Title: EP 6: "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me." ( Wends @ 8:00 ET)
Post by: gingerman28 on March 21, 2006, 11:20:43 AM
According to TV Guide.Com:

Some teams get lost (so what else is new ) while searching for a Clue in Sicily . The DETOUR requires the players either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in an open air market or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile.  During the ROADBLOCK, one team member must score a goal against a team of professional kayak-polo players.

Now they tell us just about everything in advance: the site of the episode; the two Detour tasks; and the Roadblock task. The only thing they don't tell us in the advance is whether this time there will be a Fast Forward, a Yield, or a NEL.

If I had my pick, I would certainly carry the 32 pounds a third of a mile.  That shouldn't bother anyone except perhaps Wanda and Desiree or the Double Dees if they are still in the game at this point in time.

The teams are very young and all the players are from 18 to 25.
Our club has also a flat water canoe team that provides two athletes to the Italian National team, we do also have windsurf and sailing activities.
Our clubhouse is placed in one of the most attractive seasides of Italy , the place is called Mondello, that is 10 km far from Palermo , and it often hosts world windsurf competitions.
We are really interested to have an exchange experience with international clubs. It could be very interesting to play with overseas players, and also international players would have the chance to visit Sicily, that is a land full of History, Arts and beautiful sites.

During the ROADBLOCK, one team member must score a goal against a team of professional kayak-polo players.
My hunch is that they'll play dead, like the Hungarian waterpolo team.
Quote
Società Canottieri Trinacria
Trinacria is a different name for Triskelion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinacria), which answers the trivia question: What do Sicily, the Isle of Man and a Star Trek re-run have in common?

Palermo has three or four open-air markets (listed here (http://www.bestofsicily.com/mag/art85.htm), near the bottom of the page). Catania has a few markets as well as a kayak club (Sicilian kayak clubs listed here (http://www.federcanoa.it/anagrafica.asp?tipo=r&lettera=13)); I'm not saying everything will be at Catania, but unless the producers want to spend both eps in Palermo the possibility should be considered.

Unless TV Guide is more inaccurate than usual, they come right out and tell us that this ep takes place in SICILY.

 NEXT TIME ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:

Scene: Busy town square marketplace.
Phil : Fran/Barry drum up business with Sicilan locals ...
Fran: Gotta sell ten pounds, right?
Barry negotiates prices for bags of fresh fish.


Looks like they're still at the marketplace.
Phil: ... while Monica's tantrum incites Joseph.
Monica: Oh, GOD! Joseph!!!
Joseph holds up a wad of money, then a huge fish.
Joseph: WHAT do you WANT!?!?
Monica, crying: The worst thing I've ever done!

The hippies and the beach boys will have such a huge lead at the beginning of this episode. Can we expect an equalizer -- a big one where all 7 teams bunch?
Title: Re: EP 6 TITLE "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me."
Post by: Traegen on March 28, 2006, 10:38:46 PM
Seeing as they are still in Sicily I am thinking that a major bunch won't happen until they have to leave for Greece.

Segesta is inland right? So they have to drive first to the coast - which will spend some of the time that the early finishers have to wait for the fish market to open (if they have to wait at all).

According to the Catania airport information Segesta is 285 km away. There is a bus that runs from Palermo to Catania.

Monica crying, another red herring?

I am going to be so happy :lol3: the day Lake gets eliminated. Will it be next eppy? But wait, it's most likely NEL.

Do you think with the current edit Lake will finish higher than 6th? Jon/Victoria finished 6th.

As strange as it may seem, taking a plane to Catania (through Rome) may at certain times be faster (and cheaper of course) than using a train (http://www.trenitalia.it/).

John & Scott spoiler is not that bad:

John said probably “The Frosties”, they are 6-foot tall women. Scott liked “The Pinks” [Danielle & Dani]. Scott said he also liked “The Nerds” [couple Dave & Lori]. John said they were cute. Scott said he loved Ray & Yolanda.

Well he also never metioned Wanda and Dez.  My guess is Ray and Yolanda do get eliminated soon along with Lake and Michelle, follwed by Dave and Lori who my guess is come in fifth, but they can be switcehd with Ray and Yolanda at 7th.
The final four [i know pretty lame] will prolly be MOJO, BJT, EJ, and Fran and Barry [so much for that "good" season this is so predictable]

I've attached the kmz for the fish market: Piazza Pardo, Mon-Sat., 5-11 a.m.

THe Hippies and Frat boys landed at the Pit Stop mid afternoon (someone has a better time I'm sure), thus leave around 3 am.  If the Detour is first and the market opens at 5 am, we will not have bunching here.  However, selling 10 lb of fish at 5 am might be harder that it would be at 8 am.

in tar7, Susan and Patrick were the last team in the food challenge. They never catched up and the next leg and got eliminated. If there's no bunching, Ray & Yolanda will be eliminated. Unless 1 team got lost again. lol.

Here are some more shots of the Catania market. You can see some circle thingys (that's my best description) that match the background of Franknberries selling fish. Mo/Jo are shown toting their fish in the fruit and vegetable section. Good God the smell must be awful.

Deciding to go for the FF???? So far, E/J, Raylonda and D/L are the only ones not shown doing a detour or roadblock. And you would need to be near the front of the pack to risk going for it.

We see all the top teams doing tasks , but we have to remember that if there is a FF one of E&J or the Hippies might only have to do something simple at the Roadblock to complete the FF ..I can't remember what seasons' we've seen this ?
Still without clearer vidcaps we can't really tell whats going on . As far as I can tell its another long day .

Deciding to go for the FF???? So far, E/J, Raylonda and D/L are the only ones not shown doing a detour or roadblock. And you would need to be near the front of the pack to risk going for it.

Only RAYLONDA and THE NERDS and not accounted for at either the Roadblock or Detour.  If there is a FF, it would have to be one of these teams, and since they are near the bottom of the pack, it would be logical for them to use it.

