Yes there were. The one clip with them all together running up a hill...where was it? Could anyone tell?

Cost me the lead in the Casino game.

And made out dear Nutz look, well, nuts. I also couldn't figure out how they were going to F it up.

I for one am thrilled. I loves me some Romber and I'm glad they were in every episode, even if they don't win.

But my condolences to Slicey and the rest of the Anti-Romber contingent.

Lots of spoilers are inaccurate and this week we had several different theories going in the vidcap thread, so it was just a matter of which theory to believe more. When AyaK vouched for the Romber one, I totally believed it too.

Hey, don't you still have the lead in the Anti-Eliminee? You have been rocking at the games. And you can make it up next week!

Yeah, so long as I pick the winner, I win the AE game.

I have never done even half decent in these games, so it's a big shock.

ETR: sigpic

Wooohooooooo

Yay!
HAHAhahahahhahahahaahahahahaha!

Well this explains why Gretch was still so bitter over R & A in her Blog.

borrow the Cooper?

YAY!

Does Gretch really have a Blog going somewhere? I looked for it and can't find it If so could U please please tell me where I can find it. Thanks so much! Of all the teams this season they are my 3rd favorite

Heather

Welcome Toy!
Yes, Gretchen did have a Blog where she was posting her insights about the Race after each episode. I was only able to read a few pages of it, and meant to go back, but it dissapeared. I've checked the link many times in the last 2 weeks, but it's gone.
Sorry.
Hope you stick around the forums and enjoy the rest of the show with us, it's a fun place.

1) As the person who posted the entire MBR "spoiler" over here and defended it, I'm glad to see that it was wrong. One of the reasons that I stopped spoiling was that there were so many leaks that I felt like I was competing against a stacked deck. Today, the deck was unstacked a little. And kudos to all of you who ignored me and picked Team Zombie to go.

Maybe the Filipino paper spilled something after all -- even though that would be a serious breach of journalistic ethics in the US.

2) Rob was entirely correct in his decision to yield Ron & Kelly. If there was one team that I would be afraid of if I were Team DAW (Romber) and didn't know the betting spoiler, it would be Team Loser (R/K). The goal is to win, and the only way to win is to build a lead on the teams that are the biggest threats. Remember Team Guido -- ending up a full day behind in TAR1?

3) Now I have to deal with the original rumor: that Romber finishes third. I wonder how it happens. A sprint to the finish after everyone gets on the same plane to the pit stop, as in TAR2 (which doomed Blaige)? Seems most likely.

So do M/G get eliminated?

Yes, M&G are gone, eliminated tonights episode.

Now I have to deal with the original rumor: that Romber finishes third.

Speaking of, maybe we should revisit this. What's the source and is there any back-up to legitimize it? You specifically say rumor as opposed to spoiler. Because if a well-respected spoiler can be dead wrong, it's hard to imagine putting a bunch of stock into a rumor.

Your post today made me very sad, AyaK, because I know when someone has sure information it is almost always correct, and if you were vouching for the info it had to be from someone who was correct in the past.
I am still holding out a little hope that the third place rumor is also incorrect. ( just a little)

I'm one of those that enjoys the speclation and clue type spoiling more then the inside info. More fun.

I thank you! This weeks episode was a happy surprise for me.

Me too, I much prefer trying to figure out the locatons and the tasks from the vidcaps and things, then watching it unfold as the episode airs.

>I am still holding out a little hope that the third
>place rumor is also incorrect. (just a little)

I'll (kinda) tell you the source of that rumor, so that you can make your own judgment. It came from someone who gave us advance info about the Romber wedding (in our news article, we sourced the info to a story in Amber's local paper, but that wasn't our only source). The person was correct about the wedding, but that doesn't mean that he or she will be correct about the finish.

Thanks AK!
I am going to choose to take the rumor with a big pinch of salt, because I don't want it to be correct. * HaHa*
But I am glad that some of the 'inside sources' spoilers haven't panned out.

The AK , he nice

Ayak,

The way Philippine newspapers work, especially in the entertainment sections is that they place articles and press releases provided for them by talent agencies, record companies and most especially televisions stations. This placement is akin to a print ad so there is some monetary exchange for this article placement.

It is rare (even nonexistent) for entertainment sections in newspapers here to write original articles. The article we saw in the Philippine paper was provided for by AXN-Asia, a cable channel located in Singapore. Maybe it was released a week early or mistakenly by an AXN staffer but it was only published because AXN provided it. Please don't cast any aspersions on the ethics of that paper. Just trying to shed a light on it.

Hi Ayak, this is in addition to the response of jbounce!

2 stations broadcast TAR here in the Philippines. One local station broadcasts it live at 9am Wednesday, and AXN-Asia shows it at 8pm. Last week, watchin the replay of the previous episode, they had a merch plugs for TAR7 saying that today would be a 2-HOUR SEASON FINALE, so they may have gotten some serious signals crossed and released the results prematurely to the Asian publications in which they advertise.

I myself skipped work this mornign waiting for a 2-hour ride and was confused when they started showing scenes for next week. I wasn't able to read the article re supposed spoiler outcome. (Jbounce, which publication and when did this come out?)

Dirob,
Musta bro?
It came out in the Philippine Star either last Saturday or Ssunday.

Yupyup! My friend from the Star told me about it lang now!

I was in Bora this weekend kasi dude so no newspapers for me! heh heh heh!

welcome to the boards, bro it's pretty fun in here. i couldn't participate before cuz i was tapped to shoot the Palawan stuff in TAR5 so now lang i was able to post stuff here!

ok, gotta go back to work...poootah!

jbounce and dirob, I thank you for the insights on Philippine newspapers.

In the US, a newspaper would always alter a press release at least a little before running it, and press releases for reality-competition shows are delayed until two to three days before they air.

On the scenes from next week, it looked like Amber took a tumble on a pallet sort of thing, slipping forward. Then a couple scenes later, Rob was piggy backing her. Is it possible she hurt herself enough to make them finish third?

I was thinking the same thing.

It could be that Amber was hurt enough to slow them down or require medical attention to put them way behind. Plus, I belive that the next roadblocks Amber has to perform and this "injury" could cause them to fall behind as well.

This would also be the reason why Romber finish third and kind of ties everything in a nice little bow.

Romber finished third???

that makes me sooo sad

There is a rumor that they finish third.

Which Filipino paper is this? I don't recall reading anything here...is it a Filipino publication printed and distributed in the States?

It was 10AM and a big whoop went out when Rob and Amber stepped on the mat in London! We all must be evil people to love the 2 so much!

The paper is published and distributed in the Philippines.

You can find a copy of the article in this discussion thread.

Hiya Buggah!

Posted something at the discussion board you pointed me out to! I know the editor of the Entertainment section of that paper and she explained a little bit. You might wanna read it!

it's almost lunchtime and i want a celebratory drink for today's Romber win and my sides still hurt from laughing so much that they won ANOTHER prize! (i could see it coming and holding my breath!) i can see all the conspiracy theoritst going up in arms and starting a riot out a CBS! LOL!

The entire episode, I was trying to figure out what they could have done to lose. Since there was no penalty (and if there is we will see it next week and maybe they'll start later?) tonight, and I don't see where there could be.

I guess MBR got some bad info. Could his source have set him up delibertaely? In any case, it ended up being off the mark. At least I don't have to hang my head in shame b/c of my NYPost theory! Until next week at least!

That Philipine paper was right on, maybe they are not as strict in other countries? Maybe people don't care as much or since it was in English--geared more to US travelers and workers? Who knows!

It's anyones race from this point--the previews didn't give any concrete hints that I could pick up on.
