EP5:10/26 "Do It Like a Madman"

[apskip]

  Thanks for the preview link, banzai.  It's obvious, but races arrive at Siem Reap Intl. Airport.

eta: plane appears to be Jetstar Airways (as per apskip's prediction). 

Well it was my prediction after a point in time. However the first person to spot that flight, with Jetstar not followed by the service I use for flight information so that I missed it, was Chateau!

In the extended preview Tina mentions that everybody else was able to finish the roadblock so why can't she? So I think it's safe to assume that Ken/Tina are lagging behind in this episode.

1.  Terence & Sarah (but they get on the same flight anyway).

2.  Unfortunately, that looks like Kelly & Christy.

3.  Definitely Nick or Starr, most likely Nick.

4.  Terence & Sarah (but they're not eliminated)

Love these commercials!! I think this is going to be a GREAT episode. I think the clues deinifely refer to the teams Belle Book says. We have already seen 1,2, and 4 in the ads and Nick & Starr are the only jerks likely to lie to another team. As Sarah says in the extra video, I think they're "bad people"!! 

[Belle Book]

I think they're bad people too.  And they won't win.

Preview!    (commercial first)

What still only two pages?

Here is the Detour destination:

[georgiapeach]

General time of day??

I think we have boats,  Detours of collect fish/fish baskets vs collect teeth?  then to Blue trucks then to Angkor Wat for the Roadblock at the temples but would be nice to know that...

I have to find them but maybe we could compare to your temple/truck times you did...

[Slowhatch]

I'm too slow again, as usual.  (more pictures here and here). I spent too much time on the New House Fresh Water Fish Ranch. 

then to Blue trucks...

Didn't the truck spoiler mention something about baskets?

[Chateau d If]

I think everybody except Ty & Aja arrive on the same 7 AM'ish flight and then go to the blue trucks.  We know those were located where a tourist on an inbound bus was stopped.  I kind of located that place but some stuff is just not matching up so I do wonder if I got it right.  Anyway, they are there early in the day.  I bet the blue trucks take them to the riverside docks where the boats are.  It is still morning, as in 8 to 10 am, when they are motoring out off the river's mouth and into the floating village.  That is the Detour spot.   They they take the blue trucks to Angkor Wat where we know they are there in the 11:30 to noon range.

Ty & Aja sealed their fate in New Zealand and won't be arriving until the 12:20 flight lands.  Something like 5 hours behind     The 18 hour Pit Stop did them no favor.  Without it, Ken & Tina would have arrived the night before and Ty & Aja would be with the rest of the gang on the same 7 am flight.

I'd guess TPTB did not want Ken & Tina to run away with it all.

[georgiapeach]

The baskets were originally reported by one of our bloggers as "pig baskets" but we later pretty much determined them to be fish baskets I believe...

let me go look...

[georgiapeach]

Here are the pig basket references:

From the previous travel blog that I found  , thank you chrisrae    

The Tonle Sap sighting is where Chrisrae saw them--as posted just upstream.

This is a private message from Chrisrae in answer to my questions:

It was an African American couple. I just uploaded the only pick I have to my blog entry "cambodia's culinary delights." It's the last picture in the series.

I saw them after arriving near seim reap by boat from battambang, traveling through lake tonle sap. It was about 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon on a Sunday. They were at the water's edge. We were kept away but I saw the guy stacking some baskets I've seen them use to transport pigs and she was holding their bags. They then jumped in awaiting trucks and were transported with the cameraman and got out near a wat outside of town. I kept onto town so I don't know what happened next.

Hope that helps!

This is what a pig basket might look like as described by Chrisrae, being stacked onto the blue truck (  )

And here is the start of the fishies:

I want to play with the fish  :sucks

I finally found a team in the album. It's the mother and son team!

Could it be a roadblock? It seems he's going to retrieve a net which contains the fish

Looks like another dried fish task in the works  

From the shots in the floating village on Tonle Sap

We know the Roadblock is at Angkor sooooooo we know the Mom/Son are doing a detour

I think this is the task being set up hired locals , they are bringing the net baskets and wooden boats, the fish are in the pens and this is where they have to retrieve them? also we see Phil being filmed near the fish pens.
We see the Mom/Son team returning? a basket/net to the one boat. But we hear from the one witness that the African American team was loading baskets into the back of  one of the blue trucks that we see.  And where do the 7 boats with flags come in?

Heee....and I just asked the same question 4 months later!

Here are flights that Ken & Tina flight could have been on if the Pit Stop was the proper 12 hours.  I'm going with a checkin time of 9:20 am on May 2nd.  So they start driving to AKL at 9:20 pm on May 2nd.  They reach AKL just after midnight on May 3rd.  They can now take this flight sequence:

Singapore Airlines 7295 leaving AKL at 2:50 am and arriving in SIN at 8:35 am
Singapore Airlines 18 leaving SIN at 9:55 am and arriving in Seoul ICN at 5:20 pm
Asiana Airlines 737 leaving ICN at 8:00 pm and arriving in Siem Reap at 11:50 pm

or even better with this one

Singapore Airlines 7295 leaving AKL at 2:50 am and arriving in SIN at 8:35 am
Singapore Airlines 972 leaving SIN at 10:30 am and arriving in Bangkok at 11:55 am
Bangkok Airways 5915 leaving BKK at 1:10 pm and arriving Siem Reap at 2:30 pm

They would have completed the Siem Reap leg on May 3rd and be one day ahead for the outbound flights of the next leg.   

[Chateau d If]

So they raised the fish in this big pen (looks like a lot of TLC):



And then, they distribute the fish to these little pens for the Teams to fish from:



I wonder how they catch them?   

[Chateau d If]

And this shot of Matt's must be the place where they have to get teeth:

[georgiapeach]

Love the TEETH but re the fishies:

Nice try but somehow I don't think so!

See the pic of Dallas and Toni in the water? I think they are just collecting a couple of the underwater baskets maybe....

[Slowhatch]

Cylindrical drum trap (page 5 here).

[georgiapeach]

I also wonder if part of the Detour is a whole shopping trip/scavenger hunt?

Remember that this is a whole floating town...

We see the Texans going to the dentist for a tooth, but Matt's pics also had the sewing shop:




Maybe they have to make the rounds?

And what was being filmed at the pink building? Could that be a school?

[Chateau d If]

Matt was always taking pix of the pretty girls.   

[georgiapeach]

Here is the series that I think best shows Dallas doing the Fishing Basket Task?
