Reports also indicate that the Goths probably finished in second place on that leg, only a few minutes behind the first place finishers. What reports? |

Is Chateau always right with his shadows, though? I remember in All Stars episode 1, Romber were supposed to be at least an hour or so behind several teams
during the roadblock. That, of course, was wrong.

I would say that nothing is perfect--but he has a great track record, beyond a "shadow" of a doubt!
sorry--but I could NOT resist!

Not that anyone actually cares, but I wrote a TAR fanfic a year ago with a goth girl team in it. They finished 4th after being yielded by their closest allies
on the penultimate leg, so I hope it doesn't happen here as well.

Ugg, why do they feel the need to have an alpha male team? Didn't they learn their lesson with James and Tyler?

What makes you think that there is an alpha male team?

they just waste the spot of one potential entertaining team and they just dominate the freaking race. But anyway, still eagerly anticipating TAR12.

One of the links on the front page mentioned an alpha male team sighted in an airport.

I'm not sure which one you're referring to.

Hmmmm, I can't figure out where I saw that- maybe I'm crazy.

More confirmation of the Burkina Faso stuff:
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12521.100.html ------------------------------------------------------------------
Our biggest news of interest is that it appears that the Amazing Race teams and crew were
on our plane from Paris to Burkina.
We have no clue what they could find interesting to do in Burkina but we noticed the flight was very full and it turns out that there were 40-50 people on the plane associated with the production. We were sitting in Paris waiting to board and we kept seeing guys with really big video cameras, running up and then turning around to get video of two people coming towards them. We talked with a couple of people who said that they couldn't say who they were with but they didn't deny it either. There is a chance that we are in the background of several shots at the Paris airport or on the plane. Also, the SIM missionary from Ouaga who met us at the airport was definitely on camera giving directions to a team (Tim? & Don) who we had met and helped on the plane. Anyway, I think they are shooting for the fall or the spring and they said that they were in the middle of the race. If anyone could record it for us, that would be great. I'm sure there would be some interesting things about Burkina and you might get to see a little bit of our airport and what it's like to arrive here. Several of the teams were not quite dressed appropriately to handle the heat or the cultural requirements, so it will be interesting to see what they do (there was a goth team and the guy was wearing white face paint!). ---------------------------------------------------------- The goth girl team may not be a girl team apparently. Seriously though, Burkina Faso? Why not at least go to Ghana if you want to go to Western Africa? Is there anything interesting in Burkina Faso at all? |

Some more info:
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12522.25.html One of the contestants and his father were from Chicago and they sat across the aisle from us, so we got to talk to them a little bit.
There was at least one team that was "goth." They had either dyed their
hair pink or were wearing a wig (couldn't tell from where I was standing) and were wearing white face paint. You couldn't tell the gender of the person very well, either, and I kept thinking that they looked very hot and ridiculous. Then, there were the girls who were wearing tight warm-up pants…very shocking to the conservative Burkinabe culture where women wear skirts and dresses that go below the knee in public. So there was a girl team, apparently. |
