» Spoilers: Season 12 and earlier Options

[Miss Alli]

I am pinning this final warning to ensure that it can't possibly be missed.

If you can be shown to read this thread (that is, you post in it) and you are found going elsewhere on the boards and using spoiler information which you are trying to pass off as speculation, that is a warnable/bannable offense.

Seriously, it's really unfair to other posters, and it's also really lame, because it comes off like you're cheating and trying to make yourself look like you're just a very good guesser.

Please, please stop this. I have had more problems with this during this season than during any other, and I'm determined to get it stomped down as we get closer to the end. I don't want the show ruined for other people. Please don't continue to engage in this, if you're engaging in it now. Thanks very much to the great majority of you who are careful about this.

Aw, come on! They went to Hong Kong, already? So much for me spotting the teams.

My thoughts exactly! If Danny and Oswald were here AGAIN and I didn't get a chance to spot them.... argh!! I'm a bit bummed now. Should go around the city and see if I spot any Mcflags. Hehe.

Was that why HK was on the map again - even the producers want to see Danny and Oswald shop again? Hee. I'm sure they'll be glad to see all the new shops and their favorite hotel Mandarin around their Landmark mall.

I didn't know they would film that early because I usually go back to HK during the summer which I was hoping to stalk some landmarks and see what I would find. As it's All-Stars, the teams would be easier to recognize. Too bad.

Is the HK sighting completely confirmed? Because I'm excitied to see them running where I'm from. I wonder where they went to in HK though. I guess we'll find out some information soon from the poster soon, I hope.

Some friends of mine are Peace Corps vols in Mozambique and claim that the race came through Maputo sometime between Thanksgiving and December 7. One of the destinations was the old Portuguese fort (pictured here: http://tabisite.com/gallery_af/mozambique/91af265.jpg). Unfortunately they didn't have any other details. This does seem consistent with the spoilers that teams were on their way to South Africa, as Maputo is usually reached through Joburg.

I think HK if they went there is the F4 because if the Malaysia spoiler is correct, that was F5. There's usually no NEL in the F5 right? I'm stoked that the BQ's were spotted. It's looking like a good season for me.

Well in the nine season of regular two team Amazing Race we ahve had either non eliminations or TBC legs in the following seasons.

Season 1: Legs 8 & 9
Season 2: Legs 8 & 9
Season 3: Legs 8,9 & 10
Season 4: Legs 8 & 9
Season 5: Legs 8,9 & 10
Season 6: 0
Season 7: Legs 8 & 9 were a TBC or Double Leg
Season 9: Legs 8 & 9
Season 10: Legs 9 & 10

So based on this it is exceptionally likely that the final five are in two episodes. Now the Malaysia leg might have been teh first of those or it might have been the 2cd of them.

Only time will tell.

That? Has only guarenteed my appearance to TARCON11. (I must be one of the few that LIKES Charla and Mirna.)

Can we be friends, mtlchickie? I like them, too, and think they were screwed in their original season by the ineptitude of their flight service.

[MikeB399]

I have very mixed feelings about those teams in those photos. Charla and Mirna are crazy, hyper-competitive, insane characters, and while I don't know if I want them to win, I know they made TAR5 one of my favorite seasons. Cha Cha Cha/Danny & Oswald are my favorite team ever and I'm so happy to see them make it this far.

Then there's Dustin and Kandice. I think TAR loves them a great deal. I don't want this to be like what happened with Stephanie on Survivor when she came back for a second season right after her first season, and she was in 3/4 of every episode until I finally quit watching in frustration. I'm afraid that the Chas and the other teams might end up having to look bad or get less time just because TPTB might want to focus more on their new favorites.

[TheAngleMan]

Mike considering how well those three teams are suppose dto have done, I think they will all get ample screen time.

Besides i think they are going to spend some time explaining why some of the early teams made it to all stars for the benifit of those who haven't watched.

[sedano]

Then there's Dustin and Kandice. I think TAR loves them a great deal.

I think the TPTB at TAR luv Dustin & Kandice so much because they really want an all-female team to win the race, and they think that the beauty queens are their best shot at making that wish come true. Be that as it may, I really hate those girls, and I am very disappointed to see that they are in the Final 5 of the All-Star edition. I find them to be smug, rude, arrogant, and just generally insufferable. Maybe they will redeem themselves in the All-Star version from this past season, but I doubt it.

Even looking at the second picture, I still can't remember either of them at all. And yet ... they are on "All Stars". Ugh. Memorable teams, people, memorable teams.

At least they were arrogant with reason.

At least they were arrogant with reason.

I wouldn't call finishing the same position as Meredith/Gretchen and being beaten by two unfit single moms as deserving of the amount of arrogance they've got, though.

[MikeB399]

At least they were arrogant with reason.

There's almost never a reason for a team to say all the other teams are jealous of them, especially when three of those teams ended up beating them.

When I read a comment Rob made after the show that Dustin and Kandice made and then broke an alliance with Rob/Kim and James/Tyler, I thought back to the editing this season and how we never saw that happen (we did see them do this to Peter and Sarah). The story was almost slanted to look like the models and Rob/Kim were picking on Dustin and Kandice. I don't want to see my favorite team get a negative edit or made to look bad because TPTB may want to keep Dustin and Kandice as the big favorites. I guess all I can hope for is Danny and Oswald don't give any opportunity to be made to look bad.

I really wonder if Jon and Kris are on this race or not. Has that been confirmed? Unless they have a Peter/Sarah style elimination I can't see them going out so early, so early that they won't even make fifth place.

Apparently someone logged into Danielle's Myspace on the 11th. If that was her, and not someone checking her Myspace for her, that would mean Eric and Danielle get fourth or fifth place.

[Ace of Spades]

How early was the alliance made and was it just a sharing of information type of alliance? Or was it this - I read that R/K, T/J and D/K had an "alliance", I guess you could say, to get rid of the Six-Pack. They didn't really break that.

Someone posted that they saw a message from Kris on Rebecca's MySpace. So if Kris and Jon were on the race, they got eliminated early unless that wasn't her.
