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?
It isn't the only train to get there though, maybe there are teams ahead or far behind,
so it's an unknown now.

I highly doubt that this season would allow such a travesty that happened in all stars 1 with teams departing the pit stop even before another set of teams only beginning the previous leg.

From my experience, the altitude in Lijiang wasn't bad (& this is coming from a person who lives in a low, flat basin). It's the lay out of the streets, especially in the old city, that could make teams lose time. Very confusing, lots of small alleyways without clear markings & a lot of them are uphill which can be tiring after you get lost for hours looking for one frigging place.
I remember there's one place where people hang up lots of small wooden plaques with their wishes, this could be part of a task.

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

It's possible but that would still put Ron/Chris, Kisha/Jen, FT/BE, and CB's behind them though since they were spotted at the station after Gallory. It is possible 3 teams were ahead of them though but you would think that now they are out of Japan they would be spotted by now.

Could have been the Goths or Margie and Luke though. Jaime could have someone monitoring her FB.

contestants are not to have any outside contact while in sequester. Even after being eliminated. I am sure she has someone accessing it.

Most of the updates are auto posts.........like from apps that you can add to your account to post horoscope, good thoughts.......etc

The photo was probably taken a while ago before being uploaded, isn't it? can't really expect up-to-date by the minute...

was that after they checked in or a task before checking in?

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!

time he commented or the time he saw the teams?

ron and christina performing what? is it a task? how were they safe? are they enjoying? sorry, too vague?

also, are there eyewitness reports on who got eliminated in Japan?

EDIT: woops, read it. gosh, chinese is hard to understand.

Amanda & Kris eliminated in Oz, Cowboys in Japan

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.

Neobie.....I keep having flashbacks to the movie......Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.........