And in three of the last four TAR's the FF and NEL have come during Leg 5.  And this is really LEG  5 although it is titled EP6.

Nice find, Puddin.  Now we know positively, absolutely positively that at least part of the leg is spent in Catania.  This also would be a logical place to have a pit stop since there is an airport here with good connecting flights to Rome and then on to Athens when we start leg 6.

The Hippies and The Beach Boys have at least a FIVE HOUR lead over Raylanda.  Haven't checked the bus schedules, but what time does the earliest bus leave Palermo for Catania?  Or do they drive?  If they can get on autostrada A19 it would take them directly from Palermo to Catania 285 kms (171 miles), and since it is a limited access road with a good speed limit one would think (unless you are Ray or Lake)  that you could drive it in less than 3 hours. So if they left at 2:15AM they would be in Catana when the fish market Piazza Pardo opened at 5:00AM

But if the teams had to wait in Palermo until the first bus left, say at 8:30AM which would enable all the teams to bunch up, they would not reach Catania while the market was still open since it closes at 11AM.

Could this mean that the teams leave Segesta between 2:15AM and 7:00AM, visit some place else first (Agrigento, for example) or perhaps Mt. Etna (Parco Regionale Dell'Etna) then arrive in Catania in time to do the Roadblock (Kayak Polo) then get clue late in the day to go to the Piazza Pardo fish market, but find out that they have to camp out until the next morning until it opens at 5:00AM (another bunch point).  This would give rise to the title "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me."

Just some thoughts to ponder over.

Not like this means anything but a pattern has come up on my computer and so far holds true.  i have all the teams listed in order from the preview but they are in rows of 3. 

 Like this
DAVE And LORI            DOUBLE D                  BJT
RAYLONDA                  JOHN AND SCOTT       MOJO
BEACH BOYS                LISA JONI                FRAN AND BARRY

Lake and Michelle         WANDA AND DEZ

AS you can see the whole middle row was eliminated in order starting at JS.  Now i know its prolly nothing but i believe in superstition and i got to go with Ray and Yolanda being eliminated next [via maybe a like Brian and Greg not ever being able to catch up]

Who else would Lake be yelling " you got to throw it now , Come on  " to ?

I may be able to get some times for some of the shots.  It will help to have some tourist type photos for pinpointing locations and camera points of view.  I already see a good shadow in the background of that gate.  Except that shot does not have racers in it.

TENSIONS MOUNT AND THE STRESS OF THE RACE TAKES ITS TOLL ON SEVERAL TEAMS WHO GET LOST WHILE TRYING TO FIND THEIR NEXT CLUE IN SICILY, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT

"Sleep Deprivation Is Really Starting To Irritate Me" -- Tensions mount and the stress of the race takes its toll on several teams who get lost while trying to find their next clue in Sicily, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Tuesday, April 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

While racing through the ancient streets of Sicily, teams choose between a detour where they must either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in a busy open-air market, or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile through a congested part of the city in order to receive their next clue. Teams are also faced with a roadblock that requires one team member to score a goal in the popular Italian sport of "Kayak Polo" while competing against a team of professional players

FWIW, there is a second and (third) Roman Amphitheatre in Catania, which are even closer to the Fish Market pointed out by Banzai.  These are much more complete than the one in Piazza Stesicoro.  I wonder if the teams get confused and go to the wrong theatres here when they arrive in Catania?  Depends on how detailed the clues are.    :dunno:

Quote
Draped with ivy, and overlooked by a ring of 17th-century buildings and apartments, this charming theater at Via Vittorio Emanuele 260 is an ancient oasis concealed in the midst of an urban neighborhood. During classical times, it held as many as 17,000 spectators for plays and -- to a lesser extent -- water games, when boats would float on waters funneled in from then-nearby streams and aqueducts. It was also a site for gladiator contests. Ironically, part of the theater's graceful crescent-shaped seating structure is blocked by a black-lava bridge added during the early 17th century as the base for the since-demolished Via Grotte, once a densely populated street within this residential neighborhood.

A smaller theater, the Odeon, is accessible near the back side of the Roman theater. To reach it, follow signs from the theater and walk uphill through some tunnels and steep vaulted stairs.

I don't think this is recycled - last eppy Barry was wearing a brighter blue t-shirt. Just want to make sure.  :waves:

If this is new, then Barry takes off this blue shirt at the fish market.

So can we assume they don't travel by bus at all and just drive?

Piazza Stesicoro
Open: every day from 9 am to 1.30 pm and from 2.30 pm to 5 pm
Free entry
Gorgeous monument of the Roman Empire, you can see its ruins in the center of the Stesicoro square

----------------

Different pages give different hours, for ex. another says 9:00-1:30 and 2:00-7:00pm but generally it says it's open from 9:00.

You're right  :woohoo:, at first I thought it is the Siegestor gate in Munich (pitstop ep4) but it's not.

The background seems more Italian to me, it's probably the pit stop?? I will try and search later.

The way the promo is edited, my hunch is that the little inlet (with the two bridges) is the location of the kayak task. Like Sups, I've GE'd Catania, Palermo, Messina, Siracusa, etc., with no luck. It's still a bit of a puzzle.

Boingo, I'm afraid that's not it. Lake's one has a more elaborate, intricate facade.

Does everyone think it is a gate or "porta"? It seems more so than a building. Let me know so I can narrow it down. I've spent an hour looking through pics of many portas in Sicily and I don't see one with such a facade.  :umn: Will try again during weekend.

For the site of the canoe polo road block, try the town of Siracusa.  This town is south of Catania and boasts world champion canoe polo team.  A quick Google Earth (love this program) search shows a canal like area on a penisula of downtown Siracusa.

Have fun.

