Thanks for the post Puddin, but it's a stunner to me.  Elephants mean either Africa or India.  How can that happen so fast?  Fron the opening sequence vidcaps, don't they have to go to England and Turkey first?

I thought for sure that either England or Turkey would be a double leg country like Hungary was last year.

Could be, but that's going to leave a lot of legs unaccounted for.  From vidcaps, we believe that the race goes to England, Turkey, Africa, India, and Jamaica.  If leg 7 is Africa, where do they go for all of the other 6 legs?

I don't know why but I really enjoy this speculation and detective work.

If March 29th program is a two-hour program does it cover two legs: Leg 5 to South Africa and Leg 6 to Botswanna? Or does the two-hour program count as only one leg in two parts like we had in Eger and Budapest, Hungary in TAR5? So the program on April 5 labled EP6 may be the one that they fly to India where we have established the elephants. I do not recall elephants being common in the game reserves of either South Africa or Botswana. So this would follow our spoiler information about flying with the teams to India as they finish a 3-day safari in Botswanna.

I think we can eliminate London and Turkey as legs in this race (Many thanks to the producers for leading us all astray). This leaves at least two or three episodes unaccounted for. Perhaps we should look again at Australia (Melbourne) and Tasmania (Hobart) as possible legs and Montreal which was mentioned a while back.

We all have been depending on the post from Jo-burg by the lady who claims to have met the remaining six teams (including Romber) in Jo-Burg and flew with them to India (a ten hour flight). But could this be a plant? Could it be that the teams actually will be flying to London after Botswana? and then on to Turkey AND THEN on to India?  Can anyone think of what could be referred to by "we have an elephant" if the teams do in fact fly on to London. Oh well, in a matter of hours we will know the answer to all this anyway. But as Prof. Higgens would say "it is a puzzlement."

G'man,  They could go to London (or Turkey) after India.  I think the spoiler of the racers flying from South Africa to India is true.  Remember in season 5 when they flew west to east from New Zealand to Manila.  That's a 17 to 20 hour flight. You could fly to London from India in about 11 hours. I don't know what's going to happen, but I can't wait.

Tuesday, April 5, 9PM ET/PT

The strain of the Race takes its toll on one Team when one Racer reacts angrily to an unattractive side of her teammate.
 

One Team member hastily chooses to do a Roadblock that involves driving a stick shift through the African bush, and he has only driven a stick once before. Will he be able to complete the task?


Teams drive for miles across the African bush over rough and muddy roads. They encounter giraffes, elephants, zebras and hippos roaming freely all around them, causing everyone a little trepidation, but great excitement over their experience of wild Africa.

Leg 7 is in London and Leg 8 is in Turkey. Half of leg 7 has roadblock in Botswana.

thanks tanbuns!

Atleast no team is 4-1. They are doing a good job keeping it equal. I was surprised Joyce didn't do the shopping and then, she took on the spear throwing to make up for it.

I think the fact that Uchenna and Gretchen are ahead on the Roadblocks will help them later, when the strength ones kick in.

Anyone else notice that all of the teams EXCEPT Merideth and Gretchen are in the previews..?
Maybe I'm obsessed but I'm taking it as a very bad sign right now...
-Uchenna and Joyce are shown either leaving the pit stop or from last night's episode (also the croc river/lake/pond thing)
-Ron and Kelly are shown arguing (and somekind of Task that they have to finish with that log)
-Lynn and Alex are shown with a flat tire
-Rob and Amber are shown... somewhere, I forgot where
-Brian and Greg are shown.... again, my memory's not serving me right today but they are shown in the previews right?

Last season they almost never showed Kris and Jon and they did well.

Does the preview really say "nearly survived" because nearly is really the wrong would. I think they were going for barely - because nearly survived to me sounds like they didn't survive.

This sounds a lot like they are driving through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve which is not far north of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park which is a dried lake and is where the spent the night sleeping on cots in the open (?) (No tents were visiable but I imagine they must have had a latrine and mess tent somewhere nearby.
