I see a visit to Buenos Aires and two legs in Australia too. They could easily swing into Indonesia from Australia... :duno:
I highly doubt it that they'll go to Australia.
I'm just gearing into the Philippines because of the Christmas spirit that envelopes most of the towns, something incomparable to any place in the world (believe me...) and for a new country, Laos.
Wow, have the teams even landed in Chile already?

Nope.

I feel that a huge part of Europe or the entire Europe will be forsaken this season.
Scotland to Adelaide was a bit much I did think. Oh well we can hope!
Too early to tell...but could a Southern-Hemisphere-only season be a possibility?

Just a week ago somebody wanted that to happen... :funny:
Don't think so.. I still think TAR without India is not TAR. :funny:

Speculation: Where you think the Race will go this season.I'll answer to your question, Caelestor.
Wishlist: Where you would wish the Race would go this season.
Most of you have been here long enough to know that we loathe wish-lists in the spoiler threads. Like I wrote, there are plenty of wish-lists/destination topics already in the discussion thread. This topic is to speculate on the sightings not fantasy game wish-lists okay? for example "I hope they come to Philippines!!!" o_OIf I see one more wishlist anywhere but the wishlists/destination threads that person will be banned!

Yeah, I think a speculation and a wish-list is almost the same as one, can the admins expound on what we can write or not so that we won't see our messages suddenly deleted or "knocked off?"

So, is there any room to speculate while we know where the teams are exactly right now?

Not much specifically, only the general nature of the route (and perhaps maybe a potential meat-eating roadblock).
They have already landed..........about 2+ hours ago........
They should be getting really close to the castle in Vina de Mar.........I have looked for a webcam for that area, but cant find one.

amazingrace34 ¡Vi la natación de Jordania en la raza asombrosa! .
Which means I saw Jordan swimming on the Amazing Race.
Dude that's the same person as fanoftv1123...
Hi guys my first post!
I live in Vina Del Mar Jeff and Jordan were the last team to arrive at the castle.
And there was a roadblock swimming task were Jordan was the one who did it for her team.
With Jordan/Jeff on TAR we can expect a lot of fake spoilers I would say. :meow:
My thoughts exactly. I knew as soon word got out that the J's are racing, we and probably everywhere else would be bombarded with newbies and fake info.
Puddin and Peach are probably having migranes dealing with all of this.

I'd suggest Diladud myself, at least they'd be happy while deaing with this.
Good for you for booting that person. That so wasn't cool.
Honestly, I'm not taking anything as true unless it's a very broadstrokes tweet like the JeJo one just posted, about directions or actual pictures are sent.
And seriously, how do you find the tweets with that info?
Come on...that translation wasn't even close :funny::funny: :funny:From Twitter

Are you retarded? you think the same person who "saw" the teams at LAX yesterday now is in Chile and saw Jordan swimming? :lol:
If you are going to send out fake spoilers at least make it believable.

shloky: amazing race didnt see twins or asians. theyre going to chile by way of dwf or dulles or stl. gate is stacked
We'd love it if you want to try!!"Brent, I found this in the bookstore right here at LAX! Do you think it will have anything we can use on the race, such as maps? Personally, and this goes for me, too, I think we, as Americans, should put our best faces forward as we race around the world, and having maps is something that good Americans, such as us, do."
I am one of the BB11 fans and Jeff and Jordan are the most entertaining couple in Reality TV in years. In addition to winning everything on BB11 ($525,000 between them), they were named the Reality TV Couple of the Year recently. In case you don't know them, go on YOUTUBE and look at their videos and tributes. They are really a couple in a serious relationship. Some people say they are dumb, especially Jordan. Believe me, they are not. Maybe unsophisticated and naive, but not dumb. I think you will enjoy them and their give and take, and if they let them be themselves, they will go a long way. They are nice people. You'll see. I am going to follow them along with you, as will their thousand of fans.Right on...they have large prayer chain too. they're the kind you can watch over and over. They brought me laughs, love and memories. :flirt:

eta: Last one in this thread. I promise.
Thanks. I hope it helps. I know there are people that tweeted him to see what the teams looked like but no response as of yet. Would you think that this would mean they are on their second leg since this was earlier this morning?
Would think so! :tup:
I can't recall too many of the legs spent in Chile over past seasons, but does anyone remember any tasks that may be Switchback-able in this country?
]Is there any new updates of anything,this is monday.11-30-09???
Anyone hear anything yet? There must be alot of people out there,in other countries, or even our country ,connected to the amazing race?
#16 should be in the 2nd destination by now,for sure?
Hope J&J are still hanging in!!!
I'm wondering if one of the mompreneurs (the first one in the pick, the longer and culier hair) is Gina Stern? I need someone who can confirm the faces for me. Pictures soon (no hotlinking!), once someone has confirmed/declined.
YY you have a message in your messages, please read.
I would love for them to go to Brazil and do a Switchback of the dog walking from Season 5. IIRC, that killed the last Big Brother contestant on the race.omg :lol: :lol: :lol: :yess: :yess:

I'd love for a tweet from someone who said they helped a team from The Amazing Race who said they were Gucci for doing so. ;)

graytex, that was an OK task, but:
1. it was a DETOUR Perro or Tango and
2. It was in Buenos Aires where dog walking is a common event, not anywhere in Brazil
ROADBLOCKS in Brazil, which I don't think are close to the standard for Switchbacks, were:
AR13, ep. 2 - In Caucaia, one team member must find the name of their next destination on an advertisement painted on the wall of the park.
AR9, ep. 2 - In Sao Paulo, teams had to climb one of three stairwells 400 feet (120 m) on a fire escape of the Edificio Copan. Once on the top, their arrival order deteremines when they get to put on a harness and rappel down the building.
AR2, ep. 2 - In Foz do Iguacu, Parque Nacional do Iguaçu leaving from Macuco Safari Dock, take speedboat into Iguaçu Falls and spot the flag at the top.
I wonder if she'll be able to locate LAX on a map:funny:
Our Amazing Race members and detectives know very well the best evidence is photo evidence and if you build it they will come. ;D :tup:
However, it's about 250 miles from Viña del Mar to Algarrobo where the pool is located (or 290 miles from Santiago), so I think it's only a possible destination if they do a second leg in Chile.

Okay, this doesn't make sense though. At 4:34 a.m. on 11/30 the guy said he saw J/J in red shirts. But there was a tweet at 5:06 p.m. on 11/29 from Melzaroo who said he got asked for directions from J/J, and they were wearing baby blue and black.
As we all know, the pit stops are 12 hours long. So let's say J/J were headed to the pit stop when Melzaroo saw them. Let's say that they got there and weren't eliminated. Even if it was shortly after Melzaroo's tweet that wouldn't leave enough time for a 12 hour pit stop before the 4:34 a.m. tweet having them wearing red, as he said in a later tweet.
Something doesn't add up for me.

People don't always tweet immediately...sometimes it is hours later...so times are not ever reliable unless they say "right now' or "an hour ago"
tweet time, response time doesn't matter...what matters is the time they saw whatever.
You have to ask the right questions!
Catlin Upton has brown hair now,Jordan has blonde hair.

remver seasonn 6 had take the subway to the airport
Looking at the pit stop, it suddenly came to me that when a team arrives there, it doesn't look like a wide open space because of cameras shooting both Phil and the teams... LOL!
Phil looks like he's smiling more than frowning in the photo. Possibly just avoiding elimination? *wishful thinking...*
Also, I'm having trouble aligning the two photos. It looks like they moved the mat -- maybe to catch better sunlight as the day progressed? Check out where the benches are positioned in relation to the mat, and also the silver sign.

The Amazing Race leaves Chile and goes to Bariloche, Argentina
http://bit.ly/50jTdu
yes I read that the other day. But here is the thing. The newspaper/blogger isnt following them. This is CBS and TAR we are talking about. When have you know CBS or TAR to go up to a reporter and tell them "hey this is were we are going, leak it to the world." I highly doubt the reporter camped there for 12 hours till early AM to see what the racers got as a clue. So they werent "spotted" anywhere, they were assumed to go somewhere. So they could be in Tembukto for all we know.
this past Sunday we stumbled upon the taping of what I believe to have been the French, or possibly Portugese, version of the reality TV show “The Amazing Race”.
There was something Amazing Race like being filmed in Buenos Aires (http://www.flickr.com/photos/69328013@N00/4155707947/in/set-72157622902830744/) FYI on Nov 29th.
Maybe the Peking express?
or maybe not (http://picasaweb.google.com/dannyjwarner/ChileNovember7thTo22nd2009#5409668235701529026) :D
With the present route map, can we speculate that the race could or would go back to Mother Africa, and possibly (again) have a "Europeless" race course, after 13 seasons?Seems to be following Season 11's route. No Europe though would be a welcomed change.

