have  been to South Africa and Botswana).  Could be stops in Sierra Leone, Ghana, or Liberia. Or perhaps Zimbabwe. 

All Stars seems to be headed to places TAR has not been before.  This could mean perhaps stops in Ireland, Slovakia, Romania (search for Dracula's Castle - Bran Castle in Sinaia - Bulgaria besides  Poland; then on to Nepal or Tibet; we then get a sighting in Malaysia. 

Then could go on to Tasmania and through the Pacific to such places as Tahiti, Fiji, Guam or Samoa.

Could continue on through the Caribbean and end up in Miami.

Let's alert people in Miami to watch for teams during the week of Dec. 18.  Believe that TAR and TPTB would want to be home by Christmas. And typical 30 - 31 day shoot would bring an end on Dec. 20 or 21.

Post by: mswood on December 11, 2006, 09:43:05 PM
Poland is like South Africa an overheard mention of where teams were headed (South Africa) or where teams ahd been (Poland).

But in both cases those could just be conection hubs to other places,  We don't have any idea if actual legs of the race happened in those two countries.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: gingerman28 on December 11, 2006, 09:47:55 PM
If TARAS is going to new places on the most part, Warsaw or Krakow Poland would be good choices. Lots of interesting sites and things to do in both places.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: asamber1 on December 11, 2006, 09:54:27 PM
So many great places the race has yet to visit, they need to go to Ireland, they should go back to Spain [10 Season to finally go there and they only did 1/2 a leg], they need to go to Fiji, Papua New Guinna[sp] would be nice i think, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Lion, Algeria maybe for African Countires.  there is a picture of Algeria in my spanish class, and it looked nice, once i heard where it was thought i was like oh maybe not.   Maybe even Isreal, Nepal or Tibet would also be nice.   I also think for the first part of the final leg, they should go to Cabo, Acopulco [Both Mexico], Guam, or Bahamas, dont know if they can go to Cuba [if they could they should].  I thought another reality show did go to Cuba i forget though, for some reason i think Road Rules did but i might be wrong.

Many of the places you listed they can't go too...Papua New Guinea, Israel, Mali, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone are too dangerous and now recently Fiji also with the military coup.

Also I guess your Canadian because Americans aren't allowed to go into Cuba and vice versa, because of the whole communism/dictatorship they haven't been able to go to Cuba since the 1960's.

Yesterday, David Conley's stepmother, Mattie Conley, said the couple left Nov. 15 to film the all-star edition. However, she said that no one in the Conley family knows where David and Mary are or how they are fairing in the latest competition.

Mattie Conley said that the couple are only allowed to contact the person with whom their three children are staying while they are away. She said that although the kids stayed with her and their grandfather during David and Mary's original stint on the Amazing Race, they are now staying with Mary's sister while they are filming the all-star edition. When they call to check on the children, Mattie Conley said David and Mary are only allowed to say that they are doing well. They cannot disclose their location nor can they say whether or not they are still competing in the race.

Mattie Conley said David and Mary are expected to be back home before Christmas.

It would help to get some more location pictures.  Already, from the camera times we have Charla and Mirna about 2 hours 40 min ahead of Eric & Danielle.  The Cha's shot was from a different camera set with the wrong date.  The shadows may help sort it out.  But I need to know which way is North!   :cmas11

I thought you couldnt go to Cuba directly from USA, no US flights can go to Cuba, however i thought you can go from connecting, like you could fly to London, and then go to Cuba.

Papua New Guinea i believe was in a interview with Phil as a place he would like to visit.  this interview was from right after AR7. 
Tel Aviv and Jereuslam Isreal i think are pretty safe, i know of tons of people that go to Isreal, i know someonw who went on a Honeymoon there, and got married, the race spending what 2 days there wouldnt be too dangerious.

And to be honest now a days what country is really "safe" to travel too?  USA has had what 4 plain hyjackings in one day, never heard of it anywhere else since, London bombings, and Spain bombings the race still goes to those places.

Fiji i still think is safe even with the coup.  Survivor finished filming there [even with the coup going on] they didnt ship out.  Real World also deff. went to Fiji a few years ago.

It doesnt really matter though.  I kind of just want them to go to Ireland, and Croatia the most!  They prolly wont though those places are better suited for good weather not almost winter weather.

It doesnt really matter though.  I kind of just want them to go to Ireland, and Croatia the most!  They prolly wont though those places are better suited for good weather not almost winter weather.

i lived in between jerusalem and tel aviv for 2 years and yes they are both safe.

(2 hour gap)
The Chas
(10 minutes gap)
The BQs
(30 minutes gap)
Eric/Danielle.

and no, on the Hong Kong sighting

Colby's right. The date on the other camera wasn't set properly.
The Chas arrived at exactly 10:00am which means they were pretty close with the BQs.
Though Charla/Mirna has a huge 2 hour lead, don't go nuts yet and discount the possibility of them having an equalizer after this route marke (as mentioned by TVIS).

The lat-long for the BatCave are easy enough to get from places like this (http://www.tagzania.com/item/33244). And judging from photos like this (http://www.pbase.com/image/58131614), which shows the freeway in the background, I'd guess (and it's only a guess) that the main staircase points NorthEast.
ETA: I wouldn't make much of the anomalous Kodak setting; a lot of electronic gizmos default to New Year's Day if the clock hasn't been set.

DUSTYGIRL, My source is confidential, but got it from someone in Hong Kong who actually saw them there. Regretfully, I have no other details and do not know the others teams there.


Could it be that Dustin and Kandice and Oswald and Danny are in Hong Kong as SEQUESTERVILLE?  That would mean that Charla and Mirna and Eric and Danielle and the unnamed 5th team are the final three.

Just supposing since TARAS seems to be going to all new places this time around.

Yeah you can really see her facial features thats Danielle no question.


As for the rumor of Hong Kong.  It is almost immpossible that 2 teams could be eliminated that quickly.  I might go back and check if we have ever had to legs that didn't require at least two days to film.

ANd depending on how far the they actually are in the race.  If Maylasia was leg, 8 or 9 most likely then its still possibe that all 5 teams are still in.  And most likely (99% at least four).

Some friends of mine are Peace Corps vols in Mozambique and claim that the race came through Maputo sometime between Thanksgiving and December 7. One of the destinations was the old Portuguese fort (pictured here: http://tabisite.com/gallery_af/mozambique/91af265.jpg). Unfortunately they didn't have any other details. This does seem consistent with the spoilers that teams were on their way to South Africa, as Maputo is usually reached through Joburg.

Yuck.  I liked season 1 and 2 final four better.

I liked season's 5's final four better.

I really like Cha, cha.  I like Charla, I like Eric.  I am cool with Dustin & Kandice, I don't dsilike them just neither here nor there.  Probably would have liked them more if they didn't depend on so much local assistance.  Didn't like it when Rob & Amber did it and got famous for using more hten anyone up to that time, certainly didn't need to saa another team use it even more then they did.  Was neutral to the DD's.

But I hate Mirna.  Just didn't like her at all.

I wasn't a huge fan of 7, like almost the entire cast except for bottom feeder Ray, suck it up Deana.

But I wasn't that impressed with the routes or the tasks in that season.  I think its the worst season for tasks (well of course not counting Family Edition).

Tasks wise I loved season 2 the best.  But I only liked about half the cast.  Luckily most of them were in it for the long haul.

The Fort looks cool.

I'm with Kogs -- it will still be a little while yet before an official CBS release. It seems doubtful that on the promo they'd say, "the teams are still secret," then release the names just a few days later.

Maybe All Stars will be like the first season without a fighting couple!!
I think Eric and Danielle are way to laid back to fight with each other. Maybe if they are on JVJ fight, i could also see Rob and Amber fighting if they fall behind, they admit in south Africa they werent even talking to one another on that leg.  My prediction is Rob and Amber do get yielded, and then just crumble making mistake after mistake after mistake.

I wonder how Jeremy/Dani feel not being on.  It would have been fun to see Eric/Danielle face off against Dani/Jeremy [i think].  The more i think of the final five the more i love it, i love me some Dustin and Kandice, i watched AR2 yesterday OD were so funny!, i loved the double dees [I still believe they would have slipped through to the final three had there been no yield]

However with these five teams, where is the drama, the excitment, i think they will all get along.  I deffinally see the blondes getting along with Oswlad and danny.  I think everyone will HATE Mirna, and then Mirna will be the villain.

more than likely a tes announcment with phil and a preview teaser from the starting line prob after the website is launched. the question is how will they promote during the nfl playoffs. do they want people excited and create buzz and basically use false advertising, or create buzz by announcing the cast and use teaser and tease the relationships

Well I am not so sure.  If hte show starts very late February tehn I expect a cast press release really no more then 4 weeks in advance if any that much.

Do we normally get a list more then a month in advance. And actual previews normally about two weeks before the typical starting date are rather common.


softballgirl58

D & K certainly have some skills good with the locals and very charming, usually quick getting out of arports (which is important in the race, except for the final leg, when htey make you all leave customs supposedly at the same time), and they are very driven.

What I would like to see is them actually not using locals though.  It makes it hard to really judge a team that depends so highly on local assistance.  And while it is nice to see strong competitive female teams.  I want to see them do a Eric & Jeremy.  They used locals in one leg total for less then 15 miles, when no one had a map in a small south American town.  When they can navigate both on foot and in cars like that you will see me jumping up and down and praising them.

Personally I would rather them (or them team I love in whatever seasons) to make 95% of all navigation choices on their own.  If they losse and go out in leg 4 so be it, I personally would rather that happen then to see a team use locals more then any otehr team in race history and do really well).

I say use that charm in getting a fast cab or getting the best possible flight schedule or getting great directions (and they do have a ot of charm they can use), but enough of the grabbing a local to drive with them or to escort them or to pay a cab to lead the way.  I think all the teams last year from leg 6 and on used this way, way to much.  But they used it more times then any of the others.

Its one of the reasons I had a hard time really getting behind them as a fan.

I know for a fact someone on Sucks was contacting Dani, where she was tight lipped obout All Stars, but she wasnt on it if they were contacting threw email. Personally i liked Dani/JEremy ALOT better, but Danielle is good enough.  I want the Double Dees from New Yawk back!!

I gotcher spoilers! Spoilers here! Hot off the plane!

My sister called me this morning (just before 9:00 Hawai'ii time). She's a flight attendant on Air Micronesia and said that a "bunch" of TAR All-Stars teams were on her flight from Guam to Honolulu. She was calling me from the plane, which had just landed.

She's not quite as rabid a TAR fan as I am, so she's not sure about all the teams, but here's what I know so far. She's coming over later on to look at the CBS web site for each season to see if she recognizes anybody else.

Based on what she told me and what I'd heard before, I think these are the second (later) group of sequestered teams.

On the flight:

Guidos (to whom she served drinks, as in alcohol, which she thought was strange when they were racing but then agreed when I said I thought they'd already been eliminated and were on their way to the finish line)

Uchenna/Joyce - Joyce was sitting up/not trying to sleep as she might be expected to do if they were still racing and she needed to get as much sleep as possible during down times. My sister asked Uchenna if there was anything she could do for him, and he in turn asked her if there was anything he could do for her like "give her an autograph." She somehow had the occasion to mention this to what she said was another team:

Ryan and Peter - I have no idea who this was. Kathy (sister) thinks is was a team but her description of them didn't sound familiar to me (tall/thin/blond + shorter/blondish). They said they'd been flying for a month and weren't supposed to acknowledge anything (like Uchenna had done when he'd offered an autograph, although obviously my sister knew who he was)

Allison and her boyfriend - I knew this couldn't really be Allison (Big Brother and TAR), so I got a description and I think it's Eric and Dani.

Danny/Oswald

Kevin and Drew, she THINKS

No female-only teams

Miscellaneous:

The flight was delayed, and nobody seemed upset about it.

They'd stayed at Anderson Air Force Base on Guam - had gotten in the previous morning and left the following day. I think they were probably on their way from Sequesterville location #2 somewhere in Asia, but that's just speculation.

No Rob/Amber or Teri/Ian or Dave/Mary on the flight as far as my sister could tell.

Does this mean that Mirna/Charla and the Beauty Queens are in the top 3? Who would be the 3rd team? Maybe one team was missed at the sighting in Malaysia because of a fast forward or something?

if the final 5 were

Danny/Oswald
Dustin/Kandice
Charla/Mirna
( 5th team Uchenna Joyce)

that leaves final 3
Dustin/Kandice
Mirna/Charla
Eric/Danielle << has to be! since U/J & D/O were identified!! and E/D are a maybe...

I do think it was JVJ, but why would you pray for that wouldnt you rather a fifth spot be open to someone like Rob and Amber or JVJ over Danielle.
Jill and Danielle both have accents another way to confuse them. The question is if the girl had bit boobs or not!

Doesnt sequester all get sequestered together, why would teams be missing?  Also i thought 4th and now a days 5th place dont get sequestered.

However with these five teams, where is the drama, the excitment, i think they will all get along.  I deffinally see the blondes getting along with Oswlad and danny.  I think everyone will HATE Mirna, and then Mirna will be the villain.

I wonder how Jeremy/Dani feel not being on. 

and how do we know that they are not? now that would be entertainment, them racing against each other. but my guess is that cbs couldn't allow that as they would work together too much?

I know for a fact someone on Sucks was contacting Dani, where she was tight lipped obout All Stars, but she wasnt on it if they were contacting threw email. Personally i liked Dani/JEremy ALOT better, but Danielle is good enough.  I want the Double Dees from New Yawk back!!

I could also be the rumor I heard
was correct! and if it is we dont know the lead team
I heard that IZAD's pics were correct BUT the teams werent
1 2 3 and 4 on a later plane
i heard those teams were 2 3 4
and  team 1 was a fast forward
or had an ealier flight due to a lead from a fast forward




Could be Romber and maybe David & Mary are doing the decoys? they have faces people would recognize.

I asked Kathy if the "Allison" team was JVJ, and she didn't think it was. Her description of the teams makes me think it wasn't Kris/Jon, either (she said the woman was blonde and the guy was dark, but not tall like John Vito), so that's why I think it was Eric/Danielle. I'll post more after she comes over here and eyeballs the team photos.

I looks like this flight is loser flight for teams 4 through 8.  I'm extremely disappointed to see Danny and Oswald on the loser flight.

this is why i asked before, since when are there separate sequesters?

I mean it does make total sense, that Danielle/Eric could have been eliminated in 5th, and OD went out forth, but we still dont know the mystery 5th team, who is now the myster final three team!
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: godsmack on December 15, 2006, 04:22:39 PM
do the math and figure what teams weren't on that plane
and that leaves a few great final team scenarios

doesn't anybody remember the final three spoilers from season 7
weren't we all surprised?

and there is some very strong teams still missing from the spoiler sightings
so far.
I just go by the old adage  don't believe it until you see it
and from what I understand there is only one sequester spot
its a money saving thing
separate flights separate resorts is a very expensive idea so I doubt
theres two.

True that there could have been a 6th team with the time frame an all? and yeah I know spoilers aren't always as they seem. Take for instance jlaw...she/he thought? bama was on the same flight from CDG to JFK so you can't rule out anything.<< thats just one example, lol.
I always felt that Uchenna & Joyce was the one set of " winners" on Chips list and am glad they are out, *sacasm*

Babalu from Tarflies also posted on Twop that a previous season's racer has since PM'd her that on their season there were two flights of eliminated teams to the final city.

Hi! That spoiler is from me (really my sister). I've since learned that it's Danielle, not Dani. (I knew which one was with Eric in terms of what she looks like; I just got mixed up about which was called Dani.) I think my sister is getting some sleep right now, but she's planning to come over later on, so I hope I'll have more info then.

One of the previous season's racers has since PM'd me and said that on their season, there were two flights of eliminated teams from sequesterville to the final city, so she agreed that this is almost certainly one of them.

I just want to put this out there.  I thought 4th place never goes to Sequester, maybe UJ were not the 5th team, Oswald and Danny get eliminated in 5th place, the "Alison" girls is Kris and Jon, but there are still 4 teams racing, the three we know and that still mystery team.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on December 15, 2006, 07:56:34 PM
Damn I wish we had a photograph.  I mean I really wish we had photos.

But I hope Eric & Danielle are still in (my way of protesting Eric & Jeremy not being a team, or any of the strong alpha male teams).

So unless depending on who the 5th team was , it could be Uchenna & Joyce (but it might not have been).  If it wasn't Uchenna & Joyce then most likely it is in fact Eric & Danielle.

If Uchenna & Joyce were the fifth team and there was in fact another team (as some believe) then it wouldn't add up.  Because it very unlikley that 3 teams would be eliminated in a 4 day period.



But I will tell you what, and I am certain it is the case.  But if it was it would be brilliant.

We always hear about decoys (typically the 4th team).  But can you imagine if the producers set whoever the final three are on a plane back to the US with the other teams.

Normally the teams are held as a final group until all have cleared customs into the US (this and the first leg are typically the only places this ocurs).  Again I don't think the producers would do this or even think about it.  But it would be a brillant way of confincing us about the wrong final three.

One that wouldn't require any extra money spent.

But I still want Eric & Danielle in the final 3.

Spoken words of wisdom from mswood
I cant picture them bunching up still competing teams with
eliminated teams and in the spoiler post she clearly stated everyone was
relaxed and not in a hurry
Damn i wish I still lived in Oahu  :groan:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on December 15, 2006, 09:02:30 PM
It would be a seriously smart way to confuse people keeping track of hte race.

And again with Customs being an equilizer and if all three final teams were on board then they wouldn't have any extra fears about the plane being late. 

But again, I seriously doubt that producers would think like that.  I would laugh my ass off if they did though.

Real possabilities.
1.  Charla & Mirna & Dustin & Kandice and an unknown 3rd team (most likely a 5th team in Maylasia an it not being Uchenna & Joyce). 
2.  Charla & Mirna and Dustin & Kandice and Eric & Danielle (which is what I personally am hoping for) and the persons just got the couple mixed up.  Fits best with both spoilers groups.
3.  Uchenna & Joyce, Danny & Oswald & Eric & Danille (and are sharing the same flight as most of the sequestered while Dustin & Kandice and Charla & MIrna travel a decoy flight or a flight with the other sequesterd).  Brilliant but very unlikely.
4.  The spoiler concerning the flight is bogus.  Actually I would say this is at least more possible then #3.  Nothing agains't the poster who posted this or the person who says they saw this.  But we have no verification and thus makes it possible that it isn't real.

Now Godsmack believes that either Joyce & Uchenna weren't the 5th team (which works in scenerios 1 & 2.  Or that they actually had 6 teams racing in the Maylasia leg.  Unforunately that doesn't fit with any appropriate time line that allows 3 teams to be eliminated in less then 5 days.

Common Puddin scenerio 2 or 3.  For me how about , you.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on December 15, 2006, 09:06:29 PM
On Sucks htey have said the race can be 27 days.

And if the sequestered teams had to travel, get cleaned up and practise being nice to people they hate.  They could certainly be there a day earlier.

Now would they ever take the sequestered teams say through Hawaii to the West Coast, and have the real racers be going say from Alaska or Canada to the West Coast.

And could Hawai just be say an overnight stop for a letter connection to a different location in the main 48 states.

Thus given the race a couple more days to run?

All questions that are going to drive me crazy for lets see 5 friggin months......

How they hell do you guys manage?

I couldn't sleep the day of the maylasia spoilers, is that crazy or what?

yippee! more from Babalu & sister: (http://www.tarflies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=991&start=210)

Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 10:24 pm


My sister just got up and called me again. I'm going over to her house for dinner, and we will look at the CBS website, but I thought I'd post a few more details now.

We now do NOT think that Eric/Danielle were on the plane - which could very well mean that the F3 = Eric/Danielle, Dustin/Kandice, and Mirna/Charla.

The flight originated in Guam (and that's where the racers/production staff got on), but it went to HNL via Nagoya, Japan (where my sister got on). The other flight attendants told her there were some Amazing Race people on board, and she immediately said, "They're going to smell really bad!" But they didn't.

Other indications that these were eliminees:

- my sister comped drinks to the people on her side of the plane, but she noticed that some of the racers on the other side were paying for drinks, which she thought they wouldn't have done if money was tight

- nobody was asking any questions about transportation, where anything in Hawai'i is, etc. They all seemed really calm and relaxed. Kathy said that Uchenna asked her how long the delay would be, but it was only to find out if he had enough time to buy the Guidos a bottle of vodka at Duty Free.

Kath asked Danny if Rob/Amber and some of the other racers were another plane, and he said something like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's another plane."

We think that "Allison" and her husband may be production people. Kathy thought they were racers because there were two of them, but my current guess is they're not.

Kat did say that "Ryan" and "Peter" looked really familiar, but I still can't figure out who they might be.

We also don't think that Drew and Kevin were on the plane, after all.

There were a couple of people up front (in 1st class), and Kathy didn't see them, so it could have been any of the teams or production people.

Kat told all the racers what a big fan her sister (me) is and that I'd just gotten back from NY, so now I'm probably on everybody's **** list.

Jackie.

THey don't.  But like you many people (myself desperately praying for) Kris & Jon being on all stars and that tehy do infact represent season 6.

This team like Tian & Jaree really has no firm absolutely yes they are in.  Others like Teri & Ian, Kevin & Drew, Joyce & Uchenna are supposed to havae inside sources confirming that they are on.

So personally I pray this coupe team is Kris & Jon.  For 2 reasons.

1.  It means they are on the race.  Which would be a huge YAY from me.

2.  It would mean that Eric & Danielle make final three.

If it isn't Kris & Jon then we still have no real idea if they are cast are not a big BOOOO from me.

And it might mean that the couple is Eric & Danielle and the got eliminated either 5 or 4th (BOOOOOO on that as well).

Kris & Jon logged on to their myspaces a few days ago ( I haven't checked back ) but they very well could have had someone log on for them..check Eric's last login, I think it was after the 20th.29th ( brb )

eta: see this is another reason I love Eric & Danielle/Dani ..they are myspace friends and actually acknowledged me at times. Real people! Like our FrostieJ  :cmas26

Well Babula has final posted over at Tarflies that at dinner her and her sister with through cast photos.

And it appears that just the Guido's, Uchenna & Joyce and Danny & Oswald were on the plane with the rest being production personal.

She speculates that Guidos were team 6, Uchenna & Joyce team 5 and Danny & Oswald team 4 (but I am sure that is just speculation).

Nor does she know if they were going to any form of sequester ville even a miny one.

ANd that it should be that Charla & Mirna, Dustin & Kandice and Eric & Danielle are the final three.  But thats based off of spoilers and not any new overheard info.

I am sure where we are with a list of teams for TAR-AS (this thread is currently on p29).  However, I was just channel surfing and saw a show on E! featuring Victoria Fuller.  Her friends (Playmates) were throwing her a baby shower!  The original air-date of the show was 1 Oct 06, so I doubt that Victoria and her husband are on TAR-AS.

Thanks Peach!  She is equally awsome as well.  She is or was on top of a TAR game I used to play at TWoP.  I stopped playing because it was too hard to stay at the front of the pack.  We went together to grill Bama on some questions.  But I wish I had been more prepared for that.  Peach seems to have mined quite a lot of info from them.   

Sorry to say Puddin, my pix did not turn out.  I only got two where you can see who it is.  Check p. 34 of TWoP's TARconX thread.  There was one posted by DoubleTee with me.  Happy hunting!   :mas25

Looks like teams may be going to Micronesia (Guam) after all.  TAR AS is really looking to take teams to new places.

That's quite a flight on Air Micronesia: Palau, Guam, Ponope, Marshall Islands, Johnson Island, and Honolulu.

What kills me on this list, is that if you really look at it the quality of racers isn't that much better then a typical season.

We got a couple realy good teams, some good teams, some fairlya verage teams and some bad teams.

Chip said in the TAR blog that it would be 12 teams, not 11, so that's weird.

Seriously, I think this list kinda sucks. I'm disapointed. So many cool teams they could have picked, way more competitive...  :cmas4

Heee...that must be the other guys---we LOVE spoilers around here! I think we all owe you a HUGE thank you for all you did to get that spoiler  :thankyou:!
I've been on those stairs so I really appreciate the work involved! You definitely gave us the best of the best! And to top it off with such good photos--job VERY well done!

Were the camera guys intimidating? The guy from Argentina seemed to think so! I'll bet they were NOT happy to see you--although I've been a little surprised that there haven't been even more sightings given the higher profile of some of the teams this season. And eavesdropping is in all the best Detective traditions!

Is it okay to pick your brain a little bit? I know you said they came from Poland--did you hear of any more ideas about where/what they were doing there?
Andof course we'd love to know any more you can share.... Since Uchenna/Joyce have been confirmed on the Guam flight, can you say now that they were the 5th team?

But in any case, we are very happy to have your insight around here--hope you'll be able to stick around and help us with the season! :yourock:

Post by: mswood on December 17, 2006, 12:25:27 PM
IF its just those 11 I am disappointed but okay.

The casting seems to be much closer to the quality level of a regular season then what I was hoping far in an All Star season.  But it is still an interesting cast.

It gives a us several things a few nice teams, a few competitive teams, a couple schimers.  It gives us underdogs, and a new combitation to watch race.

And funny I actually am really looking forward to see how Eric & Danielle race.

Are they going to be a good solid overall team.  Both in ability and how they get along (see Kris & Jon)

Are they going to just be a good team, but somewhat emotional erratic (say like Kelly & Jon).

Are they going to be a good team, but one that fights a lot.

Are they giong to be a team that has one member really pull the wait for the team.

Ae they going to be a poor team, that just happens not to get eliminated and make it far in the race.

All the other teams we ahve seen deal with the stress and challenges of the race with their partners.  So as much as I was oppossed to a hybrid team, it actually gives us something new to see.

And does anyone actually know.  Have they been dating since season 9.  Or did they break up?

Izad don't ever worry about spoilers being too much for this site.  The main purpose here is to figure out everything that happens in the race.  The when, the where and the how.  We want every detour, roadblock known before the episode aired.  We want to know where they are located and the order of the teams doing it.

We want to know where the teams have travelled and any special locations they go for route markers.

We are greedy, we want it all.

More from Babalu --posted at Sucks--

Regarding the "fake names" used on the flight:

My guess is that the teams have to show their passports, so the airline has the correct name but that the producers arrange to have the tickets issued under an alias so that anyone checking a passenger list wouldn't know that teams were on it.

One possibly interesting detail from my sister is that one of the mysterious Ryan/Peter (I forget which one) ordered a vegetarian meal. At first, the flight crew couldn't find it, but then my sister asked Ryan/Peter, "Was it under the name of Sevy/Seby?" (something like that - she said the name was hand-written and she couldn't tell), and he looked at her all shocked-like and said "yes." Whoever it was ended up eating the meal with shrimp, so don't go by vegetarianism as your clue, but if that name means anything to anyone, that might be another hint. She still says he looked really familiar - tall, thin, glasses, maybe smart/quiet, slightly nerdy. And she doesn't think it was Ian from Survivor 'cause I asked.


Okay everybody--who could this be? Someone in production probably wouldn't be shocked at being "outed"--maybe a former racer? There were lots of rumors early on about cameos...Seby...hmmmm...did we have a Shelby?  A Stevie? With a description to go on--I know one of you will figure it out! Sadly, I have to go finish shopping! :cmas5

What we really need is a list of all the teams last names so we can play "sounds like"....anybody know where to find that?

No Jeremy meant people should have made up names so racers coulnt cancel taxis.  Usually at airports teams do this so people cant check what flight people get on. Thus Rob and Brennan useing middle names in AR1 so FM didnt know what flight to take.  I dont think teams are given fake names.  Also DK asked for the Taxi to take the two blonde girls, not DK, this way noone could cancel the cab becuase they wouldnt know the name.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on December 17, 2006, 06:00:23 PM
No Jeremy specifically said they should have used their "fake" names.

Not they should have used fake names.

As for teams using discriptions that's the way you have to go, to many teams have taken or tried to take cabs by saying yes thats me, when the cab has asked are you John Doe.

I belieive the fact anames are used in things like the hotel stays before the race begins, and things like that.

Otherwise it would be much easier to findout in advance who is who when you are waiting for the race to start.

AS for actually once the race starts, yeah they use their real names for travelling because well thats really required now days with travel restrictions and security.

Hehe.. to answer your question, the crew members actually were quite intimidating, but since they were filming at a public place, they can't really do much about it. I was also under the impression that the racers aren't allowed to chit chat with the public (unless they too were on camera) for some reason but I could be wrong.. although i did manage to shout out "Good luck" and "I'm a fan!" while Mirna was at the bottom of the staircase :) (what right minded fan, wouldn't?)

I wasn't alone at this route marker.. so that would explain some of the pictures were at the bottom of the staircase, the top, and at the entrance.

As for the fifth team, i honestly can't 100% vouch that the fifth team is Ucheynna/Joyce. Sorry, not that I don't want to, but I just don't know for sure.

Listen, you did such an amazing job of figuring out where they were going to be, staking out the site at the right time, and getting us such fabulous pictures that we're all so impressed! Maybe later you can tell us how you managed all that!  But you may have done too good of a job...now we think you should be able to tell us every detail of the legs before and after too--heeee....!

Was there any info about the teams and the filming in the local news there? Or since that is such a busy tourist area did the camera crews just blend in?

And do you want to speculate on where you would have sent teams for a Roadblock? I thought maybe they would have done some climbing in Dark Cave but guess not...

Thanks again for making our day around here! I would have been doing the fan happy dance too--or saying "Fern for hire! Fern for hire!" I'm so jealous!

Izad

I have question if you don't mind.

You gave us a tiem frame when teams got their.  But do you have any idea on how the teams faired on the stairs.

Any idea if sayD & K did the event fastest or slowest, ect for any of the teams or how long the teams were their doing it as a general estimate?

You said Charla & Mirna had a big lead, did they managed to complete it in roughly the same elngth of time?  Did it take them longer.

Thanks guys. And let's hope we get some more info from Guam! (and what a wicked subnic! Thanks)

Maybe later you can tell us how you managed all that!  But you may have done too good of a job...now we think you should be able to tell us every detail of the legs before and after too--heeee....!

Was there any info about the teams and the filming in the local news there? Or since that is such a busy tourist area did the camera crews just blend in?

And do you want to speculate on where you would have sent teams for a Roadblock? I thought maybe they would have done some climbing in Dark Cave but guess not...

Thanks.. as for the details of the legs, I might be able to post some extra stuff but not any time soon. It's not a case of "i know something that you guys dont *neener*", but there are reasons I can't tell right now. We're all fans of the show and I cant wait to share it with you guys but hope you guys will understand.

I heard one of the crew members bitching that some info about them filming TAR was leaked to one of the papers somewhere, but I didn't get which paper (nor if it's true). However, nobody actually cared about the camera crew being there.. until they see people  running towards the cluebox (which they put up only about 5 minutes before the teams got there).. people got extra curious most noticably when Charla/Mirna and the BQs were there - possibly because people recognize them the most.

I thought they were going to do some task at the Caves as well, but they were only there to get to the cluebox. They then went off to a different part of town in taxis.

You said Charla & Mirna had a big lead, did they managed to complete it in roughly the same elngth of time?  Did it take them longer.

All of the teams took about 10 minutes to go up and down the stairs. No one did exceptionally well, or bad - because even though the steps were not  steep, they were definitely NOT wide.. and I guess every teams were just being extra careful going up and down the stairs. (I actually witnessed a little girl stumbled down a couple of steps, but thankfully she was okay). That said, I must say that you can't help but be impressed with Charla if (when) you see her climb those stairs. She had her huge backpack on, and come on.. it's just harder for her than a normal heighted person. ;) But yeah, most of them got in and out of that place within the same approximate amount of time.. I think the Chas stumbled with the BQs as they were heading out (and the BQs coming in).

Hi - me again!

My sister didn't recognize any of the other teams' photos, so our best guess (and it's only a guess, but many of you have surmised the same) =

There were only 3 teams on the flight, and the rest of the TAR folks were production staff/crew.

Those 3 teams are the Guidos (6th place), Uchenna/Joyce (5th place), and the Chas (4th place).

Those 3 teams may not have been at Sequesterville - or may have been at a different, shorter-term Sequesterville from the earlier eliminees.

The top 3 are Mirna/Charla, the BQs, and Eric/Danielle.


...makes me curious. If we have just three sequestered teams in Guam AND filming in Guam (which would be part of the final 3 leg) -- I smell twist. Pair up with an eliminated team for a task? I wonder...

 TAR All-Stars just made a stop on the U.S. Territory of Guam in the western Pacific. US Air Force officials confirmed that crews were indeed filming on Anderson Air Force Base, which is situated at the northern tip of the island. 


just posted on sucks

Besides being the home of  B-52, B-1 and B-2 squadrons, AAFB includes the best secluded beach on the island.  Also on the island are the caves in which Japanese soldiers hid after the war.  One such veteran was discovered living in a cave almost 30 years after the war officially ended.

We do know teams are given (or make up) fake travellig names.

In season Nine we get the first mention of this when Jeremy says they should have booked taxi's with their fake anmes.

A little hard to book airline tickets with "fake" names unless they have lied to the USGovernment and obtained a passport with a "fake" name.  Don't think that TPTB or CBS could pull that one off.

No he was alive and had been living off the land; only going near civilization at night.  When he was finally found, he knew that the Americans had captured Guam and were occupying the territory, but he still thought that Japan was winning the war!
 
He had been ordered not to surrender and hold out as long as he could.  He made it almost 30 years!

I gotcher spoilers! Spoilers here! Hot off the plane!

My sister called me this morning (just before 9:00 Hawai'ii time). She's a flight attendant on Air Micronesia and said that a "bunch" of TAR All-Stars teams were on her flight from Guam to Honolulu. She was calling me from the plane, which had just landed.

She's not quite as rabid a TAR fan as I am, so she's not sure about all the teams, but here's what I know so far. She's coming over later on to look at the CBS web site for each season to see if she recognizes anybody else.

Based on what she told me and what I'd heard before, I think these are the second (later) group of sequestered teams.

On the flight:

Guidos (to whom she served drinks, as in alcohol, which she thought was strange when they were racing but then agreed when I said I thought they'd already been eliminated and were on their way to the finish line)

Uchenna/Joyce - Joyce was sitting up/not trying to sleep as she might be expected to do if they were still racing and she needed to get as much sleep as possible during down times. My sister asked Uchenna if there was anything she could do for him, and he in turn asked her if there was anything he could do for her like "give her an autograph." She somehow had the occasion to mention this to what she said was another team:

Ryan and Peter - I have no idea who this was. Kathy (sister) thinks is was a team but her description of them didn't sound familiar to me (tall/thin/blond + shorter/blondish). They said they'd been flying for a month and weren't supposed to acknowledge anything (like Uchenna had done when he'd offered an autograph, although obviously my sister knew who he was)

Allison and her boyfriend - I knew this couldn't really be Allison (Big Brother and TAR), so I got a description and I think it's Eric and Dani.

