We have arrived in Taiwan and everything is going well. It was a heck of a long trip to get here but if the first few hours are an indication of our time here it will be incredible. The people are friendly and the food is awesome. Gwynivere did very well, almost puked at LAX and had a couple of small meltdowns but also got compliments from other passengers for behaving so well on the plane. Melody hates landing

Doubt this guy is on the race, but he may have seen teams? I dunno, just guessing here, lol.
post from facebook
Teams are on flight to Taipei,Taiwan
also got an earlier one but im sure peach know that 1
the amazing race 19 start yesterday,teams are ahead to taiwan
American Airlines Flight 80 from DFW is departing to London's Heathrow at 21:30 CDT.Could it be a connecter flight to someplace else? :duno: :duno: :duno:
And the Dallas sighting, like the JFK sighting is believed to be bogus. :tup:
Other tweets by Twitter poster:
Some of the teams I see got the earlier flight to frankfurt, the others are on my flight this evening!! They won't show me the clue :-(
Teams are really nice (and hot!) but say they'll get in trouble if they pose in a picture with me :( amazing race gonna be awesome
They won't tell me where they're going once we get to Frankfurt but I see some of them have boarding passes for connecting flights.
Funny to see how teams are already forming cliques and some won't even go near the other. Two of these girls must be pageant queens

This last one doesn't make sense however...why would they START in Argentina, I think he means first leg in Argentina, but due to volcanic ash had to change race course...?
Crew guy told me they were supposed to start the race in argentina but had to change last minute cause the flights got messed up!
...Because they can, and have before?...TAR14 - LAX-Switzerland on Lufhtansa (cannot spell)
New post from this poster on Twitter
posted a few seconds ago -
One team is a married couple...both are "little" people. I think they might be the same ones that had a reality show, but not sure
So sounds like Germany then :yess:
Frankfurt is more than likely a connecting point IMHO. But I guess there is no reason not to expect a Germany leg.

My guesses for within Germany: Dusseldorf, Dresden, Stuttgart, Berlin, Hanover, Cologne, Bremen. Outside Germany: Billund, Copenhagen, Brussels, Luxembourg, Helsinki, Riga, and Belgrade.
Is it official that the race has started?
:)
Oh yeah, we have teams now in Niagra Falls, DC and on the way to Frankfurt! :lol:

Could be. But we still had plenty of sightings that day at LAX. I'm also bothered by the time of day though. It seems a little late to be starting. I thought most of the time they began in the morning or early afternoon.

Its almost 4:00pm here on the west coast. The race could have started in the late morning around 11am-noon. Remember they have to travel to the airport, get to the terminal, go through check-in and security.

I'll speculate. :lol: NOTE: THIS IS JUST AN EDUCATED HUNCH BASED ON SPOILERS NOW GIVEN, :angel: DO NOT CONSIDER THIS AS A REAL SPOILER.
FIRST TASK: Drive to Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple (of course, teams will be shocked that they thought the race is in US)
- It will be much more fun if they are only given a picture for reference. :lol: But that would be too sadistic. :lol:
SECOND TASK: The Hsi Lai Temple is affiliated with one of _______ (country) largest religious orgs. That country will be your first destination.
- I wish there is a get a departure time task in the Hsi Lai Temple. :lol:
THIRD TASK: Drive yourselves to LAX and fly to Taiwan!

Your list looks right from the information we have. One thing that bothers me is why they had a big flashy attention attracting bus that says
AMAZING RACE
in front of the Hsi Lai Temple when the teams drove themselves from the starting location to the temple. They apparently didn't use the bus to move the teams except maybe to the start location. So why attract attention by having it at the site of the first task? It doesn't make sense to me.

Easy way to move a lot of production people? :duno:
Correct me if i am wrong, but this is the first time in a long time that we start in Asia first. i am so accustomed to asia being near the end of the race! this is awesome.

So, let's see - Phil, his camera man, and Barry the sound guy are presumably on one of the flights with the teams, correct? When they land, I presume that Phil will shoot the explanations at the locations in a different order than how the clues are written? (I remember reading somewhere in the past that the logistics of these locations are chosen such that Phil and his crew get a time advantage.)

Could be, but would they take the chance of having a couple of teams arrive ahead of the production people? I'd think they would have one crew at Pt. Mugu while another crew would be at the Temple getting ready. Perhaps keeping costs down made one crew necessary.
Regarding that person whose tweet stated that the tweeter was headed to Vietnam- Do we know if all of the flights are non-stop to Teipei? It could be that if there's a stop along the way, that tweeter changes flights at the connection hub, and our teams continue on their own flights. That would eliminate any confusion. Also IIRC, the last time teams were in Taiwan, the teams then went on to Vietnam as the next country after finishing in Taiwan.
I believe teams went actually to Japan.
I really want to know who this 11th team to arrive was...

I believe Phil and Barry did get an advantage and were not on any of the 3 flights. To do that Barry and Phil had to get:
BR11 LAX TPE 1715 2200+1
or
UA697 LAX SFO 2200 2359 connecting with CI003 0105+1 0530+1
I ain't too happy with this Jared kid right now.
Could it be possibly after Taiwan, the race would visit Palau on Leg 2. I really like to see a new Pacific Island nation visited. China Airlines flies there and looking online at their site, There is one flight leaving Taipei for Palau at 1:00pm (Taiwan Time) and arrives in Palau at 6:00pm (Palau Time) on the 21st which is Tuesday (Monday 20th here in the US) China Airlines Flight#0028. But this is my own speculation and theory due to Palau being in that certain area, especially almost being near the Philippines and Taiwan after all. :carryon:
Assuming teams are headed of the country next leg that means they would likely leave around the morning of June 21. By doing a quick search a majority of flights will head to either Hong kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines or Singapore. There are a couple of flights to Rome but I doubt they would do a huge jump.
@RyanStorms had these two tweetsI don't know where to bring this up, but does this possible sighting still hold water given the timeline to LAX now? Anyone able trying to confirm any more information?
So ask me why I was at the gas station & I was filmed for the #AmazingRace they asked me how to get to LAX #LookForMeOnTV haha
58 minutes ago
So #TheLife gets crazier so after being randomly filmed for the amazing race I see that one of them dropped there passport!!
13 minutes ago
We believe Chateau missed a team at the airport, all 11 were there...
As I recall, that tipped off the Penang and Singapore legs during filming
If believe the next leg will start around 9:49 pm then? (June 20) SO lets search flights between 9:30 - until airport stops until the sunrise. (Of course they could do a second leg in Taiwan).
So by doing a quick search there are only three destinations that make could be visited next that makes sense: Kaohsiung (in the south of Taiwan), Hong Kong and Manila. Others make no sense at all such as SF and Amsterdam. The limited destinations makes me think a second leg in Taiwan.

