TheRabbi November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 RFF is specualting that it's an all-dating-couples season, with 9 co-ed pairs, one gay, and one lesbian. That would be pretty devastating. Link to comment

Paron Xanthis November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 Nine coed teams? A record, as the highest number they've had in season up to now has been eight (in TAR6 and TAR8). But really, if they were going to go with a season full of couples, they really should've cast more gay and lesbian couples. At least two of each. All of these possibly-interchangeable couples won't be good for the show. Link to comment
Rusun November 14, 2014 Author Share November 14, 2014 One can only hope that the producers for the Canadian version wisely follow the TAR25 template in terms of casting rather than this upcoming homogenisaster. Link to comment
Rusun November 16, 2014 Author Share November 16, 2014 (edited) For this February's unprecedented "season premiere followed by the second episode less than 48 hours later" - and curiously unlike the TAR15 opener treatment - Leg 1 will return to Japan to visit not only Tokyo, but also Nagano, host of the '98 (Winter) Olympics. As of the start of Leg 2, there's photographic evidence at Narita Airport of three teams definitely still in the running: Laura and Tyler as well as both M/M teams. In addition, a witness's testimony mentions a quick exchange with the interracial couple. (All four pairs were trying to connect through Bangkok to the next destination, Phuket.) With regards to teams spotted in Thailand proper, a video shows three more pairs: the long-haired man with the plaid-skirted woman, the blonde couple in light-blue, plus Jeff and Christy, the latter of whom asks, "Who else got in?!" http://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152761450617696 Edited November 20, 2014 by Rusun Link to comment

Rusun December 6, 2014 Author Share December 6, 2014 User "nomii" from SurvivorSucks saw the interracial couple on his/her flight from Spain to the United States, which means that they're going to South America alongside Tyler and Laura plus New York guy with unidentified female companion: I was in Madrid Airport (Terminal 4S), and saw the above pic happening also. It was an asian girl and a black guy, and another generic white couple, along with some pretty hot cameramen. They were boarding some flight on Iberia Airlines around 1pm on Decemeber 3rd (I was running to a different flight so couldn't get further details). Terminal 4S is typically used in Madrid for non-Shengen flights, so they're out of Europe most likely. Anyways, here's my flight info: If that pic was from some other airport then most likely it just means that its some other set of racers? It was definitely the amazing race though since the asian girl was giving an interview, the snippet of conversation i heard as i went by mentioned the word elimination. So it wasn't some other reality show. Link to comment

According to RFF, the penultimate leg is a TBC, and the final leg features a F4, but with a mid-leg elimination. The F4 are apparently Tyler & Laura, Rochelle & Mike, the black man and Asian woman, and an as-of-yet-unidentified coed couple. Sounds like both gay couples were eliminated before the F5, because the fifth-place team was confirmed as another coed team. Link to comment

beedee April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 Again, not sure where to post this...Do we have a gossip section?! Anyway, I've been told by a little birdie that Kurt has been wanting to quit since Leg 1. Bergen has been trying to motivate him, but he finally gave up on this leg. There's really only so much one can do when your partner refuses to continue. I'm surprised they lasted this long. On a juicier note, apparently Hayley tried to sleep with Blair on their first pit stop but was rejected. This is the reason why she went from annoying to vicious. None of the other cast members can stand her and she is exactly as she is in real life as she is on the show. Jenny & Jelani barely tolerated each other, since Jenny did have a bf even before she went on the race (which production knew, but they needed their token Asian!). And at least one blind date couple have hooked up. 4 Link to comment

cooksdelight April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 I was reading something interesting this morning on a site about the history of the show. Sometimes, roadblock segments are edited out. For a variety of reasons. I had never heard this before, but they cited one that got deleted because tourists took photos and posted them online. http://amazingrace.wikia.com/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_%28US%29 Complete tasks have been known to be cut from an episode, usually due to the lack of impact on race standings for that task. Roadblocks are most commonly edited out should teams depart in the same order as they arrive, though evidence for these Roadblocks can be found from footage still shown, interviews with racers, or from spoiler information. For example, teams arriving on Mauritius for a kayaking Roadblock in Season 10 was recorded by vacationers and posted to the Internet shortly afterwards, but the entire Roadblock was removed from the episode as shown. In another case, in the first leg in Poland in Season 11, Joe & Bill confirmed that a Roadblock involving rowing across a pond to the Pit Stop was edited out. An ostrich egg eating Roadblock was edited from the first episode in Season 1 but included as part of the extras in the DVD release. In order to keep continuity with clues, editors will use sound bites from the readings multiple clues to mask the missing task. This explains why some of the editing has seemed choppy this season. That, and the fact that production will have them re-do things if they didn't get a good shot the first time. Link to comment

SnideAsides April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 And at least one blind date couple have hooked up. Can confirm. (Spoiler: It wasn't Bergen and Kurt.) I can also confirm that the blind date gimmick was forced upon the show by CBS, and despite the "It's not so bad? I guess?" general reaction to it and the callout for more solo players, it sounds as if it was such a production nightmare that the producers would rather just end the show than go through it again. 5 Link to comment
ProfCrash April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 I don't mind the solo pairing, I mind the blind date element and trying to force the love. Find solo people who want to race and cast them as a team, see what happens, but when you add the "love" element to it you just make a tough situation that much more difficult. 1 Link to comment

kaygeeret April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 A pox on CBS! The idiots don't know what they have and, apparently, only want the Kardashian lovers and their ilk! They don't really appreciate what they have in this show. I have watched (and kvetched forever about sports) on Sunday and it has been a big adjustment to remember the show is in on Friday.......and I am a forever fan, can't imagine what the casual fans are doing - yeap I can, if they remember they watch, if they don't they fall out of the habit.

justawatcher April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 (edited) And at least one blind date couple have hooked up. Can confirm. (Spoiler: It wasn't Bergen and Kurt.) I commented in the episode section that Hayley is behaving like a woman who recently got laid- no stress, all happy. Maybe it was Jeff (based on the Instagram pictures) and the fact that she has started to become cranky and dismissive again since he was eliminated. Or, maybe it was a sound guy or a local, but the girl has had some stress relief. Also, what's up with Laura calling Tyler "babe" and "baby"? It was definitely edited as a one-way thing. You never heard him say that. For the two of you who heard it and confirmed it, did they hook up on the race or after? Edited April 19, 2015 by justawatcher Link to comment
