Here is the information from the blog of the Watcher columnist in The Orange County Register: ‘Amazing Race’ spoilers - for the brave only November 2nd, 2007 · posted by The Watcher Eager to get a jump on the competition in you office pool for “The Amazing Race”? Just like to nose around? The Watcher summarizes the state of the spoiling for season 12, which begins at 8 p.m. Sunday on CBS. To get the latest, click through to the rest of this article. Don’t go if you don’t want to know … SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS **** **** **** THERE’S STILL TIME TO TURN BACK **** **** **** **** Details on the outcome of “The Amazing Race” seem a little hard to come by this season. There were only two confirmed sightings - so far - during filming, which took place in July. Here’s the likely route the teams took: Starting line: the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles Ireland Amsterdam, Netherlands Burkina Faso Florence, Italy Dubrovnik, Croatia: Here’s where the first sighting came. Local team Nathan & Jennifer was spotted here, along with the Goths, Azaria & Hendekia, Nicolas & Donald, Ronald & Cristina and two other teams. Lithuania India Osaka, Japan Taipei, Taiwan: This is the second sighting. The identifications are very uncertain, but point to Nathan & Jennifer, Ronald & Cristina and either TK & Rachel or Lorena & Jason as among the team still in the running. Girdwood, Alaska Finish line - still uncertain. I’m sure more will surface in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

And if you are curious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkina_Faso Burkina Faso was formerly Republic of Upper Volta..
quote:Burkina Faso, also known by its short-form name Burkina, is a landlocked nation in West Africa. It is surrounded by six countries: Mali to the north, Niger to the east, Benin to the south east, Togo and Ghana to the south, and Côte d'Ivoire to the south west. Formerly called the Republic of Upper Volta, it was renamed on August 4, 1984, by President Thomas Sankara to mean "the land of upright people" in Moré and Dioula, the major native languages of the country. Literally, "Burkina" may be translated, "men of integrity," from the Moré language, and "Faso" means "father's house" in Dioula. Independence from France came in 1960. Governmental instability during the 1970s and 1980s was followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Several hundred thousand farm workers migrate south every year to Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana in search of paid labour. The inhabitants of Burkina Faso are known as Burkinabé (pronounced [burːkiˈːnaːbae]).

... Sorry to hear that Nathan and Jennifer are seen further along, if they are the fighting couple. I was so wishing they would be last.

I feel the same way. I'm happy to know Chris and Ron are still in and can only hope that the "uncertain" means Nathan and Jennifer could be gone, but it doesn't seem hopeful. So far, I hope the bandanna team is TK and Rachel rather than Lorena and Jason, but that's just how I felt between them for one episode. And I suppose that lets out Kynt/Vyxsen, the grandfather/grandson, the sibling first place team from ep 1 and the ministers, too bad. On a good note, hopefully the blonde female team goes real soon. Nathan and Jennifer's treatment of the Donkey AND her need to refer to Kynt and Vyxsen as "freaks" made me feel embarrassed that one of them has a connection to my town.

next episode will feature a new twist...the Yield is gone. In it's place is the "U-Turn". Apparently, the team that uses the U-Turn can pick any team behind them. That team is forced to do BOTH Detour options, not just one.

la de da de dah... Well that would obviously slow a team down more than the one-hour wait time for the yield. Now the yield won't look so bad!!!

Good information about the U-turn! That should be an interesting twist indeed!

That would explain why someone is ready to spit nails at another team on next week's episode. Being as a lot of teams have been able to overcome the Yield and at least one has gone on to win the race, I don't know how a team can overcome doing both detours.

I think a lot of the doing of detours depends on the team's focus! Look at the difference in the times of milking the camels on the last show - milkers got through much faster than squealers/moaners! I know the BQ's of the last two races were not universal favorites, but I had a TON of respect for their cando attitude for all the detours -

Whoa! That would REALLY suck.. I can see why someone would be furious.. but that's the rule.. TNT.. I think it was more like the people who got the camels who weren't nursing, thus not producing much milk, then pissed off the camels and got kicked, which certainly increased their whining.. But doing BOTH options, focussed or not, could be fatal, especially if the team imposing this penalty is far back in the pack, which is typical.. the leaders don't feel the need to use these devices quite so much. I'm sad that it seems the blondes will use it.. NOT saying they shouldn't but I really don't like the xenophobic pair. I'm tired of hearing them moan about lack of manicures and grooming and dissing people and countries.

I for sure don't like the blondes in this race for all the reasons you have mentioned! However, I LOVED the BQ's in both their races for the very lack of those things -

Oh for sure.. I wasn't wild about them, but, so far, this pair is not likeable IMO and I also think they are playing a role they THINK is cute, mentioning makeup and such .. earth to team, hardly anyone cares! But their mean and unfeeling comments seal it for me. I just would have liked the sisters to still be around and the blondes to be back home with full grooming, ya know?

You know, this might be the first part of an uber-leg, to mitigate the U-Turn a little (because wasn't the Yield almost always in a NEL? and since they're not having NEL's this season..)

llllllllll Well now we know that Jason and Lorena were NOT amongthe ones spotted in Taipei and I have to admit I HOPE Nathan and Jennifer were not in that group as well, but I suppose maybe they were. And no uber-leg. I understand that the U turn is simply part of the game, but I guess I prefer more straightforward racing and good teams winning instead of scheming.