Danny/Oswald

Kevin and Drew, she THINKS

No female-only teams

Miscellaneous:

The flight was delayed, and nobody seemed upset about it.

They'd stayed at Anderson Air Force Base on Guam - had gotten in the previous morning and left the following day. I think they were probably on their way from Sequesterville location #2 somewhere in Asia, but that's just speculation.

No Rob/Amber or Teri/Ian or Dave/Mary on the flight as far as my sister could tell.

Does this mean that Mirna/Charla and the Beauty Queens are in the top 3? Who would be the 3rd team? Maybe one team was missed at the sighting in Malaysia because of a fast forward or something?



Was there any mention of cameramen and soundmen taking pictures while in flight?  If the teams did not have any camera crews with them then they certainly were losers on the way home.

Which flight was she on?  The 7:00AM non stop from Guam to Honolulu Flight No. 2) or the island-hoping Flight No. 956?  If she was on the non-stop, the final three teams might be on Flight No. 956 which makes five stops through Micronesia including Yap, Ponope, and the Marshall Islands.  All offer all kinds of unique challenges and would keep the "new" location theme going.

Post by: asamber1 on December 18, 2006, 06:22:42 PM
No Jeremy specifically said they should have used their "fake" names.

Not they should have used fake names.

As for teams using discriptions that's the way you have to go, to many teams have taken or tried to take cabs by saying yes thats me, when the cab has asked are you John Doe.

I belieive the fact anames are used in things like the hotel stays before the race begins, and things like that.

Otherwise it would be much easier to findout in advance who is who when you are waiting for the race to start.

AS for actually once the race starts, yeah they use their real names for travelling because well thats really required now days with travel restrictions and security.

Whatever, i totally think you were wrong.  If they have fake names they are there to be used then why are fake names never used.  I know becuase they are NOT given out, teams make them themselves. Its a smart move.  Lyn and Karlyn said their names to a guide, "Fake names" are not given. 
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on December 19, 2006, 12:46:03 AM
Oh I could be wrong no doubt about it.  But if teams are given or encouraged at any time to have a fake name.  The fact that one would need to use real names for almost all real travel purposes would tend to give you little reason once he race starts to use one.

But I do seem to recall other seasons (either in interviews or clips mention something about it as well).

And Jeremy's word choice is fairly concise (Yeah its Jeremy, though).

know whats funny the Season 10 spoiler thread only has a hundred and 15 more posts then this one does.  Damn...

Hey now!!

Amazing Race Visits Guam
PNC Staff Reporter 16.DEC.06

10:22am Look out for a Guam stop in next season’s “The Amazing Race”. Guam was paid a visit by competitors of that reality TV show.

Guam was apparently a stop, and competitors were on Andersen Air Force, being filmed. The Pacific News Center contacted Air Force Officials, who confirmed the film crew was on base, but could not comment any further.

LOL actually there were quite a few around the time the 2nd, 3rd and 4th team arrived (I guess it was still too early for the monkeys to come out when the 1st team arrived). I believe there was actually one or two monkeys at the cluebox when the 4th team was getting their clue. Not sure if they will edit that out in the show though.

puddin -

there are also a few little 'exclusive" enclave-y type islands very close by -- Fisher Island, Star Island, Palm and Hibiscus Islands - spendy spots where people like Madonna and NBA types have homes.

MWOODEN, I have a comment on your summary of the route of AR11. I believe that the purpose of going to Ushuaia, Argentina was to reach the bottom of South America, not to jump off to Antarctica to add one continent to the Amazing Race. If that is the case, the Episode 2 would be Quito to Sowewhere in South America, 3 would be Somewhere in South America to Ushuaia, and 4 would be Ushuaia to southern Africa. I also do not believe that the race necessarily stopped in South Africa, although it might have. Episode 5 could have been a continuous journey via Johannesburg to Maputo from Ushuaia. If so, there would also have been another Africa(probably) or Mideast(unlikely) pit stop on the way to Europe. I believe that the leg after Malaysia was to Hong Kong, as reported by me to the TelevisionWithoutPity Forum when two teams were sighted in Hong Kong.

MIAMI BEACH AREA ISLANDS

I have done some research on islands just west or south of Miami Beach. Fisher Island has been noted by dogparent.  There is also Normandy Island, North Bay Village, Dodge Island, and Virginia Key. There are also really small islands not identified on all the maps I could access. Key Biscayne does not count because it is not associated with Miami Beach. Bay Harbor Islands are associated with Bal Harbor on my map rather than Miami Beach.

Post by: woden on December 21, 2006, 08:27:57 PM
Yep, those are definite possibilities, apskip. The route spec is just that -- spec. The info in red is stuff that is either confirmed by photos or multiple sightings. Everything else is up in the air until we get some promos.

Post by: dogparent on December 21, 2006, 10:24:13 PM
It seems like every start line they run to cars and drive to an airport, so right around Bal Harbour / Key Biscayne, they have easy access to the highway bound for the airport. I was kind of hoping it'd be harder for them - maybe navigating through Calle Ocho or other mostly Spanish speaking neighbourhood in Miami.

I wouldn't be surprised if the teams had to sign up for charter flights on arrival in South Africa to get to Maputo.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on December 22, 2006, 07:53:17 AM
VALOR BOREAL, there would be little need for charter flights to Maputo. There is a nonstop flight(South Africa Airways 144) from Johannesburg to Maputo leaving at 155pm arriving at 300pm. There are also connecting flights (SAA 531 or 527/SAA 8240) through Durban with departures from Johannesburg at 600am or 7am and arrival at Maputo at 1125am.

chevy4wd posts on Dec 16th:

I heard about the Amazing Race All Stars. As it turns out that I was on Guam for business this week and got to see a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges. For the sake of integrity, I won't mention what teams I saw but I did get to see them do the road blocks. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes part of it all just for a few minutes of footage. They did their competition on the AF base there and it was pretty cool. We were not allowed to take pictures for obvious reasons. I can't wait to see the episodes air in Feb to see how it turns out.

A poster at sucks is giving the order of arrival at Guam (or at least at some point in Guam).  Have no iea on how accurate it it is.

But he list Charla & Mirna first with a big lead, tehn Eric & Danielle, BQ's and in last Danny & Oswald.

Don't know if this is hte same poster (or info from that same source above that Puddin links to).

http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessageRange?topicID=7459.topic&start=581&stop=595

This was a witness of a roadblock.

And if true does seem to indicate that this is where team Cha Cha Cha gets eliminated and it plays into the returning flight scedule. 

But of course with so much already given (the teams, teh return flight, a report f Guam and teh Airforce, it is possible someone could just be making this up with those facts in mind.  SO grain of salt and all that.

There are a couple of confirmations: first, that U/J and the Guidos are on the same sequester flight (Continental, through Nagoya); second, there is a Glenn Weber working NW at Guam (see here (http://www.guamairport.com/main/?sec=directory&typ=AIRLINES)). So it seems like the racers went on NW through Narita.

So they got the headsup on Dec 13th
Saw Ucheena & Joyce the Guidos and Dec 15th but missed Phil.
and then the demanding blonde's and other contestants on the 16th on flight to Narita and then Honolulu.
Great confirmation for the timeline.

 Got this email from a friend of a friend... enjoy!!!

If any of you are fans of the CBS hit reality show "The Amazing Race,"
you will be pleasantly surprised to know that GUAM will be one of the
featured stops in next season's show. For those of you who are not or
who have no clue as to what I'm talking about, I'll tell my groupie
story anyway.

Last Wednesday, we were given a heads-up by airport security that the
show was expected on-island, and although they weren't sure which
airline they were going to use they wanted to ensure there were no
issues with filming. Thursday came and went, and we didn't see anyone.
My co-worker Edgar and I met up with the producer and two cameramen on
Friday, and they told us that Phil (the host) was over at CO's counter
checking on for the flight to Nagoya/Honolulu. We chatted with the
staff and then, like a bunch of groupies, we went looking for Phil. We
ended up missing him. Edgar and I got separated somehow, but I bumped
into Joyce and Uchenna (the couple from Houston who won about two
seasons ago ) in the departure lobby. Joyce talked about having to
shave all of her hair in that one episode. It's growing back slowly,
and the short hairstyle looks good on her. I had a pretty long chat
with them and two other male winners (I don't recall their names, but
they said they were known as "the jerks" in their season). They were
all very nice and were only too happy to talk about their experiences on
the show. When I finally said goodbye and was making my way back to the
office, I met up with Uchenna again. He gave me a hug and a kiss and
told me to give my regards to John (I told them earlier that John was
also a huge fan of the show and that he is currently deployed to Iraq).
Ladies, he is definitely attractive and is quite the charmer!

Anyhow, that's part of the season's "surprise" (having previous winners
on the show). Virtually all of the footage was filmed up at Andersen
Air Force Base, although they will show some island scenes. The
cameramen we met said that one lady in a van drove up to them at the
base. She's a huge fan of the show, too, and pleaded with them to get
her picture taken with the clue box. They thought it was funny.

We were told that the contestants were going to leave the next afternoon
(Saturday) on our flight to Narita and then Honolulu. Luckily, these
were one-way normal tickets (the Airport Ticket Office is closed on
weekends), and it's a fairly easy process if a check-in agent has a
little bit of ticketing experience. One of our veteran Operations
supervisors (Glenn Weber) said that rookie Operations supervisor Hank
was going to be on duty that day. We nearly fell off our chairs
laughing. Turns out Glenn wanted to have fun with us and that he was
the one that was going to work that day. He later said that Saturday
was quite hectic, and there were some pretty demanding blonde
contestants. When they left the counter, the other contestants were
making fun of them. Glenn was the person who issued virtually all of
their tickets, so he's sure to be seen on national TV.

Anyhow, thanks for indulging me. Remember to look out for Northwest's
very own Glenn Weber and GUAM on the next season of "The Amazing Race!"

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families!

Jonathans take on All-Stars

Amazing Race All Stars Without Jonathan & Victoria? (http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2007/01/amazing_race_al.html)

Reality TV Magazine:  Can you tell us the names of any of the teams that are definitely participating?

Jonathan Baker:   I was traveling in December and to my surprise saw then final teams come in to the USA.  Because I am a fan of the show I will not be the one that puts any information out into the universe until the teams are announced. 

Reality TV Magazine:  Are there any other former racers participating in the show in some other way, perhaps being used as decoys by CBS to throw off fans who might spot the teams?

Jonathan Baker:  NO.

Reality TV Magazine: Who is your personal pick to win Amazing Race All-Stars?

Jonathan Baker:  I am a big fan of Dustin and Kandice for the win.  I hope Rob and Amber place top three, all others good luck.


Reality TV Magazine:  Is there anything else that you can tell us about Amazing Race All-Stars?

Jonathan Baker
:  Well if it does not have Jonathan and Victoria, Colin and Christy, Chip and Kim, The Hippies, and Jon and Kris alongside Rob and Amber and Dustin and Kandice then it just is not Amazing Race All Stars.

anyone know what season that picture of Phil is from? he looks so young.

In TAR2, they had a pit stop on a boat in Rio.  Maybe that is the source of this picture.

I agree with Kogs, it's the Af Chapman; compare the notch in the side of the ship with this photo (http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/marhist/gallery/lancaster_whitehaven/afchapman/af5.jpg), and in this photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/65373347@N00/103836406/) you can see a bit of the flag on the bowspit.

So for all you long timers---where do we REALLY stand as far as spoilers go for All Stars? Is this a fairly typical amount of spoilers so far? Since I just joined in last season and we had so many spoilers, I really don't have a basis of comparison for other seasons. I did think that since it was AllStars that the visibility level would be higher and that we might have had more official team/location sightings. I'm surprised that we still don't have a 100% cast list and only three-four confirmed locations but am sure grateful for what we do have! The "out" order seems like a lot to know this early---or not?  Unless more info turns up, will most of our info now come from the previews and clips?

Can you tell I'm in spoiler withdrawal? :lol:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: puddin on January 04, 2007, 02:52:16 PM
TAR10 spoiled us more than any other season with location's, Izabelas video, the Turku & Paris pictures and the final 3.
I have nothing for you peach  :lol:! I do my daily routine searching for ARAS sightings but don't know where to search besides the locations we already know. Funny we can't seem to find an actual sighting in Hawaii?
When ARAS starts I bet we get more spoilers/sightings plus the best part of all .... the intro flashcaps search!
For now I'm trying to become a millionaire at pogo in my free time  :angel:

I'll guess Feb 18th with the superbowl on the 4th and the grammy's on the 11th. The TV Guide article still has TAR on sundays so I guess we wait and see?

and fwiw heres the future listings links :

FWIW, looks like TARAS gets a "free-pass" if they launch in their usual 8PM slot on Sundays in late Feb.  NBC has something called "Grease, You're the one that I want" at 8PM, with The Donald @ 9PM.  ABC has the usual juggernaut "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition" at 8PM as it's only competition.  Hmm...what would you watch, Phil or some cheesy house makeover show.  It's a "No Brainer".   :snicker:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: puddin on January 05, 2007, 02:58:57 PM
Personally I don't like Extreme Makeover, Home Edition, It just so happens that Cold Case & Without a Trace are 2 of my fav shows so I can't complain about TAR's timeslot. PLUS no football in the winter  :woohoo: and now with TAR on Sundays we don't have to worry about AI sucking up all the ratings. I still think TPTB were dumb not to change the TAR9 finale to another date knowing they were up against AI finale :grins:. What were they thinking?

Still *SIGH's* at 7 more weeks of waiting for TAR but hear that Survivor14 starts FEB1st so at least thats something, for me anyway, to look forward to.

Post by: asamber1 on January 05, 2007, 07:12:47 PM
Correct me if i am wrong but:

11th Place - 7th Place: David and Mary, Rob and Amber, John Vito and Jill, Teri and Ian, Drew and Kevin***  Someone posted [same as 11 team spoiler] Teri and Ian beat Rob and Amber

My Guess:  [this is just spec i am prolly wrong here]
11th: David and Mary
10th: Drew and Kevin
9th: Rob and Amber  [Dont know why but a pretty good team usually goes out third [Debbie and Bianca, Duke and Lauren, ect ect]
8th: Teri and Ian
7th: Jon Vito and Jill

6th: Guidos  *** Sequester Flight
5th: Uchenna and Joyce [Eliminated in Malaysia]  ** Sequester Flight
4th: Oswald and Danny  [Eliminated in Guam?] ** Sequester Flight
Top Three:  Dustin and Kandice
                  Charla and Mirna
                  Eric and Danielle
*** Being Jonathan saw all three teams looks like they all arrived in the US together and Charla and Mirna's lead in Guam was gone.

yea but does anyone belive anything Jonathan say's ? B:)
he even said he looked forward to seeing rob and amber in the final three (His little hint) "I saw the teams coming into the usa"  "I look forward to seeing rob and amber in the final three"
so unless we were tottally duped by the spoilers  my money say's he didnt see anything and is talking out of his ass :jam:

I speculate that Romber are victims of a Yield. :knuckles: I suspect that Romber will be the "villians" for this Race and the other Teams will be out to Philiminated them as early as possible.  This strategy is not bad because Romber is a strong team, capable of winning.

Being a huge romber fan i would love seeing them eliminated because of a yield and not their own fault.  But i dont think the Yield had a really big  impact.  It depends where the yield will fall.  in the Double Dees case the Yield was in a spot there was not much catch up time.  I see that if yielded Romber will fall like Colin and Christie and make mistake after mistake.

From Jon's quote i got the impression the Barbies were in the final three, and romber was not, he says how rob and Amber are strong but no mention of them in the finals the Barbies had more of final three vibe from his quote.

With Romber's early elimination [even 7th place is early]     Mirna will be the villain.  I dont see her getting along with Eric or Danielle, and the Barbies wont ike Mirna but will like Charla.

I really dont mind Eric/Danielle going far but i really think Jill should have gone further than Danielle.  I just dont think its right that Danielle will beat Jill who is far superior to Danielle. 

*** And if Tian and Jaree/ or Fred and Kendra as are 12th team i think they will go out second!!! [after David and Mary] and then DD, RA, TI, JJ

my guess is the 25th because of the survivor factor with the mother day finale for that. just all my spec but something to think about that they would either push it up 1 week to the 18th with a 6th finale or just make the finale on a diff day of the week. this is the fun of the speculations until cbs announces it

A Feb 16 start would put it right in the middle of the Feb Sweeps and this would lead to a May 6 finish, the first Sunday oif the May Sweeps.
Unless, that is, they add a double length or a TBC leg in there which would put the end on May 13.  But please no later or otherwise I will again miss the ending  while whiling my time away in Prague or Vienna or Bratislava.

Thats strange being JVJ were on the first flight but anything can happen. If its true that sucks becuase they are so nice, really great people and dont deserve to go out first.  That order looks great if only Danielle/Eric were switched with Jill/JohnVito.  Its not really Eric it justs makes me sick Danielle beats Jill i guess there is that they are both Staten Island girls and Jill is so far superior it makes me sick.

Didnt JVJ's good friends Deniss and Erika go out first too, that sucks big time.

I mean All Stars just stink, stink, stink.  I can only imagine how Road Rules All Stars will turn out now. It just doesnt look good for Veronica after how all other all stars turned out.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on January 09, 2007, 07:33:25 PM
We have to remember just gettting ont he first flight isn't enough, we have several seasons were the first plan to leave actually isn't the frst to arrive.

We also have just in season 9 a team that was on the 2cd plane to leave (and supposed to arrive 2cd), which turned into the first flight that arrived and was the last team to get to the mat.  So its possible.  But it certainly could just be a fans wish idea or thought of how it will occur.

Personally I like the list (especially the last three, but  big ass grain of salt).

Well, there's always "La Mitad del Mundo," the equator monument just north of town in Nono (kmz attached). Then the racers could be given a translation clue, like the one given out at Miami in TAR7; they're told to find "El Fin del Mundo" and they have to figure out that it's Ushuaia.

I will wait until the race starts to see what happens. To many spoilers are only sightings (which are cool)and one persons word nothing more
then everyone starts there own theories and passes them are until they are digested like gospel .I didn't even come close to posting the rumor's floating around
The AP circles in LA or London but i will say this much CBS wanted TAR all stars to be a well hidden race and they did largely increase the budget
to make this race special and harder to spoil they even convinced ex racer's and employees of differing stories . They learned alot from last season So remember this one  statement I will leave you with "spook teams"
take it for what you will.

I will wait until the race starts to see what happens. To many spoilers are only sightings (which are cool)and one persons word nothing more
then everyone starts there own theories and passes them are until they are digested like gospel .I didn't even come close to posting the rumor's floating around
The AP circles in LA or London but i will say this much CBS wanted TAR all stars to be a well hidden race and they did largely increase the budget
to make this race special and harder to spoil they even convinced ex racer's and employees of differing stories . They learned alot from last season So remember this one  statement I will leave you with "spook teams"
take it for what you will.
I'm out
I'm flying to Spain in 2hr's

have fun!!!

Hey guys, first post  :js:

Puddin, do you think that the boot list that was sent to you is legit? I mean, is there any possibility that it isn't true?
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: tigress131 on January 10, 2007, 02:26:49 PM
I was sent a bootlist, pretty much what's already been speculated.
fwiw , not Gospel but we will see how it goes after the first few episodes.

Elimination order:

11th: John Vito & Jill
10th: Kevin & Drew
9th: Dave & Mary
8th: Rob & Amber
7th: Teri & Ian
6th: Bill & Joe
5th: Uchenna & Joyce
4th: Danny & Oswald
3rd: Charla & Mirna
2nd: Dustin & Kandice
Winners: Eric & Danielle


Thats strange being JVJ were on the first flight but anything can happen. If its true that sucks becuase they are so nice, really great people and dont deserve to go out first.  That order looks great if only Danielle/Eric were switched with Jill/JohnVito.  Its not really Eric it justs makes me sick Danielle beats Jill i guess there is that they are both Staten Island girls and Jill is so far superior it makes me sick.

Didnt JVJ's good friends Deniss and Erika go out first too, that sucks big time.

I mean All Stars just stink, stink, stink.  I can only imagine how Road Rules All Stars will turn out now. It just doesnt look good for Veronica after how all other all stars turned out.

Thats awesome, I was really expecting a much closer to March starting date, and getting the cast list a month before.

I am surprised though about it being early makes me wonder if we are going to get a clips episode this season (like 6 and 7 had) to pad out the season one extra week, or god forbid a two part operner (that would suck).

Post by: puddin on January 13, 2007, 01:14:26 AM
If I recall right, TAR10 was the only season with no Early Show promo because of the new Sunday schedule, which sucked because they always give away the first team out i.e. John & Scott TAR9 * pouts *...and also we have the TVGuide curse to look forward too...teams featured heavily always bite the dust first.
So Big Papi ( especially ) put on your pants its time to dance  :dancer:

Nothing on The Early Show web site this morning.  I expected CBS to tease everyone with the team announcement.  At least run some promos stating that they will announce the secret teams on ________ (Tuesday according to puddin').

Even though we know the cast--it will be nice to see the buildup. The only real disappointment for me from that announcement is that it will be a one hour premiere. Even if we know the teams, that never seems like a long enough intro!

And let's hope for a preview--time to get this spoiler show on the amazing road! :hfive:

NEW YORK, Jan. 15 -- CBS News' THE EARLY SHOW will announce the cast for AMAZING RACE: ALL-STARS on Tuesday, Jan. 16 (7:00-9:00 AM, ET/PT).

And being on the first flight doesn't mean much as we've seen in the past but I don't have time to look for all the details of past races at the moment. mswood is good at knowing all the stuff off the top of her head so maybe she can help out if she reads this?
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: foxburns on January 13, 2007, 12:19:01 PM
First out, slower plane: Seasons 1,2,3,4,5,6,10 (both teams)
First out, first plane: 7,9 (which were both two hour premieres)

So if JVJ go first, they would have to screw up pretty bad because no team on the first plane has ever gone out first in a one hour premiere (without the benefits of more first leg equalizers in a two hour premiere)
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: michael on January 13, 2007, 12:26:04 PM
Well, the speculation can always be wrong. . . maybe JVJ is on the second plane.

Maybe everyone got JVJ mixed up with Eric and Danielle.

Who knows...at least we don't have much more of a wait! ONE MONTH!!  :woohoo:

Well not quite, but close.

The only info is we know which team's flight was scheduled to land first, we don't know if they infact did land first.

For example in Season 6 the first flight scheduled to land was the American Flight through Boston with Gus & Hera, Avi & Joe and Hayden & Aaron yet it actually landed in last place (by ten whole minutes thanks to a weather delay) Avi & Joe were the team eliminated.  

Season 9 The first flight to leave and scheduled to arrive had BJ & Tyler, Dani & Danielle, Fran & Barry and that flight ended up landing 2cd.  While John & Scott left in 2cd place but landed first and were the last team to check in.

Season 7 is the one real example of a team who left in first, landed in first and still ended up in last place with  Ryan and Chuck.

So out of the 9 regular 2 man team seasons we have:

1:  Example of a team who left on teh 2cd plane, arrived on the first plane and ended up last.

2:  Example of a team who left on the 1st plane schedule to take off but actually due to weather delays arrived in last and ended up last.

3.  Example of a team being on teh irst flight to leave, it landing in first place and them still losing.

Everyone

Okay with it apparently looking like a one hour opener, does anyone think they might make the first episode a tw part episode.

Or will it be a standard one hour opening like in seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The reason I am curious with a startup date of Feb 18th, I wonder if they are going to stretch out the episodes are if they are just planning on the show ending early and not running throughout MAy Sweeps.

Ep 1:   Feb 18th
ep 2:   Feb 25th
Ep 3:   Mar ht4
Ep 4:   Mar 11th
Ep 5:   Mar 18th
Ep 6:   Mar 25th
Ep 7:   April 1st
Ep 8:   April 8th
Ep 9:   April 15th
Ep 10:  April 22cd
Ep 11:  April 29th
ep 12:  May 6th
ep 13:  May 13th.

THat list includes splitting the usual two hour final broadcast into its seperate Legs on seperate weeks like in Season 10 for example.  Otherwise we can play on a ending on May 6th.

Does it make since for CBS to try and extend this season being All_Stars and get more in during sweeps, or would they expect better performances out of specials or reruns in May.

I honestly think they might try a clips episode for this season like the did in seasons 6 and 7 to milk out another week of ratings (something Survivor has also done, has Big Brother?).

I am surprised at a one hour opener though.  I generally like a longer opener to get used to the teams more, but with it being all stars perhaps thats isn't really necessary.

Puddin or Kogs or anyone who has actually paid attention before.  What type of thing should we get on Tuesday, just a report with like cast photos, or should we expect to see the racers in person, or would it be actually footage for you spoiler blood hounds to dig into?

And with the Early Feb start we can certainly expect (hopefully) some good superbowl day and night promotion of the season opener.

Just think 35 days and less then 5 hours for those on the East Coast. :woohoo: :jumpy: :yess:
  Dies a little happy dance.

May 13th will most likely be the Survivor14 finale, traditional Mothers Day 3 hour finale  B:) B:)
And I have screencaps somewhere in my photobucket of  TAR9 on the Early show..but even better the video is still archived  (http://video.cgi.cbsnews.com/vplayer3/play.pl?type=rm&width=320&height=240&feat=vplayer&adtype=pre&arena=video&prod=eyebox&adv=j&id=1352351n&ord=41828.82823644693) or you can check out the webpage (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/28/earlyshow/series/amazingrace/main1352171.shtml). John & Scott were heavily featured as lost in Brazil.
Oh and thanks for all the info you guys  :jam:. If I dig out the pictures from TAR9  Early Show I'll post them.

Very Cool Puddin, since I didn't find this site until about the 4th episode of hte 9th season, I was unaware that the previewed the show.

And boy between this and TVguide curse, damn.

But I wonder if they will use it more heavily this time to promote "popular" types such as Rob & Amber and perhaps Charla & mirna to get viewer interest higher then say spotlighting the roadkill.

Oh well time will tell.

And lucky for me On was already planning on staying home on Tuesday so that just works perfectly.

Hi puddin! Thanks for the archived video link  (http://video.cgi.cbsnews.com/vplayer3/play.pl?type=rm&width=320&height=240&feat=vplayer&adtype=pre&arena=video&prod=eyebox&adv=j&id=1352351n&ord=41828.82823644693)  --it was fun refreshing my TAR 9 memories. Unfortunately, I think that is the "day of the 1st show" publicity video (cause Harry keeps talking about "the show starting tonight") and not the video of the cast release.

Do you by chance have the cast release video too? Because I can't remember if there was a preview or not....or like the Survivor release this week was it mostly a quick run thru of contestants+their bios? I would think they would want to do maybe clips of the former teams doing something on their former race as a refresher---but I would love to have a preview too! Just don't want to get my hopes up....

And where was this info anyway? I still can't find it! Or is this an example of how nice it will be to have a mod with "special press privileges"?   :lol:

And thanks everybody for the nice 1st plane--2nd plane who goes out summaries--it will be interesting to see what happens!

So if JVJ go first, they would have to screw up pretty bad because no team on the first plane has ever gone out first in a one hour premiere (without the benefits of more first leg equalizers in a two hour premiere)

Well since its a 1 hr start maybe they have like a AR9 first leg and have not "sign up for one of three busses" or "one of three departure times" and then its all the one leg in one day, and in that cast JVJ's 1 hr lead about can be gone [just like Scott and John's] by one bad cab ride.

I was sent a bootlist, pretty much what's already been speculated.
fwiw , not Gospel but we will see how it goes after the first few episodes.

Elimination order:

11th: John Vito & Jill
10th: Kevin & Drew
9th: Dave & Mary
8th: Rob & Amber
7th: Teri & Ian
6th: Bill & Joe
5th: Uchenna & Joyce
4th: Danny & Oswald
3rd: Charla & Mirna
2nd: Dustin & Kandice
Winners: Eric & Danielle

Top Row Left to Right: Eric/Danielle, Kevin/Drew, Bill/Joe, Rob/Amber, David/Mary, JVJ
Bottom Row Left to Right: Danny/Oswald, Teri/Ian, Charla/Mirna, Dustin/Kandice, Unchenna/Joyce

These lists match well! :woohoo:

Right like we already knew that Teri & Ian as well as Bill & Joe outlasted Romber ( thanks to Romeo ) and that U&J were most likely the African Americas behind at the airport in Malaysia ( thanks to izad ) as well as chevy/ through foxburns confirmed sighting in Guam of D/O E/D D/K C/M with D/O most likely getting eliminated in this leg.. then we have Babalu's sister that was the flight attendant with what we know now are most likely the last bunch of eliminated teams heading towards End city, U/J D/O B/J, to meet up at the Finish Line.

11th: John Vito & Jill
10th: Kevin & Drew
9th: Dave & Mary
8th: Rob & Amber
7th: Teri & Ian
6th: Bill & Joe
5th: Uchenna & Joyce

maybe just maybe, they will have enough background footage to get you detectives at least a taste of where the start line might be.

Then in a two weeks or so hopefully some honest to goodness real race footage to tear through.

That's what I thought too.  Speaking of the boot list, I think it'll play out (and we'll have a better shot of knowing so when the page goes live tomorrow, unless TPTB read this post before they put up the site).  While no photos of the F3, IMO, a sibling giving the other sibling info that's not perfectly concreate but enough to make this call is just as good.


As for the photo, sounds right to me.  At least TPTB could've made it a little more challenging by making that photo in black & white, but I guess it didn't matter at this point.  Watch us find out now that John Vito is racing with Erika and not Jill.  Or even Monica, which would be sort of a shock but the blur there makes it look like it's Monica next to John Vito.

Post by: Tyler on January 15, 2007, 05:52:12 PM
Why would JV be racing with Monica? That's idiotic. She's engaged to Joseph.

I don't think that he is racing with Erika. Jill took quite a bit of time off work around the same time of filming. Although it doesn't mean much she logged on her myspace soon after filming was done and had no logons during the actual race.

Blurry picture or not, at least it finally gives an answer to those who were insisting that there would be 13 teams.... :lol:

I can't wait till tomorrow! Even though it looks to be exactly what we all suspected, it makes the start line seem closer somehow--and maybe we'll even get a preview, though I'm sure not counting on it!

Which is why I said it would be sort of a shock.  Really it's a joke, based on what Joseph said on his site about the possibility of three people from his season racing in TAR11.  I couldn't see how could work.  As for Erika, I also doubt it, but wouldn't be surprised because Erika is friends with JVJ.  Finally, I didn't know Jill had a myspace, but I did hear that she took time off of work around the time TAR11 was being taped.

Post by: michael on January 15, 2007, 06:49:19 PM
No, the boot list is just something that was passed along by puddin, and it really is nothing more then spec. at this moment.

The sibling story is that a flight attendant appears to have seen the teams coming home from sequester and told her sister about which teams she saw on the plane, which would tell us who the f3 is because the f3 wouldn't be on the plane.

Same pic. The one with all the names on it was a little confusing considering some of them were wrong and some were right and some were just ?.....Anyways I finished it 30 minutes ago and hear it is....;)

(http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4856/castbl0.jpg)

1 - It's pretty safe to say this is Eric & Danielle. If I recall I think she was wearing that same top in the photo in Malaysia
 
2 - Look at those bald heads! It's Kevin & Drew!
 
3 - Although it's hard to tell in the big picture, you can tell in the small picture that it's Oswald & Danny.
 
4 - Many people have said this is Rob & Amber however I could never see Amber wearing those shorts! Ugh, those are for older people. Not to mention Teri wore those all the time in TAR3. It's got to be Teri & Ian.
 
5 - Obdviously it's Charla & Mirna.
 
6 - It's Dustin & Kandice obdviously.
 
7 - This is somewhat of a mystery but I'm leaning towards Bill & Joe. That shirt looks like somthing both of them would wear. I think they wore somthing similiar to it in TAR1.
 
8 - This is the team I think is Rob & Amber. They always wore red in TAR7. We already know they are on the race and I don't see who else they could be.
 
9 - The girl looks just like Mary! She is even a little overweight just like her too. David & Mary
 
10 - Many people say it's Kris & Jon. Many people say it's John Vito & Jill. As far as I'm concerned it's up in the air.
 
11 - Look at the face on this one. The face is darker then all the others. It's Uchenna & Joyce. It backs up the "possible" Malaysia spotting for the team

MSWOOD, your comment of "maybe just maybe, they will have enough background footage to get you detectives at least a taste of where the start line might be" intrigues me. My best guess is that Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale, the finish line for AR7, is the obvious choice.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on January 15, 2007, 08:09:38 PM
Bonnet House is quite private and would be easy to close off to the public to keep a "secret" start. And the gardens are lovely!

We're talking about the same Erika, no?  It probably isn't Erika, GnarlyMarly, but could you clarify whether it's the BB Erika or TAR5 Erika of Dennis/Erika?  FWIW, TAR5 Erika and Dennis might be an item today, but TAR5 Erika was at TAR9 Finale Party in NYC last year, as was I, and that's where I pretty much learned directly that she and Dennis are Kaput (and again moreso via other people).  However, I know that they were together at the Survivor finale, as well as the BB finale earlier this year.  She did show up with JV, but they've been friends for a long time, but regardless, it's probably definitely Jill.  The picture's hard to see, so when it clears out we'll know that it's Jill who looks a little different than in the past.

Speaking of which, can't wait to see Teri on TAR.  It's been a while, and while I've seen recent photos, all that comes to mind is Teri in 2002.

And yes, georgiapeach in terms of the sibling leak, I was referring to Babalu and her flight attendent sister.  I believe her 100% based on the info that she gave.  I hardly think her sister would joke about that, and Babalu definitely wouldn't.  The only way it would be inaccurate is if TPTB set up some crazy decoy, but with those Malaysia photos, I doubt that it's possible (unless something was missed).  Thanks, MikeD19; that's what I meant.

How did Race challenge contestants who knew the drill? "We had to throw them curveball after curveball, because they all thought they knew what we were doing again," Van Munster says. So the 45,000-mile, 28-day race, which ended Dec. 19, sent them "from extreme cold to extreme heat," a desert in northern Chile to "borderline South Pole" in Antarctica.

ANTARCTICA! I knew it! And who knows where a desert in northern Chile is?

The Atacama Desert of Chile is a sparsely populated virtually rainless plateau, running from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains. The average width is less than 100 miles but it extends 600 miles south from the Peruvian border. The mountains nearest the ocean are the Pacific coastal range, with an average elevation of 2500 feet. The Cordillera Domeyko, a range of foothills of the Andes Mountains, lies east. The Atacama is made up of salt basins (salars) sand and lava flows. The landscape is so desolate it is sometimes described as "moon like". In fact the Atacama has been chosen as a good site to test the prototype of a future lunar rover.

