Vidcaps of Commercial #4 (?) from Early Show showing the Supremes

Confused on the canal:

Stuck in a rut:

Shouting "Why won't this thing move?"

Red herring of Team Supreme? OR Number finally up.

If both teammates have to do the nasty task is that the detour? Find the clue in the dung or sort eels? How is either of them faster? And how on earth would one be more advantageous? YUCK!!! Or is this just a "means" to a clue and there is a different task for detour and RB?

Except for some running, I don't see anything that is so physically demanding that Team ATC may be okay here.

The Models have bickered back/forth since the start, I doubt this would cause them to be eliminated.

The earliest non elim's started at Ep. 6; maybe they bump it up a bit early?

Who would be most inclined to do the FF here? We can already eliminated NFL, Models, ATC. Considering placement alone, J/K could use it since they are second to last now. Even R/C and Best Friends could use it being in the middle of the pack although standings from end of last episode doesn't mean squat in this race as we all know

I also think it is a red herring for the supremes

As for the detour, the clue box is in front of Amsterdam's maritime museum.
The eel sorting seems to be on that large ship right next to the museum (which would make it difficult yet fast, the location of the cow manure must be farther (easier, well to a certain extent, but slow).

In the case of the FF, Kelly&Jon are most likely out since they are shown digging in the manure...the teams not shown attempting the detour are Monica&Sheree, Tian&Jaree and Reichen&Chip; the first two have already taken their FF which leaves Chipn'Dale as the only possible team taking the FF.

The windmill spinning may possibly be the Roadblock, as opposed to the FF, but I am pretty sure it is the FF the way the commercial is worded to say "someone". The fact that CBS would tell us that someone will in fact take the FF (and let us deduce who that may be) leads me to believe that this episode will in fact be a non-elimination. Not only is this an attempt to stir things up (I'm still surprised with the whole roadblock before the detour from last week) but I also believe they really want all the teams to be there the following week for India, making that elimination that much more exciting.

I don't think we can say that Reichen and Chip are the only possible choice for the FF, given that twice already this season, teams have taken the FF after performing one of the tasks. I do agree that someone is going to take the FF, and I think it is quite likely that this week will be a non-elimination, and that eight teams arrive in India (remember the Kerala spoiler--eight elephants, seven used, so either seven arrive, or more likely eight arrive and one takes that FF).

good point...this seems to be a new trend of going for the FF at the last minute...

"Someone on a windmill" might very well be Phil, attempting to endear himself by giving one of his speeches in a sassy and unpredictable way.

That is Al's arm. Watching frame by frame you find a frame with half his face in it.
