Okay Puddin, I'll bite.

Where was that shot taken?

[puddin]

 :-\ from this album

[Chateau d If]

Thanks Puddin.

From that album, it looks like your shot was taken here at the Mercado Municipal.  I looked closer at it in GE and it turnsout that it does have an ally that matches the sun's direction for the promo of Charla & Mirna doing nail polish.

It looks like the rat Roadblock takes place near the ocean.

This close up of Mirna shows the blue shirt she has on at the rat Roadblock.

I was confused by the blue jacket.

[georgiapeach]

Oh great eye puddin! Nice to have the market found!!

With so few clothes you would think this would be easier!

Charla has on the same shirt for Roadblock, Detour and Pitstop--but she wore that pink sweater to death too!

Mirna's matches for Detour and Roadblock but not for Pit stop--unless she has that on underneath the other blue shirt?

Oh boy oh boy--finally we get to see Charla on wheelies!

I was rewatching the glacier climb--do you think they are working together during the dig? An Intersection of sorts? Looked like four together here and there...

>>Puddin wrote on page 4 (I couldn't find the quote button)Team arrive at the Mastil Crucero A.R.A. General Belgrano,  pitstop EP4 in this order:

1) Oswald/Danny
2) Eric/Danielle
3) Teri/Ian
4) Joe/Bill
5) Dustin/Kandice
6) Uchenna/Joyce
7) Charla/Mirna

Does anybody know the time variances on the various team arrivals on the Phil's mat last week?  Is there enough that is going to give some team(s), especially the first half since they go first, a beneficial head start for this next leg?  Or were they so close together in time they are bunched together on a fairly even starting gate?   

[gingerman28]

Are we ready yet in Ep5 for one of the following:

YIELD?

INTERSECTION?

FAST FORWARD?

TBC?

or

TBC ?

[puddin]

I think its a NEL Gman because we do have pitstop confessionals and the Fort was spoiled as a pitstop way back when we didn't know too much.
Peach I get the feeling that E/D and U/J are just working together at the Glacier/Clue.
And NDIrish no matter when they leave the Ushuaia pitstop I don't think any lead matters as we see all teams pretty much bunched at Rats/Roadblock except Teri/Ian but I suspect they are just out of the camara shots.
Whats still confusing is the clue about Danny and the AIDS march ..other than knowing AIDS day is DEC 1st, we can't find any hard evidence of any so called march in the Maputo area. Chateau spotted the ocean near the Roadblock so maybe we are looking for the so called AIDS march somewhere outside the area 

sharper fwiw ..

[puddin]

I don't know if thats water near the Roadblock..it looks like a hill/Mountain to me?

[attachment deleted by admin]

[puddin]

Maybe its a wall?

[attachment deleted by admin]

[puddin]

Maybe its one of those other forts that I've seen around Mozambique  ?

For instance ..where ever this is

On World AIDS Day, 1 December, Alliance staff members joined Beira citizens, school students, non-governmental, government, community- and faith-based organisations, in a two-hour march to show solidarity in the face of HIV and AIDS. The march takes place on World AIDS Day each year, and culminated in speeches by those involved.

[puddin]

Maybe you can make a connection peach? I have to shovel snow 

[georgiapeach]

Jeez--MORE snow? I feel so bad for y'all....

My azaleas are trying to bloom   

And trust me--I've tried all week to make that connection but--I don't think there is one.

And that fort might be the one on Ilha do Mocambique:

Since there has been no mention of "the latest castoff from The Amazing Race" as a guest on TES Monday, it sure seems to be that we will have our first NEL. 

If it is indeed an NEL will TPTB:

1. Come up with some new scheme?

2. Repeat TAR10's come in first in the next leg or be eliminated?

3..Resort back to surrender all your clothing and money?

4..Resort back, back to just surrender all your money?

5. Resont back, back, back to nothing happening to the last place team?

And since the boot list has Ian and Teri as the next team to go will they come in last this ep and be eliminated in the next, or will Schmirma come in last but come in first next week with Ian and Teri last.

SUNDAY PROGRAM ALERT

The last scheduled tip-off of the NCAA basketball game (UCLA) is at 5:15PM.  The games usually run at least two hours sometimes more.  So the Start of TAR probably will be pushed back (in the East) to around 8:30PM. 

People planning to record should set their timers to begin around 8:15PM and run until 9:45 just to be on the safe side!

[puddin]

farking basketball   !!
Gman if the teams are forced to beg for money in Maputo I will become sick to my stomach ..Mozambique is among one of the poorest countries in the world ...the pictures tell the story 

[Chateau d If]

This shot was taken between 1:31 and 2:02 pm (assumes November 26th).

[Chateau d If]

This shot was taken between 12:09 and 12:46 pm (assumes November 26th).

There is no way that the second group of teams arrived at 1:50 pm as indicated in the show.  Besides it is only a 50 min  flight from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia.  So some time warp is going on here!

And from Chateau d If

Shadows for Uchenna & Joyce you can get arough guess for most of the others.

With a time of 1:30pm to 2:00pm Uchenna & Joyce as ajumping off Point.

Oswald & Danny could be as early as 10:10-10:40 am
Eric & Danielle woud be int hat same time area but perhaps  5 minutes laer.

Teri & Ian who made the 2cd boat, but by there own words say they spent about 40 minutes looking for the routemarker, probably missed the next boat and had to settle for at the earliesta  boat that was 40 minutes behind Danny & Oswlad & Eric & Danielle.  Teri also seemed to feel that she took a long time at the roadblock.

So I would guess 11:00am-11:30am

Joe & Bill finished just briefly before Dustin & Kandicce (you can see them in the Matt Chats) and should be roughly three hours after Oswald & Danny & Eric & Danielle yet about 20 in front of Uchenna & Joyce.

So I would estimate 1:10pm-1:40 pm

Dustin & Kandice at 1:11pm-1:42pm

And then Charla & Mirna who had to wait an addition 20 minutes for their boat.  But its reported that their boat made the trip quickly (most likely due to the large difference in the weight.  Mirna and three average sixed persons plus Charla.  But for Uchenna & Joyce's boat.  You would have 4 racers, and four additional people filming and the driver of the boat.  So their boat should have made up a lot of time.  But part of that time should be lost due to the slower pace Charla would have to keep in the woods.

So for Charla & Mirna I would expect anywhere from 2:00pm-2:40 pm.  

Though Uchenna & Joyce are seen at teh Pit Stop greeting Charla & Mirna.  Either two things happened.

Uchenna & Joyce royally sucked at getting to the Pit Stop in which case subtract about 20 minutes from all the teams times that arrived before them.

Or they hung around longer then usually for either interviews or just to see who would get eliminated.

But it appears that there is a significant bunching point before the glacier event either in travel arrangements or hours of operations since two teams shown working together should have started with a difference of over 3 hours.
