If Kandice does it that means she would have done the last three RB, AND she did the mysterious edited out RB in poland, because she was wearing a life jacket, so that would make her RB count 6...

EP3 - Fish, EP4 - Letters, EP7 - Edited out one, EP9 - Bike, EP10 - Kung-Fu, EP11 - Jump..

I don't think the deal would be D/K agreeing to let E/D go up first because why would they do that...if they are first in line already then they wouldn't have to worry about being yielded..

Okay so Dustin does it--maybe that's why she is praying!

And I think the BQ's could be making a deal to let E/D go first so they can get to the mat first and avoid the 30 minute penalty. As in "we don't have our yield anymore but if you'll yield ____________ (insert name) we will let you do the Roadblock first so you can get to the Mat and avoid the penalty". It isn't much of a deal if they still have to run around and do a Detour too--too many chances for trouble. And Jill said it was a "very smart" thing to do....

See?? That's why I think it is Yield>>Roadblock at the Tower>>Mat

Sups your a riot  :lol3:!!
OK so maybe the tickets/Yield is after the Roadblock before the Detour?  :lol:
D/O & the BQ's should realistically be at the Towers first..followed by C/M & E/D.
Maybe..

 :lol:  FWIW, while we're all waiting for Sunday's episode, here's a comment from "Debbies" blog about her Macau Tower jump.

Ready, Set, Jump
Okay, now let's go jump off a building. Head towards Macau Tower, the tallest UFO-on-a-stick looking thing around. Starting in 2005, Macau Tower became the latest playground of bungee jumping pioneer AJ Hackett. Hackett installed the world's highest commercial decelerating-descent Sky Jump. (a.k.a a terrifying/peaceful cross between bungee jumping and skydiving) I suited up in LA prison break fluorescent orange and donned the suspiciously dainty carabiners (clips) that connect you to your lifeline- a super thick cable. Then I walked, smiling bravely, out onto a platform 233 meter in the air. My smile froze. It was really really really windy so everything sways- cable, platform, tower, you, and your innards. People down below look like ants. No . . . fleas. Below you are skyscrapers. Did you get that? BELOW you are skyscrapers. Anyway, I jumped. You free fall till the cable kicks in, and they pause you in midair to take a picture (would I make that up?!). You smile and give an obligatory "thumbs up," and then they drop you AGAIN. And you scream AGAIN. But this time you float Superman style, totally secured by your two-inch carabiners and your one-foot thick cable. Amazing. Afterwards, I did the Skywalk X, which I hasten to say is scarier than the jump. You walk around a circular platform with no railings, still 233 meter in the air, and do all sorts of daring tricks for your guide to take pictures of. The Skyjump costs $75. The Skywalk X costs only $25. Both include a photo and certificate of completion. Videos and t-shirst are available at extra cost. Macau Tower, Largo da Torre de Macau, Macau, SAR; Tel.: (853) 933 339, Email: info@macautower.com.mo.

Lets try this again  :lol:

Something might equalize the teams  to bunch them up around the Ferry? Maybe they have to wait for HofOperation to get the clue that sends them to the ferry from HK to Macau?
After the ferry arrives in Macau, BQ's first ones off recieve a clue "warning Yield ahead", the Yield/Clue box is located in a store? gift shop? and has the DETOUR clue options in i? Maybe thsi is where the equalizer is? Waiting for the shop to open? Why are the teams just standing around the Ferry Terminal?
Anyway the BQ's already used their Yield but can be yielded again. They come up with a plan to Bribe Eric & Dee ...pretend they are " running like they are in last place" hoping that E/D are faster to the Yield/Detour clue ahead of C/M & D/O.
Whats in it for E/D? The BQ's perhaps tell them that if they both make it to the Pitstop at the same time they will let E/Dee step on ahead of them because of E/Dee's 30 minute penalty? But will the BQ's keep the dea or notl? hmmm, something tells me no. Eric doesn't like the Yield Queens for some reason?  :knuckles:
And perhaps C/M generous offer to O/D is that they won't Yield them? or might offer them some $$ ? Really I don't know?

Back to the Yield, lets say O/D are the team that are shocked that they have been Yielded by E/Dee.

E/Dee, C/M, BQ's proceed to the Rol Detour as O/D wait out the Yield.
We see at least 2 teams, BQ's & C/M together rolling noodles .. we can't see E/Dee, they might be there too? or could have already finished ( waiting for a higher resolution video to see if we can spot a work station being dirty but complete )
O/D on their way to their Detour option, Row now..

