The Amazing Race will be back! Although fans are still waiting for word of an official renewal from CBS for our favorite series, TAR 18 is apparently a definite GO!!
Plans for TAR 18 seem to be well under way. The next season of TAR will reportedly include a group of former racers from Season 12 onwards, and may already be completely casted. At least one round of "final" racer casting interviews has already occurred.
With the lack of any official TAR 18 applications, it has been widely speculated online for months that TAR 18 could be an "All-Stars" of some sort. While that term is not being used officially as of yet, it IS clear that we are going to have another chance to see some of our favorite (and perhaps not so favorite racers) in action again!
Filming is expected to begin later this fall.
LAX sighting!
2 redheads
2 asian men
2 goths
Erwin and Godwin, are both from TAR10...This race involves only teams from seasons 12-17
If asian guys are Michael and Kevin,I remember someone said Kevin said he will film with Harlem Globetrotters this weekend ,mean Harlem Globetrotters on race?
Read TAR Speculation thread...Peach has information that states it involves teams from 12-17 only, and that 1 season may have been overlooked!
a source that must remain a secret for the good of allRead TAR Speculation thread...Peach has information that states it involves teams from 12-17 only, and that 1 season may have been overlooked!
Where did peach get that information???
Here are our speculated TAR 18 TEAMS! :hearts:

For completeness sake, I will also say there have also been persistent rumors of a non-TAR team from another reality show being included in this race. I hope they are all just rumors... But the names that kept reoccuring were those of Hayden and either Lane or Enzo from BB, and of course, the ubiquitous Russell. :res:
There is a Globetrotters event in Orlando on the 27th of this month at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. There is a 50/50 chance that Flight Time and Big Easy could be there or not.
I second that.
Why not just have the whole cast of season 14 come back? :res:
I just wonder they will choose two father-son teams.
And very surprising to see Mel & Mike as Mike just got a deal for a new film to direct about a week ago.
As I mentioned on the contestants thread about Flight Time and Big Easy. With the Globetrotters being in Orlando on Nov27 and the race already started today, there is a little or no chance of them going on the race again.

Not all the trotters head out for every show. I saw one (At the state netball centre, Oh the irony) and neither Flight Time nor Big Easy were present.

Just keep thinking that......they can field 3 different shows at one time.......and usually do. All performing in 3 different cities on the same night.
A 21 day race will end on Dec 10 and a 22 day race will end on Dec 11.....TARcon is on Dec 12.......hmmmm... A west to east route.....I bet the finish line is around NYC somehere........that way Michael/Kevin and Gary and Mallory and Phil, BVM and Elise can be at the Finale party before TARcon......you heard it here first.....lol

That's solid speculation, but WRP better have the finish line under lock and key to avoid it being spoiled.
If there's any chance of them going to China (shanghai) please email me so that I can look for them!
Another question: do you know if they've left LAX yet? That could help figure out which flights were taken.

The deluge started at approx. 6:30 PST, so I'd be surprised if they were still here.
I strongly suspect Australia is first stop.

Can we stop condemning Season 18 before they even reach their first destination?
Here are the flights on Qantas leaving tonight (within the next 40 minutes). NOTE: The first time is the scheduled time, the second is the actual time.
(http://i51.[banned image hosting site].com/fw5egn.png)
The estimated arrival time of the Sydney flight above is 9:01 AM (Sunday at 2 PM in LA, 5 PM on the east coast US).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are flights that left for Sydney during the 10 PM PST hour (possible that there was an earlier flight for some teams on a different airline). There are no other flights out of LA to Sydney tonight (so the one above is the last one).

UA 839 is estimated to arrive at 8:33 AM (Sunday at 1:33 PM in LA, 4:33 PM on the east coast US).
QF 12 is estimated to arrive at 8:00 AM (Sunday at 1:00 PM in LA, 4:00 PM on the east coast US).
DF 17 is estimated to arrive at 9:01 AM (Sunday at 2:01 PM in LA, 5:01 PM on the east coast US).

MODS: MOVE THIS TO THE CORRECT THREAD IF IT IS IN THE WRONG PLACE. THANKS.
Prob not, he is not in Sydney...
Yes, we believe they are going to Sydney. :hearts:
Kynt and Vyxin asked in book store for Australia books.
Prob not, he is not in Sydney...
If I started driving now, I'd be there in time to catch a few hours nap before teams arrive. But Monday morning carries with it work related commitments, unfortunately.
Doh. I was editing that before you posted, but let it be publicly known that I'm dumb. :lol3: I have those episodes running in the background as I'm typing right now.
Poland! I still think they should go back. Mostly because I'm there in December and I have a faint hope of stalking.
Ya Poland!
*OFF TOPIC*
since there are few f/f teams, i think that a f/f team won TAR17
I know we are just speculating, but guys we have no clue where the first destination is. Australia would logically make sense, but our fantasy routes usually don't happen. We have to keep all possibilities open, and not just come to a conclusion that its Australia.
Any sightings in the Sydney area would be starting about 8 AM Sydney time, 4 PM EST. So Sydney friends, keep an eye out all day Sunday!!
QF 12 10:25pm-8:00 am
QF 108 11:50pm- 9:25 am
Are these the two flights? The first had to stop in Honolulu for some technical reason...
I'd say
QF 108 100% likely
QF 12 50% likely
DL 17 70% likely
VA 2 2% likely<<<<good PHIL flight :lol:
UA 839 1 % likely
I do think that there will be 2 legs in Australia, and a leg really close to Australia, (ie Indonesia or New Zealand), take season 13, 14, 15, 16 into example.
Is this an all-star season?
Is this an all-star season?
It is a season of "former racers." What CBS will call it when it comes time to promote it is anyone's guess. We have heard the term "2nd chance race."
If the route of TAR 11 is any guide vis-a-vis the places those participating Racers had been to prior to that season, there may be return visits for some of the teams. (Oswald-Danny had been to Hong Kong for TAR 2 and again for TAR 11.) I do not think we can assume that none of those venues visited by returning teams won't be included this time.)
Does anyone know where they will proceed to after Australia?*
My spec only.......
TAR 18....probably the two Qantas flights, since they are both codeshares with American Airlines, a sponsor

Welcome to RFF Oddarane! :waves:
The best thing to do is just keep reading the spoiler threads, anything we know will make its way there!
Just a historical recap......
TAR 12 ????
TAR 13......two flights to Brasil.
TAR 14......two flights....one to Zurich, one to Milan
TAR 15....???
TAR 16......two flights to Chile.....but all teams ended up on one, due to problems with plane and jumpy racers.
TAR 17....two flights to London
My spec only.......
TAR 18....probably the two Qantas flights, since they are both codeshares with American Airlines, a sponsor
I thought the racers, when they are sequestered before the race, are forbidden to use electronic communication devices except during the race when they can book flights/travel arrangements?
:duno:

Just wanted to say, American Airlines is no longer a sponsor for the race. That changed when Season7 aired, the sponsorship is now with Travelocity.
American Airlines doesn't own Travelocity. If it did, why would Travelocity list airlines that are American's competitors (United, Delta, USAir) then? Travelocity is not owned by any airline!!

since the start was at night, i think the starting line was indoors :duno:

If It was started indoors, I would guess they started at the Staples Center.
Yes. Exactally Kiwi..
And people tweeted the sightings at the airport around 6pm Pacific.
So it could have taken them awhile to actually send the message to twitter.. Especially if they are working at the airport, etc.
Currently i am just searching ... "airport" near:"Sydney" ... in twitter haha
me too
Check Sydney Airport website...there's the most updated
Here's a link to all Sydney and NSW traffic cams! Keep a look out for the marked cars! lolCheck Sydney Airport website...there's the most updated
Is there a webcam?? :flirt:
Here's a webcam at Bondi Beach - I doubt we'll see teams but at least it'll make you feel warm on a sub-zero night.Here's a link to all Sydney and NSW traffic cams! Keep a look out for the marked cars! lolCheck Sydney Airport website...there's the most updated

I think China's fair game as well, since they didn't go there in TAR 17.
[/qu
I guess Hong Kong could be considered different enough from some of China's less explored regions, but TAR17 did go to China.
China and India are always fair game, they might even do both. I just think it's India's turn. Unless they do Australia/Indonesia/South Asian country and skip India because it would be the fifth or sixth leg in the same type of climate and they want to go for some variety and not spend half the race in the same (vast) neighborhood. Sadly, given the time of the year, Kazakhstan will probably still not be featured on TAR.
Peach, is this info eminating from FB/Twitter...this is clearly the best place to ask...Live Sightings hell no guys!!I think we shouldn't compromise our source...for all we know it could be puddin doing field work :lol:
And that answers it, for the people who think Live Sightings is neccessarily the right place. Peach, I think they just wanted to be in on your spoilers! Having a go at detecting!

Roadblock to search for a chest maybe
So the next leg should start around noon tomorrow?I'm going for a double leg in Australia. Teams could stay in Sydney or go on a 6am domestic flight? NZ is a chance but its going backwards in the route considering they are going in a Westerly direction :duno:
Important disclaimer: There is no such thing as a 12h Pit Stop anymore!
I'm in Melbourne if they come down here!!! :tup:

2.25am in the morning, if a 12-hr-pitstop....I hope someone can find where they're off to next...If NZ (Auckland etc), I'll be there
I'm in Melbourne if they come down here!!! :tup:
I doubt it since it was visited on Season 13.

no, that was Auckland
wow, I can feel for the editors and all the work they have to put in to sum up all of these events in less than 50 minutes of footage, hopefully we'll get another 90-minute premiere
K&J arrived at Pitstop but ran back...
FB:
Just got filmed and had to sign waivers to be on tv for pointing the goth couple in the right direction on the amazing race Australia. Hahaha
2 minutes ago via iPhone
I am confused. Which team is getting eliminated? Cowboys?
Mel and Mike checked in right behind RonChris, theschnauzers...
But when the first teams arrived, did they rush off again? I thought G/M looked happy etc... Doesn't seem right. If this is a TBC... are they going back to the airport? Or back to Circular Quay?
I guess they would do a TBC so for atleast 2 episodes fans can see there favourite teams.
Oh God, I was hoping for a Pit Stop so I could check in!
I'm mighty exhausted! :lol:
Please go to the airport so I can catch a breather!
Maybe they noticed too many people spoiling so they are trying to put us off! :lol:
We need Peach to confirm if the teams rushed off after they got to pitstop or not.

peach already confirmed this..
the teams would check in with Phil, than would quickly run off.. At first im sure people thought the Team might have made a mistake and had to fix it, but alot of the teams started doing the same thing
Quick recap of check-in times from Peach, bracketed teams are unconfirmed.
1431h: LaKisha/Jennifer
1438h: Zev/Justin
(Amanda/Kris, Gary/Mallory)
1459h: Herbert/Nathanael

1509h: Margie/Luke
1514h: Ronald/Christina
(Mel/Mike)
1532h: Kynt/Vyxsin
(Jet/Cord)
Edited: Herbert/Nathanael timing fixed, thanks Kiwi.
No, Michael and Kevin were somehow mistaken for Ronald and Christina!!!!
No, Michael and Kevin were somehow mistaken for Ronald and Christina!!!!
Lol, so Michael and Kevin are there. Thank you :) I am new here and still getting used to everything. Y'all are awesome here!
OMG this is the spoiler leg of the century!! :jumpy:
do we know if Jet and Cord have checked in yet?
No. Michael and Kevin were only THOUGHT to be on the race because of Kevin's mysterious posts on Twitter
and an eye witness at LAX Airport saying they saw "2 asians" or "2 asian men"
so people assumed it was Michael and Kevin when really it was Ron and Christina
Dr. Rox, it sounds as if there's been a detour and a roadblock on the first day, and so, the TBC makes better sense. Phil hasn't given out clues, except for a TBC in-leg mat situation, and that is the only thing that makes any sense.
Meanwhile there's that item just re-posted in this thread that the observer said was a team from two seasons ago -- as TAR 17 is currently being aired there, is it possible that was a reference to Jet-Cord; is it possible the source didn't see them reach Phil? I'm not saying they aren't last, just that they made it without the source seeing them.
Second, I suspect the entire uberleg will be in and around Sydney. The last time TAR was there, it was technically only a half of a leg (there was a detour in Hong Kong first and the roadblock was the famous "Slang" roadblock in Sdyney. The city more than deserves a full leg plus on TAR.
Okay so i am trying to find these locations on a map to see what makes sense..I'd say they got the ferry or Captain Cook Cruise boats back to Circular Quay, then Pitt Street, Pyrmont Bridge (Darling Harbour) and Martin Place all on foot. (No particular order).
So far it seems possible that after Pitstop, teams headed back to Circular Quay (by driving) than had to walk to Pyrmont Bridge which is 4 minutes away from there.. Pitt St. is like a street or 2 over from where circular quay is
Just remember American and Canadian viewers haven't seen the Asian or other regional editions. As far as they are concerned, they've only seen the Race in Sydney from TAR 2.
Oooo ohk just got this info from a friend of mine whose currently at Pyrmont Bridge:
Ok their clue is to find a sculpture called to sail to stop. The guy they asked on the bridge didn't know. He saw six teams. After this they have to get on a plane to the outback.
Hmm, Outback Australia is nice. :tup: The Uluru Rock would rock too (equivalent to the world-famous Stonehenge visit in S17). :hearts: But I hope it's on Leg 2, not here on Leg 1. :groan:
saintpita believes teams are still there atm...
Sounds like a clue to head to the bridge, then to Town Hall Square (where "To Sail To Stop" is), where they pick up a flight time (there's a pun in there somewhere) for the next day...
Seeing as Jet and Cord haven't turned up at Town Hall, do you think they could have been eliminated at the midway point?
Seeing as Jet and Cord haven't turned up at Town Hall, do you think they could have been eliminated at the midway point?
A friend just had a chat to Jet and Cord at Town Hall about 10 minutes ago; said the country was beautiful. I was at the midway point earlier today and saw them arrive, take the clue off Phil and run off again, so they're definitely still in the race!
I'm sorry for bringing this to the table, but what if?
The intended Leg 1 of the race has a true pitstop at Shelley Beach. However, due to certain circumstances (perhaps flight mishap), the race minds have decided to merge Leg 2 with Leg 1 and put a TBC Faux Mat in the middle (Fake pitstops usually don't have a greeter and a signboard on it, but this leg has one). Leg 2 is actually the remaining locations in Sydney that will eventually lead them to a flight sign-up or something to the Outback.

It is possible but doubtful. The delayed flight QF12 was only late for about 2-3 hours, which wouldn't have made a major difference to planning. Also, the Shark Tank from the Manly Oceanworld was fully booked today, meaning that WRP planned for the racers to arrive and do the tasks today.

If I were a betting man, I think I'd be on some very good money tomorrow.
I think this has to be considered a TBC leg, check out Phil's pocket stash. Way to break in the all stars!
This by far is the most spoiled leg in history and means there probably will be never another first leg in Sydney.
Anyhow, if they are going to the outback is it where Survivor was in that area?
I wonder if the teams themselves know that they are going to Broken Hill? (If TPTB pulls a "mystery destination" on them...) :lol:
They should really constantly check RFF to figure out where they're going next!
The first charter leaves now...It's 6:10 over there...

This doesn't quite match up with the reported finishing order of the first leg.
At the pitstop that started the 2nd leg(it was a TBC) the teams had a clue to go back in town and find a statue "to sail to stop" some teams probably got lost.
hahah.. here's to hoping some fans hoping to spoil us, hopped onto the next available charter<3
From all reports, PYRMONT Bridge was NOT easy to find...taxi drivers apparently didn't have a clue.Well its in Darling Harbour, no cars can go there. Its a foot bridge.
Did Gary & Mallory win the EXPRESS PASS or not?
Did Gary & Mallory win the EXPRESS PASS or not?
The main new tidbit I saw was someone who works at Sydney airport saying they helped out a film crew from Los Angeles on Saturday (3 days ago) that was trying to film plane arrivals for QANTAS (so they claimed). He said they didn't seem to know how to go about finding good locations, which he thought was strange.
Looking through my copy of Lonely Planet. Looks like some of these might be in order:
Broken Hill Base, working Royal Flying Doctor Service base
School of the Air, where "tourists are expected to be at the School by 8.15am"
Golf or underground mines (Delprat's Mine or Daydream Mine), as in TAR 2
teams came past of front of SCHOOL OF ROCK.
Gray and Mallory in the lead at 1255.

Hi,
Just think i'll add to this a little since you guys found this thread. This was actually me who met these guys. First of all, I don't work at Sydney Airport, Im just a keen aviation photographer.
Purely from an Aviation point of view,if you were working and doing a shoot for Qantas, surely they would have told the guys where the best spots were. There were 3 guys together, 2 Americans and an Aussie - The aussie guy was driving. The claim that they were looking for good landing and departing shots, but then saw them filming pretty much anything that came in - Qantas/Jetstar/Virgin Blue and Internationals.
The vehicle also had some cards and id's on which were a tad strange for just a crew filming for Qantas, and that they had no approval to be on airport premesis... Just didn't add up!

