guess three teams racing to the finish line does make sense because the fourth team would have been eliminated by then... I just hope that its all four teams with one getting cut and not three teams the whole episode
-
[^/ All the Early show listings have the latest eliminated team listed for next Wendsday so I guess its a wait and see what happens on Tuesday ?
hope you're like me, puddin, because all I can do right now is WISH and PRAY that its not Merideth and Gretchen because the finale will suck for me if they're not there...
so if London is indeed an Elimination leg, looks like the first half of the finale will be a non-elimination with Uchenna and Joyce getting mugged (?)
it is indeed a "wait and see what happens"

Did any one else notice in the previews two white guys jumping off a bridge? The first one was definitely Ron. I couldn't tell if the other one was Rob or not. It looks to be a roadblock. If it is, how can Rob do it? I'm assuming the meatblock counts as a roadblock for Rob. He should have 6 roadblocks now. If it the meatblock doesn't count then he could be the jumper. Or the jumper could be a local just to misdirect us.

It really looks like Jamaica or P/R to me , did you see U&J running through the American Airlines airport with there black bag ?

I think that next week Amber hurts her foot - you see at one point Amber slipping and crashing into some wooden structure and later Rob giving her a piggy back. It looked to me like they were in the same area as when she fell and that just before she gets the piggy back she is limping and looks like she is in pain. If this is right Romber could be in trouble.
-
from the clothes it looks like Jamaica is first because U&J are dressed different than the P/R picture in american airlines P/R picture , so when they are jumping it maybe P/R ?
-
Jamaica first I think
-
Actually the clothes are the same , Joyce has a black jacket on over her white shirt , also that is Ron jumping from the Bridge and Amber , you could see her ponytail and black bottoms ..underwear ? when Rob is giving her a piggy back ride this is what she is wearing .

But the inspection sticker that TeamJoisey blew up clearly shows Jamaica ? Vidcap 18 & 23
I'm not one to argue so ...
-
The previews after tonights show really looks like it's any teams race.. [<[ and..like each one of them has problems.
I wonder how long Rob can carry the underwear clad Amber )!) on his back..for a million bucks I bet a long long time..
Gonna be a good one I think folks. }^!
-
I am really doubting the U&J betting spoiler back to Old Fashion Vidcap detective work , by the way Kudo's to Chateau d If , your calculations of the arrival times at the pit stop in Istanbul were outstanding. And my hats off to Gman as well , you all are awesome and we are lucky to have you here (7| (^.#
-
Okay, skip Cat Island!
There is Little Bay in Jamaica (http://www.coralcovejamaica.com/jamaica-map,friends,andsnapshots.htm).
Rob is on the opposite side of Jamaica from the pitstop in Port Antonio.
Thanks, Puddin, but it looks like I messed up by about an hour for some teams.
ETA: Dang, I just went back to find you alredy snaged the exact same link. That's what I get for rushing and livin in California.
-
Are we not sure the teams go to Jamaica? (sorry if I missed something haven't caught up on all the threads yet).
'J.U.T.A. Tours - Negril Chapter' is definitely in Jamaica and nowhere else in the Carribean..that I could find:
http://www.jutatoursnegrilltd.com
http://www.caribbean-x.com/caribbean-x/jamaica-taxi.html
-
Hey, Chateau. You were off by a minute estimating U&J's Istanbul finish time.
How about doing a better job next time ((^
Can you figure out bu the amount of darkness U&J's London finish time?
-
Thanks. But I truly sucked at the other times. Maybe that Tower only had nine sides. I don't know.
As for London, I think we are better off figuring it out from traffic.
Here's my R&A rant: They're stupid. They yielded the team they thought to be the biggest threat. Fine. They did not consider the likelyhood that doing so would eliminate their target. The result was that their target survived. Had they aimed at U&J then M&G would would be their competition. Wasn't that the plan?

Take a bow Chateau |#' , you earned it !

Next on THE AMAZING RACE
SEASON FINALE Tuesday, May 10, 9PM ET/PT
Three Teams are racing in taxis when one taxi gets a flat tire. Will this put the Team out of the Race?
A Team makes the crucial mistake of leaving a clue behind while shopping.
After 40,000 miles, Teams reach the end city. Every move, every minute, every decision and every stroke of luck can mean the difference between $1 million and second place. Who will win THE AMAZING RACE?
-
So what do we think the time differences are bewteen the teams.
-
Not only does it look like Jamaica but Amber jumps on a raft that looks like the famous Martha Brae river rafting adventure.
It looks like they can either raft on the rio grande (http://www.golocaljamaica.com/photogallery/portland/rio_grande/rio_frame.htm) or the martha brae. I'm guessing Rio, since the bridge they jump from is awfully long... and the martha brae is smaller than the rio grande, at least from what images I could see. And that's assuming that the bridge task is connected with the rafting task...
-
So what do we think the time differences are bewteen the teams.
My best quess is that Rob and Amber arrive at the pitstop in Potter's Field Park is early afternoon. They arrived at 9:00AM (hey, disregard all those shots of clocks at Waterloo Station they read 8:30 and 8:45AM) One shot of Big Ben from the London Eye reads 11:30. They went first to Abbey Road after taking express in from Heathrow, so give or take one hour here. Quick ride on Jubilee Line to Waterloo Station and London Eye which takes 30 minutes to resolve. So at most another hour. Now its 11:00AM. Back and forth on the underground sleuthing the Brain detour. Another hour at most. At noon they head toward the Millenium Dome. At most 30 minutes (Ron and Kelly take cab and we hear him say it took an hour.) Rob takes 4 tries to complete driving task and he says he spent an hour doing it. Then eight miles to Potter's Field. So now it is now about 2:00PM.
Ron and Kelly arrive at Millenium Dome after Ron and Kelly leave and then have to wait another hour before they can start driving test, so now it is 3:00PM. Kelly takes 7 tries to complete test and it is getting dark so it is now around 3:50. By the time they finish and ride cab to Potter's Field it is now dark and the city lights are all on, and Tower Bridge is brightly floodlit. So my guess is that R/K arrive at about 4:30; this give Rob and Amber a 2.5 hour lead.
When R/K complete Roadblock, M/G and U/J are still at it. It takes Joyce 6 tries so say an hour and a half. It is now quite dark out and by the time they arrive at the pitstop it looks to be even darker. (You can barely see them run through the park and this is with a camera lens wideopen) So my guess here is that it may be around 6:00PM and R/A have a four hour lead.
But it makes no difference, they probably all end up on the same flight to Jamaica! Air Jamaica has a non-stop flight leaving at 12:40PM arriving in Montego Bay, Jamaica at 6:05PM. American Airlines has a flight to Miami leaving at 9:45AM but not arriving with connection from Miami until 8:35PM. Air Jamaica flight to Kingston connects through MBJ.
And we do see all three teams running together in Jamaica. So again bunch, bunch bunch and there goes your four hour lead!!

Thanks tanbuns. Nice that U/J have the most options. I want so much for them to win. Maybe Ambuh has trouble with a RB?
Apropos of nothing, I love that this race has taken the teams to places I've actually been. First London, next Negril, Jamaica. And I'd go back to either place...

Well the first RB from teh preview looks like jmping off that bridge and i dont think Amber will have any trouble with that being that she jumped off that cliff in Survivor Outback in episode two.
-
Good point on the jump Never! Question is once they jump how far to they have to swim...Can she out swim Uchenna and Ron?
-
Can someone pinpoint which airline or airport this is ? Speculation , are Romber ahead and already on their way to Miami?

RaceyGirl who posted the U/J picture also states she believes another couple she saw at the San Juan Airport was Ron/Kelly. Even though spoilers have said they break up mid race, they just might still hold it together to make final three.
"I was waiting to check my luggage at the counter to the farthest left which is exactly where they pulled up. I can tell you that the other people that appeared to be Amazing Race teams were at the American Airlines counter once I got into the airport. I didn't see which counter U/J went to. I did see a male/female team getting interviewed in the airport - which with the teams left makes means it was Ron and Kelly or another sneaky move on Amazing Race...unfortunately, we weren't quite bold enough to snap a picture during the interview & I don't have that great of a mental picture from then, but they were a white male/female couple with dark hair."

-
Rob is smiling...so I think they must have made a flight others did not or have nto yet.
-
Texan_Survivor: I dont know if Amber can out-swim Uchenna or Ron being i dont know there swimming abilities but i do know Amber can swim she was a lifeguard and did decent in all the swimming challenges inn Survivor but i think she does tire fast, that was shown in the first immunity challenges in ASS so that can be why Rob is carring her.
MY Guess on the airport is i guess the Jamaica airport going to puerto Rico becuase didnt RaceyGirl say they got out of cars and UJ pretty much just boarded a flight, there was never a mention on Joyce crying or a race between two teams so i say Rob and Amber get to Puerto Rico first and do whatever there and then all three get on teh same flight leaveing Puerto Rico becuase i believe that is Rob in Ron's picture in the backround. And also UJ were running with like bags and not teh backpacks so i think its after they get hit with a non elimination.
-
Someone posted on another board that Rob and Amber are running in the PUERTO RICO AIRPORT sorry for my bad speculating.
But UJ could be crying somewhere else you never know. We will see.
-
Not to argue because I've been wrong before , this does not look like Rob to me . I guess when the promo comes up we will see more of what he is wearing , I think he has his Khaki zipoff shorts on from what little vidcaps that I've seen ?

