I wonder if instead of Non-elim legs we're going to get episodes where they've done most of a "leg" and they see Phil but instead of getting a prize - they discover that the 'leg' continues - and we see the rest next episode.

That may be, but Phil definitely said at the beginning of the race that there are X pit stops, Y are elimination points, and Z are non-elimination. I just don't recall the values of X, Y, and Z. I remember because I keep hoping for a race without any non-elimination legs. Of course, I keep hoping for an actual "race" with actual "clues" too.

According to Miss Alli at TWOP: [link]
at the beginning of the race, Phil explicitly said eleven pit stops, of which eight would be elimination points. That would imply that there are pit stops that are not elimination points, however they intend to handle or label them. I suspect it's semantics, but Phil said eleven pit stops, and Phil said eight elimination points. We've now had six elimination points and six pit stops. Either the opening narration was flat-out false, or there are some pit stops coming up that are not elimination points.

Thank you Nora, I knew I didn't imagine it!
ETA: That's not to say I don't imagine Phil saying things from time to time. They just usually don't involve pit stops.

Okay, if we have to lose Jack - it's nice to get Chris back.