I am going up to Whistler in a week and will ask around for any rumors of them coming there. Filming should be around a week away if they arrive on the way home and stick to a three week race. Is World Race Productions the name they still use on permits?I'm jealous!
Last photographic evidence was on Dec 1 at pit stop in Porto Varas, Chile. Newspaper reports of travel from there to Bariloche, Ar. Today, Dec 7th, we have reports of TAR crew and flags at the international airport in Ascunion, Paraguay. Also reports from Bariloche that TAR would be going to Germany.
Estimate a pit stop in Bariloche on Dec 3 with possible 36 hour version to Dec 5th.....so where have then been since Dec 5th? Are they arriving in Paraguay or leaving on Dec 7th?
If they are arriving in Ascunion today, then we have a leg somewhere between Bariloche and Ascunion. If they are leaving Paraguay, then time of Dec 5th to Dec 7th is probably a leg in Paraguay. So maybe they are flying to Germany today, per the Bariloche posting.
Where did I miss the Bariloche to Germany reports?
Where did I miss the Bariloche to Germany reports?
The Bariloche leg, I believe, took place on 3 Dec. That means that Asuncion, if it takes place today, cannot be Leg 4. If confirmed, it most likely would be the fifth leg. Speculation: fourth leg in Buenos Aires then?
Agreeing with DrRox on the flight Amy was on. If she was in the Asuncion airport headed to Uruguay seven hours ago (it is now 2.30pm in Asuncion), the flight she was taking was probably PU 706 to Montevideo, departing at 9.20am. Asuncion Intl only has one concourse for arriving and departing flights, so it is entirely possible that the crew was waiting for arrivals while Amy was leaving.

5 legs in South America? They must be making up for not going there in a while...
It looks like we won't be seeing much of Europe and/or Asia this season. Africa/Australia ftw!
From what we currently have in the way of tweets, etc the course they gave was correct, but wikipedia is a bit anal retentive about information without hard evidence. On the discussion page, our very own Peach pops up as a source for something, along with the phrase "She very rarely gets it wrong"
But I digress.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is only one other continent visited this season. The course continues to get shorter and shorter.

or it could be very similar to TAR 12
have a whole bunch of legs in one general area, and then for the last little bit speed their way around the world (Legs 1-7 Europe/Africa, Leg 8 India, Leg 9-10 East Asia, Leg 11 back in U.S.)
this one could go: Leg 1-5 South America, Leg 6 Africa, Leg 7-9 Europe, Leg 10-12 Asia/Australia? Leg 13 back in U.S. (kind of wishful thinking on the whole going back to 13 legs thing...)

What about a TBC leg inlcuding Bariloche and Buenos Aires with a 36 hour pitstop before Paraguay? Just an idea?!
ETA: I can't remember, where did the Buenos Aires info come from?

I took a look at flights from Bariloche to Asuncion (on Dec 21st, but I think it would be similar to today) and it looks like there is one short and reasonable option daily. There's a flight that leaves at 2:25 PM and arrives at 9:35 PM after stops in Buenos Aires and Montevideo, Uruguay. Other options take 17 to 22 hours. If the leg in Bariloche ended too late for Phil to catch the 2:25 PM flight, I think they would hold Phil for the flight the next afternoon rather than have him fly for almost 24 hours (especially if the teams can catch the 8 hour flight). That would force them to hold the team for the afternoon after that. That would mean a nearly 48 hour pit stop.
It might be possible that they had a leg in Buenos Aires, but they would still have the issue of only a couple of flights a day out of Bariloche and having a lengthy pit stop to let Phil get there in advance of the teams. Unless we get reports of teams moving through Buenos Aires doing tasks, I'd be inclined to think they were seen at the airport waiting for connecting flights.
I'm thinking back to the list of purported leg locations in the removed Wikipedia article for TAR 16. It's still there if you look in the history of revisions:
* Leg 1 United States → Chile
* Leg 2 Chile
* Leg 3 Chile → Paraguay
* Leg 4 Paraguay → South Africa
* Leg 5 South Africa → Angola
* Leg 6 Angola → Spain
* Leg 7 Spain → Portugal
* Leg 8 Portugal
* Leg 9 Portugal → Belarus
* Leg 10 Belarus → Sri Lanka
* Leg 11 Sri Lanka → People's Republic of China
* Leg 12 People's Republic of China → Canada → United States
I discounted it when I first saw it because I thought it was unlikely they would go to Sri Lanka due to the terrorism issues with the Tamil rebels. However, if you grant that Bariloche is almost in Chile and that they've apparently gone to Paraguay, I'm a little more intrigued. If they go to South Africa next, then I'll really be intrigued. I'd be interested in asking Wikipedia user Masem where he got this list of countries from, but it'll have to wait until later if I'm to do it.

The timeline suggests that even if the Paraguay sightings are legit, there would have to be a leg between Bariloche and Asuncion. Masem's probably just pulling something out of thin air.

I know. The amount of meaningless information on there is incredible. I'm doing an assignment right now based on creating, writing, and editing a page and from this, its become really easy to figure out what on there is true and what isn't even close.
thank you for the free internet asu...
Quotethank you for the free internet asu...
Can someone check if there is indeed free internet at Asuncion Intl Airport?
The Paraguay Civil Aviation Authority website is disappointing, to say the least...
According to atlarge dot com, and a search of the airport name, there is internet and wifi access at the airport. It doesn't say if it's free or not.
Most wifi providers at airports are usually private companies that charge a huge amount of money to navigate *cough*15€/15 minutes*cough* but most of the times if you find a McDonald's it's like finding gold.According to atlarge dot com, and a search of the airport name, there is internet and wifi access at the airport. It doesn't say if it's free or not.
You'd think wifi access would be free at an airport, but then again a bottle of water costs $8978970987 at an airport.
I hope it's true, but I very much doubt the Paraguay leg is legit -- even ignoring the time gap, the numerous South America seem to turn up a bit wrt criticism of TAR7 and TAR:AS (both of which only had four legs). They'd be out of their mind to go for five. I'd say Bariloche to Germany makes more sense. After all, we went Bariloche to Russia in TAR5.
If Germany does turn out to be true, I hope to God, Allah, Buddha, and the assorted Hindu deities they're probably going to base a task around in the next visit to India that we stay in the north of the country this time. I'd prefer Hamburg out of all the main choices, but Frankfurt and Berlin would both be preferable to yet another Munich visit.
My only problem with Diureticalorder's tweet is that the first and only Tweet was in April and then nothing. Then all of a sudden. desided to tweet again and the third tweet is about TAR. What you guys think?

Also, they say they hate reality television. And never watch it. So how did they know that TAR's flags are red and yellow?
But even if they are telling the truth, we still don't know for sure that it's TAR-related. They said that they didn't actually see any teams. It also doesn't fit in with the timeline of the show to spend this much time in South America. Either there's 5 or so legs in South America or they're spending a LOT of time on legs 3 and 4.
Which is why I'm more apt to believe the Germany route. The article that mentioned it seems to come from a legitimate newspaper in Bariloche. And the way it was written, they were saying that Germany was where they went when they left Bariloche (so it would've been Leg 4). So I don't think both the Germany and Paraguay info can be right.
She never saw the flags, someone she talked to in BA that described decals on a fleet of cars and TAR All Stars spent 4 legs in South America.
also mari just spoke to uno porteno who saw a bunch of hoopties lined up outside w/ red/yellow stickers. deffo the amazing race

She said:Quotealso mari just spoke to uno porteno who saw a bunch of hoopties lined up outside w/ red/yellow stickers. deffo the amazing race
How would she know that red/yellow stickers meant Amazing Race if she's never seen the show?
my friend spoke to an older man from BA about what was up. he saw crappy #ed cars lined up with decals(?)-lost in translation
Are you looking to argue kyla? When directly questioned she replied:
Is its fake we'll know sooner or later okay? I'm hoping for photo evidence so we'll see how it pans out or not.
I realize a lot of people don't like the idea of them spending so much time in one place. But, since they did it in TAR 7 with Rob/Amber's first season, it's definitely possible. Just because you don't want something to be true doesn't mean that it isn't. :duno:

Just wanted to clarify that I was responding to those questioning whether they were really in Paraguay or not. I know that most people know that it is definitely possible that the Paraguay information is correct. :tup:
I'm wondering...Here's the LINK (http://www.anbariloche.com.ar/noticia.php?nota=11904)and the translation:
did the paper actually say that Germany was the NEXT location?
or just that they'll be heading to Germany later on?
a vague statement like "going to Germany after Bariloche" could easily mean that Germany will host a later leg, but also could be easily misconstrued into making it sound like it's the very next leg, as some people were thinking
The Amazing Race recorded a stage in San Carlos de Bariloche, before continuing in Germany.

Sounds like they're saying that's where they went once they left Bariloche. I doubt they could find out info that the racers themselves didn't know yet, like where they would be going in a few legs.
It might refer to some German commune/district/local hangout. Germans are all over the Lake District (not those Germans--descendants of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Chilean) Germans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Argentine)). Almost every town in the region has a Club Aleman or something similar.
And the Rio/Estancio mention might refer to the same place/task (http://www.guidedconnections.com/argentina-bariloche-fortin_chacbuco-rio_limay.htm): they seem to be situated together.
My conclusion from the above is that only one connection is through Montevideo and that one is dominated by a flight connection leaving later and arriving earlier, so why would any team book it?
Actually. my suspicion has been that this Race would be South America, Africa and Oceania/Oz/NZ. I think it'll take more than 21 days, but given how heavy the last two Races have been with Europe and Asia, these three continents/areas were due.

