Here's the 11/28 (episode 11) TV Guide listing:

Amazing Race
Fight to the Last Minute
60 min.
The teams race by boat, plane, taxi, rickshaw, motorcycle and foot to prevent elimination. Phil Keoghan is the host.


Since there is the mention of rickshaws, at least part of the episode has the teams remaining in Asia (which hints at confirming the speculation of Hong Kong). We know that 11/14 (tonight) has the teams racing to Thailand. 11/21, with the kayaking, climbing and diving appears to be off the coast of Thailand. The listing suggests there will be an elimination on 11/28, which therefore suggests that 11/21 is the last non-elimination episode. After 11/28, there will only be two episodes left. I find it hard to believe the producers would ignore Mexico or Central America altogether... seems like there has to be at least one area where Spanish speakers have an advantage. I think that 11/21 sees the teams competing in Thailand and ending up in Hong Kong. 11/28 sees the teams competing in Hong Kong and reaching the pit stop in the Yukon. 12/5 sees a combination of Yukon and Mexico. 12/12 sees the teams going from Mexico to Newfoundland to New York.

Maybe they skipped going to a spanish speaking country because spanish is pretty easy to work around and it's not hard to figure stuff out. Which may be why they didn't hit Italy either.

If you know some spanish you can fudge Italian.

Whereas other countries' language are aren't as easy to pick up on.

MsS, not to be a stickler, but they did go to Italy, they went to the Colosseum in Rome and drove those tiny cars and ended up at that village (Santa Mar-something) in Northern Italy. Frank even spoke Italian.

Bumpity bump bump..... cause I think this is the episode we should concentrate our analysis on!! :)

We can safely assume that the 11/21 episode will be the last non-elimination leg. I think the final four will finish pretty closely to each other with the dreaded bunching (don't ask me to predict where/how they will all bunch up). We know that Rob/Brennan, as first place finishers in 11/14 ep. have a significant lead over fourth place Guidos. I actually think that the four teams will placed exactly as the 11/14 episode (however, my track record is spotty so please don't quote me on that!) :)

My only hope is that with the TV Guide preview saying that race using many modes of transportation, the Guidos will still be cash-strapped by this episode and will finish last.

Gosh, the wait for the next episode is driving me crazy!!!!

Just reading the Zap2it preview for the 11/28 episode, it says:

"Fight To The Last Minute" -- The remaining four teams battle to make it to the final leg of the race, on THE AMAZING RACE, Wednesday, Nov. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

It's a competition by boat, plane, taxi, rickshaw, motorcycle, foot and even by mouth as teams race from one country to another. One team member overcomes an injury to gain an advantage; a seventh team is eliminated, and the final three teams are determined.


Okay OKay!! Who do you think gets injured??

Also, what do you think they mean by "even by mouth"?????

So it's almost 100% certain that tomorrow's episode will be a non-elimination round.

I hope a Guido does not get injured while rock climbing, because then it seems they will regain ground. However, it seems that the 50 year olds would be the most likely to get injured in this leg, the most physically demanding so far. I am hoping it is Margarita, so they can gain the advantage later.

"Even by mouth"? Maybe it just means they have to talk to people to get somewhere. Maybe they have to blow a toy car across some finish line for part of the tasks.???

The preview made such a big deal out of Rob scraping his hand -- maybe that's the injury they're referring to???

I hope so!

Never mind! I'm getting my weeks mixed up. The previews for TONIGHT'S episode show Rob's scraped-up fingers. So, I have no idea who gets injured in the 11/28 episode!

What about Australia??? Some Aussie's that I know online-thought they recognized someplace in Australia on the opening credits....

Judy, in a pre-series article about the show, it said the contestants travelled xxx (can't remember how many) miles over four continents. We've used up the four continents with North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, so sadly there's no room for Australia. Shame. (Of course that article could have been wrong...)

They travel 40,000 miles, and as of last week, they are up to the mid 20,000 according to the CBS site about a week ago.

New radio promo for the 11/28 AR show was on our local CBS radio station today.

"... You are not going to believe your eyes. ... The most exciting AR show to date ... A photo finish. ... "

This probably means Drew and Kevin (representing good) vs The Guido's (representing evil). No other finish means anything tonight.

I just read a summary of this week's preview, and the Guidos and Frats were shown racing in Rickshaws (in China, I think)

AAAARRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

My local CBS (WKYT-the Bluegrass, KY) is showing the UK basketball game (vs. Kent of all teams--not even an important game) instead of TAR! My only night off this week, the one thing I'm living for (bah, humbug, recap survivor!), and now I'm screwed!!!!

Sawheel, are you out there? What's up in Northern KY? This reminds me of the rain they had to preempt 2/3 of TAR for a few weeks ago....

checking local tv website....

looks like I'll get TAR at around 2:30 am
grrrrrrrrr....

We are lucky here in Boston. When one CBS affiliate goes to local programming (for what ever reason), the other CBS affiliate in Rhode Island stays with CBS network programming. But we do this with a really sensitive souped-up in-house antenna. This does not work with Cable TV. PS We live on top of a hill. We know that helps.

Mick, I know that feeling well!!! Why is it that the stations think that many people want sports over "Our Reality Shows"!!! Why not put the sports on at 2:30 in the morning. It makes sense to me. hehe. I'm hoping it's not delayed here.
