If It Was On Wikipedia It Must Be True

These things are notoriosly incorrect. Sometimes, they manage to get the "out" person correct, but screw up the rest of it.

There's absolutely zero indication this is leaked information and not just vandalism. Also, it's Wikipedia, nothing is ever removed, you just have to check the history. And there you can see that it was a user from Portugal that wasn't logged in and left no comments as to the source of his/her information.

Looks like typical Wikipedia vandalism to me.

The Oregonian said in their piece on Leanne, "Marshall filmed "five or six weeks," which indicates she did pretty well but can't comment on who wins." So it's pretty obvious that the producers are not being too tight on leaks.

According to wikipedia, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez was a transexual of indeterminate sexuality and the consensus "shittiest player of all time, ever" for about six hours on one Monday evening.

Wikipedia is roughly about as accurate as AICN.

Blah,
they were all there for the same 5-6 week period regardless of when they were cut in order to conceal the outcome. That was an incorrect assumption on the Oregonian's behalf.

very true. it's not like the show is being filmed in real time. the challenges happen within days of each other, not once a week like the air time.