And they're off! Producers chose the all-stars returning to The Amazing Race from more than 200 former contestants. Seven of the show's 10 seasons are represented. Back: Eric and Danielle, left, Oswald and Danny, Uchenna and Joyce, and Drew and Kevin. Middle: Bill and Joe, left, Teri and Ian, David and Mary, and John and Jill. Front: Dustin and Kandice, left, Charla and Mirna, and Amber and Rob


The 'Race' is on, all-star style
Updated 1/16/2007 6:47 AM ET
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
The Amazing Race is back with its first all-star edition as 11 teams of competitors go on their second world trek.
CBS' three-time Emmy winner returns Feb. 18 (Sundays, 8 ET/PT) with teams from seven of its 10 seasons, to be unveiled today. From among the 200 or so previous contestants, "it was very hard to pick favorites," executive producer Bertram Van Munster says. Producers chose partly "in terms of where their life went" since they left the show. "They're not necessarily the winners, but character-wise, they're all-stars in our book."

Only one team — Uchenna and Joyce Agu — was a past winner, in Season 7. But others are standouts: height-challenged Charla Faddoul and cousin Mirna Hindoyan; Joe Baldassare and Bill Bartek (the first season's "team Guido"); Rob and Amber Mariano, who parlayed their Survivor stint into marriage and reality-TV careers; and Kevin O'Connor and Drew Feinberg, amiable, bald best friends from Season 1. Also repeating the Race are two teams from the latest season: coal miner David Conley and wife Mary, and beauty queens Dustin Seltzer and Kandice Pelletier.

Also in the hunt: Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner, who competed on separate teams in Season 9 but later became a couple; Oswald Mendez and Danny Jimenez (Season 2's "Team Cha-Cha-Cha"); John Pietanza and Jill Aquilino, a now-split couple from Season 3; and Teri and Ian Pollack, the oldest couple to finish as runners-up (she's now 53, he's 54), also in Season 3.

How did Race challenge contestants who knew the drill? "We had to throw them curveball after curveball, because they all thought they knew what we were doing again," Van Munster says. So the 45,000-mile, 28-day race, which ended Dec. 19, sent them "from extreme cold to extreme heat," a desert in northern Chile to "borderline South Pole" in Antarctica.
Van Munster says he and co-creator Elise Doganieri had "reservations" about an all-star edition, but he's happy with the results.

"There is a lot of friction right off the bat" between teams, he says. "I'm confident we laid something on the table that will be very unexpected, and story-wise, there were plenty of fireworks."

PUDDIN, your most recent news catches me working on a spec routemap for the race:

1. Quito, Ecuador, including a stop at the Equator
2. Atacama Desert, Chile
3. King George Island, claimed by Chile on the tip of Antarctica
4. Ushuaia, Argentina, including a stop at the tip os South America
5. Maputo, Mozambique
6. unknown
7. unknown
8. Warsaw,Poland
9. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
10. I say Hong Kong, although there has been no corroboration of that
11. I guess Queensland, Australia, because there are nonstop flights from Cairns to
12.  Guam
13. it could be Honolulu or any city with direct flights from there, including those on other Hawaiian islands

Australia is needed to claim "all 7 continents", so the probability of going there now that we know that Antarctica is in is high. There may not be more than 11 or 12 legs; if so, the unkown legs drop off.

apskip I had a feeling the Mozambique (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2666383&view=findpost&p=6835394) spoiler was good ...

( Twop's still down!  :o )

Some friends of mine are Peace Corps vols in Mozambique and claim that the race came through Maputo sometime between Thanksgiving and December 7. One of the destinations was the old Portuguese fort (pictured here: http://tabisite.com/gallery_af/mozambique/91af265.jpg). Unfortunately they didn't have any other details. This does seem consistent with the spoilers that teams were on their way to South Africa, as Maputo is usually reached through Joburg

So much for our dreams of all 7 continents on this race :'(   but I'm still thrilled about Antarctica! :yess:

Random thoughts:

What's with the DVD from Thermacare? Anybody find a link to it on their site?

From the videos:

Loved the Cha's saying they got manicures to "prepare"...
Worried that the Frats didn't prepare...
Break your heart about JVJ--they clearly prepared mentally and physically and have the heart --what happened??
Charla was worried about her running abilities (or lack of!) so she got those shoes with wheels in the heels as a secret weapon--wonder if TPTB will let her use them or would that be considered "extra" help?
Aside from another fugly hat, why did I like Teri and Ian much better than before after seeing their video?
And as a huge BQ fan, why did they annoy me more than before?!
Charla wants to use any prize winnings for more IVF...
Don't think the Guidos have changed one little bit--
I think the inter-team fireworks will be so much fun to watch!

After further review, I don't think it is Bonnet House...I don't remember there being a view of the bay(?) from there, or a boat dock. It is very private with a wall around and this looked more open--almost like a public park? Who's from around there and can help?

Where did everybody go? ???

From the  CBS site  (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race11/about/glossary.shtml):  (bold mine)

  ROUTE MARKER  Yellow and white flag that marks the locations of further instructions.   
 
    YIELD  Each leg of the Race has a YIELD point. Teams must stop at the YIELD location to do two things before continuing along the course: 1) They must check to see if they have been YIELDed by another Team; 2) If no Team has been YIELDed, they must decide whether to use the YIELD or not. If a Team is YIELDed, they must turn over the hourglass and wait until all the sand runs out before they may continue with the Race. A Team may use the YIELD to stop another Team only once throughout the entire course of the Race. However, there is no limit to the number of times that a Team can be YIELDed by the other Teams. 
 
 A Yield on every leg?? No more yellow/red?

On the other hand, no mention of an Intersection, and only 2 Fast Forwards...

 ;) Just based on the way CBS likes to use public parks, and keeping with the theme of using a peninsula (ala Seattle Gas Works Park), a couple possible starting locations can be found near Miami intercoatal waterway on Google Earth:

Oleta State Recreation Area

Bill Baggs State Recreation Area

Neither of which really show the vistas in the previews, but it's a start.  ???  Spoil away!

Thanks puddin! That's a relief! I thought that a yield every week on All Stars would be awful--it would make this much more of a political game (like Survivor) so am very glad if that's not the case.

Know about the Thermacare thingy--I was interested in where they said buy our DVD of the racers but can'tf ind a link...

"borderline South Pole" in Antarctica
I'm not sure what's meant by that. Argentina lumps Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), the offshore islands and the Antarctic station all into one province (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_del_Fuego_Province_%28Argentina%29). Unless they arranged a government plane, there's only one commercial camp: ANI (here's their base in the Patriot Hills (http://www.adventure-network.com/subpage.asp?navid=2&id=9)), which is owned by ALE (here's a charter flight list (http://www.antarctic-logistics.com/flights0607.html) for 2006-2007). ANI/ALE only flies out of Punta Arenas, which is a little more confusing; maybe they didn't leave Ushuaia at all.

SLOWHATCH, you'll have a lot more success if you are researching Antarctica claimed by Chile. There are weekly flights and occasional boat trips into King George Island. It is at the 60th parellel, which some people consider to be Antarctica and others not, which could explain why CBS is hedging on that point. You can find out about the flights from a link on the Ushuaia website.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: Slowhatch on January 16, 2007, 02:47:42 PM
Which link is that? I found a couple of official sites with street maps and photos--the city government website (http://www.ushuaia.gov.ar/) and E-Ushuaia (http://www.e-ushuaia.com/)--but both are in Spanish. Ushuaia seems to a popular starting point for ship tourism; the flights I've found seem to be mostly "fly-overs." The past few weeks I've been checking polar sites like 70 South (http://www.70south.com/news) and the Antarctic Sun (http://antarcticsun.usap.gov/2006-2007/sctn01-14-2007.cfm) for news, but no luck; you'd think if the circus came to town  :ele: somebody would have noticed.

And here is a good  Ushuaia site  (http://www.patagonia-argentina.com/i/tierradelfuego/ushuaia/ushuaia.htm).

Correct me if I am wrong, but when the Yield was first introduced it was there on many of the legs but never used until near the end.  I remembering seeing it in the Moscow Leg of TAR5  (It was seen on the deck of the Battleship Aroura but nobody was shown stopping to use it.) So maybe TPTB who are throwing all kinds of curves will introduce it for many of the legs as originally planned.

Checked with Wikipedia and the Yield was first used in TAR5.  See below:

"Yield  - This was a new element in the game that allowed one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. The Yield was available on each leg, though it was not presented on each episode."

So, yes, we may see the ugly YIELD raise its ugly head on more than two eps.

Actually the offical web site for seasons 6, 7 ,8,9, and 10 and now 11 all mention the Yield as being on every leg.

So I wouldn't put much weight to it.

BTW, that "Key" is in the intercoastal near Miami, not down south by the more famous "Keys", but you already knew that.  ;)  Just a quick thought, I see a bridge behind Uchenna & Joyce, which might imply they are on or near an island linked by a bridge.  Could be any one of a number of places near Miami.   :lol:

From Wikipedia:

 
"Ron & Kelly are Yielded by Rob & Amber (Season 7)The Yield, which was introduced in Season 5, allows any one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. From Season 6 onwards, when there was going to be a Yield, the teams would find the message "Caution, Yield Ahead" in their clue. To Yield an opponent, a team places the picture of the team they wish to yield onto the Yield sign (found near one of the Route Markers). When the yielded team arrives at the Yield, they must turn over an hourglass found on the Yield sign and wait for all the sand to drain before continuing. Each team gets an envelope with their 'courtesy of' sticker at the start of the race (which goes on the bottom-right corner of the Yield sign), and if a team's envelope goes missing, that team loses all power of using any future Yields. [8] Teams like Linda & Karen (Season 5) and Joseph & Monica (Season 9) could not use the Yield, since they had each lost their envelope throughout the course of their respective Races.

Each team is required to stop at the Yield station, and state if they are Yielded or not, and then if they are using the Yield or not to the camera. In the early use of the Yield, teams were required to remove a numbered marker as well when they performed this aspect, though beyond tracking their placement in the leg, these appeared to have no additional purpose.

In Season 5, when the Yield was first introduced, the sign was larger than the future series of the Yield. Teams weren't aware from the clues whether or not there was a yield ahead. In addition, the teams didn't have to pull a number for priority, only when two or more teams were fighting to choose whether to yield a team or not. Only this happened once when Chip and Kim grabbed a number as they were aware Kami and Karli were approaching and wanted reserve in case they wanted to yield Kami and Karli or not. However, when they realized they were the last two teams, rules changed so that all teams were aware of their positions.

Like the Fast Forward, each team may use only one Yield during the game, and only one team may use each Yield. However, each team may be Yielded by other teams an unlimited number of times. From Season 6 to Season 7, the number of Yields totaled three in the entire race, instead of one on every leg. Since Season 6, teams have been warned about an upcoming Yield in the clue immediately preceding it. Like with Fast Forwards, Yields that are present in the race but aren't used and have no affect on the outcome are not aired or mentioned. For example, Season 8 mentioned only having two Yields available on the entire race, but a third Yield on Leg 1 (New York-Pennsylvania) went unaired and unmentioned."

I have information to put forth as the relating to the starting line for AR11. I looked at the photo of causeway behind Uchenna and Joyce. I don't know which it is, but it has to be one of the Broad, Tuttle, Venetian, McArthur, or Rickenbacker becuase that's all there are between Miami Beach (and its islands just south) and the mainland. I am now sorting out the islands in the line of sight of those causeways one by one. I have eliminated the east side of Virginia Key as a possibility even though it looks right because it cannot have the correct view of a causeway with downtown Miami in the background. Its western side has the same problem.

What do you all think about Adams Key as a possibility?

Quote
Adams Key lies on the north side of swift-moving Caesar Creek. Once home to the famed Cocolobo Club, a retreat for people like Carl Fisher, Gar Wood, and Presidents Harding, Hoover, Johnson and Nixon, Adams Key is now a day-use area open from dawn until dusk. A short trail leads through the hardwood hammock, and a picnic pavilion and toilets are also available. There are also two park ranger families living on the island.

hey...im chris...im just a new member here...ive been a big fan of AR since season 4...anyway, ther's something odd about the new profile ofthe beauty queens on cbs.com, dustin's age on the AR10 profile was 26, but on the all-stars profile she's just 25...its so odd...it must be a typo or something..but they released it officialy..im just confused...i mean what is her real age???

Hi Chris! I think she is 25 now, and was 24 at the start of TAR10--so I think the 26 was a typo...

 :js:  BTW peach, I would think wherever the starting line is, it better be connected with a causeway or bridge, as the racers typically drive directly to the airport.  But then again, there may be some surprises in TARAS.   :angel:

In my earlier note, I forgot the Kennedy Causeway. I have used Google Earth to examine each and every island between Bal Harbor to Miami Beach and Miami to North Miami. I have examined them for fit with the available visual context from yesterday's EARLY SHOW information. In particular, I was looking for trails and a sightline over a lengthy section of causeway plus a dock somewhere nearby. Here is what I found:

ISLANDS BETWEEN MIAMI BEACH/Bal Harbor AND MIAMI/North Miami

Category of All Inhabited(in no particular order)
Venetian Islands (DiLido, San Marino, Marco, Rivo Alto)
Belle Isle
La Gorca
Allison
Belle Meade
Sunset Islands
Claughton
Hibiscus
Palm
Star
Sunny Isles
Normandy Isle
Treasure
Harbor
North Bay


Category of Not Having "All Inhabited" as a Reason for Elimination
Pace Picnic – no trails
Sandspur – no trails
Biscayne (northern one) – golf courses (plus rim of housing)
Dodge – buildings/industrial
Fisher – golf courses (plus rim of housing)
Virginia Key – state park
Biscayne(southern one) – a small park area on the southern side
ParkView – no trails
Bird Key – no trails
Watson – all buildings or businesses

It doesn't absolutely have to be north of the Rickenbacker Causeway, but if it is the only one that has a chance is the southern Biscayne Island (south of Pace Picnic, north of Watson and west of Marco to differentiate it from the more northern island with the same name). On its southern side, there is a stretch of trails that look somewhat like what we saw on the Early Show. There is a dock nearby. Vegetation does not seem as lush, but perhaps the difference between Nov.16 to 19 when the pre-race shots were taken and the more winter conditions today might essplain that. The camera angle for the Tuttle Causeway is a good one.

The eastern side of Virginia Key is a better fit for the trails and vegetation, but the camera angles for a causeway and items in the background would not be right from there.

Now that was have teams can we go back to the Maimi Spoiler.  For Starters neither Dustin nor Kandice are wearing pink so they cant be the young girls, [It has to be Teri ironically the oldest person on the race]. Secondly with the "List" maybe it was just coincidence that the spotter said he saw JVJ, and  them being on.  For starters Jill and Danielle look alike, both smaller than their partners and blonde, however Danielle has wavy hair, Jill strait.

With that maybe its possibly JVJ are indeed on the second flight and can now easily be eliminated first, like their friends Denniss and Erika.

Post by: michael on January 17, 2007, 04:49:17 PM
Well, even if JVJ go first, I still wont believe that boot list because them going out early is pretty much known to everyone who reads spoilers..(:;)

I wonder which teams will end up being on the first flight...

Post by: apskip on January 17, 2007, 04:51:01 PM
ASAMBER1, you are wrong about Teri's age. She is 53 and younger than Ian (54), Joe(56) and maybe Bill (53). I could have Joe and Bill's ages reversed, but my point remains valid.

I know i meant youngest woman, sorry.  Still ironic when the spotter said the woman was in her 20's and when shown a pic of Tian [AR4] he said she was to old.

And Mike D19, everyone who reads spoilers knows Romber, JVJ, Teri and Ian, The Frats, and David and Mary are the first 5 teams out, so if JVJ go first the "List" would look to be correct.  Also everyone knows Gudio goes out 6th, UJ 5th, OD 4th, and then that leaves the final three. If their is any doubt to the list my guss would only be that JVJ,  slipped passed cameras, because we know Romber is beat by Teri and Ian, and the Guidos and its unlikly the Frats or Daivd and Mary go far. I mean its possible but i think its only a hope, romber certainlly passed by cameras in AR7, and Dave and Mary did in AR10 in Mauritius.

Also going with my "JVJ second flight theory"  Danielle in her cast pic for AR9 looks to have brown hair [or i least i think its clearly brown] so the spotter would not way be able to recognize her.

Post by: michael on January 17, 2007, 06:08:40 PM
Well, it can all just be lucky guessing based on the spoilers we did know. If the list came out a couple of months ago that would've been a different story.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: mswood on January 17, 2007, 06:35:37 PM
Well you also have to remember just becasue a flight leaves first and is scheduled to land first, it doesn't mean that actually happens.

For example season 9's first flight to leave and scheduled to land first actually arrived 2cd.

So it is possible that John and Jill are on the first flight, but that it actually lands lasts, for whatever reason.  Which would really make an interesting start for the leg.

Or it could be that they are on the 2cd flight all along.

It could be that they just make a couple significant errors.

Or it could be that they aren't eliminated first and actually do well.

Lots of possabilities.

I think we are just really focused on the possible boot list and what situations could make that happen.

Well if I were guessing I would have guessed Mary & David out first and I'm pretty sure a lot of you were thinking the same thing :D! plus Romeo never said Romber went out fourth place all he wrote was that Ian/Teri & the Guidos outlasted Romber.
Anyway I'm going to open up a LEG1 speculation topic and move some posts there so we have a place to start instead of reading through pages of this thread  :waves:

After reviewing Puddin's rundown on page one, I find we have a big hole at the end>

According to CBS release and story in USA Today, the race ended somewhere on December 19.  Now we have the bunch from sequesterville on the flight from Guam to Honolulu on December 15 and we have the three final teams on a flight from Guam to Narita on to Honolulu on December 16.

So we have THREE DAYS UNACCOUNTED FOR.  Do the teams stop in Hawaii as before to complete tasks (part one of a two-part final ep) and then go on to final pit stop and the big bucks on the 18th/19th.  Most flights from Honolulu to mainland are overnight flghts.

But then again, we pretty much know that the race started in Miami on November 20, so if it runs for only 28 days then the end date would be December 17 and not the 19th as CBS reports.  Bun then again, again CBS is not known for the accuracy of its new releases!

Has TAR ever been to Durban before? I can't remember. I was going through Mandy again and I found this reference (http://www.mandy.com/1/services.cfm?c=0prd&t=safr&p=5) (middle of page) for SB productions, which specializes in Durban/KwaZulu-Natal. Their regular website is under construction, but I found this archived page (http://web.archive.org/web/20050920192644/www.sbproductions.co.za/main.htm). (Then again, they might just be the contact company for Maputo.)

If I recall Teri & Ian also checked in on the 18th as well as Eric..

What do you all think about Adams Key as a possibility?  Elliott Key?

I regret to tell you that Google Earth (my new toy) shows nothing of the necessary trails on either Adams Key or Elliott Key. Although Adams Key has a boat dock, it has no causeway camera angle(it's way too far to the Rickenbacker). Elliott Key does not appear to have either a boat dock or a causeway camera angle. It's highlly unlikely that either Adams Key or Elliott Key is the starting line. Besides, Puddin's inside information indicates that the site is somewhere in the Bay Harbor Islands, which could only stretch as far south as Virginia Key.

From an interview with Bert (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20008885,00.html?cnn=yesinterview with Bert[/url), posted in the media thread thanks to peach..

Q: Did you repeat countries or challenges? The all-star Survivor went back to some favorite challenges.

Bert: No. With all great respect to Survivor, I don't take their lead on this one. Our show is global. We go everywhere, so I have a tremendous advantage over coming up with really original ideas in the chaos of the world we know now. So as [people's physical ability] goes down, the mental goes down too, and then you end up with an equal playing field. We went to the southern tip of Chile; we went to Mozambique, where not only do people not speak English, they don't want to speak English.

GEORGIA PEACH, my sleuthing for the magic island continues. Besides Adams Key and Elliott Key, I have eliminated all the islands (all named keys in this vicinity) from Key Biscayne south. This includes Palo Alto, Angelfish, Pumpkin, Porgy, Rubicon Keys, Meigs, Reid, Totten, Old Rhodes, Swan, Linderman, and Arsenicker.

The better news is that I then refocused north of the Tuttle Causeway. A private island has popped up just west of the northern end of Harbor Island. It has a dock, it appeaars to have the right type of trails, and it has a perfect camera angle of Miami with two causeways in front of it. Although it has no name, this could be the island we have been looking for. The Google Earth coordinates are 25 d 51' 10. 57"N and 80 d 09' 47. 62"W.  Comment on the validity of this island is welcomed.

Oh apskip--I'm not having much luck with Google maps :lol:--I can't even find Harbor Island!

Hmmm...unless you mean Pelican Harbor?  Found this:

Quote
Pelican Harbor is a great "in-town" marina where you can cruise the intracoastal for great shopping or dining or head out to sea with great ocean access at either Haulover Inlet or Government Cut. Pelican Island, a nature preserve and bird sanctuary, is just 400 yards offshore. You can take your boat or a marina water-taxi to the beautiful 10-acre island, which has "chickees"--open huts with thatched roofs, barbecue grills, picnic tables and a sand volleyball court. The island is open to the public and can be reserved for large groups.

Approach from Sea: Located midway between Government Cut and Haulover Cut, at ICW St. Mile 1084, just north of the 79th Street Causeway Bascule Bridge on the east side of the ICW. At ICW Marker "25" turn east into the marina basin.

Position: 25° 51.6' N., 80° 09.9' W.

Could this Pelican Island be your island?

I do think Boingo had a good point about being connected by a causeway or bridge so the teams can drive to the airport though.

I found this site with info about  area boat ramps  (http://www.inshore.com/br-dade.html).

Views are from Pelican Harbor Marina--do they help?

GEORGIA PEACH, the answer to your question from last evening if that I watch The Travel Channel on Thursday nights. It looks lke I missed out on an incredible amount of activity and progress. The island you have found just to the south of my private island is no doubt named becuase it is shaped like a pelican. I had focused on the part south of the Causeway looking for trails because it was obvious that there weren't any on the north side. The idea of a two-island combination never occurred to me, but van Munster can be tricky.

Post by: apskip on January 19, 2007, 08:21:55 AM
GEORGIA PEACH, to catch up on one request from yesterday, Harbor Island is the one just east of Pelican Harbor. It is shaped like a U. Pelican Island (which I have been calling a private island) is just west of the northern tip of Harbor Island.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on January 19, 2007, 01:33:50 PM
I have turned my attention to legs beyond the first one, specifically to legs 2, 3, and 4. Leg 2 should be a trip to the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. There are 3 possible airports there: Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta. The highest probability (by a small amount) of these three goes to Antofagasta, which is a mere 600 miles by road from Santiago. That opens up the possibility of a long bus or self-drive trip to begin leg 3; it also might be a flight to Santiago. The rest of leg three will be a flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas, Chile. The most logical next step is a flight to King George Island(Isla Rey Jorge), which is 100 miles off the Antarctic Peninsula, and overnight there followed by a return to Punta Arenas. Given the times and distances involved this could mean a double leg. For leg 4, from Punta Arenas there is a 3 times per week one hour LAN flight or a twice per week 11 3/4 hour bus involving crossing the Straight of Magellan to get to Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, Argentina. The one thing that is certain (beacuse van Munster said so) is a trip to the bottom of South America. That is Cape Horn, Chile, a national park on an island  and it is about 125 miles south of Ushuaia. The teams would have to do that by boat or helicopter. After returning to Ushuaia, then you can fly out to get to southern Africa. My guess is that the flights connect through Buenos Aires.

That's the fun of this--one person finds something which leads to somewhere else which leads to...and before you know it --we have something solved.

And now I think I was really lucky to have found that at all--my map shows that U-shaped island as North Bay Island so it is a miracle I was in the neighborhood at all! :lol:

Good luck searching for flights--do you know about  amadeus.net  (http://www.amadeus.net/home/index.htm) --it is a big help because you can put in old dates and get some leads...

I went to 48 Rue du Fauburg St. Honore, the place of Anatomy Fashion.  Door was locked.  I walked on to Place de la Concorde.  It took 7 minutes. 

La Grande Roue is Back!

I walked on to the corner of Rue de La Chaise and Rue de Varenne, the place of "Art".  That walk took 20 min.  Disappointed that I could not get in to Anatomy, and late for lunch at Le Cinq, I took a taxi back to "Fashion".  I asked the driver to wait.  He was not happy but he said three to five minutes "okay".  This time I read a little note by the doorbell that said words to the effect "Press to Enter".  Buzzzz.  Nothing.  Repeat.  Rethinking:  buzzzz, push!!  That was the trick.  The door opened.  I went up the stairs, many stories, all the way to the top.  Each floor had one and only one black door.  But no "Anatomy" sign on any of them as there was in the show.  I should have made an appointment.  So, sorry Peach, no jacket souvenir.   :'(

And the door would not open to let me out!   I was waving to passersby to get them to open the door for me.  Turns out there was another buzzer button you had to press to get out!  Firetrap I say.

Yes lots of lights!  But those pictures sucked.  I still need to get to know my camera.

Some friends of mine are Peace Corps vols in Mozambique and claim that the race came through Maputo sometime between Thanksgiving and December 7. One of the destinations was the old Portuguese fort (pictured here: http://tabisite.com/gallery_af/mozambique/91af265.jpg). Unfortunately they didn't have any other details. This does seem consistent with the spoilers that teams were on their way to South Africa, as Maputo is usually reached through Joburg.

GEORGIA PEACH, your comment that "my map shows that U-shaped island as North Bay Island so it is a miracle I was in the neighborhood at all!" underscores the serendipity factor at work here. According to Google Earth, which I will take as a reasonable expert even though they don't label Pelican Island as such, North Bay Island is that portion of the island which is south of the causeway. The part that is north (the U-shaped part) is Harbor Island. It is quite unusual to have one island split into two names like that.

Post by: apskip on January 20, 2007, 04:06:41 PM
This will be a follow-up on my post from yesterday speculating on the routes to be used for legs 2, 3, and 4. This is going to have a lot of detail in airline schedules, so if that bores you tune out. For leg 2 from Quito to each of the three Atacama desert cities, there are these possibilities for flying, all but two involving an overnight flight from Quito through Santiago:

QUITO to ARICA
departs 1805 through Lima and Santiago arriving 1050
departs 2145 through Santiago arriving 1320

QUITO to IQUIQUE
departs 2145 through Santiago arriving 1045 or 1135
departs 0740 through Panama City (?? 1000 miles north) and Santiago arriving 0045 next day
departs 1805 through Lima and Santa Cruz Bolivia arriving 0550

QUITO to ANTOFAGASTA
departs 2145 through Santiago arriving 0925 or 1015
departs 1805 through Lima and Santiago arriving 0845


For leg 3, all reasonable flights go through Santiago (although it is posiible to get to Punta Arenas through Puerto Montt, Argentina). There are 4 flights per day from Santiago to Punta Arenas:

depart 1110 arrive 1430
depart 1240 arrive 1700
depart 2030 arrive 2350
depart 2355 arrive 0315 next day

The flights that connect to those are:

From ARICA - depart 0725 arrive 1120, depart 1400 arrive 1720, depart 1850 arrive 2210

From IQUIQUE - depart 0700 arrive 0900, depart 0810 arrive 1110, depart 1500 arrive 1720, depart 2000 arrive 2210

From ANTOFAGASTA - depart 0830 arrive 1020, depart 0925 arrive 1110, depart 1430 arrive 1615, depart 2110 arrive 2255

I expect leg 4 to involve a trip from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. LAN 997 takes only 50 minutes but is available once at 1400 on Monday, Wenesday and Saturday in that direction.

I also decided to take a crack at leg 5, which I expect to be from Ushuaia to Maputo Mozambique (Note: I disagree with those who think there is going to be another pit stop in South Africa). Here there are basically two choices and only one makes any sense. the non-sensical one involves getting the direct flight to Maputo from Lisbon, Portugal. The problem is the extra 5000 or so miles in each direction to get up to Lisbon and back down. It takes an extra day according to flights schedules. The smarter approach is to take South Africa Airways flight 206 out of Sao Paulo Brazil nonstop to Johannesburg South Africa. It connects there with Mozambique Airlines, with a second morning arrival in Maputo at 940am. The flights out of Ushuaia are a 2136 departure on Aerolineas Argentinas to Buenos Aires, a transfer between terminals in Buenos Aires, then a wide assortment of choices to fly to Sao Paulo to get SAA206.

The first test of some of my transportation theories will come on Feb. 25 when episode 2 will air (if it isn't preempted by the Oscars).

La Grande Roue is Back!

I love La Grande Roue! Sometime after TAR 1 aired--I was in Paris on a cold winter's night...and being the TAR freak that I am decided that of course, I HAD to ride the thing! Given my schedule and hours of op--I think it was about 11PM when I finally made it over there and made my way on board. It was absolutely fabulous! All of the French monuments were lit up for Christmas and the views from the Eiffel Tower to Montmartre were spectacular--truly a magical moment. And since there was absolutely NO sense of motion on the Roue--I stayed on the thing for a LONG time--I think that after my 3rd "go round", they even quit charging me! Good times--and somewhere there is a picture to prove it!

Chateau--did you go round??

What fun to see some of our hard earned clues come to life--thanks for sharing your pictures!

Post by: Chateau d If on January 20, 2007, 05:13:54 PM
No Roue ride for me.   :'(

The reason I was so excited to see it on this trip is that it had been taken down for some time.  It was not there in the summer of 2003 when I brought my kids.

Another note is that for the "Art" half of the detour the teams were supposed to take a painting to "this man".  And I finally recognized where he was sitting.  I should   :groan:  Because he was sitting on the Quai d'Orleans exactly in front of the apartment we were staying at that summer:  30 Quai d'Orleans (http://www.chezvous.com/apartments.php?id=10&sort=arrondissement&select=4)   Click on the "V" to see the view from the living room window.

I won't spoil it for Chateau, but the hand might seem like a good TAR-thing. I'll throw in another, on spec: parapenting in Iquique. The town is a magnet for the sport: a gigantic sand dune, Cerro Dragon (http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/homes/s0343482/cerrodragon.jpg), rises over the city, and steady updrafts make for easy tandem flights (helmet-cam here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViEQUQieocU)).

I think that The Early Show footage was filmed not at Pelican Harbor Marina itself, but at  Pelican Island  (http://www.miamidade.gov/parks/Parks/pelican_harbor.asp), the little island at the top in the picture--located about 400 yards offshore from the marina.

But do they actually LEAVE from somewhere else? Spill the beans puddin! :lol:

That's not OUR Pelican Island--that is  The Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge  (http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=41572) located up in the Indian River in Sebastian Florida--up near Vero Beach.

When I was looking for OUR island--I kept getting diverted here--which is one of the things that made finding ours tricky. How dare they have two Pelican islands in Florida!

We know our guys were at our island for sure by TES footage. Where their cars were is still unknown though--the Marina is a possibility but could be anywhere nearby!

In case you don't speak Spanish (?)--Chateau's hand is about 40 miles south of :

Antofagasta in the Atacama desert a giant hand scuplture of fiberglass is the work of Chilean artist Mario Irrizábal. It is known as La Mano del Desierto - The Hand of the Desert - and is a landmark beside the Panamerican highway which runs north south through the Atacama desert.

We know our guys were at our island for sure by TES footage. Where their cars were is still unknown though--the Marina is a possibility but could be anywhere nearby!
 
 

So our little island was the site of the media photos but we still need a place for the cars to leave from--might be the place behind Phil--we'll need to look again when we get a promo...

It looks like its a nature park behind Phil so maybe the racers have to run through the park to get to the cars ..........Just saying this because earlier when i was a guest I saw this Question.

GEORGIA PEACH, I have some thoughts about the second Phil photo. It looks like the royal palm trees in the background are at a golf course. I have investigated all golf courses on islands in the area or in Bal Harbor North Miami Beach, or Miami Beach. I come up with this list:

Bayshore Country Club - on Alton Drive in Miami Beach
Bayshore Country Club - a little further north on Alton Drive in Miami Beach
La Gorce Golf Course - further north on Alton Drive in Miami Beach
Normandy Shores Gulf Club - on Biarritz Drive at the west end of the upper part of Normandy Isle
Indian Creek Country Club - in the middle of Indian Creek Village, just west of Surfside; it looks like an isalnd but is not named as one
Haulover Golf Course - on Collins Avenue at the north end of Bal Harbor

I can't get ground-level shots of any of these, only coming down from on top, so it is impossible for me to match up any of these with Phil's photo.

This has nothing to do with TARAS, but I thought I would just throw this in for the heck of it.  Appllications for TAR12 closed on January 16.  Did any of our guys apply?  Puddin?  According to rules TAR12 will start filming anytime in late May to July for airdate in August.

Also noted is that TAR Central Europe will be producing their first show this spring with contestants from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria.

SO, it just might be that I will be either running into TAR12 or TARCE during my May-June trip to Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria. :yess:

Sounds like quite the trip Gman  :jumpy: << puddin packing her bags!! The only thing is TAR12 has not been officially picked up yet by cBS but me thinks the All Star ratings will soar and TPTB will get the results they were hoping for :yess:

SUPS!!!!!!!!  :waves: I was thinking about you!!  :kissy: None of my teams made the playoffs so were going for the underdogs COLTS!!

and as far as this picture of Phil goes...I'm thinking it was just a photo opportunity not the official browsie :naughtyd: , just a guess.

Maybe its Pelican Island? I just heard it doesn't start at the Pelican Harbor Marina  :lol:, i have no specifics.

 :meow: Just when we were getting comfortable with the starting line, here comes puddin throwing a "monkey wrench" in the works.  LOL.  She may be right.   :groan:  While the team photo pix were taken on the island, the starting line with Phil may well NOT be at Pelican Island Marina Park.  After looking at the GE pix of the marina park, I don't see the (royal) palms anywhere near the park.  However, the only clearing on Pelican Island itself does have a row of palms, and a very very small grassy area next to the sand covered vollyball area, BUT can you imagine cramming 22 racers, Phil, and a dozen or so crew members on a patch of ground that small?  LOL.  I doubt it.  Soooo.....the actual starting line is most likely in a third location.  Here we go again.   :knuckles:

I think I have found a possibility for the start location.  It is the Crandon Golf Course located on the "island paradise" of Key Biscayne:  6700 Crandon Boulevard, Key Biscayne, Florida 33149

I put some indicators on a GE image of the golf course.  The yellow arrow are the direction of the morning sunlight on November 20th.  The thick red arrow is the direction of Phil's torso during the "Go" shot.  The thin red arrow is the direction he has turned his head.  The camera angle for the "Go" shot is shown.  The thick orange arrow is the direction of Phil's torso during the "gone" shot.  And the thin orange arrow is the direction he has turned his head.  The camera angle for the "gone" shot is also shown.

The teams are shown as a lime crescent.  They will run southwest to the parking lot.

Wow  Chateau! :jumpy:!  How did you ever find that! Great job!

