"RaceyGirl's Pictures Thread "
Let’s consolidate - instead of having multiple threads, from now and on, I think it is most prudent to post everything related the U/J in Porto Rico pictures to right here? I don't want to miss a thing on this picture spoiler, well with how much fun the M/G London picture was!

So in the interest of order I'm starting this thread here and hoping that it gains traction. Thanks. (Racygirl since you are new I don't mean to be stepping on your toes by this or anything it's just a matter of order, I hope you understand. Thanks)

3. "Comparison to San Juan Airport"
Here is the San Juan Airport terminal:

Here is a detail of departure level:

The amount of light shining in the background of raceygirl's pick leads me to believe her picture was taken in near the left edge of the second pic above with her camera pointing to the right.


This enlargement shows a window and low wall under the awning like structure:

I think that window and low wall is visible in raceygirl's pic:

5. "RE: Comparison to San Juan Airport"
IceCat, I agree with your assessment.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell what the readerboards say? I don't have a good program to blow them up. That could help us perhaps get an idea of where they are heading?

I definitely don't think this one is a hoax though - so now I'm wondering if puddin's info as posted on the reality boards is correct?

The plot definitely thickens!

8. "RE: Comparison to San Juan Airport"
WOW...IceCat you have got it right on....I was waiting to check my luggage at the counter to the farthest left which is exactly where they pulled up. I can tell you that the other people that appeared to be Amazing Race teams were at the American Airlines counter once I got into the airport. I didn't see which counter U/J went to. I did see a male/female team getting interviewed in the airport - which with the teams left makes means it was Ron and Kelly or another sneaky move on Amazing Race...unfortunately, we weren't quite bold enough to snap a picture during the interview & I don't have that great of a mental picture from then, but they were a white male/female couple with dark hair. But, I'm IMPRESSED with your perfect airport analysis.

13. "RE: Comparison to San Juan Airport"
it seems to me that uchenna and joyce have no backpacks and one of them is carrying a baggie similar to the one M/G got after they were stripped of their possessions. do you think this means they were last in a NEL as well? that would be interesting.

of course, they could just be running somewhere and leaving their bags behind for that itty-bit of time.

Someone named about that at Sucks claims they recognize the airport as the one in Puerto Rico.

10. "RE: New Picture - What do you think?"
Here is another picture I took - obviously not as good as the U/J pic I got - but looking back - is the guy in blue here Ron? This was taken in the San Juan airport too on 12/18/04 right before I saw the male/female couple interviewed. I know one of you has the episodes saved - I know I have seen Ron in a blue long-sleeve shirt before - any comment on the figure or shoes? I can't tell if it's him or silly camera people.

11. "RE: New Picture - What do you think?"
This is great stuff! It's not necessarily on of the teams I was hoping for in the Final 3, but this and the betting spoiler make it pretty obvious: U/J win the Race. I didn't anticipate it happening, but I'm still kind of bummed Gretchen and Meredith weren't seen. They've really grown on me. RaceyGirl, did you by chance see an older couple? As for the newest pic, I don't believe it's Ron, but I could easily be mistaken. It's just that the pack looks too small and the rumor goes that they quit in a few episodes. It's also likely that Kelly would be somewhere remotely near Ron. But then again, you never know.

I know! After yesterday's episode how can you not love Gretchen? Unfortunately, I did not spot any older teams arriving or inside the airport in San Juan. Of course, they could have been well ahead, or behind, the teams I saw. ;)

14. "I think it's Ron"
To start here is a cropped/enlarged version of raceygirl's pic with detailed looks at hair and shoes:

Here are some pics of Ron from the CBS website for comparison:

Ron Digging

Shoes look like a match and the pants have zip away legs and could be the shorts in raceygirl's photo.

Ron Crouched

Still looking good on the shoes.

Back of Ron's Head

Note rounded squareback military cut is starting to get shaggy looking. Good match for raceygirl's photo.

I'd have to say that it's Ron... 95% sure.

15. "RE: I think it's Ron"
I agree on the analysis and comparison, Icey, and concur that is likely Ron... the only thing sticking out at me is the backpack. If that IS Ron, then they had a NEL where they lost everything, then got a smaller backpack to put in things they've picked up since then.