Some of the structures in GE don't match, but that could have changed since the images were taken. I double-checked with webshots (source (http://community.webshots.com/photo/365098215/1365102800071670503WemrYU)) and the buildings look like a match. Good job.

Camera di Commercio in Siracusa.  Looks like a match for the building behind Lake.

The yellowish building (Hotel) on the left, with the rooftop restaurant (maybe), is where Lake was standing.

Lake's confession takes place during the day.  The gray sky is similar to other vidcaps at the canoe polo Roadblock.  I imaging the gray sky is going to make it difficult for anyone to figure out time of the day based on shadows.

They are driving to the airport from the pitstop in Germany ,
Lake ( voice dubbed while driving , his mouth doesn't move) :Michele is navagating , she still has a little room to grow there.
Michele ( backseat talking ): its good to get out infront of people even  alittle bit or being in first
Lake ( on building confessional ):I think Michele could be better mentally ,theres been a time or two where shes been right and theres been three or four times that I've been right I'm still the leader of this team.

If Camera di Commercio is the pitstop (white arrow), then it's not far away from the kayak roadblock (green arrow).

Edited to add: More likely, however, given the preference of TPTB to use local monuments as pitstops, another possible candidate for pitstop could be Castello Maniace, a little further from the roadblock, at the very tip of the peninsula.  But we have no vidcaps to back up this guess, whatsoever.

Edited to add GE .kmz file

If the arrow points to where Lake is standing, is that the roof of a building or a parking lot.  If it is at ground level, it would not be possible to get the shot of Lake with the top of the building even with his head.  He must be on top of some structure to get the shot shown. In the other shot of the Camera di Commercio it looks like a piazza is in front of the building.

Google sure is a lot of fun, RJ.  You can usually Google the addresses in a search engine and later find the street name on Google Earth.  Try checking the little box at the bottom of GE that says "Roads", and the street names may overlay on the GE picture.  After that it's just hit and miss, and hours and hours of mind numbing searching.    :lol:

You are a bit confused, gingerman.  The green arrow is pointing to where lake is standing during the Kayak Roadblock, NOT in the post race pitstop picture.  Please go back and check page 7 again.

That makes sense now, can we identify the building?  Is it perhaps the hotel they will be spending their 12 hour mandatory rest period in? That's where the confessionals usually take place.

"Sleep Deprivation Is Really Starting To Irritate Me" --
Tensions mount and the stress of the race takes its toll on several teams who get lost while trying to find their next clue in Sicily
While racing through the ancient streets of Sicily, teams choose between a detour where they must either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in a busy open-air market, or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile through a congested part of the city in order to receive their next clue.
Teams are also faced with a roadblock that requires one team member to score a goal in the popular Italian sport of "Kayak Polo" while competing against a team of professional players

Over at Google Video, TAR has been credited so far to "amazing race productions." But the Ep 6 preview is credited to "Bellisarius productions/Paramount." I'm not sure if that means anything or it's just a typo.

The entire promo at end of Survivor tonight was to plug the change in day and time.  Starting next week TAR will be on WEDNESDAY at 8:00PM.  Softer competition at the new hour, and may pull in people (very young and very old) who find the 10:00PM hour too late to watch.

We have the hotel down to a gnat's wisker.  Bingo Boingo!! But this is location of the rest period (eat and sleep and hot showers!) Actual pit stop may be on the mat in front of the Castello Maniace at the end of Isola di Ortigia or even the Duomo, but I think that the castle is more isolated and a place at which it would be easier to control crowds.

The question remains: how do the teams travel from Segesta to Catania?  Do they go direct or through somewhere else such as Agrigento?

Driving it would take about 3 and a half hours to cover the approximate 200 miles via A29 to Palermo and A19 across the island to Catania.  And if the last team  arrived (Raylanda) at about 7:00PM, they would have a hard time getting to the fish market in Catania while it was still open (5AM to 11AM).

A bus wouldn't be much faster since they would have to drive to the bus station in Palermo first.  Does anyone know the SIAS bus schedulre?

Another possibility (and TPTB have often done this) is to have one or two or three CHARTER flights from the airport in Palermo or in Trapani leaving at 7, 7:30 and 8; this would be a nice time to bunch up the teams again since the leaders are getting further and further ahead something TPTB  do not condone!!!

I'm just putting up this other picture of the water polo area. It's a different angle pointing towards where Tyler is standing (almost). You can just see all the way left and below the little red car that there are steps down to the water. You can see these steps to the left of Tyler. Also Eric's shot may have been taken from the steps since it is an upshot of him.

There are some streets around central Catania that have colored tiles set at an angle; the example below (source (http://web.tiscali.it/andreacatania/catania/gallery/)), Via Etnea, is a little too wide for the R/Y cap, but I think it's close by.

If there was a FF, do you think that they would go for it being so far behind?  I figure, if I'm not one of the first teams, it's already been taken.  Unless they are all bunched together somehow and on an even playing field. ???

Post by: gator27 on March 31, 2006, 06:38:51 AM
Where (time and location) do we think the FF will occur?

For maximum advantage, the FF should occur right at the beginning of the leg.  Getting a FF in Catania might not be a big advantage because it is realtively close to the Pit Stop in Siracusa.  I am thinking the FF is near Palermo.

Teams must know how far ahead (or behind) they are because they see each other at the Pit Stop.  The Frat boys and Hippies should realize that a FF is not in their best interest right now because they each have a strong lead.  Of course they do not know the Pit Stop is on the other side of Sicily.

Oh-Oh! maybe it's CBS misdirection. It happened before. But maybe it's really not a NEL. I mean, they're really trying to surprise us this season, with the TBC episode in the beginning of the race, for instance.

