Had to do it - producer gave an interview (I google spoilers here is what's out there...)


The race takes 23 days, covers nearly 40,000 miles, spans five continents, and features some far-flung locales never before seen on the show, including Angkor Wat, Cambodia and La Paz, Bolivia.

• The youngest team is a tandem of two guys in their early 20s. “They’re made for television,” Van Munster says. “They’re supersmart — and they make terrible mistakes.” A pair of recent divorcees in their late 20s also vie for the million-dollar prize. “They were left with some financial debt, so they really have a motive to run around the world,” he says. And once again, expect a serving of granola — this time with a husband-wife squad of 60-something Oregon hippies. “They’re the real thing,” says Van Munster. “They come right out of the '60s. To a lot of people, it looks almost like they’re from a different planet.”


• As for the challenges, “We’ve really outdone ourselves in the department of outrageousness,” Van Munster declares. “We have a situation in Bolivia where we have the [contestants] go down a cobblestone hill on very, very primitive bikes, and it’s just the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen in your life. It’s a truly bone-jarring experience.” (Another must-see detour: A by-train-or-by-bus scavenger hunt in Moscow. )

• One familiar thing actually did happen on this race: The producers didn’t predict the winner. Says Van Munster, “We’ve been wrong every time, across the board.”

•Starting at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the 13th season of the Emmy-winning reality competition (premiering Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. EDT) will follow the teams as they travel over 30,000 miles in 23 days to countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Russia, India and Kazakhstan. It's the first time the series visited the landlocked country lampooned by Sacha Baron Cohen in "Borat."

•"We shot most of that episode in the capital," said executive producer Bertram van Munster. "People were a little afraid we were going to pull a 'Borat' on them. I told them we weren't doing 'Borat,' but what happened there is very, very funny. It's not easy to shoot in places like that because they practically have no television industry."

•Van Munster, who is currently scouting locations in Asia for the 14th season, promised the 13th season will include a series of firsts for the reality competition, including a mistake that ultimately prohibited one team from joining their fellow racers at the finish line, as well as a memorable first-ever stop for "The Amazing Race" in Cambodia.

•"The teams have no idea how to get from Point A to Point B there," said van Munster. "They don't know the language. It's very difficult to get through this country. They get so stuck, but they find so many fascinating solutions of how to get through everything. One of the things the teams do there is go to a real-life floating village. It's insane."

*…I recall 10 teams.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q-Can you recall if the teams were bunched or did they come 1 team at a time?
A-one team at a time, but some teams had hard job to find the key (solving the phrase) and were bunched.

Q-Can you recall which make of team was first? Which make of team was last?
A-I remember the first and the last. The first was an old couple and the last was a brown married couple and they had a hard job to find it, the woman waited beside me and the man was looking for the key. I thought he would give up.

Q-Did the teams have a hard time with the phrase? or did any teams speak Portuguese?
heheh...It was so difficult to understand,,no one spoke Portuguese correct, but I understood...

Teams may have done tasks at Port of Cascades Locks? (the website links to other places for this clue)

so based on the gathering of those spoilers they have put together this list (It does NOT include a final 4 - just sightings, mostly final 7 or 6 - I've put it in spoiler box in case its just TMI) I just re looked, and one couple is in a F-4 one couple is in a F3 if you click - again, who knows for sure? But if you follow the link above - go to the Reality Fan forum page, and you can click on each of these couples to go to where they got this info...)

There's a rumor that the "mistake that keeps one team from joining the others at the finish line" team is Kelly/Christy- and the reason is that one of them ends up in the hospital with a broken arm and is prohibited from flying..

People with broken arms fly all the time, but maybe she missed the plane getting her arm set or maybe she was sedated for pain or something.

I do think it would be hard to finish the race with a broken arm with all the physical stuff they have to do in the challenges.

It didn't look like Starr was headed for the hospital and they sure didn't tease us about her arm for next week.

Also as far as joining at the finish line, except for the final three teams, the others have been back home and could break an arm there as well.

LOL.. maybe Christy or Kelly got jealous of attention paid to Starr and went out and REALLY broke an arm? I'm wondering if Dallas and Starr get friendly and that is why C/K are snarking at Dallas next week, as seen in previews?

Also with just a little bit of reading there, it sounds like Ken and Tina did the right thing taking the FF because:


quote:

*Phil Keoghan flew out in the early hours of the next day (possibly 3rd of May) - 5am ish.
*Flights leaving that early in the morning are usually just flying to Australia
*Some airport security staff saw the rest of the team fly out in dribs and drabs on the "3rd of May", with the last team around 7pm ish that eveningleaving ."
*"they left during the course of the day from around 12:30pm onwards - most took Emirates flights (of which there are 3 daily departures each day - all of which go thru Australia. One to Melbourne then Dubai, One to Sydney then Singapore, One to Brisbane, Bangkok. There was still one team here around 7pm waiting to fly out."




So they were spread out in leaving for Australia.. but hard to say if that held up for flights on to Cambodia from the second flights. Still if they were spread out from 12:30 onwards and a team was still there at 7:30pm, then it would seem that the earlier teams would have SOME advantage.
