""Ep. 13 - 4 Continents, 24 Cities, 40,000 Miles ""
This is the title for the episode going to air on Feb 8, 2005 so make spoils

2 Hour Episode.

After four Continents, 24 cities, and more than 40,000 miles (and tons of screaming matches from its prickly cast) the sixth edition of the Emmy winning reality series crowns its $1 million first-place team. "It's a geat adrenaline ruch from the beginning to end," says host Phil Keoghan of the two-hour finale. "we've been blessed with another close finish." Four teams start off in Shanghai on the penultimate leg of the race, which ends with one duo being eliminated. The remaining pairs ultimately head back to the U.S. for the final sprint to the finish line.

As per TV Guide online listing!

So that means that Ep 12 will be non-philimination. If four teams set out from Shanghai. Kinda surprised that they'd let that slip.

Tru dat, Kimmah.

The penultimate episode is always non-elimination.

The only recent change is taking four teams to the last episode, and philiminating one of them after the first hour. That began with TAR 5, and the Bowling Moms.



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

Yes and there was discussion about this elsewhere (I don't remember what topic it was under). We concluded that they changed it so that no top 3 team would have to be stripped of or beg for money on the final leg.

So, the finale will be like TAR 5. 4 teams, two legs and an elimination halfway.

With the exception of last year, they've had an elimination at the end of episode 12, thus going into the 2 hour finale with 3 teams. Half way through the finale, they have a NEL.

Last season, episode 12 was a NEL, thus going into the 2 hour finale with 4 teams. Halfway through the finale, they had an Elim where the bowling moms got sent packing.

So this year is just going to be identical to last year, but opposite of what they've done in years past.

Okay 24 cities (or towns) - what are they?

Iceland - Keflavik (clue box), Seljalandfoss (clue box), Vatnajokull (overnight stay), Vatnajokull (detour), Blue Lagoon (pitstop) - 5
Norway - Oslo (clue box), Holmenkollen (roadblock), Brandbu (overnight stay), Voss (detour) - 4
Sweden - Stockholm (clue box & pitstop), Kungens Kurva (detour), Häggvik (roadblock) - 3
Senegal - Dakar (pitstop - unless Ilse de Goree is separate), Kayar (detour), Lac Rose (roadblock) - 3
Germany - Berlin (detour and pitstop and roadblock for the next leg), Teufelsburg (roadblock) unless this place is counted as part of Berlin - 2
Hungary - Eger (detour), Budapest (clue box, detour, roadblock, pitstop) - 2
Corsica - Ajaccio (clue box), Calvi (detour), Zilia (roadblock, L'Ile Rousse (pitstop)- 4
France - Nice (clue box) 1
Ethiopia - Adis Ababa, Labiella (detour, roadblock, pitstop)- 2
Sri Lanka - Columbo, Kandy, Galle
China - Shanghai
Australia????? on the way from China to the US???? Seems too far out of the way, but a double leg gives them time to do that. But would they bother. It would appear that the thank you note from Elise that I found is red herring.

That's more than 24, so who know's.

Yep, it's four continents. The USA and N America have always been in the count, so they are Asia, Africa, Europe, N America. Australia will have to wait for next season.

For the cities, TAR has usually gone with the minimalist approach. They only took the seriously major cities, with a sizable distance between them, for the count. I think these are the 24 they mean. (This is assuming the race ends in Chicago.)

1. Chicago The starting city is usually counted.
2. Reykjavik Counting clue directions as well.
3. Vatnajokull
4. Keflavik Pitstop sign. Includes the Blue Lagoon.
5. Oslo The ski-jump is within the greater city boundaries.
6. Brandbu
7. Voss
8. Stockholm
9. Häggvik
10. Dakar Kayar and Lac Rose are too small to be considered cities.
11. Berlin Devil's Mountain is within Berlin's boundaries.
12. Budapest
13. Eger
14. Ajaccio
15. Calvi Zilia is too small to be counted as a city.
16. Ile Rousse
17. Nice
18. Addis Ababa
19. Lalibela
20. Colombo
21. Galle
22. Kandi
23. Sigiriya I usually don't argue with Pitstop signs.
24. Shanghai

Don't count Australia out just yet. We have pretty good spoiler from there thanking local film crew for help on "sixth edition" of TAR. And it is not so far out of the way. Direct flights from Shanghai to Melbourne for the first hour; then to the USA most flights from Australia would go through Hawaii, so that may account for the sighting we have of Kris and Jon on flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles. And they may not count No. America as a continent visited since the race started and ended here.