This all seems very possible--with an early morning start it seems reasonable that the back 9 might be able to be closed off for a little--there would be a place for cars (or golf carts :lol:)--it isn't far from the airport.

Chateau--I found some more ground level shots--maybe some of them will help...Unfortunately they don't identify which hole is which--but looks like you have us between the 9th and 10th?

This is the site of the PGA Senior Caribbean Classic--anybody have that on tape?? ;D

I've found the golf manager and will be glad to call on Tuesday if y'all want me to... ;)

So how does media day work? Any possibility that these photos could have been taken the day BEFORE the teams actually left? 2PM makes it a little late to get to the airport...(Thanks Chateau for the times!)

GEORGIA PEACH, no 2pm is not explainable as on the day of the start. It has to be on a different day. Charla and Mirna were spotted at Miami International Airport on Monday Nov. 20 before NOON. The first flight was scheduled to leave at 350pm if I remember correctly. The racers were in lockdown from Nov. 16 or 17 until Nov. 20, so there were multiple days for all the publcity photos tobe taken. This also allowed time for use of multiple sites (there appear to be 3 that those working this have discovered, as you know from being in the middle of it just like I have).

You can wear whatever you want.  Media day was the day before we left.  The place we had our media day was not the same place we started the race from though.  We did the walking by the camera thing the morning we left.  So those clothes would be the same ones they would start the race in.

I don't have much evidence on Poland.. basically that's what I think I heard. All I'm guessing is the teams must be from a really far place from KL for the fifth team to be so far behind the other four (if they were coming in from a much closer place/country, or if that place have lots of choices for connecting flights, I'm pretty sure the fifth team would've figured out some other flight options.. but they were at least 7-8 hours behind)

HI TAMMY! your one of my favorite teams of all time!.......but anyway where paying attention to the starting line.  Im curious about where the finnish line is. Maybe Eric is leaving a hint with his Myspace name. "Go F*** yourself san diego." I know its from a movie or a song or somthin but maybe he`s kinda hiding it. I dont know it was just a thought.
A few pages back we already discussed that Eric's my space sig was there before the race started reality.tv. and could not have anything to do with Eric hinting to where the End City might be.

I still think end city might be Hawaii.  Why would they fly from  Guam(US territory-customs) into Hawaii only to fly somewhere else in the States.

On the question of finish line city, I agree with BANREDBEANS. I consider Honolulu to be the most likely. Just because previous seasons only used the Hawaiian islands as a brief stopover on the way back to the lower 48, this does not mean that AR11 should not be ground-breaking and do it differently. My second favorite is any other major Hawaiian island (Hawaii, Kauai, Mauai, Molokai, Lanai). My third favorite is San Diego, just because it has never been a finish line city and L.A., San Francisco, and Seattle (plus Phoenix and Denver) have.

We know that the final 3 flew from Guam to Honolulu. From there they could have transferred to another flight back to the lower 48, done some tasks and then got on a flight back to the lower 48, or done tasks on Oahu or one of the major Hawaiian islands. I consider the last one the highest in probability.

Another thing to consider: Why send the eliminated racers to Hawaii?  ??? If the final city is on the mainland, production could save money by sending them directly from Narita/Nagoya (plenty of flights available).

Interesting idea to end in Hawaii.  My "problem" with this idea is that the racer will not have raced around the world.  Miami is 6000 miles from Hawaii.  I am trying to recall if any season of TAR ended in a different time zone that when it started.

GATOR27, the answer is that there have been several. AR3 started in Miami and ended in Seattle (-3 time zones). AR10 started in Seattle and ended in New York (+3 time zones). Also, the non-round-the-world AR8 Family Edition started in New York City and ended near Buffalo NY. For the record here is the list of all ten departure and finish line metropolitan areas:

1  NYC           NYC
2  Las Vegas   San Francisco
3  Miami         Seattle
4  Los AngelesPhoenix
5  Los AngelesDallas
6 Chicago      Chicago
7 Los Angeles Miami
8 NYC            Buffalo NY
9 Denver       Denver
10 Seattle      NYC 

Also, Miami is approximately 5000 miles from Honolulu, not 6000.

Are we ready to start speculating more about Ecuador and the Atacama desert?


Sure peach..whatever you want  :kissy: .
posted by izad  (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessageRange?topicID=7502.topic&start=841&stop=842) today in reply to a question on Poland..
I don't have much evidence on Poland.. basically that's what I think I heard. All I'm guessing is the teams must be from a really far place from KL for the fifth team to be so far behind the other four (if they were coming in from a much closer place/country, or if that place have lots of choices for connecting flights, I'm pretty sure the fifth team would've figured out some other flight options.. but they were at least 7-8 hours behind) 

Lots of interesting places to visit in Poland besides Warsaw:

Warsaw

The Royal Castle
Old Town Market Square
St. Anna's Church
St. John's Cathedral
Monument to the Ghetto Heros
Wilanow Palace and Park
Lazienki Park and Palaces
    Chopin Monument
    Myslewicki Palace
    The White House
    Palace on the Water

Cracow
The Wawel
   Royal Castle
   Cathedral (Church of Pope John Paul II before moving to Rome)
  "Lost Wawel" Exhibition including catacombs
Florian Gate
Main Market Square (the largest in Europe
   Cloth Hall
   Church of St. Mary's (the famous trumpet call from Hejnal Tower is recreated hourly)
Old Synagogue (one of the oldest in Europe 1500AD)

And nearby:

Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec
Monastery of Jasna Gora in Czestochowa
     Knights Hall
     Black Madonna (the most famous icon of the Catholic Faith in Poland)

Eagles' Nest Trail

Oswiecim (Auschwitz)

Wieliczka Salt Mines (really outstanding and must be visited.  Opened 700 years ago and includes vast underground chambers, sculptures, and the impressive Chapel of St. Kinga with sculptures carved from salt.

Just a few of the many places that could be visited in Poland, all within driving distance of Warsaw.

Oh Gingerman--you make me want to go! I HOPE that Poland stays on our short list--but it is looking a little unclear.

IIRC, the first mention of Poland came from someone at Sucks who had a friend  who reportedly saw Nancy/Emily and Derek/Drew on a plane to Germany and reported that they were  going on to Poland  (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessage?topicID=7265.topic&index=1133). Clearly that spoiler can't be relied on.

The next mention was from  Izad  (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessage?topicID=7459.topic&index=1), who said that the teams arrived in Malaysia from Poland. However, he has since qualified this by posting  that Poland could just be a stopover--or was it Holland?  (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessage?topicID=7459.topic&index=662). Maybe he is pulling our legs--but Poland doesn't seem to be a sure thing at all. :'(

Does anyone remember anything else?

Izad--if you are out there--could you help us out?

I just checked Airwise for flights from Warsaw to Kuala Lumpur on December 9th.  There are are no direct flights.  So it could not have been a stop over. 

If they did come from Warsaw then the connections would have been in Amsterdam, Paris, or Frankfurt.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on January 25, 2007, 10:32:47 AM
Thanks Chateau!

And those connections require some pretty significant back tracking. What about through Bangkok? ???

Guess we won't know for sure till we get a promo to "spoil" but I've always thought that Mozambique to Poland to Malaysia was a weird route. There would be so many other cool places in Africa, India, and Asia that they could go to more directly.

And do we think that TPTB would have wanted to avoid Europe in favor of the more exotic?--especially since spoiler evidence seems in short supply in hindsight...

Still--Poland sounds most interesting!

We have a significant time gap between Maputo, Mozambique and Kuala Lumpur - December 2 to December 9 so the teams could very well go north to Europe (one of the five continents visited) to places like Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia and Poland which have not been visited in previous TARs

I want to get back to what GEORGIA PEACH said "Are we ready to start speculating more about Ecuador and the Atacama desert?". I previously indicated that the 3 airport cities in the Atacama Desert are Arica, Iquique, and Antofagasta and that I gave a slight edge to Antofagasta based on proximity (only 600 miles) to Santiago. Today I was reading the blog of an intrepid traveler who went the entire length of the Pan American Highway from Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia. He had his car shipped from Panama City into the port of Arica. In his travels in the Atacama, he particularly referenced the Mano Del Desierto statue (previously displayed in this thread by someone) 75 km south of Antofagasta and the fact that Antofagasta is directly on the Tropic of Capricorn (which is South 23 degrees 26' 21.48"). It goes through the International Airport of Antofagasta. That seems to me to be an excellent reason to be going there. The connection Equator to Tropic of Capricorn to maybe Antarctic Circle (South 66 degrees 33' 39") would be a whiz-bang start to AR11. My hypothesis of visiting King George Island doesn't quite reach south enough for the Antarctic Circle, but who knows what they would do to overcome that distance. They could take helicopters 300 miles south to the Antarctic Peninsula at the Loubert Coast and they would have it.

I'm all for that!  :yess: I'll be so disappointed if they don't go to Antarctica (or south pole or whatever Bertram called it)

That blog sounds like something I would LOVE to read--can you provide a link to that? (Feel free to send me a message if you need help doing that--it took me ages to learn and I just about drove puddin crazy with questions while I learned... :js:)

I actually heard 'an African American couple' but I don't really have any evidence if Ucheynna/Joyce were really indeed the 5th team to arrive (I didn't stay there long enough). And also from what I heard they were coming in from Poland.

For all I know, they just might be trying to throw me off with the info, but I doubt they know I was an evil eavesdropping ****er at the time  I can't tell if they really were trying to throw me off, or I had somehow misheard the info. But it probably would make a lot of sense that they were coming from a really long distance for the 5th team to be delayed so far behind the other teams. That's my assumption anyway. I guess we'll see.


And I'll call the golf course on Monday if you want... :waves: What should I ask? "Which holes did they use?" :js: (you mean November though, right?)

Didn't puddin post the date of the first promo somewhere upstream--I'm leaving to go see Dreamgirls or I would check!

yes  :-[, November 20th.  Thanks.

I'm speculating that their first destination of the race will be the Matad del Mundo monument.

From the airport, it's only 11.5 miles away.  Here's the path.  There is one tricky transition between the airport's main roan and the highway out to the monument.  If you don't make the crossover then you get stuck on the wrong side of a river.  It could even mess up a taxi driver!

I am going to be in so much trouble! That is the night of my best friend's annual Oscar party (really a big deal) and I have been told in no uncertain terms that I better be there! Wonder if they would notice if I changed the channel for an hour?!  Or brought my laptop? :lol: Oh, well, y'all can laugh at the thought of my watching the Oscar's in my sequin's and feather boa!

Mike I think TAR10 was 90 minutes? TPTB probably don't have to waste 30 minutes this time around because we know he cast which is a good thing I guess?

peach! no way I would give up the Race for the Oscars unless I was invited to attend  ;D !!    :dontgo:(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/misc/millan/oscars.gif)

Mike--I think I read somewhere that the last 1 hour premiere was TAR 3, but IIRC, some were two hours and some were 90 minutes. One hour doesn't seem enough to introduce them all, get them to the airport, much less get them thru a Detour, a Roadblock, and a Philimination.
But since puddin 's info says second team eliminated the next week, I guess we can say the first episode is not a NEL.



puddin--I might be a former best friend if I don't go! But I have a little hand held TV and I might feel a really long bathroom break coming on at 8PM! :lol:
Yeah, I don't mind seeing the highlights of the Oscars, but the whole thing--not so much.

Post by: michael on January 29, 2007, 04:20:25 PM
is it possible that the first episode is 90 minutes - 2 hours but the media has failed to report this yet? I doubt it. IT'S SO SOON! I CAN'T WAIT  :jumpy:

Should we start a pool to decide when we will see the first TAR All-Star TV promo?

During the Super Bowl on CBS!
Hey gator gets his wish!! and wins the pool!!
..........yadda yadda cut to this part

In addition to paid ad spots, CBS has big plans to promote its own schedule and talent before the game's estimated 95 million viewers.

"We look at it the same way our advertisers do; it's a huge showcase, and we pay close attention to every single second that goes into that game," said CBS marketing prexy George Schweitzer.

The network won't divulge its exact promotion plans, but the Monday premiere of the comedy "Rules of Engagement" will get special attention, as will the premiere of "Survivor" on Feb. 8. Also getting a promotional bump will be "The Amazing Race," which returns two weeks later.

The interesting thing on that map to me was how near it is to a "cargo handling Bay" there---was it season 3 that they had to load a container onto something? Maybe Tara did it? Good find Slowhatch!

See I knew I loved Football.

Go Bears (only becasue if I won 1500 so far on you this season if you win I win about anotehr grand, so go Bears)

Lets see I was saying about forever ago, that we should get first commercials about two weeks before the the first episode.  And that wil be spot on.

I just absolutely can't wait for this season.

The one plus to knowing the teams, is that it really has built an interest early on more then the typical season for me.

That damn beach bum better win!!!

My take for what its worth is this STUPID LESBOO took a plane to Hong Kong for a vacation and ran into some filming of Amazing Race, maybe at the airport from airport...I think?  and then made a blog entry to tell their friend Tian about her trip  :lol:

Nothing at the TC website about additional airings of that episode. I've been googling Siu Sai Wan attractions, but it's just some shopping and a few hiking trails. If I were producing this leg, I'd give all the teams Octopus cards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus_card) instead of cash and tell them when the value is used up, they're on their own.  ;D

starts off:
We are off to Hawaii, Guam, Australia and New Zealand for some adventure and fun
Written by justincourt

Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking out our travel blogg. Now that we are moved in and situated we are traveling for a month and a half to do some adventure seeking. We will begin our trip in Oahu for 5 days, then off to Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania for the rest f the time. We have booked some exciting trips so stay tuned for stories and photos !!

Start of travels: Nov 01, 2006
End of travels: Dec 18, 2006



Entry 6 of 6

G'day from Australia and NZ
Christ church, New Zealand
Dec 19, 2006  18:33 ( local time )

Our trip back was quite interesting. We left Cairns at 1:30am and flew to Guam arriving at 6:30 am. We then got a room and slept for a couple of hours and then got back on the plane had a stop over in Japan and then arrived in Hawaii for 24hours where we tried to get used to the time difference and enjoyed the last warm days of our trip. We took our 3rd red eye to Los Angeles then to Cleveland and finally home. We both had a wonderful time but are exhausted and are having trouble adjusting back to EST. We slept an hour last night but ended up staying up to 5 am. ?
One interesting thing that occurred to us on our travels was that we ended up on a flight with the Amazing race. They were taping the next season and it was cool to see what was going on behind the scenes.

It's Justincourt's Anguilla wedding photos; they're not racers, just a guy who happened to be on the same flight as TAR (he doesn't say specifically, but I'm presuming it's GUM-HNL). I figured out how to work the map, btw; you click the bar on top that says "view classic map" and the links work; unfortunately, there's no final leg photos, just the blog stuff already posted.

SLOWHATCH, I was inspired by the work that you and PUDDIN have been doing on Justincourt's blog. I have sent a message to Justincourt, but it may be a while before I get a reply. The message asked for clarification of which plane flight Justincourt was on with the Amazing Race contestants. It could be Cairns to Guam, Guam to Nagoya, or Nagoya to Honolulu, as Justincourt flew all of those legs and we know the last two were done by the Final 3. If the answer comes back Cairns to Guam (which is what I am hoping for), then we would have confirmation of AR11 having gone to Australia.

THOUGHTS ON SIU SAI WAN, HONG KONG

I decided to break out my Hong Kong guidebooks to see what they say about Siu Sai Wan. I have visited Hong Kong twice in the past 30 years and have 4 guidebooks that are exclusively Hong Kong. None of these guidebooks uses the words "Siu Sai Wan". It appears that van Munster/Doganieri tried to find the most out-of-the-way section of either Kowloon or Hong Kong Island so that there would be minimal sighting of the Amazing Race in Hong Kong.

Siu Sai Wan is a residential area on Hong Kong Island developed 30 to 40 years ago. It is located in the eastern part of Chai Wan. If you are on top of Victoria Peak it is on the right edge of the island you are on. If you are on Kowloon facing Hong Kong Island, it is around the far corner on the left. It is strictly a residential area with one exception, the Siu Sai Wan Sporting Ground, a 12000 seat soccer stadium. There may be an AR11 task involving soccer there.

We must have RFF members living in Hong Kong. It would be great if they could elaborate and help those of us elsewhere to better understand what Amazing Race activities would be logical for Siu Sai Wan other than going to a clue box in a school.

Shau Kei Wan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shau_Kei_Wan) is just a little northwest of Siu Sai Wan; it's another residential area with shopping areas, a fish market, docks, and some more hiking trails. (kmz attached)

ANTARCTICA

Today's weekly travel issue of Newsday.com contained a really good article "Over Antarctica" about the flight that 33 passengers of a cruise ship took from Puntas Arenas Chile down over King George Island and selected parts (unidentified) of the Antarctic Peninsula. This summary of travel options at the end of the article may interest you:

Our Antarctic flyover out of Punta Arenas, Chile, was offered as an extra-cost excursion to passengers of the Norwegian Crown ship (ncl.com) that sails from November through March between Buenos Aires and Santiago, Chile. Price of the excursion: $1,599 (all prices in this story are subject to change).
These programs are limited to cruise passengers, but there are options for civilians. Among those we found:

Aerovias DAP (011-56-61-223340; aeroviasdap.cl), a Chilean airline serving Patagonia, offers one-day flightseeing and a two-day, one-night program that includes an overnight at a base on King George Island, one of the islands off the coast of continental Antarctica.
Upside to King George Island: It's popular with penguins and technically qualifies as "Antarctica," if you're keeping score. Downside: When you're there (the "season" is December through March), its usual lack of ice and snow won't match your image of Antarctica.
Price of that flyover (subject to change) is $2,300; the overnight version is $2,950. Depending on demand, the aircraft can be an eight-seat Beechcraft or a 40-passenger plane. Other points: Hefty non-refundable deposits are required, and passengers are advised to plan on spending several nights in Punta Arenas (not a bad place to spend several nights, under these circumstances) to allow for alternate dates in case the weather doesn't cooperate.
"It's amazing," Isabel, a reservationist in the Punta Arenas office who made the trip in March 2006, said of the experience. "And you can see the penguins very close."

An option that combines the flight, which eliminates the days and potential discomfort associated with crossing the Drake Passage by ship, with a ship-based expedition is offered by AntarcticaXXI (011-56-61-228783; antarcticaxxi.com), also based in Punta Arenas.
This program flies passengers in a 50-seat plane to King George Island, where they board an expedition vessel (limit: 46 passengers) and off they go.
Prices for the seven-day program start at $7,100 per person, double occupancy.

Flyovers from New Zealand, nearest gateway after South America, ended after a 1979 flight crashed into 13,200-foot Mt. Erebus on the continent, killing 257 passengers and crew. But Antarctica flightseeing from the region resumed in 1994, and these days there are two flights annually, both from Australia -- one out of Sydney and a second leaving from Sydney with a stop in Melbourne. The most recent was on New Year's Eve, and the next is scheduled for Feb. 7. These are 12-hour flights -- four hours to Antarctica, four over the continent and four back -- aboard a Qantas Boeing 747, with prices based on seat location. Prices: from $713 for a seat you probably don't want to $4,126 for First Class and a guaranteed window seat during prime time. Food and bar included. Details: Australia-based Croydon Travel (011-61-3-9725-8555; antarcticaflights.com.au).

Now, if you're really serious about this Antarctica thing and can afford the cost of seriousness, there's a U.S.-owned company that operates out of Punta Arenas with programs that fly you into the interior: Adventure Network International (adventure-network.com). Among its programs: an Ice Marathon. Price: $15,000. A seven- or eight-day adventure that will get you to the South Pole and back runs a tidy $33,500. There are more options. A Wilmette, Ill., agency that features adventure travel, Northwest Passage (800-732-7328; nwpassage.com), can answer questions.

Most other access to Antarctica is via ship out of (or at least stopping in) Ushuaia, Argentina, in vessels ranging from luxury cruisers to small-ship expeditions utilizing converted Russian icebreakers. Prices are all over the map.

I tried the kmz again and it worked for me. I remember the same thing happened to me a long time ago (zoomed in to Africa), but I can't remember what I did to fix it. In the meantime, you can go to Centamap (http://www.centamap.com/gc/home.aspx), click English, then enter "Shau Kei Wan" in the search box and click on the first result you get. Once you get the view you want, click "google satellite image" to switch to photo view.

GEORGIAPEACH, it continues to be your lucky day! I have unearthed a gem about the Atacama Desert. First a tourist map:

 ATACAMA DESERT TOURIST MAP  (http://www.explore-atacama.com/eng/maps.htm)


Please note that the sites that we think are likely to be important to van Munster/Doganieri like the Tropic of Capricorn and the Mano del Desierto are not even shown, which I find strange.

What is shown is 9 major tourist attractions, each of which has multiple pretty pictures that you can bring up and some interesting text about it:

Ushuaia, Argentina   
 
Monday, Nov 27, 2006  17:09 

Alter a 7 hour flight with a terrible hangover from Thanksgiving, we arrived in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the World!!!! It really feels like it…the sun rises around 4:30 AM and does not set until 10:30 PM. We went on an excursion that took us through the Beagle Channel where we stopped at several islands to see the sea lions, birds, and some famous lighthouse. The following day Dave and I headed out to the Tierra del Fuego Nacional Park. We did a few small treks and at the southern most point of the park where Route 3 ends, we ran into contestants from the AMAZING RACE!!! (that might be the most exciting thing we saw in Ushuaia) Dave and I tried to run and get in on the action but we were ignored. PS, it is soooo staged. I don't have many pics because I need my battery to last longer

Very nice Slowhatch  :yess:!!

Tierra Del Fuego National Park (http://www.patagonia-argentina.com/i/tierradelfuego/ushuaia/parque.htm)

Patagonia Argentina offers you the opportunity to visit all the corners of Patagonia guided by experts. For this reason, our travel proposals are special, allowing you to profoundly experience the end of the world. And this excursion into the National Park of Tierra del Fuego allows you to see the wilderness of Patagonia in all of its splendor. You will not be a spectator, but a part of Patagonia!

This excursion is a mix of traveling along simple paths and navigation in the Beagle Channel in a Zodiac boat (a small yacht). Its duration lasts all day long. It can be taken by persons of all ages but is not recommended for the aged or for families with very young children who must be carried.

After arriving at the National Park via national route 3, you will walk along coastal paths. This trek lasts about 2 ½ hours and goes through the most beautiful parts of the park. The vegetation is abundant and includes conifers (lengas, ñires, coihues), notros (a native shrub), orchids and cinnamon trees.

Upon arriving at a boulder arising from the water called La Roca (the rock) you will board a Zodiac boat with a capacity of 18 persons to sail the Beagle Channel passing the small Isla de Lobos (Sea Wolves Island). Afterwards, you will sail around the Isla Redonda viewing the Imperial Cormorants that make the rock cliffs of the island their home. Then, you will disembark on the island and have lunch in a refuge, while enjoying a spectacular view of the Beagle Channel. The lunch is simple, in general pastas, with drink included.

The island is a nature preserve that has been open to tourism only for a short time. It is a place almost untouched by human hand. There are two trails, each about 20 minutes in duration that you can walk at your own pace. Remember, protecting the environment is the top priority. It is best if our presence is unnoted and we leave nothing but footprints and take only photos.

In the early afternoon we continue sailing until Lapataia Bay (Bahía Lapataia). During this part of the journey you can see marine birds that are the most beautiful in all of southern Patagonia: penguins, petrels, albatross and Antarctic doves.

In Lapataia Bay, the end of the Americas, and also end of the Pan-American Route, you can travel along two short paths: El Mirador (the Lookout) and Las Lengas, which end in the area of the green lake (Laguna Verde) from where you return to Ushuaia by land transport.

So to date this:

Flew out 11/24
excursion on 11/25
Saw racers on 11/26

Oh BOY! We saw the Guido's in Ushuaia on 11/28--so they have a couple of days still possible for Antarctica!

There is something going on in that field--can anyone see it better? I want to know what they are doing!

See the tires to the side of the zodiac? Assuming the photog didn't run all over the province chasing the teams, I think I've found the dock (source (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bachichadas/251953810/)). That still leaves the question: what were the teams doing? I doubt the ice-pack was there (maybe further south), and there's not much to do except visit the small islands (aerial view here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/20297002@N00/82469229/)).

11/24??-25??-'borderline South Pole" in Antarctica ?? ( CBS)
11/26- 28- Ushuaia, Argentina ( Bill & Joe internet cafe booking tickets to South Africa )

Post by: georgiapeach on February 02, 2007, 02:14:55 AM
I had almost the same thoughts--from something I posted in vidcaps:

Quote
I was struck by the dates today--we know they flew out of Miami on Nov 20, arriving in Quito late-ish that evening. And we know that they were at our hacienda on 11/21 (or at least Phil was based on the date on his photo). The teams aren't seen again until we see The Guidos on 11/28. So that's a whole week. Now certainly an extended pitstop could affect the schedule, but I kept thinking 2 days Quito-Hacienda, ? 2days Chile (desert), ? 2+ days Ushaia ( and maybe Antarctica--fingers crossed). So just in case we have a spare day in Ecuador, I wanted to do some further exploration--so that's what I'm working on.

Here is the dock that Slowhatch found.  It's fuzzy but by comparing the adjacent GE hosted picture and the ones that Slowhatch found, and zooming in, and checking the scale so that gives 30 to 60 feet for the dock, and that it located at the end of that highway #3, and some more handwaving...I think it is the one.

The important thing is that I get an orientation out of it.

PS, it is soooo staged.

On this, I have to admit that the Mauritius video had that flavor too.  And some frank discussions with TAR5 racers revealed that retakes do happen.  But it does not matter to me as long as it does not get unfair.  It may be just like the delays they have to face in getting sign offs for face time from people along the way.

USHUAIA

I found a really good map of Ushuaia after examining over 25 different ones. Just expand it after clicking on CITY MAP following clikcing on this link:

 USHUAIA MAP (http://www.welcomeargentina.com/ushuaia/index_i.html)

I also found a list of attractiosn with great photos and descriptions:

Yeah i don't think it's staged to the point where it's unfair...they probably only do retakes when they know it wont affect the outcome.

Timelines always confuse me (more than usual, that is  ??? :dknow  ;D). Chateau's language skills are better than mine, but I read the french blog (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Ushuaia/blog-107240.html) Guido sighting as being on Tuesday afternoon 28 Nov. Now, when Patty makes her sighting entry (http://www.travelpod.com/cgi-bin/guest.pl?tweb_UID=pattyv&tweb_tripID=southern_living&tweb_entryID=1164755340&tweb_PID=tpod&POPUP=YES&tweb_guest_password=&tweb_show_unpure=&tweb_mType=#ENTRY_START)--17:09 27 Nov--she writes that she's already in El Calafate, which means the sighting was 26 Nov or earlier, which leaves a 2-day hole. I don't know.. :reading:

From Slowhatch's link:

Ushuaia, Argentina   
 
Monday, Nov 27, 2006  17:09 
Alter a 7 hour flight with a terrible hangover from Thanksgiving, we arrived in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the World!!!! It really feels like it…the sun rises around 4:30 AM and does not set until 10:30 PM. We went on an excursion that took us through the Beagle Channel where we stopped at several islands to see the sea lions, birds, and some famous lighthouse. The following day Dave and I headed out to the Tierra del Fuego Nacional Park. We did a few small treks and at the southern most point of the park where Route 3 ends, we ran into contestants from the AMAZING RACE!!! (that might be the most exciting thing we saw in Ushuaia) Dave and I tried to run and get in on the action but we were ignored. PS, it is soooo staged. I don't have many pics because I need my battery to last longer

apskip I really think that the blogger might have updated her blog entry on the 11/27, maybe a day or maybe even two after she heard that the Amazing Race was in town?

Here's how I interpreted the dates based on the blog:
11/23=Thanksgiving (drinking)
11/24=7 hour flight to Ushuaia (+hangover)
11/25=excursion through the Beagle Channel (note: sample times for the excursion described):
Quote
Open Hours: during the season, daily outings at 9:30am and 3pm.
Duration: 3 hours.
Approximate Rate: general ticket $ 25.
11/26=("the following day")=encounter with TAR @ Tierra del Fuego National Park (per Chateau the zodiac boat picture was taken between 11:40 AM and 12:12 PM )   
{11/27=blog written/updated} I have PM'd the blogger for confirmation but I think they don't get the message until the next time they open their blog--which could be too late for us...
11/28=Guido sighting

Now as to the gap from 11/26 after the park  to the sighting of the Guido's on 11/28 at 7:15 PM Ushuaia time??

IMO, that is just enough time to get the teams to Punta Arenas for an 11/27 to 11/28 trip to  "borderline South Pole" in Antarctica  (http://www.victory-cruises.com/fly_antarctica.html), (probably King Georges Island).
Antarctica based on Bertram's comment and a healthy dose of hope!

GEORGIA PEACH, for the AMAZING RACE to backtrack from USHUAIA to PUNTA ARENAS makes no geographic sense, although it may have happened. Coming out of the Atacama Desert, the almost exclusive choice is via Santiago. From there you fly to Punta Arenas. To go to USHUAIA  from there would involve a difficult combination of:

1. flight to Buenos Aires
2. transfer between international and domestic airports in Buenos Aires
3. Flight Buenos Aires to Ushuaia

I don't think this makes sense, as 2 and 3 in reverse are the way racers will be getting out of USHUAIA and to MOZAMBIQUE.

From PUNTAS ARENAS, there are 2 choices in addition to local activities:

1. Fly to Antarctica and back.
2. Continue on to Ushuaia via plane (3 flights per week), bus (2 per week) or ferry and U-drive cars(the most reliable given the possibility of weather delays affecting other schedules.

The first question that comes to mind is whether there was sufficient time to get in the Antarctic flight and over to Ushuaiain time. I see a timeline like this:

Nov. 20  Arrive Quito
Nov. 22 Depart Quito
Nov. 23 Arrive Atacama
Nov. 24 Depart Atacama
Nov. 25 Arrive PUNTA ARENAS and leave for KING GEORGE ISLAND
Nov. 26 Depart KING GEORGE ISLAND and PUNTA ARENAS
Nov. 26 Potential Earliest Arrival in Ushuaia

The second question that comes to mind is what might they have done after Tierra del Fuego National National Park. The answer to that is visit Cape Horn, the true Fin del Mondo, southernmost point of South America.

Georgiapeach, I like your timeline.  The teams won't actually step foot on the Antarctic Continent, but if they have a flyover, I guess the TPTB wiill consider that a visit to the seventh continent!

Antarctica is a fascinating place, you all will have to visit some day; it is much more civilized than when I was there.

SLOWHATCH, kudos for another great find on the SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA reference in a blog. The implications of that are several. First, it means that flying into Arica or Iquique would be unlikely. Flying into Antofagasta is not probale, nor are visits to the Tropic of Capricorn marker and the Mano del Desierto. My atlas does not show it, but I have discovered an airport in Calama with limited service that is the logical way to San Pedro de Atacama. The schedules are as follows:

Depart Quito 1805 through Santiago arriving Calama 0845
Depart Quito 2145 through Santiago arriving Calama 0910

Depart Calama 1055 through Santiago arriving Puntas Arenas 1700
Depart Calama 1800 through Santiago arriving Puntas Arenas 0315 next day

Oh no G-Man--my plan requires a "sleepover"!

Apskip--You've put much more time into researching these flights than I have and have done a fabulous job! I'm not sure of course when they'll be there except for the days we know for sure--I was just trying to make it all fit together somehow. But I love your idea of Cape Horn--that would be wonderful!
But one thing--remember that TPTB have options that we don't see. I remember that last season I spent HOURS  :( trying to work out fllight  connections--and then they had a charter flight! So it is always possible that they could arrange a charter flight Ushuaia to Punta Arenas too. But it would make more sense for them to go to Punta Arenas first--I'm just having trouble making it all fit.

Gosh, I'm tired just getting them through 3-4 legs! No wonder the Guido looked pooped! Have we ever seen killer fatigue so early? ???

I did find one possible combo of flights Chile-Ushuaia that gives them more daylight hours for tasks, etc.  and gets them to the park by 11 AM or so...

Dep Antofagasta 4:10 PM--arr Buenos Aires 10:30 PM (assumes 11/25)
Dep Buenos Aires 0530 --arr Ushuaia 0910 (assumes 11/26) OR dep 0620 arr 1000

That assumes of course, that they have transport and could get from San Pedro to Antofagasta by car--although there is one 30 minute flight Calama-Antofagasta at 11:45 AM on the 25th.

directions:

Quote
Antofagasta-Calama: via land by public or private transportation. Take Route 5 North, then take Route 25, around Carmen Alto, until you arrive in Calama. From Calama head southeast on Route 23, approximately 57 km (35.6 mi) later you will find the turn off to Valle de la Luna
More Valley of the Moon photos--apparently dune climbing is big! (where are the camels when you need one? :lol:}

I like the geysers myself...

Bouncing back to Ushuaia. This is the site (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Ushuaia/blog-107240.html) that Ushuaia posted his sighting of the Guidos. And the site  (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Ushuaia/latest.html) overall has some really nice pictures and info about the islands, Beagle etc...

eta: see if this helps
The Amazing Race at the end of the world!
 South America " Argentina " Ushuaia
Hello! (Accents absent on this keyboard...)

Something of rather particular occurred here there is Ca 2 days. To start, will know that I am always has Ushuaia, city more in the south of Argentina and the world. The temperarure is not particularly pleasant here. It is very gray, rainy and cold. Ca thus resembles much has November has the house.

Ushuaia does not abound in attractions really exciting. On the other hand, it east locates has proximity of the National park Tierra del Fuego. But like one made not badly national parks in the dernieres weeks, one abstained from for that.

Tuesday morning one is to go to visit Museo Fin del Mundo (Musee of the End of the World). Not Ca does not relate on the apocalypse but well to the geographic position of Ushuaia. In addition, the name Ground of Fire comes owing to the fact that when Spanish is arrive here, there A was small feus light everywhere on the dimensions. They is that the former inhabitants lived very naked and that they needed fire for rechauffer, then they lit some everywhere.

In afternoon, one embarked on the Baracuda boat to go on a small cruise
Ushuaia
Centre town of Ushuaia, the end of the world!on the Beagel Channel (the channel borrowed by Charles Darwin has the time). One chose the boat the least expensive and Ca appeared dimensioned Catamarans ultramodern. Cruising lasted approximately 3 hours. One went to walk goshawks of islands inhabited by sea lions and cormorants. One was much closer than á Peninsula Valdez, but not as much as in Galapagos.

While returning from cruising I was to go to engrave my photographs because my memory board is full. After having made all coffees Internet of the city, one finds of them finally one with a free engraver. At a certain given time, I see a guy with a large camera of TV and a taker of sound which rentrents, but I do not pay really more attention that Ca. On the other hand, I am turned over and I look towards the counter and the 2 guy who are there are curiously familiar. Finally I replace them: Bill and Joe (TEAM Guido) of The Amazing Race 1... which are followed by a camera and a pole of sound. It is The Amazing Race filming!!!

