Well, being Asian and of Taiwanese descent, I see the family issues as well, but I think it's more about the family rather than the editing.

Hi Mooyou. I'm here as well.

Here's what I understand with the spoilers and preview pictures so far:

Five of the teams arrived after the other four. These five are the 1st and 6th-9th teams of leg 2 (based on the sightings). So the forced plane landing may have occurred for the Jihs specifically, since they arrived very early in the leg 2 pitstop that they got on an earlier plane compared to the 2nd-5th team, but this actually caused them to fall behind with the 6th-9th team.

So I assume these five teams on the 2nd plane went to the RB which is the gymnast thing. We see Jamie with Jen (I think) at the sidelines and one of the Munoz doing the RB. As people have said, this was in the nighttime, which may be 1:00 AM in the morning? If so, those kids are up wayyyyy too late.

Just my opinion on the RB. It seems to be either: walking at a straight line to mimic a balance beam, or doing stunts at that straight line in lieu of a balance beam, or they're practicing on the floor before they mount and do stunts on the balance beam. Not sure why Mike had to do those running in circles with the gymnastic kids though.

So moving on to the trains. The RB must've been a relatively easy one for teams to be done in about 2 hours. Seriously mentioned that the station opens at 4:30 AM. I'm not really sure if the Tammy pic supports a similar time frame. Although I don't think the Jihs would be that far behind from Cara/Jamie, who I assume were the F/F teams spotted waiting at the train station, because both were spotted at a similar time frame in the airport. Also, do you guys think Gora de Nord was a bunching point? That would've been lovely.

Now teams had to travel from Bucharest to Brasov. Not sure if anyone has done this already, but I've found some information on the trains timetable from Bucuresti Nord to Brasov. Unfortunately, I can't post here what I found but anyways... I've set my search for Wednesday, Feb. 25. I'm pretty sure the time schedule for Nov. 5, 2008 is completely different, but anyways. It says there that travel time is between 3 - 4 hours from Bucharest to Brasov.

Go to this link for train schedules

I wonder why Amanda/Kris would search a well for their fanny pack. Also, why did Christie/Jodi ask for train info while still on the plane? Hmm...

TEAMS TRAVEL TO TRANSYLVANIA WHERE THEY MUST SEARCH THROUGH BURIED COFFINS FOR THEIR NEXT CLUE, WHILE A FIRST PLACE TEAM FINDS THEMSELVES STARING DOWN ELIMINATION AFTER AN UNEXPECTED DETOUR, ON "THE AMAZING RACE," MARCH 1 ON CBS
"I'm Not Wearing That Girls Leotard!" (Romania) - Teams scour the Transylvania countryside for buried coffins, while one of the Race's frontrunners finds themselves at the back of the pack when their plane makes an unexpected landing, on THE AMAZING RACE 14, Sunday, March 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is host.

I would agree the unexpected landing team is the first place team Victor and Tammy and that might be why they are not so happy.
For gymnasts, Tammy (bio does yoga) Mike White (bio does yoga) Mark Munoz (stuntman experience) and Jamie (cheerleader experience) might excel at this task.
Also agree the teams at risk for elimination this week are Jodi/Christie Kris/Amanda

And ..Welcome to the forum Mooyou

Amanda and Kris look like they're screwed, but it'll be such a pity! Perhaps the reason they become the unexpected early boot. Sigh, I wouldn't be happy with either an Amanda and Kris or Christie and Jodi boot! *pray*

at least they didn't lose their fanny packs in a real gypsy village

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #56 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:08:23 PM »

Can you imagine if this happens two seasons in a row? First Toni & Dallas and then Amanda & Kris?

The producers are going to require the fanny packs be stapled to everyone's fanny.

michael · « **Reply #57 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:21:51 PM »

I'm kind of glad that there's probably going to be a bunching point after the road block in this episode

I get the impression they lost their packs in the fake village and must retract steps to find. All-in-all, not as bad as Toni & Dallas.

In a real gypsy village, all Teams would be relieved of their packs!

Well, with Preston & Jennifer and Steve & Linda being the first two teams gone, I'm pretty much cool with everyone left, so I'll be torn as to whom to want to see stay or go each week. Hell, I don't really want anyone to go!

But of the two listed above, I'd rather it be Amanda & Kris. Alpha-couples going far is way too predictable, while women's going far is not.

I think this is an extended preview? Brad and Victoria MISS THEIR PLANE!!

puddin · « **Reply #62 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:16:57 PM »

Oh Shoot not Brad and Vic! Hopefully bunching!

this goes with the video
The teams go to Romania and have to learn a gymnastic routine in order to advance. One team gets lost and doubts their decisions - catch all the action on the next Amazing Race Sundays on CBS!

But the clue says nothing about missing a flight, its about an unexpected landing. Guess we'll have to look for the airport.

NICE catch!! I loved that movie, lol...

The Sound of Music Pavillon: can be found at Hellbrunn Palace today, in the movie it was still located at Leopoldskron Palace. One of the most famous and romantic scenes was filmed here: 'I am 16 going on 17'

Yes! But this would normally be a clock used to time routines, not a "what time is it" clock...

but 2:408 could be??

Thats what i couldn't remember. We went through this clock thing in TAR9 in Russia. Thanks peach.

Didn't anyone tell these teams that Gypsies are world-reknown pickpockets and thieves? And they left their valuables in plain sight. But since all the Gypsies were hired as "extras" by TPTB they probably got their stuff back finally, just delayed them.

It looks like the task in gypsieland is to load all the belongings of one family in the wagon. Gypsies do this all the time, they travel with the worldly possessions in their wagon.

If we see Tammy (in a gymnist shirt - do teams get to keep them?) in the cab and then at the rail station it looks like after landing in Bucharest, teams go to the gymnastic center for a Roadblock. They have to perform the four routines associated with the Olympic All-around champion: balance beam, floor excersize, parrell bars (except this is a man's routine which Jen is doing), the women do uneven bars) and vault. But since Jen or Kisha is doing a different routinte, perhaps the roadblocker only has to learn one of the routines. I wonder is Mike has to do a flip on the beam? After completing the roadblock teams are told to make their way to the railway station and catch a train to Brasov. Note that Victor is holding a red roadblock clue in the cab with Tammy and it is night (dark) out.

Also note that the shot of Margie and Luke by the Austrian pit stop mat is in daylight. They arrived just before sunset at 4:47PM so it looks like an extended 24-hour pitstop this time.

By the way, nice aerial shots of Bran Castle and Brasov which features the Black Church.
