mds1978,

Of course Peach would have positioned herself to spot the teams. However, I predict that she believes that revealing that information before the actual finale telecast will be detrimental. For any who remember it the list that puddin publicized of all the eliminations throughout AR11 took away all the fun of that season, so it is not likely to ever happen again. I expect that Peach will sit on what she knows for about 5 months until just after the first or second Sunday in December. However, I expect that all Detectives or others can present any available information in the interim.

If Peach has a different perspective than mine expressed above I am sure we will hear form her.

Well said, let's hope that last sentence is true. I wish she would come back.

The site has always been for Detectives digging up local reports, photos, ect to help figure out what is going to happen.  But Peach and Puddin have held back info that they knew to be accurate when their wasn't local information backing it up (and detailed).

And while Peach if she was able to track them) is a local to the area, I seriously, seriously doubt she would post anything as she doesn't want RFF to be in a position where any sources could get into trouble.

But isn't the point of reading spoilers to be spoiled? If you don't want the results of the race to be spoiled, wouldn't it just make sense to not read them?

So did peach spot the teams? Any news? Will there be any spoiler info?

And why would I bother to answer someone who thinks so well of us??

Just a quote: "Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to us who do."  :tup:

Don't question why they are not released now. Just wait for the right time, it will come. ;) You don't want to ruin the show, right? Be contented to what you have.... because if the spoilers have been released all in all, that's spoonfeeding, right?

^^ Yes, but people come here to figure out who won, etc. If they don't have that info, most people won't care for visiting here anymore. They don't want to do work, they want spoilers. That's just the basic reality of things...

I personally don't even look at the spoilers for outcome, but that's what the majority care about, not about if they are being spoon-fed or not.

Anyway, let's come to the conclusion that Peach has already come to an agreement with the producers not to share any outcome spoilers, and will be cropping her photos so that  nothing can be spoiled and keep the originals for later use.

(And peach, feel free to move this anywhere since I'm sure it belongs somewhere, I wouldn't suggest deleting it this time, though)

I will say this ONCE.

Our team WORKS for our information. Hard.

I have NO CBS or WRP or ANY production contacts feeding me any info. Now or ever.

I only wish! :lol:  Maybe I could have slept more than 2 hours a day for the past 3 weeks.

Now...

this thread is NOT for discussions on the ethics of spoiling. Or my techniques, for that matter. So moving on...
 
Oh editing this to add...
 
Whichever season we erroneously reported 4 beauty queens...
 
I did receive a terse message from someone possibly affiliated with WRP saying NOT 4 Beauty Queens. Does that count?? :lol3:
 
And really Snooky?? Threatening me now?? :res:

I don't post much, but geez, sometimes this gets ridiculous. I marvel at the work that all of the TAR detectives do. It's obvious you all enjoy what you are doing and it's also obvious that while "anyone" could theoretically do it, it takes some serious time and dedication to get results. Those of you who are "dying" to know who the winners are now are missing the point. The chase is the thing! And if you REALLY WANT TO KNOW THAT BADLY.....start planning to work on TAR 20 and earn some answers.

It wasn't threatening, it was blatantly since you were asleep and everyone would see it anyway. :lol:

Anyway, I love the work the TAR Detectives find, I just don't like how everything is so filtered that it seems to many like the TAR Detectives are hoarding spoilers and then show that you know certain things.

I honestly never look at outcome spoilers.

THIS is one of the many reasons I love you peach!  Give 'em hell baby!!

There are so many that are very content to sit back and enjoy  the fruits of your labor, and then complain when you dont hand them everything they want to know.  I've always respected your philosophy that although you love the spoiling, you love the show more.  Your determination not to do anything to hurt the show, its contestants or its ratings makes you a class act in my book. 
And like others have said before,  if people want to know what happens on the Race,  let them spend a 10th of the time, effort and energy that you do on figuring things out.  If they're not willing to do that, then they have no right to complain!

oxymoron?? If you "honestly" don't look, then why are you commenting on "hoarding spoilers"?? Since you then wouldn't know, right?
 
I appreciate everyone else! Our team is SO hard working, constantly balancing the thrill of the chase with the safety of the racers and the love of the SHOW (vs the spoilers). It can be a difficult balancing act that sometimes does require holding back some info temporarily. For those reading here only and not involved at RFF...I would suggest just avoiding the spoilers if you find that frustrating.
 
:thankyou: to everyone, we will hopefully have some info coming about the Finale events in the next few days once we all get some sleep, and catch up on our real life commitments, and review the day ourselves!

Peach is the best.  I only wish I could have joined her for the fun.   :jam: 

All the caterwauling babies should go back to Sucks where you can scream and cry together.

That being said has anybody tried to figure out where ritz077 works.  Good Luck!   :lol3:

from Fife's article today:
Quote
All was quiet on the Twitter front until 2:09 p.m. on July 10, 2010 when user ritz077 tweeted “The Amazing Race show just literally ran thru my workplace.” The user’s tweets about living in Atlanta were the first public indication that The Amazing Race 19’s final destination was the Georgian capital.

You Sucksters ought to fit right in with Mr. ritz077 !

I'm stepping in to put an end to one particular discussion.

It would be ridiculous to spoil the finale before the show has even aired. Who would watch, care or discuss it. Regardless of this, what Peach knows or doesn't know is her prerogative to reveal or keep private. It is not for us to demand that she tell us. Fair warning. Any further comments about what Peach knows or doesn't know will be removed without notice and if needed further steps will be taken.

If you want spoilers and you aren't happy with what you know right now then do your own sleuthing or wait because at some point it will be revealed.

If you don't read or want spoilers then you are on the wrong board.

If you are reading here to carry it somewhere else, it's a little pathetic to demand answers so you can be a bigshot somewhere else.

One more comment. I would be extremely careful about stating something as fact if you don't have proof that it IS a fact. As far as I know, message board posts are subject to libel laws.

My goodness folks.  The TAR detectives work hard for us.  We reap the benefits of their labor.  I enjoy sitting home with my bon bons while they snoop out the latest ondits.  As my mom always told me.  PLAY NICE