Yes, but lately it doesn't seem like they have been trying too hard to balance the frequency of the locales they visit. I think there will still be at least one of both Europe and Asia, although if they are going to Australia (continent), that is a lot of continents for one race. We'll see which of the two evils (fewer continents or the mandatory Europe/Asia visit) wins in the end. :lol:

It's not bad that they visit Europe and Asia; it's bad that they're recycling places and making mediocre tasks. TAR has exhausted most of Asia, Europe, and S. America. If there was less violence there, the race should definitely spend at least 3 legs in Africa.
It's clear TPTB are trying to reduce costs by having one or two fewer legs, and by having two legs in the same area before mvoing on, qnd by using several counties in the same area
You know, theschnauzers mentioned "crossing the equator," and that got me to thinking... (and I'm new to RFF and spoilers, so I'm sorry if you guys have covered this in the past...) It seems that during the majority of TAR episodes, the temperatures are fairly warm. IIRC, the contestants are all bundled up for only one or two legs at the most. Makes sense -- same reason Survivor is always on a tropical island -- it makes better TV to see contestants in shorts and t-shirts, rather than jackets and pants. So in trying to speculate on the TAR16 destinations, would the majority of their travel be in the southern hemisphere, where it's summer (and also near the equator)? Has anyone here done an analysis of past TAR seasons and whether they're usually filmed wherever it's summer?
well in the next 8 or so days they will be back in America wrapping it up. So whatever 5 teams we see in America will let us know a good amount. Put where in America will they finish this year... Im thinking Florida or Seattle or something along those lines ha
^ ^ According to that timeline, that could mean we are already in Leg 7 or Leg 8. I wonder why we have heard so little compared to TAR15. :duno:
I hope we hear something soon... :(

If the race is circumnavigating the globe east this time, I don't see an East Coast finish. Probably San Diego/Seattle/SF. Of course, they could pull a great circle route just like TAR 7.

I really hope CBS doesn't spoil the route. It would be so much fun to actually figure it out like in the non-spoiled days! Besides, people are already going to go watch JeJo and Miss Teen.

So is this picture of Phil eating a Big Mac from 2008 or recent?
As for the artificial lighting, FWIW, the McDonald's at the Shanghai Hongqiao airport looks like it can be accessed from outside...
But I think woden is on to something with Changi!! The background behind Phil is juuuuust barely visible behind the fence...plus the skylighting could definitely give off an outdoorsy feel!
yup, its in singapore. today a girl come to my store kinokuniya at takashimaya to ask me some questions regarding the race. ( how much is spent ) but didn not see a filming crew though.
the amazing race cluebox at bukit batok, between bukit batok and jurong east
heyhay is doing a hell of a job :yess: :jam:
but.. hang on.. the background doesn't seem to be right. I need some verification.. you guys know when the picture was taken?
the slanted glass windows and pillar does seem to indicate that it's like the one in KL. I'll drop by tonight and double confirm (in about 12 hours). If Phil is already here.. I'm guessing teams will be coming shortly.. within a day?
If you ask me, the burger box that Phil's eating... we don't have a box in that colour for any of our burgers packaging. :cmaslol
It's safe to say, it's not Singapore. At least.
but.. hang on.. the background doesn't seem to be right. I need some verification.. you guys know when the picture was taken?

*wipes keyboard clean*
:cmas50 :cmas50 :cmas50
I do think it's just a stop over. So.. the teams might go through Singapore for all we know. I'll keep a look out for them tonight (wish I can take the day off from work for this!)
Sorry about that you get >>>>>>>> :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :cmas26heyhay is doing a hell of a job :yess: :jam:
What about me? :cmas13
I don't know...KL seems a less likely transit zone to me than say, Singapore or Bangkok would be. I am wondering if they possibly could be starting out from there?? :duno: but something to consider.
I clearly need to go look at flights now...
Still don't know how this can be Singapore. Ive been to at least 3 terminals in Singapore in my time (including the brand new one). They usually have an open plan store, not a store where you walk through a door into a room.
Also, the McDonalds packaging is very similar around the world and chairs are too.
This must be a transit stop, waiting for a departure. No evidence that they stopped in the country for a leg, however it could be the crew leaving straight after a pit stop for the next leg.

Peach, keep me updated. If they are starting out from here, it only makes sense that Phil leaves at least a day earlier than the other teams. I'm going to the airport later tonight to check if it really fits the Phil picture... if it IS KLIA, I'll probably spend a couple of hours there.. you know.. just in case.
A 7.30pm to 8.30pm flight, IMO.
Random note:Congrats Peach! :kisses
We're about to witness history in the making...

Can you access all the restaurants without going through security? I know most airports that I've been in the places that you eat are inside the security checkpoints.

Today -> AMAZING RACE!!pit stop-*tuaran-inanam-bundusan-lintas-sempelang-tg aru-wisma merdeka-karamunsing-lintas-sempelang* =.='
Twenty students from Brunei will continue the journey that promotes understanding, collaboration and friendship amongst their Singaporean counterparts in the 3rd Singapore-Brunei Adventure Camp 2009.
Accompanying the visiting entourage are four selected teachers. The group departed for Singapore yesterday to begin their remarkable journey from December 14 to 18.
Their pre-scheduled activities include dragon boating, amazing race, log climbing, zip line, visits, telepath, abseiling, challenge pole, nature walk and performances, among others.
Not sure if this is something but i found it on facebook:
The 'Amazing Race' team we met in Bangkok airport won the race. Awesome:-)

Some seasons are easier than others, this one is making us all work. And Twitter has added a whole new dimension, thank you all for keeping up with them!
I still really think that once the race moves into it's final leg, in the US, we're going to have sightings coming out of our ears, especially if JeJo are one of the final three teams.

This might be a good time to say then...think before you post. If you truly love the race as we do, you will not do anything that might impede the finale. Can you imagine the final 3 having to dodge a huge crowd of BB lovers on the way to the Mat? A ruined finale could cause the entire season to be scrapped. So think. This season in particular.
We want the finale to be able to be shot in peace. So if you find something related to the finale, think. You may want to consider checking with puddin or me before you post, to see if the info is safe to share, or whether it could impede filming. We did this in Portland when we knew the final location well ahead of time, and it all worked out. It didn't hurt the spoilers to delay the end location reveal a day or so until the racers were safe. And it may have helped TAR...and we all want more TAR, right??
Twitter may preclude this, we'll have to see. We may not have the luxury of choosing what to reveal. I expect that the city itself may end up being revealed by sightings. But our hope is to have the finale shot in peace...... and THEN we can go to town!! :yess:
Now back to our regularly scheduled program. :cmaslol

I still really think that once the race moves into it's final leg, in the US, we're going to have sightings coming out of our ears, especially if JeJo are one of the final three teams.
This might be a good time to say then...think before you post. If you truly love the race as we do, you will not do anything that might impede the finale. Can you imagine the final 3 having to dodge a huge crowd of BB lovers on the way to the Mat? A ruined finale could cause the entire season to be scrapped. So think. This season in particular.
We want the finale to be able to be shot in peace. So if you find something related to the finale, think. You may want to consider checking with puddin or me before you post, to see if the info is safe to share, or whether it could impede filming. We did this in Portland when we knew the final location well ahead of time, and it all worked out. It didn't hurt the spoilers to delay the end location reveal a day or so until the racers were safe. And it may have helped TAR...and we all want more TAR, right??

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. :cmaslol
Has this happened in the past? I can't honestly see a crowd of BB fans interferring with the finale. First of all, it's kinda hard to get that many BB fans together in one place without proper notice and secondly at the very least, you'd think the TAR producers could mange some crowd control staffers to keep the race path clear. I wont speak for any other BB fan or jejo fans, but if it was me and i managed to catch the finale leg live, I would just sit back and watch, even if your intentions were to try and help JEJO, why would you want to be responsible for endless board chatter about how JEJO only won cause their fans impeded the other racers. If Jeff and Jordan get far in this race, i want them to get full credit for doing a great job, not have their racing ability questioned.
The Truth is that Phil is probably more recognizable then JEJO. As popular as this last season of BB was, it still dosen't compete with TAR ratings. So I guess thats why i couldn't imagine an incident as you described.
That said GO TEAM JEJO :cmas9 And I yeild to all you awesome TAR chasers here, I suck at it and am in awe of your tenacity.
Go read the thread when the race (TAR 13) finished in Portland...it was insane that day. And yes, had we posted the info we had, it could very well have ruined the finale.
I am not saying just BB fans, but TAR fans, curiousity seekers, media...all that changes things. I just want us to be careful of the final location, is all.

they have been doing A LOT of West Coast finishes recently:
TAR 12 (Alaska)
TAR 13 (Portland, Oregon)
TAR 14 (Hawaii)
TAR 15 (Las Vegas, Nevada)
If they continue with the pattern, which IMO is most likely, then we have these possibilities:
Seattle, WA
San Fran/San Jose, CA :yess:
Los Angeles, CA :groan:
San Diego, CA
Phoenix, AZ
and even Boise, ID :cmaslol
and if they really wanted to stretch, they could go to Salt Lake City, UT
If they saw racers at 7AM, then that should have been before the icecream sighting...
And yes, decoys are very likely at this stage.

One more Facebook post, from someone in Singapore 2 hours ago (5:30am, Singapore time):
Thank you guys.... check out the AMAZING RACE ASIA...... Saw the filming at Singapore flyer & Sentosa. Due the the show, they close the flyer from public until 12.30pm, we were way too early...end up took the flyer in the evening. A great trip..
So if they had a 12 hr pitstop and leave pit between 12-2am. Then get the airport to fly out. There are a few popular cities.
Three flights to Johannesburg at 2:30am
Four flights to hong kong at 2:05am and one at 3am, two more at 6:50am
Four flights to Bangkok one at 3:30am and one at 3:55 am, two more at 6:45am
Two to Tokyo both at 6am
Three to Kuala Lumpur all at 6:45am
While I have not a clue in the sleuthing aspect, I throw this out for the experts.
I fear that IF Manilla was the plan, there was a volcanic eruption in the Phillipines this morning. Could they have had to alter the plans? Just guessing....