And does anyone have a good idea of where this race ends up? Are we sure it will be Chicago?

Except for TAR 1, they've all ended in a different city than the one they began in.

TAR 1 – New York to New York
TAR 2 – Las Vegas to San Francisco
TAR 3 – Miami to Seattle
TAR 4 – Los Angeles to Phoenix
TAR 5 – Santa Monica to Dallas
TAR 6 – Chicago to ?

Unless that early spoiler was dead wrong, we have a good sighting of Kris and Jon on flight from Honolulu to the United States in September. And I don't think producers would want teams to fly all that way from Shanghai to Chicago without doing some kind of tasks along the way.

19. "Foreshadowing?"
During the last episode, Mary Adam had a quote about how they would make Freddy and Kendra pay for yielding them. Given all the ranting and raving he did, I thought it was telling that the editors chose to show us this comment - they could have easily stopped showing before this point, because we'd already heard a lot of whining.

Do they finish ahead of F/K?

#28 sure looks like Hayden & Aaron arriving at the pit stop. They always do the hand holding running in unison thing when approaching the mat! They're also wearing the same clothes as in the other caps of Leg 1.

#53 is Adam & Rebecca in hawaii
#54 same clothes but almost looks like they're making the "home stretch" run! they dont' have their backpacks on either. I can't tell if they look happy or not!

My brain said Aaron & Hayden won, but gut said Adam & Rebecca. Knowing Hayden & Aaron are most likely eliminated, that leaves me with my gut!

please don't let the voting polls in Florida be true.

I'd say your right about #28 - they are running toward the pit stop but if you look at the people around them they look Asian to me.

#54 - I wish I could see the license plates on the cars to see what state this is in - However they are def wearing different clothes than in the key challenge - but same as Hawaii.

I would say your gut is doing much better than your brain (but of course - I could be wrong)

so that would seem to add creedence to the pit stop being in China and NOT after they get to Hawaii. It even looks like the back of the male country's representative is in the shot too.

Wonder if we can figure out where that is? looks like a square of some sorts...that green wall might be specific to a particular square too.

The bad thing about the shot of A/R running, is that it doesn't look like they're hurrying too much which might mean they dont' think they're gonna take the checkered flag!

28. "RE: Foreshadowing?"
I've seen discussion of both Chicago and Hawaii as the finish points. Looking closely at pics #31 & 54 don't give a clear hint but both of these pictures are of the "home stretch" run it seems to me. To try to pinpoint the location better, I think you need to examine all elements of the photos.

Two giveaways that these shots are not from China are the cars in the background - one looks like a Caddy and one is a mini-van. Others look like a VW and Toyota. Sure given the international nature of autos it could be another place but it just has the feel of an american parking lot. Next are the 2 signs in #31. They have the shape of signs seen in the US as opposed to the International type found in other countries.

Trying to pinpoint the US location better, it would have helped to have more detail in the licence plates but both Hawaii's and Illinois' have light colored backgrounds. The trees in pictures don't look tropical but more like you'd see in the lower 48. Also, in #31 the "sleepers" laying on the ground near the edge of the path are wood. That's not usual for any tropical climate - they'd deteriorate too fast. Finally, at least when I was in Hawaii in the 80's, all parked cars seemed to have some sort of screen in the window to keep the sun off of the interior. Yes, there are trees around to provide shade but it just seemed like habit to me for everyone to prop something up when they parked. None of the parked cars seem to have anything in their windows.

So is it Hawaii or someplace else? My guess is back in Chicago.

NH7058 flies from Kansai (Osaka) to Honolulu, so that's where Freddy and Kendra are. They have 25min to make their flight (1805 on clock behind), so I'm thinking it's possible.

#33 does look like the usual 'out-of-the-way-in-last-city' clue to me. Anyone know where that is?

It's not Chicago or some other major metropolitan, judging from the lack of skyscrapers in the background. I'd surmise this is in Hawaii.

I lived in Hawaii from 1999-2002. I have been to the top of Diamond Head (inactive volcano) on the main island in Hawaii - Oahu. Looks like to me that they are on the top at the observation point. About 20 min drive from the airport. A lot of traffic depending on the time of day or even weekend. It is the highest point the civilans can get to on Oahu.
I also could be wrong.

