Here is the summary of the Portland RFF spoilers, taken from this link: http://forum.realityfanfo....php/topic,15356.825.html
Sorry, it is pretty long. There is a lot of info there.
First, airport sightings. Note that the time is around noon.
We'll we don't know what team lost their credentials/ critical mistake but thanks to eyewitness's in Portland Oregon, complied here we can guess what teams were seen in Portland whether they be decoys or not?
Remember Stacy? When the cast was released I asked and she replied "pretty sure it was marisa/brook and terence/sara"
From Julz.., sounds like Ken and Tina to me
I saw TAR teams today as well at PDX. I drive the international buses at PDX but not today. However, I was driving the terminal parking lot buses today and saw a camera man /sound man running after a very tan blond woman in a florescent green sporty outfit, backpack and one of those TAR clue cards (?) in her hand just about the time the Germany flight would have landed. They were getting a taxi here at PDX. I had to keep my eyes on my driving but a person in the bus said they were from The Amazing Race.
My next loop around (20 minutes later), I arrived at the terminal and saw more teams grabbing a taxi. Fortunately I was driving the Employee lot bus and one of the supervisors (who got on camera & had to sign a TAR release for TV) confirmed that the teams in fact were from TAR and got off the Lufthansa flight from Germany to Portland OR. They were headed up to Washington state. He also said there were only 4 teams and perhaps the other two teams went up via Seattle first - but that of course is purely speculation.
Here are the downtown sightings:

I was waiting to pick my boyfriend up at International arrivals around Noon today. saw a young couple, very fit and attractive and then 2 sisters
(they looked related) also young and wearing matching nike workout gear- they definitely stood out, then when a camera crew w/ tons of gear started
filming them running thru the terminal, well that's when it clicked! the A.R!! i love the show and had NO idea they might be in PDX. so, my boyfriend saw
them in customs and he thought they had come from Moscow before PDX.
Cool! can't wait to see it on TV.

i don't recognize the teams i saw from any of those pics- the couple (i am assuming that by the way- could be bro/ sis) she had dark hair, he had
dark blond hair. very fit and looked like the had just climbed a mtn.
Thanks stacy !! Were the 2 girls blond by any chance? we are missing some of the teams pictures but word is there were 2 blonds in pink.
Yes- sisters were blond!

Here are the downtown sightings:
I'm pleased to report that I saw a male-male team in downtown Portland
this evening (peach: that would be 5/14) at about 6:00 local time. A cameraman and a sound man
were following them.
I saw them head west along Alder, then south on 10th, then east on
Morrison. They asked for directions at the food carts that occupy the
parking lot north of Alder, and they looked at a metal map kiosk at
the corner of 10th and Morrison.
They looked to be mid to late 20s or even maybe early 30s. Both were
wearing khaki trousers; the taller one was slightly heavyset and had
reddish curly hair and was wearing a baseball cap and a blue T-shirt.
The other had blonde to sandy blonde hair and no hat. Both had
backpacks.
What struck me, though, was how slowly they were moving compared to my
expections. They certainly were not running. I don't know if this
means they are a decoy, or that they are real but exhausted, or that
they are real and in last place, or what.
I often buy magazines at a store on 9th & Alder, so I asked the
cashier there if I knew anything about TAR in Portland. He said, "Oh,
is that what that was?" I said, "Is that what WHAT was?" He said he
had seen a male and a female plus two-man crew also proceeding along
Alder. I asked him when that was. He said about two hours previously,
which puts it at around 4:00 p.m. I asked him if he recalled any other
details; he said he did not, except that the girl was pretty. :-/
I did not have a camera with me, but where they were is VERY central
location; and while Portland is considerably less densely occupied
than, say, LA or even Denver, I will be very surprised if no one here
managed to take a reasonable picture of at least one of the teams.

There was a clue box right in front of VooDoo donuts, I was there today. When nobody was close to coming, the producers would cover the box with a trash bag but when people were nearby, they would uncover the box and shoo anyone away that was standing near it. It was probably one of the last clues if the Pittock Mansion was the last stop.

They are in Portland today. I was on 5th and Salmon outside my office and two different sets of couples ran by (guy/girl and girl/girl) with a
camerman and soundman each. It looked too like Amazing Race not to be.
I just ran down the street in Portland following two girls and the camera crew.
The went to voodoo doughnuts (for a clue I think) Police talked to producers because fans were running after the racers.
They thought someone was running out on a meal bill... the team got into the van and drove off. I saw them about 1:55pm running North. But, I did notice they looked awfully rested, not frazzled at all....maybe decoys.

And, here is a final thought to ponder. Bertram never said that the team that doesn't make it to the final pitstop is one of the final 3 teams, he just said they were prevented from being there. Perhaps Dan and Andrew are still in the race at that point but are not really making an effort since they think they are way behind? Maybe the race did not end as early as some think.