I think this reasoning is a bit limited. Those may be the only places where one can fly to nonstop starting in that time frame, but connecting in Hong Kong opens a huge number of possibilities and connecting in Manila opens several too.
From FB:Wait. What? Really? When? I will check it out soon! I'm living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam! :hearts:
Looks like I'm flying to Vietnam with the new season of Amazing race!
8 minutes ago via iPhone · ·
The VietNam spoiler is an error I believe by the poster... one of the flights is a codeshare VietNam airlines flight, I think that is all. They were not flying to VietNam at all, they were going to Taipei.
Please reread the comment...there is NO evidence for VIETNAM AT ALL!!!
I ain't too happy with this Jared kid right now.
He had me fooled too. But he was very good, maybe production hired him to keep us off the trail. :duno: :lol3:
I went back and checked, and I was thinking of TAR 15. When the teams went to Japan, there was speculation that they would then go to Taiwan, and then Vietnam, and there was some research that showed that there were flights from Taiwan to Vietnam. It didn't materialize, but my point today was that the one tweeter could legitimately be headed to Vietnam, and be on a flight with this season's new Racers.
That said, Phil has been spotted during the Race a few times, including at pitstops, during these last couple of seasons (Sydney, for one), but one spotting of Phil outside a pit stop that I can think of offhand was in the Penang airport in TAR 16. As I recall, that tipped off the Penang and Singapore legs during filming, as the Race had dropped out of sight. (Seychelles, anyone?)
Back in TAR 15, we had a vacationing woman from Australia that spotted the teams in Vietnam and then a day or two later ran across Phil in a restaurant/bar in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I believe that tipped off both legs for us. Quite a coincidence, but it happened.
PTT info:
old couple last arrive!
NEL!
Speedbump next leg!
And...
Next leg!
the first time in the history of the Amazing Race,
there will be a DOUBLE ELIMINATION!!!!
What's the clue for Port Moresby?
And what's the rundown, do the production people have it written down somewhere then?

I really hope they will go to PRJ (Jakarta Fair).. and maybe they have to do some tasks there, like making a "kerak telor" or dress up like an "ondel-ondel" ... It would be really fun to watch!! :lol3:
Don't forget there are many destinations other than Jakarta, Bali, and Lombok..
Like Bandung, Yogyakarta, Manado (Bunaken), etc.
Oh my God... If TAR is actually coming to Jakarta, I will really try to follow them! :lol:
It's still my holiday and I got nothing to do now. :snicker:
For the tasks, I doubt they're going to copy the same tasks, AGAIN.
I was really shocked when TAR-Aus kinda have the same tasks of TARA.
TAR won't do the same!
Oh yeah, nowadays is a "PRJ" period Prama! That would be a perfect place for tasks representing Indonesia!
Here's REALLY hoping for TAR-US finally come to Indonesia...
*cross my fingers in excitement*

There are 3 direct flights to Jakarta in the AM although also possible via HK and Singapore for example
CGK Jakarta CI 5855 China Airlines 8:05 AM
CGK Jakarta CI 761 China Airlines 8:45 AM
CGK Jakarta BR 237 EVA Air 9:00 AM
or set a TBC leg...Pure speculation at this pointDouble Emilination may imply only 11 legs this season? :'(
They can always add an extra non-elimination point. I am thinking they are eliminating two teams, to save costs (so teams might be headed far from Indonesia next **Pure speculation at this point
More speculation: I believe there will be a second leg in Indonesia or of there isn't teams are likely headed to Kuala Lumpur/Singapore (because the airport in Yogyakarta has international flights to that destination).
However, W/P has some evidence to suggest another destination besides K/L or Singapore so most likely the third leg will be in a large urban center with flights to that destination (which will remain hidden).

Maybe they're going back to Jakarta? Or maybe they'll head to Bali???
I predict a double Indonesian leg, where from Yogya they take a very short plane ride to Denpasar. Pure speculation, of course :)
@Obby I doubt they would fly, because they are using train there. If they were doing the same route back why would they use a plane to get there?
@Obby I doubt they would fly, because they are using train there. If they were doing the same route back why would they use a plane to get there?
But it is possible that they take a flight to Jakarta or Denpasar or maybe international flight to Singapore / KL and they can't go to Denpasar with train.
and I'm just sharing my experience , taking a train to Yogyakarta is costing so much time + the train isn't very comfortable, sometime they can have a train without A/C and also full of people can you imagine how hot it will be ? :lol:
It's just my speculation...
Judging from the train schedule, they are maybe taking Bima Train from Gambir because it departs at 05.00 PM, where teams are arriving at 01.00 PM...
And in Yogyakarta, because they're arriving in the midnight, they'll encounter an Hour of Operation there...

maybe they will compare it to india... hahaha.. anyway, any specs as for the pit stop in jogjakarta? Malioboro is overcrowded I think.. Maybe they'll go up to Kaliurang, or just stay within the city. The Keraton Yogyakarta is good.

Jakartans, how many of you are going to follow the racers from SoeTa to Gambir? I'm afraid I have work tomorrow :'( The first time they come to my hometown & I can't stalk them. :groan:For me, perhaps I'll go to Gambir. The airport's too far from me. :groan:
Do we have field detectives in Indonesia?I believe we have a lot of Indonesians here, but I dunno about the detective. For me, I think I'm not be going to stalk them. But one thing, twitter is actually would be very reliable here. We have a lot of Indonesians tweeting, and possibly sightings will make The Amazing Race is trending in twitter (words spread out really fast).
Do we have field detectives in Indonesia?
Is the Pit Start over yet? Cause if the older couple was not there, they were probably eliminated and there *MIGHT* be a Double U-Turn on this leg, rather than a Double Elimination.
If it is actually "Bukit Indah", the only thing I can find is : "Bukit Indah Restaurant & Hotel". It's in Wonosari, Yogyakarta.
But why should they go to hotel if it's not a PitStop?
Other possibility is "Bukit Bintang". It's kind of place that has quite a beautiful view.
I'm not going to comment on where in Indonesia they may be headed to, simply because I'm shocked that it has taken 19 seasons to get a leg in Indonesia at all. (Now I know TPTB wanted to avoid the country in the early seasons because of the possibility of terrorist attacks on westerners (such as in Bali a few years ago), but the same threat existed in the Phippines, and TAR has been there more than once.
As to why teams would take a hours-long train ride, that says to me that if nothing else production is using that time to get Phil, his crew and any other production executives traveling with the show this time ahead of the teams to film stand-ups and make sure everything is ready before the teams arrive. Production probably flew in from Jakarta, as well.
I'm just glad to see Indonesia finally get visited. Now if we could get Denmark (another country the show hasn't been to for no apparent reason) or Israel (which has been rumored more than once in the past). In one sentence, I am liking the way this season seems to be shaping up.
I'm happy the race will visit Indonesia at last, Asia and Australia versions did and there were no problems when they were filming there. I think the next leg will possibly be in Bali, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur or Kuching) or Brunei. :yess:
The tricky part would be going to the right station so they can catch the 5 pm departure. I doubt many Indonesians they encounter at the plane or airport can tell them which station has the best departures to Yogya. Although luckily for them, Gambir is the most prominent station out of the two, so it's likely they're pointed into that direction.
Double Emilination may imply only 11 legs this season? :'(
That could also mean one more NEL

Yes. Bandara means airport. I think he/she is one of TAR production teams from Indonesia :tup:
This is just a pure speculation, but I think we may see the teams in Jakarta for leg 3, based on a following pattern:
In season 15, teams flew to HCMC, and then take a bus to Cai Be. The next leg, they are back in HCMC.
In season 18, teams flew to Kunming and then take a train/flight to Lijiang. The next leg, they are back in Kunming.
Maybe this pattern will goes on in this season. Just a pure speculation.

