I wonder why they skipped information on Episode 7, which is on November 9th.

This page states the Sunkar falcon farm is in the Alma-Arasan gorge south of the city; after doing a little translating ("Kennel hunting birds and dogs"), I'll make a guess and say it's here.

From this photo in this thread , Slowhatch says "Don't laugh but it looks like a minaret to me. I looked around Almaty but didn't see anything similar"




Boingo finds it!!
Egyptian Islamic Center (mosque) in Almaty




Slowhatch adds the photo below as well as more details:

According to the map, the area behind Nur Mubarak/Nur Mosque/Egypt Cultural Centre is described as Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and "Botanic Garden." She looks a little sad in the confessional; maybe they're out, or maybe it was just a long day.

Boingo already found the dombira. The hat is a Kalpak (see here and here), but it is worn throughout Central Asia not just KZ. I'm not sure about those small items in front.

[makz3d]

Boiled sheep's head looks like a FF to me.

                       

[topaz]

it is and the title of this episode said it all!  I do believe the frat boys will take it, and besides they have good stomach than the rest of the  teams.

And finally, this episode will feature Kazakhstan w/c the infamous home country of Borat, and we'll gonna see it what really looks like as contrast to his movie.

If the frat boys get to Kazakhstan, they'll take it.  The question is -- will they get to Kazakhstan or will they be Philiminated in India?

I wonder if the title refers to someone's fear of getting mad cow disease from eating goat brains?

[apskip]

I have a suspicion, nothing more, that the incident that sparks the title occurs in Delhi where cows are all over the place and not in Kazakhstan. Maybe it refers to blockages of traffic just taking a wild stab at it.

[Neobie]

Bunching at nondescript fenced compound (power pylons behind though), fast forward race between Terence/Sarah and Nick/Starr! (Sheep's head sounds just about right!)

*spoiler for those who haven't finished the last episode*
Andrew/Dan arguing in our Kazakh warrior's landscape...

555-333 is for Almaty Taxi.

And T/S VS N/S, which we know if T/S took it, they might put N/S behind. But if N/S took it.. then they are going to win 4 legs in a row. TAR's first..

[nathyn]

Hi everybody. Been a long time lurker. I'm constantly in awe of the detective work on this site.

My .02 for the title. I think Dan or Andrew says about how stupid the he was being as they make up.

[georgiapeach]

to RFF nathyn! Glad you decided to delurk!

From CBS (no video yet):

I'm Like An Angry Cow
Racers have a close encounter of the bird kind when 30,000 chickens cross their road to the pit stop. Teams encounter Mongol warriors and receive clues via Falcon Delivery. In a haste to avoid elimination, one team leaves behind something very important. And a team takes a huge risk only to find they can’t stomach the meat from a sheep’s rear.

*In a haste to avoid elimination, one team leaves behind something very important
Oh MY!!
*And a team takes a huge risk only to find they can’t stomach the meat from a sheep’s rear.
obvious Fast Foward! *FIXED!*

obvious Roadblock

puddin that sounds like the FF to me

[Chateau d If]

only to find they can’t stomach the meat from a sheep’s rear.

   Oh!  I've had this.  It's pretty shitty.

[puddin]

I meant Fast Foward   

And you ate that Chateau!? EWWWW

[puddin]

I messed up so thanks to the lovely Dreamer for the preview 

[georgiapeach]

*In a haste to avoid elimination, one team leaves behind something very important

Is this Dan/Andrew's "terrible Mistake"?? It seems too soon for the "prevents someone from joining their teammates at the finish line " mistake though...or is  it?

*And a team takes a huge risk only to find they can’t stomach the meat from a sheep’s rear.

What happened to the Sheep's Head?? 

You HAD to post that, Chateau?

I have to wonder about Sarah and Terence here. Sarah keeps kosher I believe, and aren't they vegetarian? 

yes-- from here:

http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,16722.msg332054.html#msg332054

Sarah keeps kosher and Terence is a vegetarian--maybe even vegan-ish--and, yes, a super healthy eater.

[N.A.]

For the million dollars, i think they'll eat anything.

[apskip]

I think that totally depends on how much time would be needed to get back onto the regular tasks. If it's less than 15 minutes, then maybe turn around and leave the FF. I'll bet it's more than that so they are effectively stuck if Terence/Sarah were the first to arrive at the FastForward.

I think Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas would be foolish to take the risk of inter-team competition and then the risk of not being able to finish the Fast Forward. Of course this logic applies to Terence/Sarah too and they may not follow this logic in their desire for a first place leg finish.