16. "RE: I think it's Ron"
Definitely a different backpack. Here's a pic of Ron and Kelly from this week's "Insider" videos:

Both backpacks have wide black straps, but the straps on the pack in Raceygirl's pic #2 appear to be narrow and grey.

I'd bet that they did lose everything in a NEL at some point.

The socks and shoes are a good match to Ron.

18. "Backpack"
Most teams pair down to a 'smaller version of their stuff' (nod to George Carlin). As a military man, I would expect that Ron has anticipated this swith to a lighter 'fighting order of kit' and has included smaller back packs folded into the bottom of the larger packs.

I do this sort of thing myself when I travel on longer trips so that I can make a day bag for overnight trips away from my main base of operations.

32. "RE: Backpack"
My hiking backpack, which I got for a trip to Europe that involved a bit of backpacking, had a smaller backpack that zipped right on/off of the larger pack. It was intended for daytrips/carryon luggage. Since Uchenna and Joyce also are just carrying a smaller bag(although I agree theirs looks more like the result of a NEL since it's just a shopping bag), perhaps they were simply required to check their luggage?

24. "RE: I think it's Ron"
Awesome job again IceCat!! I also wanted to note that the team that arrived before U/J arrived about 10 minutes, give or take a couple minutes, before U/J - not a big difference (I was still waiting to check my bags, which is why I missed where U/J went in the airport). U/J didn't check anything - what they had in the pic is all they had when they jumped out of the SUV - and I don't think they or the other team went back to the SUVs because as soon as they parked them at the curb they jumped out and went into the airport - then some Amazing Race staff got in the SUVs and went and parked them somewhere. Nice, valet on the Amazing Race

31. "look at the shoulders"
I THINK it might be Ron -- I look at the picture of him kneeling in the sand and it looks like he might have a smaller backpack on even in that picture. You can JUST barely see the top of the pack and you can see how the straps "dig" into his shoulders and the straps look like the ones in the top photo of him standing in teh airport.

>Here is another picture I took obviously not as good as the U/J pic I got - but looking back is the guy in blue here Ron? This was taken in the San Juan airport too on 12/18/04 right before I saw the male/female couple interviewed.

Hope this doesn't sound too confusing but if this picture was taken just before you saw a male/female couple being interviewed, does this mean the couple being interviewed were not Ron/Kelly? If so, that could only leave Rob/Amber and Meredith/Gretchen. It should be easy to distinguish between young with dark hair or older with gray? Do you remember how many total teams you saw?

Hello! I saw two teams...one I now know is U/J. The other I definately believe now to have been R/K. There was a team that arrived while I was in line that I missed in the excitement - they were the team ahead of U/J. So, I could have missed a team altogether, or that team could have been R/K who I saw inside the airport later. Also a Survivor fan, I would have noticed R/A FOR SURE And, I did not see any older teams. Fun, Fun!

So you can account for two teams, but know there were three, and so we know now that the third HAS to be R/A or M/G, and you do not think it was either? I wish you had seen them

I am going to stick to my belief/delusion of Rob and Amber. They have played the game well.
Good job on the pics btw. I would have been so into all the running around I may have forgotten I had a camera.

Ok our three NE teams are probably R/K, U/J and M/G. We think from these pics that U/J and R/K are 2 of the last 3 teams right? Any clues as to who the third team is - didnt the first spoiler say something about 1 team being way behind - who were the other teams - one was R/K the other???

19. "RE: Our three NE teams "
I'm really bad at searching threads and too lazy to sift through all of the ones we've had, but I remember early on in the season that there was a spoiler that said there was "a couple" and a team with "two guys" (who looked like twins) spotted in NY. I can't remember if there was a decription of the 3rd team.

I think if it wasn't disproven, that Brian & Greg could be the other team, but again I don't know where to begin to look for the thread.

Can anybody help out?

The only problem with that "couple" wording is that five of the final six teams are couples, the only exception being Brian/Greg.

I think the picture of u/j is accurate because of the cameraman. The one of Ron? I don't know. Could the show send eliminated contestants on a search in order to get their consolation prize? They would have the appearance of racing, with clue boxes, etc., but they are the only ones hunting. This would be a way to fool spoilers??

I'm sorry, I should have said "male-female" team, this would exclude Lynn & Alex.