I've been doging severe thunderstorms....and one of them spawned a tornado as it raced away from downtown at 50 mph.....so it has been an interesting evening.
Hence, one question if our friends in Taiwan know. Who was the greeter? Obviously military or retired military, but that's unusual for the show. And, it's potentially sensitive with the mainland.
Oh no!! Sunderland's delayed??
Great work! Hopefully kaskus can spot them too.
Did you mean 1.30 in the morning or like 13.30? If the latter then it may be the pitstop
I think TAR will probably start off from Asia in future very often. The Asian legs are often the most spoiled legs ever with all the AWESOME fans. :lol:
And they will probably not visit Indonesia in a LONG LONG WHILE. :lol: With the most twitter users in the world, I think they would love to stay undercover long enough.

I think it makes a lot of sense to start in Asia/ MELBOURNE! (hint hint- Oh, who am I kidding, I royally screwed that when I flew to Sydney that time.) because having the final 10 or 9 spoiled is obviously preferable to having the final 4 or 5 spoiled.
From that last message board posting it sounds like the teams might have been taken somewhere to await an HOO. It's now about 0500 there (I think) so it may be a couple hours before they are seen again?? (Speculating.)
depend on the next marker. most of the popular destination in yogyakarta open at 8.00 or early, so does the shop, market,etc. probably before 8.00 they will leave the hotel or they'll be very late :lol:From that last message board posting it sounds like the teams might have been taken somewhere to await an HOO. It's now about 0500 there (I think) so it may be a couple hours before they are seen again?? (Speculating.)
It is 4.30 in the morning in Jogja and the hotel doesn't open until 8.00. By then I'm sure the racers will have many Indonesian friends also waiting to get in and "help" :lol3:
Funny to do a U Turn so soon though. At this point many racers may not even have met each other really... makes the UTurn a difficult choice.
Based on the posted information that the Taiwan leg was an NEL, it appears TPTB have finally taken to heart a suggestion many of us long-timers have long felt, namely, to give us more time with all 11 teams before an elimination. With TAR 18 and now 19 having a first leg NEL, I hope the editors give us a reasonable amount of time with all 11 teams during the first two legs.
I also get the feeling TPTB may also be getting away from the casting of confrontation teams and giving us what we've had in some of the better seasons, a genuinely likeable cast of teams and letting the drama come from the competition and not from manufactured drama.
I'm not too surprised of a double elimination, in fact I was expecting one like this sooner. I don't understand why anyone would be upset by a non-elimination followed by a double elimination. Wouldn't it pretty much be the same thing as an elimination on the first and second leg?
There was one on season 10.
It is beginning to look as though a second leg outside of Yogyakarta MIGHT be possible...which would mean a chance for Borobudur!!! :hearts:
Funny to do a U Turn so soon though. At this point many racers may not even have met each other really... makes the UTurn a difficult choice.
Nothing to prevent a beach leg after...
Just speculating!
Since it's all safe, can the mods release and unlock the Taiwan spoilers thread that was made up before? :hearts:
Strange how we've heard virtually nothing between the hours of operation holdup and only the last few minutes (midday their time).. Is it a long distance to travel between the hotel and Malioboro?nope. probably only 20 minutes. maybe 40 with traffic jam
12 HOURS EXACTLY.
I went and took a look at Wiki's article on Malioboro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalan_Malioboro), and I have a feeling this would be a great place for some sort of task involving businesses or products along the street. This is total speculation on my part, but being a major commercial thoroughfare it would be reasonable. I'm also intrigued by the reference to the street being the dividing line between the train station and the volcano....
12 HOURS EXACTLY.
So if the race began on Saturday the 18th and they left Taiwan on the 21st, was there an overnight stay somewhere in Taiwan on the 19th?
Leg 1 - California -> Taiwan
Leg 2 - Taiwan -> Jakarta
Leg 3 - Jakarta -> Makioboro
my guess is maybe 5 or 6 new countries? maybe? right?

I think he's not sure himself. Probably got the tip from here :)
It is beginning to look as though a second leg outside of Yogyakarta MIGHT be possible...which would mean a chance for Borobudur!!! :hearts:
Let's start looking ahaead a little...
Assuming teams checked in about 12 hours ago...it is possible that the PitStart could take place from anytime now onwards...as we know, PitStops are no longer a standard time though, so that could be almost anytime!! Current time in Yog is 219 AM Thurs 6/23.
IF the rumored overheard go to Borobudur is correct...let's start thinking how long it takes to get there... and then IF-- BIG IF---They do go to "beautiful beaches" Bali then here are the flights available: Two 8PM ones seem possible??
DPS Denpasar Bali GA 250 Garuda Indonesia 8:00 AM
DPS Denpasar Bali RI 579 Mandala Airlines 11:40 AM
DPS Denpasar Bali GA 252 Garuda Indonesia 4:15 PM
DPS Denpasar Bali GA 254 Garuda Indonesia 8:00 PM
DPS Denpasar Bali JT* 568 Lion Airlines 8:40 PM
Well both......a market 400 m away makes good sense though.
So they finished Leg 2? :O
More Speculation:
Next Stop: Jo-Burg :hides
I have my reasons!! :lol:
Cool! Jo-burg! South Africa was top of my wishlist, so I will be very pleased if this is the case!If so,I guess Zambia may be 5th leg for 10th year anniversary,like"make your way to the 1st pitstop of amazing race history..." :lol:

The boiling pot!
I would be happy with however the season panned out if they opened a clue directing them to "The smoke that thunders"
And having the original greeter/Mat and Anna on hand to greet teams.
The ES also depends on where the finish line will be. I suspect a closer-to-east coast finish, and an European ES might be more direct for production to the final city than Thailand. And if teams do head to Africa (or Europe or South America or the middle east) after leg 3, then that would also make a European ES more sensible. (I think this is what Peach is suggesting with her suggestion.)Yep, exactly. My vote is Portugal again.
Anyways, Chateau care to explain the picture :lol:
Not clear yet who all had to go back...

Songwe Village would be awesome, and the giant swing that teams had to ride in one of the Detours.
Even better would be a Switchback of the first Roadblock in TAR history.
This is all speculation, of course

I think thats why weihen said "pure spec" since its a speculation thread.
But I agree with weihen, signs are pointing towards the brunette girls and the older couple being eliminiated already.