OK, here is my best guess on this:
U/J get the flat - we know that already from the preview.
I'm going to go with R/K leaving a clue behind while shopping, probably for lipstick don't you think. Can't imagine R/A shopping. Unless it's also U/J shopping again - this time for something to carry their stuff in since we believe they get mugged at the end of the first hour.
Oh, and I do believe R/A will win it all! ]-{
-
thanks for bringing that over Ottopart , Tarjunkie999 is awesome ..( I have not had time to surf the boards today *8/ )
Welcome MF41 , lol I didnt even think of R&K shopping for lipstick & backpacks .. and yeah it looks like U&J get the flat tire ..and yeah I think Romber can win the whole race ]-{ .. off to surf the net and keeping my fingers crossed that TAR updates the site soon :<(

This is new spoiler starting at TWOP.
[So who wins The Amazing Race? You might have red about them, but I wouldn't bet on it. All I'll say is that it's not even close. The final two teams get so beat they're black and blue. /b]
Poster by the name of Prior Walter. Peeps already solved the riddle. Dude is saying he knows Romber win. Going back to TWOP to watch the show.

Keep it coming Ottopart |#'
I cant recall if anyone posted this so I'll bring it over because all spoilers are off and open for speculation and discussion .

"Possible MAJOR Spoiler... "
I ran across this blurb in Sundas New York Post Gossip section.
(ww.nypost.com) hit "Gossip" it's in Elisa somthings colunm. Here is the blurb:
May 1, 2005 -- SOUNDS like the families of "Amazing Race" stars Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich - who wed April 16 in the Bahamas beneath a cloud of confidentiality agreements - are mad at CBS for taking over all the arrangements.
Their wedding, for which the couple sold the TV rights to CBS, will be aired as a two-hour special on May 24, titled "Rob and Amber Get Married."
"It's really hard on the family," Rob's brother complained recently. " is in charge of everything. They make all the decisions."
And apparently the lucky couple will be "surprised" with a house from Mariano's father as a wedding gift. Or will they? Sources close to the couple say that Mariano, who got $1 million for winning the TV contest, actually purchased the house from his father, and that CBS helped with cost.
Just a little more "reality" for your televisions, it seems.

Another one to muddy the water but this one says Romber do not win. I saw this last week over at sucks while the Madbananarush spoiler was being bantered about.
My boyfriend works for CBS. He knows the outcome of the race, but was sworn to secrecy. After nagging him for a long time he finally gave me the folowing information : -
Romber will be in the final three but will not win. M/G won't make it out of England.
Missbehavinalot posted it and as you can imagine it was flamed because it contradicted the Madbananarush spoiler. But as every one now knows, missbehavinalot was correct.
-
This is new spoiler starting at TWOP.
[So who wins The Amazing Race? You might have red about them, but I wouldn't bet on it. All I'll say is that it's not even close. The final two teams get so beat they're black and blue. /b]
Poster by the name of Prior Walter. Peeps already solved the riddle. Dude is saying he knows Romber win. Going back to TWOP to watch the show.
Hmm maybe Romber do win being they are seen on airplane alone, and not seen in Puerto Rico going to Miami while RK and UJ were. So to me either they were just not seen, are ahead and come to a easy win, or are way behind.
Didnt Lynn and Alex say they were pleased with the outcome in a interview?? So that i think hints to RA not winning?? But i dont think they would be able to say something like that i dont know.
-
This is the only other post at TWOP Prior Walter's posted so far:
Haha, ok. Well, I won't go the riddle route. Rob and Amber win. And yes, I'm new here, so I understand with that comes skepticism.
As for Lynn/Alex saying they're happy with the winner? Don't look too much into that. Afterall, what would they say? "We're pissed with the winner!" That would certainly give it away. They're not THAT stupid.
And it's not a close race here. Not at all. Not sure how editing will show it, but planes and trains won't make a difference here. U&J start the race with a disadvantage, and never recover. And from what I've been told Ron & Kelly actually ended their relationship before the last leg, although don't look for that to be shown. Wish I knew more like places and tasks, but I don't. So I won't take offense to people questioning this, I would too.
-
I want Romber to win (%# , i'm sorry Romber fans but I do not feel the lovin for U&J or R&K |#'
This certainly maybe why after all these months that since the race officially ended there is so much animosity and hatred for Romber" Still" from the other teams }^! }^!
-
I hope the TAR producers (or whoever) learn a lesson from this season NOT to let contestants from other reality shows participate again - unless they meet our approval :)*. I agree with M/G that the rest of the racers were at a disadvantage because of R/A popularity around the world. I will be thoroughly disgusted if they do indeed win. ,.( :/
-
I disagree just for the fact that so far, the only person who knew that romber where romber was that african girl.
IN india and england i don't even think surivor is on so nobody would've known
-
The only ones who seem to be bitter about Romber are Lynn/Alex, Patrick, and Gretchen and these people had a problem with Romber in the first place. They are probably mad that Romber placed higher than they did. Yes the race has been over for like 5 months and the bitterness could have worn off but could have started up again because the show focused on Rob and Amber, the media always talked about Rob and Amber, they are getting a wedding. These teams never had a chance to shine because of Rob/Amber being on the show. I have a feeling that some teams feel hurt how the media wants to talk about Rob/Amber all the time and I would be feeling angry no matter how they placed first or second or third. It is just not fair
Why have we not seen bitterness from Ryan/Chuck (yeah I know first), Megan/Heidi, Debbie/Biianca, Ray/Deana
Can anybody explain why Brian/Greg are not bitter towards Romber because Romber did not have the heart to even stop to see if they were all right. Since they have a reason not to be nice towards them but are.

Hey, not everyone in the world watches Survivor. What Rob does so well is meet and befriend people. He has found at least one person in almost every city to help him out. (Of course, Amber's cute little smile doesn't hurt). And Rob certainly has studied previous TAR's and knows how the game is played. And, and this really shows how smart he is, what other teams member takes the time to have certain set phrases (such as, please drive as fast as you can) into the local language? Other teams just bemoan the fact that not everyone in the world speaks English, Rob alone does something about it.
-
More from the new spoiler Prior Walter at TWOP:
easjer, I understand. Like I said, I know this will come with a lot of doubt and skepticism, as should all spoilers. Coupled with the fact that all I was given was pretty vague on the actual events of the race, and mostly behind-the-scenes information. No one has to believe anything. Just remember it next Wednesday morning, haha.
One thing I will say about the finale is, of course, the first leg is a non-elimination leg, with U&J coming in last. But to make things fair, there is some airport bunching, but U&J pretty much get screwed there and never recover. In the end, they're about 2-3 hours behind the other teams.
Also, I'm told that those who feel that Amber isn't pulling her weight, may change their minds. Apparently she rocks the roadblock.
-
the guy does seem to know what hes talkign about, but then again, so did mbr [^/
-
Well, it seemed to me they were on a lot of magazine covers that show up everywhere. You didn't have to watch Survivor to know who they were. [^/ I do agree that Rob plays the game well, but at this point I am sick of them. _}{

EVERY MOVE, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY DECISION AND EVERY STROKE OF LUCK CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BATTLE TO THE FINISH LINE FOR THE $1 MILLION, ON THE SPECIAL TWO HOUR FINALE OF "THE AMAZING RACE 7," TUESDAY, MAY 10 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK
"5 Continents, 25 Cities and more than 40,000 Miles!" -- Three teams compete in the last legs of the race ending in one team winning the one million dollar prize, on the special two-hour finale of THE AMAZING RACE 7, Tuesday, May 10 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
After 40,000 miles of travel, Teams reach the last city and one of them becomes the one million dollar winner of the Race. Along the way, the final three Teams are neck and neck, racing in their taxis to the next location when one Team’s taxi gets a flat tire. Another Team is at the mercy of strangers when they are forced to beg for money. Also, a team makes the crucial mistake of leaving a clue behind while shopping at a bookstore.

Very good points, gman.
Rob is definitely a people person...a communicator! He sees opportunities, draws from them & uses them for their gain. I must admit I don't want Romber to win for the same reason as most others: they won Survivor. But, must give him credit for "doing his homework", strategizing wisely & moving smoothly thru the game (for the most part). I hope potential future TAR teams, are paying attention to Rob & will implement similar methods. I betcha past teams are watching and saying ohhhh... |( ....so THAT'S what we shouda done to advance further & maybe win!!
Romber is a great TEAM not only due to Rob's sharp tactics, but b/c they're such a compatible couple! It's refreshing seeing them working together instead of bickering & badmouthing over petty stuff as we've seen in past Tars.
I am quite sick of Kelly. I wish she'd shut up & quit being so petty and defensive. Gee, Ron can't say anything thing much to suit her! If they're still together, hope they're in counseling. If not, they should be!
Now that M/G are gone, I'm rooting for U/J. They are a great team and compatible couple...kind, loving, caring.
They need the money the most too!! Goooo U/J... })}

"TAR Spotted Filming Last Week"
My friends were in Jamaica on vacation last week and spotted TAR filming at a resort there. They saw three teams (at least one was a male/female couple -- not Rob & Amber ) do either a roadblock or a detour (involving hitting golf balls to a specified area). They said the third team was far behind the other two (like five hours).