And I'm not so sure about a FF in this leg now.

the way I see it, there's no FF. 2 legs or 2 episodes in the same country means tptb wants to eliminate another team before heading to another country. in tar7, Susan/Patrick got eliminated in the 2nd leg of Argentina. Alex/Lynn got eliminated in the 2nd episode of India. in tar6, Gus got eliminated in the 2nd episode of Hungary. Hayden/Aaron got eliminated in the 2nd leg of China. The 2nd leg or the 2nd episode was designed like that to eliminate a team.

Since Eric and Jeremy are still wearing light jackets when they seem to be searching for a clue at the Roman Amphitheatre in the Piazzo Stesicoro in Catania, I would surmise that it is shortly after sunrise when the temperatures even in November are still bearable (note how everyone is striped down to tank tops, etc. in the Mercato della Pescheria and in Siracusa. 

I will make a wild guess and say that the teams are given a clue at the Temple of Segesta (pit stop) that they are to drive to the airport in Trapani and sign up for a charter flight to Catania on ApliEagles (a charter airline group)  Flights might leave as early as 6:30AM (sunrise) which would get them to Catania airport where they have to pick up cars again and locate the Roman Amphiteatre in Piazzo Stesicoro for their next clue.  This clue would send them to the Mercato della Pescheria which is located on Via Garbaldi near the

Post by: gingerman28 on March 31, 2006, 03:29:30 PM
OK, I got myself frozen out above, so will continue:

Via Garibaldi which leads down to the Duomo. 

CBS ran commercials all last night for TAR and I finished reviewing them and have found some more interesting things to ponder:

1. Shot of MO/JO leaving the Segesta Temple in the darkness of early morning (5:00AM?) They are wearing their jackets and have their backpacks on.  He is carrying blue route info card.  So are going down hill to car park and then off to where?  Trapani and a charter flight to Catania?

2.  Two scenes with Eric and Jeremy.  Both are wearing light jackets and in the first scene there are no sun shadows as the run around an old stone wall blackened with age.  In this scene neither has a backpack (left in the car?) and neither is holding a yellow or blue clue in their hand.  In a later shot, Eric and Jeremy are at a gate to some piazza, the sun is now shining and Eric is now holding a yellow clue enverlope in his hand.  Must surmise that they got the clue at the first location (old Roman ruins of some sort in or around Catania) and they look through the gate and then turn and start off again, so it looks like this is not the location they are looking for.

3.  New scenes of Jeremy picking up swordfish with Green Shirt of Eric just on the frame line; Scene of Eric and Jeremy walking down street lined with fish stalls, which changes as the title is supered to show MO/JO coming down the same street.

4.  Scene of Yolanda struggling with fish.  This task should be a snap for Ray who carried a 110 pound bell of the stairs and across the plaza to the church with any help.

5.  We now have confirmed six teams doing the DETOUR:

Selling fish - Fran and Barry.  Also scene of Barry jumping with joy and laughing so it probably did not take them long to complete this task.

Carring fish - MO/JO  (Jo is having trouble)
                  Eric/Jeremy
                  Ray/Yolanda
                  BJ/Tyler
                  Michelle/Lake

The only team unaccounted for at the detour iis David and Lori

6.  Scene of David and Lori on the street somewhere. He is wearing black tee and she is in pink tee with red sweater.  No sun so it could be early morning.  She is carrying Yellow clue envelope; he is carrying white sheets of paper (background information for a task???)

7.  Shot of Ray and Yolanda on a street.  Low angle sun, long shadows, to me means early morning.  They are carrying yellow route enverlope.  If they are on Via Orlando they are far from either the Amphitheater at Piazza Stesicoro or the Merecado della Pescheria on Via Garibaldi.

8. At the ROADBLOCK we can now account for the following teams:

     Fran and Barry
     Eric and Jeremy
     Lake and Michelle
     BJ and Tyler
     Ray and Yolanda

Missing are:

     Mo and Jo
   
     David and Lori (again)

9.  If there is a Fast Forward, it now looks like the only team to be able to take it are the Nerds.  In the past, the FF is included with the first task either Detour or Roadblock.  Thus the team taking the FF only skips one task before going directly to the pit stop.  In the first two or three TARS, teams could go for the FF right off the bat and skip two tasks. Doubt that a Yield will show up again in this Ep since there are only two during the entire race.

10. One other curious thing: in none of the shots of people on the street, doing tasks, or watching do we see any of the teams with their backpacks where they are supposed to be: on their backs.  This leads me to believe that they are again driving cars and have left the packs in the cars.  When teams in the past travel by taxi they almost always are shown taking out or putting in backpacks when the enter or leave cars. The only shot of a team with backpacks on is the shot of MO/JO leaving the Segesta Temple in the early morning.

Looking again at the commercials in the light of day (the real ones!) it almost shows clearly that some teams are approaching the fish market when it is still fairly early in the day.  Note the scenes of Ray and Yolanda on the street with very long shadows and with the sun in their faces; the shot of Yolanda carrying the swordfish and the sun is shining right into her eyes; the silhouette of two people carrying swordfish which appear to be the Hippies, with again very long low angle shadows, and finally the scene of Eric and Jeremy (not the first one when they are running around a black, stone wall, but the one at the gate) you can see that the "park, square, piazza, whatever) is in shadow and the sun is coming from the left and lights the building up to the right completely.  So the boys must be at the gate on the north side looking south with the sun coming from the east.

The only way as far as I can determine for all these teams, especially Rayanda who arrived at the pit stop at about 7:00PM, to get to Catania while it is still early or mid-morning is to fly there from Palermo or Trapani. Most likely by pre-arranged charter flights scheduled by TPTB to leave at pre-determined hours of 6:00, 7:00 and 8:00AM.  This would bunch the teams up somewhat with BJ/Tyler, Eric/Jeremy and MO/JO on the first flight; Fran/Barry, Lake/Michelle, on the second flight and Dave/Lori and Ray/Yolanda on the last flight.