That was taken by one of my Mom's friends down in Mexico. She said they were watching a parade.
IMHO the elimination station is in Mexico and they are already out and just enjoying there vaction. That STINKSSSSSSSSSSSS what else can go wrong this week with my life. I am down now!!! :cmas15 :cmas15 :cmas15 :cmas15
Yes when in sequester they are allowed out to shop and do tours of the city and such, go watch the elimination station videos.

Do you think all of this is for TARA? (and they brought in their own celebs like TAR USA did?)
That's a shame for JeJo. Doesn't change the fact that their out, but to have to find out like that right now is devastating. Unless something very bizarre happens that has them in street clothes but still racing, it's not looking great at all for the BB fans (or for whomever hoped to bring in more people by casting them).
Sucks that this would also mean the end of the African American couple, but as mentioned, I wouldn't have put them out in the open like that. Sure they've done this in the past, but given how people have been trying very, very hard to get info on JeJo's status, I would have forgone that. What's amazing is that someone got that photo but not much else since they left the US.

i can't beleive you realy thought i thought it was fake get real i'm not stupied
:cmas51
I may be overly hopeful, but could this be them at a rest stop doing a little sightseeing? Can't they spend some of the 12 hours rest time doing a little shopping or looking around? It is hard to believe that they would be told not to leave their room or hotel for 12 hours. Maybe some of you who know TAR real well can tell me if it is possible. Thanks.

well what the time and date on the photo. if it was during the mexico legs then it could be a pit stop taking in the city type of thing. If it was a week ago then sad sad sad

I have no clue what EXIF means, but it's a good point you made.
TAR11 sequester was Acapulco, Mexico and I think TAR 9 stayed there as well. I'll have to ask.
TAR11 had 4 legs in South America and all the teams eliminated stayed in Acapulco, Mexico then Teri and Ian were eliminated in Africa but were also sequestered in Acapulco. They were the last team sequestered that season.
Just an fyi regarding the picture, someone at a JeJo fan site pointed out that December 12th is the Festival of the Virgin Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta (sp?) Mexico, I bet anything that's where that picture came from.
well I agree this could be part of the Male/Female AA team?
Maybe the BB fans that follow Jeff and Jordan could tell us if they have ever been to Mexico together?

Not that I'm aware of. Since the show they were in Seattle for the RealPlayer event, then LA to visit Jeffs' friends there, also there for the Really Awards. She's been to Chicago to meet his friends and family, he's been to Charlotte to meet hers. They were supposed to go to Florida to visit Casey but couldn't due to Jordan buying her house. Jeff was at the Star Bar in AR, but she didn't go with him. This is all in the space from Sept. 15th when BB ended and November 22nd, the day of the last tweet Jeff sent out.

More info on the Jeff/Jordan photo from BBO (at Jokersupdates):
"I think it was taken around a week or so ago. Not positive. Also she said they were being filmed, so not sure if they were eliminated or not. It was taken in Puerta Vallarta."
About a week ago puts it at about December 9.

to follow up (http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/175e8/84b/4/?o=2):
While I would consider riding the Singapore Flyer, the world's tallest Ferris Wheel, to be one of the must-dos in Singapore, the night we went it was amazingly uncrowded -- in fact, we came very close to getting a tube of our own. My friends and I got there around 6:30, an arrival perfectly timed for sunset, which happens quickly this close to the equator. We navigated the maze of shops and ramps to the entrance and we hopped onto the slow-moving wheel without it even stopping. Soon we were out of the housing and getting great views of Singapore and beyond. Het, we could even see Malaysia and Indonesia -- a tri-nation view! We got great looks at the skyline and harbor as the sun dropped behind the tall buildings. We got a great perspective on the ongoing construction of the world's largest casino complex and on Singapore's floating soccer field. Additionally, we could see an unending line of ships at anchor, waiting for their turn to enter busy Singapore Harbor. All in all, the ride took just a hair over 30 minutes and regaled us the entire time, all for about $20.
If we had wanted to splurge, for $199 we could have gotten a tube that came with a full-service dinner on nice linens and fine china, with champagne. In fact, n the tube behind us, we could see two young girls were being filmed doing just that. Since we envisioned that the dinner would be an occassion for romance and dinner, and the girls were rather shoddily-dressed, we were trying to come up with scenarios for what was going on. Was it a reality TV show? It turns out we were close -- a Hong Kong Travel show was filming its Singapore adventure
So I was looking at our original list of cast members, and we don't have a team of two young girls...Teams:
eff & Jordan: Former Big Brother contestants; wearing light blue
Brent/Caitlin: Brent in gray, has long hair; Caitlin in black, blonde hair
Mike & Louie: Louie has man fu beard, wearing camo shorts and black shirts
Cowboys (Tim Abbott?/Bobby Boyd?): Wearing button down shirts (blue and gray), cowboy hats
Frat Boys: Identical twins (?), wearing gold with blue athletic shorts (UCSB?), one with black jacket
Grandmother & Granddaughter: Granddaughter has short brown hair and is wearing green
Middle-Aged Man/Woman: Husband/wife, late 30s, wearing purple
Man/Woman: Possibly father/daughter, older man wearing black shirt and cap, thin woman in blue
African-American Husband/Wife: Husband in dark red, wife in shirt with family photo
African-American Moms: Wearing hot pink
Lesbian Couple: Wearing shades of gray and camo/black pants, short blonde and dark hair
Asian Couple: Wearing red, late 20s/early 30s
Only possible "young" F/F matches who are would be the "lesbian" couple or the AA moms, and from Chateau d If's photos, I wouldn't categorize either team as being particularly young (although youth is in the eye of the beholder...) So maybe it really was a Hong Kong travel show...?
i thought we had a spoiler that mentioned the singapore flyer being shut down for a few hour in the afternoon (12:00) b/c of filming for TAR. of course, at the time - she thought it was TAR Asia and we all know now it isn't!
One more Facebook post, from someone in Singapore 2 hours ago (5:30am, Singapore time):

I speculate that this is actually TAR Asia and that we may very well have been fooled.
that would indicate Johannesburg does not need further consideration.
Given what is already known, Africa definitely can be included in a five continent race. I have been mulling over alternative routes these past few days. As a non-tourist traveler with alot of international miles behind me, I would speculate the following:
North America
South America
North America again (Mexico following Asuncion, Paraquay)
Oceania
Asia
Africa (Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, or Botswana are all safe choices)
Would make for a really interesting and different race for a long-running TV show.

I am not yet convinced about Europe, "Germany" could have been no more than a Frankfurt airport connection.
Africa is looking better and better, and Australia would have been an easy connection to Penang, so :duno:
Okay, incoming:
From one of the Sentosa posters:QuoteI did not realise that they were filming the amazing race until the 2nd sighting, therfore no pictures were taken.
I was at the singapore flyer at about 11am, 16 dec 2009, when i saw the 1st group, male/female team(young couple, long hair girl dressed in blue).
As the flyer was closed for shooting until 12.30pm, my family and i proceeded to sentosa's underwater world, where we spotted the 2nd group, male/male group (middle aged man, dressed in blue too.) wondering around Rasa Sentosa Hotel car park at abt 1pm, same day.
:thankyou: M!!!
What team is the one I bolded, italicized and underlined then? Not to throw another wrench in here and yes, I still think jeJo are out, but that description I quoted could technically be them or Caitlin/Brett. No other teams that I know of match that description.

So they made it to the Asian countries huh? :cmas18
Is it possible that the teams were doing a task during the race like find a certain character or item in the parade and return it to a shop or something? Maybe their packs were there? Except that they weren't wearing the official fanny pack... Just trying to figure out who is the couple reportedly seen.
that discription is JeJo but if they were in the Asia legs they would be a decoy team. Why have decoys in Mexico?!? Werent JeJo the only ones wearing Blue too?

Georgiapeach, this could be solved easily. Do you have the website of that blog? We could give them the links to both the team pic of JeJo and the team pic of Caitlin/Brett, or a pic of them and see if the team they saw was either one.
The only chance of them coming to Australia/New Zealand is today.

What?!? I don't get it, a team was sighted, could be one of two teams, people are speculating on it.
I'll just throw this out there.....going back to Chateau's list of contestants he photographed at the airport - there is still a male/female team that we have no photo of! This team, for all we know could be the blond haired guy and brunette girl! Just sayin'......
This is related to TAR 16, but not exactly pertinent to the current speculation.I heard CSI or the Mentalist
Anyway, what are the odds that TAR gets the post Super Bowl slot? Current buzz is that either Survivor or one of the CBS comedies gets it.
Just wanted to point out that the penultimate leg has been in Oceania before, in TAR4.
Not that I'm suggesting that it's going to be done again. (I'm with Peach, perhaps it occured before Singapore.)
Only chance of teams going to Australia before Singapore is if they went to somewhere like Ayres Rock or Alice Spings (which would be cool). No way could they get away with it in a major city like Sydney or Melbourne without someone spotting them already.Yeah, that's very true.
It's going to be The Mentalist.This is related to TAR 16, but not exactly pertinent to the current speculation.I heard CSI or the Mentalist

Regarding the tweet/blog about JeJo in Germany, it could be true, since the 5th and 6th out probably went to ES in Puerto Vallarta just like the first 4 would have from S America.