After the Detour teams get the clue that sends them to the Roadblock/ Towers. Maybe this is where they have to drive the funny cars?
All we see is Charla performing the RB but we could assume that its Danielle/Dustins/ & Oswald's? turns?

Who gets to the Roadblock first is unknown? Your guess is as good as mine but really feel that O/D are last to arrive at the pitstop whether it be a NEL or TBC ior some think a regular Elim is still in the air.

My guess
1st) E/Dee ( or second? 30 minute penalty)
2nd) BQ's ( but are they first because of E/Dees penalty?)
3rd) C/Mirna
Last) Oswald/Danny ( NEL )

That's what I'm thinking as well. Why does he still hate them if they held up their end of the bargain? The way I see it two things happen:

1. d/k just get to the pitstop first and don't wait for E/D
OR
2. BOTH E/D and D/K get to the pitstop first, and since E/D are faster(i think) Eric notices that D/K are trying to beat them to the mat, which pisses him off.

Maybe the teams are waiting in the ferry terminal for their boat to leave?

OH, and about their "racing like we're in last place" comment, I really think they are just referring to the remainder of the race, because when teams are in last place they generally try a lot harder to do well, so this doesn't really mean they came in first place in this leg, it just means they were not eliminated..which is pretty much known already.

Did Phil tell E/D that if they aren't first at the next pitstop they WILL be eliminated, beacause that would imply that this leg is an elimination, wouldn't it?

But when teams get the clue "caution yield ahead" the yield is always at the next place they go to right??? I don't ever remember teams being told yield ahead but the yeild didn't come until much later in the leg.  ???

Good point.. making me do the homework Michael  :lol:?

Phil: Eric & Danielle, you are the last team to arrive .. the good new is this is a non- elimination leg and you are still in the race ..but there is some bad news ..unless you arrive at the next pitstop first you will incur a 30 minute penalty and ultimately that could mean that you are eliminated from the race, so you got work to do.

I recall the BQ's Yielding the Bama's at the Morocco Roadblock . It was HoursOfOperation and the BQ's beat the Bamas to the clue box. The detours came next and the BQ's got lost on the way and were then marked for penalty for coming in LAST ! LOL

 :groan:
bad, bad memories

at that time I hadn't read the Paris spoilers yet (or if I did I forgot) so I was so sure they'd make F3!

I'm really excited to see this episode because I've been saying all along that Eric doesn't like D/K for something, and the yield was someting, but they didn't appear that negative towards each other in the last episode, and if they agree to work together and both teams stick to the plan I don't see Eric hating them.

I see Eric hating the BQ's is because they don't hold up their end of the deal, this making Eric/Dee even more determined to come in first when it COUNTS  :jam:
( Hoping the Eric/Dee haters turn on the BQ's instead   :snicker: )

LOL, why Puddin?

If the "deal" is what keep E/D in the race I can only imagine the amount of haters that D/K will gain if the winners do in fact end up being Danielle and Eric. I'm bracing myself early.

Are we focusing to little on Charla and Mirna here? Why don't we think they are at the front? I know they are seen with D/O but if that is at the beginning of the leg they can easily beat D/K or E/D...they are at the detour at the same time as the BQs

C/M have car problems right? Thats why I think they are 3rd.
also it may turn into a race to the pitstop for first place between the BQ's and E/D and if the Gardens is the Pitstop that might be why Dee falls because shes running so hard to beat the BQ's when they see that the BQ's are trying to out race them?

Well if that's the case Dee falling isn't so good  :snicker:
I thought that was Mirna falling all this time, to quote her, I am so dumb and naive! (sorry, I loved when she said that to R/A)

Because we hate them.

The other reason is when teams are equalized Charla & Mirna have a terribel record (one leg they did well with becuase the picked the faster detour and they had locals navigate for them, put them from last to first).

Dustin & Kandice have a good record with equalizers in being competitive.

Oswald & Danny when equlized have a good record.

And Eric & Danielle ahve a good record with being equzlized.

With part of this leg requiring driving (of which Charla can't and Mirna by her own admission has trouble), and we assume they are the team with problems (though if its the stnadard we have four crappy cars any one could stop working at any moment, it really could be any team).  IF they are the ones with car problems it even makes it harder to follow either cabs or locals, unless they kidnapp a local which they have done a few times.

If you look at the middle pick of Danielle standing with Eric, you see a hint of red. And in the top pics you can see her hair is in pigtails..... I think it's Danielle.  :tup:
