So since this is a TBC, that means that there will probably be a U-turn and/or a fast foward because from what i remember from previous seasons, there was once a Fast Foward on the second half of a double leg meaning that probably K/J or T/V will go for it depending on how far behind they are from M/J and J/C.

At first glance, it appears to be the makeup for general Guan Yu.

Oh good catch puddin!! GNOMES!!

HEEEE> I predict someone WILL be eliminated this leg. :neener:   :funny: :funny:

And I think that someone -- or to be more accurate, some team -- won't be either Cara & Jamie or Margie & Luke (if Margie's the one who says the title quote, that is).  It's between Tammy & Victor or LaKisha & Jen.

And btw, Jerseydude, although I agree that a U-Turn will be used, I think there's only one Fast-Forward and it was in Phuket.  No one went for it.

There will be NO Fast Forwards anymore...

The Chinese Opera seems to be a Detour...

The delicacies seem to be a Roadblock... (is it? Or could the Opera people shifted to the Delicacy detour?? Hmmm...)

Everyone's doing it...

We see Tammy and Victor without Makeup, then other teams proceeding with make up and opera suit on being a commotion and a laugh to Beijing's locals...

What's up with Tammy/Victor's lack of make-uppery? I think it's either:

1. Make up task and something else are the detour options and the eating is a miscellaneous task.
 
-OR-

2. They only put make up on the racers who are NOT Chinese and the eating task and something else are detour options.

I'm leaning more on (1) though.  :snicker:

puddin...

CAN WE SPECULATE:

T/V first goes to the Roadblock? I can see no cars on the road, and the sun does not shine that brightly at Victor, whereas,

Margie and Luke and Kisha and Jen had cars on their backs (specifically Margie and Luke and a busier street with cars running...) The sunlight hits Jen and Kisha and Margie and Luke's face tell me like its around 8 - 9 am or something, while Tammy and Victor goes to that place like 7 - 8 am?

AGAIN, JUST A SPECULATION...

But hey, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! CHINESE CULTURE!!!!! THEY TOOK 14 SEASONS TO EXEMPLIFY THE REAL CHINESE CULTURE!!! Even so... YAY for TPTB and WRP!!!  :jam: :yess: :hearts: :hearts: :jumpy: :jumpy:

SPEC:
The eating task is a roadblock, only 1 team member is eating...

Oh wait.

Eating task is the roadblock.

Roadblockers:
1. Victor
2. Margie
3. Jen
4. Jamie/Cara, unknown at this point.

So the make-uppery thing is a detour option. Wonder what the other one is...

Xuanwu District, just south of Heping Gate Station, very near where the Chos got lost in TAR 10.1.



Looks like generic role makeup rather than a character makeup... The female 'dan' and the clown 'chou'!
Oh God their makeup looks ugly (by Chinese standards)... :lol:

No one is holding any gnomes during the roadblock. So I assume the gnomes come after.

This picture from above has a clue with a RB in it though.... Look at the red color in the clue on the table...

From the promo screencaps...

PURE SPECULATION:
 
I THINK Tammy and Victor are first... Tammy looks quite blossoming with her smile and the daylight seems to be so early still...
I THINK Jaime and Cara are lost at the same time while Tammy and Victor are in the eating roadblock.
I THINK Kisha and Jen and Margie and Luke are fighting for last place...
I THINK There's only one Travelocity Gnome... or they needed to exchange it for their next clue like Auckland leg last season.

This is for the fun of it all...

Luke looks so much happy having make up on and the chinese opera costume on his face! Just look at him in the screencaps!  :funny:

SPOILER/SPECULATIONS

THUS, patterning it to the spoiler that we had last time...
Jaime and Cara were talking about a fighting third team to Margie and Luke = Tammy/Victor whom is probable to have an edge over the others because of that footage...
Margie and Luke arrives last at the airport for the final leg, does not see Tammy and Victor fight or brush off each other, while Jaime and Cara sees them though, and they tell the story to Margie and Luke. It also makes sense that they get ahead of the others at JAL and eventually landing with Phil and BVM. what happens next... you gotta watch the finale!

The road block is at 北京王府井东华门. It is famous for its starfish and bugs which they the racers are eating. It should be easy to find and there is a white fence behind it like it was in the preview.

Is this the same location for the eating task?

It says:

"Location: Dong-an-men-da-jie
 Opening Hours: 4:30 PM to 10:30 PM"

From this website: http://www.west-meet-east.com/travelbe2.htm#dwm

Maybe the store where they ate was opened for them for the show...

From another website:

Dong Hua Men Avenue, Dong Cheng District
Beijing, 11 100005 China
Open Hours
5p-10p daily.
Overview
This night market has to be seen to be believed. Eager crowds jostle alongside red and white stalls, responding to the calls of vendors or the sight of something delicious or extraordinary to behold. Food comes on skewers, in soup bowls, wrapped in tortillas, or even in half a pineapple, and includes familiar fried and roasted meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and fruit, alongside hearts, brains, stomach and other innards. Try baby sparrows, scorpions, crickets and silkworm grubs. Glutinous and sticky, savory and sweet rice dishes are filling and cheap. Vegetarians can eat corn, broccoli, mushrooms and noodles. Servings are CNY2-10.