Wow..You've got good eyes..I would never have thought a garbage pail was in the street along side of a parked car...It looks like it could be a backpack standing up, but I'll bow to you...
the kota kinabalu spec began with a post that almost certainly referred to a someone saying she was running her own amazing race
I think you come out short on some legs though, but really, we don't know so spec away!
We also have 5 continents per Macaroons. ;)
I think you come out short on some legs though,I hope this makes some sense.
Really, Penang is not a hub, most of the flights are to and from Singapore and KL. There is no good reason for him to be transiting there that I can see...which implies a leg to me. Always assuming there is not another identical McDonalds somewhere in the world.
Via Frankfurt?? :lol:
Never thought of this before, but it is possible to fly direct from certain parts of Africa to Australia. Do you think TAR went Africa -> Australia -> Asia?
the teams never wear jeans while racing b/c many tasks prevent that type of clothing. They wear mostly comfortable running clothes and/or production provided clothing (thoughts of the globetrotters in dutch dresses running through my head right now)
Speculating on the gap between Bariloche, Argentina and Malaysia/Singapore: There were probable sightings in both Asuncion, Paraguay and Sao Paulo, Brazil. None of those cities, Bariloche, Asuncion and Sao Paulo, are far from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Checking on Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport (EZE) I found out Malaysia Airlines (MAS/MH) flies from there to Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Malaysia and even offers a connecting flight to Kota Kinabalu (BKI) from EZE on Wednesdays and Sundays. As teams were previously surprised with a Bolivia-New Zealand leg, this one seems like a more exotic one. Lets suppose they were in either Asuncion/Sao Paulo/Buenos Aires and then were asked to go to Kota Kinabalu! Easy: Malaysia Airlines flight MH202 departed EZE at a very confy time: 21:45 on Wednesday December 9th and after stopping in Cape Town & Johannesburg (both in South Africa) they arrived in KUL at 06:20 on December 11th just in time to connect with flght MH2604 departing KUL at 07:30 arriving BKI at 10:05. This may have put the teams in Malaysia on December 11 early morning without any other legs having been run in either Europe or Africa.

Yuck. I certainly hope they wouldn't do that. That would be an even shorter course than TAR 15!
But if Macaroons has the right info (5 continents), I am rejoicing right now.
I would speculate that it went like this:
North America (Starting Line)
South America
Europe
Africa
Asia (Singapore area)
North America
But I REALLY want to see Oceania visited again!
We've never seen this pattern (and I know its not happening this season) but it would be an interesting one for sure.
North America (east coast start) --> Europe --> Africa --> South America --> Oceania and/or Asia --> North America (west coast/central finish).

Although that would raise the ire of many TARfans (they didn't circumnavigate the world!), I really like that route. It also centers the world on the Americas.
Unfortunately, TAR also has a pattern that South America, since costs are cheaper there, must be visited first in any season.
I've never missed a seson of TAR either. I'm a newby here, and have been lurking for a few weeks. I have tried to understand how so many people can post about absolutely nothing. After reading the post here, I have very little information about TAR 16. I guess this is good entertainment for some, but is there ever any reliable information on how the race is progressing? My guess is that the race is over by now, and we still don't have any concrete information other than the fact that Jeff & Jordan were in the race.
Some more patterns!
Start line/First country:
NYC/Zambia (S. Africa does not count)
LV/Brazil
Miami/Mexico
LA/Italy
LA/Uruguay
Chicago/Iceland
LA/Peru
FE doesn't count
Denver/Brazil
Seattle/China
Miami/Ecuador
All starting lines are now in LA :cmas15
Ireland
Brazil
Switzerland
Japan
Chile
So, only TAR 1 began in Africa. TARs 4,6,12,14 started in Europe, while TAR 10/15 started in Asia. The rest had their first destination in SA, with the exception of TAR 3 in NA.
Finish line locations:
NYC
SF
Seattle
Phoenix
Dallas
Chicago
Miami
once again 8 doesn't count
Denver
NYC
SF (here's where it gets interesting)
Alaska
Portland
Hawaii
Las Vegas
So, we may be possibly due for a final city not in the continental US. Saipan's a pretty nice place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saipan

The reason you probably haven't found any real information in this thread is its the "Speculation" thread. There are other threads that are based on destinations and confirmed sightings/tweets that should have more real information.
I'd read some of the posts here that TAR 16 had already done on filming, and we've never know what will be the final city on that season. I'd also read some sightings in Singapore and Malaysia, last week in which they'd already raced on the Asian continent, but none in my country [the Philippines, since they'd visited on season 5] had a news or rumors that TAR 16 was filmed here. That's sad probably because the producers of TAR want to turn away to my country right now due to the incident on Maguindanao massacre which happened almost a month ago. Blame the election-related political violence in my country!!! :cmas4
But if they're already in Malaysia and Singapore and there are only 3 or 4 remaining legs after visited these 2 countries, and they'd didn't visited Philippines due to that incident, that means did they'd revisit either of these 3 East Asian countries like in South Korea [previously visited on TAR4], Taiwan [previously visited on TAR12] or Japan [previously visited on TAR 9, 12 & 15] which in spite on those countries had already been featured on TAR on the previous season but wasn't very popular to this show on those 3 countries or even raced in the Russian Far East region [on Vladivostok side] which was similar to TAR 14 before heading back to the US? Just my speculation, guys and Merry Christmas as well! :cmas9
If Hunters Point was used, there are 2 massive structures in that area, Candlestick Park (current home of the SF 49ers football team and site of the famous Earthquake Game during the 1989 World Series) and the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.Candlestick was brought up by Boingo, it might be a good choice. I love the shipyard idea as well.

I'm almost wondering if someone is pulling your leg. I'm kind of surprised about Hunter's Point being involved. It's reputation is that it's the most ghetto-like part of San Francisco. I believe it is starting to be gentrified in recent years, so it's probably improving. I think you've covered the likeliest locations in that area. I'm fairly sure Candlestick Park was available since the 49ers played in Philadelphia yesterday. As for the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard, it's been closed for decades and I'm not sure anything much has ever been done with it. It might offer a gritty type of location sort of like the start at the Los Angeles River in TAR 15.
Now that I think about it, there is an old auditorium roughly in that area, the Cow Palace, just across the border in Daly City. Also a couple of parks, McLaren Park and Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, but I don't know much about them.
One thing the Hunter's Point locations have is that they should allow for good isolation and security.
Plaidmoon
That's been brought up as well, maybe the general area of Hunters Point? Could have been used as a reference as in area only? I'm not familiar with San Fran. I like the isolation point.
I did do a search on McLaren Park. It's the second largest park in San Francisco at 317 acres, so it's reasonably good sized. I saw pictures of a pretty little lake and a striking 700 seat amphitheater, the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, so it has possibilities. It also has a 9 hole golf course, for what it's worth. I'd post the pictures, but they were just thumbnails. I'm out of time for further searching this morning, so I'll leave it for others to do more digging if so inclined.
Plaidmoon
I will die if the final mat is in Candlestick Park.:chute: would you have jumped out of the plane?
I was staring right at it from 1000 ft elevation at 10:48 am. I did not think to look closely for anything in the field. But if I did look and there was production in the field then I would have seen it. :groan:
Just thinkin' out loud here, but this whole 19th vs. 20th finish brings up a few ideas.... we know the JJs and other losers from Mexico sequester arrived in SFO on the 19th (morning?). Get's one thinking, would BVM risk a flight delay from Mexico to rush the racers to the finish line that same day (SFO is known for fog delays, and I think I read somewhere there was fog in the area on the 19th). The remaining losers would be fine, as they travel with the final 3 teams as decoys. If they are delayed then they just move the finish to the next day. If I were WRP, I would bring the Mexico losers in a day early, just so they would be ready when the final 3 arrive. So that would imply a final on the 20th. Not that is really happened that way, but would explain a lot. OK, I'm done thinking right now. Carry on. :cmas23boingo,
So with the pictures of Mike/Louie (the detectives) arriving at SFO with production and not appearing to be racing, do we think the Singapore shots are real or decoy?I'd say Singapore they are in race mode ..
Sorry about that chief!Any more pictures Chateau and yeah that, they looked like a very strong team :cmas13
I thought for sure they would make the final leg :cmas13
yup looking like the females -- cowboys -- Brentlin might be our final 3

Short haired Females were spotted in F4 along with Cowboys, Michael and Louis and Brent and Caitlin so that must mean that Frat Boys finish 5thWait, where were the Cowboys spotted in the final 4? I thought final 3? Which could possibly make them decoys right?

LOL I thought Mike and Louis were the cowboys. :groan: Nevermind
Apparently they were rushing into a cab (rings out F3, I hope haha)Remember the video of Matt and Gary rushing around Vegas and into a cab? You just never can be sure right?

No use scratching your head over this when there is a simpler solution. Sounds like you are a local, so an actual visit to the locations in question could answer some questions. If anyones up to scouting the "not so nice" neighborhood of Hunter's Point, and ask a few questions of the people there you may come up with some actual sightings and dates. Just a thought. Good luck.
yup looking like the females -- cowboys -- Brentlin might be our final 3
With BIG thanks to TrebledTimes at TWoP for this elaboration on his original sighting on 12/20 in San Fran: (He was linked to our photos for comparisons)QuoteWhat I can say with 100% certainty was that it was noon PST at the corner of Larkin and California Streets. What I saw were two large guys wearing navy blue fleeces or jackets carrying what looked like a large locked trunk. I was across the street and they were facing the other direction. I'm not sure I could even hazard a guess based on those photos, although I would say with 90% certainty they were wearing navy blue. And the film crew were quite agro (they nearly knocked me over, which is why I noticed what they were doing) which leads me to believe it was actual footage they were after.
It is the aggressive film crew that is stumping me...by that time they are usually telling their team to slow down, lol....
Love the spec Detour though!! :tup:

Yeah, the aggressive film crew (and he referred to them as they) doesn't fit with a decoy team given what has been done in past seasons. That confuses me too. Last season it was easy to spot because they just had one cameraman and no sound guy and they weren't very intense about what they were doing. Perhaps they are trying to make the decoys look more real this time.
Do we know for certain, though? Especially with the sudden thoughts that Steve & Allie, the father/daughter team, might be there instead?yup looking like the females -- cowboys -- Brentlin might be our final 3
Well, at least I can hope that an all-female team wins -- even if it's not the one I would like to see win.