Saw contestants from the Amazing Race HOPPING down Gypsum Street dressed as KANGAROOS a little while ago...wish I could've joined them! Anyone else seen anything unusual today? xx Tali

is this legit?
One of the Rex charter flights is coming back to Sydney, this will most likely to be empty. The other will likely be used on a scheduled flight.
I cannot find any more charter flights from Broken Hill either today or tomorrow. Rex are the only airline that flies to Broken Hill to Sydney, Adelaide and Dubbo (another regional town).
Therefore, unless they go on one of the limited scheduled flights, I cannot see them using Broken Hill airport again, so maybe a long self drive in a car or a train to their next destination.

There haven't been that many recent sightings and I can't remember one mentioning the cowboys. They're my favourite team lol.
no offense...
Saw all teams get on TRAIN but did not see Phil get on!
The planes left this morning not long after the got in?
So I am assuming an elimination in Broken Hill and another rollin pit stop.

thats what i thought!!!
hi everyone :waves: amazing job everyone so far on figuring out whats happening in the race :waves:
So I am assuming an elimination in Broken Hill and another rollin pit stop.Then why all teams spotted on train ? I think they at least will separate the team who emilinated so that they should not appear with other teams.And it looks like chelleyau finding 11 teams on train.

who decides which countries they're going to? Why there were 17 seasons without visiting Israel??? The all-stars season is the perfect time to come to Israel and as a big fan of the show it's really annoying and very disrespectful to skip Israel each and every time.
Scotland seems like a good place to go to. Does anyone remember the last time TAR went there?
I would enjoy seeing them visit Scotland and Ireland instead of visiting Russia and Germany almost every season.

From the amount of time they were on their previous race, Amanda and Kris appeared to me to be a very competent, capable team. The Blind U-Turn did them no favors, because while they did that other detour task as efficiently as they could, there was no way they were going to be able to luck out and avoid elimination.
I think we'll find that they are still a competent, capable team this time around. I think overall, this is actually a more competent cast than TAR 11, even though there are no winners on it; I have to go back and check how many final three teams were on All-Stars versus this season.
Per DrRox, it does sound like a rolling Pit Stop as we thought, eh? It depends on whether teams are being filmed in Sydney Terminal...
I'll go look at flights for a little while. Having teams pre-booked on one single flight looks strange to me.

Hopefully not. That would be... really boring.

unless you are the owner of the equip
So, the first leg was in Australia and the second one is probably in Japan. Maybe since TAR18 is HD they'll stick to "first world" countries to avoid risking the equipment? ???

According to this tweet the next stop is Japan, according to the team he helped:
@mikey_pants Photos of the Amazing Race contestants heading for the airport. Next stop, Japan http://post.ly/1ExqT
Only if the flight is going to Japan, doesn't mean they are going there for a leg, they could be traveling to the next destination via Japan.
We have seen teams at check in. Would you be able to checkin on a flight leaving in 8hours time??That isnota Qantas ticket counter,it is Cathy Pacific.........Neobie strikes again......lol
It is approx 1:30pm in Sydney, plenty of time to make the 3:00 pm departure.
This tweet seems to confirm Japan.

Yes, you can... however, everyone is assuming they are on QF21 departing 2230 that gets to NRT (assuming Tokyo is next) by 0615 tomorrow.
CX via HKG to NRT leaves about 1540 gets in at 0600.
regarding the the FT and BE video with the cluebox
i heard them say make your way to the next pit stop :D

No Photo evidence but my source Lance (well done to him :hearts:) was on the scene at Central. Teams started the leg ripping open next clue on the Amazing Race mat at Central. Teams seen counting money etc so it must have been the start of the leg(?):looks like an epic footrace on the first leg <3

Somewhere Amanda and Kris were seen.No pics to prove that.
Has anyone been able to confirm teams eliminated ? Please don't tell me Amanda and kris have been eliminated. Is it only speculation at this point ?
I think they won't race in Tokyo,they may fly to Tokyo then fly to other city in Japan.
Maybe find a clue in Tokyo,then take shinkansen to other city?They had Tokyo leg in S15,I think they will change city...

If they are taking the train from Tokyo, I'm willing to bet Kyoto would be high on the list.
I use to live in Tokyo and my cousin's there near Narita. I'm going to try my best to convince him to go to the airport and spot teams for me, even though he doesn't watch the show. :lol:

The problem is that they would've flown in via Osaka to get there, not Tokyo.

Just sent him an message on facebook. Crossing my fingers he'll do it, despite how early it is. :lol:
If they are indeed going into Tokyo City, they might fly in via Tokyo-Haneda(HND) as it is closer to the city. Just a guess. :duno:
Thanks to Neobie, at least 2 teams are confirmed to have taken the 3PM flight viia HK to Tokyo. Many teams may choose this option as it appears that there were still seats available.
:duno:...generally if I know, and can say...I say. :tup:
It's the fourth night and teams still haven't got a single good night's rest yet; they're going for full-blown killer fatigue here!

Really hoping that they come to Shanghai over the weekend- my dad promised me that if they did, we could stalk them :PNow the route looks like China maybe will come again this season...if they come,I think maybe Hangzhou,Nanjing,very close to Shanghai...
From FB:
Just saw the amazing race all stars racing through Central Station!!! Yay Kynt and Vyxsin are back again! Also saw Gary and mallory harassed by school students haha
~43 min ago
Dunno about the first one: maybe at the yacht task?
The second one is at the town hall in Sydney.
It must have a cultural/historical connection... or maybe it was created / custom made for the race then? :lol:
I'm disappointed that they still, by all accounts haven't done any Aussie Rules related tasks. If they want to go for cheap laughs (Think 'Your target is your partners face) and endless frustration, it would really be as simple as making the racers kick a football.
Current flight status:
QF21.....in the air and expected arrival is ~45 min early at this time @ 0530 Toyko time
CX524... awaiting takeoff in Hong Kong in ~2 hours, 40 minutes from now
After consolidating a portion of the reports, it is safe to presume Kynt/Vyxsin, Mel/Mike and Margie/Luke are on the Hong Kong flight. Although given the amount of time they have, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone made it on as well!
It looks like both are arriving at terminal 2. I've been through Narita several times and terminal 2 is QUICK. Chances are the teams from both flights won't even see each other.
When a direct flight is only minutes behind...seems wiser to choose than a connection where anything could happen.
QF21............anticipated gate arrival @ 0539
5:39 eastern time? or Japanese time? Im really confused :duno:
In TAR15, the teams spent the night at a hotel near Narita (?) and then took taxis to the Tokyo Tower Studios near Toranomon.
QF21 is about 45 minutes to landing, still at the gate at 0539
CX524.......no change in status of flight...anticipated arrival is still 0650 Toyko time.
Do we know who got on what flight??
No we dont as of now.
Too add, im surprised no sightings yet especially considering its in the worlds largest city.
Possibly have left the city and to the subrubs maybe? Rural Japan!Do we know who got on what flight??
No we dont as of now.

I know, and if anywhere knows the Race it is Japan. The QF21 teams have been on the ground for almost an hour, surely they have already left the airport.

There is no possible way that they have not been seen by at least one person with a twitter account. Probably even a cameraphone.
It was in the morning. So its possible.
Hi, I'm long time active reader only in this forum.. :) Really amazed with your forum make me hooked!! :)I kinda don't believe the user posting the tweet seen the teams, because he tweeted the following tweet, 2 hours after the TAR one:
just wanna help to translate the sentence from the twitter.. It's in Bahasa Indonesia.. (And from the name, I bet He's also Indonesian :p)
The sentence meant: "This is so dumb.. The racer of Amazing Race said " Tokyo is a Country in Europe" Hahaha.. So Dumb!! :p
So can confirm that they're racing in Tokyo..hey guys! I'd found this tweet from twitter by the name of hilmansiwabessy and this is related to TAR 18! And yes, they're racing in Tokyo, Japan already after Australia and I also need a translation on what she'd said and I think she speak Malay or Indonesian, and this is what she'd said:QuoteIni tolol banget deh peserta Amazing Race, masa dibilang 'Tokyo is a country in europe' hahaha tolski.
hey, who'll do you think gonna said that? I think that will be the title episode of TAR 18 for the Tokyo leg! :lol:

My guess is a double leg in Japan. for thr past few seasons with the excpetion of season 14 either the first or second country visited has a double leg.
season 13: brazil
season15: vietnam
season 16: Chile
season 17: Ghana

Once again the Japanese people will have a glimpse of "Godzilla" again xD
man, they're racing in Japan and they're already in Asia. I wish they could go to my country again in the Philippines since they'd visited here on season 5 and forget about the tragic event on the Manila bus hostage incident last Aug. 23. :tup:
Hi all! I decided to stop lurking and registered. I think I've developed a serious TAR obsession.
So, were that all of the teams spotted in Narita on CX524? Were anyone on QF21? Some have said teams were going to it, but have they been seen come out or actually going into the plane?
It is very possible that they couldn't get seats for QF21, Qantas has a shortage of capacity now that their A380's are grounded.

Yeah, but no sightings of these teams in Japan.
But yes, it's the morning now and hopefully we have a a few lucky fans (any nationality, just has to be in Japan) to spot them in action and share with us the good news. I'm praying hard.

Hey folks,
I run the TAR fan community on mixi.jp, Japan's largest social networking site (soon to lose it title to Twitter). We've been mirroring the LIVE SIGHTINGS thread from RFF over on mixi, and once I posted a note about the SYD-NRT air transit, one of our members decided to go to Narita early in the morning on 11/25 FRI (Japan time) and check it out! He spotted 4 teams coming off of CX524 at Narita Terminal 2 - go read all about it in the LIVE SIGHTINGS thread!
We have not had any live sightings beyond that though. However, I would imagine the next leg will be starting soon?

We can't wait to see! Thank YOU so much for hellping to arrange all this, what a wonderful response!
Pitstops have become flexible depending on the producers' needs/whims...they have ranged from 8 to 36+ hours, so it is impossible to judge anymore. I would like to document a Pitstop for this leg though, or I will be starting to wonder if no rststops is the new twist!
So I am not sure we can safely guess when they might be setting off.
Again, thanks so much to you and all your team, we look forward to meeting more of y'all!

We've been mirroring the LIVE SIGHTINGS thread from RFF over on mixi, and once I posted a note about the SYD-NRT air transit, one of our members decided to go to Narita early in the morning on 11/25 FRI (Japan time) and check it out! He spotted 4 teams coming off of CX524 at Narita Terminal 2 - go read all about it in the LIVE SIGHTINGS thread!
We have not had any live sightings beyond that though. However, I would imagine the next leg will be starting soon?
We can't wait to see! Thank YOU so much for hellping to arrange all this, what a wonderful response!
Pitstops have become flexible depending on the producers' needs/whims...they have ranged from 8 to 36+ hours, so it is impossible to judge anymore. I would like to document a Pitstop for this leg though, or I will be starting to wonder if no rststops is the new twist!
So I am not sure we can safely guess when they might be setting off.
Again, thanks so much to you and all your team, we look forward to meeting more of y'all!
Thanks! Hats off to Kuni who went ALL THE WAY to Narita before going to work on Friday! He probably took a good 3 hours out of his daily schedule just for us!
And we over at mixi are having as much fun as you guys are! I don't know if anyone else would be able to make to Narita again, but one of our members pointed out that the Haneda airport has recently beefed up its international service, so if the teams are headed to other parts of Asia, that may be the preferred port of departure. Haneda was the Tokyo International Airport before Narita opened in May 1981(?), and is much more convenient if you have to get from Tokyo to any of the East Asian or Southeast Asian destinations.
The Narita sighting by Kuni was great because you guys provided lots of lead information, and there's plenty of time to react once you find out about a 16 hour flight. But now, since we don't have any leads at this point, it's all just "up in the air" (no pun intended).

That's a great tip about Haneda, we can look into that.
Thanks a lot to you guys for doing all this work! :tup: We'll just keep hoping you can get a sighting.
One possible location may be Taipei Taiwan. Around 1 month ago, the route from Haneda to Taipei Sung-shan started and currently Taipei is hosting the Flora Expo, which would make good scenery, especially since they're filming in HD. There are also many flight from Haneda and Narita airports to Taipei Sung Shan or Taoyuan International Airports.
:duno:I don't think that's how it works
has anyone thought about the possibility of A and K getting an express pass and perhaps they were on the other flight solo?

TAR12 visited Taipei, where Chris/Ron had a considerable advantage. Would they do the same thing?
The Haneda departure idea is simply speculation, but there is no information backing it. Just pure speculation.
:duno:I don't think that's how it works

Or was there believed to be one TBC pitstop and then a normal pitstop with an elimination?

But they make Taiwan leg after Japan leg in S12,I don't think they will do same route(but they do same route India-Thailand-China in S14 as S1,so every thing can happen)...I think they will fly to China,and may have a leg in Hangzhou,Nanjing or Chengdu(panda :hearts:)...since China is nightmare of all remaining S14 teams(except Mel and Mike),production may want visit again to bring drama.
BTW,all Chinese fans are waiting!!! :lol:
Or was there believed to be one TBC pitstop and then a normal pitstop with an elimination?
I think there was one TBC in Sydney and then a normal Pit Stop in Broken Hill. BTW, a "rolling Pit Stop" means that the contestants moved from one place to another during the Pit Stop time, like in Season 16 when they took the bus from Germany to France or Season 15 when the Pit Stop was a moving boat.
I'm sorry to bring you bad news, but there is a stack of evidence that Amanda and Kris were the first team to be eliminated in Broken Hill.:duno:I don't think that's how it works
has anyone thought about the possibility of A and K getting an express pass and perhaps they were on the other flight solo?
I understand that - but they will be doing a lot of things we cannot speculate this season. Just a thought ... A hopeful one !

Fantastic work everyone. :jumpy: I am so excited by this season, and hugely excited that A/K might have been eliminated first. I would have pegged the only young athletic dating couple to have won this race (again). So I love that we have all the other mixes of teams left.
Question, I have read through most of the information. Is the consensus that the first pitstop was a 'rolling pitstop' but with an elimination?
And I am assuming that rolling pitstop means a to be continued. I think that no-rest pitstops for the entire race is a fantastic idea for returning teams. They will have time to rest and sleep on flights and in airports. Will make for some grumpy teams though!
Or was there believed to be one TBC pitstop and then a normal pitstop with an elimination?
Ya I am pretty happy to see amanda and kris go.
I barely remember them, I don't dislike them enough to be happy for their elimination per se, BUT I am happy that this means I'll get to see teams I like and am invested in for another leg. Jaime going away ASAP would have been better, sure, but other than that, I'd really rather see racers I actually care about reach another continent. It's bad enough for my nerves that there are a couple of teams this season I'm SO invested in, I'm a nervous wreck checking these threads every morning! :ascared I desperately want Gary to race as much as possible because aside from Nat and Kat (even if they didn't win TAR17, they're not mactors, they can't take time off as much as other contestants) he's the closest I'll ever be to being on the Race. Not that I'm as awesome or as competent, but I think he's the biggest fan of the Race who's ever actually been on it. OK, the biggest fan I actually like and feel represented by, but yeah... Go, Gary! And Goths! And Zev and Justin! There aren't many seasons where I've been so invested in the racers, I'm really looking forward to this one!
Sometimes you get couples that are competent Racers and who do not bicker or say things that drive people crazy. Like Kris and Amanda. They ran into being U-Turned in their original season, and didn't really make any mistakes leading into it. They just had the misfortune of being targeted by a blind U-Turn.
They reminded people during their original season of TAR 6's Kris and Jon, who almost pulled off the win but for some bad advice in booking their final flight back to the U.S. Kris and Jon were strong Racers, never argued, and from all reports to this day, are well liked and generated fond memories from the fans.
That is why some of us liked the fact they were included in this new season and why we're sad that they were apparently the first ones out.

It could also be Kaohsiung, there are direct flights from Narita, not as many as Taipei, but then they'll lose Floral Expo.
But might be complicated to visit Taiwan this weekend, since there's election on Saturday.
I think a leg in India or China still more probable than another leg in Taiwan.
I have nothing against Kris and Amanda.They seemed like a nice couple but I had to think really hard to remember them. I haven't seen Kynt and Vyxsins season.Can anyone enlighten me as to why they're
so well liked?Same goes for Christina and Ronald actually.
Does anyone know if the Cowboys are still in the race?
yes they are :hearts:
Most of the spoilers coming from people who were there state that Jet&Cord started this leg third,just after Zev&Justin and the Globetrotters.
Also Kynt & Vyxsin are kinda quirky and, at least aestethically, a unique team.I have nothing against Kris and Amanda.They seemed like a nice couple but I had to think really hard to remember them. I haven't seen Kynt and Vyxsins season.Can anyone enlighten me as to why they're

I think one reason why the Goths (Kynt & Vyksin) are so well-liked is because they were really nice to each other and were good racers for the most part. I liked Ron & Christina at first because they were Asian American and I have a fondness for Asian Americans, but later on I came to like them because their relationship improved and because they were underdogs to some degree.