I'd like to read that article Bluetickmaggie , I dont recall Brian & Gregg having good things to say about Romber .
Puddin did you ever read Brian and Greg's JAM interview where Greg's states that everybody deserves to win and that includes Romber. They have only gotten slightly negative about Romber because they were just dissapointed that Romber did not see how they were doing at the pit stop after the accident and that they stuck to themselves. They don't go all out and flame Romber like Lynn/Alex, Patrick, and Meredith/Gretchen(blog) have done. They also did take the high road on the Early Show when asked if they were upset that Romber passed them when they had the accident and they said they were not. This says to me they are not bitter or hold a grudge against Romber like some of the other teams have been doing. They had no reason to hate Romber before the show since they did not know who they were and thought Rob/Amber as another team. If I were them Puddin which I am not I would have flamed Romber to high heaven for passing me at an accident scene but they chose not to. Puddin to me they have taken the high road unlike some of the other contestants. And Puddin aren't you excited to see them make a cameo appearance on the Final episode since you miss them.
Puddin don't you think it hurts the other contestants to be pushed aside by the media because all they want to know is about Rob/Amber, or that the show focused on Rob/Amber and that they are getting another reality show. These contestants that are bitter towards Rob/Amber are just feeling hurt. It was all about Rob/Amber and they never got to shine.

All, I just reviewed the betting spoiler here http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show/CTVShows/1111083841265_9/
I then went to the web site given in the article http://sportsbook.com
I can't find any place to bet on a reality show like The Apprentice, Survivor, American Idol, etc. Can anyone find where to bet? I only see sporting events. The web site doesn't appear to be a place to accept reality TV show bets.
-
I just had a thought after reading, again, that U/J want the money for IVF.
What if Romber win but give the $$$ to U/J for that - after all, they are really in it more to WIN than for the $$$. It's the competition thing. Plus they won all those prizes. Maybe at the end, they decide being the champions is enough and give at least some of the $$ to U/J. And that will make the wedding special of Romber even more enticing to an audience during sweeps month!
Just a thought, not a spoiler.... [^/

Thought I would bring over another post from last night at TWOP from Prior Walter:
Prior Walter, MBR on Sucks was fooled by a source. I'm not trying to be rude, but how can you be so sure that your source isn't messing with you as well?
Hey. Well, I'm new here, I don't know the MBR situation, but my source (that sounds so dramatic) is pretty reliable. They've proven true to me in the past when I was obsessed with this FOX show that he was a field producer on a couple of summers ago. I'll admit, this is the first time I'd weasled some TAR spoilers from him, but I'm confident. Confident enough to post it on here. But again, I understand the hesitation to buy into any kind of spoilers. You're never sure until you see it for yourself.
Just to let you know, this is Prior Walter's original post and I copied to my hard drive before going to bed. Prior Walter edited it almost immediately. "He" is now a "she" and network mention (FOX) is removed. Did Prior Walter edit it because he/she revealed to much of the source or did Prior Walter think by editing it, he/she was more convincing? Is the source yanking Prior Walter's chain? Is Prior Walter yanking our chains? ..to be continued.

Bluetickmaggie I'm not one to argue so what can I say ? Gregg & Brian were a great team to bad they didn't get farther . I read some where ( not sure where ) that they are doing a comedy show or something so maybe they will get their time to shine afterall ?
Pedaler

MF: I had the same thought some time ago. My dream is that Rob and Amber get to the finish mat first but then step aside and let Uchenna and Joyce actually get on the mat first and win the money they desperately want. Thus Rob and Amber can honestly say that they WON TAR7 by reaching the mat first. Technically they would be right and such a gesture on their part would really add credence to Phil's early interview that TAR7 was indeed "the most memorable of all TAR's" And such a gesture on the part of Rob and Amber would certainly change many people's negative opinions of Rob.
I can dream, can't I?

Gosh, I think that's highly unlikely. LOL. I'm on the Romber love train, but not quite that delusional. LOL. Not that I don't think Rob isn't capable of an act of kindness, but he wants this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo bad, and if it were a close race to the finish with U&J, his highly developed sense of competition would propel him to that mat first. Now, if anything, I can see a possibility of them saying "as winners of TAR,we would love to *help* U&J get the procedure done, cause we think they're such great people...."

Preview is up over at cbs.com
-
Amber's "I Can't Run" at the beginning of the new preview makes me think even more that she gets hurt. It didn't sound like an exhausted I can't run - she sounded like she was in pain. I think the clip of them running with Rob's hand on her back is before this and he is helping her along.

The link for sportsbook is

you think click on the "sportsbook" link. Then using the drop down menu click "entertainment".
The Apprentice and Survivor were up a while back. Now Big Brother is there.
Hope this helps.
-
You can see that amber isn't hurt in the preview, her I CANT RUN, is because she is so exhuasted from the road block.
Near the end you see her fully running, without limping OR anything, she probably just gets so tired that rob carries her. B:)

Latest post from Prior Walter at TWOP. Someone was questioning Prior Walter's source and this was his/her reply:
Just wanted to add to this: That is true, but I'm 99.9% sure I'm not getting duped here, and I received this information actually before Tuesday's show, because I was curious about it being a NEL, so therefore bugged my friend a little bit for some info. (It took 24 hours to register here, otherwise I would have posted it sooner.)
And if I weren't sure, I certainly wouldn't post it, I wouldn't be able to deal with the shame of being wrong. Haha.
My friend was adamant though, that Rob and Amber are far ahead in the end, so creative editing may make it seem closer than it is (apparently this has happened other seasons, but this is my first season watching). I'm also told that Ron actually ended his relationship with Kelly off-camera in the last leg, and Kelly all but gives up.

Thanks for the updates Ottopart ..have some popcorn I think I'll go enjoy the show with you *%#

"TAR Spotted Filming Last Week"
My friends were in Jamaica on vacation last week and spotted TAR filming at a resort there. They saw three teams (at least one was a male/female couple -- not Rob & Amber ) do either a roadblock or a detour (involving hitting golf balls to a specified area). They said the third team was far behind the other two (like five hours).
Something is fishy here. If the team that is supposed to be Romber is running five hours behind, how in the world did Uchenna and Joyce get mugged in Jamaica and not Romber?
And if the Roadblock deals with hitting golf balls, I guess Amber will have to do it since Rob has used up his six roadblocks. Too bad, since he is suposed to be good at golf.
-
I am already getting nervous about the final show!!!! I really hope that ROMBER wins but if not UJ.
-
Hope everyone's having fun. This is the last show for a while. }}{
Though I'd post a link to a map of Jamaica and identify potential areas of interest:
http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/jm/jmmap.shtml
Kingston Airport is at G15
I've seen three possible location for the raft poling location
Great River B4
Martha Brae River B7 (empties into sea at Falmouth)
Rio Grande E17 (my guess)
Port Antonio E18 (opening sequence)
Ocho Rios C12 (other sites ID this as jump roadblock)
One note about the golfing in Jamaica spoiler. During TAR5, there was a New Zealand airport spoiler. The spoiler listed 5 teams, the first team included a mysterious blonde. Many thought the blonde was Mirna. But there was no first team. But the other four teams made it to the airport in the exact same order as the spoiler. I'm bringing this up because maybe the third team, five hours behind, in the golf spoiler doesn't exist. But the first two teams did.
-
Pedaler that makes sense if the other half of the detour is the raft which we've only seen Rob and Amber on. My only concern is that both Rob and Amber like to golf so why wouldn't they take it.
My ideas for why Rob and Amber wouldn't do the golf detour:
1. It rafting is closer to the clue box
2. The specifics of the golf challenge leave it very much up to luck (I.E. hit a floating/moving target) or the number of times you must hit the target is high and therefore takes a while
3. R/K and U/J both take golf and Romber see the rafting as a way to get ahead.
-
3. R/K and U/J both take golf and Romber see the rafting as a way to get ahead.
Traegen, That would be my guess. R&A are in attack mode. Amber has taken a lot of crap during the race but she didn't hestitate at all when Rob suggested taking the earlier flight to London when they weren't guaranteed a seat to London from Frankfurt.
In fact, I think she was more confident than Rob.
-
Going to add more of Prior Walter's comments from TWOP:
Okay, I understand all of that. Maybe I shouldn't have posted what I was told. I admit it was selfish, I was excited to have some inside info and really wanted to share what I'd learned. But, and I feel silly defending myself here, I didn't do it for "accolades" or to impress anyone. Is that the only reason people post spoilers?
Eh, maybe I shouldn't have posted. Sorry if I come across as "trolling" as someone said.
But I do want to respond to some of the speculation about the PR airport, and me saying that the race isn't close. I mentioned earlier that the PR airport is actually the first stop after the NEL, and all of the teams experience slome slight bunching there, hence the teams being spotted there at the same time. From there though, Rob and Amber establish a lead that the other teams aren't ever able to diminish.
This is a question by dummypants:
So are you saying the actual NEL happens in Puerto Rico and the next clue says for them to go to the PR airport? It just seems like the NEL would happen in Jamaica.
Prior Walter's response:
I'm not going to lie. I have no idea. I do know, that after the NEL and first pitstop, the next stop is the airport, and I was ASSUMING that those pictures are from then, and from what I've read through here, the airport there is in PR. I only know PR and Jamaica from reading this board, as I was told nothing about what cities they travel through. So the airport they go to after the NEL was pure specualtion on my part based on that picture and what I know from my source.
This was a question Jettrue asked of Prior Walter:
You say here that the first stop is "after" the NEL... are you saying there is another stop between London and Jamaica? or did you mean to say "Puerto Rico" is the first stop after the NEL leg... I was assuming that the NEL leg is IN Jamaica? Just wanting to clarify.... do you have any idea of the ending city?
Prior Walter's Response:
jettrue, no you're right, I just misstyped.
/b]
Another question by ABJ:
Prior Walter, as ABJ asked in an earlier post, do you know the final city? Also, who comes in 2nd?
Prior Walter's Response:
No clue what the final city is. In fact, cities I'm pretty unclear about, hence my confusion about the city that the airport is in after the NEL. I'm assuming its Puerto Rico, though. But I wasn't specifically told anything about task or cities, which I'm sure is just fuel to the fire of the skeptics. :P
I'm assuming Ron and Kelly come in second, as I was told specifically that U/J are far behind the other teams.
-
Regarding the potential golf challenge (roadblock)
The Three Palms Golf Course, nka Cinnamon Hill at the Wyndham Rose Hall Golf and Beach Resort, the course is one the top courses in the world. It has famouse 8th Hole, which doglegs onto a promontory Point the goes 200 yards out into the sea. The 15th Hole is next to the waterfall that was featured in a James Bond movie. This in Montego Bay ,Jamaica.
Both of the above, would be a very good filming area to use.
My other theory would be Negril Hills Golf Course, someone said here earlier that the "Junte" cars are exclusive to that area of Jamaica.
Plus Negril is stated as away from the hussle-bussle. Plus I think on one of those vid-caps the Little Bay Inn is shown which is also in Negril.