Did I read somewhere that all 11 teams were on the same flight that arrives to Bangkok at 8pm? Or did that post get amended?5 teams on flight refer to the flight jogia to jakarta,then we still don't know if all 8/9 remaining teams on same flight to Bangkok.
:welcome: to RFF supra3ro!!
I'm a little confused by that sighting because FD3031 departed BKK at 19.00 and teams could not arrive until 20.00
Did I miss something? Hopefully he can ID the team he saw.
Notes:
Apparently there was a lot of team confusion, almost all but maybe 2 or 3 of the teams had to leave the Pitstop to go back and do something. Although they don't look in a huge rush? :duno:

IMHO Turkey is unlikely. There's a direct flight from Jakarta to Istanbul at 6 pm every day, so I doubt they have to go through Thailand.
On Leg 2, they had to go to the pitstop on foot if I'm not mistaken.
Just got off a flight from Bangkok to Phuket. The guy next to my girfriend Kaisri had some kickin BO. After we landed I realized why he choose not to shower. He was part of the filming Crew for the amazing race. One of the teams were two seats in front of us. I dont watch the show but I will to see which team it was.
Back so soon to Phuket? I would think elimination station also.
Nothing is confirmed so far. I believe that teams have connected to another city through Bangkok. We shall see.
Do we know if eliminated teams usually travel to ES with a camera crew in tow as described by that traveler on FB? That's the part that makes me wonder if this is a team that has managed to pull ahead by making some very close connections.
Options that I see are: Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul, Frankfurt and Vienna.
I think the last time they visted Phuket was in season 14, not sure though.
@Prophet, anything is possible. :lol:

Photoshop?
What makes you rule out Sri Lanka, I can't see Timor because of safety, but sticking to the beach theme Sri Lanka would be a definite possibility, which I believe has the most international flights arriving from Thailand (besides India) a week.
Ps. We finally got our icon for our webpages!!! :yess:
Here's my stab at what is happening (or has happened!)
My guess is that the two (or three) leading teams have hit an Hours of Operation stop at Phuket while the other 5 teams catch up. Those teams should have arrived 3 or 4 hours later on TG 485 or TG 225. Further supposing the HoOp opens up in the morning at 7 am then we can expect racing tweets to begin thereafter
I agree with this, I think its much more likely that this is what the sightings were. Is it possible then that the remaining racers are still at the pit stop? Or will they have begun leg 4 by now?

At Borobudur? We have sightings of teams leaving JOG 6/25 Indonesian time using Indonesian Air asia JOG>>Jakarta arr 145 PM. We have airport sightings in Jakarta, with "overheard" asking for Bangkok.
All the Jo-burg spec is based totally on nothing more than some of us wanting to see a TAR 1 LEG 1 redo to celebrate the 10 year TAR anniversary.
There is NO evidence for Jo-burg beyond that that I am aware of.
Africa is nearly a certainty, but Jo-burg was just a dream.
Now is the time for everyone to look hard. Twitter and FB can help, but so can searching blogs, and all the major photo sites. With all of us looking, they will reappear!!
We don't know what time teams finished the Borobudur leg, yet we do know that 5 teams (possibly a second group??) were on the flight that arr Jakarta 145PM.
So yes, up to an 18 hour Pitstop is possible...a 24-36 hour one is not.
I have a gut feeling Thailand was a cover up by producers and teams went somewhere sightings would be unlikely.

She said she was on the same flight to PHUKET, with blondes, grandmother grandfather, a couple with asian, and THE OTHER TEAMS.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but we can conclude that we just got our first three eliminated teams, right?
Blue M/M, Ethan & Jenna, and Hawaiian girls.
Only time will tell :waves:

Now...in TAR 14 I think we didn't see them in Phuket either...but could they have gone somewhere else nearby? Odd to re-use Phuket so soon, so where could they have been that was close but "different"??
And transportation options OUT of there are now of interest...
:lol: I think that was spec.Reality TV Tavern say the fourth leg is in Johannesburg, South Africa.
:lol:
:snicker::lol: I think that was spec.Reality TV Tavern say the fourth leg is in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Krabi, where season one went, is 25-30 miles from Phukit. As I recall, TAR 14 stayed much closer than that to Phukit proper. So it's also possible that flights to Phukit were the closest flights in to whereever they might have gone in the region.
I originally suggested the possibility of Krabi because of leg 10, and the show has never said there wouldn't ever be another Switchback, and, as I posted before, I think leg 10 of season 1 was one of the most challenging legs the show has ever done. But as I recall, there are a lot of offshore islands in that area (wasn't Survivor Thailand just offshore from Phukit?) so I think there are all sorts of possibilities.
I can't imagine they would do five straight Asia legs...
Why even fly from BKK to Phuket when BKK is a better airport.
Why even fly from BKK to Phuket when BKK is a better airport.

One island chain the Race hasn't been to yet is the Maldives, an independent chain of islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean that may be completely submerged in about 40-50 years due to the rising of ocean water levels with the melting of polar ice caps in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
I've thought of that one in the past, and with the Seychelles already visited, it's still a place the Race hasn't been to.
The thing with the Maldives is, they have plenty of tourists so at least a sighting should have occurred. Someone check travel blogs etc..
Sounds reasonable to me!
....needs to rewatch that episode...Team! Phil just tweeted, isn't there a option of checking where the tweet came from? I have no clue how to do that though :groan:
Scratch that I learned how to do that, and if it was in fact Phil tweeting he was not in a 100 mile radius of Phuket. :lol: :snicker:

Leafsfan has given me an idea.. Does anyone know if you search for tweets by location, does it base the location on the actual GPS coordinates of the device or just the registered location/home of the user?
The widest radius you can have is 2500 kilometers, so if its by GPS location, we should be able to narrow down where Phil tweeted from through trial and error. If its by his registered location, we're out of luck again!
I don't think Soekarno-Hatta flies to Phuket. At least not very often.
However if they were connecting somewhere else they would have done so from BKK. It is the third busiest airport in all Asia. Like TS was saying they probably accessed some islands or other remote areas from Phuket.
UPDATE: It appears that HKT in Phuket mainly flies to Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur. All locations that could be reached from Jakarta and certainly Bangkok as well.
There have been several good posts that explain why this is likely. My argument is this::groan:
1. We know all teams were on a flight from Bangkok to Phuket.
2. There is no good reason for them to fly from Jakarta to Bangkok to Phuket except that they were doing a leg in the area.
Was any team spotted leaving the airport in Phuket? Is there any indication whatsoever that at least one team, at the very least, was headed toward the exit of the airport?
Having been there myself, I know that there's only one terminal area and one place to catch a taxi. Because it's a popular tourist spot, there are tons of Western travelers at the airport. They would have been spotted, even if leaving Phuket proper...they would have been noticed leaving the airport.
_________
ETA: The bigger point I'm trying to make here is not whether leg #4 is Phuket or not, but rather to find out what criteria, if any, is being used to determine what is speculation and what is confirmed. Usually it's the latter only after there's photo evidence to back it up, and/or more than one person tweets about it/posts a facebook update. Otherwise you're relying on one person's tweet with no evidence, like that jared kid at the start of this race....and we all know how that turned out.
Is there not some sort of standard used for making such distinctions? If not, shouldn't there be?