The couple could be either Gary/Mallory or Margie/Luke. It would be a huge change of development if it turns out to be Amanda/Kris.
Anyway, I am checking with him when he was there and where the exact temple/shrine he was at. He later on did say it was during the afternoon and was located near the center of the city, so I am going on a whim and say it was the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu (鶴岡八幡宮) (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode&q=%E9%B6%B4%E5%B2%A1%E5%85%AB%E5%B9%A1%E5%AE%AE&sll=35.31629%2C139.549842&sspn=0.006461%2C0.013937&ie=UTF8&hq=%E9%B6%B4%E5%B2%A1%E5%85%AB%E5%B9%A1%E5%AE%AE&hnear&ll=35.323599%2C139.555142&spn=0.01285%2C0.027874&z=16&layer=c&cbll=35.32367%2C139.554967&panoid=Ota8wQsGSkPJ75x1zWiocw&cbp=12%2C15.57%2C%2C0%2C3.41).
This is a nice walk away from the JR Kamakura Station, and quite a popular tourist spot.
I just got confirmation that it was indeed at the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine (see the Google street view link above) on Friday afternoon where he spotted Jet/Cord, Kisha/Jen, Kynt/Vyxsin, and what I am guessing as Amanda/Kris or Margie/Luke. Checking what time he saw them.

Thank you to everyone who replied!Everyone is so respectful of others here and that's lovely to see!Ooh Coutzy do you have some inside knowledge?lol perhaps following them around
Sydney gave you a different outlook?;)

Given the fact that they are still in the race after a task at the Aquarium in Manly (which probably had something to do with water..), I would say they might have.

Indeed it did. They spent some time bickering while the cameras weren't rolling. Vyxsin was asking Kynt not to yell at her so much, while Kynt was sure he'd only yelled once, in encouragement.

I thought it was just Jen which didn't know how to or was afraid of water - mind you I hope so to after we saw them in lone of the pictures in wetsuits

I think they were both afraid of water; the younger 1 just showed it more.
Kent and Vyxsin scored points with a lot of the fan base for their treatment of the fans after their season was filmed and their elimination that season was broadcast. (Not the first team to do that either -- the Guidos are the best example.) And I think several of these teams are showing signs of having benefited from their prior Racing experience.
As to Jaime, I'm going to guess that her decision to appear in a certain magazine wasn't very popular. Otherwise, I'm not really sure. I thought they were capable of winning the Race the first time around, and I would view them as a definite contender this time out.

I believe it was her treatment of the cab drivers and her decision in the final leg to call 911 dispatch because the driver didn't know where the place was they were going.

Hmm a possible Amanda/Kris sighting? thats interesting.Where abouts? Maybe Sequesterville?
Facebook post: Went to the Kamakura Shrine and saw some Amazing Race Contestants. :) (9 hours ago)
----------------------------------------------------------
Kamakuri is located 1 hour outside Tokyo
9 hours ago in Tokyo was 10pm. This could be from the previous leg!
Peach gave me the lead to the person who posted this update on Facebook. I'm getting the details figured out as his account is somewhat sketchy, but he is visiting the Tokyo area so he's not a resident there - gotta cut him a bit of slack there, as Japan can be confusing to many foreigners.
What I have so far is the following (he gave me permission to share details):QuoteI went there in the afternoon. I don't know which temple that was as I'm also a foreigner here but it's the one where you have to climb a number of steps before you reach the top. I saw cowboys, 2 black ladies, 2 pink-dyed hair ladies, and a Caucasian couple. I was able to take a picture of the cowboy and the black ladies.
2 pink-dyed hair ladies FTW!!! :colors :lol:
Anyway, I am checking with him when he was there and where the exact temple/shrine he was at.

:yess: UPDATE!
I just got confirmation that it was indeed at the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine (see the Google street view link above) on Friday afternoon where he spotted Jet/Cord, Kisha/Jen, Kynt/Vyxsin, and what I am guessing as Amanda/Kris or Margie/Luke. Checking what time he saw them.

:yess: UPDATE#2!
His sighting was around 1:30PM on 2010/11/25 FRI.
Idk Margie and Luke look nothing like Amanda and Kris, niether do Gary/Mallory. Maybe the first leg was a NEL ?@TSPKM: The first leg was a very long leg split into 2 parts (a TBC leg). Therefore the chances of a NEL for the first leg in Australia would be very slim. There were around 6 spotters at Central station in Sydney for the start of the 2nd leg and no one saw Amanda/Kris. Also no sitings on Qantas or Cathay flights to Tokyo. So I would say from this evidence it is 99.9% certain that Amanda/Kris were eliminated.
Sometimes you get couples that are competent Racers and who do not bicker or say things that drive people crazy. Like Kris and Amanda. They ran into being U-Turned in their original season, and didn't really make any mistakes leading into it. They just had the misfortune of being targeted by a blind U-Turn.
They reminded people during their original season of TAR 6's Kris and Jon, who almost pulled off the win but for some bad advice in booking their final flight back to the U.S. Kris and Jon were strong Racers, never argued, and from all reports to this day, are well liked and generated fond memories from the fans.

well said. Anyone who has negative things to say about them have no reason as to why. They are a good team and should have had a second chance !

You're more than welcome to express your like or dislike for certain contestant on the show. However, the Racers do join and participate here at RFF, we want them to feel welcome so we ask that you keep that in mind as well. RFF is a fun place and we need your help to keep it that way.
Just saw this on Survivorsucks:
Is it me or their Kamakura visit seem too good to be true especially that it's also one of the sites shown in the TAR Wii Game? (The Buddha one...)
Are they actually doing a season just to promote the game?
I think it's possible...
As to Jaime, I'm going to guess that her decision to appear in a certain magazine wasn't very popular.
Easter Island... if ONLY. It's a very sensitive ecosystem, I'm not sure they'd ever get permission to haul the crew around.
Egypt please! :hearts:
what about Jaime and Cara? :(those freaking cheerleaders who complain them that the locals can't speak English? Heck probably they're the last one to arrive at the pit stop and they have difficulties on communicating with the Japanese locals there. I wish they'd been eliminated there or else... (:;)
Unless leg 3 is still in Japan.actually, they're hopefully still be in Japan for leg 4, and if they're still on the Tokyo metropolitan area for now they should be visit and race to Akihabara district, its the famous place for many animes, mangas and video games and it's known as the otaku capital of the world. And surely that place will be a jampacked by tomorrow and Sunday and probably the Japanese media there will be easily to spot them for sure besides ordinary people who wants to take relax there during weekend. :tup:
Egypt please! :hearts:
Yes.....this time on the east bank of the Nile and train ride to Alexandria.......

I think is better Hurgada or Sharm El -Sheikn along the red sea...,beautiful places,beautiful sea(Especially Sharm ) and every day there are a lot of flights From/to European countries
I think It's possible...

Since they are racing east to west......I doubt very seriously they would turn around when they got to Europe and then fly back to Egypt.....anywhere in Egypt. It really doesn't make much sense. When they are finished in Europe, they will head to N America
:'( :'( I'm so pissed right now,why there are no other valuable spoilers coming out?Japanese fans,please :meow:
it's almost 9:40 pm in Tokyo,if it was a 24-hour mandatory period of rest,first couples of teams should have been running again :duno:
Kampuchea means Cambodia right?YES!!
That will be nice to visit Cambodia ^ ^

Welcome to RFF mad_joe!
:welcome2:
Why not just have the whole cast of season 14 come back? :res:
let me speculate that production team planned for a Korean leg and just what recently happened between North and South Kor. Things have change. They cant visit china for now because somewhere they have on going Asian games. My wild guess is they'll comeback down to somewhere in Southeast Asia. LAOS, THAILAND or BRUNEI.. just my thoughts.. B:) B:) :keeta:

Gawd, I hope they are *NOT* going to South Korea right now...
It seems rather dangerous due to the military tension between the north and the south... If you were the producer, and if you had scheduled Seoul to be the next pitstop, what would y'all do?Gawd, I hope they are *NOT* going to South Korea right now...
Why?
:ascared NO not SouthKorea!! That would be horrible with a near war breaking out! I would hope that they always have a plan B for safety!! That wouldnt be good at ALL! You really dont think they would RISK that , DO U?Gawd, I hope they are *NOT* going to South Korea right now...

The possibility of accidental deaths would surely keep them away from there!
I'm expecting India next. Only half of these second chance racers have experienced it before and it was absent in TAR17. The geography nerd in me would still ideally prefer another Asia stop in Qatar or Papua New Guinea or the Maldives, but realistically... that's not going to happen.
:jam: :jam: I think we are on to something!! An amazing race Idea where they go thru these countys that are shooting at each other....... To Race thru them and make it to the end without being shot,,,,, back packs would include bullet proof vests, night vision goggles , etc...:(:ascared NO not SouthKorea!!

Totally agreed. If I were Bertram/Elise - presumably travelling with Phil - I would scramble for plan B.
The US Embassy in South Korea has not issued a travel ban yet, but they have released this note on 2010/11/23 (http://seoul.usembassy.gov/p_emb_112310.html).
BTW, does anyone know if a graphical timeline of TAR races juxtaposed with major international news (like the Indian Ocean tsunami and what not) exists? Of course the news would have to be related to things that happened along the race course. That would be interesting.

Ok maybe you are right it would be more like a "swat team amazing race" they could rescue people along the way and take them to the safety of a pit stop!!

got a strong feeling that they will visit the country that i'm located right now.. camera's ready...
Clue... since this country still hadn't been visited (its about time since right now they struggle a little bit in their tourism industry) and an good transition from South Asia to Europe or Mideast... Experts will know my IP add is.. ;) ;)

Aaaahhhh as exciting as this is,Im terrible at Geography!lol more clues?Someone will guess this easily and I still won't have a clue :)
I suspect the Papua New Guinea would be a no-go because it would be prohibitively expensive to insure any filming in that country. Same goes for Egypt, which seems to have gotten decidedly more dangerous since they last Raced through there. I'm expecting India next too, though will always hold out hope for Bhutan because it's got such an interesting history and normally restricts tourism so tightly.
Why do people hate Jaime and Cara so much? Who cares if Jaime was rude to foreigners?
Jaime and Cara love <3

Please tell me my sarcasm meter is failing me... Since when is rudeness condoned in general, let alone when you're a guest in a foreign country? Is shoving and abusing your wife also OK as long as you're on a race on TV and you're stressed out, hungry and tired? Do tell.

Maldives? :neener: :neener:but I seriously doubt they would go to there...in my opinion,it's better they come to China today,and then fly to Central Asia or other neighbourhood countries of Russia,before they head to Europe,Africa and South America for the second last leg

see guys here have all the expertise in this forum :jam:.. China? they'll all busy in there Asian games right now. So thats why i strongly speculate they coming back down to South east Asia then move to South Asia, transition from a Mideast country before goin to Europe coun try. IMO..
a Co-worker was in Bhutan recently and she paid $250 per day just to be in the country. Steep, but it apparently includes some things (not sure .. food or lodging) I don't know if Bhutan would really want the attention. They seem to quite like their relative anonymity on the world stage. Having said that she said it was spectacular. And I would love to see the teams go there if they were able.Clue... since this country still hadn't been visited (its about time since right now they struggle a little bit in their tourism industry) and an good transition from South Asia to Europe or Mideast...

Yeah, although Bhutan would be nice, I think it's going to be prohibitively expensive, $200/day for each person. The price includes everything (food & lodging), but still. Not to mention the red tape that goes along with the hefty price tag. The government slapped each tourist such a high price because they don't want tourism in their country in the first place. I doubt they'll be willing to cooperate with a race-travel show. But here's hoping! :jam:

which allows tar to hold a leg or two in the country without being spotted so much...So thats why i strongly speculate they coming back down to South east Asia then move to South Asia, transition from a Mideast country before goin to Europe country. IMO..
what i can think of only possibilities would be laos (first visit?), philippines (there's a travel warning), indonesia (first visit) or brunei (first visit). im not leaning on the other countries.
South East Asia is a stong possiblity this time around. (Thailand anyone?)

Well, I'm currently in Phuket/Similans and would be keeping my eyes out for them. Dunno how I'll update since I won't have Internet most of the time IF there're any sightings, I wldn't be able to do livesightings >.<
I really hope we get a sighting soon!It depends on how you measure the spoiling of a season. For example, we had a detailed boot list for Season 11, but it depends if you measure it according to contestants, tasks or destinations.
Also,I don't know if this is the right thread to ask this question,so if I'm in the wrong,moderators please move it. Can anyone tell me which season of TAR has been the most spoiled on RFF?

possibly they're the crew in charge of tasks for the next location.
and without sightings until now, it's pretty much leaning to a double leg in japan i think...

Not to Brunei.

Might not be a real spoiler though. Need more confirmation.. but offering the map just in case.
What's with all the cars with stickers on their sides in the Belait District? Amazing Race?Anytime :) I was just about to say that that's in Brunei...interesting.Has TAR ever been there before?

:groan: Yea, i just figured out! More geography lessons! :tup:Kota Kinabalu is part of Malaysia.. while Borneo is part of Brunei.. ohh, geography lesson learnt today. I always thought Borneo's part of Malaysia! :-[
I don't think physically TAR has stepped into Brunei.. but again, all these are speculation.. i searched and poked my head around and didn't find anything else about TAR in Brunei.. :(
Borneo is just a really big island. Part belongs to Sultan of Brunei, part to Malaysia and part to Indonesia.
It is probably a local thing.....the TAR part
Nice.So maybe all the teams had boarded their flights and production was rushing to catch theirs?
Nice.So maybe all the teams had boarded their flights and production was rushing to catch theirs?
There is two production crews.......they flip flop the places.......while one is cleaning up in Japan......another one is already on the ground in the next place. Then the japaness crew will go forward to where they are going and be ready when they get there......if that makes sense.
Okay.........here it is maybe simpler........they had one crew in Australia setting up those two legs...........at the same time....one crew was in Japan setting up that leg(s). When the teams flew to Japan......they went with their cameraman/soundman team.....maybe a couple of Production ASSTs.....BVM and Elise travel too.....then the Aussie crew went to what ever comes after Japan...lets call it Country XX.....when teams leave Japan for Country XX.........the Japanese crew will fly to Country YY.....and start setting that up......does that make more sense?

More of a contextual translation (I'm not 100% sure):
Since morning [something about Americans]. I told a superior during break: "Isn't it The Amazing Race?!" It was an American Show that I watched last month in Cairns. The parent & child I talked to boarded the HP ［or boarded in HP].

It seems like that this person may have seen the Race on the way to work and confirmed it by asking a superior. I wonder of there was a possible double stop in Japan b/c this seems too delayed to be from the 25th.

I'm sure they are in Kunming,China!!!I have photos!!!Already sent to peach!!!
hey guys I am new,a Chinese TAR FanThis would mean Ronald & Christina, Gary & Mallory, and Kisha & Jen are still alive and kicking.
My friend from Kumming via QQ mobile told me,shes was in a train station before and saw,theres english men with cameras there.they were following an asian grandpa and a japanesse look alike girl,a blonde girl with a guy. and 2 black woman.

The race always finds a way to set the gingers back to their homeland. :lol:

Since they don't have a obvious feature on appearance than other teams.I think we should worry cowboy,basketball player,goth more.
Fairly sure Mel & Mike will be one of them. I'd be surprised if Mel's old age doesn't catch with him. He was sixty-eight when he ran TAR14. He's gotta be seventy for this race. Don't know who the other will be, though.What about Margie and Luke? and both elimination? or not?

Very true. Only a maximum of 2 teams have been eliminated in Japan, though.

I Speculate Black Dragon Pool will be their first destination...since they can film Jade dragon snow mountain(one of Lijiang's symbol,but it's too far from downtown of Lijiang,so Idon't think they will go) in crew...and it will open at 8:00,since teams look like taking two trains to Lijiang,maybe a time bunching.:yess:THAT IS BEAUTIFUL! Too bad they dont have time to ENJOY it!

im leaning towards laos or myanmar (but i do know myanmar is a little too off the track) since kunming is actually close to both countries, and have no many international flights away except to thailand, myanmar, laos or malaysia.

