Two things that rule out a FF for me are:

1. D/O already took a FF (something tells me Mary didn't know what she was talking about in the interview)
2. This is strongly suspected to be a TBC, which wouldn't leave in room for a FF.

They probably just take the second detour option or something.

Michael, Mary did say they could have went for the FF at the intersection that the Models & Rob/Kim took but still I just don't think the Car/Rollover is the Fast Forward  and will go with it being the other detour option but I could be wrong, lol.
Jeffs Survivor preview was up early last night so we can keep our fingers crossed that Phil's will be up tonight.

annie!! fantastic detailed maps /Location Summaries  :roses: :gj:

PS, I have a dumb question:

Has Erica (the one who uses her myspace as casting: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=147073693) ever had any contestants from TAR as her friend before the show started airing...maybe we could find some of our TAR12 cast once spoilers start going around!!

That was Marlee but it was after the Turku train pictures were spoiled but still it was great detective work.

oh, yeah, it was still a good job!

I loved the Kuwait and Train spoilers we got from TAR10 for some reason, I remember they got me really excited about TAR again..I wasn't really that into TAR9 after MOJO got eliminated :(

OK, back to something remotely on topic!!

In the preview you saw of Charla kicking down the door was Mirna any where to be seen? If not then that is more then likely the road block! I just assumed that since climbing a bamboo wall and then kicking down a door all kung fu like all seems like the same thing, it was one detour option! Maybe not..

How about Kung-Fu in 2 parts.  The first part, teams climb the bamboo is for 2 people.  The door kicking, after the climb, is the Roadblock part.

But what about the Cha's? If the car crash is the other detour option then how do they advance to the top of the floor?

I'm guessing C/M have completed the detour here

Okay, I think that in TAR10 they were allowed to do the 2nd FF even if the team had claimed the 1st FF BECAUSE the Intersection/FF was the 2nd/last FF and they didn't want to make it to where one team wouldn't be able to go for it because they were stuck with someone who had already claimed it.

However, this time the roles are reversed and the  Intersected FF was before the regular so that is why I think that you can't claim the FF twice in this like you could in TAR10.

I think I'm going to agree with you Michael that the door kicking is a Roadblock. Remember that Charla has to do three of the last four roadblocks, so if the door kicking is to be done by one person from each team in the Detour (assuming that there's only one door to kick), then why didn't Mirna do the kicking? Plus, in that shot of Kandice she wasn't wearing any harness-allowing jacket or whatever it's called, and I think if it was the first part of the Detour she would have already worn it. If it was after the pole climbing, then that's another story. She could have removed it after the climbing task was done.

If anyone from our HK investigators can ID what Kandice is holding here, it's very much appreciated. An emblem, perhaps? Maybe the Roadblock is find something that matches to this emblem?

Great job so far, everyone, especially to our HK investigators. :wohoo:

I think this is not going to be a TBC leg cause werent Oswald and Danny spotted in Guam? So it wouldnt make any sense to do this TBC leg and have it be a NEL, cause after Hong Kong, teams would got o Macau, and that would be the NEL pitstop before guam... Its just what I think....

I googled up Bruce Lee (because guys.....he WAS kung fu....you can look it up) & Bamboo & found some interesting items:

www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15922063/


- A new (large) Amusement park is being HONORING BRUCE in a the Chinese city of Shunde (near Hong Kong)
- Shunde was his ancestral home (he was actually born in SF).
- This city is also known for its BAMBOO (& as a Mfg center).
- Bamboo is often used for scaffolding (at least in this town, but probably elsewhere)
- Bamboo was a often used as weapon in Bruce Lee's movies.
- I think most of Bruce's movies were filmed in Hong Kong.
- With video Games etc. Bruce's memory lives.  (Even though he died in 1973)
& btw....Bruce Lee was the MAN.  :hero:


& any male in my generation would go out of his way to honor him, maybe there are some Bruce / Kung Fu / Bamboo etc. tasks?

The roadblock probably has to do with looking through rooms (smashing doors) for chinese symbols, which will probably be the name of the place they have to go or their next clue. ???

Yeah, that or maybe each team has to pick one colour and search a building for a certain amount of the same symbols...

That's a good idea!

Maybe it is not "what is Kandice going to do with that sign"  but "how many more of those does she need to find"!

Does that look like a symbol for somewhere/something to you HK guys? (and did I say how glad we are that you all are here playing??   :hearts:)

But why would they make a TBC leg a NEL leg? That would not be cool. But you might be right.
