Topic: TAR 30: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!

Interestingly enough, the person who posted the pic with all 7 clues (WhitmoorCCSuper), posted pictures of JODY and the Violinists. (Posted at the same time) Yet now we are thinking they were behind at least 4 other teams.

Can you expand on this? Not sure I am getting it.

Behind just means as to who got the clues first.  I think it's obvious that all the teams where the area at the same time.  Jody and the Violinist were not that far behind.  Question is, was the mystery team late start or what? 

[LibertyLove08]

I also do not know if this has been mentioned but:

Is this Jody's courtesy of photo below or is it someone else?

Cropped from the U-Turn picture:



Most of the time the first Courtesy of Photo that exists at the U-Turn is the teams arranged in Alphabetical order. If it's Jessica & Cody then it's "Cody & Jessica", and thus, we might be able to figure that "CEDRIC & Shawn" are now likely eliminated.

That guy has glasses on--that photo is of Yale Team (debaters)

Nice! Then Letenský profil is the pitstop.

[LibertyLove08]

Sorry if this is wrong place to post.  I was thinking the same thing.  If you look at the times and the picture with Jody where there is a clock it looks like they may have been minutes apart.  Something still seems off to me.  The picture with the skiers in the background near the uturn by themselves is really throwing me off, where did the other 3 teams go??

I think the Skiers were racing everyone to the clue table and blew past the U=turn at that point.

[LibertyLove08]

I find it very hard to believe all those teams that wer behind jody and the violienists got in front of them. without help atleast.

maybe it is a new twist and another team won it and put them in the bottom or something.

If you plot on a map from the Hotel it's a six-minute drive (1.9 miles) to the Rudolfinum Concert Hall (the clue table and U-turn), and then just .5 mile to the Metronome Sculpture & Pitstop (Letenske Schody)--- you get the idea of their journey today minus any tasks or roadblocks.... Everything was relatively close so it was prolly a matter of minutes between the teams.

But you have to factor in the tasks. That could set a team apart by hours

Height difference is wrong for debaters.

[georgiapeach]

Let's all be on the alert for sightings please! Today SHOULD be a travel day unless this is an extended PitStop!

WhitmoorCCGrounds (@WhitmoorCCSuper) posted two sets of photos around the same time (9:08 and 9:09) on 12 Oct. (This may have been just after noon, Prague Time, I'm going by what I see on the twitter pics)
His pictures include a picture of all seven clues still on the pedestal.  They also include a picture of Phil, somewhere nearby and a picture of the skiers behind the hedge by the U-turn (In the first pics - 9:08 tag).
The other set of pics (9:09 tag) show Cody and Jess and the Violinists on the streets interacting with passersby.  One of the Jody pics is in front of the same building we see in the clock photo.

It's just interesting that this photographer only caught 3 of the teams, and they were not bunched the way we see them in other photos.

As has been mentioned, these pics, even though they include the U-Turn, may have been before the teams encountered the Detour.  If the skiers and others completed the Detour more quickly than Jody this would explain how the group of 4 teams got a bit of a lead.

This just leaves it to be the Lifeguards then? 

[georgiapeach]

These are from my start line pics, teams are standing.
Don't we have confirmation that JODY Uturned ??
Not sure why the confusion, but maybe missing something.

Looks like JODY to me.



Lol if you are worrying about this you are NOT searching for sightings...and that's what we need more today/tonight.

[DavidJunior]

So it’s not Henry and Evan on that courtesy of on the ground in the first/smaller crop?

Though we can’t make out the faces per se, the heights and background def look different than the one of Cody and Jessica

Also the hats look dark, as opposed to the bright yellow of the lifeguards hats

It doesn’t look like a M/M or F/F team either

I still think that other one is Henry and Evan- the heights in that photo don’t seem too dissimilar from their height at the Starting Line

[LibertyLove08]

This is the Yale Debater.  He is infront of a chalkboard. Hope enlargement helps.  I could not post my other two enlargements but he has glasses on and he is def the Guy debater.

[AmazingRaceFanatic3]

I’m conpletely lost sorry. What’s the significance of figuring out that picture on the floor?

[chill_sd]

I'm not sure there is any. We have positively identified six of the teams that made it to Prague.  Unless we get info on the 7th team, we really should take Peach's advice and look forward.

[Winteriscoming]

Who knows it could be a close race.. The person who took the pictures of the 4 teams that are grouped together around the detour is also the same one who took the pictures of Jody arriving there and uturing the violinists correct?

So unless both these sources are sticking around for hours they seem to all be around the same general area and there could be only minutes seperating them.   

Defeintly not uncommon for a bunch of teams to be doing detours together.

All we know is Jody detoured the violinists so in order for them to do that they had to feel there was at least a chance that the violinists were behind them. 

[georgiapeach]

Picture on the floor is immaterial....Only thing that matters is pic on the board.

Yeah...peach is pooped.

Y'all go searching please??

[LibertyLove08]

I have a question Peach, if the team get a mat or pitstop, does that mean they go back to the hotel and rest? we kinda know the hotel they stayed at the night before, has anyone talked to that hotel? 

[georgiapeach]

No sweetie. That hotel was a pick up a clue only, don't believe they stayed there.

[DavidJunior]

For locations of direct flights out of Prague, if we're thinking they left this morning, I saw:
Kiev
Warsaw
Belgrade
Budapest
Riga
Moscow
St. Petersburg
Istanbul
Dubai
Tel-Aviv *fingers crossed*

Unless they went West for one of the European hubs- but that seems unlikely with a few good hubs in/to the middle east, and a descent amount of places in Eastern Europe/Middle East direct

Maybe searching around in some of these cities may be fruitful?

[georgiapeach]

I can vouch there were no teams in Tel- Aviv today. 

Let's focus on trains for now.  Look for train/bus station sightings.

[BourkieBoy]

Are teams racing right now, or is it an extended Pit Stop?

[georgiapeach]

Who knows??

[Maanca]

Wonder which side of the Detour the U-Turn was on, before like last season, or after where it should be. With so many of them crowded there at the same time, I'm inclined to guess before.