Someone from "Baidu" mentioned:
There's a clue box at the gate of Lijiang Ancient City last night.
(this information is given from the people living there)
He said is there a chance that some of the teams are ahead of Gary&Mallory, and already went there?
Could this be from Hong Kong?
Pardon my being nosey..........but why would you think it was Hong Kong?
It isn't the only train to get there though, maybe there are teams ahead or far behind,Someone from "Baidu" mentioned:

they're probably being set up?
imo, it's way impossible for teams to get spread out, there would be a chance of bunching point.
didnt their train arrive around 5 am?
Could this be from Hong Kong?
Pardon my being nosey..........but why would you think it was Hong Kong?
It was a case of my mind being too active and jumping to conclusions. I was looking through pictures of Lijiang and Kunming trying to identify the curved 10 story building in the distance in front of the Cowboys. I didn't see anything that looked like it in Lijiang or Kunming during my obviously too brief search. Since there have been previous statements about two possible legs in China and teams passing through Hong Kong, I was guessing that photo could have been taken during a leg in Hong Kong. As the photo was taken at the Kunming train station, I was horribly off the mark. I hope I didn't confuse anyone out there.

It isn't the only train to get there though, maybe there are teams ahead or far behind,Someone from "Baidu" mentioned:
There's a clue box at the gate of Lijiang Ancient City last night.
(this information is given from the people living there)
He said is there a chance that some of the teams are ahead of Gary&Mallory, and already went there?
they're probably being set up?
imo, it's way impossible for teams to get spread out, there would be a chance of bunching point.
didnt their train arrive around 5 am?
so it's an unknown now.

looks like they are in front of a hotel??
I sent same photo to peach hours ago...this is what I confirmed cowboys being spotted.They are at Kunming airport,find a taxi taking them to train station.

And also he has mentioned: There are some production teams at Qiyi Street(七一街) in this morning.

It probably means someone else is accessing her Facebook account for her.
just look how nice the update times are. someone must have done scheduled updates. and suddenly, via HootSuite instead of BlackBerry?
Thanks Weihen for the translations of Mad Joe's updates! I guess it wouldn't hurt if I put in my version as well:
1.45pm: God, I found Zev and Justin!
1.49pm: God! I gave them Y200.
2.00pm: I don't know if Zev and Justin are last. I asked and they denied it, but they looked sullen. Cameramen don't give up (sic). They asked me for money, and I gave them Y200. They ran off but I didn't follow. I'm now at the entrance to the Old City of Lijiang, waiting to see if there are others. P.S. They denied getting the Express Pass.
2.07pm: Indeed, there is a performance at the plaza.
God, I found Christina and Ron. They're safe for this leg (sic), and they're performing a folk dance. It's not wise to get closer; the cameramen are following closely.
2.30pm: Talked a long while with Christina, both in English and Chinese. Both she and her father are pretty fluent in Chinese. I told them to go for first, and she thanked me. I wanted to help her, but she's too honest and didn't want to "cheat". She hugged to thank me in the end, I'm going to cry...
2.59pm: Met up with Uncle Bao. He's exasperated to have not seen anybody. Haha, funny!
Kynt and Vyxsin are in front of the Qingqing Kezhan Holiday Inn here.

Please review your facts before posting! Jet and Cord were seen in Kunming, with photo evidence.Which narrows down the possibilities for Japan... :(That is Kynt obviously
I don't think you understand what I meant.
Probably Mel and Mike and the cheerleaders were eliminated in Japan.

Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."Kent/vyksin finished last,but they are still running,phil said uturn ahead
?!!!
Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."
it is so early to have u-turn !Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."Kent/vyksin finished last,but they are still running,phil said uturn ahead
?!!!
Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."
Woah! who u-turn Kent & VYksin?
Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."Kent/vyksin finished last,but they are still running,phil said uturn ahead

Uncle Bao said:"Kent & Vyksin are received 30 minutes time penalty."
they're already in China! To TAR producers and All-Stars contestants please go to my country in the Philippines [in Manila] by tomorrow so that I could spot all of you and post it here and to my twitter account and tomorrow is a holiday in my country and I have no office work at that day. :tup:
BTW, I'd found this music video from rock band The Starting Line entitled Leaving and this song will be a great theme song for the TV ad clip for the upcoming TAR 18 aka the 2nd All-Star edition by early next year and it's a great song, guysand check it out: http://tinyurl.com/ydouqpm (http://tinyurl.com/ydouqpm) :tup: :jam:
I found this on twitter..
"The Amazing Race journey continues...off to Amsterdam"
:duno: :duno:
Is there anyway to ask Mad Joe to clarify what he means regarding the U-Turn?I'm confused too
Is he saying that K/V are running last and had to face a U Turn?
Or is he saying that they finished last, and face a Speed Bump next leg?
Or is he saying they were U-Turned, then had a 30 minute penalty?
Or is it something else completely different?
Because what was reported weihan makes no sense in the context of the current rules of TAR.
(my first post, but been following spoilers for a long time)
Some add information:
No speedbump this season,goth must come first next leg or they will receive a 30-mins penalty.
I'm confused too
:bigwelcome
No speedbump this season,goth must come first next leg or they will receive a 30-mins penalty.
:'( :'( :'(No speedbump this season,goth must come first next leg or they will receive a 30-mins penalty.
Oooh! I hope this is true! I find it far more exciting than Speedbumps! :yess: :lol:

Two Japan legs are not yet confirmed, and the POSSIBLE elim of Mel/Mike and J/C is also not yet confirmed. Let's wait till we hear back 100% from our guys in the field ??
just saw mallory and her father,and jamie and cara,so 9 teams are heading to kunming right now from the train station in lijiangshe confirmed Mel/Mike and Amanda/Kris didn't show up here,which definitely means they are all out,but not sure about who Jamie and Cara is
from Mad_Joe
Now we really feel sad to Mel and Mike.
so, Lijiang --> Kunming?
also from Mad_Joe
So is the train ride about 8 hours.....from Lijiang to Kunming??????
It is 0515 in NYC and 0215 in Los Angeles
I am Glad Ron and Father is Safe
also Margie and Luke . Jen/Ksh G/M: Cowboys./Goths
Zev/Justin FT/BE J/C can Go next
If they stay in China. Hope my friends can provide more help.
Thank You to the people who follow them this leg. Rest well.

Are they travelling via train to Kunming now?
EDIT:Sorry,just read live sightings stating this.So now we need to wait for another couple of hours.
So they are currently on their way to Kunming via train? Is this leg 4 having started, or is this like a rolling pit stop where they are all being taken to Kunming as one big batch?
Rolling pitstop.
Thanks for all the new info. How do you manage to come up with all this great info?
Btw, has anyone here met Phil or anyone in the prod.crew?

I can tell you the story...
Mad_Joe,Uncle Bao and I had a strong feeling that they will come to China this season (but no proof at all),then I tried to search Sina Microblog again and again,but nothing...when I want to give up and went to bed last night,I finally found the photo which Gallory spotted in Kunming(this photo was noted without"amazingrace" so nobody found it) at 1am today,you can't imagine how exciting I am! I told Mad_Joe who from Beijing and Uncle Bao who from shanghai, they booked tickets and fly to Lijiang right now.All Chinese fans had amazing day today,we tried our best to find information and finally spotted by Mad_Joe and Uncle bao...We are so so so happy!!!

F/u post: Yes ....: it's next to the temple near our place. They even got opera performers! I hope I don't get caught on c...amera, was walking home from ......... place and was damm sloppy lah!!!

I'm sorry, but just one thing is not clear to me: So mad_joe spotted gary mallory , jaime & cara?
And what about the second commentary? Who didn't see Amanda & Kris, Mel & Mike and didn't know who jaime & Cara is?

First, I wanna say thanks to weihan, Uncle Bao, and Mad_Joe. Yall have done AMAZING!!!
Does anyone else think this will be a short leg? Leg 3 must have been really long, from flying from Japan to China then the train ride. Hopefully we will learn who gets eliminated *crosses fingers*
I think S18 may have 12 legs and double legs in Aus maybe a special 2 hrs opening shown in 1 Ep since two legs in China now.
confirm detour here.
So exciting!!A huge thanks to everyone in China who's following the teams around!
The next destination is likely Vientiane, Laos. There are 2 direct flights from Kunming.

I doubt Nepal, but I do think Doha, Qatar is possible after Laos. I'm guessing 5 teams will go to Elimination Station, and only 2 have been eliminated so far...

Yeah Nepal is a mainly doubted, but the Middle East or India sounds reasonable for the next couple legs.

Zev and Justin safe.
Ron and Chris safe.
Zev and Justin safe.

someone's gotta be there before Kisha and Jen if the goths got the penalty
So Jamie/Cara are team number 1?
so is it between gary&mallory and cowboy? god
What's this about Jaime/Cara being first? Sounds like they're still racing. or did I miss something
So it looks like Gallory, Cowboys, or Jamie/Cara are eliminated?
I know some people are saying Jamie/Cara are ahead, but can you confrim that weihen?
Goths safe
Well, if the Cowboys ran this leg like the first one, we maybe waiting a while :lol:

any chances this is a double u turn?

Could Zev/Justin have been the last team and were eliminated?They arrived pitstop at the same time with Ron and Chris...and they looked happy.
What if there was no express pass this season?Very possible...Zev and Justin said they don't have express pass to Mad_Joe although they depart first on 2nd leg.
We KNOW there is an Express Pass.
We KNOW there is an Express Pass.
Then why Zev and Justin said they don't have?Lie?or a prize for who came first at mid-point?

No need to sound so snarky.It's a personal preference.I liked the fact that they just got on with the race and didn't create much drama.Maybe that's what you interpret as "boring and one-note!"

Why not SpeedBump? It's the most fair Penalty I can think of xD
Theschnauzers, you speak so much sense lol. I also liked the fact that the cowboys genuinely seemed to enjoy the places the visited(well as much as one can given the circumstances)Aw, good for you. *roll eyes*

Essentially, 3rd country visited, and TAR14 former racers are the ones falling like flies so far. It'll be interesting ES to watch out, as both A/K and M/M were together in TAR14 ES, but now will be joined with a team from their season that was not there.
So far:
Leg 1: Australia (with TBC)
Leg 2: Japan
Leg 3 and 4: China

they were probaly U turned by The Goths.
they were probaly U turned by The Goths.
Why not Kisha\Jen?
Goths know they have a half hour penalty,they were ahead of Kisha/Jen,and I assume the U turned came after getting finishing the detour and to another destination,Goths finished fast,so i assume they had pretty good ideas of (whos really behind them this time,besides Kisha/Jen have nothing against them,but I could be wrong,BUT THATS Most likely to be the case.I am suprised Ron/Chris rank so low in the legs in China.

Goths know they have a half hour penalty,they were ahead of Kisha/Jen,and I assume the U turned came after getting finishing the detour and to another destination,Goths finished fast,so i assume they had pretty good ideas of (whos really behind them this time,besides Kisha/Jen have nothing against them,but I could be wrong,BUT THATS Most likely to be the case.I am suprised Ron/Chris rank so low in the legs in China.
Hi, everyone! :waves:
If you're new around here, welcome!
A reminder that if you're ever confused about what we know about the route or racers, you can always check the first post in the Timeline thread here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23631.msg570943.html#msg570943). There is also now a separate post to keep track of Racer sightings here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23631.msg570945.html#msg570945).
These posts are a summary of what we believe to be reliable information.
Happy spoiling!
Which teams have been eliminated so far?
Can we have an "excitement thread" for us to squeal, rant, hope, wish, etc. to our favorite teams? I mean, this thread is getting confusing because the "excitement" mixes with the pure/wild/educated speculations, which this thread is really made for.
NO guys, If I read it right the original post about no speedbump was later described to be an error...could it be that K&V received a 30-minute penalty for taking the wrong form of transportation?
No.. They still came in last and that 30 minute would have added to their release time .
It's Mark for Elimination Again. I guess Speedbumps is too easy. I mean Lol How Ridiculous they always come up. Goths did Yoga in Tar12. T.K & Rachel caught up finishing Speedbump with 20 min. Cowboys delivering Tea in Tar 16. Michael & Kevin sitting on Ice for only 10 Minute.
Everyone Prefer 30 min Penalty if not first. Much more interesting. the last team still has disadvantage

I was not a big fan of the "Marked for Elimination" version until I saw Speed Bumps. Since the writers don't want to make Speed Bumps harder, Marked for Elimination is the best idea.

What was Marked For Elimination?
Marked for Elimination is a version of the non-elimination leg that requires the NEL team 2 incurr a 30-min penalty if they did not check in first in the following leg. This was originally the second version of the NEL, but it has been brought back.

I believe weihen said that was a miscommunication...let's check? I am not yet convinced of that unless there was something I missed. ???
They got too many complaints that Speedbumps were too easy
and it doesn't have significant affect on the race most of the time

Most importantly, Marked for Elimination is absolutely free!
I think the only Speedbump worth calling it that was the Elephant painting in S14, taking into consideration that the flight attendants had 20 min traffic each way on top of the painting... and still only lost by 2 min. Definitely beats sitting on an ice chair for 10 min.... The flight attendants would have beaten Mike and Mark with a marked for elimination and who knows...
does that mean Jaime and Cara are eliminated :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Are Mel and Mike still in the race?
How many legs did they make it through?

This cannot be repeated enough times. Production no longer follows fixed hours for Pit Start releases. It could be 12h, it could be 36h, it could be 25h, 14min and 49s if they wanted it to be. They no longer go by simple fractions of the 24h day.

I believe we had a witness who saw Kynt/Vyxsin arrive the next leg (not in first), allowing Kisha/Jen to check in ahead of them? I thought this was our confirmation of the return of the MFE penalty?
Some add information:
No speedbump this season,goth must come first next leg or they will receive a 30-mins penalty.
I'm sorry he said he isn't sure about this...but he heard sth about 30mins.
According to Weihen Myanmar is a possiblity! :yess:

I thnik it's a 24hrs pitstop...since teams started 4th leg in Lijiang right now after 3rd leg(this is not a rolling pitstop)...they should have a long time rest.

Ok i was assuming you had some sort of source.
i think this is the right forum....says "speculation" and I'm completely speculating here but I found this article and wonder if it's clues of where the teams may be going this time.
Were thrilled the audience watching us sprint around the globe each week will continue to witness the breathtaking landscapes that serve as our backdrops, only now in high definition.

Do we have any idea of when the next leg will start?
Teams should be in airport by now or on their way.
Should be flying to Hongkong-Beijing-Guangzhou. than to another destination.
my guess their already in one of the 3 destination .
3 airports which have the most flights out to places.
they cant go any where else besides india asia in kunming and hardly any flights goes anywhere besides Asia
its much better anyway. Guangzhou/Hong Kong oonly 2-3 hour flight with whole range of options. Production crew and phil probaly already gone like that,they dont want to risk not getting on that flight,or had to wait for god noes how long if they do go to india. But my best guess is they need to go somewhere else. The closest biggest airport is via Guangzhou and Hongkong. I went To Dubai & Paris via Guangzhou.its pretty quick and less delays unless mist or rain, (hardly happens) . Guangzhou/HongKong/Beijing have the most flights out to places. Most likely they went to Guangzhou,because theres more flight from kunming,but they could get tickets in kunming and go hongkong instead.
But they might need to get to Guangzhou than to Hongkong,if its faster. Its all about speculation.
Do we have any idea of when the next leg will start?
I wanna buy Slaves too =_=
someone spot them in Dubai.

Do you know that they're in Dubai for certain?
Jaime/Cara must be thrilled to come back to China :lol:
See how there is not much tweets or facebook posts about the race, they could have gone to a destination where there isn't much internet.
The leg should be finished by now.
Someone has gone home
7 Teams Remain
or they could have had a 36 hour pit stop
I also suspect that safety in Sri Lanka is still a little iffy right now, even though the government seems to have smacked down the Tamils to a point of relatively low terrorism activity at the time of filming.

It's relatively safe, only thing might happen is someone's fanny pack getting stolen or their fanny patted...
its almost been 48 hours since they checked in.
its almost been 48 hours since they checked in.
do u know where they went :duno:
I was warned about this do not ask this question. Sorry if i sounded rude.
they was spot in dubai
does anyone know the order of the teams came in on leg 3? :duno:
It' s been two days since they were last spotted. It's quite possible that they took a night flight to somewhere in Asia. Personally I would love if they took a long train ride, like those of old TAR, in India perhaps or in Vietnam. Does anybody know if there are any trains from Kunming to neighbouring countries?
They can travel by bus to Laos from Kunming.
This is getting stressful
2 Teams could have bit the dust already and still no sighting
Anyone but Ron Chris/ Margie/Luke Mallory/Gary Goths
But I assume one of them is gone..
I don't know how credible is this, because it is dated 29th November.
From Twitter:
Watching Amazing Race shooting their 3rd episode in India. I miss incredible India!
There has not been any "3rd episode" (3rd leg) held in India.. this could be a lead.. let me go check.
The nearest similarity i can find to this would be the person might be referring to TARA Season 4 Episode 3, the leg was held in Sri Lanka.. and it's very easy to mix Sri Lanka and India up.

