Rumors about race route

As of this date, no reliably sourced information about this season's race route has been released. We do have reliably sourced info that racers have been spotted during filming, and the text reflects this. Please do not add information about the route until it is released, even if the text is commented out. Per WP:MOS, invisible comments are for editors to communicate issues to each other when it is more convenient than using the talk page. They are not for placeholder text to be added to the article later;that's what the sandbox is for. KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have also, for now, removed the statement that Caitlin Upton is participating in TAR 16, as it is sourced to a Huffington Post article that cites a dead link to a South Carolina newspaper, and explicitly states the SC newspaper's source is a fan forum. I'm leaving the statement about the two Big Brother contestants for now as it is supported with a picture and, though I don't recognize them having never watched BB, I'm going to assume the writer is correct.

race route -> must see [[1]] -> thai language translation to english language. 111.94.25.210 (talk) 16:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia in another language is not a reliable source. I don't understand Thai, but it appears that that article is not adequately sourced either; I'll leave that determination to the folks who edit over there. KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It apparently the route comes from Thai article which particularly hoax and Wikipedia is not for false thoughts. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 04:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unaired penalty on Leg 2?

When Louie & Michael arrived at the mat Phil informed them they were "the 9th team to arrive", which is usually the script when that team has incurred a penalty. Of course this is just speculation on my part and we couldn't add it to the article without a reliable source, which is what we did with an unaired penalty on TAR 15. Just something to keep an eye on. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Intersection on Leg 4 and how to mark it.

If anyone saw the end of Leg 3 in a preview to Leg 4, Phil clearly states there is an Intersection and a clear indication of the Intersecion sign, however unlike the past two times it has happened, it will occur with 8 teams? Any ideas on what kind of marks will we use?70.145.210.18 (talk) 02:05, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you're talking about in the Race Summary of Episode 4, one would assume the standard intersection icon as seen in Season 10 for example would be used. Then anything note worthy would be added into the results table, but that would be if anything out of the ordinary occurs. 82.15.8.80 (talk) 11:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
