Does anyone have a better cap than this? When I googled "taipa pequena," I came across several instances of the word trilho, meaning "trail." Could CBS have gotten it wrong?

See, now THIS is the thing I was talking about that would make some of the viewers root for E/D just that little bit more (the only people who need to be yielded twice are The Weavers).

They've proven to be really good racers, even with all their terrible luck.

They deserve to win.

Why?

Because they are funny, they make me smile, they are unfailing kind and polite to the people they meet along they way (rare taxi driver excepted  ;)), they clearly appreciate the race and take time to enjoy the places and the people along the way, they never would dream of degrading each other and rarely (maybe twice this whole race?) even became irritated with each other, and did I mention they make me happy? Nice people that I would love to welcome into my life.

Plus there is the whole I want to be BFF with Oswald  :luvu:

Actually on this team (who I do like a lot and wish were in the finally three with Eric & Danielle and Dustin & Kandice), I think its really hard to see how upset they are.  I think they have been more upset then some realize.

We have seen them in much worse moods to locals, to each other this season then in 2.  From cussing out racers (using the worst language of the season and doing it very loudly and in public), calling one of them an stubborn SOB, to calling a local a loser, to insulting the cab driver by talking about killing him (that was  faily uncool), to on clips for this episode insulting the language abilities of the people of Macau and their ability to speak Portugeese and chinese (whichi s really surprising something they normally wouldn't do), as well as hoping to never see the place again.  I think in many ways they have bickered a lot like Eric & Danielle, but I also think they have had two episodes of really having troubles getting along and being upset at each other.

But when things are good, things are golden.

They really, really do have horrible luck and are lucky to have over come it, I just wish they would have settled for a nice second, and pray that they do. (Sorry big papi, but I have to stay loyal!)

PS - guys, there's a heat weave in Toronto and it's so hot in my house right now and I can't sleep  :'(

Anyone with good res theres a good shot of Erics watch if someone could grab it?
Well I watched my copy Puddin and I can see two lines can't tell hour or minute hand (or if he has a hand for seconds), but it looks like one is between the 9 and 10, and one is close to the 1.

So I guess either 15-10 til 1.  Which seems like not near enough time.

Or 15-to 10 til 2pm

So I but it is a guess, I want beablet o check better until I get it coverted to DVD where I can frame search.

Nope in the clip of them making fun of Danny's sheer bathing suit (Yikes also mentioned by other teams before or by Danny & Oswald can't remember) there is still sand, its has about a 1/3 or a 1/4 left in in.  But there is a lot of glare and you really have to look to see it.

Lucky to overcome horrible luck? lol  :jam:

I think another factor that really helps them is that they don't implode.

That's why I really like the F3, they're all VERY aggressive racers who lay it all out when the odds are against them.  B:)

A bit to many cliche's in that sentence but meh, que sera sera.  :lol:

Also about his watch.  We need to remember that it is working since he was keeping track of penalty (you even see him check it before getting on the mat. But it doesn't mean the hour and time changes are accurate to beable to track a penalty.

Also curious with roughly an hour to make up in penalties, has any team ever had to make up that much time in penalties over the seasons?

Just another example of having too much good stuff to show.  Remember the TeePee in Canada?

I've  sent an email to the Macau Dragon Boat Club asking if they have any information. :lol:

And just heard back!

Quote
Dear Ms. Peach
The file you sent us is not very clear so it is hard for us to say which event it is from.
We can only say that it is either from the 2006 Macau International Dragon Boat Races or the 7th Asian Dragon Boat Championship also held in 2006 in Macau.
We hope this information is of any use.

 Best regards,

Macau Sport Development Board

Too little --too late-- but I'm applying for the Foreign Correspondent position at RFF anyway! :lol:

I think the Pit Stop is here.  It's too blurry to tell for sure.  But the Macao buildings and the Tower can be seen in the show as well as a tall building right behind Phil.