Ok just posting some spoiler type, but probably not enough info... I k now I'm lost - just putting what's out there in an easy for me to find place... So next week doesn't look like Croatia. Either Italy or Lithuania, and I'm betting Italy. The big question we need to figure out this week: do Nathan/Jennifer get eliminated, or are we in for a TBC and there are actually 7 teams in Croatia? As much as I don't want them to go, I think Nate/Jenn are gone next week and leg 6 will be the Croatia leg. There is still a chance that the next team out is the blonds... ( I mean, there are no pitcures). And there is also the chance that there are 7 teams (also unlikely since there were only six boats). Maybe it was the TOP 5 that were seen in croatia. Because I remember when amazing race 10 started they had 12 teams and someone spoiled that there were 13 vehicles. So if there were 6 boats... couldn't the one be an extra in case something happened? And if there WAS a sixth team, I think it was Nat/Jen, because there are reports of them being seen in Thailand and talking about some asian team that was far behind them, and also in Alaska (RFF) right he person who spotted the teams in Croatia also said that there WAS a F/F team that was NOT Kynt/Vyxsin. The only hope Nathan and Jenn have, not to be eliminated, is that Lithuania->Croatia is a TBC leg and they were already ahead in Croatia, thus explaining why there were only six boats left. Or it could also be that Croatia->Italy is an extended leg. Needless to say, Shana and Jennifer make it to Croatia. There is no boot list. Period. Jenn/Nate may or may not be the next ones gone, but after that there is absolutely no reliable spoilers on how the teams do.

The report I had seeming to indicate SEVEN teams in Croatia, makes no sense.. 7 will go to Italy, but unless it is a to be continued.. continued in Croatia, there wouldn't be 7 teams seen in Croatia.. Reader, more info on the six boats?? I feel like I'm missing an important post from somewhere.. And I'd love to see the blondes disappear and also Nate/Jennifer, local, who cares?

I must say I didn't feel such caution over anyone added since I've been here. And I can't point to anyone on the list and say "danger" either but..

Not much difference..
quote:‘The Amazing Race’: The midseason report December 7th, 2007 · posted by The Watcher The 12th season of “The Amazing Race” has been relatively free of leaks about the outcome - at least compared with the totally spoiled All-Stars edition. Nonetheless, we’ve put together a brief recap of what little is known about the second half of the season. To read it, click through to the rest of this article. Season 12 - filmed in a remarkably short 21 days - will feature 11 episodes total. Sunday night’s will be episode six. There are no Non-Elimination Legs this season. If there are eight eliminations before the finale, that means two episodes will be “To Be Continued” - that is, the racers will reach what they think is a Pit Stop, only to be told to keep racing. Assuming the next-to-last leg will be one of the Continueds, the other ought to be somewhere in the middle, probably this episode or the next. Here’s where we’re headed the rest of the season, or so it seems. Episode 6 (Sunday): Dubrovnik, Croatia. This was the episode well photographed and thoroughly documented pre-season at the website Reality Fan Forum. Even so, some of the “spoilers” about the episode already have turned out to be incorrect. We know from previews that Nate & Jen and Azaria & Hendekia do poorly on this leg. The preview text at CBS.com says, “‘It’s “the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae that’s already melted’ according to one Team, when Phil gives them some news at the Pit Stop.” News that they must keep racing? Episode 7 (Dec. 23): Italy (probably Florence). The Racers take a short hop west - one of the reasons I think Dubrovnik might be a Continuation point. TV Guide gives the title of the episode as “This if Forever, Now,” with this episode description: “The teams travel to Italy, and stress takes a toll on one duo; and another pair consider making a permanent change to their bodies to further their position in the race.” Sounds like someone may have to get a tattoo to complete a Fast Forward. There wouldn’t be a Fast Forward without a genuine Pit Stop. Episode 8 (Dec. 30): India (probably). Previews from the season include shots of India. Episode 9 (Jan. 6): Taiwan (probably). The second pre-season spoiler at Reality Fan Forum comes from a poster who claims to have seen two teams in Taipei. The descriptions are vague but seem to fit Nate & Jennifer and TK & Rachel. The poster implies that Ronald & Christina are eliminated by this point. The spoiler has been met with skepticism in some circles. Episode 10 (date uncertain): Japan (probably). Previews from the season include shots of Osaka. Episode 11 (date uncertain): The finale. The location of the finish line hasn’t surfaced yet. According to reports from the producers and repoted sightings, the teams go through Alaska. Does it end there or continue onto the Lower 48 somewhere? A poster on IMDb.com claims to have seen Nicolas & Donald in Anchorage. Take that with a grain of salt. As we said, not much to go on yet. We’ll update throughout the season as more evidence surfaces. Stumble it! This entry was posted on Friday, December 7th, 2007 at 10:50 pm and is filed under The Watcher, TV: Reality shows.

I'm absolutely thrilled at the lack of spoilers this season!! I love that some higher power is depriving me of the links that I *just*can't*stop*myself*from*clicking*on*. Awesome.

I agree, but I can't stop from going to his blog when he emails. LOL at least he learned his lesson and isn't broadcasting TAR spoilers under an email for Survivor.. I'm sure I'm not the only one to complain about that.

well, I caved a little.....and I wish I didn't actually...here we go... -There's still another new twist to this race called a "Speed Bump". No word on when that is or what in entails... -Rumors are Ron/Christina are out next, and unfortunately, like it seems to be with all the popular, likeable teams- The Goths are out in 4th place. -And the big thing, and I must say this is UNCONFIRMED, but the source of this is known to be pretty accurate (they were the originator of the list of boots for All-Stars, which turned out to be 100% right).....Nate/Jennifer win. So the "Why don't you let us be first?" comment they made to A/H seems to be foreshadowing- I wouldn't be surprised at all if the ONLY leg they end up winning is the one that counts-the last one.

lalalalalalalalalalala Dang, I was really hoping that this season would've been one of those "Wow, my favourite team actually won!!" seasons. Can I ask where you heard this, Wilson? Do you have a link? I don't check many spoiler boards, except here... I'd love to read some other forums and see the facts for myself...