We all know Rob and Amber win this because CBS and TAR producers have rigged the competition for them to win. By making the tasks easier this year for them, by having weak competition for them, and the ferns that so happen to magically appear for them when they are in trouble or when they want help. This season of TAR was actually suppose to be one long promo commercial for their wedding. I can't wait till someone spills the beans about the rigged competition so CBS and The Amazing Race can go down in flames. Amazing Race used to be a good and pure show but now it has turned into trash, it is a shame CBS only cared about Rob/Amber and did not cared what happened to Amazing Race.
-
How can an entire show be rigged for one team? Not seeing it!!! As Rob has said all along there is an element of luck in this game. Rob and Amber could have been eliminated at any time. When Rob quit on the food task for example. The fact that they are competing has brought many viewers to the show! I fore one began watching TAR this season because I liked Rob and Amber on Survivor. I will continue to watch now because it is a GREAT SHOW.
Go ROMBER
-
I do not think the tasks were changed because of R/A I think they were changed because of the way some people preformed them in the past. Liekt he bowlign moms getting to final 4 only to not be able to climb the mountain. I think it was to even up the fields for everyone.
And there is alot of luck on this show, which detour you take and how you do it. Also other contestants in the past have had help in their tasks by the locals. If they could not get help they could not take the money from the people at the elimination rounds.
Also they changed the rule on how many roadblocks a person can do because a past winner won because the strong man did all the roadblocks.
And like Floridagirl said people have been watching due to Rob and Amber that have never watched it. Also you would not have had some of the drama from the other teams if it was nto rob and amber. ANd I do think if it was another strong male/female or male/male team at the top right now that got lucky ~ people would b!tch about that too.
yes rob and Amber have been on reality tv and AMber won 1 mill, but they have competed in this race and I think have done well. they have also taken chances and done things different then others in the past.

Okay then why were Alison and Donny eliminated second??? Why wouldnt have been rigged for them??
Some people really need to realize Rob and Amber are good racers and deserve a final three spot, if you think they should not have been in teh final three then neither should CC or KJ. If RA come in first in one of teh last two legs they will tie CC for the record of most first places. And Rob and Amber are great tv lets face it this season was theres had they not been on it, it would have been boring.
And FYI the producer DID NOT want them on the show so why would he have rigged it for them, someone high up at CBS got them on but thats all he could do. The prodcer said that he didnt even want to make them the "starts" but once they got to like Africa and all team were against them he knew it was the Rob and Amber show. And he said its no RA fault becuase theys tayed to themselves its the other teams fault for making them such a big deal.
-
Hey, we are getting way off the subject here. This thread is not to praise nor criticize any race team. There are seperate threads for that.
Here we are trying to figure out where the teams are going, what they are doing there, and why they are flying around the Caribbean without rhyme nor reason, or so it seems.
Let's keep our nose to the grindstone here; go over to sucks or some such place if you want to bitch and whine.

Well because Alison/Donny were not CBS's crticial darlings, since Rob/Amber have been on Survivor twice CBS would do anything to help them out.
There have been other teams that have been more entertaining than Rob/Amber - like Ray/Deana because of their bickering, Ryan/Chuck because they sounded like Australians to me, Brian/Greg their famous footraces, carcrash, hysterical exit, Lynn/Alex the gay couple, Meredith/Gretchen the team that could. But all these teams are gone replaced by boring people. In fact I think Brian/Greg left more of an impression and were more entertaining so they will be remembered when people look back on this season than Rob/Amber's scheming/dirty tricks have been all season. Brian/Greg, Lynn/Alex and Ryan/Chuck should be in the in final three not boring couples Ron/Kelly, Uchenna/Joyce and Rob/Amber.
If there is an All-Star Season of Tar hopefully the TAR producer will have enough balls to put his foot down when CBS mentions Rob/Amber.
-
Once again, this is not the thread for this kind of discussion. Please take it elsewhere and let us concentrate on figuring out why the teams are travelling from London to Florida to Jamaica to Florida to Puerto Rico to Florida to Las Vegas.
-
Thanks GMan! {{{}
-
Gingerman, why Las Vegas? I hadn't seen any spoilers about that.
-
Interesting Las Vegas??????
Well if they did end in Las Vegas on the 18th of December, how convenient. A great place to hide the racers that day. There was big Race that day, pre-holiday Santa run 5K. How clever would that be, who would even notice some people running to the mat, great place to get lost among all the other actual racers. :)*
-
Well, not that this helps much but I can tell you where they did not go: LAX
I just remembered that I was there on the 18th. Specifically from noon to 3 pm at Terminal 5.
Any other Holiday travellers out there? We could create a destination by elimination!
-
Lucy, Chateau: You're something else
Las Vegas, since it would be a tie-in to Travelocity's promotion on the cbs.com Amazing race website
New York, since there were possible decoys the day before.
Either would be good since it looks to be a night time finish (lots of lights in both places).
-
I just want to say one more thing and then get back to the spoilers
TheBlob- Once Rob and Amber are on the race CBS can not make them win, they can get them on but once on its out of there hands. If it was rigged that is against the law and the show could go off the air. No Way would it be rigged for RA specially when the producers did not want them there.
And you can think RA were boring but nobody is talking about BG, LA, MG, ect its teh Rob and Amber show and you can think what you want they made they biggest impact there is not other way to put it. LA were annoying and jealious of RA there werent funny at all. BG were meatheads. Meredith and Gretchen were great but you know what they lost. At least we have some cut throat teams in teh final three that want to win. Had it been BG/LA/MG it would have been boring!!! And all lovy dovey.
Everyone i am sorry for going off topic but TheBlob saying it was rigged for Rob and Amber to win just infuriated me and i had to say something becuase he is wrong. He obviously does not like them and does not like they are doing good so has to say its rigged to make him feel better.

