9. "RE: general comments & questions"
Yep, it's almost here. Well, actually the newest season of The Amazing Race won't premiere until February 15, but we can peruse the spoilers that are out and about on the web. Even though the racing teams themselves are under contract not to reveal anything, it's hard to hide the camera crews and teams as they gallop around the globe.
Since I can't really go globe-trotting physically, I roam the internet for the best and most likely to be true spoilers. Then I come back and report them to you. No, I don't have winning team kind of spoilers here. But if you want some information on possible teams and the route taken, read on.
1. One team member, rumored to be a woman, is the first deaf racer on the show. She signs, but we'll be getting subtitles. I'm thinking this might be a benefit -- if she's a bickerer, we won't have to listen! Hmm ... I think the basics of ASL might actually help out in foreign countries as signing is more demonstrative than merely shouting louder at someone who doesn't understand English. This team wears orange and was caught on camera by one of the folks posting at the Reality Fan Forum. The older gentleman with them seems to be the taxi driver. Another uncropped view of the same photo shows only the camera crew and no other teams. Auburn, eh? The woman in this team should be our deaf racer if the speculation is spot on. 2. There's a father/son team from the Los Angeles area. They should be wearing dark blue. This might be a very different kind of father and son team as the rumors have them both being gay. Now, there's no way I can actually verify this information, but this team appears to be Mel White (used to ghostwrite for Jerry Falwell) and his son, Mike White. The son's name might not ring a bell with you, but amongst other things, he wrote The School of Rock which was a pretty big Jack Black hit a few years back. He's vegan which doesn't always work too well on this show. 3. Another team was also snagged on camera in Phuket (Note: Link was removed at the request of the photo's copyright holder - Joel) as they tried to get their rickshaw through the streets. Alas, the cameraman is blocking one of the racers. But it looks like a female team and it doesn't look like they're having an easy time of it. 4. It used to be that this show filmed over a thirty-day period. Last season, it was a bit shorter. This season, it seems shorter still. The time-line for the race has the teams going from October 31 until November 22. That would make it a 23 day race. The Futon Critic has the season capping at a mere 11 episodes (ending May 3). Since the speculation on the internet is running with the thought of either 11 or 12 teams, I would think that would mean no non-Philimination legs. Hey, maybe a double-Philimination? 5. Other team spoilers include: an African-American female team, an older Caucasian couple, a rather typical blond beauties (possibly sisters, possibly Southwest Airline attendants) team, and a male little people team. Yeah, I said little people team, not a single like Charla. That team was reportedly sighted at Romania and Thailand and last spotted on the flight to Phuket which would indicate that they made it to the final four. Of course, they could be just short and not really little. The reports I've been reading seem to vary. 6. Destination spoilers: The teams leave from California, most likely San Diego (although there is a bit of a dispute that they may have gone from LAX). The first destination is Locarno, Switzerland. Leg two has them going via train from Locarno to Interlaken. Leg three heads off to Salzburg with the fourth leg in Bucharest and then Brasov. The fifth leg in in Transylvania and then the sightings stopped for a few legs. In leg eight, they fly from Bangkok to Phuket. Then it's from Guilin (China) to Beijing and it all ends in Hawaii. 7. Various bits with Phil Keoghan have revealed that the teams will be in the cold of Siberia. So, those non-sightings were probably the legs from Russia. They probably don't get too many tourists out there in the bitter weather just hanging around trying to stalk The Amazing Race. theamazingracefan.com

It's not a woman... it's 22-year-old Luke Adams, a Rochester Institute of Technology alum (they have a Deaf college at RIT), who is the deaf racer and he's racing with his mother, Margaret. It's interesting to note that at age 18, Luke met Christy Smith (Survivor Amazon) and was inspired by her words of wisdom, so it seems to have served him well to get onto TAR.

5. "RE: Spoiler information" |
I am most excited to watch team 2: Mel White and his son, Mike. From a friend on MySpace,: "From Soul Force Web Page: "We are thrilled to announce that our founder, the Rev. Dr. Mel White, will compete in the 14th addition of the CBS program, The Amazing Race!" I am friends with Mel and will try to see what I can find out. He is gonna be interesting to watch. I think people are gonna have issues with him, though. He's gay & Christian. One of my faves of him is this video: How can I be sure God loves me, to?