There is still another possibility, way out but not out of all possibility, is that the teams have to drive somewhere else first, this could be around Mt. Etna, or in Agrigento, or Villa Imperiale del Casale, do tasks we have no knowledge of and then continue on to Catania and are all bunched up waiting for the fish market to open at 5:00AM.  Thus they have to spend another night sleeping in the open and leads to someone saying "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me!"

So again Eirc and Jeremy and BJ and Tyler will pretty much be safe for the fifth week in a row.  I never though i would say this but I WANT BUNCHING BACK!!!  This season has become the lamest season.

We now have Ray playing kayak polo.  But I think that the second shot is not a TAR team member; all of the other shots of TAR people have them in yellow while the " professionals" are always in Red. 

The shot of the two people carrying swordfish in silhouette shadows (lengthy) through process of elimination seem to show that they are Michelle (on the left) and lake on the right.  She is carrying fish with both hands and he has it slung over his shoulder.

One shot really has me stumped for now.  We now have good shots of Eric and Jeremy at the Roman Amphitheatre in Piazza Stesicoro; Eric is carrying yellow clue enverlope and starts to turn away from the gate while Jeremy seems to go throuh the gate and start to descend some steps. Their reaction is that they are looking for something and the Piazza Stesicoro is not the right place.  But in another shot, which seems to be earlier in time, both Eric and Jeremy are shown running around the corner of a black (volcanic?) stone wall.  Neither one is carrying a clue envelope and neither one has a TAR fanny pack either (nor are they wearing their backpacks).  So where are they?  Where do they go first before the Piazza Stgesicoro? Or is the black wall part of the Roman Amphitheatre which is not shown in the overall shot of the piazza which has been shown seperately? The time for both shots seems to be early morning just after sunrise.

Maybe, Chateau can help out on this one.  We have clear shot of Ray and Yolanda (without backpacks) running toward us down a street with very little traffic; this could be Via Etnea which is a semi pedestrain only street with very little traffic; it if is then they are running southeast toward the rising sun.  From the length of the shadow I would estimate that it is about two or three hours after sunrise which would make it between 8:30 and 10:30AM. By the way Via Etnea runs from Piazza Della Borsa site of some Roman Ruins to Piazza Duomo.  Since they are carrying a yellow clue envelope, they may have received it at the Roman ruins and are now proceeding to Piazza Duomo which is at one end of Via Garibaldi site of the fish market.

 Now the BIG guestions are:

1.  How do the teams get from Segesta Temple to Catania?

2.  What time do the teams arrive in Catania?

3.  Is there a Fast Forward? 

4.  Where are David and Lori?

5.  Is this the first NEL Leg?

I posted some pics of the amphitheater a few pages back. These look like the same place to me. Note the railing up top, the palm tree and the same type crumbling walls.

OK G'man, I will try some answers ... or rather opinions.

1.  Even though each team has a car, I say the take charter flights to Catania.  I like the idea of 3 planes leaving 30 minutes apart.  We need a bunching point, and this could be part of the bunching.

2.  Total guess ... 8 am, 8:30 am, 9:00 am.

3.  Yes, we have our first FF.

4.  Dave and Lori are FF hunting.

5.  Lake and Michelle lose all their possessions for our first NEL!

I'm on a roll. Located the exact spot (well, within a few feet) where Fran & Barry were selling fish in the Fish Market in Catania. 

Here is the link to the Fish Market (http://www.tripfoto.com/catania/pictures/food/photos/photo_29.html) photo (I would have posted it, but it's just too large).

Fran & Barry were standing right behind the fat guy with the balloons in the photo linked above (and thumbnail below).  For reference, I included the vidcap below.  Compare the tiled roof in the background and umbrella stalls. (see arrow in vidcap below).

That's it; that's an exact match.  Note the columns and gate at the top with steps leading down. So teams arrive at the gate, go down the stairs, then around the end of the wall (this is where we see the Beach Boys for the first time) back along the stone wall under where the camera is and where the clue box probably is; find the clue and then go back up the stairs and through the gate (this is where we see E/J for the second time and they now have the clue in hand.  This clue I imagine leads them down toward the Piazza Duomo where they find the DETOUR Clue: CASH or CARRY.The tasks are done in the Fish Market along Via Garibaldi which leads off from the Duomo.  What looks like Jeremy starting to go down the stairs again is really that he is reaching over the close the gate again.

This looks like the same street but looking from different ends.  The Dave & Lori view is looking up a street with a slight hill.  The other is looking down a hill.  Note the buildings, the balconies, the shrubbery, the little thingy on the roof, etc.
I think puddin found another one (and didn't even know it).   :woohoo:    :jumpy:

I thought it said Aqua  :lol:

If it is this store it is on Via Etnea and literally around the corner from the amphitheater in Piazza Stescicoro. I thought the clue said they have to carry the fish 1/3 mile, right? Google Earth shows a measurement from the fish market to this point as .45 miles.

Your too much Boingo !! Now if only that street had a name . Search engines are great but somtimes they don't give enough details .
I don't suppose you remember the web page where you found the photo.  It may contain additional info on the scene.    ;)

I thought the clue said they have to carry the fish 1/3 mile, right?

According to Google Earth, the fish market is .39 miles from Piazza Stescicoro.  Ya think?

I suppose there should be a restaurant somewhere near the Moda Group location, which should be the actual delivery spot.

There are alot of restaurants but if you narrow down to seafood specialties, then the Una Hotel Palace is a little further down on Etnea. Google has it as 1/2 mile from the market to the hotel. Might be a little too far if the clues are correct.

Looks like I may have found a match of puddins pictures and a vidcap of Lori & Dave running.