 
Sight of the city from our tub Baracudais an American television game or 11 equipes of two make the turn of the world and must resoudrent indices and to carry out tests. With the fn of each stage, the derniere team which arrives is eliminated. With the end, the team which crosses the wire of arrived the premiere gains 1 000 000$. Finally it is a kind of large rally goshawks of the world. Each team is followed by a team of turning. I am particularly fan of this emission (I of every season on DVD). It is besides by looking at the season 5 which I had the idea to go to Argentina.

 was thus particuliérement excited to see unloading a team of Amazing Race in full turning has 2 meters of me, especially that I that was needed a dröle had always said myself chance to fall at the same time and sutout at the same place in the world in same time. I said hello has Bill which did not have the really content air that somebody recognizes them. I asked to the cameraman if it were The Amazing Race All Star, but it looked me without anything to say. It did not etait content because I took photographs. The fact is that by putting the photographs on Internet, I

Of still a little further...can gácher the secrecy on which teams form parts of the season, which were their row in the race, which places they visited, etc. It is what is called on an Internet a Spoiler. Ca can also influence the sites of gambling one line which make it possible to bet on which team will gain the race. Therefore, the technical team was not glad to see me leaving my camera! Wholesale TEAM Guido had returned to make calls á airline companies and seemed to want to go to South Africa While leaving Bill gave me small a bine friendly on the shoulder and I wished them good luck. That emotions! On the other hand I do not think that I will pass has the TV. I avas not air to be in the fields of the camera, and the scéne was not paticuliérement exciting either.

Aprés to have soupé one walked a little in the city to see whether one could not see others equipes and certain places of turning, but without succés.

This really just stuck out to me and could be a spoiler.

On Rob and Amber's show on FOX Realtiy Amber says how ever since Amazing Race, Rob and her have had the worst luck flying.

Mind you Rob is the producer on the show and chances are they didnt have time to do all the editing and stuff until Rob came back from the race, and i could see ob putting that in, hinting to their elimination on the race.

I think Rob and Amber will get eliminated through a flying mishap.  My guess its from South America to Mozumbique, [I think flying to South Africa is only to get to Mozumbique, i dont think they do anything there] and their is always that small chance they could be the 5th team in Malaysia almost 8hours beind because of a bad flight.

We already know their flight from Miami to Ecuador was delayed almost an hour.

There are Mozambique blogs & pictures there too but I'm too tired to look through them all  peach  :lol:

I've looked at most--and now I want to gp eat giant prawns and swim with the whales! reminds me of my African adventures...

Here is a nice "intro" to Mozambique history--long but good...

And a little map---and the flag!

Anyway…for those that don’t know Mozambique is situated on the South Eastern coast of Africa, with the beautiful Indian Ocean on the East, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Zambia are to the North. Mozambique used to be a Portuguese colony, and evidence of this is rife throughout the architecture of the country. The Portuguese arrived here in the 15th Century with the landing of Vasco da Gama on the Ilhe de Mozambique. They built trading posts throughout the country which eventually lead to the introduction of the slave trade. The Portuguese literally raped the country of everything it had, sucking the country dry of every conceivable commodity, including it’s people, and eventually wanted to leave, but the European powers at the Berlin conference in 1884/1885, made the Portuguese maintain permanent occupation of their territories. They ran into huge financial problems and as a result started to lease out large areas of land to private companies, which were notoriously bad for slavery and forced labour.
Colonial occupation was never a peaceful process for the Portuguese here. Tribal chiefs were constantly uprising and fighting against them (much like in all of the Portuguese colonies). Eventually on 25th September 1964, armed fighting broke out led by FRELIMO (The Mozambique Liberation Front), a joint force of 3 movements all of which had organized themselves in exile. It worked, on the 25th June 1975 the first President of the Republic of Mozambique was elected.
However, it has never been easy in Mozambique, and once again in 1977 civil war broke out, his time between FRELIMO and RENAMO (National Resistance Party of Mozambique). The war devastated the country. Armies wiped out most of the African wildlife to feed themselves, the fight was bitter and savage, a US state dept offical said in 1988 that RENAMO were perpetuating “one of the most brutal holocausts against ordinary human beings since WW2 . People who I work with here all have stories, one of the gardeners walks with a severe limp because he got bayoneted in the knee whilst he was being interrogated. The war went on for 15 years, and it was only the intervention of the Catholic Church in 1992 that forced a peace agreement. The country is now safe although still recovering. The war left an entire generation of people traumatized and terrorized and all but destroyed it’s social fabric and economy. Of an estimated population of over 16million people, 4.5m had been displaced from their homes, and another 1.5m had fled to neighboring countries. Over 1m people had been killed, at least 1/4m children had been orphaned. On top of the war the people had to deal with severe drought in 1976 and 1990 (one of the worst in Arican history in the 90’s) and floods in ’77. In 1991 the World Bank estimated that no less than 60% of Mozambicans lived in absolute poverty. As usual the Western governments turned a blind eye to what had been happening here, there is no oil in Mozambique!!! It is not surprising that a country with such a savage and vicious history should have a Kalashnikov proudly flying on it’s national flag!
Despite everything the people and the country is amazing. At first they all looked incredibly stern, no one smiling (who would do after what they had all been subjected to) and always staring, but as I have stayed here ad got to know some of them, they are extremely friendly and very cheerful. Even when they are drunk on the local coconut beer (a nasty concoction made with their own saliva and fermented in their mouths, extremely potent stuff!) violence is rare (they have all seen enough violence to last several lifetimes already!), they seem to be happy drunks, although if something does happen they will pick up the nearest thing to them and use as a weapon, whatever it may be, but this is vey rare. They really don’t like having their pictures taken here, and look at it as taking something from them, although I seem to have managed to get around that little problem now!
Maputo is the Capital city. A humid, dirty place, lots of derelict buildings, and huge blocks of what I assume are flats, but strangely attractive. It is here that the central government run the country. Of all the foreign aid that comes into the country 70% remains in the South and the city, as a result the further north you go the poorer it becomes. The humidity was almost unbearable in the city, so I only stayed one day and one night, which was spent wondering around the city. The architecture is also stunning, with a massive Portuguese influence. The central market is relatively small but bustling with activity. Large women with feather dusters constantly brushing the flies off all their fish, huge piles of brightly coloured fruit and veg, small piles of spices carefully laid out in front of the vendor…hours can easily pass here, that is once you become used to the smells. Acacia trees litter the roads in Maputo, and the bright red flowers adding blasts of colour in the middle of the concrete jungle. In the evening I went to the local fish market, this place was amazing. I have never seen so many fish in one place, huge tiger prawns, giant barracuda and massive squid amonst all the other fish. It was also extremely cheap. You buy your fish, then take it to one of the small restaurant shacks at the back, that then cook up everything you have brought, and bring out a huge feast, cooked in garlic and chilli…it was truly amazing and incredibly delicious, a must for anyone going to Maputo! The bus journey from Maputo up to Tofo was certainly an adventure, a short 500km can take anything from 10 hours, depending on how many times you brake down. We broke down twice on my rip. One time we pulled over in the middle of nowhere and out of the bush came these guys with huge gas tanks. Next thiing i know they are under the bus and welding bits and pieces together. When i asked if everything was ok they just smiled and said of course.
Another couple of hours down the very bumpy road i got covered in hot water as the bus overheated and burst it's radiator cap, which happened to be directly behind the driver and infront of me. I didn't think we would ever getmoving again but amazing enough after 30 mins and gallons of water being poured into the engine we managed to get moving again. The local taxis (chappas) are not much good either. My first one from Inhambane to Tofo didn't have any brakes, so i calmly told him that if he wanted to slow down he should head into the soft sand at the side of the road, he just smiled at me and said no problem. I certainly hoped there wasn't as there were an amazing 28 people including myslef all crammed into this tiny minibus, no bigger than a VW combi...excellent!
The women carry everything on their heads, and I mean everything, and work as hard as all them men. They walk everywhere, often having to travel fairly long distanced to get water out of wells which have been dug into the ground (a poço). They live in small huts made out of the millions of
coconut trees. (They interweave all the long leaves together and then attach loads together, they are extremely durable and last a long time, they are also extremely easy to repair!)
The Mozambicans that live around the countryside here in Tofo are all simple people. They live off the land and sea, and it is all very much hand to mouth. Nothing is wasted that can be used! Coconut trees litter the landscape. Parrott you would have a mare here, you can’t move without being under a coconut tree, I have never seen so may before. What is also funny, is that they have all got small steps carved out in the trees, something I have never seen before either, just so they can get to their coconuts easily! Each tree is owned, and if you are caught stealing coconuts you will be in big trouble. It is nice to be here through all the seasons, the fruit has already changed from mangos in the summer to oranges in the winter.
The diving here is world class. There is everything you want to see. Giant 7m mantas circling you, they are truely gracefull creatures, gliding through the water with the utmost  ease, coming within inches of us as their curiousity gains the better of them. Whalesharks are also a common sight, another awesome creature, the largest fish in the sea, and believe me they get gigantic. It is currently low season for them at the moment, so it means we only get to see one or two each trip (this is one of the only places in the world where you can get to see them year round, so i am extremely lucky). Dolphins are often seen playing in the surf from the dive centre, and i have been lucky enough to swim with them many times, having them come up to you and jump over you in the open water is truely an amazing experience. Humpback whales are also starting to migrate past now, and will be here till Sept, i can;t wait to see one of them. We won't let any clients get in the water with them as they can be quite aggressive. The mothers bring their calves here to teach them how to breathe, so we often see them breaching the water in magestic style. You don't seem to get too many sharks around here, on
some of the deper more challenging sights i ahve seen Leopard sharks, Nurse sharks and White Tips. I have also been buzzed by a Zambezi whist spearfishing off one the points here, that was quite a nerve wracking moment. Other than that, the sheer volumes of fish is incredible, you can often get lost in the shoals. Fishing is all done on lines here by the locals, going out in their very dodgy looking boats, so there is no overfishing yet, which i guess is why there are so many. I actually don't think i can describe how good it is out here, so you'll just have to take my word for it, or come out and see for yourself.

Mind you Rob is the producer on the show and chances are they didnt have time to do all the editing and stuff until Rob came back from the race, and i could see ob putting that in, hinting to their elimination on the race.

I think Rob and Amber will get eliminated through a flying mishap.  My guess its from South America to Mozumbique, [I think flying to South Africa is only to get to Mozumbique, i dont think they do anything there] and their is always that small chance they could be the 5th team in Malaysia almost 8hours beind because of a bad flight.

We already know their flight from Miami to Ecuador was delayed almost an hour.

Too much of a coincidence for the delayed couple not to be Uchenna & Joyce . First of all we did not even know 100% at the time of the Malaysia spoiler that U/J were even part of the cast. And yes Rob said that his FOX show was done filming 3 days before his video pre--show-interview for All Stars. I guess he could have done some editing when he got back.

izad:from what I 'heard' - an African American couple who got delayed on their flight. with the fifth team, it's not an eye-witness account like the other four, so I can't confirm if what I heard was true.. so y'all can still speculate.

LiquidSapphire ( Guam  ):
 Edgar and I got separated somehow, but I bumped
into Joyce and Uchenna (the couple from Houston who won about two
seasons ago ) in the departure lobby. Joyce talked about having to
shave all of her hair in that one episode..

Babalu's, sisters sighting:
*These 3 teams may not have gone to Sequesterville (or may have gone to a short-term, different Sequesterville).
*They're probably teams #6 (Guidos), #5 (Uchenna/Joyce), and #4 (Chas) / Danny & Oswald

Romeo: Interesting thing is The Guidos and Teri/Ian lasted longer than Romber

Well that specific quote could easily be in reference to season 7 of the race.  With what they feel (get over it, already) was an airport/airplane manipulation that cost them the race.  Or even going back slighly earlier in that season (leg10 I believe) where they are absolutely confidet that hey have the best available flight and in fact are about 2 hours behind Uchenna & Joyce and Gretchen & Meredith.

Of course it is possible that editing done after filming could put material in their show that reference the All Star Race.  I would be highly doubtful of it.

Here's a stab at putting things in order.

Well,  CHATEAU, an excellent start on getting everything into a timeline for the first 5 legs. I only have a few small details that you might consider correcting:

1. The 945pm flight from Quito will arrive Santiago at 600am. With international customs clearance, 40 minutes is not sufficient to get onto the 640am flight to Calama (CJC). There are 2 ways around this, first to leave on the 605pm flight through Lima to get to Santiago by 225am. That will allow plenty of time to get on the first flight to Calama at 640am. Second, in conjunction with 6am arrival schedule the 705am flight to Calama arriving 910am or 25 minutes after the earlier one.

2. Your comments about the Guidos missing the plane from Ushuaia do not jive with my understanding of schedules. As long as teams leave Ushuaia for Buenos Aires domestic by 936pm, they will be fine in getting to Buenos Aires International and Sao Paulo and onto the first possible transatlantic flight to Johannesburg leaving at 625pm on the second day.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: Chateau d If on February 04, 2007, 10:27:27 PM
Thanks askip.  Can you re-post that 9:36 pm flight data.  I was hunting for it but obviously unsuccessfully.  I'll re-stack the time elements after I get a few more corrections.

Also, I saw the 2:25 am arrival flight but used the other one for no particular good reason except it was so early in the morning.  The time blocks before the flight are adjustable.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on February 05, 2007, 09:47:13 AM
CHATEAU, asked "Can you re-post that 9:36 pm flight data." It is:

2136 USH to ALP (Buenos Aires Domestic) arrives 0056 next day; ground transfer needed to international

0610 EZE(Buenos Aires International) to GRU (Sao Paulo) arrives 0900
Other later flights arrive 0920, 1037, 1140, or 1350

1825 GRU to JNB (Johannesburg) arriving 0715 second day

0840 JNB to MPM (Maputo) arriving 0940


In addition, I have another addition to make your timeline more accurate. There is only one flight on Saturday Nov. 26 from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. Indeed, there are only three in a week. It is LAN 997 leaving PUQ at 1400 arriving USH at 1450.

Well, the "pain to get out of" issue is quite true. I noted it in a previous post(possibly not on RFF) about the options for going from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. The options(including the addded fourth one) are:

1. LAN flight 997 nonstop departs 1400 arrives 1450 but only flies Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday.
2. A bus that takes 11 3/4 hours and leaves at 0730 every Friday and Sunday, crossing the Strait of Magellan on a ferry first.
3. Go over on the ferry and get Drive-yourself cars, which would not be much faster than the bus.
4. Ships that typically take multiple days and have many scenic stops before getting there (but would be about 2 days if they went straight through).

What is clear is that you can't fly commercial on Sunday and they could not have taken the bus on Sunday. Since we have a sighting at the Tierra del Fuego National Park near Ushuaia on Sunday afternoon, they had to get there somehow. Maybe a charter plane flight? Drive-yourself- cars combined with the ferry may still be a possibility.

GEORGIA PEACH, that would all make sense if there wasn't a sighting in Tierra del Fuego National Park near Ushuaia on the afternoon of Nov. 26. That puts a total monkey wrench in any timeline that goes to/from Antarctica. There just isn't time unless a charter flight left from Punta Arenas and dropped everyone off in Ushuaia on the way back.

But could they EVEN do it with a charter flight--is there time for that??

Do we think there is an elim in Ushuaia on the 26th?

afternoon 11/26 (or even very early AM 11/27?)--flight to Punta Arenas--assume charter

11/27--overnight hop to Antarctica

11/28--back to Ushuaia for some reason

If weather allowed--would they have time? Or is that a near impossibility?

Or maybe they went to Punta Arenas and couldn't go out because of the weather, so TPTB will never show that.... :'(

Post by: apskip on February 06, 2007, 01:37:11 PM
GEORGIAPEACH, I think you are forcing your thinking too narrowly into what you want the answer to be. Look at the accumulated evidence and see what conclusions are likely. I think you will decide that pit stop #3 is in PUNTA ARENAS, probably starting the evening of Nov. 25. The teams then go to USHUAIA and not King George Island or Antarctica. I expect them to leave USHUAIA on the 936pm flight out on Nov. 28.

What are the likely transportation options? I have been scouring the Internet and I have found some more that are interesting. There is a second bus company in Puntas Areans which has connecting service to USHUAIA on the 4 days that were not serviced by Pacheco Bus Company. This service leaves at 830am instead of 730am and probably takes at least the 12 hours of the direct bus. Also, in addition to the LAN flights on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday from PUNTA ARENAS to USHUAIA, I have discovered that DAP "In summer, it flies Twin Otters to Ushuaia Monday, Wednesday, and Friday only (US$100). It also has extensive charter services. " That could be the answer on how teams get there relatively fast since as has been clarified for me Nov. 26 was a Sunday when no regular flights are scheduled and the teams must get to USHUAIA to be sighted that afternoon.

What would one see and do in and around PUNTAS ARENAS? The most interesting thing is too far away, the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine 250 miles north. Although Punta Arenas is a mid-sized city at 120,000 inhabitants, it does not have a wealth of top-notch tourist attractions nearby. The best to me is visiting the penguin colony at Magdalena Island 25 km away in the Strait of Magellan. I'll bet that van Munster/Doganieri found something to do in Punta Arenas, maybe an eating challenge.

From a blog:

My annoyance with the Miami airport continued the next morning as I attempted to find American's international check-in line. That proved to be roughly a mile from the ticket counter where the hotel van had dropped me off. Once I actually got in line, things were fairly quick, leaving me plenty of time to discover just how mediocre the selection at the airport bookstore was. (I had plenty of reading matter with me, so this wasn't a real problem. It just deprived me of the pleasures of bookstore browsing.)

Ah, GEORGIAPEACH, you answered your own questions correctly each time. It's hardly necessary for me to point out:

1. That it would take approximately 1.5 days for a boat travelling at 20 mph to get from PUNTA ARENAS to USHUAIA via the most direct routing.

2. That you go down the Strait of Magellan until you diverge into one of several different channels to continue south, then west, then southeast, then east, then north toward USHUAIA. You never cross the Strait to the other side.

I'll make a working guess (for now) that the racers just follow a path which leads them to the dock with the zodiacs (another view here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/64611471@N00/330439489/); you can see the tires lower-left).

We've got a couple of real bookstores in our airport--anybody know about Miami?


From a blog:
Quote
My annoyance with the Miami airport continued the next morning as I attempted to find American's international check-in line. That proved to be roughly a mile from the ticket counter where the hotel van had dropped me off. Once I actually got in line, things were fairly quick, leaving me plenty of time to discover just how mediocre the selection at the airport bookstore was. (I had plenty of reading matter with me, so this wasn't a real problem. It just deprived me of the pleasures of bookstore browsing.)


I have been to Miami International several times. I do not remember seing a bookstore like the one in the picture. Its more magazines and other stuff.

Hope this helps.

 I simple google search reveals that Miami International Airport (http://www.miami-airport.com/html/restaurant_and_shops_maps.html) has a bookstore near Concourse E (http://www.miami-airport.com/assets/images/Concourse_E_Shops_5-02-06.jpg).   :angel:

Not sure which national chain, but maybe if we knew what gate the flight leaves from, we can narrow it down.   ;)

ETA: Update--- There is a Borders bookstore (http://www.bordersstores.com/stores/store_pg.jsp?storeID=25-1945) at Miami International Airport near Concourse F.

Since this shot has D&K running alone and we have another shot at the same location with them right next to Romber I think that this is the location of an Intersection where teams have to pair up and work together.

The zodiac shot has the Chas paired with Eric and Daniel.

THINGS TO DO IN PUNTA ARENAS:So the statue is to Magellan--don't forget to rub his toes!


Quote
CENTER CITY

Around the Plaza de Armas are government buildings; the Club de la Union (Union Club); and mansions with turrets, beautiful roofs, glassed-in sunrooms and well-kept gardens with huge "araucaria" trees (slow-growing native trees revered by the indigenous people of the region).

The plaza itself is full of huge, old trees, and in the center is the Monumento a Hernando de Magallanes (Monument to Ferdinand Magellan). Note that the toes of one of the bronze indians is polished and shiny. Local legend states that everyone who touches these toes will return to Punta Arenas someday, making the statue a favorite with tourists and locals alike.


The panoramic views are taken from the Mount of the Cross:

Quote
MOUNT OF THE CROSS

There is a wonderful panoramic view from the top of this hill of the entire city, with its red, blue and yellow roofs and streets sloping toward the Strait. On the horizon Tierra del Fuego can be seen, as well as Monte Sarmiento (Sarmiento Mount) and the southern part of the Brunswick Peninsula. The wrecks of old sailing ships that have remained where they ran aground also can be seen in the distance.

To see the other side of the city, go to the northern peak of Cerro de la Cruz. Follow Señoret street to Colón avenue, turn left and walk uphill for two blocks on this cobblestoned street dating from colonial times. This peak offers a different view of the area - the city's industrial section, the Barrio Hortícola (Horticulture Neighborhood), the Zona Franca (Duty Free Zone), and a lake used for ice skating to the left. Eight kilometers in the distance are the ski slopes of Cerro Mirador (Lookout Mountain), lines of open clearings slashing through the forested slope of the hill.


About the Cemetery--

Quote
THE CEMETERY
This cemetery is interesting because of the huge mausoleums built years ago by the area's wealthy families. José Menéndez, an important pioneering businessman, has one of the most imposing mausoleums. It is a smaller copy of the Victor Manuel monument in Rome. The cemetery also contains a memorial to the fallen indigenous people of the region.


Some forts--

Quote
FORT BULNES AND PORT FAMINE
Both of these sites are located approximately 60 Kms. south of Punta Arenas. They are interesting primarily for their historical significance. Puerto del Hambre was an early Spanish settlement along the Strait of Magellan, and Fuerte Bulnes established Chilean authority over the region. To reach these sites, travel south on Route 9. The road winds along the edge of the Strait, and along the way can be seen the remains of shipwrecked boats

And my favorite--two places to see penguins--one where you walk among them!

Quote
OTWAY INLET
The penguin colony is located 65 kilometers north of Punta Arenas on Seno Otway (Otway Inlet), along the northwest of the Brunswick Peninsula. The Magellanic Penguins return annually to this spot between October and March to lay eggs and raise their young. At the site, you will walk approximately two kilometers to the middle of a natural reserve filled with penguin burrows to see the comic antics of these delightful and defenseless creatures at close range.


Quote
MAGDALENA ISLAND
This island and its neighboring islet Marta is home to tens of thousands of Magellanic Penguins, cormorants, other birds and sea lions. Both islands make up the Monumento Natural Los Pingüinos (The Penguins Natural Monument), located 25 nautical miles north of Punta Arenas. The estimated population of the penguins on these two islands is more than 50,000 penguin pairs.
The boat trip to Isla Madgdalena offers contrasting views to the west and east of the Strait. On the west coast can be seen the Tres Puentes area, the village of Río Seco and other small settlements along the shore. Industrial centers and oil production centers can be seen in the distance, such as Bahia Laredo and Cabo Negro. Toward the east, the coast of Tierra del Fuego looms flat and long. In front of Isla Magdalena can be seen the deep Bahía Gente Grande (Large People Bay), a name that was given to this bay by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa four centuries ago because of the tall stature of the indigenous Ona tribe.

Depart Punta Arenas in the morning on the local ferry service for a crossing of the Magellan Strait which lasts 2.5 hours before your arrival at the capital of the Tierra del Fuego Province, Porvenir.

The tour of the town includes a visit to the Fernando Cordero Rusque Museum which has an interesting display of animal life in the area and a section on archeology and anthropology. There are also some examples of early Chilean film, the panning and mining of gold and a series of photographic exhibits of the Selknam Indians.

The main square is also picturesque with the Cathedral, built by the Silesian order in the last century. Also visit the Monument to the Selknam Indian, which is made entirely of wood before heading for the airport for a 15 minute flight which will take you back to Punta Arenas.

Why stop at Porvenir? If you are going there, why not take the bus or a U-drive vehicle all the way to USHUAIA(bus) or PARQUE NACIONAL TIERRA DEL FUEGO(car) near USHUAIA where the sightings and zodiac pcitures happened on Sunday afternoon Nov. 26. It would explain how they could get there. Let's imagine that the pit stop after panning for gold is near PORVENIR on the evening of the 25th. That certainly fits with "primitive" as explained by Elise Doganieri on REALITY CHAT Monday night.

GEORGIAPEACH, I am following up on your THINGS TO DO IN PUNTA ARENAS. I previously suggested that Magdalena Island was the only really good thing to do in the vicinity of PUNTA ARENAS. I have discovered another one. The southernmost point of the South American land mass, excluding the islands of Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn and all of the smaller ones, is at Capo Froward just south of PUNTA ARENAS. It is where the Strait of Magellan makes a turn to the northwest before continuing on into the Pacific Ocean about 200 miles further.

Post by: apskip on February 07, 2007, 02:49:08 PM
For my next trick, I'm going to make 5 pictures of Porvenir appear. A local description of Porvenir comes first:

Porvenir belongs to the XII Region of Magellan and Antarctica in Chile. Situated in the big island of Tierra del Fuego in Bahía Porvenir in the Strait of Magellan. It is capital of the province of Tierra del Fuego opposite the city of Punta Arenas, to which it is joined by a ferry boat.
Porvenir is near the Natural Monument Laguna de los Cisnes, and also near lagoons Verde and Deseada. In the centre of Tierra del Fuego is lake Blanco, an excellent fishing spot.
The city is immersed in a 20,000 hectares rural area where they produce sheep wool, ovine and bovine meat, and breeding animals. There is also a stud farm for race horses. These animals are bred without using any chemicals or hormones, in an extensive ecological way.
The steppe covers almost all the island up to the base of Cordillera de Darwin, where bushes and then the thick Magellanic forest appear.
Porvenir is a city of 5500 inhabitants originated in a police station in 1883 when gold exploitation was intense. In 1894 it was founded as a city to provide services to the new livestock estancias on the island.
At present they keep providing commercial and administrative services to livestock activities, which are still important.
The city presents old houses that prove its prosperous past.

Porvenir is looking flat as a pancake to me (although slightly more civilized in your pics!) and also pretty treeless....

So where in the world did they find a hill/slope for Amber to climb--especially a wooded one??  ???

I'm now thinking that the pic of Amber looks much more like either Punta Arenas or Ushuaia, where both towns slope uphill to more wooded, mountainous regions. What do y'all think?

PEACH, I think you're off base. PORVENIR got its start as a gold mining town. Also, the terrain slopes "up to the base of Cordillera de Darwin," which is a high mountain range. There will be plenty of trees and non-flat terrain nearby. I just revved up Google Earth for a look around that part of Tierra del Fuego. It is cloudy directly over Porvenir right now, but I can confirm lots of mountainous terrain nearby.

The sun angle suggests that the place where Amber is trudging is west of the wooded hillside.

Thanks! After all the hard work   ;) getting them to Porvenir, I was really disappointed that it looked so flat in all the pics I could find...

Google Earth still hates me--for some reason I'm always in West Africa--if anybody has any idea what is wrong with that, I'd really appreciate some help!

 :happy: Yippee apskip!! I knew you could do it  :yess:

peach, Porvenir was just a far fetched guess and like you noted its pretty flat so yeah if Amber is panning/sifting? for something whatever that thing is we still have a lot of options ..maybe Slowhatch could get the date properties off the pictures? Can someone test this link  (http://www.cbspressexpress.com/media/assets/releases/documents/AMAZING%20RACE%20ALL-STARS%20CAST%20ANN%5b1%5d.DOC) ?

Also while I'm here while i'm thinking about it ...what we really need is mwooden to update the timeline  :keeta:

Oh I think us rff detectives have done a pretty good job from time to time predicting what order the teams come into the pitstop..I especially recall Chateau d if making predictions based solely on shadows and lighting that were right on :jam: BUT we need more promo's and pictures and the first episode is always the hardest. Personally I'm hoping Romber come in first in the first leg just so I can have some comfort knowing that they won something  :lol:

anyway..
Jonathans final 4 (http://www.jonathanbakerandvictoriafuller.com/RealityMinute-AllStarsPreview.mp3) ..Dustin & Kandice ( his fav team he hopes they win ) Eric & Danielle and Rob & Amber with Charla/Mirna coming in fourth.

wait!  :lol:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: Chateau d If on February 07, 2007, 08:37:21 PM
I think it's waders.  I don't see any place where chaps transition to shoes/boots.  It looks like it's all connected.

Her hands look raw too.  But I may be reading too much into it.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on February 07, 2007, 08:43:36 PM
Now I'm thinking waders...she's wearing white sneakers in the cast photo and in this her feet look black too...

Snakes...eewwwww.

And apskip said that the land becomes mountainous on Porvenir--just wonder how far away from the ferry? I finally got a look with GE and I do see trees but sadly, my snagging skills aren't highly developed  enough for me to share so will have to hope either Slowhatch or Chateau will post the area!

The only location in Tierra del Fuego to have any sustained exploitation of gold reserves was around Porvenir, on the west coast of the island opposite Punta Arenas
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on February 07, 2007, 11:00:47 PM
okay--look back at the picture of Amber. If we are thinking panning for gold--let's think mines.

Instead of a roof gallery, could the white thing running horizontally right behind her hips be some sort of an (not quite sure of the word--maybe sluice?)  elevated thing that carries water down from the mine? It looks elevated on metal poles to me, with a muddy area below.

Maybe somebody who understands handisnap could point out what I mean. (I downloaded my free trial but it has a nasty stamp right where I want to draw...)

I've had a nice time visiting fly fishing lodges in Porvenir (no matches)--not the town, the area.  Many miles away the land does become mountainous.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: Chateau d If on February 07, 2007, 11:30:03 PM
Peach!

On the handysnap, what I do is just make the box bigger than I need and then crop that side off.

I should just buy it.  But I'm too cheap and lazy to go through that.   :res:

So I just have to crop my shots.

GEORGIAPEACH, I hate to tell you this, but my guess at THAT WHITE THING in the screenshot behind AMBER is a low white building in front of a yellow building. Look for the windows that make it improbable that it is a sluice as you suspected.

Post by: apskip on February 08, 2007, 07:20:15 AM
RED_SOX SAM, let me add my welcome to you. I am visiting Cairns, Port Douglas, the Great Barrier Reef and Townsville in April, my first trip to Australia. I don't think you should give up on AR11 having visited Australia on Episode 11 just yet. I believe that it is possible that it went from Hong Kong to Cairns.  Cairns has the advantage of twice per week nonstop flights to GUAM, where we know that Episode 12 took place. There are many other places between HONG KONG and GUAM that could have been chosen, so we will have to wait for further indications that give us enough to figure out where they did go. I do have to say that the low probability that Antarctica was visited reduces the probability that Australia was visited for the 7 continent septfecta.

My research on past Amazing Races indicates that the following are the visits(sometimes airport only when action was outside the metro area) to major Australian cities:

AR2 - Sydney and Adelaide

AR4 - Brisbane and Cairns

AR9 - Perth and Darwin

By subtraction, the only very large Australian cities not visited so far are Melbourne and Canberra.

MAPUTO MOZAMBIQUE

Points of interest include:
The Railway Station on Praca dos Trabalhadores was designed by Gustave Eiffel (after his fall from grace in the Panama canal scandal), and bears the mark of his genius.
The National Art Museum has a small but good collection of Mozambican art, including several large canvases by the world-renowned Malangatana.
The Jardim Tunduru is a very pretty (albeit small) botanical garden.
The Museum of the Revolution chronicles Mozambique's fight for indepedence from Portuguese colonialism.
The Mercado Central in the Baixa district has fresh fish, crabs, calamari, fruits and vegetables, and many household staples. Safe, lively and recommended, especially if cooking for yourself.
Walk up Avenida Julius Nyerere. Start from the Hotel Cardoso or Natural History Museum along R Mutemba to Nyerere then left (north) to the Polana Hotel. Boutiques, restaurants, curio vendors, video stores, etc. to be seen in the relatively upscale Polana neighborhood.
Visit some beautiful beaches, such as Catembe and Ponta d'Ouro. It is very jovial in these atmospheres and it is not dangerous in the least bit.

Items commonly bought in Maputo include:
African fabrics both waxprint and woven in the fabric shops along the Avenida de Guerra Popular
Cashews all over the place, roasted, salted, plain, any which way and nearly anywhere. The number two export of the country, selling for about USD 3.20 per pound (Mts. 140,000 per kg).
Wood carvings, boxes, picture frames from curio vendors.
Batik cloth ranging from the tacky animal stuff to glorious works of art. Most of what is on offer is on the lower quality end, but persistent searching will yield some gems among the dross.

Maputo is a city of about 1.2 million inhabitants. Maputo is a melting point of several cultures, with a strong South African influence. The Bantu and Portuguese cultures dominate, but the influence of Arab, East Indian, and Chinese cultures is also felt. The cuisine is very elaborate, due especially to the Portuguese and Muslim heritage. Seafood is also very abundant.

The two most interesting things to do near Maputo are both south along the coast. First is the Maputo Elephant Reserve, which is part of a 5 park system stretching into Swaziland and South Africa. Second is diving expeditions from Ponta Mamoli. Here are pictures and some text:

A regular ferry service takes visitors from Maputo’s fishing harbour to Inhaca Island to see the fascinating maritime museum, historic lighthouse and to have lunch or overnight at the hotel. Other visitors head south into the swamplands of the 236,000-hectare Maputo Elephant Reserve where rolling green hills meet the sea. Crocs, hippos, side-striped jackals, antelope and up to 200 elephants are found here. The area is currently being restored and there are plans to introduce more animals, and open lodges in the future. Visitors fly in directly to the airport. Some visitors to Port Mamoli for diving expeditions arrive in Durban South Africa and cross the border, where Ponta Mamoli is the first town in Mozambique. Others can get to Ponta Mamoli from Maputo by skirting the western edge of Maputo Elephant Reserve.