Newbie sleuth question: why is it assumed that this is a decoy team and not the real thing? How do you tell the difference other than crew behavior? I assume there's something to do with finish line timing. Has that been tied into what this team was doing?
We believe that teams arrived directly from Shanghai though.Then Shanghai must either be the F7 leg, where the last sequester team goes out, or the F6 leg, where, I'm fearing, Carol & Brandy go out.
Shanghai is believed to be the last leg before the Finale...so either a NEL, or much more likely, where we say goodbye to the 4th place team, who will then run decoy, and not go to ES.Oh, Shanghai is F4. I thought Singapore was. Then what are Singapore and Malaysia?

Some kind of TAR look-alike in Buenos Aires 11/29 -- just throwing this in here in case it matches descriptions of future "spoilers."
:lol: when I posted a TAR San Telmo sighting in BA last year here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,21253.msg505733.html#msg505733), no one seemed too excited.Because I tied it in with the other sightings in Argentina on that date plus the gal is wearing jeans and well now you know the rest of the story. :kuss:
:lol: looks like the cowboys got an exemption from the "jeans" rule (at least for the start). :lol3: :duno:Damn you Boingo :lol:
Is it possible that, in a move designed to confuse RFF and others attempting to spoil AR16, WRP decided to split the location of the first leg and have about half go to Vina del Mar and the other half to Buenos Aires before joining up later in Santiago or Bariloche. This would be radical but how else can the apparent photos of 11/29 teams in Buenos Aires be reconciled? If split you could eliminate one team from both first leg locations or more likely have a NEL in both locations.
Some other version
Here: (http://travelsinspanish.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/san-telmo/) :tup:Quotethis past Sunday we stumbled upon the taping of what I believe to have been the French, or possibly Portugese, version of the reality TV show “The Amazing Race”.
graytex December 4, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Hi! I saw your pictures of the “Amazing Race” and was curious about what you saw. The US version is filming in South America and I’m tracking it. Can you tell me anything you saw? Maybe how many teams and a description? I don’t think it was the US version, but want to make sure. Thanks!
travelsinspanish December 5, 2009 at 12:09 am
We’re not sure that it was the actual “Amazing Race”, but definitely something like it. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the US version since the contestants weren’t speaking English (or Spanish), but that’s interesting that it’s currently filming in South America. It was pretty amusing watching the camera guys chase the contestants through the crowds. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get too many details, but the team of two girls seemed to be in the lead…
These took pictures should be from the same Race. Look at the old couple circled in Red.

If you enlarge the photo (http://picasaweb.google.com/dannyjwarner/ChileNovember7thTo22nd2009#5409668235701529026) you found recently, one of the contestants has similar hair.
"(translated) The shooting that occurred a few weeks ago had the landscapes of Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, cities like Buenos Aires and Ushuaia. The candidates, the moderator, and production have also visited places like the mythical stage of Diego Maradona, Boca Juniors, and candidates will try to Argentine tango!"
The Discussion board would be great wp, you can add this as well.
I'd like to start a Peking Express Spoilers thread to separate this stuff out - but not sure where to put it ... suggestions?

Heeee...it is because we are desperate for some new spoilers, :funny:
Why will this 11/29 Buenos Aires thing not go away? And can we get a breathing heavily, exasperated smiley, please?
could it be tbc like season 9Perhaps, but I don't think they'd do it so soon after doing it in TAR14.

And let me toss in one of these: :iok:lol3:
Well if it is Nueva Germania, which seems quite plausible at this point, we still have to find some way to account for Europe. My best guess would be a small european country the race has yet to visit that wouldn't attract much attention.
The leg before Penang could be either be in Kuala Lumpur (obvious) or Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, or Bali).

Indonesia is too unstable, anyone heard of the Bali bombings and the Jakata hotel bombings? There are a lot of people who suggest Indonesia but just can't see how they can do it in the current climate.
Oh, TAR can do TBCs any time they want. I just can't see them doing one that has a flight in the middle of the leg, as that can post a problem for the production and Phil's filming schedule.

TAR 9 TBC leg did in fact involve an international flight mid-leg. Teams had to fly out of Moscow (Red Square) to Germany and rach the BMW test track. True, it was the longest leg in TAR history in both distance and duration, but nonetheless TPTB did it.
Indonesia is NOT currently on the US State Dept list of travel warnings and alerts: (But Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar are...)

What about Montenegro? It's not on the list of "dangerous" countries, but is it also involved in the Serbia/Kosovo dispute?
I wonder how they managed to get Phil to the pit stop mat before the racers, then.They had a 36 hour pit stop following the end of stage 2, followed by a bus trip. This would have given Phil a fair head start on the racers. Once they got to Germany, they had a decent sized self-drive as well.

A self drive in Germany? Great! Do you have any more information about that? Or what else they do in Germany? From what we've been able to find so far, we aren't even sure if they went to Germany, so any details would be greatly appreciated.

First I spark the discussion on Nueva Germania (which I'd edited out of my post after thinking it was too improbable)
Oh dear, what have I done?
First I spark the discussion on Nueva Germania (which I'd edited out of my post after thinking it was too improbable) and then a discussion on the logistics of the TAR9 uberleg leads to at least one poster getting thoroughly confused.
In making this post, I have to add something to the TAR16 speculaiton, otherwise it would be essentially redundant.
If our Paraguay spoiler is correct (and if the flight schedules haven't changed in the past 2 months, there was a flight to Montevideo not long after the relevant Twitter posts were made), the racers would have probably been flying in from either Buenos Aires or Montevideo (or possibly Santa Cruz or Curitiba), but the date would have meant that they were already up to stage 5 or 6. Previously, there have never been more than 4 South American stages (3 if you leave out the Romber seasons) which would indicate that the spoiler was fake, but with no other firm spoilers between Bariloche and SE Asia (was there an airport sighting in Dubai?) and the fact that they didn't leave Asia until stage 7 in TAR15, maybe we can't completely discount the chance of production people actually being in the Asuncion airport.

This is complete speculation - but perhaps we had South America for 3 legs - an Antarctic leg or 2 and then back to South America - Paraguay for 1 more leg? Unfortunately, penguins don't use twitter so its hard to confirm anything.I can't see Antarctica happening, but what about the Falkland Islands?

I explained my reasons for this before. If they had a leg in Europe, you would have expected a spoiler by now, plus the flight via Dubai to Malaysia would make less sense unless they did Europe first then Africa. Also the amount of European legs in the last two seasons makes is less likely, but yes not impossible.
The route that has been spoilt so far doesn't really allow a leg in Oceania (which is not a continent btw). I know people in the US think Australia is some far off distance land, but we do have a lot of people and the technology to have spoiled this by now unless they went directly to the outback or hid in the bush the whole time! :lol:

I can read spanish and portuguese............but that doesnt answer my question you believing Wikipedia knws more than we do, does it now. That is all I was asking. Thanks
I'm hunting for inconsistencies here.I had the last of the early tweets as being at 8:34am Paraguayan time (45 minutes before PU 706 was due to leave) and the first of the later tweets at 1:03pm Uruguayan time, which would have given her an hour after the flight landed (which still isn't much time at all, but if MVD is anything like ASU, it could be possible).
First: The last tweet in Asuncion was posted at 3:34am, which translates into 7.34am Paraguay time. (The timestamp's time zone was determined on the day of the postings, when it listed times as "X hours ago.") The arrival time in Montevideo is supposedly at 7.03am computer time, or 12.03pm Uruguay time. This fits well with PU 706, leaving Asuncion at 9.20am and scheduled to arrive at 12.05pm in Montevideo. However, the tweet "finally!!!! see you soon amigos uruguayos!!!!" was posted at 7.34am. What could the "finally" refer to, if the flight to Montevideo leaves two hours later?
Second: Amy posts that "my friend and i assumed the crew were expecting people from BA...that's where the ticket agent assumed i was going." The last flight to Buenos Aires left at 6.00am, and the next one isn't until 1.00pm. Is it normal for a ticket agent at the airport to assume someone was going to Buenos Aires if she arrives at 7am?
And just something I was wondering, why was Twitter on Mountain Time?
I had the last of the early tweets as being at 8:34am Paraguayan time (45 minutes before PU 706 was due to leave) and the first of the later tweets at 1:03pm Uruguayan time, which would have given her an hour after the flight landed (which still isn't much time at all, but if MVD is anything like ASU, it could be possible).
The route that has been spoilt so far doesn't really allow a leg in Oceania (which is not a continent btw)
Under some models Oceania is considered a continent (in Spanish, in English it's "Australia"). It varies depending which one they teach in schools. Some models consider both North America & South America as the same continent. So the 5-continent supposition could be true depending on how you divide the continents.
One question about the time zones and those tweets. Is Daylight Savings Time in the Southern Hemisphere being taken into account? And as is the case between North America and Europe, the periods countries observe DST vary.
Okay, this is PURE spec.
But Macaroons does expect that this race should hit 5 continents.
So since Germany is the only clue we have for Europe...I started thinking about where they might go, and what they might do there? Given that the timing was pre-Christmas, I wonder if perhaps they could have gone to one of the many Christmas markets? These are all over, (Frankfurt has a very popular one (http://www.germany-christmas-market.org.uk/frankfurt_christmas_market.htm), only 15 minutes from the airport, and the dates fit), and crowded....so perhaps a few more travellers and even cameras could blend in? Which might explain our lack of sightings there (hide in plain sight :lol:)
Frankfurt is a nice sized city...not saying that ALL the tasks would be in a market of course...anyway it is only spec.
WHat does seem likely is
1) 5 continents, so where is #5??
2) after reviewing woden's lovely Timeline>> it seems as though we can have EITHER Asuncion OR Germany, but perhaps not both (two different spoilers for the same timeframe?) ???
3) I do like 2 legs in Africa, Ethiopia would make perfect sense, but having spent a fair bit of time in that area myself...a 24 hour train would be cruel!! :lol: and we don't have time in the schedule for that anyway, I don't think....
OTOH, it seems as though we may get some Dijibouti pics soon!! :yess: Always possible that could be a double leg as well until we hear otherwise.
what if the paper was mistaken and Germany wasn't exactly right after Bariloche?I think you're right! :yess:
or, what if they were delibirately mislead to think Germany was the next spot to throw people off?
either could easily happen and could very much explain why we have both a Paraguay "sighting" and Germany "spoilers" at the same time