Read my previous posts about this. Specifically, about the perfectly good reasons that a few teams would be spotted in Phuket (and it was a few, not all teams, that were spotted in Phuket) if they were on their way to Elimination Station, which is probably the same one used last season in Ko Samui. I showed how flights through Phuket were over $300 cheaper than the ones that went through Bangkok only.
Am I missing the tweet that reported that all of the teams and crew were spotted in Phuket? And not just in the airport...speaking of which, if Phuket was the destination point, wouldn't the sighting(s) have been of the teams rushing to leave the airport? And isn't that the type of stuff they usually like to film?
I would have to look back to be sure...but seems to me that the TAR 14 teams may not have been spotted there either...
I remember the photo of Margie/Luke with the rickshaw, and the whole Luke's ankle being a man or a woman's debate, and I think I remember Tammy/Victor being spotted too

I could see them doing a leg in southern Africa. Maybe not South Africa specifically, but since it's only the northern countries that are affected at the moment it's very plausible South Africa or Namibia or Malawi or something could turn up.
If they do go to South America, I'd hope for Paraguay (the only non-Caribbean-bordering country still yet to appear), but with Brazil in TAR18 I think Argentina's most likely.
Europe? Hmmm. PIIGS are out since the governments won't spend money bringing the show to them, and we've seen most of the remaining western Europe countries in the past four seasons (by my count only Belgium, Denmark, and the micronations are left), so I'd expect an eastern European country, if any. Probably a new one, since no eastern European countries have been repeated yet (assuming you count Austria as "western"), and hopefully a Balkan state. Serbia's plausible, as is Albania, or maybe even Bulgaria.
Asia's harder. Since Family Edition, either China or Japan has been done in every race except 13, but 18 was the first to have them both, so maybe we might skip them this time? But it's hard to find any regions they haven't hit recently. Kazakhstan was apparently a real pain the first time, so I don't think we're going back or to any other country nearby (all with even worse infrastructure, and some not safe for women in particular). The Middle East is especially Not Safe Right Now, and we've done India and the neighbouring countries twice in the past two seasons, so they're most likely out. South-East Asia's a mainstay, but aside from three new countries (Indonesia, Laos, and Brunei), they've all been done in the past 5 seasons.
In summary, I suspect we'll get about 8 or 9 countries, probably containing at least one Central/South American country (probably Argentina and one other); South Africa (and possibly a country nearby); at least one country that was part of Yugoslavia; at least one of Thailand/Indonesia/Laos/Philippines, probably two; and a North American country.

Go, me!
It's interesting because LLW has extremely limited arrivals. The only way he would have seen them is if they were on Air France 8056 from Lusaka. There is really no way they would have been on a flight from Jburg.
Lusaka is of course in Zambia which seems like a more likely place for them to be flying in from. It makes it seem like they may have not been in Nairobi because the flight from Lusaka to LLW leaves before the only flight from NBO to Lusaka arrives.
Perhaps Malawi is the third Africa leg after Kenya and Zambia? That may account for the missing days.
OKAY!! So based on teams arriving today into Malawi....is this possible??I doubt next leg will be Kenya...if 3 legs already in Africa,then next leg probably be in Europe
Phuket>> via Bangkok>> to So Africa (Joburg? and/ or Cape Town?) for 2 legs (please WRP go do Victoria Falls again, it is the 10 year anniversary you know :lol: ) >>then to Malawi (hmmm, a day late? Was arrival rescheduled or was that FB post in error?), and then possibly to KENYA next??
Flight info please!! :hearts:
Its possible for that picture with the camera, as it looks like they are do the preview filming for the tasks. It looks very similar to the task in Burkina Faso.

I took a look at that picture and a couple of others on the Land & Safari Facebook page. The exif data appears to have been stripped off, so I can't tell when it was taken.

Please check your facts. As already posted by WP, there most certainly IS a flight in from Jo-burg.

My husband was picking someone up at the airport in Lilongwe, Malawi today at 12:30 pm local time (flight from Joburg) and spotted Amazing Race production crew in the airport and teams coming off the plane, trying to get taxis.
I think we need to reassess what order legs could have been in. :tup:
Wait, what is with Chateau's post that includes currency and an airport? Is that one of the insider infos that you guys post as a clue/hint/teaser (like the Mary Poppins in S18, recently) that you know and we don't? ??? :lol:
Yay at Malawi! Yay at myself not knowing/reading any updates about teams! :hearts:
I think we need to reassess what order legs could have been in. :tup:
Well you mentioned a blackout in Malawi yesterday, correct? It's possible production decided to wait a day before heading out or had a backup country to visit beforehand if anything were to happen.
Have they been to Cyprus? That would seem to be one of the more stable countries in that area outside of Turkey.
Israel is still in the US travel warning. But then again so is Kenya. :duno:
Israel is still in the US travel warning. But then again so is Kenya. :duno:
Israel is safe, its only the disputed West Bank and Gaza areas are dangerous. Tel Aviv and Haifa, two of Israel's coastal cities are safe.
I can't imagine a compelling reason to go to a place like Cyprus other than for the novelty of visiting a new country. I've been to Cyprus and it's a pretty beach destination but that's about it. There are still plenty of great destinations that have yet to be visited by the race. Copenhagen anyone? :) Have they ever been to the Greek Isles? Or Palma de Mallorca off the coast of Spain? Ireland? These places would be so amazing to see in HD.
That's true, but you can still fly from Istanbul to Yerevan (I did a quick Google search). I'll remain hopeful, but I agree it is doubtful...My fingers are still crossed for Armenia to be visited, and I think teams could easily connect there through the Istanbul flight that Chateau posted earlier. I was there last year, and I could think of a few beautiful Pit Stop locations. :colors
Turkey and Armenia are virtual enemies. Also with the current Azerbaijan and Armenia conflict I doubt they visit there.
Found this on flickr, the pic has nothing to do with the race, but the name of the photo is: The amazing race to Malawi? Maybe some one can contact the person for more info?

That pic was from the blog posting I quoted in the live sightings thread last night. It was related to the rest of the stuff that was written about in that blog.
Was there a tweet from Kenya to Amsterdam today? I had just texted my husband to keep his eyes open at the amsterdam airport for TAR, he lands there in 7 hours. He has seen the pics of the teams, and is camera ready if he sees any of them. Here's hoping! ( but I know it's longshot)
Okay I am thinking Amsterdam might be a connection point to another European country, because Amsterdam has had so many visits I kind of find it hard to believe they would go back soon. :duno:
Lulu has a few new tweets detailing what he/she "saw", none of which jives with what we know. Let's drop this and move on then? My blood boils every time I go to the Twitter page.We should move on...just don't understand why he/she be so rude(never happened when I ask for help to locals last season Yunan legs) :groan:

If the tweet about Teams spotted on a flight where Milan may be the destination is valid then I would quickly jump to the conclusion that the racers were headed to Siena where the Palio had just been run the night before (July 2nd, every year). The Piazza would still be covered with dirt and would make a great place to do a Detour or Roadblock task :jam:

Maybe this is why they never went to PNG.

If they're already in Italy then they should go to the small enclave of San Marino and do a roadblock task there on measuring the area using mopeds just like what TAR: Unfinished Business on the previous season did and if so, this could be a Switchback roadblock task but in a different country. Cross our fingers, everyone. ;)I love the idea! And it would also add yet another never-before visited country to our list!