Hi! First-time poster here~
I'm from Hong Kong and I started reading this board since last season, I really admired all the posters here because all of you are so great! Like last season, I was shocked to find out that you guys could locate the finish mat just from watching that promo! :o

It was good to know that HK is included in TAR11, though I was sad that I couldn't see any racers at that time.  :groan:

In fact, I post here because I find one interesting information from the web. I just read a HK discussion board (http://www10.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=2478004&extra=page%3D4&page=6) [post #81, in Cantonese] and that poster mentioned that he saw some production people in Shau Kei Wan at 2 Nov, I know for certain that's not the date they filmed the episode, but maybe they were doing pre-start work there? Because that poster mentioned that he saw people with backpack in a team of 2, and they were asking people for directions. If so it would be more probable that HK was visited and the sighting in Shau Kei Wan was true!!  :yess:

Georgiapeach - the Bridge Climb is INCREDIBLE!!  My only thing that I would change.....is our scheduled time - I set it up for 10:00am on New Year's Day and didn't think about having too much fun on New Year's Eve (we were on a party boat with an open bar circling the harbour during the night) - they do a breath test on everybody even the cashiers who work there and if you don't pass.....you don't climb!  Wish my pictures from the climb were digital.....or else I would post.    :happy:

More gold mining in Porvenir:
Quote
Porvenir, with more than 5,000, inhabitants is the Chilean capital of Tierra del Fuego. As part of a police detachment during the gold fever, Porvenir was born in 1883 and was founded as city in 1894. Just as gold, Porvenir shines. And precisely, one of the most interesting tours in the city is the gold circuit. 115 km. throughout the Baquedano chain where, in addition to astonishing views of the Strait of Magellan, it's interesting to visit the areas where the small-scale miners (pirquineros) continue extracting gold just like they did it 100 years ago. On foot or horseback, this tour is one of the unavoidable journeys throughout the city

And:
DAY 2

Quote
We will go to Baquedano cord in the morning to follow the Gold route. It is an 80 kilometre trip, in which we can see the way in which the gold is extracted, almost in the same way as the first gold searchers who arrived around 1881. Also we will be able to see the peculiar refuges built with sod which were used as shelter by the miners. Then we will marvel at the splendour sight of the Straits of Magellan and also its environs.

We still have a big gap between Maputo and Kuala Lumpur.  Some 10 days unaccounted for except for a possible stop in Poland. Any new ideas?

GMAN, my mind has been exactly where yours is. I have laid out a rough timeline between Maputo and Hong Kong to see how many undiscovered pitstops there are likely to be. Later, I will hypothesize on where they might be.

Nov. 28 depart from USHUAIA

Dec. 1 arrival in MAPUTO
 
2 pit stop in MAPUTO

3 depart MAPUTO; arrive ?

4 pit stop late in the day in ?

5 REST DAY in middle of race near ?

6  depart ? to fly to WARSAW

7 arrive in WARSAW; pit stop late in the day

8 depart WARSAW for long flight with about 8 time zone differential

9 arrive KUALA LUMPUR

10 KUALA LUMPUR pit stop

11 leave KUALA LUMPUR; arrive HONG KONG

12 HONG KONG pit stop

13 leave HONG KONG; arrive ?

14 pit stop at ?; depart for GUAM

15 arrive GUAM; Anderson Air Force Base pit stop

16 depart GUAM for TOKYO-NARITA and change to HONOLULU, crossing date line so it's still the 16th; change planes probably to somewhere on the West Coast or Hawaiian islands

17 FINALE

My conclusion is that there are two undiscovered pit stops, one between MAPUTO and WARSAW and another between HONG KONG and GUAM plus a REST DAY at about the halfway point on Dec. 5 at ?(unknown pit stop between MAPUTO and WARSAW).

Are our Hong Kong dates firm?  You would know best on that... ;)

Because if not, we could always have another Indonesian pitstop (Bali, anyone?) --or even Singapore again. There are certainly lots of flights Singapore to Hong Kong as well. That doesn't jive with the whole "primitive locations" thing we have going on though, but then, neither does Hong Kong.

I'd much rather see another Africa stop, or Greek Islands, or Turkey...

The answer is YES. The HONG KONG sightings on 12/12 come from my original post on TWOP on 12/12 and there is no room for the Race to be elsewhere. They pretty much have to go directly from KUALA LUMPUR to HONG KONG. The KL info is from IZAD at Sucks:
"teams arrive in Malaysia from Poland.

5 teams passed through Malaysia..... 4 were seen and documented

Edited by: izad at: 12/10/06 11:39 pm," 4 minutes after his original post.

My own recollection is the source of the 12/16 departure date from GUAM. I know there is a Northwest customer service person's account of his boss's bookings of the F3 teams on Northwest to Nagoya and Honolulu posted on some FORUM and I recall it being for that date but haven't found it yet.

MY PICK OF 10 DESTINATIONS FOR PIT STOP BETWEEN MAPUTO AND WARSAW

Kisangi, Zaire on the Congo River

Dar es Salaam

Nairobi

Zanzibar

Mecca

Cyprus

Crete

Ankara

Odessa

Prague


MY PICK OF 10 DESTINATIONS FOR PIT STOP BETWEEN HONG KONG AND GUAM

Cebu, Philippines

Taiwan

Okinawa

Hiroshima

Nagasaki

Hainan Island

Kuching, Sarawak

Brunei

Darwin

Cairns

These are my best guesses at where van Munster/Doganieri should have picked. If they did not have an extended rest stop, then they probably had to pick one from the first group and one from the second group. What do you think?

As Jackie Gleason used to say "And Away We Go". Here are some fascinating pictures of Kuala Lumpur: the Petronas Towers (including the pool where the clue had to be retrieved from in AR4 by the Final 5 just before the elimination of John Vito and Jill), the Batu Caves (where an AR11 clue box definitely happened and probably a task also according to IZAD), and a beautiful Visit Malaysia 2007 flag with a ferris wheel and Petronas Towers in the background.

I just caught the latest (1119am) posting from IZAD on Sucks that clarifies what he meant earlier:

 I meant Batu Caves is quite a big area, and I didn't see Charla wearing the wheelies when she was heading towards/away from the stairs (although the clue might've already hinted that they were going to have to climb the stairs - so she simply didn't bother)

Hi everyone great job  :jumpy: After looking at this picture she has leather chaps on which is what they wear when they are horse back riding It looks like she has the ones with the boots because they cross a lot of streams and rivers .Looking on the internet there are lots of  horseback riding trips offered in Chile were they also camp outside at night. She looks like she is carring a stool maybe to help get on to a horse ??? ???well just my two cents.

(Responding to Chateau's timeline suggestion that we will see the last of Romber) (just posted in Episode 1 thread)...

Sure is nice to see some activity today--I thought y'all had all disappeared! :waves:

LOVE this timeline timetable--it really helps me clarify who is where when...

My question is...(and I think I am looking at it this way because in my mind Punta, Antarctica, and Ushuaia were always linked):

Could there be any way that maybe Punta Arenas and Ushuaia are "one"  leg? Maybe a TBC, or even a NEL?

In which case then Romber would go on to Maputo, and it would be David/Mary who are OUT at "the end of the world". I haven't counted forward to see if this would work because it is hard to do when we still aren't quite sure of exactly how many legs we are missing. :-\

What do y'all think?

Post by: apskip on February 11, 2007, 06:51:04 AM
GEORGIAPEACH, I think it's possible but unlikely. The reason is that another pit stop would be needed and there isn't time in the overall schedule to fit one in.

No one can be 100% certain about that red_sox but, it sure could be an intersection? And if it is an intersection there is most likely a roadblock after it seperating Romber from the BQ's so anything can happen like Season 10. Although T/J & R/K went for the FF they did not arrive at the pitstop first. The BQ's & Cho's roared through the mattress detour while M/D and the Bama's struggled . Dustin made quick time with the stamps/ roadblock then the BQ's won that leg. I think the Cho's came in 4th that leg?

Actually this makes sense.  I can see these two teams working together.

Charla & Mirna in season 5 tried several times to work with others and showed they could be trusted, but only if they felt the other team would stay right beside them.

David & Mary really fit that discription for how they work with others.

The dragons are from TAR10 EP3 Hanoi Vietnam..and I'm pretty sure Drews is old too..but its been so long I can't say 100%.

Hi, I'm from Hong Kong and this is my first post. I think the dragons are from Hong Kong instead of Vietnam. The place is the harbour front of the Cultural Centre. I have searched some information about this picture. It is the opening ceremony about the fire safety campagine 2006 - 2007 which is held on 10 Dec. You can see the arch in the picture has some chinese words. It is "家居防火靠你我" which means the "preventing fire at home depends on you and me". And there are buildings behind. The tallest one in the picture looks like the Central Plaza.

I was shocked when I saw that scene.

We know our guys were in Malaysia on 12/10 but strongly suspect that they were in HK on 12/12. Would there be any way to find out whether or not there could have also been dragons at that opening on 12/12 also?

And would you like to speculate on what, at that opening, the teams might have had to do as a task?

I'm so excited ! We are VERY glad you are joining us--a great big welcome!

The Hong Kong Cultural Centre (Chinese: 香港文化中心) is a multipurpose performance facility in Tsim Sha Tsui of Hong Kong. Located at Salisbury Road, it was founded by the former Urban Council and, after 2000, is administered by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong Government. It is a place for a wide variety of cultural performances.

The centre is located on the southwestern tip of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the former location of the Kowloon Station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Adjacent to the centre on the west is the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier of the Star Ferry, while to the east are the Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art. The historic Clock Tower stands between the centre and the pier.

 Frommer's Review
Sandwiched in between the Space Museum and the Star Ferry concourse, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre is the territory's largest arena for the arts. Opened in 1989, this complex is a good bet for free music and events, including family shows on Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30pm that may include Chinese dance, a magic show, or music. Thursday Happy Hour, from 6 to 7pm, features Chinese classical music, Western music, puppetry, and other performances by local performance groups. Pick up a monthly leaflet of events at the Centre or call tel. 852/2734 32820 for program enquiries.

Otherwise, the pride of the Cultural Centre is its 2,100-seat Concert Hall, home of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. It features a 93-stop, 8,000-pipe Austrian Rieger organ -- one of the world's largest. Two levels of seating surround the stage, which is set near the center of the oval hall. There are also two theaters, the Grand Theatre, used for musicals, large-scale drama, dance, film shows, and Chinese opera, and the smaller Studio Theatre, designed for experimental theater and dance

The thing shown on the scene is actually the lion. You can recall the lion detour at Kong Kong in TAR2

Hmmm...used to be the tallest building?? Obligatory rappel site?

Yes, Central Plaza is no longer the tallest building

Here is the link for photo for the event

AR10 racers would have reached Hong Kong the afternoon or evening of Dec. 11 according to my timeline. However, nothing prevented Amazing Race production from knowing about significant cultutral events just before and having a camera crew on hand to film them. I'm sure there is an advance team arriving near every pit stop one to two days prior to check all arrangements for the tasks and setup of everythign that happens.

Haven't they been notoriously inaccurate with the mileage before?

The short answer is yes. Who knows how CBS calculates their miles. What HAS been accurate in the past is the continent info, which is why I just can't see Antarctica/Australia getting into the mix. Anywho, here's an updated route spec (confirmed stuff in red, unconfirmed in pink). This thread is boggling my brain, so maybe you guys have better date info...

There still is that big gappo between  Maputo   and KL with only a possible stop in Poland.  So there are still 10 days unaccounted for. That's four legs without confirmed destinations, or five legs is Warsaw is only a bypass spot on the way to KL.

Any ideas?

A wild guess might be stops in Israel, Serbia/Bosnia, Romania,Czech Republic, and then Poland.  All new to TAR

MWOODEN, I have a few comments on your timeline, as you might expect since it differs in a few critical aspects from mine(copied from post #1515 and updated slightly):

Nov. 28 depart from USHUAIA

Dec. 1 arrival in MAPUTO
 
2 pit stop in MAPUTO

3 depart MAPUTO; arrive ?

4 pit stop late in the day in ?

5 REST DAY in middle of race near ?

6  depart ? to fly to WARSAW

7 arrive in WARSAW; pit stop late in the day

8 depart WARSAW for long flight with about 8 time zone differential

9 arrive KUALA LUMPUR

10 KUALA LUMPUR pit stop

11 leave KUALA LUMPUR; arrive HONG KONG

12 HONG KONG pit stop

13 leave HONG KONG; arrive ?

14 pit stop at ?; depart for GUAM

15 arrive GUAM; Anderson Air Force Base pit stop

16 depart GUAM for TOKYO-NARITA and change to HONOLULU, crossing date line so it's still the 16th; change planes probably to somewhere on the West Coast or Hawaiian islands

17 FINALE

My conclusion is that there are two undiscovered pit stops, one between MAPUTO and WARSAW and another between HONG KONG and GUAM and a rest day added to the 12 hour pit stop in ?(unknown location between MAPUTO and WARSAW).

I have the racers leaving USHUAIA on Nov. 28. Since it takes from 936pm on the 28th until 940am on Dec. 1 just to fly to MAPUTO, no pit stop there is likely until Dec. 2. Given the known information, I think you have the racers arriving in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong about one day too late for the known information. Also, the verification on the Final 3 from Guam to Honolulu has nothing to do with the eliminated racers going to Honolulu direct from Guam. The Final 3 went on Northwest via Tokyo-Narita to Honolulu as verified by Northwest ticket agents on Guam.

GMAN, I agree with PUDDIN. USA TODAY was uninformed back when they issued their article. There is a probability that it was Dec. 17(due to crossing the International Date Line) when teams hit Honolulu and not more than one day later to the finish line.

Look at all these flights HNL to SFO that put teams in position to get to the finishline between 10:00 and 12:30.

That gives them time to do a task or two before reaching the final mat, which if I recall correctly is the usual practice on the final day and final leg.

OMG! I was just coming online to congratulate Chateau and Slowhatch on a job VERY well done in Punta--but THIS?!

I'm going to be sick--I was there on the 21st....could have seen the teams in the airport--missed by 4 doggone days :'(

The arboreteum is beautiful but it is also pretty huge. Depending on where you enter, just getting to one specific area inside there could require some serious running around. And since we know the teams were so close together, maybe Charla/Mirna really do lose in a footrace at the end.

Quick shots of the Meadow, and the Greenhouse. It really has an international flavor with plants from all over the world--so maybe a great choice for the finale. There is a Japanese Tea Garden too....The fountain might be good for the mat...

From the scenes we have so far, it does look like the teams have learned to minimize their backpacks.  Of course, I haven't seen the coal miner with his pack yet,  so it will be interesting to see if he has learned anything.  JVJ are team no. 3.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on February 13, 2007, 11:19:50 AM
Here are a few points for a Dec. 17 finish:

1. There are no flights leaving from midnight to 8am from Hawaii. this means that the flight a competitive F3 team is on should be landing before 7am at SFO.

2. There will have to be at least one task in between SFO and the Arboretum, since it cannot be more than 60 minutes on a Sunday morning assuming no luggage other than carry-on directly from one ot the other. They can't be arriving before 8am if the place isn't ready for them until 10am.

3. The recent history of the Amazing Race finishes calls for very short runs to the finish line from the entrance. Great Meadow is perfect from that perspective.

For those going to TARFlies to check out the original posting of the article about the park closing controversy caused by the AR11 finish on Dec. 17, 2006 in the Golden Gate Park Arboretum, be forewarned that you will not get a screen that looks like page 20 is there under AR 11 SPOILERS. It appears to stop at page 18 and have a last posting date of a few days ago. Just click on the heading and you will get the updated information that goes up to page 20 and is dated last posting Feb. 13.

Hi
I recently registered and hope to get in on the discussions, esp. since the race starts this weekend. My first question, I guess, is is there a thread that has spoilers for the tentative order of finish for the All-Stars??  I'm not a big Romber fan since I watched them on Survivor, then the All stars, then the Amazing Race and now the AllStars again, it's time for them to kinda go away.  But anyhow, I am one of those who sort of likes to know before hand who will leave and who will be around at the end.  thanks and hope to get into more meaningful discussions soon.

Actually I have no problem with them losing do to a footrace.

It is a Race.  A big part of this is how fast you can move from point A to point B.

Now sometimes thats on a flight, some times the luck of a cab, sometimes its how well you navigate (or get others to navigate for you), but its also often a foot race.

ANd frankly it should be.

They already get an airport advantage in almost every airport (being able to in most cases get early boarding and first off the plane with her disability.  In some airports they also have the ability to use that to get escorted to and through Customs.  In some cases that could be a 15 minute break or it could be a lead of hours, depending on the airrport.

They have never (supposedly) geared the race to someone with any disability (and in fact in some cases in season 5 Charla had no choice in the roadblocks the other option wasn't a possability for her size).  Just like they didn't make the race easier for Sarah, or make it easier for any of the older or out of shape racers.

Its a race, its supposed to physically and mentally and emotionally challenege the racers/

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and absolutely love the work you've been doing.  :hearts:

I come from Sydney Australia and think TAR is the best show. Ever. Period.

Watched all seasons God knows how many times and am really looking forward to All Stars.

Ok, got a bit carried away there.

So anyway, hello everybody  ;)

P.S red_sox, I find it faster to use Bittorrent and download the whole episode from mininova so I'm less than a day behind all you lucky people who get to watch it first hand.  (:;) *sigh*

P.P.S The final 3 placings (E/D 1st, D/K 2nd, C/M 3rd) - are they confirmed spoilers or just rumoured ones?

The flight (http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/apps/travel/flightstatus/results.aspx?SID=CC4CA39F63D14D938713EB9CD9B1BD00&FLN=904&FLD=12/15/2006), fwiw.  :plane:
awesome Slowhatch! thank you !

I want to clean up a minor error that was in SLOWHATCH's posting #691. It shows the flights from Guam to Honolulu going from Guam to Nagoya to Honolulu. I was reminded by the recent reissuing by GEORGIAPEACH of the blog by the Northwest customer service agent on Guam (Kenny) that the actual route was through Tokyo-Narita airport and not through Nagoya. This makes the flights:

NW 73 or NW 81 departing GUM 1545 or 1615 on Saturday Dec. 16 to NRT arriving at 1835 to 1900, changing planes to NW10 nonstop to HNL arriving at 0730 same day after crossing the International Date Line

This is not a big difference but just a point of detail.

As I understand it, and correct me if I am wrong, TPTB hold the teams in Customs/Immigration until all of the teams have cleared.  This helps to even things out since it all depends on the agent,  the line, etc. some taking a lot longer than the others.  When teams arrive on the same plane, you will note that they all seem to be running out of the airport together (or close together)

Well yes and No.

We have confirmed proff that in there final return to US customs, that everyone is held and released in a group (as long as you arrived on the same flight.

If for example you had two flight arrive at whatever is the fianl customs area at noon and one at 12:30.   Those on the noon flight would be held until all are finished with customs, and those on the 12:30 flight will be held as a group.

We also have proff that it can also happen on the first leg (season 7 for example, where they talk about it on the DVD commentary).

But we also have proff from several seasons most notable 3 and 10 that during the rest of the race this isn't always the case.

I think

So we don't know for sure how often they hold tehm during the race, but we do kno that they don't always hold them.

OMGOMGOMG. 3 DAYS!

Well by Australian date it's 3 days.

Which means...OMGOMG 4 DAYS till I watch it!  :wohoo:

Hmmm...they closed the final pitstop for 2 and a half hours.

I'm guessing a finish just like the one in season 10 (2 teams battle it out and one team is left behind by a close flight) but really hope it's a 3 way dash to the finish line (season 3).

I have a good vibe/feeling about Eric and Danielle winning. 100 bucks says they'll get the Kris and John edit :js:

Also looks like Charla and Mirna DOMINATE some parts of the race (ahead for 2 hours or more) so look out for 2+ first place finishes if the bunchings remain minimal - however they will eventually come third (I THINK).

Dustin and Kandice not sure about, but whatever, I like all these 3 teams in the final 3 (unless I'm wrong about Eric and Danielle and he beats her like Jonathan :jam:)

Stay safe, Dan.

phil is chatting at washingtonpost.com right now here is a juicy nugget

The time I stay for the pit stops or for the check-ins depends on the arrival times for all the teams. Sometimes it has been as little as minutes and other times it can be as much as 17 hours. That happened this season and the first teams to arrive left on the next leg before I had checked in the remaining team. That creates a problem for our schedule and makes our life frantic.

I know i might be the only one, to say its not Uchenna and Joyce, but i think its Romber.  The "African American Couple" was heard so i dont think they would be 17 hours behind and still be seen, that would mean it would be late at night right and who would be at those caves way way at night, right, what it would have to be like 3am?   Also i think a flight to KL would be easier to get than Mozumbique, right.   Romber has already hinted to Amazing Race, so think they loose from a bad flight, to Mozumbique, where it would take them a long time to get a new flight, right?  Also why would they let the teams head off to Hong Kong with a 5 hour head start, meanwhile if teams stay in a near African County they race would supply charter flights still being able to controll the teams, while waiting for Romber to come in, 5 hours later.

ASAMBER1, nice theory but Rob/Amber don't make it out of South America. Also I have some new information from IZAD posting at SUCKS:

"I don't know about being 17 hours behind, but I'm very certain Ucheynna/Joyce were at least 12 hours behind, on their flights alone. More hours are possibly added if the challenges involved can only be performed during certain times of the day. Edited by: izad at: 2/16/07 8:43 pm "

It's not certain that the 17 hour lag belongs to Uchenna/Joyce, but it's highly likely from my viewpoint.

I would like to inject a new line of thinking about what happens between Hong Kong and Guam. I have believed that there would be a normal pit stop somewhere and provided a list of 10 locations I consider lthe most likely for that. However, the new information about Macau and particularly the close proximity of Macau to Hong Kong has radically altered my thinking.

We know because Phil said it at the starting line that there are 8 elimination points. We expect that there will be 13 one hour episodes. We know there are 11 teams. We also know that the next-to-last pit stop on Guam is elimination and that any pit stops after Malaysia and before Guam will have to be non-elimination. Where is this leading me? I conclude that there is a high probability of a double leg spanning two episodes and that it will be Hong Kong and Macau. That means Hong Kong will be the TBC leg and the Macau leg will contain the pit stop.

Why do I conclude that? Because I think it improbable for there to be two non-elimination episodes in a row. It has happened before, but I don't expect to see it in AR11. Also, the fact that you can get from Macau to Hong Kong airport in less than 2 hours makes the transportation end of this double leg easy. Macau has a rich culture and history and it should be easy to come up with other tasks and challenges to do on Macau, including baccarat.

hey guys new to this board, but im a reg at Sucks.  I have a theory on why romber is not out 4th care to hear your comments/opinions.

1st off yah i know teams have gotten off to good starts and are then out early like in a few legs, BUT Romber never placed worse then 5th in TAR7 leading me to be somewhat scepticle.

2nd the majority of the the info we got for the spoilers was from Izad over at Sucks, and im not to sure he is a big romber fan, leading me to believe that during his KL sightings there is the POSSIBILITY that he saw a team he hoped would go out early (romber, but then actually saw them) and then decided not to give us pictures of them and only give us the other 4 teams and making up the U/J thing to make it sound like they beat out romber again (not likely that this is true, but when you think about it its not a bad theory)

lastly from all the information we have romber is supposed to do good for the next 2 episodes, making it even harder to believe they lose

well thats my theory take with it what you will (basically this is what I'm going with in hopes they aren't out 4th because its a shock to me that they most-likely are :\)

:hello2: Sasuke11
from page one of this thead..
Don't you find it odd that Romber were not spotted in either Guam or on the flight to Hawaii with the Cha's especially because we know the Cha's go put 8th place?
I love Romber, they make everyone crazy because they never know what Romber is going to do next  :lol:. They are the best! I'd love to see them goall the way to the end :luvya:


Yigo, Guam (12/14-12/15?)
Reports at AFB they saw Ucheena & Joyce the Guidos and Dec 15th but missed Phil @ CO's counter checking on for the flight to Nagoya/Honolulu.
chevy posted on posts on Dec 16th( was on Guam for business this week ): saw a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges/Roadblock: Charla/Mirna were first with (again) a huge lead Eric/Danielle were next followed by...BQ's and...Cha Cha Chas's ( from what he wrote to Brad/foxburns )
Babalu's sister : sees U/J the Chas & Guidos on the flight from Guam to Honolulu on Friday Dec 15th
LiquidSapphire /AFB reports : the demanding blonde's and other contestants on DEC 16th on flight to Narita and then Honolulu.

Amazing Race Visits Guam
PNC Staff Reporter 16.DEC.06
10:22am Look out for a Guam stop in next season’s “The Amazing Race”. Guam was paid a visit by competitors of that reality TV show.
Guam was apparently a stop, and competitors were on Andersen Air Force, being filmed. The Pacific News Center contacted Air Force Officials, who confirmed the film crew was on base, but could not comment any further.

source PNC


Honolulu, HI (USA) (12/16-? )
To sum up Babalu's, sisters sighting:
( posted Friday Dec 15th )
*My sister called me this morning (just before 9:00 Hawai'ii time). She's a flight attendant on Air Micronesia and said that a "bunch" of TAR All-Stars teams were on her flight from Guam to Honolulu. She was calling me from the plane, which had just landed.
* They'd stayed at Anderson Air Force Base on Guam - had gotten in the previous morning and left the following day.
*These 3 teams may not have gone to Sequesterville (or may have gone to a short-term, different Sequesterville).
*They're probably teams #6 (Guidos), #5 (Uchenna/Joyce), and #4 (Chas) / Danny & Oswald
*Kath asked Danny if Rob/Amber and some of the other racers were another plane, and he said something like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's another plane."


*indications that these were eliminees:


- my sister comped drinks to the people on her side of the plane, but she noticed that some of the racers on the other side were paying for drinks, which she thought they wouldn't have done if money was 
nobody was asking any questions about transportation, where anything in Hawai'i is, etc. They all seemed really calm and relaxed. Kathy said that Uchenna asked her how long the delay would be, but it was only to find out if he had enough time to buy the Guidos a bottle of vodka at Duty Free.

the reason i don't jump on the plane sighting band wagon is because A. we knew all the teams before this point (unlike TAR10) and B. there is zero evidence expect eye-witness claims (unless i missed something).

yes i know im being hopeful probably pointlessly but im just hoping ;p :jam:

everybody's sources are different
I have them (rob and amber) going out after Joe&bill and Terri&Ian with a 6th place finish
sad for me because i enjoy watching them race.
but sources are never 100% correct in my  business i lose countless opportunity's due to reliable in the know sources who were coached to lead photographers
in other directions. puddin may have the correct elim list
or izzad could be way off in his reporting of his sighting
my sources could be off
we never know until it happens
but for now I'm just enjoying seeing these teams "except a few" running the race again

Well, it appears I picked a time between poster arguments to jump in and say hi to everyone at RFF, but what the heck, an entrance is an entrance, aye?  :lol:  :waves:

Anyway, I did indeed just register here, just found these forums today as I was googling for TAR spoilers.  I already belong to some other reality show forums and TAR forums, so I'm not a reality show forum newbie or TAR newbie, just a RFF newbie, so be kind until you know me well enough to throw rocks at me.   ;)

Just to answer any questions about why I'm here, it's because I love TAR, and because I love knowing anything about it, ESPECIALLY spoilers.  But then, I always read the last page or 2 of a book first, also, and I prefer to know how a movie ends before I watch the whole thing.  I like knowing how things end because it makes watching the whole thing more enjoyable for me.  It let's me appreciate nuances and little details that I might have missed otherwise.  It just makes the whole thing more fun for me, so that's why I love spoilers.  :yess:


Just so you know where I fall on team likes and dislikes.... well, I'll get the biggest question out of the way first.. I completely DESPISE Rob and Amber.  There, I said it, so love me or hate me or ignore me for it, lol.  However, I do have to say that who I like or dislike on teams doesn't really factor that much into my enjoyment of TAR as a whole, and I'm easily able to see two or three sides to any situation or story.  I also don't really care that much who actually wins any season, I like to watch for the human drama and personalities.  One of my favorite teams from past have been Danny and Oswald, just because I think they're so much fun.  I also like Joyce and Uchenna.  I loved Zach, but hate Flo.  I also hate the idea of an all star season of TAR because I don't think TAR's format fits that concept.  But naturally I'm going to watch, since I love TAR.   

So anyway, hi to all of you, and please at least hone down the sharp edges from any heavy items you throw at me for my likes or dislikes of certain racers.   :whips

btw, this forum has the best smilies of any boards, lol!  :tup:  Now I'm off to try to read through as many pages of posts here as I can, I have a lot of catching up to do.  If I'm not heard from again for a 10 hours, please someone have a pizza and Mountain Dew delivered to me?  ;)

Hello all. I'm new to this posting stuff, though have been lurking for months. I have finally worked up the courage to post. As all the newbies are waging in with their favorites and what not, here's my thoughts.
I didn't start watching TAR until season 7 (don't ask my why cause I'm a reality TV junkie, just never thought I'd enjoy it this much). I have watched sporatic episodes of earlier seasons on GSN (before they started playing in the early hours of morning). I'm going to duck as I say this......I'm a HUGE Romber fan  :-[   I'm not sure what it is about them that I like so much, I just do!! I love their Against the Odds show and, of course, I'm obsessed with Survivor. As far as other teams on the All Stars season, haven't come up with any stand out favorites...... yet. I'm leaning towards Eric and Danielle but we'll have to see a few more episodes for a final decision.
I DO know that I CANNOT STAND the BQ's, hate 'em with a passion. Not a big fan of Charla and Mirna either, I guess they're too pushy and forward for me.
All I know is this is shaping up to be a good season with some shockers here and there. I pray that the elimination list is off just a bit cause I'd love to see Romber triumphant!!! Great job on all the spoiling; you make my day at work much more enjoyable.

INTERVIEW: John Vito and Jill talk about their 'Amazing' adventure

....
Reality TV World:  Did being sequestered together change your feelings for each other or for any of the other teams?

John Vito:  Eventually there were five teams there, so it wasn't just like one-on-one time.
  We spent a lot of time with the group hanging out together.  I think we got to know people more and I think that everybody we were with are good people and I enjoyed spending the time with them to get to know them... although none of us wanted to be there.

Since it was my original post that seems to have upset pierced--let me comment, and then I vote we move on...

1) Like apskip said--there is no substitute for reading the thread!

2) One of the things that is so special about this forum is that while we all have widely divergent opinions and team favorites, we all value each other's opinions and treat each other with respect. And teamwork is really, really important here as we work towards finding out new spoilers!  All of us have something valuable to add to our quest here, and neobies have offered very important information in recent days. So we are glad you are here, and hope that in days to come you will read the thread and help us find some new information to add to our stockpile of knowledge. But please be kind to your fellow posters :js:

3) And just to take note: It takes a lot to rile up puddin--so if she is giving you some suggestions--pay attention!

WHITE WATER RAFTING(WWR)

I have been doing a global search for white water rafting along the known or potential tour of AR11. Here is what I have found by episode:

3. Reasonable probability that route could go form Puerto Montt  to Chaiten, Chile to allow access to Rio Futaleufu, one of the best whitewater rivers in Chile. This would delay by one day arrival in Punta Arenas. There are other possibilities in Chile but this one appears to be the most consistent with the ongoing route of AR11.

4. Good whitewater is just too far to reach from Ushuaia.

5. There is no whitewater anywhere close to Maputo.

6. Coming out of Maputo, here are some choices:
a. Livingstone, Zambia/Zambezi River near Victoria Falls – been there done that in AR1, episode 1 so I don’t think we will see a return there even though WWR is excellent
b. Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania – no WWR
c. Zanzibar, Tanzania – no WWR
d. Nairobi, Kenya – several options including Tana river, Athi river, and Malewa river within 2 hour drive
e. Kampala, Uganda -  Bujagali Falls has excellent WWR(although class 5 may be too much) nearby

7. There is no WWR near Poland and even if there was who would do it in December in that climate?

8. There is no WWR anywhere close to Kuala Lumpur.

9. Hong Kong – no WWR

10. Macau – no WWR

11. Guam – no WWR

12. Hawaii – no WWR nearby

13. San Francisco – no WWR nearby

I conclude from the above that we will see the whitewater action either in Chile or in Kenya. If it’s is Chile, then the question is will it be integrated into the Punta Arenas leg or made into a separate leg? If it’s Kenya, then will there also be a Tanzania leg? I don’t have the answers to those questions but would value your opinions.

Post by: apskip on February 23, 2007, 07:16:07 PM
After hearing Phil on PUDDIN's video say "a few other countries in Africa," I am ready to go with a final routing prediction for AR11. This is based on my guess that whitewater rafting will be on one of the Kenya rivers reachable from Nairobi (Tana, Athi, or Malewa most probable) and that means that the side trip to CHAITEN in Chile will not happen. So here goes:

3. San Pedro de Atacama to Punta Arenas, Chile(and probably pitstop in Porvenir, Chile)

4. Porvenir, Chile to Ushuaia, Argentina

5. Ushuaia to Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo to Johannesburg to Maputo, Mozambique

6. Maputo to Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania(or maybe Zanzibar)

7. Dar-es-Salaam(or maybe Zanzibar) to Nairobi, Kenya

8. Nariobi, Kenya to Warsaw,Poland

9. Warsaw to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

10. Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong

11. Hong Kong to Macau
 
12. Macau to Guam

13. Guam to Tokyo to Honolulu, Hawaii; then Honolulu to SanFrancisco

What is interesting is that April 1 will be the Tanzania to Kenya to Poland episodes. They could be a double leg or separate legs; it really doesn't matter. The same thing occurs on Hong Kong to Macau to Guam. They might be a double leg, two separate legs, or a combined single leg followed by an unknown destination between Macau and Guam.

I am working on all the flights for a leading and trailing team to see how the timing works out. I will post my findings and the timeline that results tomorrow when I have finished.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on February 24, 2007, 10:13:02 AM
THE ULTIMATE TIMELINE for Flights and Pitstops

Here are the remaining legs with my predicted routing plus the flights that are likely for both a leading team and a trailing team:

2. Quito 11/22 to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
If no or early tasks in Quito allows this, then
Fly UIO to Panama City on COPA 210 0740 to 0925, then PTY to Santiago CM796 1138 to 1953, then catch last flight to Antofagasta LAN 376 2100 to 2255. Get a rental car to make up the extra 125 miles to Calama in about 2 hours and arrive about 9 hours ahead of the teams coming directly to Calama by air.
For teams who can’t make this connection then the structure of flights from SCL to CJC means that there is no benefit to getting to SCL early. I expect that teams will try unnecessary connections through Bogota and elsewhere, but the simplest and most reasonable is TACA 028 UIO to LIM 1805 to 2010, then LACSA 651 LIM to SCL 2105 0225, then LAN 344 SJC to CJC 0640 to 0845.

Pitstop  is around noon on 11/23.

3. San Pedro de Atacama 11/24 to Punta Arenas, Chile
Drive back from San Pedro de Atacama to Calama
Fly from Calama to Santiago LAN 359 0730 to 1020, then Santiago to Puerto Montt LAN 271 1100 to 1240
Activities in the Puerto Montt area in afternoon
Teams fly PMC to Punta Arenas LAN 297 2140 to 0050
Activities in Punta Arenas area on 11/25 then pitstop in Punta Arenas or Porvenir.