These pics are not allowing me to copy on to my email so ill go ahead and say what is on them. Teams (one all male team) running into the Stade du ville.
what if the paper was mistaken and Germany wasn't exactly right after Bariloche?
or, what if they were delibirately mislead to think Germany was the next spot to throw people off?
either could easily happen and could very much explain why we have both a Paraguay "sighting" and Germany "leads" at the same time
This sounds very similar to Season 12 when they said "2 new African countries"

Well, that wasn't supposed to be misleading. It was just a good ol' Bert van Munster error. :lol3:
No, they only went to Burkina!This sounds very similar to Season 12 when they said "2 new African countries"
Well, that wasn't supposed to be misleading. It was just a good ol' Bert van Munster error. :lol3:
BVM knew they were going to Burkina and Faso that year.
And he thought Lithuania was Liberia :WTF, Croatia was Cote D'Ivoire :notme:, Netherlands was Nigeria :noway:, Taiwan was Tanzania :naughty: and the Republic of Ireland was the Republic of Congo :spell! All of a sudden, it's all Africa! (:;) :idgitNo, they only went to Burkina!This sounds very similar to Season 12 when they said "2 new African countries"

IF we have Germany...if we have Asuncion, then we don't have Germany if I am looking at the Timeline infocorrectly...so where then?? :duno:
I need to go back to all the original posts and take another look at Germany though... or maybe WODEN can help us out here??

I don't have anything new to add, but I do think it's possible to have Paraguay and Germany. My theory (which is spec) is that the Argentina production staff could very well have been on the way to Germany (per the Argentine article) while the teams went on to Paraguay, where a different production staff was waiting. We know that staffs rotate throughout the season, so... :duno:
If I were making a guess, I like the Paraguay story. But five SA legs, wow.

Right. I'm saying there could be a Paraguay leg AND a Germany leg. They are not mutually exclusive.
The production team that worked the Argentina leg(s) would go ahead to Germany to set up there. This could be why someone in Bariloche caught wind of the race going there next.
However, since production teams rotate, there could have been staff waiting in Paraguay to film a leg there.
Something like this:
EP01: LA to Valpo, Chile (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP02: Valpo, Chile to Puerto Montt, Chile (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP03: Puerto Montt, Chile to Bariloche, Argentina (PRODUCTION TEAM B works leg, then flies to Germany to set up)
EP04: Bariloche, Argentina to UNKNOWN (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP05: UNKNOWN to Asuncion, Paraguay (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP06: Asuncion, Paraguay to Frankfurt, Germany (PRODUCTION TEAM B works leg)
See what I mean, Chateau?
BTW, the route above is still spec -- we don't have hard evidence for either Paraguay or Germany.
I would love for Dijibouti to be a real location... and hope it is.
But unless and until we get pics or some specific info, I think it has to remain serious spec only. So far we still have no concrete proof...like Germany. :(
But we'll keep the hope alive!!
I just want to make one observation. Ever since TAR 12, the structure of the route has changed in consistent ways from earlier seasons. We now have a pattern with 11-12 legs, rather than 12-13 (and I'm not counting the uberlegs as seprate legs in this comparison).
In the recent Races, there has been a consistent pattern of two or three cities where there are double legs. In the earlier seasons , two legs in a country didn't always mean two legs in the same city or metropolitan area. And it appears the remaining legs are often a grouped together so that several proximate countries are plotted out in each continent/area the route goes through. I'm sure it may be stating the obvious, but my point is that there really is a change since Race 12 as compared to the Races prior to that one.
We know that Chile has 2 legs for TAR 16. That leaves 2 more unaccounted for.
A far more visible trend that really started in TAR 13 is the fact that 3 countries host more than 1 leg:
TAR 13: Brazil, India, Russia.
TAR 14: Russia, Thailand, China.
TAR 15: Vietnam, Dubai, Czech Republic.

Actually, TAR 12 did not stay in the same city for one leg (they went out to the country and back into the capital during the Burkino Faso legs). TAR 14 only stayed in Beijing due to the TBC. TAR 13 stayed in Delhi and Moscow, and TAR 15 stayed in Dubai and Prague for 2 legs each.

Time to revive the speculation thread. CBS' press release below reveals the following:
Teams' first destination lies in Chile where they will encounter one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the history of the series. In their ongoing battle for the one million dollar prize, Teams will participate in a grueling World War I reenactment in France, retrace the early days of the iconic rock group, The Beatles, and come face-to-face with one of the world's most infamous villains.

The early days of the Beatles would imply England, perhaps Liverpool?

The better known battles and those with the highest number of casualities in France during WWI would include the battles of The Marne, Ypres, Somme and Verdun.
The early days of the Beatles might include Hamburg, Germany where they first obtained notice during their nightclub gigs there.
And I finally found time to read mosts of the recent posts on this and other threads and have I completely missed it, but no one, I mean no one has wished our dear, dear Puddin a Happy Birthday? She turned (CENSORED) on January 19., (Puddin, my lips are sealed) :hearts:
Didn't we have the Spanish-language newspaper article that mentioned Germany?
I think the Beatles reference in the CBS materials points to Hamburg; and that the teams flew to Germany before France.
And IIRC, the Seychelles were a French colony before it became independent, which I think would point to a Argentina-Germany-Fance-Seychelles leg order and possibly no Paraguay.

The only RBs in Chile were the boardroom puzzle and the fish transporting, both in AS. I don't think either is grueling (or infamous enough to be a switchback), but I wouldn't mind the fish to return given our cast :lol:

Do you guys think Chile being the Switchback is a press mistake and it's really Argentina, or will they be doing the same RB in a different location? ???
The way I read it, that press release says NOTHING about a switchback. It just says they encounter a daunting RB...nothing in that sentence that says AGAIN.
:duno:
Hamburg to Paris looks great for a self driving leg. Fly from Argentina to Hamburg area for tasks and pitstop.......then drive to the WWI battlefields for tasks and pitstop.......then drive to Paris and fly to Seychelles.I don't think TAR will have big self-driving anymore.
Also if only two legs in Europe, that would be the 4th/5th eliminations and easy to fly the two European eliminatins to Mexico for Elimination Station. If there are 3 European legs, then the 6th eliminated team goes around the world as decoys and, to me, seems to go against the saving money theme of latest races. Just spec.
5 hours is nothing in Europe, they drive FAST. :lol:
They have fast trains in Europe for a reason; thry're faster for those short distances.
My speculation is that teams never get south of Puerto Varas. They need to be about 30 miles south of it to reach Metri for the fish tanks.Grueling Roadblock. Does it involve meat, anybody? :lol3: :yess:

According to wikipedia, they'd visited 9 countries, 5 continents and 40,000 miles for TAR 16. I do believe these are the countries that will visit it:
South American side:
1. Chile
2. Argentina
Europe side:
3. France
4. Belgium - (if Paraguay does or doesn't include?)
5. Germany - (if Paraguay does or doesn't include?)
African side:
6. Seychelles
Asian side:
7. Malaysia
8. Singapore
9. China

Topaz, we keep suggesting that you not quote wiki here, as ANYONE can edit it and it is often filled with misinformation during the pre-airing phase.
So in this case, we know that there are only 8 countries from the press release info. So we can't have 3 European countries.
Contestants will travel nearly 40,000 miles across five continents and eight countries. Eleven Teams start off by navigating through the congested streets of Los Angeles and, for the first time ever, must rely solely on public transportation to make their way to LAX. The Teams' first destination lies in Chile where they will encounter one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the history of the series. In their ongoing battle for the one million dollar prize, Teams will participate in a grueling World War I reenactment in France, retrace the early days of the iconic rock group, The Beatles, and come face-to-face with one of the world's most infamous villains.
If you had read the rest of this thread, you would have seen that we believe Germany (Hamburg in particular) may cover the Beatles reference nicely. So Paraguay is out, and that means no room for Belgium -- again.
Sucks has Joe & Heidi down as the first boot, followed by Jody & Shannon, Dana & Adrian, Monique & Shawne, and ending with Jordan & Jeff. At least in terms of the sequester eliminations.
It says nine countries because it includes the USA. No Belgium. It was listed as eight on the wiki before (since they just copy whatever is in the press releases), but I had to change it to nine to include the USA like the previous seasons did. For some reason, press releases are no longer interested in counting the USA as a country. :duno:
Yes, the USA and North America still count in the country and continent count (or at least, they should).
Peach, thank you. I mostly brought that here to get it confirmed or denied.
Similarly, someone else on Sucks said it'd most likely get confirmed or denied here.
Let me put my two cents worth... I noticed something
Alcatraz is near San Francisco, could there be a finale task there? Also Al Capone was imprisoned there. It's quite remote from what I here, so not much spoilers, maybe. Al Capone is villainous...
I think Alcatraz is out. Much to popular for them to go to!Let me put my two cents worth... I noticed something

The only way to get to Alcatraz is by boat or flying in right? Someone would have spotted them.