San Marino is smaller that Lichtenstein and it's all uphill.
Or ride on a donkey (Is there a donkey in San Marino?) :lol3:

I love San Marino. They could have them climb the three towers.that will be great as well but I think that will be a pit stop? :duno:

Worldwide copyright claims
SABAM, Belgium's society for collecting royalties, has claimed worldwide intellectual property rights on all reproductions of the Atomium image via the United States Artists Rights Society (ARS) .[3] For example SABAM issued a demand that a United States website remove all images of the Atomium from its pages.[4] The website responded by replacing all such images with a warning not to take photographs of the Atomium, and that Asbl Atomium will sue if you show them to anyone.[4][5] Sabam confirmed that permission is required.[4]
Ralf Ziegermann remarked[6] on the complicated copyright instructions on Atomium's website specific to "private pictures".[7] The organisers of Belgian heritage, Anno Expo (www.expo58.eu, planning the 50th anniversary celebrations of Expo '58), in the city of Mechelen announced a "cultural guerrilla strike" by asking people to send in their old photographs of the Atomium and requested 100 photoshoppers to paint over the balls.[8][9] SABAM responded that they would make an exception for 2008 and that people could publish private photographs for one year only on condition they were for non-commercial purposes.[8]
Anno Expo later announced they had censored part of their own report due to "complications" and referred to a meeting they had with SABAM.[10] Mechelen's Mayor, Bart Somers, called the Atomium copyright rules absurd.[11]
On February 23, 2009 Axel Addington, Web Content Manager for Atomium, e-mailed a clarification to the Glass Steel and Stone web site, which some years earlier redacted its photographs of the Atomium after being threatened. He stated, "The royalties are perceived (sic) by the descendants of Andre Waterkeyn, the engineer who conceived Atomium in 1955, and not by the A.S.B.L Atomium. So, you've probably been sued by the SABAM (Belgian Copyright Company) because of the Waterkeyn Family."
From the Atomium's website, the current copyright restrictions exempt private individuals under the following conditions,[12]
There are some cases however where use of the image of the Atomium is not restricted by any rights. This is the case where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose (the current trend for photo albums), as long as these pictures are displayed at a low resolution (600 pixels maximum, resolution of 72dpi) to avoid abusive usage and downloads. However, the words "© www.atomium.be - SABAM 2010 - photographers name" must be included next to the image.
So here are the summary on TAR 19 on all the cities and countries that they racing it:
Starting point - Los Angeles, CA
leg 1: Taipei, Taiwan
leg 2: Yogyakarta, Indonesia
leg 3: Bali, Indonesia
leg 4: Phuket, Thailand [?]
leg 5: Malawi
leg 6: Kenya
leg 7: Cyprus
leg 8: Milan, Italy
leg 9: somewhere in Italy and (hopefully *cross our fingers*) San Marino
leg 10: Brussels, Belgium
leg 11: Lugano, Switzerland
final leg: somewhere in the US Atlantic coast cities.
A penultimate leg in Belgium means they can have final city just about anywhere with a single connection. I wouldn't limit analysis just to the East Coast (especially since the last times we were in a situation like this, we went from Prague to Vegas and Moscow to Portland).
Okay I am thinking Amsterdam might be a connection point to another European country, because Amsterdam has had so many visits I kind of find it hard to believe they would go back soon. :duno:
Actually the race has only visited Amsterdam 3 times, the last being in season 15. So it could very well be where the teams were going.

I absolutely agree with you. If they're coming back from Brussels. Non-stops to the US are:
New York (JFK and EWR)
Chicago
Atlanta
Philadelphia
Washington, DC (a finish run at The Mall would be impressive).
A nice concept that it is time for the penultimate leg. Today is day 19 of the race. Typically, an Amazing Race lasts for 21 days or longer. The return from Europe is usually after an extended pit stop so Brussels (if true) as the penultimate leg is barely possible.

OK! Then lets give them a tan and bring them back through Cancun. Mexico deserves a break after 15 seasons!
Not happening, they will not risk the saftey of the racers.
Mexico 04/22/2011
I didn't mean to offend you...
Anyways, I wouldn't visit Mexico at all, it seems like every other month a Canadian tourist is randomly killed.
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.htmlQuoteMexico 04/22/2011
This is why they won't go to Mexico.
TAR Australia is flying into Israel on the next episode, and their first stop was Indonesia. So I wouldn't rule it out based on security. Anyway, I can't see them fitting it in from what we know about the route.
I think the expression of violence in Mexico reflects the popular perception of it as a center for drug wars. However, as Xarles quite properly points out, Mexico is an incredible place for tourists to visit. Among the great places where I have been and AR19 could go are:
Cancun (yes, indeed)
Cozumel
Merida
Mexico City
Oaxaca
Acapulco (despite the fact that there are killings there, it's still a fabulous tourist paradise)
Puerto Vallarta (would be a bit humid this time of the year, but that never stops an Amazing Race from steamy places)
Guadalajara
The one place where it would not be appropriate to visit is Tiajuana, but why would AR19 want to go there anyway?

I wonder how Mo and Mos would have gone in Israel, given the fighting between mostly Jewish Israel and mostly Arab/Muslim Palestine.
I wonder if we could see a transit airport...JFK, Toronto, somewhere else first?
Hope all of you will be helping with the finale watch!!
I have to admit, that train of spec lost me somewhere in the middle.
Why does the fact that she tweeted @iamspecialized mean she was with racers?
With the most and least solid, with the weakest and strongest clues and some feeling, this is the route I can come up with, for now. Can you all help me know if it fits in as it should?I think that Brussels sighting is much more like a local race thing...or I miss something?

Peach, this could be the sort of year where Atlanta as a final destination city might actually be in play.
They've done Miami twice now, New York twice, and as far as international flights go from Europe, Atlanta, Boston, and D.C., and maybe Philly are about all that are left. They've used Boston as a start city. So, I suspect the ATL has at least a 1 in 3 chance this year, and teams can use the Metro out of the airport and avoid taxis completely or for parts of it. They haven't forced teams to use public transit on the finale since Chicago in TAR 6 and I think that is overdue. :)
I'm not going to post possible finish line locations (although I think there are a few around Atlanta that are definitely in play, depending on what theme Bert and Company want to pursue for the final leg.)
And this summer, for some reason, there is a lot of road construction going on with all the interstates in the metro area.
I have found that WRP likes to use parks, stadiums, and homes most of the time for the finish line. Turner Field should be empty today as the Braves we're just owned here in Philly. If I recall correctly from the year I lived there, it has some history to it.
Or the..... Swan House! A bit secluded! :snicker:
Or the..... Swan House! A bit secluded! :snicker:
What does this tell you? Website (http://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/cms/Swan+House/116.html) :lol3:
Not only secluded, but hard to get to, and even the cab srivers would have trouble with it.
Is Atlanta for sure the finale city?
OMG OMG OMG. :hearts:
Is the race over now? Is it safe?
OMG OMG!!!! I hope you have some pics that will tease us at the end!!! :jumpy::lol:
We SO wanted to tell you all, but as you all know, RFF chooses to never reveal the start or finale locations in advance...to protect the race from unintentional interference.
Yes!! To my utmost joy and delight, TAR 19 completed the race in my own hometown!!
FINALE CITY: ATLANTA, GEORGIA
FINALE DATE: JULY 10, 2011
PITSTOP: THE SWAN HOUSE
We SO wanted to tell you all, but as you all know, RFF chooses to never reveal the start or finale locations in advance...to protect the race from unintentional interference.
And yes, The Swan House has always been my own TOP pick for a Pitstop in Atlanta...way back when I first suggested it to Cocoa for his game. A PERFECT choice.
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2019/FINALE/b7ec30b5.jpg)
So I have a question -- how did YOU know before hand where the finish line was?
how can u crack that code (the one with the swan house in the background with all those letter/numbers/symbols in it)?
Swan House by the way, is in the middle of the Buckhead neighborhood -- very near -- three or four blocks, depending on how you count them, of the main intersection of Peachtree Road and West Paces Ferry, and directly off of Andrews Road. (There's a Swan Coach House reastuarant, that is on the same 30 or so acres. but it is not the Swan House.) When you look at the neighboorhood on Google Earth, you will understand why Peach and I both say it is hard to get to even for the taxi drivers; and it is in the middle of a rich, urban neighborhood!
So I have a question -- how did YOU know before hand where the finish line was?