This looks like the same street but looking from different ends.  The Dave & Lori view is looking up a street with a slight hill.  The other is looking down a hill.  Note the buildings, the balconies, the shrubbery, the little thingy on the roof, etc.
I think puddin found another one (and didn't even know it).   :woohoo:    :jumpy:

Wow, I think I got a "hat trick" tonight.  I may have found the street name and location where Dave & Lori are running.  It looks like the intersection of Via Antonino di Sangiuliano and Via Etnea.  Dave & Lori are runniing north on Via Etnea towards the Piazza Stesicoro (amphitheatre).

I've attached an older view of the corner, plus a Google Earth view.

 :martini: What will it be  Boingo ? .... a  Sarsaparilla  or a nice White Russian ?

So what do you think ? Nerds running clue in hand ( Dave has a white paper , Lori the yellow envelope ) , perhaps looking for the Piazza Stesicoro amphitheatre to find the next clue to lead them to the detour ( or as some spec they snag the  Fast Forward ?), Lori is still wearing a light sweatjacket so its early morning with the sun peeking over the buildings ?
Really I have no idea  :present: , why is Lori still carrying the yellow envelope ?

You've got it, Puddin. The typeface looks the same, and this cached page (http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:esY_9vlCpgIJ:frette.alcheragroup.com/publ_neg.asp+frette+catania&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=6) lists the local address as Via Etnea 49.

Agree, looks like a match.  I'm just as confused about where the Nerds are going as you are.  Are they going to use the FF when they get to the amphitheatre?  Are they coming from the fish task?  Why don't we see them doing any fish tasks?  Why are the beach bums the only ones seen at the amphitheatre?  Where are R&Y going?  So many questions left to answer.  Oh well, at least we solved one additional vidcap mystery.     :angel:
Oh yeah, I'll have a Manhattan, straight up.      :martini:

I don't know what's going on either. According to GE it should be a straight shot: down the hill on Etnea from the ruins (we get to hear Phil say "am-pee-theater" again), through the piazzas and into the alley (Puddin's upper-level photo) that leads to the fish market. Instead, the nerds are hanging a left at Giuliano (second arrow). There might be a different task, or maybe they're getting lost.

Speaking of strange things, where is Yolanda carrying her fish ???  I think located where Yolanda is in the vidcap below.  She appears to be going south on Via Crociferi through the arch (black arrow) and into Piazza S.Francesco d'Assisi.  Thats the church behind the construction wall.

Why would she be running south toward to fish market with a swordfish ???  This is truly strange.  Perhaps they are really really LOST!   (:;)

Aren't they running NORTH on Via Etnea past the "Frette" store toward Piazza Stasicoro?       :dunno:

OK, I'm confused! Which street is which in the photos you posted.  Are Nerds on Via Etnea and crossing Via Antonio di San Giuliano? If they are coming from the fish market after completing the detour, they would not be going after the fast forward.  But I think that they may be coming now down Via Etnea after picking up the clue at the Roman Amphitheatre in Piazza Stesicoro.  And still may be headed away from the fish market (Mercato della Pescheria) which is located in Via Garibaldi between The Fontana dell'Amenano  in the Piazza Alonzo di Benedetto and Porta Garibaldi

If the Nerds are turning LEFT from Via Etnea onto Via Antonio di San Giuliano, they may be headed for the Tourist Information Office which is right around the corner. Or just down Via Antonio di San Giuliano is located Palasso Manganelli whch was used as the setting for some of scenes in Luchino Visconnti's film The Leopard  This might be the site of the FF and have something to do with the making of the film.

I've attached an older view of the corner, plus a Google Earth view.

As I read all of the above and look at the pictures, to me it is clear that the Nerds our beloved David and Lori have run south down Via Etnea from Piazza Stesicoro (note that it is one way UP the hill) and have now turned left into Via Antonino di San Giuliano.  They have picked up the clue at the Roman Amphitheatre and are either (1) completely lost heading away from Piazza Alonzo di Benedetto and the Mercato della Pescheria (being lost would not be new) or (2) more likely in my view, they are headed toward Palazzo Manganelli to perform the Fast Forward.  Note that they along with all the other teams are not hauling their backpacks.  To me this means they have parked cars somewhere and are doing all the tasks in Catania on foot. 

I think that after the Detour, they will return to their cars and head south to Siracusa and the Kayak club.

Talking of cars, I have checked and doubled checked the shots of Barry in the car and as far as I can tell the car we see him in the promos for EP6 is not exactly the same as the one he was driving in Palermo.  Close but it sure looks like the headrest in both cars is of a different color, and the door handles seem different.  This to me again tells me that they must have flown from Palermo to Catania and picked up new Fiats at the airport.

OK kids, it's Reality Check Time!

It happens every week, we take two steps forward and one step back.  Round and round we go, where we stop nobody knows.  ;D

Just to let everyone know, the vidcap of Dave & Lori (shown below) shows a view in the background of Via Anotnino di Sangiuliano looking directly WESTNote slight hill going up the street

So......that means Dave & Lori are running NORTH on Via Etnea.   OK, back to square one.   ???

(http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR9_Promo2/TAR_Promo6/misc/th_pudrff0005.jpg) (http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR9_Promo2/TAR_Promo6/misc/?action=view&current=pudrff0005.jpg)

You can check the elevation (slope) of Via Antonino di Sangiuliano for yourself on Google Earth.  Just run the cursor along the street and see the elevation change at the bottom.

Sorry, but we seem to shoot ourselves in the foot every week.  Lucky we have an extra day to recover.   ;)

Poor puddin....the "whipping boy" for the board.  :lol3:  Not much left, except ID of where Ray & Yolanda are running, and where BJ&T are carrying their fish.

Here, have a cookie and stop pouting.  :food:

IMHO, I don't think we have enough info to say what D&L are doing/going.  The simple answer might just be that they just arrived in Catania, and are heading for their first clue.   Anything else is pure speculation.