Some fun winter weather hitting Europe right now - could make for interesting travel - if that's where they're headed next.
Lots of airport delays, closings and cancellations in the UK, Poland, Portugal, Germany, Spain.

That's why I don't think they are going to go to Central/Northern Europe. They probably go to Northern Africa or Southern Europe to finish the season up (after India or some other warm countries in between), or they hit Europe and then finish through South/Central America. If they had gone to Europe they wouldn't have started in late November. The weather is too unpredictable.

I suspect somewhere secluded in Africa, i think they learnt their lesson from the last Allstars and will be flying to less TAR-known places to prevent spoilers from spilling out?

Will definitely do my best. But since they were in Norway last season, I doubt they'll come here this season.
They are probably in some desert, in some 3rd world country or something, otherwise I feel like they would have been spotted somewhere lol

I know; the writers were very crafty to send teams to Australia and Asia first, since these continents draw a lot of sightings.
I have no better ideas about where teams went for the next leg in AR18. I do want to throw in the possibility that the reverse of the famous "Flying Tigers" air route to bring supplies into Kunming for the Chinese Nationalist forces there was used. That route was "over the hump" of the Himalayas from northeast India to Kunming. The reverse would be from Kunming southwest to Kolkata or Dhaka. You also have to think about the possibility that World Race Productions used charter aircraft to avoid public scrutiny.
5 continents again this season. Keep that in mind if we have any gaps in the route.
Just saw this on Survivorsucks:
Is it me or their Kamakura visit seem too good to be true especially that it's also one of the sites shown in the TAR Wii Game? (The Buddha one...)
Are they actually doing a season just to promote the game?
I think it's possible...
Can someone do a summary of all the locations? ???
Hey guys,
Hmm just a thought that ran across my mind.
How about checking out tweets etc from the south america? Perhaps they went to argentina? It's been a damn long time since they went there. Also, chile wld be a great location as well.
And just a question, does ppl arnd that area use twitter as frequently as the rest of the continent? (other than africa of cos haha)
I don't know if it's possible, but perhaps due to the weather situation in Europe the RACE had to stop for a while and they racers are kept somewhere? Or most probably they are in an African country where the people don't know about TAR so they don't report it. Can any of our TAR detectives tell us if there were enough sightings in the past when TAR visited Africa or other remote places?
Other TBC leg?
Family Edition even though they didn't originally plan it that way.Other TBC leg?
They've never done that before.

Twitter post: Just spotted 4 teams from the amazing race at CCU. But more amazing is the fact that I managed to board me second flight.
(1 day ago) - CCU is Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in west bengal

Something tells me there's a leg between Kolkatta and Kunming. Doubt it's Thailand, perhaps Laos?
Please excuse a noob question, but how do you interpret the tweet-time? If it's 02:07 at CCU, is that real local time? Zulu (Greenwich) time? Or something else?

Sort of along with the general theme of this year.......I dont expect to see them visit any new countries either....no new racers and no new countries.

I'm pretty sure they will at least visit 2-3 new countries this season. I speculate that they could visit Central Africa like Gabon, Cameroon, or North Africa like Algeria; Central America and the Caribbean are long overdue for a revisit since seasons 7 and Family Edition.

Refresh my memory.....are you not the one that said there was zero chance that Flight Time and Big Easy would be in TAR18?
Surely the 2 curly headed guys are production, Zev/Justin both have short hair.
Theres a chance both grew their hair. But also to tall black ladies? it must be a communication error.
Maybe Flight Time and Big Easy put on some Afro wigs to disguise themselves........ :yess:
or the Cowboys and Kisha/Jenn were eliminated and were on the way to ES with a couple of curly headed Production Assts......
The adjective "curly" is a pretty subjective term.....the orginal observer might have a somewhat different definition than other people trying to intrepret his comment. I do hope someone is sending him pics to try to identify, which I feel pretty sure is being done.

A couple days ago......I was constantly gettting tweets from all over SE Asia, in anticiption of the TARAsia finale.......today I am hardly getting any new hits when I search for Amazing Race on twitter........is this happening to anyone else....seems like Twitter cut off Indonesia, etc.
Indonesia recognised as world's biggest Twitter addict
Research from comScore has concluded that Indonesia is the planet's most Twitter-addicted nation. According to the data, 20.8 percent of Indonesians online visited Twitter during June 2010, with the country scoring the highest percentage rate of Twitter usage amongst of any nation's online population.
Indonesian isn't the only Asian nation recognised as strong, from the continent Japan (5th with a 16.8% reach), Philippines (6th with a 14.8% reach), Singapore (9th with a 13.3%), South Korea (16th with a 9.3% reach), India (18th with a 8.0% reach) and Malaysia (19th with a 7.7% reach).

Okay i do hope that the cowboys are still in. lol :)
And yeah, i agree with "curly" being a pretty subjective term haha!
but one thing.. arent eliminated teams suppose to head to the ES one by one..? haha!
not.. two at a time? haha!
I doubt it's a TAR first double elimination leg right? And i kinda doubt they're decoys as well. Since its pretty much predictable that 2 legs have passed since theyre last spotted, and 5 teams will b sent to the ES before decoys are being "dispatched", i guess the cowboys, the curly boys (?) and kesha/jen are safe? haha!
where are the teams now?
Maybe God want us to watch the show in FEB
to find out everythig. So he hidden the teams in his unviable cloak.
Margie/Luke Ron/Chris Gary/Mallory Kisha/Jen Cowboys The Goths
Pretty sure one of my favouritr team is in final 3 lol
I just got information that Gary and Mallory apparently came first in the India leg.

Okay, i usually don't comment because my comment will have nothing to do with spoilers...
But to that comment... OMG!! Amazing!! The father and daughter will win at least one leg this time round then!! :yess:
Actually only 4 legs have been in Asia so far.
Leg 1: Australia=Amanda/Kris Eliminated
Leg 2: Asia-Tokyo=Mel/Mike Eliminated
Leg 3: Asia-Lijiang=NEL
Leg 4: Asia-Kunming=Jaime/Cara Eliminated
Leg 5: Asia-India=Unknown (Not Gary/Mallory) (Probably not Cowboys, Kisha/Jen)

If it boils down to Globetrotters, Ron/Christina and Zev/Justin, I'd probably bet on Ron and Christina leaving, especially considering their poor racing so far.
Oh yeah, my bad. Forgot about them.
But my point still stands. Out of Globetrotters, Margie/Luke, Ron/Christina and Justin/Zev, I see as Ron and Christinas as being the most likely boots. :(
Mel and Mike emilinated in Japan.
Two proofs:
1.Chinese spotters saw 9 teams on Lijiang train station chatting together when teams went back to Kunming...No Mel and Mike.
2.And Kunming pitstop...they saw all teams checked in except cowboys,Gallory,Margie and Luke.But we have photos which confirm cowboys,Gary and Mallory in Kunming...
So we are sure Mel and Mike emilinated in Japan.
Mel and Mike were likely spotted because they're obviously decoys. Producers likely know that people have had tons of sightings and decided to send some previously eliminated people out to try and take the heat off the legit racers.
But that would be a TAR first to have a team eliminated so early get Decoy status right?
Where is the Elimination station for this race, maybe its in the area lol
As we're obviously in Decoy land now, people need to be careful with sightings imo.
I think its a further stretch that Mel/Mike are actually in the race, to be honest I think at this point its wishful thinking.
well, Maybe Mel and Mike picked up a new super Fast Forward, I'll call the worm-hole portal. Where they can choose to bypass one country on the race and all tasks performed within the country. And leaving the country at the same time as the lead team.
And that's how we didn't see them in China, as they used their Worm-Hole portal to jump all the tasks in China, and move directly to the next desination.
Actually, the source is sounding more suspect in their descriptions. I do believe that the cowboys, Kisha/Jen and now the Goths were there and that he saw them. But as far as the racers versus some production personnel, it may be that he is confusing them.
But I won't be horridly upset to see Mel/Mike still in the race, as long as Kint/Vyxen remain all else is secondary.
Oh yeah, my bad. Forgot about them.

TAR14 did not go to Vienna.....but TAR4 did...........repeat racers and repeat countries.....seems to be the theme this time. TAR 14 was certainly in Austria.......but in Salzburg on opposite side of country.

Someone on survivorsucks found this from twitter,maybe you can check the time...looks like this message sent out at the same time with the one in Vienna.
Ha, on the preview for the next eppy of TAR 17, they have a "special surprise for what the next Season will be". I "wonder what it is?" :lol:
Also by the time the TAR17 finale is shown, we'll be on the final stretch of the TAR18 in terms of filming, which will make it really interesting.

I suspect that the TAR18 Finish Line will be this Thur or Friday.......in time for Gary and Mallory to get to the party in NYC......plus other notable people..........but not a tried and true rule.......just a feelin.
Just depends on where the End City for TAR 18 is.

When TAR 10 ended on TV, was TAR 11 still filming? If so, then maybe TAR 18 might still be filming when TAR 17 ends on TV, give and take a couple of days from 21.The seasons were longer then though, remember, All Stars had 13 single length legs. But they still could possibly end later.

"Just saw two contestants from the @TheAmazingRace in Vienna, Austria !! :D"
Europe- AWESOME :D

Thats fits with Merci'stheory they are in a cold place.
I'd be inclined to buy a connecting airport theory. Madrid-Barajas handles 45 million+ passengers a year compared to Vienna's 18 million passengers.
IIRC, Madrid was a connecting city used by some teams to get out of Morocco back in TAR 3, and that was a leg headed towards Germany/Austria.
So that raises the possible inference of either a leg in Spain (they haven't had any clues anywhere in Spain outside of Barcelona TAR 10 (IIRC), and the port in TAR 3 to head to Morocco) or a leg in Morocco (where they have not been in a long time.)
This is pure speculation on my part based upon trying to understand what the flight from Madrid to Vienna implies.
The Madrid sighting for me is very suspicious because all the weekend there were problems to all the Spanish airports due to the traffic controllers strike. The government declared a state of emergency and on Friday and Saturday most flights were cancelled. I know the sighting says Sunday but it still would be risky to use a Spanish airport.
Just spec, but I say keep your eyes on Slovenia in the next couple of days...
Very close proximity to Vienna... only a 4 hour drive from capital to capital

Well all we have is one guy who says he saw the cowboys departing from Madrid airport. There is definitely some room for misinterpretation or mistake there. Maybe someone could get him some pictures?

It seems odd for them to fly from India to Spain (east to west)
and then fly from Spain to Austria (west to east)
UNLESS
they fly south to Africa afterwards...
Ha, on the preview for the next eppy of TAR 17, they have a "special surprise for what the next Season will be". I "wonder what it is?" :lol:
I wonder if it's not only the official reveal of the title for TAR18, but maybe an early cut teaser with things already shot from legs in Australia, Japan and China or maybe the official announcement of the teams in the cast.
Also by the time the TAR17 finale is shown, we'll be on the final stretch of the TAR18 in terms of filming, which will make it really interesting.
I think we are dealing with a 2-3 day hole between sightings, so there is plenty of time for another 1-2 legs somewhere between India (only saw them at the airport there) and Spain (airport only) or Austria. And if the theory of Madrid being transit only holds, then I don't think it is unusual to go from India to, let's say Northern Africa, and then to Austria... then probably 2-3 more legs in Europe and a Finale on the East/South East Coast late this week.[/color]

Either it's a hoax, or the cowboys are in troubleIt's just a thought but wouldn't it be too late to send them to the mansion? According to the other topic we are thinking there have been 7 or 8 legs out of 12 and usually after leg 7 racers stay with production and only call the villa to let the others know they are out.
What that video isn't for real???? hee hee Great job to whoever made it.
Found thisTK & Rachel?!"Kynt" maybe misheard as "TK".

I saw them trying to take a taxi, they were in front of a monument or something, close to a Christmas market.
Therefore, it's confirmed that Jet/Cord, TK/Rachel & Flighttime/Bigeasy is safe :)
Hmm.. a task close to the christmas market? haha!
Or someone is trying to play us. :lol3:
Neobie posted earlier in ref to the Madrid info:I'd be inclined to buy a "this is bull****" theory. :lol: Be cautious about being played!
Production is posting fake twitters and fake FB posts...be cautious!
Wow wouldnt expect production to stoop that low.
So Madrid and Vienna cannot be confirmed?
Really? Wow. Lots of posting then. :)
Well... If you look in the Episode 1 spoilers, you can see it.
Hmm, lets try analysing the guy who tweeted about TK & Rachel.
He mentioned hippy. I think it's likely to be the goth.
Filming date for TAR 17: May 26, 2010 June 15, 2010
He created tweeter on september 26th.
He created his youtube a/c on the september 26th.
Hmm, both at the same time. Pretty suspicious. ----- (1)
He tweeted this to kevjumba.
@kevjumba The All Star Season is just around the corner. Would you and you dad go if invited?
on the 9th November. No one has a clue that the next season wld be an all-star.. or.. do we?
Suspicion ---------- (2)
However,
He has been regularly updating twitter since 24th November. There were two tweet which caught my eye.
1) Time to start a vlog series starting today! Thursday, 25 November, 2010 10:31:20 PM via Twitter for iPhone
2) Haha just got asked about my Film already. Cool! Monday, 29 November, 2010 8:29:09 AM via Twitter for iPhone
Suspicion --------- (3)
Lol. Okay im pretty confused. Because, i can clear all this suspicion with this.
Youtube page -
Last Visit Date: 1 day ago
Hmm, wouldnt the producers be busy to even have time to watch youtube videos? lol!
Cos they have to plan the next leg and stuff like that right?
Haha! Okay this is getting long. I hope nobody is confused.
My say is that his source is kinda reliable.
He's probably an intern at WRP they asked to make random sightings.
So just to be clear. We know of "some" person who tweeted to Kevin from S17 "aka" Kevjumba and asked him if he would go on an All-Stars season. Then that same person just so happens to spot TK and Rachel as part of S18? That does sound pretty fishy to me and not like a reliable source.
JasonTennisFanIf teams depart Mumbai at Dec5...they can get to Vienna at Dec6?
"# Anyway I saw they were carrying these envelopes marked amazing race. I was curious. Some sort of race? Hope I was on tv!!! 10:33 AM Dec 5th via Twitter for iPhone

He's been talking to KevJumba since 13 Nov and doesn't know what The Amazing Race is? :lol3:
Yes, they can leave Mumbai on 5 Dec and arrive in Vienna on 6 Dec. In fact, I'm thinking that's what they do (connecting from somewhere through Mumbai to Europe). But that doesn't mean that this guy isn't a fraud.
Great point! They have used Portugal before for sequester, but yes, they usually only send 6 teams to sequester, so it is right on the cusp.
:welcome: to RFF, Shiryu01!!
Hmmm... i notice all of those "fakers" seem to be chatting with kevjumba.

The issue with Jet/Cord was that at the time they were 'departing' from Madrid's airport, there were no flights out for hours; this suggests highly that this is a fake.

Tk and Rachel won their season though.If this is a second chance or redemption season then there's no way they'd be included in the cast.

I find that Austrian rail report very intriguing. I think one element of this particular Race we need to keep in mind is trying to use locations that come across the best in HD. Going to the Alps is definitely one way to do it.

and interestingly...there was a lot of "smoke" about Egypt around....
So Kisha/Jen sighted on train to Zurich? But what is interesting is that they have camera crew with them, but not filming, and the report says they were not in a hurry.
Do the camera crews assigned to the teams travel with them when they are eliminated? Or are they sending the eliminated teams on a decoy train and plain tour of Europe??Our Elimination station will be the teams all appearing in different locations this year.... :cmas27
The cameraguys were not filming but the cameras were out not covered by anything. Furthermore they carried the cameras using some kind of belt/rods contraption that looks like it allows the cameraman to run and film at the same time.
Them being on a Chur-Zurich train and them beeing seen in Austria yesterday points to a stopover in the Lichtenstein region.
I really wonder what tonights pit stop will be.
If they were in the Middle East, Qatar and Bahrain are possible. Qatar Airways flies to Vienna from Doha, and Bahrain to Vienna, there are no direct nonstops, but connecting through Dubai is probable.
Its a real good possiblity they were in the middle east.
Some people delete their tweets because they don't like all the attention...so that 1+1 does not necessarily =2.
Another website is stating that Gary/Mallory and Ron/Chris have been spotted along with Kynt/Vyxsin, Globtrotters and Cowboys.
They are also saying that Kisha/Jen have been spotted on a train, not in a hurry and no camera crew around them.
They are coming to the conclusion that there have been 3 legs after Jaime/Cara's eliminated, and that Zev/Justin, Margie/Luke and now Kisha/Jen have been eliminated.
Making the final 5 Goths, Globtrotters, Cowboys, Ron/Chris and Gallory.