Plus, if the photo above is Ron (which I'm pretty sure of), then that would be (at least one) male-female (couple) team.

What was that thing you were saying about the twins and C/M in Singapore? I never heard that one. Also, at first I was skeptical of that photo, but the shoes and the socks and pants all look right. I wonder where Kelly is though? If this is right, the CBS Background Spoiler is no longer legit. (U/J and R/K together in the Final 3) Also that rumor about R/K breaking down at some point doesn't seem likely. But who am I to say? Right now I'm rooting for Meredith and Gretchen, but I don't think they'll be around much longer. So, then I'll root for U/J because they donated clothes and money to M/G and I thought that was nice.

30. "Explanation"
Somone else can probably give more information than me, but from what I can recall . . .

In TAR5, Kami & Karli and Alison & Donnie were spotted racing with rickshaws in the Phillipines. Charla & Mirna were also spotted at a hotel in the same location. That lead to some speculation that they were part of the final five/four. However, as you all well know, that was not the case. Apparently, after a team loses, they are flown off to sequesterville.

Sequesterville usually is a location in the latter stages of the race. When the final five/four teams arrive at the location, Bertram and company send out the other teams as decoys. That's why pretty much all the teams were spotted in the location. Thankfully, we had the excellent Australian/New Zealand airport spoiler, which eventually allowed us to figure out the final four.

This process is then repeated in the final city, where eliminated teams are sent along the racecourse path before and after the real final three. Decoys of course make our job much tougher. Even if a team is spotted at a certain location along the race doesn't necessarily mean they are still in it. So, Uchenna/Joyce and Ron/Kelly could possibly be decoys, although with all the other evidence out there, I'm quite confident of this spoiler.

And it's far more likely that someone would be used as a "decoy" on a task than in an airport, so if that is Ron in the pics, I'd say he's still in the race at that point.

...And great visual analysis, IceCat! This is why I love our Spoiling section!

Is it possible that Uchenna and Joyce finish last in the final non-elimination leg? It's likely that eventually the non-eliminated teams would try to find/buy some sort of travel bag to carry around, instead of those plastic bags. Of course, maybe they'll just try to save the money...

Their non-elimination might still be "fresh," so to speak.

29. "RE: RaceyGirl's Pictures Thread "
Just because U/J and R/K were spotted with some great photos in Puerto Rico, it doesn't necessarily mean they each made the final 3. There could still be 4 teams racing in Puerto Rico and everyone is going from Puerto Rico to another place for the final pitstop where the 4th place team is eliminated. Then the remaining 3 teams head back to the USA to the finish line. That would allow the background theory to remain a possible spoiler for the rest of the show

I have a problem with a Puerto Rico sighting. The race started in LA and if they go to Puerto Rico that would mean they do more than a race around the world. A finish anywhere in the US makes sense but not travelling to the caribeans and then back to the continent.
Furthermore, being already down to 6 teams and not having travelled to Europe or Asia yet, they wouldn't have time for a leg in the Caribeans, would they?

I still would not be surprised if they take an elliptical path and go through Turkey and London. (Per the opening stills) That would mean from London the go to Caribbean. If they do go by way of the normal around the world path, then it may just a very long long flight from East Asia to Caribbean (or I also think I read somewhere that they may stop in Canada first). Those pictures look real to me and I have little doubt that they stopped in that airport on this race for some purpose.

One of the spoilers early in the race was about someone who saw a team dressed in light blue on a flight from Puerto Rico to Miami on the 18th. I'm not sure where the siler came from but you can find a copy at Sucks. It was widely speculated that this time was Ron and Kelly which fits with these photos if that is Ron. I think the photos are real too.

It's not Rob - I would have known Rob from Survivor and I would have been all over that ;)

Also, I have been reading lots about TAR teams heading to Miami after San Juan - I can tell you they took AA flights out of San Juan for sure - and that I was also on an AA flight out of San Juan to Miami 12/18/04 AMERICAN AIRLINES flight 1350 SJU MIA 1,045 miles (from my statement) - they weren't there. I'm sure there were other AA flights between SJ and MI that day though.