Just bringing over a summary spoiler post from Prior Walter from TWOP:
I mentioned earlier that I don't know anything about the cities or tasks, and I'm not gonna pretend to. What I know about the cities comes from looking here on this spoiler board. I didn't even know they were going to Jamaica and Puerto Rico until reading it here.
I'll post a summary of everything I got from my friend:
-Ron and Kelly ended their relationship prior (ha!) to the final leg.
-Kelly subsequently struggled with keeping her heart in the race.
-U/J are last in the first leg of the finale, and lose all their money and their belongings
-Rob and Amber establish a substantial lead in the last leg
-Amber rocks the roadblock
-U/J make a time costly error that they never recover from
-Rob and Amber win, and it is not close
-
Hey Never0102 there is a cameraman and some inside sources that say otherwise, there will be a big bomb that will drop after the final episode airs. Get ready for it.
Never0102 how ____ are you, Rob and Amber are still on the show so people are going to talk about them.
-
What do you mean there will be a big bomb that will drop after the finale, get ready for it?
Sounds like a poster who didn't get over the fact tomber made final 3 yet ]][ (%#

Hey, we are getting way off the subject here. This thread is not to praise nor criticize any race team. There are seperate threads for that.
Here we are trying to figure out where the teams are going, what they are doing there, and why they are flying around the Caribbean without rhyme nor reason, or so it seems.
Let's keep our nose to the grindstone here; go over to sucks or some such place if you want to bitch and whine.
Exactly , there are plenty of threads below that you can state your feelings for who you love or hate or whats fair and whats not *whatever* and flaming other posters by calling them names is not allowed , if you want to flame a team please do so in a differerent topic , not here .
Back on topic: not much to add , I just saw a short promo .. lack of challenges just flashbacks of the remaining three and a clearer close up shot of Ron jumping from the bridge like structure }}{ .

Got that right geeze some people need to get over it. They were on the race, they are in the final three! We need to get passed that its been what three months on the race already we need to honestly give them a break and stop saying its rigged so they do good just becuase people dont like them.
Anyway back to spoilers.
I am a Rob and Amber fan and if they do win that great but i just think the UJ win is just so much more "inspirational" and Phil would make it his fav. season unless he liked Rob and Amber of course. Uchenna and Joyce shaved there heads and that = good luck. They have never won a prize and the first prize they win the jackpot, and plus the enter the leg with nothing and come out on top i just think UJ winning would just make the best show.
I am sure the guy at TWop has a great source but i am going to have to trust the betting thing on this one, i mean he might be right and more power to him but i think the UJ win would just be so much better and didnt Phil say in a interview this season was "inspirational" or i am just thinking of a wrong thing.
The only thing against UJ i think is in this weeks Entertainment Weekly in the Must List is says "Former Enron and World Com employees Uchenna and Joyce (above) seen to be the faves to snag the big mil. In-Ter-Est-Ing" Now i dont know but does this mean they will one or loose, last week Rob and Amber we in the must list and came in first place the next leg but there was not mention of winning in there blurb. Charla and Mirna, and Jon all Al were also mentioned and in the next episode they lost. But i dont know i just got the vibe that they lost from this little blurb but we will see.
-
I hope rob and amber win, but if uchenna and joyce win id be fine with it... just NO ron and kelly please god. _-^

I have been trying to nail down a loose end:
Could the clip of happy R&A seated in flight be their trip from London to Jamaica?
From AirWise, the flights from London to Jamaica on Tuesday, December 14th were these:
Flight Dep LHR Arr KIN Connect (wait) Flight Aircraft
BA0207 9:45 am 5:05 pm MIA 2:35 hrs DL8864 744/320
BA0207 9:45 am 5:09 pm MIA 2:40 hrs AA1733 744/738
AA0057 10:20 am 5:05 pm MIA 1:45 hrs DL8864 777/320
AA0057 10:20 am 5:05 pm MIA 1:50 hrs AA1733 777/738
JM 0002 4:25 pm 9:20 pm MBJ (8:10 Arr) 1 stop 340
And for Wednesday, December 15th were these:
Flight Dep LHR Arr KIN Connect (wait) Flight Aircraft
BA0207 9:45 am 5:05 pm MIA 2:35 hrs DL8864 744/320
BA0207 9:45 am 5:09 pm MIA 2:40 hrs AA1733 744/738
AA0057 10:20 am 5:05 pm MIA 1:45 hrs DL8864 777/320
AA0057 10:20 am 5:05 pm MIA 1:50 hrs AA1733 777/738
BA2263 10:55 am LGW 2:30 pm non-stop 777
JM 0002 12:50 pm 5:45 pm MBJ (4:35 Arr) 1 stop 340
Using SeatGuru (http://www.seatguru.com/sitemap.html) I found that, with only one exception, none of the aircraft involved in these flights has the 2-4-2 configuration in the main body of the plane. The exception was the Airbus 340 of Air Jamaica (I looked at the Airbus 340 for Air France on the Guru site).
So it’s not yet a certainty that the promo clip is their flight to Miami. That clip could be them on the December 15th flight to Jamaica (can’t be the 14th due to daylight coming in the windows). But, since that light is coming in the right side of the plane the plane must be flying north in the morning, east in the mid day, or south in the late day. That kind of rules out a mid day flight from London to Jamaica. I’m leaning toward the flight to Miami.
One thing that would also help to figure this out is the uniform type of the flight attendant and the decor of the cabin. Wouldn’t Air Jamaica’s be different from American Airlines’?
-
That kind of rules out a mid day flight from London to Jamaica. I’m leaning toward the flight to Miami.
I'm leaning toward a flight to San Juan. Rob and Amber are wearing the same clothes in every original vidcap. Whether it's Jamaica or Puerto Rico. That could mean that they fly to Jamaica and then fly to Puerto Rico where the pit stop is. If the NEL pit stop was in Jamaica, I think Rob and Amber would have changed their clothes.
-
About the much debated "Rob" in the background of the Ron pic:
Over at Sucks (page 165 of the spoilers) there is a pic of Rob in San Juan airport wearing shorts! So the guy in the background of Ron's pic is not Rob (unless he changed his pants before getting on the plane but they look like they are in a hurry so I doubt they'd waste the time)
-
I really don't think that this is a flight from London. The people seem very "dressed down" and typical if they were leaving the cold of London that day. And Rob and Amber are dressed very lightly (Amber has her "a" tee shirt on and Rob has shorts - not exactly the stuff you wear in London that morning, and the clothes do match the Puerto Rico airport shot of them running toward the AA gate. So my guess is that this is a American Airlines flight from San Juan SJU to Miami MIA.
There are a bunch of other flights which I didn't bother to note before, but it could be that the flights listed by Chateau all land just before sunset at 5:33PM which doesn't leave much daylight to do any of the tasks we see them doing in daylight, and there are other flights leaving later in the afternoon and early evening which with connections arrive around noontime the following day which would give them plenty of time to complete two or three tasks before darkness sets in. We have one shot of Ron running up to what may be Fort Charles in Kingston after dark.
And I think that they must catch flghts from London to Jamaica on Dec. 14. Arriving after dark they would have to wait to the morning of the 15th to start. If they actually have a 36-hour pitstop in London and fly out on the 15th they would be pretty hard pressed to complete tasks in Jamaica on the 16dth with pitstop. Then fly to Puerto Rico on the 17th to complete another Detour and Roadblock and get to the PR airport early the morning of Dec. 18.
-
_-^ I just knew that could not be Rob ..he's not that short and the pants did not fit the bottom to well </] what a coincidence though ... red shirt and ball cap ?
(http://img23.echo.cx/img23/9258/tar7finale243dj.th.jpg)
-
The only way it will be him is if he changes into black pants sometime in the PR airport.
:]GO ROMBER :]

GOLFING SHOWN ON FUZZY VIDCAPS
]#* ]#*
Need some help, do not know how to capture pics. under google images
use golfing jamiaca pics
look in 2nd row Hole No. 17 The White Witch Course matches vidcap.
BINGO!
-
They are speculating at realitytvworld (http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID37/1142.shtml) that the Regis & Kelly interview could indicate that the final pit stop might be at a Disney location. Maybe Disney World in Orlando? A poster there says Rob and Amber will be there Tuesday night through Friday, which wouldn't make sense if they had to be in NY for The Early Show on Wednesday (which all teams do, not just the winners). Would The Early Show do a live interview on location at Disney?
-
So, that's where the Jamaica spoiler comes from. Since there is a big gap between teams there, I guess it must be close to the end of the leg.
-
Don't the teams have a Media night on tuesday in NY? Wouldn't Romber have to be there ?
btw~
Meredith and Gretchen will be on CNN at 10:45 E/T
-
puddin what day will they be on cnn
-
NOW
They look wonderfull and still insist that Romber got help alot , also they really didnt know that R&K were not getting along in their relationship untill they watched the show .
-
hehe, i saw it...
hmmm they seem to think that rob and amber "got all the breaks"
-
Hey Chosenone, its because its true. They were getting help from the producers during the race, and thats why the win because of the rigged help.