I understand, It all depends on how recent the spottings have been. The race is coming to an end, its plausible that 3 teams have been sent home and we havent seen any evidence of Zev/Justin, Margie/Luke anywhere!!!! And Kisha/Jen appeared to be eliminated. So the signs are pointing to it but who knows?
I am sad about Margie/Luke :cmas4 :cmas4
Read the Timeline, post one.
All sightings will be there. There is just no new info either way.
So all of y'all could be helping to search photo sites, blogs, FB... we need firm facts right now, not creative writing! :lol:
I am sad about Margie/Luke :cmas4 :cmas4
This is what I mean...you are sad why? Because there is NO EVIDENCE saying they are eliminated? We haven't seen anyone but K/J recently and a possibly false/possibly not sighting of the Cowboys in Madrid...and even there it is hard to say what was going on. They would not be going to sequester...so who knows?
I can't say who is left with the info we have.... no one can.
And Leichtenstein cannot be confirmed from one train connection either...
Let's alll look closely at what we have...and not jump to any conclusions.

I had a dream yesterday, that there was start line challenge with 20 teams brought back and only 11 survived the cut.
Any ways, I really do hope Africa was a destination this season.

I would actually like that so much, and it would fit in with the TBC of the first leg, ala Poker Girls.
Although, it is really really unlikely :P,

Interesting dream/theory on the 20 teams brought back - I kind of liked the s15 start line challenge as it gave them an extra incentive to be the best straight off he bat and it could also explain why 5 s14 teams got onto the race!
I doubt this would happen though
^ Well I can narrow it down for you....
It seems as though Either Margie/Luke or Zev/Justin got 8th.....and the other probably got 7th.

We can't say that though. Just because they weren't seen doesn't mean that they were axed (see: Kisha/Jen in TAR 14, Brent/Caite in TAR 16 among many others)

Seeing that my Twitter leak is In question. I am in America (nc), and I was not the one that in fact spotted them. My good mate lives in Madrid and was talking to me about it a few days back. He's restated what he said about TK after people were flipping out on here and other places(reality forums). He did in fact see a "hippy type" team.
This maybe a random tangent but this could be relivent. April Johnston from Project runway gave a lecture at my school and said that producers do have fake contestents that are used to keep a show that is filmed space out intact. I am obligated to trust my bud on this one and say that's it's either a fake team used as a sort of red herring or a team that no one expected in it.
So to sum thing up;
jet&cord were seen in Madrid running around and stated something about how "TK" is right behind him. My theroy is that this could also be a joke if a team like the goths had to dress similar to a hippy.
Hope this clears things up
You're supposed to look at LAST ACTIVE. Not local time.
No sweetie, that is his own local time. Not a check in to RFF time.

He's restated what he said about TK after people were flipping out on here and other places(reality forums). He did in fact see a "hippy type" team.
This maybe a random tangent but this could be relivent. April Johnston from Project runway gave a lecture at my school and said that producers do have fake contestents that are used to keep a show that is filmed space out intact. I am obligated to trust my bud on this one and say that's it's either a fake team used as a sort of red herring or a team that no one expected in it.
So to sum thing up;
jet&cord were seen in Madrid running around and stated something about how "TK" is right behind him. My theroy is that this could also be a joke if a team like the goths had to dress similar to a hippy.
Hope this clears things up
Hmm to me this is highly fake.
One reason being, how in the world does he know that the ppl in the reality forum are flipping out?
(Unless he was actually reading whatever we have been posting all along)
I find it odd that an American uses the word "Mate" too. I thought that was our thing? :cmas5
Idk... people still use 'mate' over here- granted it's only a small fraction of the population- but it's still usedsaw this on survivorsucks

I have somewhat of a noob question and am sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere.
When searching blogs for sightings etc how do you go about it?As in do you just search in google or is there some other way?

It is just step by step searching, any way you can think of. There is no easy recipe. Use mutiple search words...not just amazing race.
In Austria, there may have been a food challenge on the famous Wiener Riesenrad (German for "Viennese giant wheel") Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Austria's capital Vienna.
There may have also been a task involving carrying "Freud's couch" to The University of Vienna.
Race over now ?No. They are still going at it! ;)
I know it's real tempting to post possible filming locations, but to keep mobs of people from showing up there and disrupting things, I suggest sending the info to Peach for whether it should be released. Her inbox is full, but her email address appears to be contactrff@bellsouth.net.
That and one or two other tidbits was what I was trying to contact Peach about. :cmas31:
Good advice Plaidmoon. She is not usually pleased when people are posting stuff like this. Unfortunately she is currently offline.
Someone said over at sucks they are finishing in Miami either Tomorrow or Saturday.I think it'd likely be tomorrow, seeing as how that'd be Day 21, and the race only tapes twenty-one days now.

Thanks, King Crimson88! I may be too cautious, but I've heard stories about what happened (or almost happened) in Portland a few seasons back. I don't want to risk messing things up. It can always be posted later if the mods think it's OK.

Thank you Plaidmoon! You are 100% coorect. I still have nightmares about the actual finale Pitstop being known ahead of time in Portland. Can y'all imagine our final three trying to race thru hoards of media, fans, or the curious?
Anyone who truly loves TAR will understand why it is important to be very cautious about what and WHEN info should be released.
I just started watching the amazing race, so what happened in Portland?
Yeah! Sounds interesting! What season was it?!
Also- Swiss alps would be FANTASTIC in HD sounds like they are going all oUt with destinations this season.
I think Bogota, Columbia could be a pheasable location before the finale. It hasn't been visited yet and it has some good connections to the US.
I think he meant to say that he'd like to see a stop in Columbia on the way to the typical US end city. Of course, I have to agree that Columbia would not be a smart choice to stop, as no one would make it back to the US if no one was fortunate enough to survive in Columbia!
As far as the location of the finale, as well as the eventual placement, I have to say no thanks! Well, I'd love to know the location, but I agree: nothing disclosed until it's all over. After 10 years, why jeopardize TAR and all its history/great moments? Personally, since I follow the spoilers with everything that goes on, I love to learn of the final 3 placement in advance. That way, I'm prepared in case of a non-favorite ending, or even a favorite ending.
Having said that, I'd still rather not know the Final 3 placement until within a week before the finale, at the earliest (and if that info is released, not in the public of course). I am very thankful for the awesome staff here for keeping that under wraps. And even when I got to the finale with the obvious ending (seasons circa 2008-2009), it wasn't (always) known which made watching it with everyone that much more exciting!
Anyway, there's that! As for TAR18 now, I am so impressed with Ron/Chris' run. Not sure I'd call them the best team of all time, but they're up there, and maybe the most consistent team that has never really been in danger of being eliminated. IOW, they haven't come in last ever (though it's worth pointing out that in their original season there were only 2 NELs).
If the producers count the borken hill leg as leg 2 it means most likely there will be only 2 non elimination legs. Anyone agree?

so does that mean ron/chris are in the final 3 or...? hahaha!

Columbia is a violent country. Besides, I think the writers always wants to end in America.
A usa travel advisory means they wont likely visit it.
Someone posted this over at sucks:
It is fake:"Hey guys my first post I think it will help!
I was in Monrovia for the last 3 weeks just got home and I saw teams running in downtown Monrovia. (unfortunatley I had no camera).
I for sure so Luke and Margie and Kisha and Jen, I believe they were working together (?) maybe as part of an intersection."
Monrovia is the capital of Liberia, West Africa.
It's is a fake, if the guy watched S14, he would know that Margie/Luke, Kisha/Jen will NEVER work together.
Kisha/Jen probably U-turned Margie/Luke in one of the legs....
You are going to have to take this on faith, but
RIO! today!

We still don't know who's final 3.
^ there are many Rio's in the world, but I know it's Rio de Janeiro (site of 2016 Olympics) Peach is referring. :lol:
I agree with the person over in the other thread RIO means Race is Over.You are a wise one. :funny:

I agree if u do not believe RFF the read other forums. I also do mot believe that race is or suppose to finish today. 21 days is way to short.Kacper,
If it was Sao Paulo I'd be scouring the city trying to find them (or at least trying to spot the clue boxes), can't help with Rio though.
Clearly they don't read us. :lol3:

First sign of being fake:
They got the date wrong. The finale airs on December 12, not 11... :groan: :hides
Really? This must be a first to go to South America last.I agree with the person over in the other thread RIO means Race is Over.You are a wise one. :funny:

That depends doesn't it? If you want to believe other sites, then feel free. If you want to believe RFF...then no. The race is NOT over today. Watch Rio de Janierio.
Have fun!
At present, there are 3 flights in the air on the way to Miami from Rio.....Do you know that they are headed to Miami? Or is this just speculation?
1) JJ 8056---340am EST
2) AA 904----417am EST
3) AA 990----506am EST
It would probably be a good idea to monitor Twitter and Facebook for updates as soon as they land.

Hello everyone, Have been following this Season closely since they started in Australia.
I am hoping that the final three teams will be Zev/Justin, Gary/Mallory and the Cowboys.
They should have the final leg go through Canada or Alaska as they have not been there for a while.

I don't think it is true either. Africa that late in the race doesn't make sense, especially since the Rio info is out there now.
Considering how 16 was essentially decided by who got through customs quickest, I wonder if we might see a finale in a non-direct from Rio city like Tampa or Philadelphia just to shake things up.
I don't think it is true either. Africa that late in the race doesn't make sense, especially since the Rio info is out there now.
USsoccer, if you look at a map and compute total distance (which I admittedly haven't done), I believe that anything on the west coast of Africa down to about Liberia would be shorter for the two transportation legs (to Africa and to the U.S. East Coast) than the total of going to Rio and then to the U.S. East Coast.
Regarding Venezuela: Production might not let teams travel in Caracas due to safety reasons, but how about a leg in the Canaima National Park like in TARLA2? Or would it still be considered too dangerous?

I guess they have left the city proper and are in the suburbs.I don't think they are in Rio anymore.
Regarding Venezuela: Production might not let teams travel in Caracas due to safety reasons, but how about a leg in the Canaima National Park like in TARLA2? Or would it still be considered too dangerous?
Good question?? I think it might be safe, its mainly a tourist area with nearby Angel Falls.
Although it might be safe it will cost more for insurance and the production crew does not want that.
The finale will be somewhere where they can show off their HD equipment.
Today is now the 22nd day of filming, interesting.
Niagara Falls?
Frustrated. Because we know where they are. But don't know who's left。
When did teams arrived in Rio? Could there be a second leg somewhere else in Brazil like inland?
22 or 23 days is not the 25 to 28 days it used to be with 13 episodes.
Flight schedules between countries don't always work like clockwork, either.
Considering they had the TBC leg it is possible to have 13 legs.

I cant be the only one wondering if There were more teams at the start fighting it out for a spot on the race?

Straight from the sneak peak show at the end of Season 17 - The Season 18 name:
'The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business'[/size]
My question is, why on earth is this race running longer than normal? Are they going back to a 13 leg race?
I cant be the only one wondering if There were more teams at the start fighting it out for a spot on the race?
At least CBS and WRP are not pretending this is a season of "All Stars" or fan favorites, but are teams they decided to give a second chance to. At least they got that part right. :cmaslol
Quick summary of that leg in TARLA please?
Quick summary of that leg in TARLA please?
This summary is from Wikipedia, which I know isn't always reliable, but in this instance, I figured it was ok to use.
Leg 1 (Brazil)
* Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil Brazil (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu Mirante Garganta do Diabo) (Starting Line)
* Foz do Iguaçu (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu Garganta do Diabo Falls (Portuguese))
* Foz do Iguaçu (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu Cânion Iguaçu)
* Flight: Foz do Iguaçu (Foz do Iguaçu International Airport) to Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul
* Porto Alegre (Hotel Deville) (Overnight Rest)
* Gramado (Portico Taquara) >Detour (Flores or Árbol)<
* Gramado (Mini Mundo)
* Gramado (Hotel Ritta Höppner) >Pit Stop (Leg 1)<
The Detour in this leg was Flores o Árbol ("Flowers or Tree"). In Flores, teams made their way to Lago Negro. Once there, teams had to take a swan boat out and paddle to the other shore to pick up a basket of flowers from a villager. Then they had to go back to the dock and give the basket to a female villager to receive their next clue. In Árbol, teams made their way to the Aldeia Do Papai Noel. Once in the village, teams searched in the "Arvore dos desejos" for a "Mimo" with their names written on it, which they had to give to a Goblin in order to receive their next clue.
Additional tasks
* In Garganta do Diabo Falls, teams were instructed to find their bikes in Espaço Naipi and then ride to Mirante 2. There, they had to walk to the Canion Iguaçu entrance. In the entrance was the cluebox with their next clue.
* In Canion Iguaçu, teams had to rappel down to the Iguaçu River shore. At the shore, teams needed to raft 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) down the river to Puerto Macuco dock. The cluebox with their next clue was waiting at the dock.
* In Mini Mundo, teams had to find five characters that were hidden in some models of the park. They needed to match the characters with the places where they were hiding. After they were approved, teams received their next clue.
Could that Twitter guy mistaken TARLA season 2
I posted the Miami flights because they will arrive in the US, the earliest. Here are some other Rio to US flights, arriving this morning on the East Coast.....
4) Atlanta--DL60...arriving ~530am EST
5) Charlotte --AW801 (US Airways) ~602am EST
6) NYC
JJ 8058-- arriving ~520am EST
AA 256-- arriving ~ 629am EST
I do not know if any teams are on any of these flights.....we have had NO sightings in Rio...which I dont expect to have....Its just a heads up to anyone that would like to follow Twitter and Facebook after the planes arrive in the US.
The most important part of the promo for TAR 18, in my eyes, was when Phil said "And the chance to prove they deserve a second chance."
To me, that almost implies some sort of starting line task to qualify for the top 11.
The CBS Early Show presentation of the $1 million check to Nat and Kat is over, with Brook and Claire also there. Brook said they had been invited to be in AR18, but Claire's visible pregnancy prevented it.

WOW! Really? That is about the most selfish thing anyone could say...
Wishing someone not to have a baby just so you can be entertained for an hour each week?
And, I doubt they had all the 30+ teams shown in the preview at the starting line. Hope they did though... That would show even more how S14 rocked! Until the first three eliminations I guess... : (
Doesn't Connor work in Korea now? Maybe hes too busy. I'm not sure about Kevin.
I so wanted Brooke and Claire (hope for another season that can feature them)
I guess Ken and Tina Broke up again. Toni was too old and don't want to. Starr and Nc won
others weren't memorable . The college boys were funny ' Maria sharapova? Annna kourilova lol

It appears from his tweets, that he saw "very tall black guys"....which sounds like Flight Time and Big Easy......I dont think that TARLA had any really tall black guys.....from the pics I saw early in the race.

oops didnt mean to if it was against the rules butwhy?
I'm not sure [apskip] meant it that way. Can't speak for him though. For me, I am happy that Claire is expecting her first child. However, I'm saddened that the race is being taped while she's pregnant. Even if TAR18 had started taping in March after she delivered, she'd still be unavailable.
So yes, it's a shame that they would have made it (which could have meant no Jaime/Cara) but IMO, family is more important than any race. No one knew that this year was going to feature a return of past racers, and there's no guarantee that Brook/Claire would have been selected to return.
So how is it that they apparently landed over 6 hours ago and there has been so sightings? :cmas5
They have surely finished racing by now, though.
USoccer... thats just so wrong to say. Anyways, other websites are posting that Brook and Claire and Team Jumba may be back for this season! It's funny cause we know that they arent!... Unless there was a pre starting line elimination.
Which is why Rob, Puddin, Peach, and TL have built this site to be the best at reality tv spoilers!
They have surely finished racing by now, though.
Not if Luke is doing the final challenge and it involves surf boards... :cmaslol
I think it took him over 2 hrs last time! :cmas50

The only explanation for the no sightings is there must have been a sighting if you get what I am saying.

I think he will be able to read it with a smile on his face. He knows he lost the race 2 years ago and he beat himself up over it... but that didn't keep him from bragging about the race for a long while... and now he got another shot at it! His to win now! Just think what the odds are for any regular person to make it on the Race, TWICE! He can consider himself to be one of the luckiest people (in TAR fan terms anyways).