Anyway, I really think there's no chance that was Rob and I and my friend missed it

44. "RE: Response about Rob and Info about Miami Destination"
I was very sceptical about a leg in Puerto-Rico mainly because after 6 episodes they hadn't travelled to Europe or Asia yet. Seeing as how they skipped Europe and because of the new rule for the non-elimination legs, I may have to change my opinion.
Having to give away all your clothes except the ones you are wearing will prevent any NEL from happening before they have to travel from a hot climate to a cold one. We had reports of sightings in Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax at the start of the season but it would be impossible to ask contestants to go to Montreal in december (average temp of maybe 45°F)with only a t-shirt.
They already did South America, Australia would be possible but besides the Southern US or Mexico, crossing the Pacific to go to the Caribbeans may be what happens.

wouldn't it be funny if it was just some random and he came on the board and said, "hey ya'll, that ain't ron. that's me and i'm just a nobody."

The pants are too baggy to be Rob's and he doesn't have any kind of bag that would have a strap from shoulder to hip like that (he's too macho for that. ).

And you'd think that if Ron was there in the same area as Rob, he'd tag along like a lost puppy behind Rob instead of asking someone for help...

Ooooh! Pepe, this could be a huge clue! You are right, if Romber was there someone would be hanging around to see what they are doing.

~Romber could be in the top 3 and just not be in the airport at the same time.

~The 2 teams could have cut ties by this point in the race.

~Romber could have been eliminated by then.

OR... it could be something completely different.

anyway, in the insider videos of R/K after they were stripped you can see ron's blue sweater (which you can't really see while he's strorming the fortress) that's in RaceyGirl's picture.

i hate to see R/K make it to the puerto rico leg, but whatever.

Sorry...I couldn't figure out how to post my cropped & sharpened image of the sound guy & Ron picture.

55. "Let's discuss the backpacks"
In Racygirl's Puerto Rico Airport photo, Uchenna has no backpack, but he is carrying a plastic bag.
Previous speculation was that Joyce & Uchenna finish last in a Non-Elimination Leg and were forced to carry their stuff in bags, ala Meredith & Gretched.

Ron was seen with a different backpack. Now we know that Ron & Kelly did finish last in a NEL and were forced to give up their backpacks. This is Ron's replacement backpack.

There are two broadcasts remaining: May 3 and May 10.
We know that May 3 will have an elimination, because the press release for May 10 says there are three teams remaining. We can be fairly certain that J&U and R&K are among these final three teams.

Here's my question: Are Uchenna and Joyce victims of a NEL in the first half of the final episode, forcing them to switch to plastic bags? Or have they realized they are one plane ride away from the finish line, and dropped their backpacks to lighten the load?

Personally, I think we are done with non-elimination pit stops. Uchenna & Joyce have begun an all-out sprint to the finish line, and nothing in that backpack was worth a million bucks.

Refresh my memory... how was it handled in the past when we had a two-hour finale and no elimination in the first part of the show?

I haven't had my morning coffee kick in yet, but I recall that TAR 5 and TAR 6 both had an elimination in the first hour of the show (Linda/Karen and Hayden/Aaron), but there wasn't one in TAR 3 or TAR 4? I didn't see the first two seasons. Was there a non-elim pitstop at any point or did the teams just keep going from the previous episode's pitstop to finish line in a two-hour marathon?

Uchenna and Joyce strike me as a resourceful and smart team, so it makes sense they just decided to dispense with their packs or had them shipped home in advance from London.

Prior to TAR 5, there were always 3 teams in the 2 hour finale. There was no penalty other than being in 3rd to begin the final leg. It was always a double leg with a pitstop at the end of the first hour.

In TAR 5, they introduced the "come in last, lose all your money rule." This was the first season that we saw 4 teams in the 2 hour finale. The 4th place team was then eliminated in the first hour. Same for TAR 6.

This season, I bet they are introducing another new "twist" here. The finale will still be a double leg, but at the first hour pitstop the last place team will lose all their money and their gear.

I was already kind of figuring out what was going to happen in this season's finale here --> CBS Finale Press Release thread

I am kind of hung up on this conundrum as well. It is obvious that this picture was 1) taken after Joyce had to shave her hair and 2) they are definitely carrying plastic bags and NO little black race bag. The only reason that I can come up with on why they do not have the race bag would be elimination. Does anyone know if last night Phil said this is the last non-elimination pit stop? One of my friends swears she heard him say that last night.