I noticed that too, Bebo. It reminded me of Chip's "Kim Time" comment and the comment he made about yielding Colin & Christie and putting them into a non-recoverable tailspin.

Also I found it interesting that they showed Kendra asking Freddy if he was comfortable with the decision to yield Mary Adam and Rebecca rather than Kris and Jon, and he said yes.

So, do we have MA/R beating F/K? Or do we have F/K beating MA/R, but losing out to K/J?

Beebs, I think it foreshadows a victory by Kris and Jon.

All the talk was about the strategy of a revenge yield vs. yielding the better team. The consensus among the players was that revenge was a poor choice.

Blend this with Phil's comment earlier this season that the finale comes down to a footrace. Add in Kendra's breathing difficulties, and the athletic skills and determination we've seen from Kris.

I think we're set up for J/K to beat F/K to the finish line when Kris outruns Kendra.

The only other outcome, in my mind, is for Rebecca to carry Adam to victory, ala Flozach. If she does that, she deserves more than a million bucks.

Maybe I'm wrong but in vidcap #31 in which we see Adam and Rebecca running presumably to the finish line, I see an elbow at the extreme right edge of the picture. Could it be another team running ahead af A/R by a small margin?

that definately looks like an arm!

Remember back on the first leg when the pit stop was Blue Lagoon. Rebecca/Adam and Kristy/Lena arrived about the same time. K/L had a headstart but A/R BLEW PAST THEM!!!!

I would think a foot race is *anyone's* game!

One thing confusing me. If it is indeed an elbow of another racer, wouldn't A/R be running harder, their legs bent higher etc?

In the 4x400m in Ethiopia, H/A were the best runners, (Hayden being the fastest of the four remaining woman) followed by K/J, A/R and F/K. Kendra was slowest but that was the day she had an upset stomach.

She's pretty slow in the head when it comes to stopping her mouth from running, as well.

Even without an upset stomach, Kendra is easily going to be the slowest of the 8 racers left in the game. She has had breathing issues that we've seen on several occasions and she's more used to chasing croissants and waiters than chasing to a pit stop.

I'm not sure Hayden is the fastest. I mean, she might be, but when she was bragging about how she blew Kris and Jon away in that episode -- It seemed that Kris and Jon got there after H/A and therefore started after them -- so naturally H/A would finish before them -- so I was thinking, how is that blowing them away? They didn't say what their times were, did they? Also, Hayden didn't run at the same time as Kendra or Rebecca, did she? So who knows how she and Aaron would measure up against these teams in a foot race to the finish. Unless I saw this wrong or editing was involved.

33. "Filming Dates"
Do we know when TAR 6 was filmed? CBS mentioned that the stop in Sri Lanka was several weeks before the tsunami. Several weeks to me is less than a month, which would put the ending sometime in early December, which would make the scenes with greenery in them an impossibility for a Chicago finish. On the other hand, if they were still filming in early December, it would mean that they were already airing episodes before the race finished, which seems unlikely.

Here are some of the things I have noticed so far in the AOL clips above:

#28 - Aaron and Hayden running up holding hands toward camera, is that Phil's head and shoulder the camera is shooting over? Sure looks like it to me. This then indeed would be the pit stop in China and Aaron anb Hayden are arriving last (me thinks)

Sequence #10, #11, #21 - Freddy and Kendra at the ticket counter in Osaka, Japan trying to get on flight to Honolulu. Freddy out of American Airlines Gate 18c in Chicago (note dark colored shirt and glasses) Freddy coming up out of subway escalator in Chicago.

#29 Kris on the street. Not China, Not Honolulu, probably Chicago.

Finally #3 - wherever we are, early in the morning the teams are bunched (can't tell whether there are four or three) waiting for gate to someplace to open. Probably the first day of the penultimate leg in China.

Agree. Why none of you talks about #29? It does not look like Hawaii, if anyone could figure out similar buildings in Chicago, it will certainly be confirmed that Chicago is the final pitstop.

Another question is that why the other two teams (F/K, A/R) are not shown running around those buildings? Is it the same way as A/R running along the street? but if the final pitstop is in Chicago (or not Hawaii), since the clothes of A/R shown when they are running is still the same as the one in Honolulu (which is unlikely that they don't change clothes), it seems that where A/R are running is Honolulu.

