LAST EDITED ON 03-21-11 AT 03:10 PM (EST)I haven't been spending much time here lately (too busy with work!), but I remember OFG's comment that there was no real spoiling going on here.
That's just because we've all become too lazy to spoil any longer.
In fact, TAR 18 has been fairly thoroughly spoiled on the Reality Fan Forum site. Everything for the first three episodes has panned out so far. As far as I know, that was done without any tips from Russell Hantz, either.

Without further ado, here's what seems to be ahead. DON"T READ ON UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW!:
Ep.4: to Lijiang, China, Kent/Vyxsyn last, but it's an NEL
Ep.5: to Kunming, China. Jaime/Cara elim. World celebrates.
Ep.6: to Kolkata (Calcutta), India. Safe: Gary/Mallory, Jet/Cord, LaKisha/Jen, Flight Time/Big Easy.
Ep.7: to Varanasi, India.
Ep.8: to Wien (Vienna), Austria.
Ep.9: to Zermatt, Switzerland (thru Liechtenstein). Seen during this leg: FT/BE; LaKisha/Jen, Jet/Cord. At most 6 teams left.
Ep.10:Zermatt.
Ep.11: to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Ep.12: to Pigeon Key, Florida (thru Sao Paolo and Miami) -- FINALE. It looks like the spoilers found the decoy teams arriving. The site claims that the spoilers saw 9 of the 11 teams, but there are no pictures of Gary/Mallory, Margie/Luke or Zev/justin, for whatever that's worth.
If anyone has more actual spoiler info to add, please add it to this thread.
**CORRECTION 3/21**
Jet?Cord and Flight Time/Big Easy were seen during Ep. 8, not Ep. 9. LaKisha and Jen were seen during both Ep, 8 and Ep. 9. They are the only team that the spoilers are certain reached Ep. 9.