4. 11/26 Punta Arenas or Porevenir (crossing Strait of Magellan by ferry if didn't do it prior evening) with U-drive cars picked up at Porvenir, then 9 hour drive through Tierra del Fuego Island to Tierra del Fuego National Park, then on into Ushuaia, Argentina
Pitstop late on 11/27

5. Ushuaia 11/28 to Maputo
Leaders fly out on Aerolineas Argentinas 1886 from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires International 1030 to 1511; stragglers go on AR2811 2136 to 0056 arriving at Buenos Aires Domestic, requiring bus or taxi transfer to Buenos Aires International terminal
LAN Argentina 4554 Buenos Aires 1900 to 2135 Sao Paulo
LAN Argentina 4550 Buenos Aires 0805 to 1040 Sao Paulo
SAA206 Sao Paulo 1725 to 0715 Johannesburg
TM300 Johannesburg 0840 to Maputo 0940 11/30
NOTE that catching the earlier flight out of Ushuaia made no difference in arrival at Maputo due to once a day transatlantic flight.

Pitstop on evening of 12/1

6. Maputo 12/2 to Dar-es-Salaam(Note: Zanzibar, which is almost as likely, has a separate set of flights which are less frequent in and out and one of the reasons I think it will be Dar-es-Salaam)
Leaders fly on TM301 to JNB 0700 to 0800, then SA188 to DAR 1420 to 1730
Stragglers fly TM305 to JNB 0170 to 1830, then KQ465 to Nairobi(NBO) 004?0 to 0350, PW480 to DAR 0725 to 0840

Pitstop on 12/3

7. Dar-es-Salaam 12/4 to Nairobi
Leaders fly out on KQ481 to NBO 0940 to 1055.
Stragglers can get either KQ483 1515 to 1630 or KQ1945 1945 to 2100

Pitstop early on 12/6

8. Nairobi to Warsaw 12/7
Leaders fly out on Swissair 293 to Zurich 0020 to 0625, then Swisair1342 to Warsaw 0710 to 0910
Stragglers fly out on KQ116 to Amsterdam (AMS) 1135 to 1850, then LOT 268 to WAW 1945 to 2140

Pitstop on 12/8

9. Warsaw 12/9 to Kuala Lumpur
Leaders fly out on LOT223 WAW to VIE 0740 to 0905, then OS001
VIE to KUL 1050 to 0445.
Stragglers can catch either of: LOT 5221 WAW to VIE 100 to 1230, then EVA AIR 062     VIE to BKK 1330 to 0535, then IC853 0710 to 1010 OR
KL1766 WAW to AMS 1710 to 1920, then KL809 AMS to KLL 2045 to 1530

Pitstop 12/10 late evening or 12/11 early afternoon

10. Kuala Lumpur 12/11 to Hong Kong
Nonstop slights on either Cathay Pacific or Malaysia Airlines KUL to HKG at 0800, 0915, 0950, 1345, 1755, and 1845.

Pit stop late on 12/12

11. Hong Kong 12/13 to Macau
A hydrofoil taking just over one hour will get teams from Hong Kong to Macau.

Pitstop late on 12.13

12. Macau 12/14 to Hong Kong to Guam
Teams should take the hydrofoil back to Hong Kong since the International Airport has superior flights to everywhere.
Flight options start at 1010 with JAL730 to NRT 1010 to 1500, then CO007 NRT to GUM 1715 to 1950 and end with the most direct routing of CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440. There are about 10 other combinations in between.

Pit stop late on 12/15

13.Guam 12/16 to Narita to Honolulu(maybe with tasks on Oahu) to San Francisco (12/17)
The final 3 is definitely flying on Northwest, either flight 81 or 73 GUM to NRT. They leave at 1545 to 1615 and arrive at 1835 to 1900. Then it will almost certainly be NW 010 leaving Narita at 2010 arriving Honolulu at 0730 same day due to cross the International Date Line. On to San Francisco that night there will be a wealth of options. United, USAir, Northwest, and Delta all have nonstop flights departing HNL between 2200 and 2359 and arriving SFO before 0700. Take your pick.

Finish Line late morning of 12/17

Post by: scoop0 on February 25, 2007, 05:41:32 PM
Sorry - to pop in here late to add to the WWR info re: Rio Futaleufu - but here's the deal down there.

The flights into Puerto Montt are no problem, but giong on to Chaitan would be. They only have a single airstrip there that can accommodate planes carrying up to 12 passengers give or take a few. They also have strict weight limits. The planes are always full with rafters, sport fishermen and avid climbers. The Chaitan airport is frequently socked in with fog and people may or may not get there on a specific day. In addition, the drive from Chaitan to the put-in takes about 3 hours.

Also, one rafting company owns the land around Rio Futaleufu and allows only a couple other outfitters to raft there. It's a class 5+ river and you have to pass a fairly rigorous test to be able to go down the river. All these things point to them not rafting there, as it would take well over a day just to get there, not to mention everything involved with actually being on the river.

However, the vid cap looked eerily like the "Fu", with its aqua color (coming from the copper in the mountains). There aren't many rivers that are that color - most are brownish.

That being said - I wish they were going there. It is absolutlely one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and the rafting is the best ever. I'm looking forward to seeing where it actually is (so I can raft there too!)

Thanks for letting me give my $0.02. :js:

Repeating from yesterday:

Nice  San Pedro site  (http://www.sanpedroatacama.com/ingles/visitar.htm) with maps and local attractions.(Has 360 degree videos of each site)

Things to do nearby:
Quote
2. Valley of the Moon 
 
Located in the Cordillera de la Sal, it represents an extraordinary attraction becouse of its similitude to the moon landscape and its enormous natural coliseum. There is a big dune from which you can appreciate the zone.

Duration: 2-3 hours Distance: 17 km. 


Quote
3. Toconao and Salar de Atacama 
 
South from San Pedro, you get to the center of the impressive Salar de Atacama. Through the way it is possible to have a good sight of the volcanoes Licancabur and Lascar among others. Continuing with the travel you reach to Toconao and the Salar with the Chaxa lagoon which is inhabitated by flamingos.

Duration : 3-4 hours Distance: 38 km to Toconao
Value: $8.000-10.000 (per person in tour)
 


Quote
5. Termas de Puritama:
 
Volcanic hot springs (30ºC) with falls and pools, produced by the hot water of the Puritama river. They are located in a small canyon of amazing natural beauty and they represent an unforgettable experience. Today, the Hotel Explora is in charge of the administration , but the entrance is open for every person who wants to visit them .

Duration: 4-5 hours Distance: 28 km
 


Quote
7. Death Valley (Valle de la Muerte) 
 
It is a mountainous and sandy valley near to San Pedro . To get there you have to go through the Cordillera de la Sal where natural sculptures can be admired.

Duration: 2 hours Distance: 3 km
 


Quote
4. El Tatio Geysers 
 
It is a geothermal field located in the Los Andes Cordillera (4.200 mt over the sea level) which at sunrise presents impressive steaming fumaroles produced by the high temperatures of their watery craters. Don't forget warm clothing, bathing suit, towel, sunblock and mineral water.

Duration : 8 hours Distnance: 89 km
 


PEACH, you caught both the Valley of the Moon and the Valley de la Muerte in this posting with matching pictures from early February. Great job!

Post by: apskip on February 25, 2007, 08:32:23 PM
scoop0, thanks for your interesting information on Chaiten and Rio Fetafeulu. Timing is the main reason I have rejected a side trip there, since teams have to be in Punta Areans in order to be seen at the time they are photographed. However, "It's a class 5+ river and you have to pass a fairly rigorous test to be able to go down the river." would also be enough to kill it as an AR11 rafting site, as there is no way the Amazing Race can send teams down a Class 5+ river.

I look forward to seeing if my prediciton that whitewater rafting will be on one of 3 rivers in Kenya proves to be correct.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: scoop0 on February 26, 2007, 04:51:16 PM
Peach,
Thanks for asking re: the river class.  ;D Here's my take on it.

While I love rafting (the wilder the better), it's really hard to tell the class of a particular rapid from just one shot. The difficulty depends alot on what comes both before and after it, as well as the obstacles around it. I would estimate by the picture that it's probably around a 3.5 since it's pretty close to the shallow rocky shore and that the guides in the back are using paddles rather than being in an oarboat. Also, at the time of the race, the water level would not have been very high and therefore not as fast and furious. I am guessing that it looks really wild but is not terribly dangerous. Challenging, but not to the point where they could die if they flip. I just wished they showed more in the intro vid.

It's good that they're rafting in Chile, as the water is beautiful. It's not like in a previous season (don't remember which one) when they rafted in Argentina with muddy, mucky water. (I believe I read in the episode 3 thread that the detour is either dlimbing or rafting and they're still in Chile).

ETA: I looked again and noticed that only one of the four people in the raft is paddling. The other three would be working hard if the rapid were difficult to navigate.

Post by: georgiapeach on February 26, 2007, 05:07:49 PM
Thanks scoop0!

I was wondering if it was as scary as it looked--don't want any of our guys drowning! :o

We've been speculating in the Ep 3 thread about the possible location of this rapid, and so far we seem to think it might be the Petrohue.  Would you have any ideas about whether or not that might be right? I've been on so many rafting tours today that I'm all confused! :lol:

Thank you so much for all your input here--nice to have an expert on board!
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on February 26, 2007, 05:17:54 PM
PEACH, one source states that Rio Petrohue is Class 3 and another claims it is Class 3 to 4. scoop0's estimate of 3.5 looks right on the money.

Post by: scoop0 on February 26, 2007, 05:31:10 PM
Peach,

I'd hardly call myself an expert :-[, but I do have a passion for rafting and have done the "Fu" twice. If I truly appreciated the dangers of it, I'd probably think twice. Nah, I'd do it anyway.

I haven't been to other rivers in Chile, but the Petrohue looks like a viable choice. Getting to Puerto Montt is fairly easy and a one hour drive to the put-in is realistic given the timeline. I'll be excited to see if your scouting is correct. I love all your info and am glad that I could contribute to your hard work. Thanks! :tup:

I am definitely in the anti-Rob/Amber club, but you have to give  ROB his due. The man does know his contruction machines! With all the bunching earlier in episode 2, his skill with the front loader did legitimately earn them first place in this episode(unlike episode 1 where he bought it with the leading taxi).

Teams still in the race that we I don't recall footage (either in clips or the show itself) of paying a cab to lead them are:  Eric & Danielle, Teri & Ian, Joe & Bill, and possible Uchenna & Joyce (I haven't watch clips for that season).

The only one I am absolutely sure of from clips and show is Eric & Jeremy (thus Eric).

Now that doesn't mean they never did it. 

Though of course, there is a whole list of different ways to navigate, without actually doing it yourself, following other cabs, following other teams, getting a fern to drive with you and navigate, getting a fern to drive in front of you and lead you, ect.

Sharkattack--you are entitled to one free tour with your entry ticket--after that you might have to actually read the thread! :lol:

The proposed "bootlist" (which is 100% accurate so far) can be found on the first page of this section, along with a summary of what we know so far.

 This page  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?board=54.0) has all the current topics we are talking about, and should be your starting place to see what is going on. You can find the Insider Vids for Week 2 here, but the leaderboard will only tell you about previous week results, not about the current week.

The results of this week (aside from the eliminated team), are what all the detectives are trying to figure out--and you can read about all the discussions in the  Sticky EP 3 thread  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?board=54.0). Any research findings or speculations can go there.

Hope that helps!

We are pretty sure about Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas and Ushuaia in addition to Quito and San Pedro de Atacama. That's a total of 5 legs, some of which may be combined into double legs or be non-elimination legs.

It's hard to say exactly why. It could be a Yield. But, let's face it, the most likely reason is Rob's colossal overconfidence leading him to take huge risks that other teams would blanch at. They are going to make a big mistake as a result and pay the price.

Post by: apskip on March 05, 2007, 12:13:30 PM
Hmm...do we know how many south American legs there are going to be yet?

New answer: 4, with Punta Arenas and Ushuaia combined into a single episode.

This brings up the interesting question of episode count to get to 13.

With the timing of the Africa legs, it will be difficult to do more than 3. Total after Africa = 7

Poland takes a huge amount of time to get to and from, so one is the max for Europe. Total after Europe =8

Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Macau are Asia. If Hong Kong and Macau get combined into a single leg, then there might be one more probably offshore like Taiwan or Philippines which are connections anyway to add in. Total after this group = 10 or 11

Pacific Islands of Guam and Hawaii. Guam will definitely count toward total. Hawaii may or may not, depending on whether the count is 11 or 12 on arrival. On departure from Hawaii, count will have been or be 12.

San Francisco is 13 (and maybe Hawaii is also, not sure).

I think Rob and amber are good tv.  They are good competitors and make the other teams worry about them and not just on the race.  I am sad if they really go out because I think they are good competitors and make the others step up.  Only thing I am sad about is Charla and Mirna making the top 3.  I am not srue what it is the constant screaming or Mirna always whinning that they were not treated fair.

Shipwreck Beach. The real, live shipwreck is in the background. The arrow is there to direct teams from that reality show "Amazing Race". Apparently they were filming an episode that weekend.

The times work!

Maybe an Intersection?? Would they do that with (how many now?) teams left?

Anyway, more confirmation for the bootlist!

SLOWHATCH, your MACAU to HONG KONG ferry information is a keeper. Note the perfect fit with my posting #1702 ULTIMATE TIMELINE:

11. Hong Kong 12/13 to Macau
A hydrofoil taking just over one hour will get teams from Hong Kong to Macau.

Pitstop late on 12/13

12. Macau 12/14 to Hong Kong to Guam
Teams should take the hydrofoil back to Hong Kong since the International Airport has superior flights to everywhere.
Flight options start at 1010 with JAL730 to NRT 1010 to 1500, then CO007 NRT to GUM 1715 to 1950 and end with the most direct routing of CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440. There are about 10 other combinations in between.

Thanks, schwarzmoor.  :tup: I'm starting to think that the mat was in Macau, not HK. A couple of possibilities: the poster fashionblue (see above) just didn't recognize both Danny and Oswald (I didn't recognize them in the zodiac); or they had just been eliminated and no longer had to sit together.

SLOWHATCH, I believe that there were pitstops in both HONG KONG on Dec. 12 and MACAU on Dec. 13, so there would be mats in both places.

I heard about the Amazing Race All Stars. As it turns out that I was on Guam for business this week and got to see a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges. For the sake of integrity, I won't mention what teams I saw but I did get to see them do the road blocks. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes part of it all just for a few minutes of footage. They did their competition on the AF base there and it was pretty cool. We were not allowed to take pictures for obvious reasons. I can't wait to see the episodes air in Feb to see how it turns out.

heres (http://www.outsports.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=37265&view=findpost&p=315558) a follow up:

You will be surprised on who the final 4 will be. I had the opportunity to see all 4 teams in action during a stop in Guam in Dec. IT was very interesting to see what goes behind the filming. It will be interesting to see what actually makes it on TV. They probably filmed for a couple of hours to get just a few minutes of final footage. When the epsiode airs, I will give you more of my take on the "realism" of the tasks accomplished.

But about the Finish Line, is there any hard evidence that Eric and Danielle come first? Because at realitytvcalendar they've posted the spoiler list but I have not read any hard evidence on the F3 placings.

Is it all just an estimated guess?

Thanks a lot, looking forward to Charla Mirna and Romber showdown  :happy: :happy:

lol thanks.

In no way do I doubt the list, I just want to see the BQs win instead of come 2nd to Eric and Danielle (who I also love).

That would be so cool.

It'd be like Zabrina and Joe Jer in The Amazing Race Asia! But better because I love the Queens.

Hot and smart. Yummy.

Hey puddin  :waves:

I did read the first page, but all I just wanted to know if there was hard evidence for the F3. I guess people are just saying E/D come first because they are the physically strongest team out of the 3 that remain?

Which is good. That'll keep me guessing  :lol:

Hey, I accidently got all this info leaked too me so now I'm in full spoiler research mode becuase this leaked potential ending of Mirna/Schmirna, the BQ's and meat head and blondie in the final 3 is horrifying.

Basiclly, can someone summerize how sure the potential final 3 are? It seems the only reason people seem to think that Uchena and Joyce and Cha Cha Cha are out is becuase they saw them on a flight where they didnt looked that stressed. how real is this source? Please tell me there is some hope that the final 3 everyone is talking about ISNT the real final 3. Thanks.

The info is as surefire as Puddin can make it.  And when Puddin says something, you listen with full attention.  The Puddin has picked the first three eliminations to the "T' and her fourth prediction of Romber going out tonight is sure fire true.  Now I think she has hedged a bit on the final winner, and has just indicated that the F3 will be (in order) Schmirna, BQ's and then the Lovely Couple.  So it still may come to pass that the BQ's are the eventual winners.  Schmirna is toast though.

I am going to take some liberties with this SPOILER thread (many others seem to, so why not me for a good cause). Many of you have not been thrilled about the lengthy stay of Ammazing Race All-Stars in Ssouth America, but I have been thrilled with the interesting places chosen to visit. I have correlated that with some quite unusually good TV programs that have been on just after AR11 went to areas affected. The were shown and will be replayed again this week, at least for some lucky people. I placed summaries of these shows on the Maps, Maps, Maps thread for those that are interested. These are #15 on Feb. 28 and #17 on March 12. The replays are:

The Andes: the Dragon's Back on the New Jersey PBS Network, Monday March 19, 8pm to 9pm

Bizarre Foods: Ecuador, with Andrew Zimmern on The Travel Channel, Saturday March 24, 10pm to 11pm

I highly recommend both programs, as you might guess from having gone to the trouble of writing summaries about them.

Judging by the warm clothes, it's probably Europe (Poland).  Wild guess, but could be interior of the Royal Castle in Warsaw.  Or NOT.  :groan:   Needs more work.....   ???

Did a little photochopping of puddins vidcap.  Looks to be double red colored columns, surrounding a fireplace mantle with overhanging guilded mirror and assorted nick-nacks and busts on pedistals.  That should narrow it down a bit.   :groan:   :snicker:

I've been looking around for something with the right "marble content." The Warsaw royal palace has plenty of marble, but no matching patterns I've found. The Wilanow palace, just outside of town, doesn't have as much marble, but it is famous for it's collections of pottery/knicknacks/etc.

I assume it has to be a sizable structure to have that amount of marble.  That could narrow it down.   :groan:

I just looked through half of the Polish Palaces.. but most of them only show photos of the exterior, and dont show the inside of the palace.. which makes it near impossible to work out if it's a match..

Im using an online translator to try and send an email in polish to the people at the website with the building lists.. fingers crossed X

Sorry, I know I posted this before but...

Correct me if I'm wrong, I just watched the recent episode here in good ol Australia.

Did anyone find this quote by Eric (after they lost in the footrace to Guido) a little foreshadowing?

Eric: "She got beat by a bunch of QUEENS."

*Slow motion sarcastic eye roll by Danielle with the dundundun music of foreshadowance (hehe)*

Please let that happen in the final leg. Please please please.

Is it anything I should be worrying about? Or am I overthinking (haha)?

puddin--the mermaid info is wonderful!

But the item on the mantel behind Joe is a mantel clock (Chateau called it earlier)

It seems to be a nice French clock circa 1830-80 on a white marble/alabaster base with ormolu decorations.

The lady on top is in a fairly classical  pose and is probably done in bronze.
Here are some other clocks to give you an idea...

I have cross looked clocks/Warsaw/Poland castles and did get some who have clock collections--but no luck with clocks and our marble.

Clocks at  Wawel royal Castle  (http://www.wawel.krakow.pl/en/index.php?op=94,13)

Clocks at  Choroszcz Palace  (http://www.culture.pl/en/culture/instytucje/muzea/in_mu_choroszcz)

Wawal Palace is in Krakow.

Other palaces that might work in Warsaw are:

Royal Palace: the Marble Room or New Audience Room or Knight's Hall

Myslewicki Palace, used very often for Chopin piano recitals

Palace on the Water

The White House

Wilanow Palace: Queen's Antechamber, Great Hall, or Great Crimson room.

Just a few possibilities for Poland.

This type of figurative mantlepiece clock in Ormolu (partly guit bronze) is typical for 19th century Paris clocks. This example from about 1850 comes from the Richelieu household.

PEACHHHHHHHHHHHH :lol: !!!!

HISTORY
 


The Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw, is a charming must-see palace and garden complex, which stretches within the area of nearby 80 hectares.


The origins of Łazienki date back to the cusp of the 17th century, when Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, the Grand Royal Marshal was the owner of Ujazdów. A sophisticated Bathhouse was built here at that time.


In 1764 Ujazdów became the property of Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski, who established his summer residence here and gave it its general appearance. The executors of king’s ideas included many artists like architects – Dominik Merlini, Jan Chrystian Kamsetser and Jakub Kubicki, painters – Jan Bogumił Plersch and Marcello Bacciarelli, sculptors – Andrzej Le Brun, Jakub Monaldi and Franciszek Pinck.


It took over two decades, starting from 1772, to metamorphose the baroque Lubomirski Bathhouse to the classicist Palace on the Isle, with the picturesque southern facade and the monumental northern one adorned with a column portico. To this day the three chambers of the ground floor preserved the baroque décor dating back to the Lubomirski times. Other interiors are decorated with original ornamentation made by notable artists of the Stanislaus period including furniture, gold-plated bronzes and copies of antique sculptures as well as magnificent paintings.


In 1774 the White House was erected. It was designed for the royal sisters and had identical decorations on all facades. In its representative chambers one was able to admire the original polychromy made by Plersch.


In 1775 – 1783 the Myślewicki Palace with the characteristic recess in the facade and semicircular side wings was built. It was the residence of Prince Józef Poniatowski (the king’s nephew), initials of which are inscribed over the central window. Its interiors are still adorned with 18th – century paintings, works of court artists.


On the shore of the southern pond, the initially an earthy Amphitheatre with the stage on an island, was replaced in 1790 by a new stone one modelled on the ancient Herculaneum. The stage was enriched by decorations imitating antique ruins of the Forum Romanum, whereas the auditorium was adorned with the statues of famous playwrights mounted on the attic.


The road near the northern pond is enhanced by the Guardhouse, next to which there is the Grand Off-building, which during the Congress Kingdom of Poland housed the Officer-Cadet School. On November 29, 1830, the officers left the school initiating the November Uprising by the attack on the Belvedere Palace – the headquarters of the grand duke Constantine, brother of Tsar Alexander I. During the Stanislaus times, the then baroque Belverder accommodated officials. One of the outbuildings housed a faience manufactory, which produced the so-called „belvedere” faience.


The Royal Orangery, erected in 1786-88 on the plan of the rectangular horseshoe, with the southern facade of the core structure broken up by pilasters and arcaded great windows, houses the magnificent interior, ranked among the most notable international examples of authentic 18th-century manorial theatres. The theatre’s interior is made of wood. The auditorium, consisting of stalls and surrounding balconies, is richly decorated with paintings. Walls between the balconies, divided by twin pilasters, are adorned with female statues holding chandeliers. Also the Royal Orangery houses the famous Gallery of Polish Sculpture (XVI – XX c.). It is unique Gallery of this kind in Poland.


With time the garden, part of which was composed in the spirit of regular arrangements and part was landscaped, had been changing its appearance as well. In 1778 the White House along with the Bathhouse was joint via the so-called Royal Promenade. In its proximity a pavilion, designed for the fashionable at that time Trou Madame game, was erected. Soon, it was changed into a theatre, called the Small Theatre, which in 1830 was replaced by the New Guardhouse. The old canals and water bodies near the Bathhouse were transformed into scenic ponds. The Palace on the Isle featured a view on the water cascade and stone bridge where the monument to Jan III Sobieski was erected. The garden was beautified by a myriad of arbours, bridges, sculptures and waterworks – one of them in time was modelled on the ancient tomb of Cecilia Metelli on via Appia near Rome.


The last king of Poland shaped the Łazienki in the classicist style, however, he bestowed upon it an individual hallmark, in accordance with his own aesthetic concept. For this reason it is named the Stanislaus Augustus style.


During the partitions of Poland, when the Łazienki were taken over by the tsar’s court, the Belveder was reconstructed and several pavilions, also in classicist style were built.


In December 1944 the Nazis burnt the Palace on the Isle, drilling nearly a thousand holes in its walls for dynamite, intending to blow it up. Fortunately, they didn’t have time to do it. After the war the Palace on the Isle was thoroughly reconstructed.


Today, the Royal Łazienki Residence fulfils functions of a museum and the garden, being
visited by a throng of tourists from the country and the entire world, at the same time serving as a splendid promoter of culture.

the salt mines would rock as a task..

Salt mines intro
 For centuries, salt was mined near Kraków and brought wealth to the region. Two mines can be visited, of which the one in Wieliczka is the most spectacular. About 20 million years ago, this area was covered by a shallow, salty sea. Unfortunately for Kraków the beaches have gone, but left behind were some huge salt deposits that ended up 10-200m underground due to tectonic movements. Ever since the Stone Age, locals have been boiling brine to extract salt from the easily reachable layers; from the 13th century people started to dig for rock-salt. The mines gradually developed from small shafts used by local farmers and operating only in wintertime, to complexes of tunnels with horse-powered winches until finally into the modern mines that were eventually closed in the 1990s. Both the Bochnia and Wieliczka mines can be visited on tours that last about two hours, with witty guides who give insight into ancient and modern salt mining techniques and the artworks, chapels, lakes, sports facilities and sanatoriums you now find underground. The temperature in both mines is a constant 15°C. If you want to impress the guide, memorise the wonderful words Szczêscie Boże (stench-tsh boh-zhe); this essential, unpronouncable bit of salt miners’ lingo means as much as ‘may God protect you

As long as you mean Kuala Lumpur and not Singapore for the Malaysian pitstop and except for the uncertainty about episode 7 (I expect somewhere near Nairobi, Kenya), you are right on the money with the information you can find on page 1 of the SPOILER thread an several other threads here at RFF.

Reviews of the Salt Mines--I am so going to hell....

Quote
My family and I went to Wieliczka about six years ago. It was a great experience and was even funny when one man kissed the "sacred" dwarf. I believe that the entire world should come and see Wieliczka sometime in their lifetime.

I certainly can second that review.  The Wieliczka Salt Mines must be one of the seven "new" wonders of the world.  Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful sculptures and carvings and caverns some 500 feet deep with pools of green water in the bottom.  You descend down into these caverns on rickity wooden stairs clingling to the sides of sheer walls.

One spot covers two eps: 7 and 8 maybe.

TV Guide lists regular one-hour show, ep 9, for April 8 (probably be on late due to Masters)

That would bring final Ep 13 on May 6, first Sunday of the May sweeps

I don't like this whole C/M being ahead in every spoiler we here of them thing, it's not nice!

I bet you they just keep getting good flights. Yes, that is it, I seriously doubt they maintain their lead from now until Guam! (the Guam spoiler said there was a huge gap between them and E/D, D/K, D/O) so they probably got on a better flight!

Watch, with my luck the boot list WILL be wrong, but D/K wont win, it will be C/M!  >:(

Post by: michael on March 27, 2007, 11:56:02 PM
I think Izad said that this was just a route marker, and he had reasons to believe that this was fairly early in the leg so for the Mirna/Charla fans wouldn't get their hopes up that they maintain the lead, since they are there at 8AM there is most likely going to be some kind of HOH come into play.

Hi guys,

I haven't been posting much cause University's being a bitch.  (:;)  B:)

Anyway, just wanted to check firstly on how you all are  ;D

Now onto the show.

It's very confusing the way they are editing the F3. C/M seem to be getting a better edit as they progress further, D/K are seriously barely there which I totally hate because they're frickin awesome and E/D are just like any other couple on the show.

Still think it's foreshadowing with Eric's comment with: "Danielle got beat by a bunch of Queens"

But I like this season. Still  :luvya: the Final 4.

Stay safe all, Dan.

Thanks Izad! Yeah I guess it would be kind of hard for you to tell if they were #1 in Poland or not since you weren't there! I think right now the biggest possibilty would be them getting on a really early flight, afterall, they aren't THAT far ahead of BQs and the chas

Bah - that was badly written so I will rewrite it

The "first female team to get three firsts in a row" is more likley in my opinion then a "are you kidding, we're first?!" BUT, if you look at it it does not make sense. We see the chas running to the pitstop in daylight, and we see C/M doing tasks wearing the exact same clothes in daylight. How would C/M get hours ahead of D/O again? They checked in at nearly the same time, and things like that don't usually happen in TAR, so it is very unlikely! Don't forget, C/M only have a 2 hour lead in Malaysia, which could easily be gained from a quicker flight or something like that!

I can't wait until sunday night! Discussing things with you guys is so much fun  :wohoo:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: anon1akacolby on March 28, 2007, 08:01:39 PM
Hi guys, this is my first posting here as I've been lurking for awhile but reading up on all the speculation you guys do on each leg has gotten me to think so I decided to bit the bullet and post.  I'm usually over at Sucks but the amount of effort that you guys put in here on speculation using vidcaps and research is amazing! I've enjoyed reading it all.

I also wasn't sure if to put this here or post it in the Ep 7/Ep 8 thread discussion, mainly b/c I discuss some of the spoilers Izad has posted about the Malaysia leg in order to work backward to figure out how the Poland leg ended.   I didn't want to post this there if it leaked any spoilers. 


At any rate, here are my thoughts.......


My speculation on the Poland leg……

According to Izad's pictures, C/M were seen at the Batu Cave's roughly by 8:00am.  In looking at the flights from Warsaw to Kuala Lumpur, the flights that fit best for C/M to arrive at the Batu Caves at the noted time are as follows:

LOT Polish Airlines Flt 223
Warsaw to Vienna 7:40am - 9:05am

Austrian Airlines Flt 1
Vienna to Kuala Lumpur  10:50am - 4:45am

Add in time to de-board the airplane, make their way through the airport and possibly take  public transport or drive to the Batu Caves, that puts them at the Batu Caves  by roughly 8:00 am.

If this airline information is correct and we work our way backwards to the Poland Leg, in order for C/M to make a 7:40am flight after a 12 hour mandatory rest period, I would guess that they reached the Poland pit stop somewhere between 3pm – 6pm.  Definitely no later that 6pm b/c any later than that, 12 hours later would be 6am and factoring in travel to the  airport and booking flights, it would make it difficult to make a 7:40am flight.


Now, based upon the vidcaps of C/M at the pit stop with Phil, it is dark outside.  Based upon this website:
http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/EPWA/2006/12/8/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA

Sunset in Warsaw, during the time they were traveling (December), the sun set's early.  It apparently set starting around 3:24pm.   Actual Time:
Rise: 7:31 AM CET,  Set: 3:24 PM CET

Therefore, C/M could arrive at the pit stop at 4:00pm and it would be dark outside just like in the picture.  That fits with them possibly starting the next leg in my timeline above (for example we will say 4am) and making the 7:40am flight to Vienna.


Also, in looking at the other pictures of the Chas and the BQ's running and the pics of Phil at the pit stop when the sun is out.  In all the pictures, the sunlight does appear to look like the sun is setting.  In the pics of the Cha's, sun is shown shining on the grass.  In the pic of Phil, there is no sun on the grass.  This all fits in with the sun setting at 3:24pm CET.  The cha's and BQ's could be arriving at the pit stop between 2:30pm – 3:24pm.

Also, if you look at the pics of the Cha's the tree with the "V" can be seen.  In the pic of Phil, if I am correct you can see the same "V" shape tree.  Also in the Phil pic there is a bench and people at that tree and it looks a little darker.  In the pic of the Cha's running, there are no people at the tree which leads me to believe the shot of Phill looking toward the white building, is of a later team arriving, perhaps the BQs.

Therefore, I'm am guessing, based upon the light in the pics of the Cha's,the Cha's may be arriving at the pit stop first and the BQ's second.  C/M would come in 3rd after the sun set.

Also, based upon the Malaysian leg, we do know that the 5th team, most likely U/J, were stuck in Poland.  Therefore, we can surmise one of the following happening:



Scenario 1

All teams are bunched up at the Warsaw airport and  C/M somehow find a better flight than the others even though they bunch up at the airport.  U/J just have bad luck and can't get on any flights.   The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is why would any teams ahead of C/M allow them to get on a better flight after what happened on the previous leg?  Did C/M use their powers of persuasion to get on the first flight?  Was it a risky move  with standby tickets in Vienna and the other teams weren't willing to take the risk? If the Chas and BQs were ahead of C/M you would think they would be aware of the early flight connecting through Vienna.  And with U/J getting stuck Poland like Izad overheard, does that mean they were next to last in the Poland Leg which caused them to not make the same flight as the everyone else?

Scenario 2

C/M are Team 1 at the end of the Poland leg.   Though I can't seem to support this happening unless they finished the Poland leg the night before the Cha's and the BQ's and they couldn't find a flight out of Warsaw until the same day the other teams would be leaving.    Though, now that I think of it,  that could explain how the  others are on a later flight and couldn't get on the C/M flight.     hmmmm.....Also this scenario could still support the vidcaps…..Let's say C/M finish during the late afternoon/evening a day earlier than everyone (we'll call this day 1 and say they finished at 5pm for explanation sake). Based upon sunset it would be dark.   Twelve hours later at 5am they start the next leg and need to find a flight to Malaysia but they are unable to book a flight out of Warsaw for another day therefore allowing the rest of the teams time to catch up.    Meanwhile, the other teams have arrived in Warsaw and specifically the Cha's and BQs, finish close to sunset on that day (around 3pm on what we will call day 2). Therefore, while C/M have already booked their Malaysia flight, the others start up the leg at 3am the next morning, get to the Warsaw airport but  are unable to book the flight that C/M already booked on but get booked on the next flight.  Again that still leaves  U/J being the unlucky couple not making a flight out with everyone else.

So far, I am still leaning toward Scenario 1 above though I'm hoping for Scenario 2.

Post by: michael on March 28, 2007, 08:16:21 PM

I think you have it right with scenario 1, but I think the BQs might be getting their first because the sky looks more blue in their shot as opposed to the Chas shot, where it looks more yellow-y.

And we are all about spoilers here--there are no spoiler free zones in this section, so you are safe everywhere!

Very thoughtful analysis--I know the others will be better able than I can to comment on the times, shadows, and flights.  But I do know that this is the leg (Poland to Malaysia) that we believe will reflect Phil's comments about one team leaving more than 5 hours before he is free to go--so we think that there is quite a spread between the teams this time.

Please join in wherever!

Michael.....what leads me to believe that Danny and Oswald reach the pit stop before the BQ's is the lighting in the following pictures.

In the pictures of the BQ's there is no sunlight hitting the ground that is noticeable.  Therefore I would surmise that it is much closer to sunset when these were taken.


(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP7/00673-26-2007.jpg)

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP7/00703-26-2007.jpg)



In this picture of Danny and Oswald, you can see the sun hitting the grass therfore the sun was a little bit higher. 

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP7/00663-26-2007.jpg)


All this could be wrong and the angles the pictures are from or the quality not being as good could play a factor in how I am interrpreting them and I could be wrong.

AND, fwiw, I wouldn't be totally upset with a 2nd place finish, that's still a good place!

Knowing the F5 and knowing that T/I and the Guidos oulasted ROMBER does not take away from the fact that puddin's bootlist is batting 1000 as to its accuracy up to this point does it?