"M/G Local TV Interview"
RE: Local TV news interview with M/G on Wednesday.
Hi, I am a longtime reader of the boards but this is my first post. I live in the same local viewing area as M/G (the Eastern Shore of Maryland) and saw them on the news Wednesday. Thought you all might be interested in what they had to say. Could be possible spoiler towards Rob and Amber win. The interviewer asked would they be looking forward to the final episode, and they said yes because it has been difficult to keep silent to their family and friends. Then the interviewer said, "Will it bring you closure?", and Gretchen said, "Well I wouldn't say that and then something about how they weren't satisfied with the ending. Then they asked if they had any regrets, and Gretchen said they had a few personal regrets and some sour feelings about how things turned out, but that they wouldn't have traded the experience and about how everything was so beautiful and how nice the people in other countries treated them. Just from the way she was talking and the things she said it made me believe she was talking about a win in a way or by a team she didn't agree with. Rob & Amber maybe? But she could also be talking about seeing the harsh comments made about them by Ray & Deena and others that they wouldn't have known about until they saw them on TV. I can see why their feelings might be hurt. Maybe they will talk to them again after Tuesday night's finale. They both seemed very nice and Gretchen wan't half as "screetchy" or wired up as she was during the race. Stress must really get to her. And on a final note I would like to add: RUN Ron RUN and don't look back or you may turn to stone.
-
How do you know this? Did Rob and Amber run over your dog or something? GEEZ!!!!
Can we please discuss spoilers?
-
Posted over at Sucks:
Phil Keoghan was on 104 KRBE in Houston this morning and he said it was a very close footrace to the finish.
Footrace I take as the finish actually being close not like in TAR 5 where it was said the ending was close but it only looked close because they edited out the flat tire.

Puddin - I believe the poster at blows is refering to a different interview. Because here is the transcript from the CNN interview from last night. Doesn't say anything like the poster a blows was talking about in regards to the regrets.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LIN: Reality television, who remembers when the news was reality television? Well, those days are over and the "Survivors", the Donald wanna-bes, "Big Brothers" and "Biggest Losers" all redefined TV as we know it and made bona fide stars out of -- well, "Average Joes".
Case in point, Gretchen and Meredith Smith, they won legions of fans racing around the world. But they are sadly, the latest casualties of "The Amazing Race".
But, you know what, history making. You guys are the oldest people to make it to the finals. How does that feel, Gretchen?
GRETCHEN SMITH, "THE AMAZING RACE": Oh, gosh, it feels just wonderful. It really does. We were hoping to make it past the first episode and it is almost unreal that we've given everybody 10 episodes to watch of us.
LIN: You know, you are 66 years young, to be honest with you. Because hanging from that rope ladder, we had video of you earlier. And you Meredith, you know, the stunts that you ended up doing in India. What was the story with that elephant? You nearly had a heart attack pushing that elephant up.
Anyway, I heard that this go-for-it attitude that you guys have, Meredith, really has a lot to do with the fact that you found love late in life. And you just decided, you know what, no holds barred. Is that true?
MEREDITH SMITH, "THE AMAZING RACE": No holds barred. We met this way and we've continued to be this way ever since our first date.
LIN: So what was your strategy going into the race then?
M. SMITH: Well, in the beginning our strategy was that old age and treachery would outperform exuberant youth. But we were only in the race about five minutes when we found that the treachery part wasn't us and we really had to just get in there and work hard.
LIN: All right, Rob and Amber, the winners of "Survivor", another reality show, seemed to really have, frankly, the advantage. They went around the world. Did it seem to you that they got a lot of help because of their celebrity? How do you feel about that? G. SMITH: Well, we didn't really see a lot of this until -- I mean, we didn't see this while we were doing the race, but now that we've been watching it every week. They've had a lot of help. They almost have personal guides taking them all through their detours, which is something we haven't had. They were recognized everywhere. They just seemed to get all the breaks.
LIN: Get all the breaks. What do you think was the toughest task for you?
G. SMITH: For me? I think the hardest one was probably coming back after I had fallen down in the cave and my head was wrapped up. I had kind of a mild headache and after our clothes were all taken from us and our backpacks and our personal belongings coming back and making a wonderful attempt in the bush country. And coming in, I believe it was fourth or fifth.
LIN: Ron and Kelly, the couple that is I think is still in the running. They seem to bicker all the time, Meredith. Is that creative editing by the producers or is it pretty representative of how you found these couples to be?
M. SMITH: Well, we didn't find Ron and Kelly like that at all. They were very genuine people around us. And although we knew that Kelly had a motive to find out how strong the relationship was at the beginning of the race. We had no idea what was going on inside those taxi cabs.
LIN: Uh-huh? What about you guys? Meredith, what did you learn about Gretchen? And Gretchen, what did you learn about your husband in this "Amazing Race"?
M. SMITH: Well, quite frankly, I didn't learn anything. Gretchen and I took a long time getting to know each other before we married. And there was nothing new. I hadn't seen her in action doing some of the things I felt quite confident that she could handle.
LIN: Uh-huh?
M. SMITH: But once we got in the race there were no real surprises. I knew she was one tough cookie.
LIN: You bet. Meredith? I mean, excuse me, Gretchen?
G. SMITH: I didn't learn anything new about Meredith. He's always been the strong one in our relationship. He's always given me security and comfort. He was tremendously patient with me. He calls himself Saint Meredith of Infinite Patience, actually. And I'm always the one ready to jump into something. And he takes his time and is more analytical about things.
LIN: We're going to bring you guys back for Valentine's Day, but surely no exotic vacations ahead for you two, I imagine.
G. SMITH: No.
LIN: Home sweet home.
M. SMITH: We'll look forward to that.
LIN: Thanks so much, Meredith and Gretchen.
M. SMITH: Thank you. You're welcome.
G. SMITH: You're welcome. Thank you.
LIN: Up next, advice for mother's from "The View's" Meredith Vieira.
Still looking for the interview the poster at blows is talking about.

Thanks Traegen ..a foot race to the finish :] !!

Race relations
May 5, 2005
Reality TV's winning couple line up for another pot of gold. Ellen
Connolly reports.
One website screams: "Rob and Amber: an amazing disgrace."
And from another: "Rob is a liar and a cheat and is changing the way the race is played."
Survivor's glamour couple has certainly stirred things up on the latest series of The Amazing Race, which begins this week on Seven. "People either love them or loathe them," says the show's New Zealand-born host, Phil Keoghan.
Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich have been labelled greedy for trying to win another $US1 million ($1.27 million) from another reality show, but they've proved ratings winners in the US and Keoghan hopes they'll have the same effect here. "They make good television," he says. "It's no use having a show where everybody is nice to each other, respectful of all cultures. We're not making vanilla ice-cream."

re: Gretchen unhappy with the finale
Well, it could be more smoke-blowing from Gretchen (she told her family some untruths about the outcome). I still have hopes that U/J pull it off. I would love to wake up Wed and hear everyone saying "The betting spoilers never lie."
Rob needs something to wipe that smirk off his face.

Posted over at Sucks:
Phil Keoghan was on 104 KRBE in Houston this morning and he said it was a very close footrace to the finish.
Footrace I take as the finish actually being close not like in TAR 5 where it was said the ending was close but it only looked close because they edited out the flat tire.
Phil also said for AR6 that the show was blessed with another close finish and it wasnt that close. Eveyone expected a foot race to be a close and it was not footrace. Its kind of 50:50 some teams say KJ were close others say even without the train KJ were not even close like 20 min behind. Victoria even said with the train KJ were 40 minutes behind and in no way is that close.
And lets face it had it been a foot race we would have be told like in the previews for AR2. Sorry but i think there is no way going to be a foot race. And i f it was one Rob and Amber would beat UJ anyway, so it could be close but more like a AR3 close not a footrace like AR2.
-
I think most of the country got that same interview with Phil this am. Ours here in Cleveland area was WDOK, wihich is owned by Viacom, who of course also owns CBS. The reference from that Sucks person, may have his call letter wrong there is no KRBE in Houston but there is a KRBV.
All the interviews, were probably the same, just CBS giving us the same hype for their show. Not that I didnt enjoy it, mind you. But certainly not like PHIL called all these stations personally all morning long. Even Phil must have some life, you know. :)*

Lucy- Did you hear the interview? If so, did Phil say it would be a close "footrace" or "close race"? Lots of discussion at sucks and TWOP regarding the wording?

There is a difference btw close finish and foot race to the mat. What AR6 had was a close finish btw K/J and F/K, but Phil is stating we have a foot race of AR7 not a close finish to the mat. Take for example the footraces we have had this year the ones btw R/C and R/K, B/G and M/H, B/G and R/D. one more could not hurt either. I don't think they mention it in the previews because they don't want to give an exciting finish away. They don't want to give some secrets away from the final episode.
-
I was somewhat preoccupied, but I really dont recall the "foot race" quote being used. I am waiting to see if local radio station puts the transcript up. I'll let you know.
-
Actually talked with the station here, WDOK, it was a live phone interview in Cleveland by Phil to our local DJ's, it was NOT a feed from CBS to many stations, according to the people at the station. He was in town awhile back, promoting his book, and familys for the race, and met with these same DJ.'s.
So it seems like maybe PHIL arm is a little tired, making all those calls this am.
btw, they did say they would NOT be putting a transcipt up of the interview.... now I wished I had paid closer attention. |(

There is a difference btw close finish and foot race to the mat. What AR6 had was a close finish btw K/J and F/K, but Phil is stating we have a foot race of AR7 not a close finish to the mat. Take for example the footraces we have had this year the ones btw R/C and R/K, B/G and M/H, B/G and R/D. one more could not hurt either. I don't think they mention it in the previews because they don't want to give an exciting finish away. They don't want to give some secrets away from the final episode.
FK and KJ were close but not as close are AR1, AR2, AR3, or AR4 it you pan it up to other seasons it was not as close as others.
I think Rob and Amber do win and this is why. ROn and Kelly were seen as the only team on the flight but they were seen with UJ at the airport. We know UJ get mugged and could have been not reconizable as a team and thats why they were not seen on the plane with Kelly and Ron. Rob and Amber would have been noticable because they are from survivor and would have had bags, so its safe i think to say Rob and Amber were NOT on Ron and Kelly's flight.
The only other senario is that only Uchenna and Joyce make it on the flight with Rob and Amber, and then its a close finish.
-
I hope that Rob and Amber way out in front. However, for those who believe in the betting spoiler you observation would make sense.

