Here's a spoiler about the route for Amazing Race X which is filming now - and also a mention of one contestant and the fate of some teams. DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON"T WANT TO KNOW:

The Amazing Race 10 spotted around the world; Miss America contestant is a cast member

While CBS tries to distract people with a roaming RV advertising The Amazing Race 10, the actual race was being spotted around the world. (If locations, tasks, and types of teams constitute spoilers, stop reading now or risk ruining your entire day and having to eat a pint of ice cream just to get over your disappointment.)

First, Kandice Pelletier, last year’s Miss New York and a former Rockette, is a member of one of the teams. getting its start in Seattle on May 27 in Gas Works Park, the place where The Amazing Race 3 concluded.

In Mauritius on June 12, five teams were spotted doing a detour on the beach, and one show fan managed to record a brief video of the first two teams arriving at the clue box. At that point, two all-female teams were spotted.

Teams of racers were also seen in Kuwait back in early June. A few days later, on June 16, the race visited Finland, including the Olympic stadium in Helsinki and the city of Ylöjärvi.

TARFlies Times forum participants have compiled all of the reported locations into one master list to try to map out the route; here’s a simplified, non-qualified version of their list:

1. Seattle to Beijing, China
2. Beijing to Ulan Bator, Mongolia
3. Ulan Bator to Christchurch, New Zealand
4. Christchurch to Singapore
5. Singapore to Kuwait
6. Kuwait to Mombasa, Kenya
7. Mombasa to Mauritius
8. Mauritius to Parnu, Estonia
9. Parnu to Turku, Finland
10. Turku to ?
11. ? to Barcelona, Spain
12. Barcelona to finish}

So it doesn't seem that the rumor we heard that this was an All-Stars is true???

When would they be finishing the race? I'm not that far from Seattle. I'd love to watch!

Careful what you say, Auntiemike... I've read Jan's spoiler so I'm not spoiled... but some others might be...

< A good post when you made it Karen, and what triggered me to put these posts in a spoiler thread, so that now your comment is not a concern for others. Thank you :-):-) - Jan >

rumored final 3?

According to the rumors, the final three are the Miss America team, a team of male models, and a "dorky" Asian team (belived to be male/female, but not confirmed)

I moved all of these posts into an Amazing Race spoiler thread (which I should have done in the first place but my brain wasn't working well that day !!)

Now we don't have to worry about spoiler tags so i have removed them - since everything in here is a spoiler. If people don't want to be spoiled, they should NOT be in this thread :-):-)

From Kristin's chat on Monday:


how about Amazing Race?

There was a small gathering this weekend, where I got some good info from the show producers and Phil Keoghan. While the show is normally eastbound, this season they'll kick things off in Asia and then head west. They're visiting countries they've never been to like communist China, Mongolia and Kuwait. Also, the cast looks really interesting this time around. They've included their first Islamic team (best friends from Cleveland, Ohio), their first Indian-American team (married), their first amputee, former cocaptains of the University of Sourth Carolina cheerleading squad and the reigning Miss California and Miss New York. They also revealed that an all-star edition of Amazing Race may not be too far away. Phil said they think about possible teams to include and make all-star fantasy lists in their head all the time! Let's just hope Victoria and Jonathan are not on their minds.

I would love an all-star edition, assuming Victoria and Jonathan aren't on it. I only had problems with the Family Edition because that had "train wreck" written all over it and there was no possibility of them traveling to really great countries with children involved.

I am also assuming TAR doesn't consider the Weavers to be all-star material.

Boston Rob & Amber were the biggest rating draw.

ugh, shudder...not for me. i almost didn't watch when they were on. i only really got into it when they were finally eliminated. what a waste of a space which an unknown team could have taken. i'd rather watch the weavers again than anything with romber!

hard to believe they'd send the teams to kuwait!

then you weren't really into it, since they went to the final 3, the final show. I don't consider it a waste of space, they played the game well.

Well, shoot...I live in Seattle area and had no clue they started TAR X here....never heard a word around locally. I would have been so in the mix if I knew.

I saw a commercial today for TAR--it will be on Sunday nights this fall after 60 Minutes, presumably when BB ends in that time slot. Yippee!!!

Ugh. I would hate to watch Rob and Amber in another show. After three shows each, plsu their famed marriage, certainly they've had enough?

i beg to differ about not being into it until the last episode with romber. i wasn't "really" into it, until i knew they were toast. i have been completely into TAR since the first episode, first series. i only missed one episode in all the years it has been on due to a malfunction of a vcr! romber ruined a lot of their series for me. i was only really happy once they were gone. they were definitely a waste of space, same as any other attention-grabbing duo who compete in multiple reality shows. i believe rob epitomized rob when he passed up the accident scene.

there are thousands of people who apply for shows and why should someone who already had their chance get another exposure? it seems there is a very small group where contestants are taken from, i.e., victoria and jonathan on 'fear factor'. all-star shows (which i really don't care for) notwithstanding, they should use 'unknowns' for all other shows. JMHO, of course!

Weren't Romber in Amazing Race 7 all the way up to and including the last episode? I thought they came in third. I think it would be hard to get into the show after they were eliminated, since it was then over.

Ugh, a reality based on them, with a move to Vegas and Rob trying to be a Professional Poker Player, are they kidding us with this? LOL

AR is such a great show, I watched IN SPITE of Romber and Alison/Donnie being contestants.

I think the majority of people watch the show because it is such a great show, and I don't think the likes of Romber/Alison/Donnie had any bearing on the show's popularity.

Romber was 2nd place on the show if I remember it correctly, so apparently whomever didn't like them didn't watch the entire season. Wasn't that the year Joyce and Uchenna won?

I actually enjoyed them on TAR more than on Survivor. They were very competitive and although somewhat coldblooded I think they caught more than their fair share of flack over the accident footage because of who they were. It wasn't like they drove by the accident right after it happened and there was nobody there...several other teams had already stopped when they came upon it. What were they supposed to do?

What I think other reality people bring to the show is a new audience. I started watching TAR because I had heard it mentioned many times by other people on other shows, and because Alison was going to be on it. I wanted to see if she was as much of a train wreck on it as she was on BB (and she lived down to my expectations). Since then I have been totally hooked on TAR.

So the casting of Alison worked as far as I am concerned.

I LOVED Rob and Amber on TAR. Perhaps its bc I don't watch Survivor, but even so, I was expecting to hate them on TAR bc everywhere that I read things about them, everyone hated them.

But I liked them bc they were GREAT racers. They both worked their asses off on the race, and treated each other with respect. That's why I liked them, and others like Kris and Jon, etc. They were great teammates!
