In contrast to the current season, the upcoming teams mostly failed to color-code themselves; they consist of nine (sic) M/Fs, two M/Ms, and either one or zero F/Fs, depending on whether there are eleven or twelve pairs total.

 

  1. aforementioned African-American M/F from Tuskegee
  2. lengthy-haired and plaid-skirted M/F, respectively, reminiscent of TAR9's Nerds Dave-Lori
  3. blonde TAR15 winner Meghan-Cheyne lookalike M/F in light-blue
  4. Laura, Californian television consultant, and Tyler, Floridian tech entrepreneur, blind dating couple
  5. interracial M/F couple, Asian-American lady with African-American gentleman
  6. Jeff Weldon, former casting applicant, with female companion assumed to be Christy McIntyre, both from Tampa
  7. black-haired M/F with matching dark-blue tops and yellow shorts, a la TAR20 Texans Ralph-Vanessa
  8. cross-generational M/F significant others in orange, older Jeff with younger Lyla
  9. gay M/M in gray, Jonathan Knight from former boy-band New Kids on the Block with partner Harley Rodriguez
  10. brunette M/F in black, in the mode of TARCanada2's Maritime wife/mom Jen and Prairie son Cormac
  11. other M/M in green, uncannily similar to TAR23 Okies Tim-Danny
  12. lesbian F/F?

I have said for YEARS that Jon should be on this show.  And now it's finally happening. (Though I laugh that 60% of NKOTB are now associated with CBS in drama, comedy and now reality shows.)

 

My fangirling cannot be contained.

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.

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?!"

Laura, Californian television consultant, and Tyler, Floridian tech entrepreneur, blind dating couple

This is probably an incredibly stupid question, but is one or both of them actually visually impaired?  Or did they meet on a blind date?  OR, oh!  Is *TAR* one very long blind date?  ;)  I know it's probably the second scenario, but I don't think we've had a visually impaired racer, and that could be interesting, so I had to ask.

As of the end of Leg 3 - likely having taken place in Bangkok - there exists camera evidence at Suvarnabhumi/BKK Airport of several safe teams: green (a.k.a. not NKotB) M/M, interracial couple, blondes, Jeff and Christy, and long-haired guy with plaid-skirted gal are standing together while the male racers of Team Shorts (tattoo/bandana) and brunettes-in-black (backwards TX cap) are in one image with a woman who appears to be Lyla. In addition, a passerby mentions the aforementioned green M/M openly talking about Laura and Tyler.

The racers journey to the Australian island-province of Tasmania for Leg 4, where the interracial couple's alleged antagonistic presence at Bangkok Airport continues in full force:

 

November 22, 2014 at 3:01pm
... hobart, Tasmania!
Anyway the interesting thing is we saw contestants of The amazing Race this morning at that Saturday market. They were fighting over the clue because the chinese girl and her boyfriend said the other team cut their queue. I was so stupid cuz I didn’t realised it was The amazing race till D told me.
They also asked us to google for drive directions to Cradle Mountain -

With Leg 5 also predicted to remain in Tassie, Leg 6 marks a dramatic jump to Monaco, another brand-new Mediterranean country - and fittingly visited the week that Malta aired - with Tyler and Laura as well as the interracial couple safe!

It might be when you learn of this.  The F8 were spotted at the start of what appeared to be leg five, and he and his boyfriend were not one of those teams.

 

Ironically, the black Tuskegee couple, the first team officially spotted by RFF, might've also been the first team out.  The May/December team of Jeff & Lyla were more than likely second.  Jonathan & Harley were the third team out.

Precisely to all of the above.

 

In addition, Leg 9 or 10 will be in Amsterdam with Tyler and Laura safe once more as well as Rochelle and Mike:

For this February's unprecedented "season premiere followed by the second episode less than 48 hours later" - and curiously unlike TAR15 - not only will the Wednesday opener return to Tokyo, but the Friday episode will also stay in the country for its first ever double-leg and visit Nagano, host of the '98 (Winter) Olympics.

Tyler and Laura cleared the Netherlands and got spotted at Lima's Chavez Airport alongside fellow F4 contestant Tattooed Muscles in Shorts, who's apparently from NY and tired of resting at flight terminals:

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:

 

4kJgaNJ.jpg

 

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

If I am reading that last spoiler correctly, they were NOT on the same flight to the U.S. from Spain, as the poster had said that was her flight info but they were on a different Iberian Air flight.

 

Precisely, nomii encountered them at Barajas Airport en route to Peru during the former's return trip back to North America.

 

So do we know who the final three are?

 

Nope, since zero finale sightings have surfaced (i.e. been uploaded) as of yet, but at least two of the following teams confirmed to make F5 will compose the F3:

 

  • the interracial couple referenced earlier in this post
  • Tyler/Laura
  • Rochelle/Mike
  • Tattooed NY Muscles in Shorts with purple-wearing and dark-haired female partner

Well!  Apparently, TAR26 is trying something very new!

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They'd have done better if they'd just pulled the names out of a hat and matched them that way.

that's what I said in the beginning.  or even some sort of task, at the start of the race, that determined the teams.    But really - the original recipe is best.  include all sorts of relationships, generations, etc.  Yes, The Bachelor is a popular show -  but this is a different show.

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.

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?
