I noticed that too..but I was thinking that he meant WILL for that leg only. I don't know.

I also noticed that and I thought he was, at the time, talking about all the legs and so I also wondered if there are no non-elimination rounds.

He said that there were 8 elimination legs this race, and that the team to finish last on those legs would be eliminated. I know that doesn't give us a clue about how many non-elim legs there are but I'm hoping that means there are some.

Yeah, I caught that too about "will" be eliminated. I also noticed that every season they tell us how many non-elim legs there are and this season Phil said nothing about non-elim legs.

I thought he said that there were eleven legs, and eight were elimination. Then there is the final leg, so that should leave two non-elimination legs. Also, in the past I have heard him use both "will" and "may" be eliminated, with "will" being used more in the early legs where it's pretty obvious there will be an elimination, and "may" being used later to throw off the audience as to which leg will be non-elimination.

Yes, he's quite often said "will" in the first leg, I've noticed it before. Like Merry said, Phil said eleven legs and eight eliminations so either there will be two non-elims or a double episode where there's one of those not-quite-pit-stop pit stops.

Okay, thanks. I swear I didn't hear anything about there being non-elim legs this season.

They didn't say it directly, they just said how many elims there would be, and as that's more than the number of legs he said, there have to be some mechanism for teams getting through to two legs without being eliminated. They might not call it a non-elimination leg this season, but that's what it has to be in some form.

I didn't hear Phil say "eleven" legs, just "a number of legs" and "eight of these Pit Stops are elimination points". However, there's also a map from CBS that spoils the Pit Stop locations: link. There are eleven Pit Stops before the finish line, which implies 12 legs (ie. three non-elims or double legs).

I thought he said 11 legs, so I ran it back and he said there were 11 teams and that there would be 8 elimination legs. Phil has often said "will be elliminated" and sometimes he says "may be elimintated". I always listen for that and then can anticipate if it might be a non-elimination leg.