Agreed Boingo , just not enough evidence either way what the Nerds are doing ,last week Fran & Barry were hidden from all tasks and it meant nothing , the week before the Dees were invisable from all tasks , the week before I believe the Nerds we're invisable as well as the Dee's so were reading to much into the invisable thingy .

"Sleep Deprivation Is Really Starting To Irritate Me" --
Tensions mount and the stress of the race takes its toll on several teams who get lost while trying to find their next clue in Sicily
While racing through the ancient streets of Sicily, teams choose between a detour where they must either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in a busy open-air market, or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile through a congested part of the city in order to receive their next clue.
Teams are also faced with a roadblock that requires one team member to score a goal in the popular Italian sport of "Kayak Polo" while competing against a team of professional players

why is the pro wearing long pants and a black t-shirt ? but I am wondering about the blackman cause he has on long yellow sleeves like this man behind Barry (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7351/pudrff00986op.th.jpg) (http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pudrff00986op.jpg)

Cued up the videotape from Saturday and looked again at the PinP.  First it does look like Ray in the yellow outfit.  But the one with the red helmet can only be Joseph IF indeed it is  Joseph.  Jeremy has a black tee shirt but is wearing white long shorts; David had a black tee shirt but is wearing tan pants.  But if it is Joseph why is he in a yellow kayak wearing a red helmet and using a white paddle?  Everyone else you can see is wearing yellow hats, yellow vests,in yellow kayaks using black paddles.  Or is wearing red hats, red vests, in red kayaks using black paddles.  Also I cannot spot the silver bracelet Joseph was wearing in the fish market on his right wrist.  My guess now is that this fellow is a "demonstrator" showing what is to be done while Phil explains the Roadblock.

I really think its Joesph in the red Gman , maybe the colors are random ? say theres another team there with Jo , and they are in yellow so they put Jo in red ? The man in yellow sure could be Ray but im not convinced as Ray is wearing a black tank top in earlier vidcaps ..was he cold and asked to borrow a long sleeveyellow shirt or did he smell like fish and ask to borrow a clean shirt ? " I dunno "  :lol: I'll shut up now .

Just noticed that in the pix of BJ carrying the fish, he is passing a building with the Number 4 so wherever it is it must be at the beginning of the street.  The Frette Building was listed as NO. 49, I think, on Via Etnea. So if he is on Via Etnea he is a long way down near the Piazza A d Benedetto where the fish market is. What is the address for the suggest restaurant Una Hotel Palace?

In Siracuse the pit stop might be at the Temple of Appolo in the Piazza Pancali as you enter Ortygia.  This is oldest Doric temple in Western Europe (c. 6th Century BC) And it is only about 300 meters from the kayak site.  The other historical posibility is the Castello Maniace but that is at least a good mile's walk from the canoe polo grounds.

So if David and Lori are indeed headed NORTH on Via Etnea they really are lost.  And from their expression it sure looks like.

Getting to doubt more and more that there is a FF.  Usually by this time, TPTB have given some hint about the FF.   Still a good posibility that it may be NEL and the Nerds are saved by the bell once again!

Just to confuse everyone a little more than we are all confused now.

Found a good map in The Green Guide for Sicily, and it shows that the Palazzo San Demetrio (the building in which the Frette Store is located) is situated on the SOUTHWEST corner of Via Etnea and Via Antonio San Giuliano.  If this is correct, then David and Lori are on Via Etnea going north but then turn WEST into Via A. San Giuliano.  If this is the case they may be headed to the wrong Amphitheatre and are going toward the Greek Teatro Antico.

Apparently this "Frette" store moves around more than the "traveling cluebox".   :lol:
It's gone from the Northeast corner (puddin), to the Northwest corner (boingo), to the Southeast corner (gingerman) of Quattro Conti.  Anyone want dibs on the remaining Southeast corner?    :snicker:

OK, confusion rules!  I've been saving the "doomsday" option for just such an occasion.  According to the composite picture I crafted from photos on the web, the "Frette" store is described to be on the Northwest corner of Quattro Conti in the Palazzo S. Demetrio (see composite photo below).  The same photo shows the southwest corner, the Via Antonino di Sangiuliano (west) between them and the Via Etnea going off to the right (north).  Talk about confusion.

I am just the messenger, so don't blame me for what I find on the web.  So if D&L are seen by the Frette sign, then they have already crossed Via Antoninno and are on the northwest corner of Quattro Conti. (Don't know why, and frankly, don't care).  Here we go again.   :knuckles:

Also Google Earth view of buildings matches features in photos.

You too quick for me, Puddin'  But the TES promos have usually been 100% accurate in the past when they do not mention a TAR castoff of the next day's TES.  So unless they are throwing us another ringer of a TBC, we will have our first NEL tonight.  And will TPTB also follow tradition for the Fifth Leg and also include the first FF tonight??????

Could it be? I went back to looking for restaurants in the area. This time I saw they had a grilled fish category and the first restaurant that popped up was:

TRATTORIA SANGIULIANO
95131 Catania (CT) - 207, v. A. di Sangiuliano

By the shortest path it is exactly .30 miles from the fish market! But the most direct path brings you down Via Etnea and turns right onto guess what street? Via Antonio di Sanguiliano! So you would turn at the corner with the Frette store.  :jumpy:

If that is where they bring the fish would they also have the FF there? Maybe where the nerds are heading???? Do we finally know which direction they are heading? Remember, TPTB love to flip shots just to confuse us!!  (:;)

So why is Yolanda carrying her fish way over on Via Crociferi  in Piazza S.Francesco d'Assisi?  That's nowhere near the Frette store (Quattro Conti).  BTW, D&L aren't carrying any fish in any previews.  Nice try.

The best part about this forum is most people are usually open minded and don't try to diss someones work with two little words.

I don't know why Yolanda is carrying her fish way over there. Here are some options:
1. They are lost
2. You're wrong
3. I'm wrong

Either way, this is all theory. If we don't put it out there nothing would get solved.

