Don't forget in TAR7 during the meat eating challenge, Rob knew he could not eat 70 lbs. of meat so he managed to convince two other teams to take the four hour penalty. Sometimes, it's worth taking the penalty if you can play the Jedi Mind Trick that Rob did.

So it must be a road block right before the pitstop then....I say that because of this: Racers have a close encounter of the bird kind when 30,000 chickens cross their road to the pit stop. I wonder if T/S get to the FF first and can't do it, and that is how they get eliminated. It will be sad if that's true because I think Andrew and Dan are awful racers and seriously need to be kicked out. Once they are gone any of the remaining teams would be great winners. |

Thanks puddin... got this description off the CBS TAR web site:  Watch as the Amazing Racers have to search through thousands of chickens for a golden egg & dress up like a cow in search of a milk stand. Catch an all-new Amazing Race Sundays on CBS!Now, tell me again how BVM is trying to give a more favorable impression of Kazakhstan (unlike the Borat movie).   |

Thanks Boingo! I'm trying to upload it for Michael but hes going to have to wait.
And I'm not sure who gets the FF? Between N/S and T/S, T/S look happy! And the boys are lost again for Gods Sakes!

OMG, it makes sense for Nick/Starr to get the FF cause we know they make F3....maybe this is how T/S get eliminated...OR nick and starr can come in last and it can be a NEL.

Why are you so sure Terence and Sarah get eliminated? I think its too early to assume so Michael.
and then a clue that could really put a team behind if that team has to track back
*In a haste to avoid elimination, one team leaves behind something very important

From the excellent screen caps in Post #33, it looks like Terrance and Sarah are having a "should we quit" conversation. The huge risk might be them quitting the FF challenge.
I get the impression from Terrance and Sarah's confessional that they are safe.

only to find they can’t stomach the meat from a sheep’s rear.  Oh! I've had this. It's pretty shitty. That looks more like sheep stomach than sheep rear! |

It's Andouillette Trust me. It involves poop. I ate 2/3 of it and only stopped because the people around me were complaining about the smell. |

Chateau!  ..don't Terence and Sarah look like they are before Dallas and Toni?  so it now looks like Dallas and Toni make it to at least Leg 8 Almaty, Kazakhstan which should put them in the final 5. 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." |

Toni & Dallas look like they might be in the Green Bazar (Zeleny Bazar) which also next to the Great Mosque where the pit stop seems to be. This site has some good info on the sights with maps too. http://infokz.com/city/eng/walk_greenbazar.phpAnother way to continue your walk after the Park is to visit the Green Bazaar (Zeleny Bazaar). If you were brave enough to come to Almaty, you should not lose the chance to see Almaty’s main bazaar, experience its eastern atmosphere, colors, smells and crowds. Of course, beware of thieves and watch your wallet. |

*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!*
Long time lurker and admirer, first time poster. This fits in with a suspicion I had earlier. That quote about one team not making it to the finish line never said that it was one of the final 3 teams. If the team finishing in 5th or 4th place lost their passports, it is very unlikely that they would have been able to get replacements soon enough to be able to re-enter the USA in time for the end of the race. It could be that we do have 3 teams racing together in the finale. |
