Well, the pile-o'-peat is confirmed.  ;D
It looks like a breakdown of two large groups, depending on flight?ferry?. Some of the caps with Donald (dirty face from loading the peat), the Hsus, etc., show bad weather (I know, the weather can change fast).

Survivor is over back to TAR! Good call Slowhatch!!

You can clearly see the RB set up behind the donkeys so RB then Donkeys where do the bikes come in?
Jenn & Nate on bikes then with the donkey. They have to ride the bikes to the RB?
Maybe no detour option just RB EP1?

That fourth shot down is a great shot--It has the peat, the zippy Bike line, the cluebox, AND a nice view of the shoreline!

Come on you GE people--I KNOW you can find this! :hearts:

Are those other teams in the background or just production/randoms?

I just can't make the Arans fit. There's an Inis Mor aerial below and an Aran gallery here:rocks, rocks, and more rocks. I'd have an easier time matching the Goth donkey.  :knuckles:  :knight (no donkey smileys)

Maybe the Aran Island Ferry is just that? Just a pretty introflash?

OR not  :lol:? I have to organize these pictures!  :-[

Or maybe the Aran island ferry in this case doesn't go to the Aran's? ???

I wonder if the high-wire, death-defying task is actually a ROADBLOCK?  or just a task all teams must perform.  I don't recall an actual Roadblock in any previous ep one.  Correct me, please if I am wrong.

I have isolated the other two tasks and the teams doing them:

(1) Ride the Bike: Nathan and Jennifer
                         Ari and Staella
                         Jason and Lorena
                         Kynth and Vyxsin

(2) Lead the Donkey: Nathan and Jennifer
                               Ari and Staella
                               Marianna and Julia
                               Azaria and Hendekea

                               Add also:
           
                               Kynt and Vyxsin
                               TK and Rachel

If this is indeed a DETOUR, then it looks like Nathan and Jennifer and Ari and Staella started off with the Donkey and then changed and tried the bike task.  But we now have Kynt and Vyxsin doing both tasks so it looks both Bike and Donkey tasks must be done by all teams.

And these two tasks must overlap since we see Jason and Lorena riding on the bike passing Ari and Staella pushing the Donkey up the trail.

Well the two ferries DRAíOCHT NA FARRAIGE and and the sister ship CEOL NA FARRAIGE are apparently custom jobs, so I doubt there's any lookalikes anywhere else in Ireland. So we're stuck with the Arans.

No dice this time, peach.  The Aran Islands are, as they say, in the "fuzzies" on Google Earth.  The low resolution images really don't help much.  Looks like the "Tar detectives" need to use some old fashion "elbow grease" to solve this.   :snicker:

Do I detect some "second thoughts" about Aran Islands?  Oh yee of little faith.  You're folding like a house of cards.   :lol3:  You got till the 4th, plenty of time to tie up the loose ends.  For me, I need a drink.   :lol:  :jam:

 B:) B:) IMO Pat & Kate are safe EP1 because of the happy dance at the pitstop so that leaves us with potentials--




VERY SAFE!

Azaria Azene and Hendekea Azene/ Brother & Sister ---  last of the final 7?- -- out in  --Dubrovnik ?

Ronald Hsu and Christina Hsu/ Father & Daughter --- in the final 7?  --Dubrovnik
*He THINKS that there was an Asian team far behind or eliminated already because he was a good listener--Taiwan
*he was literally 2 feet away from the blond racer and he heard the girl say something like “I wonder what the Asians would say if they came to this place”.  --Taiwan
Jennifer Parker and Nathan Hagstrom/Dating
??M/F team who were close in age so could have been boyfriend/girlfriend or brother/sister --Dubrovnik
*he describes as another couple which consists of a blond girl --Taiwan
*He just notices a blond woman with a man(he didnt really see the man's face). --Taiwan
Rachel Rosales and TK Erwin/Dating   --- in the final 7?  --Dubrovnik
*he thinks that Lorena and Jason were in but is not sure because he could only recognize the long hair.-- Taiwan
*He describes the couple as a brunette woman and a man.  He said that the man seemed very athletic and fit-- Taiwan
Azaria Azene and Hendekea Azene/ Brother & Sister ---  last of the final 7?- -- out in  --Dubrovnik

Might be safe
Lorena Segura and Jason Widener/Dating
??M/F team who were close in age so could have been boyfriend/girlfriend or brother/sister --Dubrovnik
*he thinks that Lorena and Jason were in but is not sure because he could only recognize the long hair.-- Taiwan
*He describes the couple as a brunette woman and a man.  He said that the man seemed very athletic and fit-- Taiwan

vulnerable
Marianna Ruiz and Julia Ruiz/sisters --
??F/F there were the girls who were wearing tight warm-up pants/aka LA Blondes? --Burkina Faso
??F/F There were at least one F/F team. --Dubrovnik
Shana Wall and Jennifer McCall/Friends --
??F/F there were the girls who were wearing tight warm-up pants/aka LA Blondes? --Burkina Faso

puddin, coming out of Dubrovnik, there can be only 6 teams left unless a TBC was used (which I doubt in one of the first 6 legs). If all the teams in the top 2 categories make it, there are no slots left. Going into Taipei there are 4 teams left unless a TBC was used.

And these two tasks must overlap since we see Jason and Lorena riding on the bike passing Ari and Staella pushing the Donkey up the trail.


I have to correct myself.  Upon further review, it now appears that CBEss has done some fancy digital editing and added in the shot of Ari and Staella and their donkey into the background of Jason and Lorena riding their bike.  So the two tasks DO NOT OVERLAP.

The shot of Nathan and Jennifer embracing must come at some later time:  She has exchanged her green bandana for a red one.

Also in the BG of the teams loading up the donkeys, the structure in the background is part of the death-defying high-wire bike stunt, but  is it the landing area or the takeoff area?  It doesn't seem to match the area seen in shots of Nathan and Jennifer and the Goths landing.  But the clue box is there by gum.

The more I see the promos (five times last night) the more I am convinced that this visit to Ireland is going to be a two-day, TBC.  Too much to do, trip to Aran, three tasks, pit stop arrivals, team intros, arrival in Ireland, weather changes, etc. all crammed into 44 minutes of  air time

:waves: this is work in progress --I am still working on it. I have album upon album to sort through.

Of course BIG credits to our Amazing Detectives and everyone else that has helped pull this together!!  :jam:



Good work, wench of mine.  But you could also add the shot of the Aer Lingus plane taking off.  So it looks like speculation of two groups could be possible.  One on Aer Lingus, the other on British Air.