There are always interesting hints if you know where to look. :lol:
(http://i.imm.io/7mha.png)
Maybe they just needed to close them all at once to avoid suspicion? :duno: They are all operated by the Atlanta History Center. And the Swan House is normally open from 1-4 PM on Sundays.
So they also visited the gardens and the Margaret Mitchell house as well then.
mds, which one? There's more than one downtown.
There's the location of the building where the pharmacy was located where Coca-Cola was created; there's the original location of the World of Coca-Cola near Underground Atlanta (a history item right there as well), or the location of the current World of Coca-Cola on the north end of the Centennial Olympic Park, next to the Georgia Aquarium (the world's largest).
I'll be very interested to see where the final teams were sent between the airport and Swan House. On paper, there's a lot of possibilities.
I would say the same for other obvious places like Olympic Park and the Georgia Aquarium. Lots of people there, most of whom tweeted about it but no sightings.
The only way WRP could handle somewhere as busy as Atlanta is to go somewhere where most people aren't.

of course TAR15 had them repeling down Mandalay Bay and no one had a clue! :lol:
I suspect that given how ridiculously hot it was in Atlanta that many of the tasks may have been indoors (much like all the indoor tasks in Vegas).
which is the route??sorry, millanissimo no Qatar and France for TAR 19 and you should post this one on the specs section. :umn:
:hoot:
I think
1)TAIWAN
2)INDONESIA
3)THAILAND
4)MIDDLE EAST COUNTRY (QATAR)
5) SOUTH AFRICA Durban
6)MALAWI
7)ITALY Milan
8)FRANCE
9)USA

Personally, I find next season's route awesome.
leg 1: Taiwan (only visited once before)
leg 2/3: INDONESIA!!
leg 4: Phuket
leg 5/6/7: Malawi and/or South Africa and/or Kenya (a region that has not been visited since TAR 11)
leg 8/9/10: Europe (with a possibility of a third new country ex.: Belgium)
leg 11: hopefully Panama (Central America was last visited by a normal race in TAR 3)
leg 12: Atlanta (Peach's city, maybe she handed out the final clue :lol:)
This race course is seeming more and more like the fans wishlist course :lol: Indonesia, Denmark, Belgium, Atlanta, etc. are places people have been pushing for a long time and now we have them all at once.
:yess:
So it is shaping up to be:
Leg 1: USA-Chinese Taipei
Leg 2: Chinese Taipei- Indonesia
Leg 3: Indonesia
Leg 4: Indonesia-Thailand
Leg 5: Thailand-Malawi
Leg 6: Malawi
Leg 7: Malawi-?
Leg 8: ?- Denmark
Leg 9: Denmark
Leg 10:Denmark-Belgium
Leg 11:Belgium-Panama
Leg 12: Panama- Atlanta, USA.
That mystery destination connected through Amsterdam. If the leg was in Amsterdam why would teams fly to Denmark and then back to Belgium?
Also, there was a sighting that put teams in Helsinki?
leg 12: Atlanta (Peach's city, maybe she handed out the final clue :lol: )
That would be fabulous :hearts:
Is it safe to say teams connected through Amsterdam to get to Copenhagen?
With Northern Europe being towards the end, i would venture to bet trains were used instead of planes....thats how i would travel that area...
Any ideas of trains between Brussells and Copenhagen.
Though 'Hazard' spells out danger to me... maybe the teams placement is 'dangered' and could possibly be pushed down...?
Do both RB's ? ??? pure spec..
I Think that is a promotional thing from CBS, and not a change in the show's own graphics.
The font is identical to the one CBS has been using the last few seasons in promos, just different colors.

The only thing is that in Taipei it is very unlikely that all the teams could have done a task we did not see. ;)
SO I think that leaves the Hazard as the only possibility...and if it is given to the team who arrives last at the first leg...then it must be done before the Pitstop in Yogyakarta.
So my guess is that it couldd be a one team task done in Jogja.

Great research Domel! But I would still be surprised if something shown in the first promo was for an episode beyond the first two. Can't remember them doing that.
The only reason why the source of that clip could be a later episode is that we can't see any Racers in the episode. And the fact that we're having problems pinning down a location in either Taiwan or Indonesia that fits the clips, as well as a source for the vehicles, leaves this wide open.
And the fact that they haven't done that in the previously doesn't preclude it now, especially when the clip tells us nothing about the teams or the location or even what type of task might be involved.
^ Europe is easier to transport the cars and most of the car tasks all these years have been located in Europe. On the other hand drifting is most popular in Asia. So if we don't see the cars in the first two episodes my next bet would be Thailand.
Imagine though, if after all this speculation the cars turn out to have no real connection to the race. That would be hilarious.
The article I read did not mention episode 2, but "an upcoming leg," and the prize at the pit stop wasn't tied to any particular leg in the article.
Another map quiz on the final leg?
Another map quiz on the final leg?
If the final task is a map quiz, you will want me on your team :lol:I can't answer the question of team composition, Leafsfan. However, for a map quiz (not a flags quiz) the champions would be Neobie or me.
Haha, thanks for the compliment, Apskip!
A slightly enlarged version. Where did the teams get this clue? Los Angeles?
(ZOMG it's CYPRUS!) :snicker:
gator27,
Nice save! It is indeed Taiwan on its side and does not have the kinks that the map of Cyprus does, although its general shape is similar.
ZOMG it's CYPRUS! :snicker:
Taiwan however, is not shown in its normal north-south orientation.
I'd probably do pretty well with maps on the show, as well. I love maps. My favorite gadget is the Garmin, as it is a map I can tell with me. :)

Interesting...but I don't remember anything about an emergency in TAR..Survivor maybe? :lol:
The press release is out and added into the first post of the thread...if there had been a prob they almost certainly would have mentioned it, right?
I don't know if somebody has already said this but the map of Indonesia is wrong. It seems to include the Malay peninsula (which is not part of Indonesia) and the whole island of Timor (which Indonesia shares with East Timor). :groan:
BTW, I forgot if people spotted teams past Thailand or not. Can someone tell me if any teams were spotted in say, Malawi?

