Chateau, when you find the time could you look into what time you think Rachel is doing the Roadblock?
I say its after the Detours because TK now has his pants cuffed from wading through the water at the base of Fort Bokar and then climb the rope at the gate etc.

 

This is a tough one.  The shadow seems kind of close to the wall (that TK is leaning against).  I know from their other shadows that they were there around 4:30 to 5:30.  But to call the time of the shot as 4:30 is on the edge of hard-to-believe.  I will have to do a cosine correction to sort it out.  And... I can't do that right now.   It will have to wait until the w/e.

Sorry.

Well, we don't really know it's Rachel.

And the Roadblock has to come first because the blogger said they were spying on the cluebox continuously until the Ron & Christina ran up to it.  And the clue from that box is red.  So that's when they do the Roadblock.  The Detour sends then off to the other side of the city (rowboat).  They're not coming back to do the Roadblock. 

Rolled up cuffs:  the walking shot was taken before they did either Detour or Roadblock.  I can't tell if the dude agaist the wall has rolled up cuffs or not.  I don't even know if it is TK.

I'll get the time of the shot in a few days.  Sorry again.

Well Damn I forgot the clue was red  :cmas13

eta: so that makes Chris/Ron neck and neck with the Goths and whichever of-- Ron or Chris and they are just out of sight at the RB in the blog pictures I guess.

Only 11 Legs but they are doing 2 TBC?

That's only 9 Pitstops though...With only 3 real Pitstops before the Final Leg I don't know how they can fit in: 2 FF, 2 Yields (?), 1 U-Turn, 1-2 Speed Bumps.

We don't know if there are yields or FFs anymore do we? If there IS going to be a FF i would guess Croatia as one of the places for it ... but with the addition of the preview we see all teams doing the tasks.

That info is not foolproof by any means. The person could have been with the Blondes, then gone on to help with something else in Dubrovnik and then not been needed after that. Plus this is info heard at a remove (as in it was told to me not heard directly by me) so there is always room for misquoting.

But take it with a grain of salt and throw it in the mix is all!



I believe I was told once that the camera crews are changed after every leg of the race so that no production team gets to be too familiar or buddy-buddy with any one team.

Okay, I have no doubts now.  This shot from Eilan really is TK & Rachel at the Roadblock.  With the high resolution available and now knowing how the they look in various conditions and activities I am convinced.

I have also resolved the timing of the shot.  Earlier I was confused by the building's shadow line in front of TK.  It turnsout there is a broad set of three steps in front of the little church.  Those steps are hiding some of the shadow.  I found a better shadow line to  use for this shot.  It is cast by the clue box.

This shot was taken between 4:41 and 5:03 pm (assumes July 19th).

I do think the way they frame that comment is suggestive of a TBC...and the sourced photos have been right on before...BUT!

Do we really have time for a NEW leg?? Let's count it out:

11 Episodes: 2 TBC's:

EP 1 LA to Ireland  start 11 teams, end 10
Ep 2 Ireland to Amsterdam start 10, end 9
EP 3 Amsterdam to Ouagadougou start 9, end 8
EP 4 Ouag to Ouag  start 8, end 7
Ep 5 Ouagadougou to Lithuania start 7, end 6
EP 6 Lithuania to Croatia start 6, end 5  OR
EP 6 Lithuania to Croatia start 6--TBC--end 6
EP 7 Croatia to Florence start 5, end 4 OR
EP 7 Croatia to Croatia (Split) start 6, end 5
EP 8 Florence to India start 4 almost certain TBC, end 4 (TBC could also be in Florence instead of course) OR
Ep 8 Split to Florence start 5, end 4
EP 9 India to Osaka start 4 end 3 OR
EP 9 Florence to India start 4 end 3
EP 10 Osaka to Taiwan start 3 TBC end 3 OR
Ep 10 India to Osaka start 3 end 3?? oops doesn't work! See--you have used one TBC and need another in Taiwan and that is how many we were told we would have..so doesn't seem to work...You would also need 12 episodes to play it out OR we would have to skip India entirely which would seem unlikely given the initial Vidcaps)
EP 11 Taiwan to Alaska FINALE start 3, end 1  and all the numbers match!

So it works in my happy place anyway :lol: --where could have I gone wrong?

Do the racers really go to Split? If they go from Dubrovnik to Florence, then I think it works out. Dubrovnik ends w 6 TBC, Florence ends w 5, India ends w 4, Osaka ends w 3, and Taiwan ends w 3 TBC.

Another thought is that one of the "episodes" is two hours. CBS.com counted the Polish extravaganza as 1 episode (and, I think, 1 leg) so maybe that would be a way for CBS to get around the "two fewer legs" comment. In this case, Osaka to Taiwan could be hour one with a TBC and Taiwan to Girdwood could be hour two, much like the finales of yore. Granted, it would be really obvious to the viewers, but whatever.

And from our pictures, would the order be:

1. Goths
2. Ron/Chris
3. TK/Rachel
4. Jen/Nate (their boat was already out as Nic/Donald started leaving)
5. Nic/Donald
6. Az/Hend

And do the tasks go: Pit Start - Airport - Cluebox - RB - Detour - Pit Stop/"Pit Stop"

Split is pure speculation based on one source photo--and is probably very unlikely.

We need Chateau's times on the Nate/Jenny boat to be sure--but I think that is the probable correct order so far.

And yes on the order of tasks too!

We still need to find that Pitstop....

Hello people!

Can't sleep, so just dropping in to say thanks for the fantastic work in spoiling! Especially to puddin, Chateau, peach (and michael who posted some airport  :mas25).

Anyways, just adding my thoughts about the title("Cherry on Top of the Sundae that's Already Melted"):

1) I don't think it will be said by the last team (if assuming TBC leg)  because doesn't Phil only give the news to the first team to hit the mat and then it goes "TO BE CONTINUED (dun dun dun!)"

2) I think it is definitely about Hendekea/Azaria or TK/Rachel when they check in 5th (if assuming elimination leg) because they've probably had such a crappy leg and to still stay in it they're relieved

3) Just the wording of it makes me think Ron says it.

I really hope one of these things are correct lol. Stay safe people!

 :cmas9 Thank you Chateau!  :kisses
Hey I was thinking the title might be Kynt --we know he wears that pink cowboy hat and maybe Phil says something to him about it and they do come in first place, finally! and maybe it is a TBC/Superleg and then thats when Kynt says the title? just thinking outloud  B:) B:) but cherries are red so  B:) B:)

Btw, I wanted to remind everyone that this week is a doubleheader weekend for CBS with the featured game at 4:15 p.m. ET, the Steelers-Patriots. Knowing that these teams hate each other and will probably throw a lot, this game might not get over until 7:45 p.m. I'll have the coverage map from the506.com later in the week, but I know PA will definitely be affected as well as up here in the New England area.

It's so weird seeing the preview and how it matches up with the pictures (obviously they would, but it's still weird!)
