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's so hard to believe that they will have a U-Turn that early! Then again Season 15 did on Leg 3...

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  :tup: :jam:

AGREED!

I found this on twitter..

"The Amazing Race journey continues...off to Amsterdam"
 :duno: :duno:


It was posted by someone that was in London and Paris and now on the way to Amsterdam......nothing all all to do with TAR

Is there anyway to ask Mad Joe to clarify what he means regarding the U-Turn?

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)


I'm confused too

So 1 or 2 of Margie/Luke/, Mel/Mike, and Jamie/Cara were eliminated in Japan, right?

And do we know yet if there was one or 2 legs in Japan?

Some add information:
No speedbump this season,goth must come first next leg or they will receive a 30-mins  penalty.

Ohhhhhhh I hope this was a misunderstanding :/ The Speed Bump was by far the best NEL punishment. Well, at least when it was a reasonable task, not something like running through fireworks or sitting on ice or in a sauna.

Really? I find the Speed Bump the most fair NEL penalty.

The tour guide standing next to Phil comfirms maggie/luke,kisha/jen,flight time/big easy,jet/cord,and teams i witnessed christina/ron

From Mad_Joe

so Mel/Mike,Jamie/Cara may be on their way to somewhere now...

So it looks like Amanda/Kris gone in Leg 1, and Mel/Mike and Jamie/Cara in Leg 2 and 3(if there is 2 Japan Legs). Because since China is a NEL, there is no way there is a NEL in Japan, especially since Australia was a TBC leg.

lol, TAR14 is really failing this Race.

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 ??

Do u think the other japan is just a stop over?If it is J/C or M/M (one of them) COULD still be racing!

Isn't safe to say at least one of them were eliminated? 8 teams were spotted in China(with photo evidence, IIRC), and 10 left for Japan. Even if there is only one Japan leg, either Mel/Mike or Jamie/Cara have to be eliminated.

ETA: oops, no photos of FT/BE or Margie/Luke. I thought there was a photo of Kisha/Jen in China, but couldnt find it.

just saw mallory and her father,and jamie and cara,so 9 teams are heading to kunming right now from the train station in lijiang

from Mad_Joe

Now we really feel sad to Mel and Mike.
she 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
so, Lijiang --> Kunming?

I found this online :

"There is no rail link between Kunming and Lijiang. The closest you can get by train is to Dali (which is another notable tour destination in Yunnan). But the trains are slow (8 to 9 hours to cover the 360 km between Kunming and Dali) and from Dali to Lijiang it is another 200 km. So this is not a very convenient way to go from Kunming to Lijiang."

so,do you think they will take a train and then drive/take a bus?

From mad_joe's microblog again:
"I told mallory fans in China love her so much because of her sunshine smile,she is so cute in person"

He is so lucky to have a chance to meet with so many racers and Phil!