"The only way to get to or from Alcatraz Island is by ferry boat from Fisherman’s Wharf. That is, unless you consider yourself to be a very good open water swimmer."
Now, if you examine a map of Alcatraz Island you can see 2 places (Parade Ground and and the boat dock) where someone might put a small helicopter down. I do not believe that anyone is allowed to do that.

Okay Hooky, that makes better sense. Thanks. I guess maybe the press releases don't count the US in because WRP/CBS/BVM don't include it in their counts. Maybe wiki could read eight NON-US countries?? :duno:
Is there anyway they could have gone to England instead of Germany? I came across this article when I was searching google and found this. It could be a typo :duno: :
Jeff and Jordan, who met on “Big Brother 11″ (she won) and are described as “newly dating,” are one of the 11 teams announced for the 16th edition of “The Amazing Race,” which debuts at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 14, on CBS. (Happy Valentine’s Day to us!)
Jeff Schroeder, 31, is a salesman from Norridge, Ill. Jordan Lloyd, 22, is a receptionist from Charlotte, N.C. Few thought the relationship would survive outside the “Big Brother” house; now the question is whether it will survive a race around the world, including a first stop in Chile and later challenges including the reenactment of a World War I battle in France and a Beatles-centric puzzle in Liverpool, England.
Also on the race is Caitlin Upton, the former Miss Teen South Carolina who became the butt of a thousand jokes after badly botching an answer about geography. Upton, 20, a model, is teamed with her boyfriend, Brent Horne, as “dating models.”
Thanks Sailing!
I believe this came from Gail Pennington's article:
http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/tube-talk/tv-news/2010/01/amazing-race-returns-feb-14-here-are-the-teams/
She is a well respected writer on TV and my guess is that she had a different press release. I would think that we need to take this at face value right now, although I am following this up....

Great War Event at Fort Seclin nr Lille France. 17 & 18/10/09

Info on Fort Seclin
http://www.cheminsdememoire.gouv.fr/page/affichelieu.php?idLieu=1163&idLang=en (http://www.cheminsdememoire.gouv.fr/page/affichelieu.php?idLieu=1163&idLang=en)
This needs a lot more "TAR Detecting", but I'm not very good at it (see screen name :lol:)
Some Fort Seclin re-enactment video:
Lots of possible tasks.
The problem with battlefield re-enactments is that they all seem to take place about the same time of year as the orginal battle. There were very few winter offensives in WWI. In the early December time frame, I only found two battles.
One The Battle of Givenchy (http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/givenchy.htm) is in the Pas-de-Calis region, not far from the Chunnel entrance on the French Side.
The other The Battle of Champagne (http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/champagne1.htm) is east of Paris, near Reims.
These were major engagements. This certainly doesn't mean some local area cannot celebrate some minor battle or skirmish that took place in their town. The comment about the difficult re-enactment just might be a reference to the worst winter in Europe referenced by Apskip, and not to the actual difficulty of the re-enactment
With more information appearing that seems to point to Liverpool for the Beatle spoiler, I think it is possible that BVM used the EuroStar/Chunnel to hype the show/do something new and get teams from England to the re-enactment to Paris for departure to Seychelles.

I think they are going to Liverpool, England. The World War I battle reenactment is in France. Do they even visit Germany this season?
QuoteI doubt it will be a final 4 but I think that one of them was eliminated and took the same flight with the final 3
Or there could be a surprise twist that has one of the 4 teams eliminated in the US. It could be very unexpected. We're watching Episode 11 (on the basis of a 12 episode season), and they went through all of the 3 NE episodes (or 2 NE + 1 TBC), and you'd think that this episode is obviously a Philimination.
Then Phil saves that team, and everyone watching is in shock. Then, it's finale time. Everyone is trying to get back to the US and to the Finish line. Somewhere in the middle of the episode, there's a mid-leg Philimination. Then they're down to 3 teams, all of which will race to the Finish Mat.
Probably won't happen, although I might reconsider the possibility of the above occurring, if we're lucky enough to get a 2-hr finale (with a single leg stretched out in the form of the AR 6-9 premieres).
Except we already know one decoy team arrived on the same flight with the racers...remember??
4 teams on the last flight is not unexpected.

Random thought. Getting dropped off at the starting line in a park by a bus? Making your way to the airport by public transport? That sounds very much like we're back to TAR Classic!
*prays for good things to come*

I had the exact same thought when the first day of tweets came in that indicated the teams weren't driving but were seen running and going to train and bus terminals.
(It now means that one Race out of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have started with public transportation.)

I'm surprised to see how close Lille is to Belgium. If they actually went to Belgium, I will be sorely disappointed they didn't stop in Brussels :'(Caelestor,
OTOH, the cliffs of Dover are interesting. Easy to take a ferry to Calais from there...
Gman,
I typically agree with most things you say, but not this time. The distance from Hamburg to Dachau is about 776 km which is about 6 hours 53 mins by Autobahn. Hamburg is near the northwest corner of Germany and Munich (Dachau is 10 km away) is near its southeast corner and it is a big country. Buchenwald is near Weimar in the center of Germany, but is still 390 km, 240 miles and 4hours 20 minutes away. Besides that, Liverpool is specifically mentioned in at least one of the articles written about AR16. After getting to Dachau it would be 677 km or 421 miles to Seclin and a shorter but still huge distance from Buchenwald to Seclin.
The distances from Liverpool to Seclin are shorter and the timing quicker than either of the above. I am not going to state for sure that your scenario will not happen, but a its probability is too low to think about.
If they came on the same flight, how were the F3 not seen? ???
Hmmm, I would have thought that the Rieper Bahn (which was where the club where The Beatles had their residency in Hamburg was) would have been a big place for sightings.
On the topic of notorious villains, what about Napolean Bonaparte?
Leg 1: Los Angeles, USA - Valaparasio, Chile
Leg 2: Valaparasio, Chile - Puerto Varas, Chile
Leg 3: Puerto Varas, Chile - Baroliche, Argentina
Leg 4: Baroliche, Argentina - Asunción, Paraguay
Leg 5: Asunción, Paraguay - England
Leg 6: Liverpool, England - France
Leg 7: France - Seychelles
Leg 8: Seychelles - KL, Malaysia
Leg 9: KL, Malaysia - Penang, Malaysia
Leg 10: Penang - Singapore
Leg 11: Singapore - Shanghai, China
Leg 12: Shanghai - San Francisco
i say the route is this:
2 legs in Canada, followed by a leg in Belgium, and a couple of legs in Germany. Then they make their way to Djibouti for a leg, before continuing on to Dubai. From there they head to Indonesia then head to Australia for two legs. Finally, they hit Paraguay before heading back to the US for the final leg in Dallas. :lol3:
HEEE!! Don't forget the Masada!! :lol3:
there's 12 legs, in 8 countries, on 5 continents (if you count all americas as one) :lol:

Not a given by any means. Dan & Jordan were suggested to have a 30 minute lead out of customs, but Phil has confirmed in a TVGuide interview that other teams were able to catch up and there were some lead changes. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Can we have a source? Because without a source, there is no liability to your statement. (Even though I hope your predicted outcome is true ;) )
If you have read the newspaper cutting with Phil and the tall China man, the paper stated 'Just when you think you have worked out who is gonna win, another team miraculously makes up lost ground(most probably Dan and Jordan) Ow my Gravy!
Oh!!READ THIS
The placements of Season 1 & Season 16:
11th Place:Matt & Ana/Dana & Adrian(male/female team)
10th Place:Kim & Leslie/Jody & Shannon(female team)
9th Place:Pat & Brenda/Monique & Shawne(female team)
8th Place:Dave & Margaretta/Joe & Heidi(male/female team)
7th Place:Paul & Amie/Jordan & Jeff(male/female team)
6th Place:Lenny & Karyn/Steve & Allie(male/female team)
5th Place:Nancy & Emily/Carol & Brandy(female team)
After that leg.......they only left one female standing...which is...
Margarita..in Season 1
Caite..in Season 16
4th Place:Kevin & Drew/Louie & Michael(male team)
3rd Place:Joe & Bill/?
2nd Place:Frank & Margarita/?
1st Place:Rob & Brennan/?
NOW!
Do you think they will still follow that sequence...
Is it a COINCIDENCE.......OR........were PLANNED????
But a recent poll have shown that 65 percent of the general public thinks and wants Jet and Cord to win. So Jet and Cord most probably would not be the team that miraculously makes up lost ground.

That is so untrue. You are just jealous that Dan and Jordan won!
Of course she does. :-XThat is so untrue. You are just jealous that Dan and Jordan won!
Your logic is circuitous, and we have no confirmation that Dan and Jordan won. Maybe peach knows though :secret