There have always been four non-eliminations, if you count the two-part legs as one elimination and one non-elimination. So far we have had three. If it were eliminations from now on, there would only be two teams racing to the finish line.

I think Uchenna/Joyce come in last the second leg from now (after London).

2) pitstop in santiago, chile (M/H eliminated)
3) pitstop in mendoza, argentina (D/B eliminated)
4) pitstop in buenos aires, argentina (S/P eliminated)
5a) pitstop in soweto, south africa (NEL - M/G) *****
5b) pitstop in gabarone, botswana (R/D eliminated)
6) pitstop in gabarone, botswana (B/G eliminated)
7) non-pitstop in lucknow, india (pseudo-NEL - M/G) *****
8) pitstop in jodhpur, india (L/A eliminated)
9) pitstop in istanbul, turkey (NEL - R/K) *****

the stars indicate the three non-elimination pitstops, right? so there's an elimination in the next episode and possibly a two-hour leg (overnight on a beach somewhere like the first leg?) for the final.

I don't believe that U/J dump their bags or ship them home. If they did that, wouldn't they at least keep their smaller Amazing Race bag? I mean they wouldn't resort to trash bags. Those are probably harder to carry around.

As reported, the press release says

THE AMAZING RACE 7 FINALE -- And then there were three. The final three teams race to the finish line during a special two-hour finale. Phil Keoghan hosts.

Maybe it's just the editor in me, but that doesn't necessarily say "only three teams start the episode". What it says to me is that "only three teams finish the episode". And that would be the case even if four teams started the episode.

does this mean they start with only three teams?
which means, the next episode is an elimination one.

the question is...who will be the one to go?

64. "RE: The Press Release"
no... devious meant that there could still be a possibility that first part of two hour FINALE all 4 teams would be there.

Ok. Let me get this straight. According to Tikigirlie, Phil said there are 8 elimination out of 11 legs in Ep.1

So according to CBS leaderboard:

There had been 8 legs.( It seems to me that the NEL M/G and R/D elimination counts as a leg.)

There were 7 eliminations.

Since we are assuming that Ep.12 and Finish would count as a leg, that would mean Ep.10 and Ep.11 would be counted as a leg each. Which would make a total of 11 legs as stated.

Since Phil said in the Ep.1 that only 8 eliminations, therefore it comes down to three scenarios..

Scenario 1:

Ep.10 elimination-(M/G), Ep.11-NEL, Ep.12+Finish-FINALE. First part NEL or combined one extra long leg.


Scenario 2:

Ep.10-NEL, Ep.11-NEL, Ep.12+Finish-First part M/G eliminated.

Scenario 3:

Ep.10-NEL, Ep.11-Elimination (M/G), Ep12+Finish-FINALE. First part NEL or combined one extra long leg.


Way I see it, Scenario 2 would be most likely, since producers want the team to run the final leg on fair terms, so no teams can be disadvantaged (or advantaged) by a NEL.

phil says, "teams must now search the interior of this fortress and find this scenic overlook of the bosphorus. this is the ninth pitstop in a race around the world."

phil also clearly stated that there were going to be eleven pitstops and that eight legs would be elimination. i think on the CBS website, they count M/G NEL and R/D EL as one episode but as two separate and distinct legs. therefore, there have been nine legs (nine legs - nine pitstops, including the pseudo-pitstop in lucknow, india).

i don't REALLY know what that means, but after remembering what phil said in ep. 1 and what he said on tuesday, i believe the may 3 episode will be elimination and the may 10 finale will be an extended leg with only one pitstop (and maybe bunching in the middle somewhere?).

I truly believe that a NEL means that a team looses all their money and belongings. So we should forget about "To be continued" legs.
That been said, I would say:

1-NEL: M/G
2-NEL: R/K
3-NEL:U/J (probably next week)

Last episode: 2 hours with the 8th elimination in the first hour. Probably M/G.

My predictions:
1st: U/J (don't know how they pass R/A)
2nd: R/A (my favorite teams no matter what people thinks; true, he said a few bad things but they race very very well)
3rd: R/K (Kelly shoud not even be there...)

Jims and I had the summary for episode one and I wrote the first part where Phil explains the race. Phil said that these teams would be racing around the world where 8 legs will be elimination. He never mentioned the number of total legs. You can go to the link and the first paragraph on page 2 will have the explanation.