Gate C18a at O'Hara is a United gate, not American. (see http://www.united.com/page/article/0,1360,1113,00.html)
Not that it really makes too much difference, which airline it is, but seeing that gate number in the picture #21 does make me think that they do come back to Chicago to end up. I didn't see a gate with that number when I looked up a map of the Honolulu airport.

Does anybody recognize the character over Aaron's head in pic #32? It almost looks like the Japanese syllable "fu", but not quite what I remember. Is it Chinese? What about the characters on the seat behind Aaron and Hayden in #8. I recognize the last one as "mountain", so I am guessing this is a bus that takes them to whatever mountains were shown in the preview for their tasks there.

The character before 'shan (mountain)' in #8 is 'hua (flower)'. Consistent with Huangshan, as the tallest peak in the entire range is 'Lotus Flower Peak', or 'Lianhua Shan'.

I see nothing in #32 but a black patch! Can someone please brighten it so I can help with the Chinese/Japanese?

Thanks FreshlySqueezed!

Taken on its own, that red word means very little. It just says 'xiao (little)'. (Pun not really intended.)

However, the word on the bottom right says 'yu (jade)'. Therefore we can conclude that this is the cable car leading up to the lock challenge on the Western Steps of Huangshan. The name is 'Yuping Feng Suodao (Jade Screen Peak Cable Car)'.

'Careful' in Chinese is 'xiaoxin', so this picture should be taken from inside the carriage where they like to say things along the lines of 'mind your head'.

thanks for all your info! it really helps to have these translations.

I've been trying to figure out who might be having troubles in the roadblock. The teaser on the website says one woman struggles with a tedius but simple task to the point of tears and thinks about quitting.

My guess is Hayden or Kendra.

In the previews of the Lock/Key Roadblock, we see

Kris alone
Rebecca alone
Rebecca with Kendra
Rebecca with Hayden

There are no shots of Kris with any other racer from what i can see. My guess is Kris & Rebecca are first, then hayden & Kendra show up. Both Kendra and Hayden have problems (Kendra shouting to Freddy 'I'm going as fast as i possibly can' and Hayden breaking her key) so my guess is they take the longest to complete the Roadblock.

Has anyone identified whether it's a train or the cable car that H/A are next to when he chucks his backpack?? If it's the cable car, i can see this being *after* the roadblock where she broke her key and broke down crying. The roadblocks are usually just before the pit stop. Aaron would know they're coming in last.

that is, IF that's a cable car and not a train they're next to.

http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/41a4f96a236809ae.html

About the next pit stop. Maybe CBS is trying to make us think that it's in China because the people in that clip (#28) look like asian. So as we do not have pics of A/H in Hawaii, we all beleive they are toasted. Don't you think this is too easy?
But let's not forget that there's a "Chinatown" also in Honolulu, Hawaii. So what if...the 4 teams did some tasks in China before leaving for Hawaii where the pit stop really is. CBS may deliberately not showing us pics of A/H just to let us think they have been eliminated in China. They could easily have a roadblock & detour in Hawaii before arriving at their pit stop (#28) where one team (all guesses are good) is finally eliminated. If it's true, A/H could be in the final 3. The next morning they fly from Hawaii to their final destination in USA.
Could this be possible??

upon looking closer, i don't think that's possible.

Freddy & Kendra wear Blue (freddy) and purple (kendra) on Leg 2. We know this because we see in #23, Kendra wearing pink trying to open the locks which has been proven to be back in China. Also in #15, they're in blue & purple in an outrigger saying Aloha! Therefore Leg 1 is Black & Pink outfits and Leg 2 is blue & purple.

In screen shots #9 & #10, we have Freddy & Kendra in blue & purple (Leg 2) at the ticket counter saying they "have a sick child in Honolulu and they have to get there"

Ergo, Leg 2 has started BEFORE they go to honolulu.

When Freddy and Kendra are at the ticket counter -- Kendra is not wearing the same purple tank top that she is later seen wearing in leg 2. You can tell by looking at the picture of her in the outrigger in the purple tank top -- the backs of the shirt are different. (Compare #10 with #15) The purple tank has spaghetti straps, and the top of the shirt goes straight across her back, while the shirt at the airport has a high back that comes up around the neck.

