I, on the other hand.. felt that Margie and Luke did not make the F6 as decoy teams at least.

If i'm right, it will really suck.. i'm kinda rooting for Margie and Luke!!

I would like the F3 to be:

1. Margie and Luke
2. Gary and Mallory
3. Zev and Justin

I do not like the cowboys and I would love for them to get the boot!

I can accept the Cowboys being in the Final 4, however.

Heee...cast reveal soon!

How about...didn't teams once use a "locater" thingy in the snow?? I think it very likely we will see something similiar in the Zermatt leg.

I think it was in TAR 11 in Argentina........on the Martial Glacier.

If the world had not gone in to "recession" at the end of 07/start of 08, there is a good chance I would have been living in a Rio surburb and could have done some really good spoiling. Be that as it may, the strange flight arrangements from Rio to Miami really had me stumped. So I just decided to do the holidays and stop thinking about it for a month.

Normally, American has one direct flight from Rio to Miami, AA904. I dont know how many times I have flown on that flight in the last 12 years....at least 2 times a year. From Dec 1 till about March 1...American adds a second flight from Rio to Miami, AA990. I thought that with the two flights, it would be plenty for TAR to get all the people back to Miami. But AA990 does not fly on Sundays. But both flights arrive in Miami BEFORE sunrise. They are almost always earlier than scheduled time. 904@ 430 am and 990@ 515 am.

American has 3 nightly flights from Sao Paulo to Miami. They leave Sao Paulo later then the flights from Rio to Miami and 2 of them, AA998 @ 630 am and AA930@ 730 am arrive when there is light in the sky. I think this is important for filming of a TV show outdoors. On Dec 13, twilight in Miami was at 630 am and sunrise was at 658 am. It would make sense to me to make the short jog over to Sao Paulo Guarulhos Airport to let the teams arrive in conditions good for filming a TV production., especially the finale. So I would think that BVM had the teams on AA930. He could have put lots of the crew on AA998 arriving earlier, so they could clear customs and be ready to film or they could all have been on the last flight. It seems that possibly that "pilot illness" for AA998 really messed up Americans schedule for that night. How that affected TAR, well I guess we will find out at TARcon in May if anyone asks.

Getting from Rio to SP is pretty simple. There are hourly flights from the downtown Rio airport, Santos Dumont(SDU) to Guarulhos and flights about every 15 mintues from Galeao-Jobim (GIG) to Guarulhos. The flights are all about an hour in length.

Brazil has really good long distance bus service, Production could have chartered one or two of these to get people from Rio to Guarulhos. They have stewardesses and movies on them. The trip is about 4.3 hours from Rio to Guarulhos.

So the fact that AA930 was delayed for about 2 hours just gave production more/better light for filming in my opinion.

They probably pulled that out of the discard bin; the teams of TAR4 (ep 1) had a Search/Rescue Detour, but everybody chose the zipline.
(My guess? production will jump at the chance to use St. Bernards--with a clue instead of brandy)

When? Luke posted on fb yesterday : "Few Days...! A cans of worms will be opened pretty soon... ;-)" ... few days? Ugh....when? when? why CBS can't just tell us when? i do not get it. They can at least tell us that for example cast will be revealed on monday or something

georgiapeach · « **Reply #1688 on:** January 15, 2011, 01:17:33 PM »

The webmonkeys don't normally work weekends...and Monday is a holiday...so....??

This week was all about Survivor...so next week should be all about US!!

Yup!

Some spoilers can also be bluffs just as what i observe in other forums that Nat and Kat will not win the race. But i don't depend it too much unless if i have a good read on it and making the correct call. LOL!

I did some searching on the moped task in Liechtenstein and found that the Liechtenstein Tourism Office has a web page about using mopeds and bikes to explore Liechtenstein at http://www.tourismus.li/en/navpage-SummerLI-BikeLI-342002.html. It suggests that the mopeds may actually be bikes with electric battery powered motors to assist on hills. The rental plan appears well organized. They have about a dozen stations around the country where you can get fresh batteries if the ones you are using are getting low. The page also has a slide show at the bottom where you can get a better look at the bikes and the pretty countryside of Liechtenstein. I'd try and upload one, but it's a flash based page, so I can't grab them. Actually, I can't even get them to enlarge so I can look closer at them.

Liechtenstein looks to be about 30 km from north to south (about 20 miles), so it sounds like they could travel north to south (or south to north) and measure the country in about 60 to 90 minutes. If they go east to west, the country is only about 7 or 8 km wide (about 5 miles), so that would take 15 or 20 minutes. Of course, they will really be measuring the length of the road, not the size of the country unless the road is perfectly straight.

With a starting line task, I'm leaning towards a 2-hour premiere, or else it could be seriously rushed.

Maybe its in Central Time and it will air at 10pm due to a televised event in the time zone areas at selected markets.