For fun, a speculated boot order:
Leg 7 Malawi:Bill and CathiJeremy and Sandy eliminated
Leg 8 Denmark: Laurence and Zac eliminated (this should be a fun leg, I think E/C will use their EP on the last leg for it and there could be a U-turn)
Leg 9 Belgium: Justin and Jennifer eliminated
Leg 10 Belgium:Amani and MarcusAndy and Tommy NEL
Leg 11 Panama:Amani and MarcusAndy and Tommy eliminated
Leg 12 Georgia:Ernie and CindyBill and Cathi win :wohoo:
The cluebox is not eliminated...it just has a new wardrobe for awhile. :lol:
heh... Nice to see you in spoilers!! :lol:
I hope it improves, but with such a bad casting i doubt it.
One thing I noticed is that there have been surprise elements where racers were supposed to think beyond their instructions, like the billboard in Taiwan, the "surrender your money" additional info and the whole "you should pay attention to what you are disassembling". That and the lack of normal clueboxes makes me think that the theme on this season is "think outside the box"
heh... Nice to see you in spoilers!! :lol:
okaaaaay. I quit trying to hide away from spoilers. I cannot stand the feeling of not looking for spoilers. :lol:
New cluebox containers? These are clever and innovative and I like it. The bird's nest one is my favorite!!
I totally agree...we all like tradition but in some ways this is a return to our roots. And I find this...and the cast...totally refreshing.
Oh and THE FERN is back!! :hearts:
And I suspect we were meant to have one more new country too...it wasn't Nepal sadly...but maybe LAOS was possible?
smoke that thunders, thank you...knew that didn't sound just right. :lol:
PS I know I'm asking for it with a nick like that, but I don't think I'm a newbie anymore... ;)
Most of the tasks are also very good and location very scenic (I simply LOVED the Phuket leg)
I hope it will continue like this!

Leg 11 Panama: Amani and Marcus eliminated
Leg 12 Georgia: Ernie and Cindy win :wohoo:
"Super Shady (Copenhagen, Denmark)"
Since Copenhagen is in the title, could there be a second Denmark leg?

Leg 11 Panama: Amani and Marcus eliminated
Leg 12 Georgia: Ernie and Cindy win :wohoo:
I'd prefer to have Andy & Tommy and Jeremy & Sandy eliminated instead of Amani & Marcus and Justin & Jennifer (the latter being a surprise for me), but I can accept Bill & Cathi and Laurence & Zac going home. And Ernie & Cindy are back to being my favorite team, so I hope they win.

On this matter, I find it curious, if I am not mistaken at this similar point last year, we did have a better idea of how the remainder of the season would roll out.
Just went through some of the other threads and the timeline, and there are very few sightings that could give us more concrete data to speculate on the placement of the teams still in the running.
From http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/amazing-race-19-2011/episode-9-season-19/amazing-race-19/327343
Season 19, Episode 9
Episode Synopsis: The race continues in Denmark and Belgium. Original Air Date: Nov 20, 2011
What could this mean? One task in Denmark and one in Belgium? Or maybe tasks in D and PitStop in B a bit like in leg 5? Or maybe the whole leg is in Belgium? Or a two hour episode with a TBC leg? ???

The Amazing Race
Episode 9 - 'It's Speedo Time' (Belgium)
CBS Schedule
A notable feature of the red Mustang shot is the long grass. It is unusual to see such unkempt greenery in a top-class circuit, unless it was a huge facility. This made me look into Ford Testing Facilities. We saw teams take a ride on the Mercedes-Benz test track in Germany in Season 9, so why not again with Ford? Ford have no testing grounds in Asia, but apart from one in the UK, the only other one in Europe is in BELGIUM: The Lommel Proving Ground.
The facility itself is huge, with a large variety of tracks which are all closed to the public. As a result, there are very few videos of the track itself. Of the few there are though, they show evidence of narrow straights, undulating terrain, forest cover on both sides with very similar trees to the ones we see in the footage. In short, some parts of the Ford facility seem to be a perfect fit for the Mustang task.
We've wondered why there was virtually no sightings of the race in Belgium. The test track is quite removed from any major city, so if teams were touring the remote Belgian countryside (or maybe even the Dutch as well; the border is only a couple of miles away) for this leg, no wonder we had no info.
Still no concrete proof, but at the moment, this is my best guess..

Nothing (no photos, no comments, no anything) should be posted from a racer's OWN Facebook without their written approval.

Why is everyone thinking Jeremy and Sandy is in the final three? :duno:
I don't know about the others but I've been suspecting for some time since an eyewitness posted here in RFF that she saw in Atlanta a team with cameras and the team was a man and a girl. The only two teams that she could be referring is E/C or J/S. But wouldn't she have said an Asian girl if it was Cindy?
Anyway it's a 50-50 chance!
That photo looks like Atlanta. However its an old photo.
I don't know if I am supposed to hide this anymore or not but I am tired of hedging around in spoilers.
I personally contacted that lady that was in the Atlanta airport that day months ago and we talked at length about what she saw there. Jeremy and Sandy were definitely there racing very quickly through the airport with cameras in tow and leaving their backpacks behind.
She did not see anymore teams that appeared to be in the final.
She did not see anymore teams that appeared to be in the final.
Has anyone heard of the use of decoys in the last several legs of each Amazing Race? After teams are no longer sent to Elimination Station, they typically travel with the entourage of clues and make themselves publicly visible to confuse RFF and others. The teams spotted most publicly in and around the final city are the ones most likely to be decoys.Why is everyone thinking Jeremy and Sandy is in the final three? :duno:

The sightings on Twitter seems to confirm Andy/Tommy in final 3. And ppl before saying they werent because of the F/M description of other spoiler.
All I'm saying is that no one, including myself, has any solid proof that any teams were spotted in Panama.

check out this video for Lommel proving ground. Around 1.00 the road and the forest is very similar to what we saw in the promo.
We've got to work out where exactly the line is between looking for spoilers and stalking the contestants. It feels like we've been getting too close to the bad side of that for a couple of seasons now - it honestly wouldn't surprise me if there's another six-year wait before the next Australia visit after what happened in TAR18.
There's a difference between having a few team types (eg. "two blonde girls in pink") spoiled at the start of the season and having entire legs - tasks, locations, arrivals - spoiled, though.
I'm pretty sure this is a shot from Indonesia. The spelling of 'Taksi' on the roof is a dead giveaway and as far as I know, they don't spell it like that in Panama..
I really think Amani and Marcus will win. They have a nothing but positive edit, they are always being promoted and they can beat Jeremy and Sandy and Ernie and Cindy sometimes. Somehow it seems like Andy and Tommy get eliminated in Panama :( :( :(
It's either Amani Marcus or Tommy Andy who will fall short
The editing tonight hints That Andy Tommy might fall short of Fall 3

Wait a second now. Sucks did nothing spoiler wise this season. This has been all RFF.
One could argue that several teams this season have had very positive edits, and not just Amani-Marcus. (Andy-Tommy and Ernie-Cindy, for sure -- and there really hasn't been a lot editorially about Jeremy-Sandy.) I don't buy into the editing theory of predicting winners on TAR, and there have been enough seasons where that rule hasn't worked to make such a prediction theory dubious at best.

Just a note here.All I'm saying is that no one, including myself, has any solid proof that any teams were spotted in Panama.
I am going to disagree with this. I have no reason to not believe that batmanwell saw exactly what he said he saw, when he first posted in a non-spoiler thread on yuku.
The problem is that certain posters are making assumptions based on that information that are ASSUMPTIONS, and not necessarily correct ones. So examine the data, form your own conclusions, but please do NOT repost others' assumptions and speculation as fact here.
And Bull Halsey @ Sucks did a very good job collating all the available data...again, the problem is those who are (mis) interpreting that data, not the data itself.
In any case, have fun, feel free to add any new info or facts to the discussion!