The airport shirt also looks different from the pink tank -- so I don't know if this means she changes three times -- but it could mean when they are at the airport this is still leg one, imo.

50. "Some questions regarding screen caps..needs analysis"
LAST EDITED ON 02-05-05 AT 00:22 AM (EST)

I've started picking through the screen caps to try and figure out what happens when. Normally this'd be done over in the "clues in screen caps" thread, but this is where the caps are.

Ok, can anyone answer these for me?

Cap #14. Is Kris wearing anything? she's wearing dk.grey on Leg 2 and that isn't dark grey

#30 Who is that? Is that Jon w/ black tank/whit shorts (like in #44). So why is he in the water? Unknown task

#37 Who is that? Is it Rebecca or just filler clips like the cliff diving last week? If it is Rebecca, would this explain why Jon is wading in the water in the cap above?


Tasks...so far we have..

leg 1 Roadblock: Keys/locks. Kendra, Hayden, Kris, Rebecca
leg 1 detour: Market. Not shown what they have to do though.

leg 2 Roadblock: Skydive. Jon, Adam & Freddy
leg 3 detour: outrigger paddle or clothes shop. A/R & F/K do the outrigger, K/J do the clothes shop.

The detour *could* be something other than the outrigger paddle but they usually don't have physical tasks for non-detour/roadblock tasks.

Clothing

Freddy Kendra (Leg 1: black/pink.. Leg 2: Blue/purple)
Leg 1: KeyLock Roadblock, China

Leg 1: Cab

Leg 2: Ticket Counter, Osaka Japan (note, this means pit stop is *not* in Hawaii)

Leg 2: Outrigger Detour,Hawaii


Kris/Jon (Leg 1: dk.grey/lt.grey..Leg 2: dk grey with writing/black tank with white shorts)

Leg 1: Climbing to Lock/Key Roadblock

note same grey shirt with white shirt/red trim underneath

Leg 1: Market Detour, China

Leg 2: Shopping Detour, Hawaii

Leg 2: Skydiving Roadblock, Hawaii

Leg 2: Back in Chicago? Place with 2 tall towers. Kris is wearing dark grey again but with writing on the front.


Adam/Rebecca (Leg 1: black vest/black tank...Leg 2: black tank/lt.blue tank)

Leg 1: cab

Leg 1: Lock/Key Roadblock, China

Leg 2: Outrigger Detour, Hawaii

Hayden/Aaron (Leg 1: peach tank/dk.blue shirt)

Leg 1: Lock/Key Roadblock, China

Leg 1: Pit stop? Asian man local representative?

Leg 2: None.

I think gray shirt Kris is wearing is the same one both days, the sleeve area is unique and the same.
She must have ran out of clothes and went topless for the first half of the final leg before she decided to put it back on though.

I thought that pic #14 looked like Kris didn't have a shirt on, but hasn't she sometimes worn some kind of tube top-type thing that didn't cover her shoulders? Or was I only dreaming...

Pic #30 looks like Jon to me. They look like his shorts. Is he wearing the same blue vest that he's wearing in the skydiving pic? (#44) If so, is pic #30 after he lands from skydiving? Do they land in the water or have to run out into the water to retrieve something after they land?

I think pic #37 of the surfer girl is just scenery, just like the cliff-divers in Sri Lanka.

The picture of Freddy and Kendra telling lies at the ticket counter is in Japan, not China. (Really, would anyone think that someone with an emergency that they need to fly somewhere would have a camera crew with them??!) The writing is Japanese katakana characters for "Ho no ru ru", and Neobie pointed out in an earlier post that the flight in question is from Osaka to Honolulu.

I am wondering why they'd have gone through Osaka instead of Tokyo. It seems like if they were just passing through the country on the way to Hawaii, that Tokyo would be a more likely stopover. Maybe not, but there are probably more flights from Tokyo to HNL than there are from Osaka to HNL. Just makes me wonder what's going on.

That's strange - when I posted before frame #21 of the AOL promo was scene of Freddy and Kendra running up escalator from Chicago Subway. Now it is CU of hands working on locks. I picked out that shot to be in Chicago, and over on another board, Tanbuns has made a positive match of that entrance with pix of Chicago Subway entrances. So that is clincher that finale city is indeed Chicago. Put what happened to our frame #21??

