oh ok so it's all stores in the tower that open at 11.

We know the shot of D/K standing infront of Toys R US they are facing the road..maybe waiting to go in. You know, we are all assuming that another team gets to the yield first because of the web clue and "deal with the BQs" but if D/K are there waiting for the store to open, maybe they DO get to the yield first, yet they still manage to convince another team to yield another team.

Can anybody identify the area that Dustin says "it's like we're bribing them not to yield us", because if she says that infront of the toys r us then there is more then likely another team infront of them.

puddin found the ToysRUs store based on the reverse star seen on the awning--which makes me think that we see that awning from inside the store. (And how does she think of these things! Wow!)

Or at least inside the Tower lobby looking at the storefront--how else are we seeing the under/back side of the awning?? Even if it is at a corner like it looks...

But I think the point is is that it re-confirms the Yield Box at the Tower---and TPTB are trying way too hard to make us think that that worried look on their faces is because they think they are being yielded. Smokescreen, anyone? :lol:

I was thinking they are standing outside, see the glass?

To answer Michael on where the BQ's are reading the clue..


This looks like the Macau ferry terminal to me too. (Note blue and white directional signs in the right background.) Looks like that's where they get their first clue.

maybe a corner view so we are looking across the corner to the underside of the awning?  Heck--I don't know! :lol3:


Got to run--see y'all later!

Yeah, but we don't know if they are actually going into the Toys R Us store

Well it is getting close to Christmas so maybe they will pull a Cha Chas and go Shopping  ???

Morning all  :waves:

I think this is the shot Michael is referring to. This is when they say "it's like we are bribing them" and Dustin is folding up something.

Just in back of Dustin's head looks like the ramp that lowers to allow vehicles to enter the Ferry.

Oh heck--who needs to do errands anyway! :lol:

If the first clue at the ferry says "caution, Yield Ahead" then the BQ's are already strategizing then about how to "bribe" another team to help them (maybe with the Yield?)--anyway, maybe before they know for sure which team will be in a position/racing order to help them and before they get to the Tower for sure..  The BQ's should be at least 1-2 hours ahead of E/D at that point based on ferry times.  Unless there was some bunching elsewhere that we haven't seen, of course.

I've watched Phil's Preview several times wearing out the Pause button.

IMO I think BQ's beat C/M in "noodles".  In the video Phil says "For a while now Mirna..." and when he says Mirna there is a view of Charla on the table and if you pause at the right moment you can clearly see a dark haired male with a yellow shirt on talking to a BQ.  Then a few seconds later (about the end of Mirna yelling) it looks like the BQ's are no long using the pole and may be having their work checked.

To me this means that BQ's have finished the task (or a part of it) and are ready to continue on.

Sorry I don't know how to capture the scene.  I know how to save the screen but don't have a program to cut off all of the extras around the video.

Good eye! makz3d!

I use FastStone capture . Slowhatch recommended it and it has worked very well for me--and it is free!

Well, when the BQs are opening their clue "caution yield ahead" it looks a lot darker then the shot where Dustin is saying "it's like we are bribing them not to yield us!" so maybe they have to wait a while for their boat to leave.

You know, I'm thinking C/M, E/D, D/K are all at the detour at the same time, and E/D are either laughing at D/K (doubtful, because they aren't very funny) or C/M..

That yellow person looks like a match!


Is that a window in the top left because if it is you can tell it's dark outside...it could just be another room with the lights off though...but we know 100% that E/D are there in daylight:

Okay--who  :waves: is this Sanchez 12 and WHAT have you done with our BigPapi?? :lol: ??? :lol:


This all makes me think morning Detour with hours of op with the Roadblock/Yield still to come.

Or maybe O/D took the dragon boat Detour because it is closer to the Tower and they were trying to make up time after being Yielded.

I can go either way!

That's what I thought as well even though the video just shows YQ's and C/M. It appears that EDEE are also finished and "The Four Pack" will be on their way to the pit stop.

Michael--that shot is in the ferry terminal in Macau--after they have gotten off the HK to Macau Ferry...

Well--at least the clue reading one is--not 100% sure about the bribe one...

  :waves: Big Papi has been YIELDED  :lol3:

In the preview you can see Danny, wearing shorts and carrying the clue,  running in front of Oswald who is carrying the red drum. It appears to be early in the AM so you may be correct "either way"  :lol:
