• Jaigarh Fort pitstop (closest finish ever)
• Paul and Steve knock over someones pots

Looking at the girls forehead, they must be got the red dot from a priest in one of the route infos...

Paul and Steve - VS - Kym and Donna..

[Glamazon Racer]

Well since we're off to Jaipur and the Pit Stop is the same as the TAR14 Pit Stop (Jaigarh Fort), where we coincidentally also had a relatively close race to the finish, then maybe there will be other copied tasks from the TAR14 leg? Obviously we already know the driving test, and the clay pots, neither of which appeared in that TAR14 leg, but maybe they have one of the other tasks somewhere? I dunno, just speculating...

Also, I was wondering - has any other international TAR version gone to Jaipur besides TAR14?

[howie_2010]

They're shifting time slots. Seven is quite ridiculous with time slots and this quite regularly (They would air new episodes of Revenge twice a week at one point), it gets extremely confusing and does not bode well for the show's ratings.

Edit: How are Sue and Teresa safe for this episode? I thought they weren't seen after the Delhi pit stop.

[Glamazon Racer]

Well I think the reason for the timeslot shift is pretty clear for next week. Both Australia's Got Talent and TARAus are moving to Thursday night, while Wednesday night has a movie (Evan Almighty) because next Wednesday night is Game II of the 2012 State of Origin Series, airing on Channel Nine, so if TARAus airs against it, ratings would severely drop for next week's episode, so the move to Thursday is a smart one.

I speculate that this will be a temporary swap and that TARAus will be back to Wednesday in a fortnight, but if TARAus does return to Wednesday, then I speculate Episode 6 will also shift to Thursday, to avoid clashing with Game III of the State of Origin.

They also used the exact same pit sop in Amazing Race Norway!!!

I would rather Thursday

There were 3 things in our promo:
1. Driving Test RB
2. Transporting the pots, and Paul's backpack knocks over some of Kym and Donna's pots
3. The closest sprint to the Pit Stop ever (I'm sure this is one of Channel 7's usual over-exaggeration lines)

It's similar, but the Sydney preview was definitely different to the Melbourne one in your post, ZouLy.

[SoYoung]

Could this be a Paul and Steve vs Kym and Donna fighting for last place with P/S beating K/D. Well whether P/S intentionally or accidentally reaking Kym and Donna's pot might be the reason of their elimination.

[jiajia12]

Wow I really hate Paul, First time going to cheer to hope an asian is eliminated.

[zeeyyy]

Wow I really hate Paul, First time going to cheer to hope an asian is eliminated.

If I hate a person, I'll definitely hope that he/she's out, regardless of race... 

[BayBay]

Same promo but cut short! (I don't think you recorded it all!)

[supah]

NEW promo - the pot carrying task

i gather that teams have to load pots onto a ox-drawn cart and deliver them somewhere. if they break FIFTEEN or more pots, they will receive a penalty

the team in the promo was Michelle and Jo, their ox was going a little too fast, Jo yelling and Michelle to slow down but a lot of their pots broke

WHERE the penalty will be carried out was NOT said. it could be at the pit stop or at the end of the task 

this challenge looks a LOT harder than TARA3 version because its basically in the control of an animal 

[tarflyonthewall]

Just a heads up: It's only on 9:00pm Thursday night in Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT. In the other states (and the Northern Territory), it's on at the regular time, and we get a different football game on Thursday night.

[georgiapeach]

A clearer version? And let me know if you want caps?

[ZouLy]

thanks Peach you can replace mine one though anytime.. 


by the way, I don't know how to snap video from the website and record it without any extra (outside) devices (just within the computer/software itself) if anyone had a guide or an advice maybe you can PM me? (actually hotriceguy doing a great job last time, but i don't know where'd he go..  )


we know from the promo that teams who's doing this clay pot detour are :

- Michelle & Jo
- Paul & Steve
- Sue & Teresa
- Kym & Donna
- Sticky & Sam

[selfeviction]

To be clear for confused non-Australians - people in Victoria (Melbourne) & Tasmania will still be able to provide recaps at the normal time (Wednesday 9pm).

for once in my life I wouldn't mind living in Melbourne just to watch this ep 

[supah]

there was DEFINITELY a detour leg. i have evidence
The pot stacking task could have been one side of the detour but was shown as a RI

[AR FAN]

What's your evidence? If so, what was the other side of the detour?.

[SoYoung]

Speculation before premiere:
Frontrunners - Paul/Steve, Joseph/Grace,Cops
Underdogs-Ross/Taryn, Michelle/Jo, Kym/Donna, Sticky/Sam(weakest of M/M)

After Episode 3:

Very shocked that it is the other way around but still  Never judge a book by its cover. Lol

PROOF this cap is from one of the pre-show promos



there is CLEARLY a clue box
AND
Sarah is clearly holding a DETOUR clue in her hand

what i can't seem to figure out is when/where was this? these are the same clothes that James and Sarah wore in Ep03
and this definitely looks like India to me, it can't be next episode because teams receive the clue that tells them to fly to Jaipur right at the Pit Start
its the Red Elephant Temple 

whats everyone else thinking after seeing this? what do you think happened?? was the blessing one side of the Detour?

[paldog123456]

That's the Red Elephant Temple, the first place they visited during the leg. (There's a red elephant in the picture. )

[supah]

oh right, lol 

but still unanswered, what's with the Detour clue?
MAYBE the clue box had the Detour clue, and one of the options was to get the blessing from the priest?? 

because when Sticky/Sam opened the first clue of the leg, there was no video bit where Grant said 'teams must now make their way _____ where they will find their next clue'
so I'm saying that maybe they had a Detour, but everyone chose the same task (blessing), so they showed it as a RI, but did not film Grant introducing the (what i think was) the Detour

i guess we will never know

Thanks, now I also know why there were no red elephants shown in the broadcasted episode.

I have a nice theory.

They went to the same places as amazing race Norway including the stairs, the pit stop and the red elephant temple.
The detour there was a choice between lying on a bed of nails or  walking across a bed of hot charcoals on fire. After they completed the detour the man in the temple would put the red dot on their foreheads and give them the next clue.

In TAR Norway this detour was really stupid and everyone did any of the tasks in a few seconds and actually was not interesting at all to watch.

I think this was probably the detour because you can see the charcoals in on of the takes and it is located in the same place as in TAR norge.

your theory is totally right! if anyone noticed all the teams were going from that ground where was a little fire or smt and they weren't wearing shoes too so totally right buddy

[Jobby]

Now watching EP3! Excited!

New Delhi to Jaipur! WOW!!

Sticky and Sam first at 9am! Wow. Michelle and Jo were so close to winning the last leg!

Pass an Indian Driving Test!!!?? Which season did we see this task? I remembered seeing it on one season, or is it just me?

Not exactly Andrew and Shane. You got an excellent cab driver which sent you from last to 7th last leg??

[Jobby]

Sticky driving a car and scaring the driver much!

Michelle and Jo in first place!

Paul and Steve... what a great team... can't even drive.

2 Roadblocks in a leg! NICE!

Hairdressers like celebrities in India! Reminds me of Meredith and Gretchen!

Wow. You mean they could complete 2 Roadblocks in a leg?? That's shocking!

Lucy and Emilia are still in last place?

Sticky and Sam might be in first again!

Sticky and Sam winning another leg! Omg!!

Ross and Tarryn are doing so well as well! And where the hell is Paul and Steve? So much so for being "physically stronger" than the other teams.

Two kids pinching Sarah's bum! TOO FUNNY!

Kym and Donna beating Paul and Steve. <333333333333333333333333333

I don't want either of the all-female teams to go home.

I like the hairdressers!

Bye Sue and Theresa. You did so well for the first two legs! The Roadblock killed you guys.

[Jobby]

But what a nice place to get eliminated! The teachers... they are getting so much screentime for being constantly in last, lololol.

[Glamazon Racer]

Pass an Indian Driving Test!!!?? Which season did we see this task? I remembered seeing it on one season, or is it just me?

On Season 10. Although that was in Chennai on the US one.

I knew it was on a season before! AHHHHHHH! Thanks for the heads up! I think this task was pretty screwed considering none of the teams who drove too slowly or what didn't get penalize. But I guess this is just one of those task that "you complete it" you get the clue type!

If only they made the teams drive to the next location themselves! Seeing them get lost on the streets of India would be PRICELESS!