I just checked the CBS preview video, and there is a shot right after Jon goes running into the water. It's a sunset pic of someone swinging something around his head. Looks like a ball at the end of a rope. You can't get the proper feel of it in screen caps, but here they are. I'll try and get an avi of it for you tomorrow.The 3rd pic is a superimposed shot showing him twice. one big behind the letters, one small and faint at the top. The faint version up at the top shows the ball now on his left side. He's clearly swinging it in the video.

ok, i think that the tandem jumping is with Skydive Hawaii

puddin's #60 pic of the tandem guy in purple sleeved jacket matches one of the photos on their website. (click on tandem menu and scroll to bottom for the photo of the jacket)

puddin's #44 shows a white plane with rainbow stripe along it, which is the same as their planes. (which you can see if you click on photos)

Also your #411 shot of the island matches the location of the Skydive Hawaii headquarters. (well it would match if it was rotated 180 degrees.) It's the only spot on the hawaii islands that matches the topography from what i have found so far. You can see their location on the map by clicking "map" on their website.

I could be *totally* off the mark but it's the closest thing i've found so far.

here's their website.

http://hawaiiskydiving.com/

ETA: in looking at your island photos, you can even see the start of the airstrip that matches the airstrip in several photos on their website

Yea this is skydive in hawaii. Behind the aircraft is the northen edge of the mountains. The skydive Hawaii is at an old WWII airfield the the US Army used. Dillingham Army Airfield. The military in hawaii currently still us the area between the airstrip and the mountains for training. When I was there in 99, I really dont remember that the skydive Hawaii had a DC-3 aircraft, that is shown jumping out of. I currently trying to verify this. We know that they are in hawaii due to the pictures of the tandem jumpers, jumping in Hawaiian shorts.

LAST EDITED ON 02-05-05 AT 06:05 PM (EST)

407.
I believe it's early morning.
Because the sun was rising from low to high.
It was low when the crews were on the ground.
The sun was higher when the crews shoot the parachute.
In the afternoon, it's a reverse.
The sun goes down to the horizon.

I conclude that the tandem skydiving Roadblock comes before the Detour.

Is it the Nuuanu Pali Lookout? But it's on the east coast. The air field is on the north coast.

The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is in the southern Koolau Range. From its 1200ft elevation you can have brilliant views of the windward coast. This is where Kamehameha the Great routed Oahu's warriors during his invasion of the island in 1795.
Directions: Take H1 east bound from Waikiki. Then take the Pali Highway, Route 61, via Nu'uanu Pali Drive. Follow the signs to the Lookout. Open 9am-4pm daily.

Question to ponder between commercials during the Super Bowl game on Sunday: I looks like the Roadblock in China is finding the right lock to unlock on Mount Huangshan. But what are the two Detour tasks? Are they also in the Huangshan area or in Shanghai? Where is the pit stop for this leg in Huangshan or back in Shanghai?

78. "RE: Route Marker"
There is a market involved. I believe that might be one half of the Detour. There's no other information anywhere. At the start of the previews, when the gate opens for all the teams, where is that? is that to be let in to where the gondolas are (which is the locks/roadblock) or is it something else?

I believe our only clip of the pit stop is the one of Hayden and Aaron running hand in hand in a square. The only distinguishing characteristics of that square is the low green wall. I'm sure not an aweful lot of squares/plaza's have that sort of feature. If we can find that green wall, we find the pit stop.

I'm going to tackle the green wall and see what i can come up with.

82. "banzai..."
I have a question that's just been nagging at me and was wondering if you or anyone else can help shed some light on it.

Has there EVER been a season of Amazing Race where the racers are in another city, state and/or country and are given the clue "Fly to _________ and proceed to the finish line at ________"???

Hasn't there *ALWAYS* been something they have to do first once they land? Like the maze at the stockyards in Dallas last year or the searching of the stadium seating. I've never seen anyone go from Airport directly to the finish line before.

The reason I ask this, is because the big "spoiler" of seeing Kris & Jon on the plane from hawaii to chicago is doing just that! They mentioned that the "cute young couple" had the clue to make their way to Buckingham Fountain and were asking to see which was the fastest way to get there. I know it's very specific and detailed for it *not* to be the way the spoiler person said it was...but something is nagging me big time that it's just not right!

That has never happened before, but given the amount of bunching the producers are willing to allow, I don't see why they will deliberately try to avoid it. Makes for a close (albeit potentially unfair) finish.

Season 1 John F Kennedy Intl Airport -> Vincent Daniels Square -> Flushing Meadows

Season 2 Oakland Airport -> Atkinson-Escher House -> Municipal Pier -> East Fort Baker

Season 3 Seattle Intl Airport -> Kerry Park -> International Fountain -> Lincoln Park -> Gasworks Park

Season 4 Phoenix Intl Airport -> USS Arizona Anchor -> Sun Devil Stadium -> Papago Park

Season 5 Denver Intl Airport -> Fort Worth Stockyards -> Trammel Crow Park

so in 5 seasons of NEVER going directly from Airport to Finish Line...WHY would they do that now?????

Three options

1. They're breaking with a 5 season tradition and having them go right from hawaii to Buckingham Fountain in Chicago..do not pass go.

2. The spoiler is wrong.

3. The spoiler is correct, but the "young good looking couple" is really "Hayden & Aaron" making their way to the finish line to meet the winners.

Be careful who you call a dork... SurvivorBlows.com ("Blows") is part of the same site as the RealityTVWorld.com network -- many of us here call this place "SB" or "SurvivorBlows" even though this site has branched out over the past four years to include dozens of other reality TV shows, including The Amazing Race.

When I go to other sites, if I tell them I'm from "Blows", they usually know exactly where I mean -- this site.

I think its just someone speculating/guessing based on the clues from the previews. At least that is what it looks like. A lot of the guesses are similar to things that have posted on these boards, like (1) a lot of bets have been placed on Freddy and Kendra, so they might win (2) in one of the preview pics, Adam and Rebecca seem to be approaching the finish line, but don't appear to be running as fast as they might if they were coming in first; (3) Hayden and Aaron don't seem to appear in the Hawaii pics, putting them in 4th place; and (4) by process of elimination that leaves Kris and Jon in third place. These things also could all be misdirection.

Unless its clear who posted this "spoiler," and where they got their info, I wouldn't take it as anything more than a guess. Do you know if the team rankings appeared before or after each team was eliminated? If they predicted anyone else's departure before it happened, that would lend some credibility to it. However, I would tend to think the rankings were put next to the teams as they were eliminated, based on the comments by each team. Also, I think if this has been around for a while it would have shown up here before.

Hawaii Detour:

Outrigger or Outfitter

F/K and A/R choose Outrigger, and J/K take the Outfitter detour. Outfitter is easier and less physical but could take a long time.

The mountain in the background on frame #43 may be the same as this one:

If it is, it is the West Peak of Haushan Mountain, 75 miles east of Xi'an.

Yes, it's Hua Shan. So it's not Huang Shan.
Huang Shan = Yellow Mountain
Hua Shan = Flower Mountain

Good job Gingerman38. Xi'an then. (thanks to weecama vidcap)

Xi'an also has an international airport since 9/2003.

96. "RE: Huashan"
LAST EDITED ON 02-07-05 AT 10:02 AM (EST)

OK, so everything I had is thrown out of whack. I apologize. But good job Gingerman38!

Just a few things to clarify first. That is the North Peak, not the West Peak. The captioning on the website is wrong. Also, Huashan is Chinese Mountain, not Flower Mountain.

Below is a re-analysis of the clues.

Locks
Apparently the lock on the railing thing is quite popular on holy mountains in China. Same task as we speculated on before, just on a different mountain.

Bus Seat Wording
This has me confused. The wording does indeed say 'xxx Hua Shan', but it is a different 'Hua'. (The peak is the 'Hua' meaning Chinese and the wording says 'Hua' meaning Flower.) Also, the mountains in the Huashan range do not use the word 'Shan'. They are referred to as 'Feng (Peaks)'.

Yu (Jade)
The Yuquan Si (Jade Spring Temple) is at the Main Entrance to Huashan, so this might be what it's referring to. This might then be inside a bus at a checkpoint instead of inside a cable car.

Cable Cars
A cable car serves Huashan. A minibus brings tourists from Huashan Village to the base of the cable car for Y10. The ride (round trip Y100) brings the teams up to the North Peak, where the locks are.

The signboard in the 'aftershow' previews does match up with the one that Gingerman38 posted. They are using the Traditional Chinese word for 'Hua'.

Another thought. If they're passing Xian, why is there no sign of a single terracotta soldier?