Edited because obviously there will be 8 eliminations not non-eliminations.

76. "RE: Time of Photos?"
Why of course!

I took the picture I posted of U/J at 9:05am EST. I took the picture of Ron (and the other mystery figure in red that some now think is Rob) at 9:40am EST. Puerto Rico isn't EST - they are an hour ahead or after - I don't remember - but I didn't change the settings on my camera from EST, so there you go!

To those who discuss U/J not having packs because they are going back to get them or already checked them - they pulled up, got out just as they are pictured, and went into the airport. Some other Amazing Race staff people got into the SUV and took it away, like they did the first. So, there's no going back to get anything out of the SUV, and there was no checking bags between pulling up and my picture. Alas, I got the pic as I waited in the never-ending line to check my bags to head to Miami!

Also, as a side note to those who think the guy in red is Rob - if it is - that means that I snatched pics of R/A, R/K, and U/J within 30 minutes of each other. So, they are close!!! Also, it means I am bummed I might have missed Rob and Amber, which while I still think unlikely - I guess is possible being that he had no cameraman, no Amber, and no pack with him. But I agree that those clothes are awfully coincidental!

Big Smiles, ~MY~

77. "RE: Time of Photos?"
wow. This is interesting new information. Clap for the guy/gal who asked the question abt the time.

This will mean that U/J had taken 2nd position and R/K being in third position. Due to the 35 mins difference.

Also Raceygirl mentioned that "..Some other Amazing Race staff people got into the SUV and took it away, like they did the first. So, there's no going back to get anything out of the SUV, and there was no checking bags between pulling up and my picture.."

This means that the SUV was taken away almost immediately, so there is no guessing on how far or close Romber are from U/J.

But I have one question Raceygirl, how EXACTLY did you know U/J were the second team to arrive? If U saw the first SUV pull up, what time was it roughly?

sorry i had to do a second post.

I just had a thought. If U/J are at the airport at 9.05 a.m, and R/K at 9.35 am, and we are assuming that they arrive at the airport at the start of the final leg, then we can safely say that the teams finish the Jamaican leg at night.

For eg, if U/J finish the leg at 8.00 pm in Jamaican leg, Romber possibly finish abt 6.30 pm. Romber would probably reach the airport by 7.30 a.m. Does it look like bunching of teams here?

(Spidey and supsandalee both asked this evening.)

The first SUV I saw got there about 10 minutes before U/J got there in their SUV (9:05am EST). So, I don't know if that means U/J are currently in second or third. The SUV that I missed could have been there after the two I saw, or before. However, as I was in line forever, I would say unless they pulled up to a different entrance, that third SUV got there at least 20 minutes before the first I saw, or at least 20 minutes after U/J. Geez, might need to read that one again.

Hi Raceygirl, We are thankful for your lucky day. I am the one who was asking about the rain (not a serious detective, just obsessively curious about this show).

Is there any way that it could have been raining there? Because the weather history for San Juan is showing rain on December 18th. Link: (sorry, I can't get the tags to work)

Maybe it rained later? I came from the port in San Juan to the airport in San Juan that day - it didn't rain in any of those places between anytime that morning and when my flight left that afternoon. Hope this helps with whatever theory you've got working

I agree. It was a lot of fun to see it all come together -- the black SUV's she described, realizing that it was Rob and Amber that arrived in the first car that she didn't see, and U and J that arrived shortly thereafter - and realizing that if Ron's picture was taken at 10:40, and a flight left at 11:15 and U and J weren't on that flight (acc to other spoilers) -- that they must have made the flight with R/A. It was just fun to watch it all come together.

This was definitely the spoiler of the year and I'm really glad to see it come through. Great job, RaceyGirl, and thanks for sharing with all of us here!

And RaceyGirl... I hope I didn't scare you off too much with my first comments to you way back then -- I'm sure you know by now that there was a charlatan who created an elaborate hoax with a claim that he took a picture of Meredith in London, and your comment/picture came up only a few days after that hoax, so understandably, a lot of seasoned spoilers here were rather wary of any new "claims" of seeing a contestant. I'm glad we didn't chase you off and am impressed you stuck it out to prove your case.