The Amazing Race's next season: Unfinished business

STORYPHOTOS ( 1 )
The Amazing Race's 18th season will bring back popular teams who lost the race to travel the globe again.
Photograph by: CBS, CBS
During every season finale of The Amazing Race, we always feel bad for the eliminated teams that have to stand at the welcome mat to congratulate the winners. But for many of this seasons losers, last nights finale wasnt that upsetting, because theyll be getting another chance next season.
According to Courant.com, Season 18 of The Amazing Race is subtitled Unfinished Business and will take popular teams who didnt win the race and send them around the globe once again. Several of the Season 17 teams have already been cast, including father-daughter team Gary and Mallory, almost-quitters Nick and Vicki (boo!), newly engaged Chad and Stephanie, father-son team Michael and Kevin and the a capella singers Connor and Jonathan.
While the next season could be called an All-Star season, the casting directors only chose teams from recent years to compete. From Season 16 are cowboys Jet and Cord, ditsy models Brent and Caite and detectives Louie and Michael.
Season 15 teams include Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, poker players Mari and Tiffany, plus Zev and Justin (whom Courant.com describes as the Aspergers guy and his friend).
From Season 14, theyre bringing back father-son team Mel and Mike, NFL cheerleaders (and lookalikes) Jaime and Cara, stuntment Mark and Michael, mother-and-deaf-son Margie and Luke, couple Amanda and Kris and sisters Kisha and Jen.
Mother and son team Toni and Dallas, last seen losing their passports in Season 13, will get another chance, as will Season 12s father-daughter team Ronald and Christina and dating Goths Kynt and Vyxsin.
If that seems like a ridiculous number of teams, it is but its also an All-Star season, and the first one to be shot in HD, so The Amazing Race needs to be bigger than ever before. Season 18 of The Amazing Race debuts Feb. 20, 2011.

I can guarantee you that the eleven I saw were the only 11, unless they packed up the clue boxes so they could experience the joy of putting them back up again.

it has been widely speculated online for months that TAR 18 could be an "All-Stars" of some sort. While that term is not being used officially
There does seem to be a certain selection of teams who may have something they have wanted/needed to prove.... second chances, particular rematches, old rivalries revived??
Do you know who the final three is?
Do you know who the final three is?
:welcome3: to TAR 18 FINALE DAY!
ALL 11 teams have arrived into Miami airport from Sao Paulo Brazil.
8 teams exited customs and immediately began racing decoy thru Miami airport....some with clues in hand...in MIAMI airport on a busy Monday morning around 930!!I spent most of yesterday looking for clues - nothing out there - or it was hidden under tons of TAR17 congratulatory tweets. (Apparently TAR 17 ended on Sunday.)
And you are telling me that there is not one tweet or Facebook or blog post about this?? Or.....HORRORS...did no one here look? ??? :cmas5
Come on guys...get busy!! :hearts:

Was ES in Brazil? I like that! :cmas16
Yeah now I think about it, it's possible that ES was in SE Asia or Australia. Then a flight to Sao Paulo from Sydney or Auckland.
My post from yesterday morning at about 1030am confirmed that it had to be AA930 arriving 2 hours and 1 minute late into Miami.8 teams exited customs and immediately began racing decoy thru Miami airport....some with clues in hand...in MIAMI airport on a busy Monday morning around 930!!I spent most of yesterday looking for clues - nothing out there - or it was hidden under tons of TAR17 congratulatory tweets.

Miami Florida, wp. I believe they came in on AA930 if that helps. They would have been in the city from about 10am to 6pm roughly.
All the TAR17 finale stuff really clogs it up for sure.
Our unknown destination between Switzerland and Brazil could be anywhere in Europe or North Africa making room for a new country. Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Malta, Algeria and Serbia are the main possibilities.
Yeah now I think about it, it's possible that ES was in SE Asia or Australia. Then a flight to Sao Paulo from Sydney or Auckland.
Yes, it could have been there but why not South America? There are plenty of nice resorts to send them to along the Atlantic coast in Brazil, or to an estancia in Uruguay or Argentina or even to somewhere near Santiago. The 2 places I know for sure that have non-stop flights from Auckland are Santiago and Buenos Aires and from Buenos Aires you can get to Uruguay or Brazil.
In RFF's history of spoiling, has there ever been an ES sighting?
Imagine, right now.. we only know who the first 3 teams eliminated are... as opposed to knowing the F3...
There are some people who only watch TAR because of the teams they like... imagine if everyone knew who the F3 are... it could potentially affect ratings... and it does not help too IF the F3 consist of 3 teams which the audiences generally do not like.
Just my two cents. :cmas16
*cough* TAR 11 *cough*
I wish they would go to Salzburg!!!!!!!! :cmas29
I know off topic, pitstop on second leg of season 14 was in Salzburg.

It depends on your definition of 2 legs. Phil was present, and a greeter, but they never had the rest period in Sydney.
If 9 of 11 teams were spotted in Miami airport, do you think the Elimination Station is located somewhere in the Caribbean?

All the teams came in via Sao Paulo. No idea where ES is....I was guessing Asia.

Hope it's in Asia and i feel that it is located in Southeast Asia if this is their ES location and these are my possible choices:
Thailand, Malaysia or the Philippines.

Is this season where they have final 2?
Something I noticed when looking at the pictures:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Finale%20LIVE%2012-13-10/K-JandFT-BE2marked-Copy.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Finale%20LIVE%2012-13-10/Jenattaximarked-Copy.jpg)
Headscarves? In Miami? Especially since Kisha had no issue with showing off her crazy cool hairdo (and, given how TAR tries to orient teams by name as they face camera, I think it's Kisha in pic 9)?
I recall in TAR 13, when they had a stop in Bangkok en route to Delhi, they had teams wear headbands / bandannas / tied scarves in order to identify themselves as racers (Dan/Andrew had yellow). Perhaps, with everyone (or nearly everyone) there and grabbing clues, they felt a similar need to identify active racers?
Because of where they were and the weather conditions I would go with eastern France, southern Germany, or northern Italy.
I also wouldn't rule out the UK area.

So this means it was a TBC leg or 2 legs :cmas5 :cmas5
If so there was no rest period in Sydney....
We have our newest twist!!
A 30 second Pit stop! Where you can take 2 deep breaths and get back out there! :cmaslol
but then leg "1" is a NEL and I heard leg 3 was one to?!
that means a lot of eliminations in a row :cmas5
imo, i think the final 3 teams for TAR 18 (Unfinished Business) are: the Globetrotters, Gary and Malory and Zev and Justin.
Looks like we are lucky our racers made it home when they did!

Would Puerto Rico count as So America though?
No, Puerto Rico is a US territory, you don't need a passport to go there. I thought most people considered the Caribbean part of Central America which is North America.
I know Wikipedia isnt the best source, but the Demographics for SA don't include the Caribbean, but North America does.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/South_america#Demographics
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/North_America#Countries_and_territories
So I think its proper to say that TAR18 is the first season with a South American penultimate leg.
Were there flights in Europe got affected in the race by the snowstorm? Just as what is being seen in the news recently. Hope the racers were fine.
Were there flights in Europe got affected in the race by the snowstorm? Just as what is being seen in the news recently. Hope the racers were fine.
TAR 18 ended prior to the heavy snows.
So let me correct it, so it will be the first time that the penultimate leg will be in a South American Country. Now i got it. Hope i've done it right.
Has it been speculated or confirmed that the TAR 18 premier will be longer than one hour? Does anyone believe that the first episode of a season would end without a team being eliminated?
Other than the announced premiere date of February 20th, and the assumed start time being the usual 8 pm, EST, CBS has not announced anything about the length or content of the first episode.
In all likelihood, CBS will announce the teams and the schedule for that night in late January.
As apskip pointed out.....it is easier to fly to Zurich from Vienna, then take the train from Zurich to Buchs SG. Unless Production did another rolling pit stop and used the train from Vienna to Buchs SG. One thing I have noticed in TAR 18, is what I call a "rally point." By that, I mean that park/courtyard in Sydney where all the teams hung out for a while and the same thing in Lijiang......where those people talked to Christina. Production may have been doing this all along and I just never noticed it till now. If they did have a pit stop around Liechtenstein, Buchs or Sargans.......K/J could have been in transit to another "rally point" in Zurich or to their hotel in Zurich before the next leg. Or as speculated before, they are eliminated and on the way to a hotel/flight to Brasil. I would think that Production would want to separate the teams on the way to Zurich to keep them from all being noticed......maybe.
Someone mentioned what a small country Liechtenstein is.......yes it is one of those small European pincipalities.......but I just think of Liechtenstein as a very large bank.

Liechtenstein is the world's largest producer of sausage casings and false teeth. :stirtp: You would think the Race could use that somehow. :snics:What an awesome fact! That could make an interesting Detour! :cmas22

You're right, I remember those too. I think it was AS b/c Dustin and Kandice did it too.
The teeth were from season 14 i remember margie doing the task they had to fix someone's teeth in Thailand.

Hi everyone! Just a few observations and questions. Any answers would be greatly appreciated
I noticed after reading through the threads, we don't seem to know much concrete information past Jamie and Cara's elimination. Allegedly, we've lost some teams along the way i.e. Gallory, Zev/Justin, but does that neccesarily mean that they were eliminated? Also, as for Kisha/Jen and FT/BE being spotted in Switzerland and Rio respectively (sp?), for that matter, are we sure it was real and not decoy? I for one think Kisha/Jen may've been eliminated prior to Switzerland, but were still on the course as decoys seeing as they apparently didn't have a camera crew near nor did they seem active.
So basically, what I'm boiling it down to may be (and please bear with me as I may be thinking out loud)
*We know for sure the first 3 eliminated teams right?
*We've lost track (for now) of Gallory, Zev/Justin, Ron/Chris, Margie/Luke, Cowboys?
*Kisha and Jen were spotted in Switzerland, but may not have actually been racing
*Flight Time and Big Easy were spotted in Rio, but potentially as decoys as well?
*We can ASSUME that the alleged F6 (if I remember correctly) is: Gallory, Goths, Ron/Chris, Globetrotters, Kisha/Jen, Cowboys?
*Above point would mean that 7th/8th would go to Margie/Luke and Zev/Justin (interchangeable positions?)
So is this pretty much what we know? Please correct me if I'm wrong (which I hope to God I am) since I'm only a newbie. Thanks and Happy Spoiling!

*We've lost track (for now) of Gallory, Zev/Justin, Ron/Chris, Margie/Luke, Cowboys?
*Kisha and Jen were spotted in Switzerland, but may not have actually been racing
*Flight Time and Big Easy were spotted in Rio, but potentially as decoys as well?
*We can ASSUME that the alleged F6 (if I remember correctly) is: Gallory, Goths, Ron/Chris, Globetrotters, Kisha/Jen, Cowboys?
*Above point would mean that 7th/8th would go to Margie/Luke and Zev/Justin (interchangeable positions?)
So is this pretty much what we know? Please correct me if I'm wrong (which I hope to God I am) since I'm only a newbie. Thanks and Happy Spoiling!
TBH, there is no photo evidence that has been released that points to Zermatt and Varanasi.
I would be surprised if Leg 9's pitstop was at Zermatt.
Over at Sucks, they are saying the final three is Gary/Mallory, Zev/Justin and i think the cowboys... is it true?
Sorry to go back in time and return to the Oz leg, but I speculate that the Mayor of Broken Hill, Wincen Cuy, was there to greet the teams with Phil at the pit stop at the Junction Mine. (source: http://www.bdtruth.com.au/index.php?news&article=1271)
I also posted this in the Media thred.
Survivor's next cycle cast was just officially announced, so I'd expect TAR's cast will also be officially announced within the next few hours or maybe tomorrow.
It is never usually that close.
Both. I think it usually about 2 weeks later, someone could check the dates from the last couple of seasons if we want to be exact.

It looks like last year Survivor revealed on August 9 and TAR revealed on the 31st. That's three weeks between the two.
They could practically do the same thing this year since Survivor came out yesterday (the ninth) and wait on TAR until the end of the month.

Just saw Kynt posted on facebook:
"Sealed lips are getting ready to open.......... xoxo"
Are they announcing the cast soon???
:yess:
Cast release will be soon. Not that we need it or anything. :funny:
Not to mention we released the full cast list before the teams ever left LAX. :tup:
From what I have heard our top 3 are confirmed....
1. Jet and Cord :yess:
2. Zev and Justin
3. Gary and Mallory

If that is true, then Jet & Cord are the first ever team, and the third person ever to make the Final 3 twice.
Though, I'd take it with a pinch of salt, since Jet & Cord fans would like their cowboys to be 1st, if you know what I mean. ;)

god i hope this isnt true :/
I don't believe this anyway.
I have a feeling though that that's not the F3. I'm not sure why, just being skeptical. I'd like a Zev/Justin and Gallory for sure F3, but what it soujnds like, in seemingly every F3 prediction, we have Gallory. So I'm farily sure that Gallory IS in F3. As for the alleged Cowboys and Zev/Justin, I've heard no one mention the Cowboys in F3 so I don't know how accurate that is. I've also heard potential Zev/Justin F3, but again, I'm not sure how accurate that is (though I really hope it is). So the most I've heard as a F3 group was:
Gallory
Zev/Justin
Globetrotters or Margie/Luke
(I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume this is the F4? :O) That'd be a good F4 though :D....though I'm a newbie so I could very well be wrong...

I did indeed hear this info from sucks.
Guys, so far we (the general public of this site), only have up to the Final 8
with only the Globetrotters and Kisha/Jen confirmed to be in the Final 5/6.
No Final 3, no nothing.
And until I see some CONCRETE evidence from those people over at sucks, I'm going to be VERY skeptical about the "I heard Team A, Team B, and Team C are in the Final 3!!!1!" garbage
otherwise, it's just pure speculation being proclaimed as fact
and it would appear that either Margie/Luke or Zev/Justin were the 8th place team, so I really don't think they're both in the Final 4

I, on the other hand.. felt that Margie and Luke did not make the F6 as decoy teams at least.
If i'm right, it will really suck.. i'm kinda rooting for Margie and Luke!!
I would like the F3 to be:
1. Margie and Luke
2. Gary and Mallory
3. Zev and Justin
I do not like the cowboys and I would love for them to get the boot!

GP, I think the zoo needs some fresh raw meat to chew on. :lol3:
I think it was in TAR 11 in Argentina........on the Martial Glacier.:tup: They probably pulled that out of the discard bin; the teams of TAR4 (ep 1) had a Search/Rescue Detour, but everybody chose the zipline.
Heee...cast reveal soon! :kuss:
How about...didn't teams once use a "locater" thingy in the snow?? I think it very likely we will see something similiar in the Zermatt leg.
Let's try to keep this to real speculation and not wish lists please? :kuss:
Anyone else notice that the official website says it will air at 10 PM instead of the usual 8 PM? Anyone know why?
I'm just wondering why the CBS Site has called Kynt & Vyxsin as Kent & Vyxsin? :spell
Can someone please explain, because I am a little confused. :idgit Thanks! :ty3:

Kent is his real name, always has been. He recently started calling himself Kent after his father died.
Everything I see shows 8...can you do a screencap of the 10 stuff?
And as per the Timeline, Broken Hill is a separate episode.
I've checked the TAR show page at The Futon Critic, and they do not show any time change for the new season. If there is a change coming, they'd probably be the first to know.

I also noticed that Kisha was credited as LaKisha. I don't recall her ever being called that before.
I really thought she was LaKisha last time. Since her sister calls her Kisha.......everyone else changed it too. I do remember LaKisha.....it is not new to me, fwiw.
I am so glad they dumped the FTBE...they have names. :)
I will have to go back and look, but I think it was Phil that called them FTBE at the start and it just stuck. I know/think for about the first 3 episodes, I called her LaKisha.....but I got tired of typing all that and since her sister called her "Kisha", I started doing that too.I think Phil called them FT & BE at the first Pit Stop, then he called them Herb & Nate at the second Pit Stop, before returning to FT & BE for all subsequent Pit Stops.
Did anybody notice the clue(S) in Phil's back pocket? I guess he gives it to each team after they solve the paper airplane challenge.

I'm guessing that when he gives the start signal, somewhere behind him there is a mechanism to release the paper airplanes and have them blown around by the wind and the teams chase after them. Could be quite comical.
No start line elim of course based on spoilers! :yess:
Well who knows......
I wasn't surprised about Jet and Cord in Sydney, inasmuch as they had the same problem, more or less, on their first leg in TAR 16.
They do know how to make up time fast, though.
I have an issue with the assumption that all QANTAS flights from Los Angeles go to Sydney. The QANTAS route map shows nonstop flights from LA to Brisbane and to Melbourne. However, when I test those destinations in a QANTAS reservations system over a limited range of dates, I get all flights to Brisbane and Melbourne being connections through Sydney
Well wasn't Jet and Cord behind everybody by a lot in Australia? Because I can see them holding a team 30 minutes when they land or something. Though it is unlikely because why would they hold a team when their is a T.B.C leg.

Zev/Justin and Amanda/Kris not yet seen. Jaime/Cara and Kynt/Vyxsin spotted in US, can't see anything from in Australia yet.

After seeing the "Sucks" site mentioned several times, I decided to check it out for myself. Wow! what a difference from this forum and not in a good way. The language is unbelievable and it seems that folks there go out of their way to be vulgar just because they can. I think I'll stick to RFF, thank you!

and CBS on my computer says 9/8c too
Herb and Nate are listed as "Flight Time and Big Easy" and Kisha is listed as "LaKisha".