Twist it anyway you want Michael but you can't deny that no one knew the first 3 boot order and Romeo even posted that he only knew Romber went out before Ian/Teri and the Guidos but did not know the order.
Being in the final 3 is good ..they out lasted the best of the best  :elvis: and fwiw I would have much rather have had the BQ's win last season than the boring models *yawn*

Well, I guess we'll see!
I just still can't believe that we have a 100% accurate boot-list, it just seems so strange.

I wish there is some kind of big twist, but I don't like talking about this because I know it annoys you guys a lot that I like to pretend the list isn't accurate :lol:

But IF they win this will be me >  :jumpy: and this will be Puddin >  (:;)

Yes much thanks to Izad.

Also on the same Izad Malaysia Spoiler Thread, there was mention of someone overhearing that an "African American couple" were hours behind on a flight.

Thanks for the welcome, puddin.  I really love all the speculation, discussion and hard work that you guys put into each episode.  It's amazing!  My hats off to all of you.

As far as Michael being a big BQ fan, I've followed his posts at Sucks for quite awhile and am aware what a devoted fan he is.  I'm not a huge fan of theirs but I agree they are great racers.

Izad's picture are great and based upon the fact he keeps sharing little by little, I'm guessing he has much more to share but he's waiting for the right time.  That's only my opinion though.  I've known Izad for a few years and I know what a tease he can be.  :rotf:

Michael D, although I am a big Dustin/Kandice fan your statement that they "dominated" AR10 is a grandiose overstatement. They were one of 4 teams that were leading the race and their mistakes at critical times (missing the sign in Morocco and not finding the right way on Mt. Juic in Barcelona) caused their downfall.

Oh, I know! I can only imagine what kind of great outcome the season would have had, they most likley would have arrived first in that Morocco leg, and R/K would have been last, and marked for elim :(

Oh well, no use pondering on what could have been, when there is a great new season on air now!

I watched that video puddin posted in the media spoiler article thread thingy and it seems like bert thinks this season is really difficult (as in the challenges and stuff) as opposed to other seasons...hopefully this means that the tasks are going to begin getting much harder now.

Don't forget when looking at the vidcaps, we are talking about two days of things happening in Poland.
This is precisely why I've grabbed for asprin twice today.  :mornin:

Once after seeing the knight task is in Krakow & then again after reading Colby's well thought out scenarios. 

Random Questions:

Are tasks done in Warsaw or Krakow first?

Are C/M arriving at a pitstop or a TBC bathmat?

Is the Cha jumping in the boat at detour, a roadblock, a FF, or just the way to get to a pitstop?

Have we seen U/J in any Poland pics?

Did anyone else snicker in a non mutally exclusive manner....when upthread it was stated that they'd be rooting for the "queens" to finish ahead of the "guidos"?    :food:

Boot list spoils 'Race' results?

By JOHN POWELL -- Jam! Showbiz
   




"Amazing Race" host Phil Keoghan.

READER ALERT: THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS

It just barely began but is the 'Amazing Race' over already?

Although the finale is many weeks away, the results of "Amazing Race: All-Stars" may have been ruined by an Internet spoiler.

On January 9th, a user named "puddin" at the RealityFanForum message boards posted an 'Amazing Race All-Stars' boot list. A January 27th posting on the "Amazing Race" forum at the "Television Without Pity" reality series site reprinted the list which contained the exact order the "All-Star" teams will be eliminated. The list was posted by member "auntieb" but was originally sent to the forum operators at "Pity" by "a source close to the show."

"So since the "boot" list has been brought up, and since it now appears that the chances of it being accurate are very high, I will post it below," wrote "auntieb" in the forum before divulging the information.

With three episodes and three boots in the can, the list has been entirely accurate thus far. 
 

While reality shows like "Survivor" are the subject of numerous supposed boot lists each and every season, it is rare that one focusing on the "Amazing Race" is leaked. Information about the locations and the actual competitions are the norm though.

For those who just MUST know, a copy of the "Philimination List" is in-between the arrows below. To view it, highlight the area with your mouse.

even though we, well most of us anyways, minus me,  think the boot list is right, that article does not "confirm" it by any means.

Post by: michael on April 01, 2007, 06:11:59 PM

Post by: puddin on April 01, 2007, 06:30:59 PM
LOL ! Yeah what the hell is wrong with Phil!? How dare he not confirm the boot list   :lol3:
Speaking of the boot list...whatever happened to BoDog (http://www.bodog.com/sports-betting/tv-film-movie-props.jsp)? hmmmm..this is their response to me after I emailed them back on 3/9 on why the betting was taken off of BoDog after the list was made public.

We are actually aware of the list and have taken down the Amazing Race odds until it can be determine if the list is accurate or not.

That wasn't a TBC episode! Does this mean that because the TBC episode is going to be 1 hour one week, and 1 hour another week, we might get a 2 hour finale episode?!?
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on April 01, 2007, 10:06:02 PM

Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: michael on April 01, 2007, 10:08:23 PM
Well, that's true, but LETS Just say there is a TBC there can be:

April 8th - leg 9
April 15th - Leg 10A
April 22nd - Leg 10B
April 29th - Leg 11
May 6th - Leg 12/13
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*

Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: michael on April 01, 2007, 10:12:56 PM
Well, I just randomly placed the TBC on leg 10 to show a time line or something - Does anybody else feel that this episode felt a lot more like the Amazing Race then the other episodes this season?

Well, that's true, but LETS Just say there is a TBC there can be:

April 8th - leg 9
April 15th - Leg 10A
April 22nd - Leg 10B
April 29th - Leg 11
May 6th - Leg 12/13
So a possible timeline...

April 8th - Leg 9 - NEL (Poland -> Malaysia)
April 15th - Leg 10A - TBC (Malaysia -> Hong Kong)
April 22nd - Leg 10B - Uchenna/Joyce eliminated (Hong Kong -> Macau)
April 29th - Leg 11 - Oswald/Danny eliminated (Macau -> Guam)
May 6th - Leg 12/13 - (Guam -> Hawaii -> San Francisco)

There is a possibility of a NEL happening before a TBC ( like in TAR 8 ), so what you're proposing, Michael, could work out.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: Kogs on April 02, 2007, 06:50:22 AM
IIRC phil has called a tbc leg, a leg not 10a or 10b. there is still 13 episodes in the season lol
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: apskip on April 02, 2007, 06:56:27 AM
MICHAEL D, let's put all your wishful thinking in perspective. It is most likely that the rest of TAR11 goes like this:

April 8 Episode 9 Malaysia; I used to think this would be elimin. but now I think it's another NEL

April 15 Episode 10 Hong Kong; I used to think this would be NEL, but now I think it's TBC or elim.

April 22 Episode 11 Macau; this now looks like NEL

April 29 Episode 12 Guam; wwe know this is elim. to get F4 down to F3

May 6 Epsiode 13 Guam to Tokyo to Honolulu to San Francisco

The probability that there will be a two-hour finale is quite low. Please STOP harping on it! CBS is not listening to you or to me.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: georgiapeach on April 02, 2007, 08:48:28 AM
apskip, we still have 5 teams so we need one more elim to get it down to Final 4, somewhere either April 8, 15, 0r 23.

If that CBS clue relates to the Yield being used next week "One team is surprised"--do we think it would be likely to be next week? But an April 15 elim would keep it from being 2 in a row....

IIRC, we have no phortographic or other evidence of U/J in Hong Kong or Macao.

And Michael, it sucks, but I think apskip is right about the one hour finale.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: michael on April 02, 2007, 09:19:26 AM
What exactly is making you all say there is no TBC this season? Last season it didn't show up until leg 9. apskip, I'll harp on whatever I want to harp on   :angel:


It's called speculating. And I still think it's highly likely that we will have a TBC episode since we've had one every season since TAR6.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
Post by: michael on April 03, 2007, 09:44:03 AM
I guess there won't be a TBC episode this season, because wouldn't that all count as one leg. There isnt enough weeks left until may 6th for one leg to take 2 weeks, so I guess the schedule will be something like this:

4/8/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1109) - NEL - U/J
4/15/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1110)  - U/J gone
4/22/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1111) – NEL  - ??
4/29/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1112)  - Chas gone
5/6/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1113) – Finale

4/29/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1112)  - Chas gone
5/6/07 (Su.) 8:00 PM CBS (#1113) – Finale

What do you mean by TBC counting as one leg? TBC's are done over two legs. EP11&12 or EP 9&10 would be a good slot for the TBC.
U/J almost have to be saved EP9 because I can't see 4 teams racing for for 3legs straight unless of course U/J are eliminated EP9 then EP10 is either the TBC or NEL and the Cha's go out in Macau but we have a sighting of the Cha's in Guam doing a task so they must last untill EP12. Or this is all wrong and 2 of these legs are actually 1 leg and CBS pre-empts one of the remaining Sundays in the April schedule with some other show :D

roughly..and the dates are solid

EP9 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ( 12/10 ) izad has reason to believe theres one leg in Malaysia [ 5 teams left, U/J eliminated or TBC or NEL U/J marked w/30 minute penalty]
EP10 Hong Kong (12/12) [4 teams or 5 teams left, U/J eliminated ]
EP11 Macau (12/14) [ 4 teams left, TBC or NEL Cha's marked w/ 30 minute penalty ]
EP12 Yigo, Guam/Honolulu, HI (12/16) [final 4 Chas eliminated in Guam ]
EP13 Honolulu, HI to San Francisco, CA (12/16to 12/17) [ final 3 race to the finish ]

oh! my bad!

I always thought that a TBC leg  all counted as one leg, so like...if leg 9 was TBC, it would all be leg 9...I'm a very confusing fellow sometimes!

Post by: KingCrimson88 on April 03, 2007, 12:19:31 PM
If leg 9 is a TBC, and someone wants to call leg 10 as leg 9b, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. It's still 5 weeks left, and 5 seperate legs to go. I don't think I'll ever understand why people make such a big distinction between a NEL and a TBC. It's the same thing, with just no 12 hour pitstop in between in the TBC leg.

Post by: puddin on April 03, 2007, 01:06:16 PM
I'm leaning towards EP9 to be a NEL because the sightings put the teams in Malaysia on Dec 10th then we lose track of them on the 11th and the next sighting is the Hong Kong airport on Dec 12th.

I feel the need to say this now since I don't want to feel like I'm hiding anything from you guys since you guys rock

I'm not acting fake here or on sucks. I don't really like E/D being on all stars, I just don't feel the need to constantly say it over here since I know the majority of you guys are fans  :hearts:

I gave up on sucks when posters are becoming far too mean to the racers, I mean I don't like all of them but I can't imagine how some people could have such intense hatred on people they haven't even met before! People here are lot more nicer! :hearts:

See when they were on Season 9 the Pinky's & Eric as well as BJ & Tyler were the only teams that actually wrote to me and of course Joni  :luvya: & John did too but anyway...they were real to me not snotty like some of the other teams with Season10 being the snottiest, lol.

TAR7 - Rob and Amber,
TAR9 - The Double Dee's, then MOJO

TAR7  Debbi & Bianca
TAR8  New Orleans
TAR9  Hippies
TAR10  BQs
TAR11  BQs

And here is a little flash in the TAR pan for me:

I posted at TWoP that I needed to check some shadows at 12:15 pm at the Santa Monica Pier so that I could pin down the start time of TAR5.  I put it in the Dennis and Erica thread and went there.  Guess who rides up to me on bikes while I was measuring angles?

Dennis and Erica

and yeah, Flo and Zack were awesome, and with Freddie and Kendra, I actually liked them....their comment about Africa never really phased me as much as it did other people...It was probably culture shock. ha ha, I remember Freddy's "ONE OF YOU I'M GONNA BREAK IN HALF" thing.

My 2 cents  ;D

Season 1 - Nancy and Emily ( :'( so close to the Final 4)
Season 2 - Blake and Paige (she had the coolest Batman shirt)
Season 3 - John Vito and Jill (awesome couple!)
Season 4 - Millie and Chuck (yeah I know a lot of people didn't like them but man they were so dedicated)
Season 5 - Charla and Mirna (COMEDY!)
Season 6 - Don and Maryjean (they went out early, but they were so cool)
Season 7 - Meredith and Gretchen (funny names, loud woman, but nice and old)
Season 8 - GAGHAN FAMILY! (do I even need to explain my  :luvya:)
Season 9 - Fran and Barry (really competent as a team, probably the strongest old couple to run the race and got out on an unlucky break)
Season 10 - Dustin and Kandice (the F3 was poo poo without them)
Season 11 - Charla and Mirna (seriously, if they weren't in the race, it would be hella quiet/boring)

'Amazing Race' features my hometown  (http://www.jasonsalas.com/2007/02/amazing-race-features-my-hometown.html)
Consider it official. Guam is going to be featured in "The Amazing Race All-Stars" on one of my company's stations. I've fielded a couple of calls from some people who found out about this through various forums, message boards and the blogosphere - but I've been sworn to secrecy.

and some very pretty Guam pics at flickrs  (http://www.flickr.com/photos/latitude13/sets/86060/)

As the only spoiler by far for Guam tasks is the roadblock in AAFB, I hope they did the Detour down south. It's sparsely populated there, so not a lot of people would have noticed them. The Detour should have been something that relates with the local Chamorro culture.

As for landmarks, Two Lovers Point (http://www.twoloverspoint.com/) could have been a good Route Marker. Or one of the statues in Hagatña. Any beach would have been okay too. ;D

Hey, newbie here, but long-time lurker checking in to join the party!  :jam: Looking forward to spoilering/speculating with a fantastic team of RFF detectives – here’s a contribution of mine on Roadblocks…

One of the most enjoyable strategic aspects of the race for me is how teams choose to divide up Roadblocks, ever since the rule that no person can do more than 6 Roadblocks on the race was implemented in Season 6. With that in mind, I’ve done some stats and analysis…


Roadblocks by episode:

Boardroom Puzzle
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Oswald

Fish Farming
= Kandice, Mirna, Danielle, Danny

Find Team Letter
= Kandice, Mirna, Eric, Oswald

Who Smells a Rat?
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Oswald

Toss Rungu
= Dustin, Mirna, Danielle, Danny

Ride Rowboat (although this roadblock was not shown on TV, I rewatched the episode and looked out for the people wearing/holding lifevests)
= Kandice, Mirna, Eric, Danny

Knight in Armor
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Neither of the Chas because they took the fast-forward when intersected with Uchenna/Joyce

Part-Time Job
= Kandice, Mirna, Danielle, Danny

Roadblocks by team member:

Beauty Queens

Dustin:  Boardroom Puzzle, Who Smells a Rat, Toss Rungu, Knight in Armor = 4
Kandice: Fish Farming, Find Team Letter, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 4


Charla/Mirna

Charla: Boardroom Puzzle, Who Smells a Rat, Knight in Armor = 3
Mirna: Fish Farming, Find Team Letter, Toss Rungu, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 5

Eric/Danielle

Eric: Boardroom Puzzle, Find Team Letter, Who Smells a Rat, Ride Rowboat, Knight in Armor = 5
Danielle: Fish Farming, Toss Rungu, Part-Time Job = 3

Chas

Oswald: Boardroom Puzzle, Find Team Letter, Who Smells a Rat = 3
Danny: Fish Farming, Toss Rungu, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 4

My thoughts and predictions

* On the subject of physical roadblocks – whilst Danielle definitely has some justification for claiming that Eric pushes the physical roadblocks upon her (which I’m surprised about), in my opinion, the person who has performed the most “physical” roadblocks has been Danny of the Chas .

* Comments on individual teams:

Beauty Queens – my favorite team this season (Love that they bring such a competitive fire, that they rarely bicker with each other, and that they cause drama with the other teams)! They’ve done a solid job of splitting Roadblocks so far, but I think they would be fine regardless – both are very competent at performing tasks.

Charla/Mirna – my second-favorite team this season (Love the entertainment value they consistently bring), and I think arguably the most dangerously placed when it comes to Roadblocks, because of some limitations that Charla faces (which we saw in this episode with the bikes). If the 6/6 split still holds, Mirna can only perform 1 more roadblock and I have a feeling that the cousins may want to have her perform it on the final leg (when it’s likely to be most crucial).

Eric/Danielle – now that Eric has nearly maxed out his Roadblocks, Danielle will have to continue to step up, which should prove to be very interesting. I’m biased and think that either Dustin or Kandice could beat her any day, but I was pleasantly surprised at her performance in Malaysia on the bikes – she may well be able to compete with Charla/Mirna and potentially the Chas.

Chas – They have the added flexibility of having done one less Roadblock than the other teams (due to taking the Fast Forward with Uchenna/Joyce in Poland). To a slightly lesser extent than the Beauty Queens, I think they both would give a relatively similar performance at most types of Roadblock– in compiling the stats though, I was surprised that Danny had done the most physical Roadblocks of all racers, given that I personally feel Oswald is in better shape.

* Looking ahead…
- Assuming that there is a Roadblock on the final episode (either in Hawaii or San Francisco), there are 4 roadblocks remaining.
- It’s likely that the Roadblock in Guam will take place at the military base (thanks to sightings?)
- I have a feeling that the Roadblock in Macau will be the Sky Jump (from what’ve I heard, a combination of bungee-jumping/sky-diving?!)

That’s all for now folks, let me know what you think!

Ooh, and what do people think of this post from Sucks?

Welcome TSC!  :welcome:

Yeah, like you, I fear for Charla/Mirna because of the 6 Roadblock rule. Charla has to do 3 of the last four, and I hope they're not that physical. Skyjumping roadblock in Macau, you say? Care to elaborate? I've never heard of that yet.

Has anyone commented on this picture of Oswald/Danny yet? For some reason, I think it's from Guam. And I think it's because they're looking back on their experiences and their life as a whole, as it was their last leg. Anyways, if it's not from Guam, it could be in Hong Kong or Macau, whichever is not the TBC. That other pic with Eric/Danielle confessional at night doesn't look Guam to me at all.

Thank you hakushu!  ;D

I found out  about the Sky Jump in Macau through this blog entry:

http://www.johnnyjet.com/debbiec/DebbieCMacau2006.html

written by Debbie of TAR7 coincidentally! I just have a gut instinct that this task will be featured on the Macau leg (perhaps not necessarily as a Roadblock though) - it's very much the kind of height-based, adrenaline-pumping task that hasn't yet made an appearance on the Race so far...

Quote
Has anyone commented on this picture of Oswald/Danny yet? For some reason, I think it's from Guam

I agree with you - both Hong Kong and Macau are so urbanized that I don't think they would go to a rural locale for the Pit Stops (and the probability's reduced even further because either Hong Kong or Macau is likely to be the TBC leg, which would mean a lack of confessionals.

In response to your comments about Danielle and Eric.  I don't think the teams know exactly what the roadblocks are so I don't think he intentionally gives her the difficult tasks but as luck would have it... she has had to do the harder tasks.  He also seemed to enjoy watching her bust her ass last night..and I thought it was pretty funny!  She really had to work hard in that task,  she was pushing the bike most of the time because she had a flat tire.  She is a very strong girl!
Also, I think that if he came down to Danielle, Dustin and Kandace in a physical task race... I would bet my money on Danielle.  That girl is diesel.

 From what I overheard, at first Malaysia supposed to be NEL. So think about Uchenna and Joyce helped by NEL for the second time. But I guess, because they were so lagging behind they decided to eliminate them. So next episode would be NEL, I would expect that.

 I guess sometimes they have to change it. Like another case of "12 hours mandatory rest period". They reached the pitstop in KL on Sunday. But they left to another destination (HK or Macau Im not sure) only on Tuesday. So its not 12 hours anymore. Im sure after editing they will tell that it is 12 hours.

TSC, Your analysis is excellent but you are making a critical assumption that I would not make. The Rowboat Boadblock in Warsaw was not visible to the viewing public. Sure, it happened to the racers but since it was not shown on CBS I suspect that it will not count as an official Roadblock. That will throw off all your counts and conclusions. In particular, since Mrina did it it would make the current count Mirna 4, Charla 3.

Remember I wasn't at End City, I didn't witness who won! But the boot list has been 100% acurate so far so we shall see.


Conf from EP10:

Oswald: Danny & I have gone through 13 years of ups and downs but I think ultimately you know its how your result of disagreements at the end that sets the strength of the relationship.

That will throw off all your counts and conclusions.

But at the time of running the race, C/M don't know a roadblock will be cut from what is eventually part of the show, so I'd think they'd have to adhere to the limits that are in place. Although in the strange world they seem to live in, they may have a different interpretation.

I heard that online betting sites in London stopped taking bets because of Eric & Danielle's spoiler to win but am having a hard time finding evidence online ..I'm just not searching the right thing. Any ideas?

whilst Danielle definitely has some justification for claiming that Eric pushes the physical roadblocks upon her (which I’m surprised about)

Eric/Danielle – now that Eric has nearly maxed out his Roadblocks, Danielle will have to continue to step up, which should prove to be very interesting. I’m biased and think that either Dustin or Kandice could beat her any day, but I was pleasantly surprised at her performance in Malaysia on the bikes – she may well be able to compete with Charla/Mirna and potentially the Chas.


Well out of the three, we have no idea, really how well or poorly anyone did on the Rungu toss (aparently Ian did fairly well), but beyond that no clue.  We do know she took over on hour at the fish detour and some teams took about 15 minutes.

As to the 6/6 rule, I swear that I remember some time last season it being said with 7 instead, but will have to recheck, but that season had 13 roadblocks, so they would have to have one capable of doing 7.  So I would assume it still 6, unless the edited part of the first leg (the morning part in town before driving to the ranch included a roadblock), anyone know?

And Eric hasn't been pushing the tasks on to Danielle.  In fact three of those non physical tasks that Eric ended up doing were because Danielle wanted him to (Hated, rats, thought he would be luckier, better at puzzles), so you can't blame Eric.  Even on legs like this weeks, he only asks if Danielle wants to do it.  No other pressure.  Unlike say Charla (not being able), or Oswald asking Danny to do it.

Nor does she say he pushes her to do them, she only comments about how it works out.

I would also assume that all teams thought the rowing would be a physical task.  And teams did complain (well at least a coupe of them) how difficult it was to wear the armor which teams would also wassume to be a physical tasks (authetic armor can way between 20-70 pds so it can be physically difficult not to mention just physically ackward for teams unfamiliar with it. And in that tasks we can clearly hear Danielle say to Eric that he is doing it, and he says okay I'll do it. 

The only time we see him tell her to do a roadblock is the fish breeding task.

And welcome to the Madhouse.

Strange-o.

I like Danielle so much more than Eric after last night's episode. He has a pretty filthy mouth and repeated "dirty hooker" about 4 times.

Anyway, go BQs and C/M!

My 2 favourite teams are going to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Also - does it look like Chachachas are doing a Fast Forward (with their car flippy thing)!? They are allowed to do another one since it doesn't count if you do it with the Intersection the first time.

Just my 2 cents  :jumpy:

Rewatching some of the episodes, I do think that I might have incorrectly assessed Eric/Danielle when it comes to Roadblock performances (I think it's because they're my least favorite team right now!) - I will update my original post as the episodes continue to air, and potentially cast them in a better light!

Post by: gingerman28 on April 10, 2007, 10:18:05 AM
I'm just going to throw this out for everyone to ponder and tell me that I'm nuts.

But think about this:

The sightings in Guam actually were of the three eliminated teams on a flight back to Honolulu: Uchenna and Joyce; Bill and Joe; and Danny and Oswald.  And there was talk of the teams doing tasks at Anderson AFB but no pix (security and all that restricts access).

And Joe and Bill in their insider interview talk about them being sent out as the first dummy teams.

So could it be that the whole Guam bit is a great misdirection on the part of TPTB?

And that the three remaining teams actually go direct  from Hong Kong/Macao through Narita Tokyo on to the wrecked ship and helicopter lift in Hawaii?

No! I think this is where our nice helicopter comes into play with teams doing some kind of an airlift...

Amazing Race Visits Guam
PNC Staff Reporter 16.DEC.06
10:22am Look out for a Guam stop in next season’s “The Amazing Race”. Guam was paid a visit by competitors of that reality TV show.
Guam was apparently a stop, and competitors were on Andersen Air Force, being filmed. The Pacific News Center contacted Air Force Officials, who confirmed the film crew was on base, but could not comment any further.

Well you might want to rethink that.  People tend to judge Eric hasrhly for his language, when in fact his dirty pirate hooker comments is just a quote from Anchorman.  Nor is it given in anger.  Now Danielle admits (several times in clips and episoe) that she is pissed at the BQ's calls them bitches multiple times, says they are fake and shady, ect.  One even talks about how  she has the mouth of a sailor and the worse tempor.

His are just comments and he makes comments like them to both friend and foe, both male and female(he talked to Jeremy like that, hell check his my space with is friends).  It just how he talks.  Notive that even if you think he comments were in anger (which again rewatch and watch his body language and tone, and compare it to Danielle's, watch him laughing, people usually don't when they are mad, watch them check in and Phil asks if they're upset, you see him smile and point to Danielle, and you see Danielle say oh she's pissed.

Also for all his language thats colorful, he never uses the no question insultive form of that langauge.

He uses Boobs, not the more graphic.  Hell thats what my mom's Ladies Church group nicknamed her and her friend and called them that for 12 years(boob and boobs).

Hookers, not the whores if it was an insult (and not a pop culture quote).

His comments to the Guido's queens, nervous nellies, ect, not the fag faggot, queer, homo, ect that is generally used more for insults then as just an adjective.

knucklehead, humptydumbass, ect.

I agree with all of your comments (opinions) mswood.  His humor is ribald (love that word) but not vindictive.  The boy is a good racer & has fun during down times.  :horsey:

& even if Team Guido was NOT gay....Eric's discription of them acting like "nervous nellies" at the Kiliminjaro Airport  :nut: ....was 100% accurate (imo).

  SPOILER - All Stars sighted in a stop on the All Stars Race
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Got this email from a friend of a friend... enjoy!!!

If any of you are fans of the CBS hit reality show "The Amazing Race,"
you will be pleasantly surprised to know that GUAM will be one of the
featured stops in next season's show. For those of you who are not or
who have no clue as to what I'm talking about, I'll tell my groupie
story anyway.

Last Wednesday, we were given a heads-up by airport security that the
show was expected on-island, and although they weren't sure which
airline they were going to use they wanted to ensure there were no
issues with filming. Thursday came and went, and we didn't see anyone.
My co-worker Edgar and I met up with the producer and two cameramen on
Friday, and they told us that Phil (the host) was over at CO's counter
checking on for the flight to Nagoya/Honolulu. We chatted with the
staff and then, like a bunch of groupies, we went looking for Phil. We
ended up missing him. Edgar and I got separated somehow, but I bumped
into Joyce and Uchenna (the couple from Houston who won about two
seasons ago ) in the departure lobby. Joyce talked about having to
shave all of her hair in that one episode. It's growing back slowly,
and the short hairstyle looks good on her. I had a pretty long chat
with them and two other male winners (I don't recall their names, but
they said they were known as "the jerks" in their season). They were
all very nice and were only too happy to talk about their experiences on
the show. When I finally said goodbye and was making my way back to the
office, I met up with Uchenna again. He gave me a hug and a kiss and
told me to give my regards to John (I told them earlier that John was
also a huge fan of the show and that he is currently deployed to Iraq).
Ladies, he is definitely attractive and is quite the charmer!

Anyhow, that's part of the season's "surprise" (having previous winners
on the show). Virtually all of the footage was filmed up at Andersen
Air Force Base, although they will show some island scenes. The
cameramen we met said that one lady in a van drove up to them at the
base. She's a huge fan of the show, too, and pleaded with them to get
her picture taken with the clue box. They thought it was funny.

We were told that the contestants were going to leave the next afternoon
(Saturday) on our flight to Narita and then Honolulu. Luckily, these
were one-way normal tickets (the Airport Ticket Office is closed on
weekends), and it's a fairly easy process if a check-in agent has a
little bit of ticketing experience. One of our veteran Operations
supervisors (Glenn Weber) said that rookie Operations supervisor Hank
was going to be on duty that day. We nearly fell off our chairs
laughing. Turns out Glenn wanted to have fun with us and that he was
the one that was going to work that day. He later said that Saturday
was quite hectic, and there were some pretty demanding blonde
contestants. When they left the counter, the other contestants were
making fun of them. Glenn was the person who issued virtually all of
their tickets, so he's sure to be seen on national TV.

Anyhow, thanks for indulging me. Remember to look out for Northwest's
very own Glenn Weber and GUAM on the next season of "The Amazing Race!"

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families!

Just a random thought:

Oswald/Danny are in fourth place on episode 9. And then everyone thinks that the next two legs are a NEL and an uber-leg with an elimination afterwards (Well, that's what I think anyways. Others are thinking the opposite [TBC-NEL-Elim]). Anyways, much like TAR2, Oswald/Danny finished 4th three times in a row, getting eliminated in the third time. Will the same thing happen this time around? ???

Did you see the Innertube video where they talked about really, really wanting to do better than their previous 4th place finish--that that was their major goal. Knowing what we know, I got all teary eyed!  :'(

Guess what team??

We may not have missed out on "Phil-pper" the dolphin after all!

Turns out Lanai is known for something called Spinner Dolphins--big attraction there!

Quote
Spinner dolphins are named for their fascinating habit of leaping into the air, and
 rotating (or "spinning") up to fuor times around on their longitudinal axis.  Researchers  don't know why these dolphins spin, but theorize that it may be a way to communicate   their location within a school to each other.

Post by: hakushu8 on April 14, 2007, 04:42:34 AM
Just wanted to share this. It might help in a couple of weeks.  :crazy

So I was in the Yigo area a couple of hours ago and decided to drive to AAFB. It took me only about 10 minutes to reach the entrance of the air base. So from where I live, which is in Dededo, it's about a 20-25 minute drive. Oh, but if you really follow the speed limit, it'll be like a 30 minute drive.  :lol:

When I reached the entrance, sadly I couldn't proceed in because I'm not allowed. Only people allowed in the Air Base are military personnel, their families, and guests as long as they're sponsored by the military people. Though I've learned from a friend that if you're a big group and you want to tour the place, or use the place for some reason, you could arrange something with the air base administration. Most probably this is how TAR and WRP were allowed in the air base. Oh, but I did see a Visitor's Centre outside the entrance. Might check that out sometime next week; hopefully non-visitors can check it out, and that there are pictures of the place. I just want to find out if the Chas confessional from Leg 9 on their 13 years of friendship is from somewhere inside.

Oh, and since public transportation here on Guam is limited to buses and taxis, I wouldn't think the teams would use those when they did tasks here. The buses aren't allowed to come in, and I don't think the taxis either. Plus the taxis mostly service the hotels and central Guam. So expect them to be driving their own cars. Hopefully they used convertibles, because I remember that day was very sunny.

And a picture just for reference on where AAFB is. It's in the northeastern part of the island.

Peach can you believe we are going to be 10 episodes in  and I don't think we are going ot get any sky activites for the whole season.  No bungee jumping, no hang gliding, no repelling, no pushing Mirna out of a plane while the others skydive.

Its like its season 7 all over again (great cast, poor tasks).  God I hope they surprise us before its over.

AAFB has, as I have said before, had very strict security rules.  But if you are with the USG or have friends on the base, one of the best beaches in Guam is on the base at Pati Point.

Also if security is so tight, and the Detour tasks take place on the base, how did our visiting business man get to observe the teams doing the tasks?

From the episode thread, since my reply is a bit spoilerific...

Quote
I suspect that D/O get yielded, because (i may be wrong..i need to watch the preview again) but I think phil said something about teams reach a shocking decision on who to yield..or something like that...

That's what I'm thinking as well, and sadly, could be what will do them in.  Also, it's probably the only way that Eric/Danielle survive should they once again fail to finish in first place.  Of course, D/O might also get lost, so that's that.

Another NEL makes no sense because or EDEES penalty so it has to be a TBC right?


Conf from EP10:

Oswald: Danny & I have gone through 13 years of ups and downs but I think ultimately you know its how your result of disagreements at the end that sets the strength of the relationship.


we can see another nell instead of a tbc thats what can do in the cha's

Awww.  Poor Eric/Danielle.  Dustin/Kandice and the Cha may feel bad, but not as bad as how they'll feel during the next two weeks!

From EP11

we've seen confessionals with this background in previous episodes..is it Hawaii? does anyone want to help me dig?

Eric talks about how mad he was that they were Yielded by Oswald & Danny.
" I was so angry that Danny & Oswald Yielded us...we started out trusting everybody for the most part a little bit then you see things come out in people and so like I have no respect for Danny & Oswald anymore.."

Puddin - I was surprised when I saw eric talking about the yield there because I thought that was from Malaysia...maybe they did something tricky with the editing

I wonder about that too--could the D/O comments be edited in?

Because I have that same pic of E/D in my file labelled Carcosa (KL Pitstop) drawing room too and they were there extra time. I know we had something confessionally from E/D there too.

Another view: sofa and lamps match altho curtains do not...

Yup it was seen in Malaysia...( now its darker )

Eric: Danielle and I have our little tiffs here and there..when you spend a lot of time with them thats the person you pick on..thats the person you argue with..and (in ?) relationships you can get past them with..were just taking it step by step ..we have potential for growth in the future.

This really isn't germane to spoilers, but I think it will provide a chuckle for a few folks who will see it here and not in Episode 12 thread where it belongs. Phil at the beginning of ep. 12 as Dustin/Kandice are leaving the mat in Macao voiceovers that they will fly to Guam "over 7500 miles away." Well, I knew that was rubbish but I was too busy to track down the real details. They are quite simple:

Direct Distance Kong Kong to Guam 2094 miles

Distance Kong Kong to Tokyo         1793 miles
Distance Tokyo to Guam                1564 miles
TOTAL HKG TO NRT TO GUM         3357 miles

Any way you calculate it, you are either 4143 or 5406 miles short of 7500 miles. I have sent Betran van Munster a letter informing him of this mistake and asking him to be more careful on geographic matters (he did the same on the distance South Pole to South America, a "few hundred miles"). I can do no less and maintain the standard of the title below my avatar!

But you forgot the distance from Macao to Hong Kong.  Maybe TPTB calculated that distance to be 4143 miles!!!

Just typical of some of the self-serving boasting TAR has been doing lately.  Which together with the constant bunch-ups that TPTB insist on that make TAR much less of a race in each ensuing series and contributes to the slowly eroding audience.  This could spell trouble for a TAR 12 in the coming season.

This isn't really a spoiler, espcially since we are now 3 weeks past the finale. This is a reference back to Episode 5, Mozambique, where there were the amazing rats. Those rats are going to be on FRONTLINE/WORLD I believe nationwide on PBS Tuesday June 26 at 9pm as one of 3 segments. This segment is "from Mozambique, where trained rats save lives discovering landmines." In the New York metro area, it's on Channel 13.