Just putting some ideas forth to contemplate instead of the dust in your navel, unless it is Amber's navel and then you can contemplate all you want.
The biggest question in my mind is: Why do the teams seem to backtrack through Florida from Jamaica to Puerto Rico? and then a day later high tail it back to Florida again. Something is fishy here, so it may be that the producers have arranged for some small unlisted puddle jumping island hopping airline to ferry the teams from Jamaica to Puerto Rico. We do have scenes of Uchenna and Joyce (alone without any other team in sight) in front of the AJAS LIMITED position at the Kingston Airport (KIN). Maybe they just missed the first flight. This is similar to the situation in Botswana.
ROADBLOCKS: We can only have two since each team member can only complete six. Rob has done his six so Amber has to do the next two; Ron will complete his sixth with the water jump and Kelly will have to do the last one; Uchenna completes his sixth also in the water jump and Joyce will have to do the last one. Setting up an all-girl finale.
The water jump (it is not a bridge but some other type of conveyor that they jump from) is certainly one Roadblock with Amber, Ron and Uchenna all jumping.
What is the other Roadblock? The limbo which is done where? The golf drive which seems to be still in Jamaica.
DETOURS: Most likely at least two. We think we have CRAFT or RAFT which is either to build a raft or steer a raft down a rapidly moving river to spot some flag for the next clue. It looks like Uchenna and Joyce are ahead of Rob and Amber scrambling down the river bank, but change their minds about trying to steer that flimsy craft down the river by only using pole. They go back up to work on building the a raft along with Ron and Kelly. Meanwhile Rob and Amber swiftly complete the task and again gain a lead over the other two teams.
There should be a second detour, but maybe this is being held out for the Puerto Rico leg.
The water jump and the raft or craft task do not appear to be on the same day. Although Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly are dressed the same just before the water jump and raft/craft, Uchenna at the water jump has on a yellow shirt and Joyce has on a white shirt. At the raft/craft Uchenna has on a white tank top and Joyce is now in black.
Strange that we see Rob and Amber afte the water jump, and we see Uchenna climbing over the rocks all wet and meeting Joyce who is holding the next clue in her hand. But nothing of Ron or Kelly. I assume he did not drown in the attempt, but this certainly would break up their relationship which is rumored to happen during the first hour.
One more puzzle: RaceyGirl has established Uchenna and Joyce entering the SJU airport (they supposedly drove up in a black SUV but not visual confirmation of this) In this pix Uchenna has a yellow long-sleeve shirt on. Joyce has on a sleeveless white shirt. All well and good as this is how they were dressed when we last saw them. BUT in the other sequence of pix which some say also are at the San Juan Airport (American Airlines baggage claim area) Joyce is now dressed with black shirt although Uchenna is still in his yellow shirt and is holding the same black plastic bag (with belongings) This could be them arriving at SJU from KIN on the later AJAS LIMITED arranged flight. Joyce would have time that night to get rid of her black shirt (its hot even in December in the islands) and return to the SJU airport the next morning.
Time Frame:
Dec. 13 - Fly from Istanbul to London, complete London tasks, PITSTOP - POSSIBLE 36 HOURS (Makes sense to rest everyone up for the final two leg rush. Espcieally the camera crews who are going to be lugging all that equipment around in the hot and humid Caribbean)
Dec. 15 - Fly from London to Jamaica (either direct on Air Jamaica or American via Miami) Could do a task or two in London before leaving meaning they may be on overnight flight and arrive the next morning in Jamaica.
Dec. 16 - arrive in Jamaica and proceed with Roadblock (water jump with team all bunching up at opening of the mine or whatever)
also do Detour: Raft or Craft. Proceed to Montego Bay and complete Golf task which leads to Pit Stop at resort pictured in flash intros. This is Non-Elimination and Uchenna and Joyce arrive last and are mugged and stripped by Phil./
Dec. 17 - Proceed to Kingston Airport and get on special Ajas Limited flights from KIN to SJU. Proceed to do other tasks and end up at Morro Fort at night to complete Limbo task and receive departure times for the morning. Amber aces the limbo and Rob and Amber have huge lead on the other two teams. Ron and Kelly arrive late at night. No idea what happened to Uchenna and Joyce; did they even make it to Puerto Rico?
Dec. 18 - Rob and Amber arrive at SJU two hours ahead of the other teams and get on early American Airlines wide-bodied jet to Miami. Believe that they connect to another flight to the final destination which could rumor has it at Orlando Walt Disney World (but that is ABC affiliated so why would CBS want to promote it???) or as rumor has it because of Travelocity tie-in to Las Vegas.
This is just wild thinking so go ahead punch all kinds of holes in it. I don't mind. But lets try to come up with some kind of game plan before tomorrow night. I will mind if this turns into another damn Rob and Amber sort of thing. This is not the place for that. Damn me but not them.
-
/#} }^{ Thank God ! Gman I was hoping that someone would attempt to put some sort of scenario together and I knew we could count on you ( I was waiting heehee ) . I'm motivated and am off to look for some answers ( I'll leave the time tables to the pros ) I wish we had clearer pictures of the Limbo and Fort but will try to work on some of these structures , whatever .....Oh and LMAO ^/^
But nothing of Ron or Kelly. I assume he did not drown in the attempt, but this certainly would break up their relationship which is rumored to happen during the first hour.
-
What if the Limbo task can only be done at night. Teams arrive in the late afternoon and have to an HoH stop them up. Maybe there is a whole beach party layout to the limbo complete with Tiki Torches and drumming

Hello I got a question.
Is the finish line assumed to be Miami?? I mean werent two men seen in New York and cant they have been decoys or has New York been put down as totally flase.
Being a New Yorker i would be humiliated to have Miami done in two seasons of the race and NY get stuck with only one season, i mean Chicago had a whole season to itself, California has like alot of starts and finishes i am like when will they come baqck to NY!!
-
Sorry about all that, got called away just as I started.
Some new stuff to ponder (as if we don't have enough already)
On the north side, the other side from Kingston, Ocho Rios is an important area. It is here that the Reynolds Aluminum Co built their 6.3mile conveyor system to move bauxite ore from the mountains to the ships in the harbor. They also built a long pier which is now used by Cruise Ships when the main pier is full.
In this area there is an interesting possiblity which came up when I was trying to find pix of the conveyor system which may be the site of our famous high dive antics of Ron, Amber and Uchenna which by the way do not go on the order they are edited as the order in which they dive. Perhaps our Chateau expert can pinpoint the time by the amount of sunlight or lack thereof.
Anyway in this area two tasks could be done as part of a DETOUR: Drive a Raft on the White River where Calypso Rafting has there bam-boo rafts located or Drive a Ball at the nearby Sandal Golf Club of Upton. Just a wild guess that the Golf and Rafting may go together since both could be located nearby. And the dive location may be in the same area also.
Two more things about Ocho Rios: there is a reconstruted old historic fort in the area, and it is known that Limbo parties are held at night on the beach where Dunn River Falls meets th Ocean
A trek across the island from Kingston might cause trouble with flat tires and police stops. And I forget, did we locate where Little Bay Inn was located on the island. Could they be passing there on the way from Kingston to Ocho Rios?
-
I've been looking for that Fort for along time GMan ..no luck at all , I didnt know they limboed there !!
Also its very hard to find the Reynolds Ocho rio area ..its touristy so all the pictures are resorts and such , also I was in the Appelton area looking for sugar plants but again the pictures are rare .

there is a little bay inn in Negril (cant find a picture, to match that stucco wall, with the Name shown, where the cars on stopped in the screen cature) i think i remember it being described as a bed and breakfast, and picture of the actual house looked somewhat victorian.
there is a Divi Little Beach Resort down there also, but again cant seem to find that stucco wall, or sign thingy anywhere on their site [^/
-
I cant find the wall either Lucy {l{ , as a matter of fact photos other than resorts and beaches are rare ..I never knew Jamaica was so small and do not think I will visit ...again .

To add , while in Jamaica today I did read that Reynolds took over the fort and they were fixing it up or something *(^ , to bad I didnt think to save the link .