Make that the last ten years. They've always have problems that never get fixed. (Earliest one I can remember is a leaderboard error in the middle of TAR 3. We submitted messages to the CBS web monkeys at the time, and they never got it fixed.)

The Isla Redonda Unidad Postal Fin del Mundo ROADBLOCK was notable in that Rob lost to Mirna, causing ob/Amber to be eliminated after 3 consecutive first-place legs at the start of AR11. Otherwise, it was just a typical random task where Mirna's task was independent of Rob's. A more exciting random task would be AR6 at Bogs Gard Farm in Sweden where Lena unrolled hay bales. In that task, her results were not independent of the other teams coming in and finding one of the limited number of clues.
Apskip, I know that. But what I mean is the "memories" of past racers, like their letters, not the task of finding the letters itself. It is the "good luck" or the cursing letters of their past racers that I want to see. :groan:

Since TAR 18 started filming before TAR 17 Finale was shown, I wonder if any of the all-female teams said "We wanna be the first all girl-girl team to win this race." during their interviews.
The editors will most probably cut that out if that was said not to make them look dumb. :snicker:
Since there's been no title coming from CBS, I propose the following.:lol3: :lol3: :lol3: That would be a fitting title!

*WARNING: CRAPPY PREDICTION BELOW. XD*
My sheer imaginative prediction is that Jaime and Cara gets last in this task. I think they will be slapped with the U-Turn in China causing them to be eliminated.
PERSONAL OPINIONS REGARDING THE STARTING LINE SURPRISE.
Here's what I thought I heard:
The other teams will be on the second flight which lands about ___ hours after the first flight. But there's something else. The last team to complete this challenge will receive a penalty which will have a devastating effect in their stay in this race. [....] Automatic U-Turn.
My speculation is that the last team will get an automatic U-Turn somewhere within this race, not necessarily in Australia.
By deduction, one of the three teams on the second flight (which turned out to be the first one to arrive because of circumstances) suffers from this penalty.
OR Unless they have to find a plane ticket at the paper planes (there are two possible flights that can come up), which will switch up the order of finishing the task. This is actually better, I think, because it poses the question: Will you take time finding the first flight OR Will you finish this task as fast as possible no matter what flight you get to avoid being last and get the penalty? It's like which can benefit you in the race, short-run or long run? I hope you get what I mean. :lol:

Kent/vyksin finished last,but they are still running,phil said uturn ahead
?!!!
Thinking aloud here, don't mind me.
Is it possible, given the reversal of the flights that Amanda and Kris get the Automatic U-Turn for finishing last, and this was put into effect immediately after the first check in with Phil (in the speculated route markers prior to signing up for a charter flight) This may explain how they went from 2nd to 10th in what seemed such a short amount of time.

That would make sense and explain why Amanda & Kris were apparently the first team out of the Race. In that case, they really seem to get hit hard by U-Turns!

Remember everyone:
Jet and Cord arrived last at the midway check in point. Krimanda were eliminated at Broken Hill. The Cowboys were most likely U-Turned in Sydney. If the U-turn was in Sydney that is and I think it will be b/c I don't see why they would continue a penalty from the starting line to the second episode.
Ignore me if I'm missing something here, but I am under the impression that the penalty goes to the team that finished the initial start line task last. I'm also under the impression that this start line penalty earns that particular team an "automatic" U-Turn at some point in the Race.
I don't read this as meaning the penalty attached to the first Detour task of the Race, and it could be applied at the point where a U-Turn is first available (Blind, Double, or normal). That would make the most sense to me, because that particular team will be trying to stay far enough ahead of the back of the pack so they could complete both tasks of a detour that the U-Turn is available for, and still not be the last team to arrive at the pit stop for whatever leg the U-Turn first appears.
From a production viewpoint, this assures that both tasks of that particular Detour gets performed and thus not waste any production costs on something not used, and gives WRP something for the editors to play with. And it leaves the teams guessing when this will happen, and means that some other team(s) could also be U-Turned, as the U-Turn could still be a normal one, a blind one, or a double one in addition to the one team having to automatically perform both detour tasks.
So you're saying that you think that this "automatic U-turn" penalty is not nessecarily incured during the first leg, but where the actual first U-Turn is?
If this is the case, then it was Jamie and Cara who finished the starting line task last.
Speculating that the automatic U-Turn may be the opposite of the Express Pass.
If you get the automatic U-Turn by finishing last in the start line challenge, at some point during the race you must U-Turn yourself and complete the other side of the detour.
The strategy question for the team that is burdened with the auto U-Turn is when do you use it? Right away when you may have a slight lead or hold on to it until the last leg? :duno:

Either way guys, all of you have great speculation and ideas!
When all the episodes premier we will know!
Remember We are only a week away until the premier!
I think the Automatic U-turn is something that the team affected has to do...not a choice for them, and stands alone.
They know.
There are some good investigators on here as I have seen. I'm sure you all can find out who I have connections with. One hint: read my username :D

Thanks for all the info and welcome to RFF.
CBS plant, I hope you're not. :lol:
Well now with offical CBS confirmation of both the Express Pass and Automatic U Turn.....it probably means that both teams were on the later flight, that arrived earlier. At least the Automatic U Turn team was. If Phil does in fact hand out the Express Pass at the faux Pit Stop on the beach....bet it sure upsets the 8 teams on the first flight that had to stopover in Honolulu, that were planning on winning it.
In the premiere, Keoghan informs the players that the last team to arrive on the mat will automatically face a U-turn, forcing the duo to perform both Detour challenges, while first-place finishers will receive the Express Pass, allowing a team to skip one task during the race.That doesn't sound good; the reason the Speed Bumps were so short and easy is that any delay longer than 10-15 minutes will effectively bump a team off the race.
Hmmm...
One thing I have learned from doing the caps is that we see certain shots for a reason...clues if you like.
This season appears to be no different. ;)
I am sure teams like the cowboys and the globetrotters won't be effected as much as some teams might considering that they are athletes....
I suspect the least altitude affected racer will be Margie Adams........she lives in Denver and is a runner. I dont know where Luke lives now, but if he is back in Denver, he should adapt well. Short burst athletes dont do well with sudden change in altitude.......that means the Cowboys. Globes should be okay.......their year round basketball game will help them adapt faster. Any other runners will adapt quicker too.
Remember...Express Passes are given to the winners of a leg. :angel

That's speculation right? I mean, there has only been one other Express Pass ever given out, and there isn't any confirmed rules from TPTB regarding the conditions for awarding one (unless I'm wrong). Realistically, the producers could choose to give one out for whatever reason they deem would make for good television!
Over 2,000 people work on the amazing race, with each team of two traveling with a camera operator, sound operator and safety expertThat's a new wrinkle; I knew about the cameraman and soundman, but I didn't know each team ran with a safety person.

I thought this was new, maybe they are trying to emphasize safety now. This person may also be trained in CPR or something.

I don't know how much physical activity they will have to do, but I have been at these elevations on multiple occasions and not suffered adverse effects. While at this altitude I participated in hiking and climbing etc. without becoming any more short of breath than normal. I can only remember a handful of instances on the Race when someone had serious trouble with altitude and/or physical activity.

Season 18 has more medical treatments than Season 17, with the medical crew taking competitors to hospitals for stitches and hypothermia.
Tokyo, Japan, where they must endure the freezing waters from Mount Fuji as part of a spiritual ritual.
I dont know if this has been discussed yet, but during the intro yesterday Margie and Luke were shown doing a task which looks it was clearly in India. This suggests they survive untill one of the two India legs.(http://i56.[banned image hosting site].com/b4ymhu.jpg)

Nope, this one from the intro is in Sydney ^^

They are wearing the same thing in both pics.
PLT: I don't know. All I know is that Margie and Luke are wearing the same clothes in both pics. The first I capped out of the intro; the second one I capped out of episode one, when they were running out of the airport.
:js: That's true... Actually, don't all the intros have the racers in Sydney?

It is clearly Luke and its in India one would presume.
In my opinion I have a gut feeling that is not a racer but was part of a challenge. Looks like its in China.

If Luke is in that boat, I couldnt tell. Do you really think Luke is going to do some kind of music task? The tamborine beater looks 100% South Asian to me.

You mean the bike pics?
Yes I do, like when they show Phil saying what the tams have to do they usually have a local doing something, thats what it looks like.

we know the spiritual ritual involves freezing water.QuoteKanchu Misogi is a traditional midwinter festival of purification that is still practiced in Japan today. The event includes a ritual called mizugori, where participants are poured with ice cold water for purification and good fortune
http://www.dailyonigiri.com/category/culture-tradition/
The diversity of water rituals in Japan is phenomenal. The ways in which water is used, and the ends sought, are numerous. One can find somewhere in Japan a water ritual to provide the relief or the assurance desired for almost any event in one's life. An easy birth, a healthy baby, recovery from illness, success in an examination or in a new job, a propitious outcome to moving house, more money, good eyesight, longevity, peace, wisdom and revelation -- each can be had by the proper use of water.Perhaps they will go with the "more money" version! :funny:
"Amazing Race: Unfinished Business" will bring the racers across five continents and 23 cities, including Sydney, where they will swim with the sharks, and Tokyo, where they'll swim in freezing Mt. Fuji water."
Peach who could that be in the screen caps?
ya but one is to believe that is from India and the person is "causcasian".
I don't think that is Luke, but I do see a white cowboy hat in the background.

That looks like either its jet or cord (the cowboy hat) and that pic is for sure in India, looks to the far bottom right.

The cowboy hat looks more like a Gaucho(?) style hat to me (no upturned brims) ...and that is def ZOT Jet or Cord in that pic. :lol:
Well, there was a lot of conflict between Luke and the other girls. Margie and Luke had a bit of an issue with Kisha and Jen in China.
Phil said that Ron has changed the most.
The Globetrotters Flight Time & Big Easy are the team that I would probably say of everybody there is the most inspirational.
Kent and Vyxsin are also no pushovers. Theyre pretty sneaky!
I assure you that there is tension and a little bit of jostling for power. I think I can leave it to your judgment as to who those teams are. Theres always going to be tension, and I will leave it to you to whether to classify if the behavior is villainous. Theres certainly lots of tension.
Yes, things get very interesting between K & V and the other teams.
How about a finale task that has something to do with clue-givers? Like
Leg 1: Commodore
Leg 2: Spirit World Lady*
Leg 3: Frog of Luck Man*
Leg 4: Either one of the Zodiac Men
Leg 5: Paleontologist
*Though I think this task is not gonna be the finale task. It would be unfair for Detour choices such as these. :lol:

Mel White: Well, we both really learned to love [Ron Hsu] and Christina. They did some silly things on the Race, but they're very lovable people and amusing and fun to be with
In the previous races there were usually three NELs. If we suppose that in this race the NELs have been replaced with KRLs then we should have one more of those. So far the KRLs happened in the same country, now the only country that has two legs is India, but somehow I don't think that we are going to see a KRL in Kolkatta. I thing that both Indian legs will be normal elimination legs and that the last KRL, if it exists, will be the Vienna-Luxemburg-Zermaat combination. All three places are very close to each other and there are frequent and regular trains between them.
Another factor, so far both KRLs contained a train ride.
Of course all these are just speculation and TPTB might surprises again.
This clue is Fast-forward?The clue looks green.Sadly...no FF.
I'm not sure if this has already been posted/discussed, but I just read it and thought it could be interesting.
Interviewed here: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-mel-white-talks-the-amazing-race-unfinished-business--12053.php after his elimination, Mel said this about Ron and ChristinaQuoteMel White: Well, we both really learned to love [Ron Hsu] and Christina. They did some silly things on the Race, but they're very lovable people and amusing and fun to be with
Now, I'm just guessing (speculating ^^) but since Mel and Mike were eliminated pretty early in the race, I don't think they could have had many chances to "learn to love" R&C. But this could be the case if they spent some time together at Elimination Station. IF the assumption is correct, Ron and Chris will be eliminated fairly soon, as later teams no longer go to ES but are kept with production.
Just my two cents (well, pence :lol:) anyway.
All I Can say is dont count your chickens yet.I have some sources 50% realiable,but I don't want to be wrong.I'll wait till after next leg to post it.
We can speculate right here Lucybell! Once the episode thread is open, we try to keep everything together. So spec away!! :yess:
This is not the place for wishlists.

(If TPTB decided to make it more difficult like everything else in TAR18, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided on a multi-layered memory roadblock, where there are no notes allowed, and each racer would have to identify all the animals, all the uniforms that each greeter was wearing with only images of the uniform itself and no faces or bodies of the greeters, and an extra layer on top of those two.)
Given that the Racers have had a task already this season that expressly prohibited them from using notes, the possibility of such a requirement as part of a final task would make sense.The difference was that in the task on Leg 5 they were not allowed to take notes. If they wanted to forbid the teams from using their own notes at the final memory challenge they could always confiscate them.
Or then again, they could choose not to even have a final memory challenge.... :res:
TAR 12 and the flag one still live on as the best and most challenging ones ever...for me.
I always like making my final prediction way in advance, and it helps that I have no particular rooting interest this season clouding my judgment.
Unless the editing was completely revamped, I expect to see Zev & Justin win. I expect Kent & Vyxsin and Ronald & Christina to make the final 4 and likely the final 3, and even though I wouldn't be surprised by either of these two teams winning, I still see them as long shots.
Based on the editing, I didn't expect Margie & Luke to get far.
My reading of the tea leaves has Gary & Mallory, Herbert & Nathaniel, Kisha & Jen, and Jet & Cord exiting in episodes 7 to 11.
I don't mind being wrong because it would mean that they revamped the way they cut the show, but if I'm on target, then TPTB should really change the way they cut the show starting with TAR19.
I don't want to start a who will win argument
Did anyone else notice the order that the teams were placed in for the monologue "8 teams remain, who will be eliminated next"
1. Zev and Justin (one to watch, a blogger said)
2. Gary and Mallory (one to watch, a blogger said)
3. Ron and Christina (under the radar)
4. FT and BE (spotted in Rio De Janiero F4?)
5. Kisha and Jen (one to watch, a blogger said)
6. Jet and Cord (spotted in Madrid, en route to Austria F6?)
7. Kent and Vyxsin (last to Elim. Station? Friends with Luke, Amanda etc)
8. Margie and Luke
9. Jamie and Cara
10. Mel and Mike
11. Amanda and Kris

I believe that if the cowboys were truly spotted in the Madrid airport, they must have been en route to the elimination station (in southeast asia).
And I wouldn't place any bets on any team from S14 making it to the F3.

Well why is so much attention being given to what the cowboy said ("TK is right behind us")...depending on the context, how do we know why it was said or if it has any meaning? I'm sure there were times I've been at the airport when the mcdonalds is about to close, and I probably shouted to whoever I was with "hurry, we have to order NOW or we won't make it!" Or my mom is looking for my dad, who's with me, and yells for him, so I yell back to her "he's right behind me!" Depending on the situation, these quotes are completely meaningless.
What would be weird though is to have someone randomly twitter about seeing cowboys and 7 ft tall basketball players and "hippy" looking people all together while they just so happen to be filming TAR. That seems less of a coincidence to me. That they don't have any alibis around this time or confirmed sightings just further arouses my suspicion.
I just hope that if they were going somewhere together, it's elimination station.
Still bitter about this week's show. I wish the challenge was sponsored by red bull. That way they would have all looked like a bunch of strung out meth addicts after 20 minutes of drinking that stuff. That would have been like amazing race meets requiem for a dream...both with a sad ending. :(
Some of us sent tweets to that guy for clairification, but he never answered any of us. That is a big red flag for a fake tweeter right there.
I think you knew where the sign up sheet at the end of the first leg was before the cowboys ever did!
Woweee, you guys are no joke!
Can't you guys maybe set aside your work on TAR for one season and go find Osama bin Laden instead? Somehow I have a feeling that if anyone could pull it off it would be you guys!
If I were one of the racers and I couldn't figure out where the clue is telling me to go, I think the first place I'd go to in search of the answer is an internet cafe so I could look up the timeline thread. I think you knew where the sign up sheet at the end of the first leg was before the cowboys ever did!
Hi all,
Long time reader from Madrid...
Just wanted to give my 2 cents regarding the Cowboy sighting in Madrid airport - The 6th of December is a big bank holiday here of us (mainly because we also have the 8th and we turn it in to a very long weekend).
Last December the 3rd there was chaos at all Spanish airports because all air controlers when on strike!! Airports were closed form the evening of the 3rd until well into the night of the 4th... chaos contiuned until at least the 7th of December with the military having to take control of the situation!!! It was a crazy time with hundreds of cancellations everyday and no normality until at least the following week.
I just wanted to add this as another reason why the Cowboy sighting seems strange to me... with air control chaos at that level I very much doubt they would have choose to fly through Madrid around those dates!!
Here's hoping for a really spotting in Madrid soon :)
what happened to the fast forward? only at leg 11? :ascared