Just wanted to note that this has been very accurate so far: take out a confused ID here and there, and it pinned down a lot of the teams before the official reveal. I think we have to start taking the leg predictions seriously.

9. "Phil wants us to know..." |
LAST EDITED ON 02-13-09 AT 04:34 PM (EST)A few bits from the Entertainment Weekly article (which ranked the premiere as an A-): 1. Our first leg goes to Switzerland and features team members carrying cheese wheels down a hill. 50lb cheese wheels. On their backs. 2. At some point during the Race, Mel White suffers a groin pull. 3. Steve & Linda yell a lot. And cry a lot. And then might yell some more. 4. There's more split-screening this year to show where teams are in relation to each other. 5. We're spending a lot less camera time at the airport. 6. Romania will have Racers doing gymnastics in appropriate costumes. (Phil's comment, borrowed from Robin Williams, 'Let's just say you could tell what religion they are.') 7. Luke does not read lips. 8. Episode #2 features pies being thrown in Racer faces. Of all the tasks to have kept out of TAR-Stars... 9. After a very brutal leg, two teams screamed at each other at the mat for a full forty-five minutes...

Of course, if you love gymnastics, I hope you're not disappointed because I doubt that the racers will do anything that resembles real gymnastics! But still, I love the idea of having them do sports in authentic outfits. Loved the wrestling challenge last race!

13. "MAJOR Finale Spoiler (don't read if you don't want to know)" |
So I eventually gave up at remaining unspoiled and went out searching, and found this gem:Jamie/Cara and Margie/Luke were spotted on a flight from Beijing to Tokyo, transiting to Honolulu. This would put them in the final three... Tammy and Victor were also spotted at the Tokyo airport, traveling in tandem with Phil and the executive producer, leading to speculation that they were "racing" as decoys and were eliminated in 4th or 5th place. Maybe they get u-turned? More detailed account http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?topic=17788.msg385232

The reverse could also be true, and Tammy/Victor just happened to get seats right next to Phil/execproducer..... remember, he pratically has to race along with the teams to get from Pit Stop to Pit Stop..... especially when they're a plane filght away.

23. "RE: MAJOR Finale Spoiler (don't read if you don't want to know)" |
It never made sense to me why, when there are two or more teams that arrive at a clue box at the same time they fight over it like kindergardners. The clue is almost always a task that has to be completed and reading the clue 5 seconds ahead of another team isn't going to give anyone an advantage. I guess it's the 'heat of the race' excuse, but they've all seen the previous seasons (except apparently M&M) so you would think they would pick up on that and be a bit more polite at the clue boxes. Unless of course your mom still treats you like a kindergardner, and she's there on the race with you so she can prove that a deaf person can do anything a hearing person can do, except for the things she has to do for him.

25. "RE: MAJOR Finale Spoiler (don't read if you don't want to know)" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-13-09 AT 08:21 PM (EST)Yeah, their only real chance is if Jamie/Cara got lost. I mean, what's the likelihood of Mark/Michael (a below-average team this season) beating all three teams AND doing a Speed Bump. Not likely. And since it seems Jaime/Cara are going to make F3 (the editing wants us to root against them too), Mark and Michael are done. I tend to believe the Tammy/Victor spoiler about them missing the F3. We've only had one U-Turn this year, and they're the biggest targets right now, followed by Margie & Luke. Wouldn't be surprised if it were Kisha/Jen who finish 4th, though. They haven't gotten enough focus to be getting a "winner" edit. Whereas I could see Tammy/Victor winning.

31. "Final Three Revealed?" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-28-09 AT 07:26 PM (EST)http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,17788.msg392676.html#msg392676 So, I was pretty sure that Tammy/Victor were doomed after that spoiler that they were seen at the airport with Phil and the producers, but after seeing these pics I think it will be curtains for Kisha and Jen instead. It looks very much like Kisha/Jen, Mark/Mike, Mel/Mike and Christie/Jodi were running as decoy teams in Hawaii. I'm still leaning towards a surprise Cara and Jaime win, but Tammy/Victor or Margie/Luke could just as easily pull it off.

Yep, you certainly could fool people into thinking that you're in a serious race for a million dollars while wearing sandals (see Mike on the right side of the picture). Sheesh.