I have masses of info regarding golfing in Jamaica, cant believe that golf area shown is a Sandels Course, I stand by my theory that it is the #17 Hole on The White Witch Course, it is very famous hole, and that rock cropping seals it in my humble opinion. :(*8
-
puddin you and I probably know far more about Jamaica at this moment then we care to admit, sure we have been on many of the same sites today. I spent the good part of the day, trying to locate confirmation about that fort? shown in the Ron pic.
I looked thru all the unnamed vidcaps, from all over, trying to find something.
And Bamboo, dont get me started on that....i'm reeling here =]/

Lucy - Here is the information. I'll just copy it over here.
Now that all but the final three teams have been
eliminated from this season of The Amazing Race , I
won't be spoiling any of the plot by revealing who was
among those final teams. So without further ado, I can
now share this account provided to me just after the
final episode was filmed by reader Steve Fabersur:
==================================================
On a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami
Florida on December 18, 2004:
Onboard in coach: a couple dressed in nearly identical
light blue outfits with backpacks, videographer
(broadcast quality Beta cam), soundman with baffled
fishpole mike and separate audio tape machine. In the
forward cabin, about a half-dozen production staff
types. Upon arrival the couple dashed down the aisle,
through the jetway and toward the terminal building,
shooting all the time. (The cameraman collided with an
oncoming catering cart as they rounded a blind
corner.)
This was the only couple being filmed on this flight,
but that makes some sense since, per the published
shooting schedule, they would have possibly been down
to the final three at that point.
[Additional comments from Steve this week:] I knew
from the opening episode. It's Ron and Kelly. And they
were wearing the powder blue shirts they were wearing
when then had to dump all their possessions at the end
of last week's episode. Now, how the race moves from
Istanbul to San Juan, Puerto Rico ????????????.
Here's some further info. Ron and Kelly were the only
Amazing Race couple on the plane. The flight was
delayed, and they really hustled bolting through the
terminal. (As a matter of fact, if you see them
barreling past a fabulous-looking middle aged couple
dragging rollaround suitcases behind them, that's my
wife and me).
The interesting thing is that the camera crew shot
very little stuff prior to the flight. You would think
that they would pick up shots of them in the gate
area, fretting over the delay, plus shots of them
boarding the flight, but the only time the camera was
turned on was during the flight (they were many rows
behind us, so I don't know what the shots were), but
the flight attendant got on the PA and ordered them to
stop filming. I'm led to believe the possibility that
Ron and Kelly were eliminated in tonight's episode,
and that the flight from San Juan may have been their
return flight home (or to the finish line) and that
the filming taking place was a series of "pick up"
shots that could be used anywhere else in the race
they needed shots of them in their airplane seats,
running through a concourse, etc.
One little bit of trivia. When I asked Kelly what they
were filming, her response was "A travel documentary."
I would be willing to be that that is the stock
response they are instructed to give to such
questions.
-
The part that bothers me, is the mention that they had "backpacks",hmmmmm If they were stripped on their stuff in London, they wouldnt have any of that. I know we have the "spoiler pic" of Ron in Puerto Rico (in shorts, talking to the two guys, who we think are sound guy and other) But he only has that small backback. Maybe they begged enough money to get one for Kelly too.
He also mention that Ron and Kelly flight was delayed from San Juan, so it should be somewhat interesting to see which flight they were on that was delayed, which might cause them to "raaaaaace" to maybe have to make a connecting flight.....then we can maybe get a clue to where the final mat is. I think I heard it was an AA flight from San Juan.
Any of you that are more adept at the airline schedules, delays and such, could check that......I myself do better research on places and things,LOL

Don't have the time in my head, but what time did we figure that RaceyGirl took her picturres in SJU? If I remember correctly we made it that she left on the AA1350 at 12:55 and we assumed that Ron and Kelly were still in the airport when she left. So this would make the sighting of Ron and Kelly on the flight leaving at 10:35 or 11:15 hard to reconcile.

Didn't she say she saw them around 9:40am? TAR contestants often get into an airport and leave on the first plane out which could be just an hour later if there are seats available...
-
Will go back and check, but that sure looks like the REYNOLDS ALUMINUM PIER in Ocho Rios where they are jumping from. That would make more sense for the other tasks to be done in the same area. The taxis have to make their way from Kingston across the island. Will search out location of the Little Bay Inn to see if it is on the way.
-
Didn't she say she saw them around 9:40am? TAR contestants often get into an airport and leave on the first plane out which could be just an hour later if there are seats available...
It was 9:40 EST. She didn't change the clock in her camera so it was 10:40 a.m. in San Juan.
I would ask the guy what flight he was on if I knew what board he originally posted the spoiler at? Anyone know?
-
ok, so that would make it tight but possible for them to be on the 11:15 flight then.

I need to work on this some.

go out for a little while and now more stuff to investigate
Note, that Little Bay Inn I think is in Negril, there is a Divi Little Bay, dont think it is that, unless that signage is at the entrance, since Divi is a resort, could be. It is located in town of Little Bay, which I believe, south and east (other side of western part of island) of Negril.
Both Puddin and I have trying to locate some confirmation of that sign shown in the preview shots, havent been able to do it yet.
Forget that Divi reference, confusing it with something else.

Studio 23 airs 'Amazing Race 7' finale live
THE world is waiting. But will it be the cocky reality show vets, the battling daters, or the scrappy underdogs taking the prize home on the seventh edition of the globetrotting audience fave The Amazing Race?
Studio 23, home of the world's biggest reality hits, has the loyal fans' back once again as it becomes the sole Philippine network to air live the two-hour season finale of the Emmy-winning "The Amazing Race" live via satellite Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. A primetime broadcast of "The Amazing Race" finale is scheduled for the following two consecutive Thursdays, May 12 and 19, at 7:30 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.
It's a nail-biting fight to the finish for the final three teams on this final leg as the teams prepare to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the current stop in London, England for the show's US$1 million prize. But as the teams prepare to find the finish line in North America, fans are torn as to which teams to cheer for.
There's Survivor All-Stars vets "Boston Rob" Mariano and Amber Brkich, who have ridden a wave of canny plays and incredible good luck to reach the final three. But whereas there are fans who appreciate how the calculating duo are changing the way the Race is played, there are critics of their win-at-all-costs attitude who say that Mariano and Brkich have taken the heart out of the game. But will the Survivor pair's luck hold - or is karma just a plane ride away?
Even more polarizing is the duo of Ron, a former Prisoner of War, and his girlfriend Kelly, a pageant queen. While the team can be competent, many are bothered by the constant sniping between the two. Particularly bothersome is Kelly's barbs against her boyfriend. But will the stresses of the final leg finally burn out the last of Ron's patience?
Last is married couple Uchenna and Joyce, who ran the race in order to afford fertility programs so that they could have a child. Luckily for the two - who have been portrayed all throughout the race as unequivocal good guys - they seem to have gotten a spell of good fortune after a undergoing a good luck ceremony in India that resulted in Joyce having to shave her head. But will the two get to finish the race as winners? Or will the cradle drop unexpectedly on the good-guy underdogs?
Get the score on "The Amazing Race" as soon as America does as Studio 23 airs the seventh season finale live via satellite Wednesday starting at 9 a.m. (PR)

That spoiler on TWoP doesn't even know what side of the toast his butter is on. The Amazing Race is telecast in the Philippeans "Live" at the same time it is telecast on the East Coast of the US. While it is 9:00PM here it is 9:00AM there WEDNESDAY MORNING. So the program has NOT ALREADY BEEN TELECAST IN MANILLA by satellite or any other means.
And the poster is so MISLED by the inclusion of the shot of Rob and Amber in front of Fenway Park which is used in their "bio" pix intro to the program. I guess he has never ever seen the program to think that this is a NEW shot of Rob and Amber.
The trouble some people go to to make us think they are smarter then the rest of us. Shame. Shame.
Now sad to say, the GMan has got to sign off. The Chicago Symphony unkindly scheduled their concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington for tonight. The other half of this equation says no way will we miss this concert featuring a Mozart piano concerto and Mahler's great Ninth Symphony. So my VCR better work tonight. Good luck everyone. It should be a great show tonight and it will be interesting to see how far off and misled we all have been this past week!

The rafting course is 8 miles
The Detour is Raft or Craft
Kelly and Ron discuss which one to do
It looked to me like Rob and Amber are behind Ron and Kelly at the clue box for the detour
~ all from preview on ETalk Daily
-
Do you think the " Jump" is near the Raft or Craft Traegen ? was it on ET tonight ? Oh just saw it...Looks like R&K do break up and then will one wrong move be the end for a team or something and it shows Rob looking for the path or whatever up to the bridge/platform whatever (%# .
If the bridge/platform jump is the 1st roadblock 1st leg then yeah I think Ron & Kelly are ahead of Romber or if its the second Roadblock ...oh never mind all will be answered in an hour or so {l{
-
I was wondering how close raft/craft was the the jump. I thought at first it could be really close but then the jump is near the coast (if it is Ocho Rios) and the raft is 8 miles long so it has to be a minimum of 8 miles from the coast.
