And I found the location of the Pie Toss Tent:  Schönau am Königssee



In the background is the Kurve der Bob- und Rodelbahn am Königssee - Erste Kunsteisbahn der Welt Panoramio

I guess I can't figure out whats going on in the video? Are some teams switching the paragliding task? then it can't be the Roadblock? What about the segways? what am i missing ? ( still decompressing here  :lol: )

I think Linda (and maybe some other Roadblockers) have decided to walk down the mountain  :ascared

Nice one Chateau!

My algebra-trigonometry-calculus thing fell to pieces as I tried to figure out what times the teams checked in, but teams arrived in a 1h range into Interlaken, so I guess they'd be all bunched for the flights?

I'm guessing that the paragliders can't take off with that kind of wind blowing so the roadblockers were given the option to wait around to see if the wind keeps up or to hike their way back down the mountain.

Mel, obviously with his sprained groin, cannot even think about hiking down and so he waits around until eventually (per the montage clips) the wind finally goes down and off he goes.

Now whether or not waiting around like that while the rest of the teams head off will get them eliminated, I don't know.

Roadblock: still paragliding
Detour: still cakes vs segways

SC #14 above:  Is that Linda with the helmet on next to Mel?

I can't tell absolutely for sure but IMO it looks and sounds like Linda.

If it's Linda, did she do it or did she walk down by herself deciding not to do it?  If it's Roadblock would they get a time penalty from the time they decide to walk back down?  Am I way off base on this?  They are not doing it because of the danger and the Outfit indicated no Paragliding as long as the wind is too high.  Therefore, it's technically it's not their decision to not do the Roadblock.

Whether she did or didn't do the paragliding then where is her paragliding partner?  Maybe it's possible she's not that lost and it won't effect them that much.  Maybe CBS is doing the same thing they did with preview for 1st episode.

perhaps she didn't do the Roadblock and the non-Roadblockers were supposed to hike down?

Extended preview of Episode 2.


Looks like wind is definitely an issue going down the mountain. And the cake throwing task is a detour.

Looks like Brad & Victoria are safe from elimination!  They looked happy at what looked like a pitstop.

I don't think that's the pit stop, it's probably just after they've completed the detour.

read through post 1 this topic ..  :tup: , Kris/Amanda Brad/Victoria and Cara/Jamie are safe according to the eyewitness and photo evidence of 2 of the teams.
And its not the pitstop, again, read the thread.

I'm guessing this is the pitstop. He stood there, talked to Phil, and licked her. What do you think?

There's no sunlight? Is it in the evening?



Because this team has a confession at night. So i thought the other team checked in, in the evening.



Is it a sport stadium?

No that's the Bob Sled place in Schönau am Königsee that I mentioned earlier.   :jam:  Where they do the pies.

I'm thinking they all got on the same flight from Bern to Munich:
LH3655 0645-0750 (The next flight out is a staggering 4.5h later!)

With teams checking in between (I think) 3pm and 4.30pm and leaving in the dark of night, they'd be comfortable with the 70km taxi ride to Bern. (Sunset for the previous day was 5.11pm.)

I'm thinking (after watching Insiders):

Luke/Margie, Tammy/Victor, Mark/Michael: 3.27pm
Mike/Mel: 3.33pm
Amanda/Kris: 3.50pm
LaKisha/Jennifer: 3.52pm
Cara/Jaime, Brad/Victoria, Steve/Linda: 3.52-4.22pm
Jodi/Christie, Jennifer/Preston: 4.22pm

I wonder if the Roadblockers had to walk all the way to the landing site. 

Or did they have to walk back to where they parked by the Gondola Station between Ramsier and Fritz am Sand.  Then just drive from there.

banzai is back  :jumpy:  :yess:

this is the pitstop btw .........
Hellbrunn Palace
Mrs Shrek's blog find:
I also have to say that one of the most exciting points of the day was when we saw signs for the show "The Amazing Race."  It was being filmed at the palace where the famous Sound of Music gazebo now is.  I took a picture of one of the signs that I saw, but there also were about 15 matching white Mercedes out front that were supposed to belong to the people in the amazing race. After I took a picture, an angry man came and put a garbage bag over the sign.

Check out the clean floor. They could be the first team.  :duno:



It's a mess here.  :wohoo:

Uh, so how many pies they have to throw? 50-100? But who's counting?

The clue is in the cake?

Impressive work Chateau.  It will be interesting to see how Linda got so off course and how long it delays their team.

It looks like she's way off course. If that is the case, it could be the death knell. If I had to speculate at this point, it could be Mel & Mike and Linda & Steve competing for the 9th spot in the race. But as we all know, never judge by the promo.  ;D