And yes, I know D&L aren't carrying fish thats why I was asking if they might also have the FF where other teams are bringing fish.

I'm still torn between them or the Nerds last place if no FF or NEL.

What's this I hear?  (:;)  Nobody trusts anything they see on CBS?  And when will they add Phil's blog about ep 5?

Perhaps this is all a scam to get us to watch "Out of Practice" which has been a ratings disaster. :groan:

I didn't see Lake/Michelle, or was I getting Michelle confused with Monica?  Maybe the FF is next week, and either D/L or L/M go for it?  Though it's hard for me to imagine that one of the front-running teams wouldn't go for it.

We have scenes of Michelle and Lake doing the CARRY DETOUR.  We have scenes of Lake rooting on Michelle in the kayak during the ROADBLOCK.  We have scenes of both Mo and Jo doing the CARRY DETOUR.  The team that has not been seen at all except for one street scene are The Nerds.  So if anyone is going to do a FAST FORWARD, the only team that would do it would be David and Lori

Sorry Gman, I was replying to puddin's post about next week's vidcaps, with L/D MIA.  I just wondered if L/M were MIA from next week too..

...and I just saw the quote from Lake/Michelle in next week's promo.

Argh, that quote was from the Russian diving pool!  Sorry, I'll just let the experts do this... :)

Sorry, I doubt that we will here it here first, there is no way Lake/Michelle (The Evil Ones) can take the FF since we have video of them in both the Detour (CARRY) and the Roadblock (Canoe Polo).

The only team than could take the FF, if there is one, is the Nerds since we do not see them in either the Detour tasks or in the Roadblock task.  If there is a FF, it means you can do it (instead of the first task usually, but not always, the Detour) and then skip the Detour and the Roadblock and go directly to the Pit Stop.

And that goes for Eric and Jeremy for the same reasons:  we have them on tape doing the Detour (CARRY) and doing the Roadblock (Canoe Polo).

"Dancing Phil"    :lol3:

Well at least the loose ends are cleaned up.  All the teams (except B&F) carried the fish SOUTH through Piazza S. Francesco di Assisi to the fish market, and D&L returned to the parked car after the fish market task by going back NORTH on Via Etnea (past Frette) after buying a map in either Piazza Duomo or Piazza University.  Talk about over analysing.   :hearts:

On to Greece guys.    :jam:

Well, I was wrong. I thought the polo teams would play dead  :killme:, but it was worse than that; they just tossed the ball to the racers and waited for them to shoot. The Fran/Barry salesmanship looks a little suspect as well; they were making little progress, then suddenly (uninterested looking) buyers lined up and they sold out quickly.

insidepulse  :tup:

BJ and Tyler, who were the first team to arrive at 2:29pm, are the first team to depart at 2:29am. They're told to travel 135 miles to Catania (on the other side of the island). Their goal is the ruins of Anitearo Romano, a 2000 year old amphitheatre. They talk trash about the Frat Boys and make fun about their inability to pronounce "Catania".

Eric and Jeremy, 4:11am. They talk trash about the Hippies - you can tell it's all in good fun.

We have some very good shadow shots when the teams reach the pits top at Fonte Aretusa, can Chateau figure some times out for us, especially when E/J arrive first and R/Y arrive last.  Would help in figuring out departure times for tomorrow morning.  I estimate that E/J arrived at about 11:00AM (maybe even as early as 10:30AM depending on how fast they drove from Catania to Siracusa.  My estimate for the last arrival is 2:00PM.  But the shadows seem to be too long for these early hours.My Michelin map is all screwed up also since it has the Fonte Aretusa on the west side of the island of Ortygia and if the map is correct, then the arrival times would be in late afternoon and not late morning.  But with the amount of time spent starting at 8:30AM when the Roman Theatre opened, this would mean too much time taken by the tasks in Catania. So I think the Green Book map is wrong.

If anyone is interested the answers to the pop quiz are:

No. 1
d.  Drive 235 miles to Catanina (I think Phil said it wrong as he said 135 miles; if he is right, then Michelin Guide is wrong again!)

No. 2
a. Going north on Via Etnea

No. 3
e. None of the above.  The pitstop was at the Fonte Aretusa which is half way between the polo pond and the Castello.

Wow this was a lame ass episode.  for the sake of the race they need to bring back bunching.   I mean bunching was never bad until it became so exaggerated like with LB the internaet cafe oppening at 3:oo in the moring and not in the afternoon.  But this season its just so boring.

What stands out to me is that the Hippies and Frat boys passed each other on the same road in Segesta.

According to my reckoning; the Hippies arrived at the Roman Amphitheatre at appoximately 5:30AM and it was still dark but they had to wait until 8:30AM when the place opened.  The Beach Boys left at 4:11 and arrived at the ruins at about 7:15AM just after sunrise.  So the first two teams started out together in Catania at 8:30AM.  The next team -MO/JO- arrived about 9:00AM and as they left the theatre to pick up the swordfish they passed the first two teams returning to the parking spot at the theatre so the time is now about 9:15AM.  Thus the Hippies and the Beach Boys maintained their lead all day, and probably finished up at the pit stop at about noon or a little after.

Well, BJ & Tyler's check in time of 2:29 pm is kind of close to the late side of the range I estimated (1:24 to 2:22 pm) for Eric & Jeremy on the path up to the theater.  That was shot when Eric & Jeremy spotted BJ & Tyler going up the hill of the Temple.

Chateau:  see my post above (289).  Any chance you can perform your miracle time estimates (I think it is remarkable that you came within one minute of predicting the Hippies arrival at the pit stop in Segesta) for the arrival of the teams at the pit stop in Siracusia?  Very good shadow informtion, but my Michelin map seems to be off with the Fonte Aretusa being on the west side of the island, while the shadows seem to put it on the east side of the island.
