Topic: EP10 Title ~ " We Got a Gnome !We Got a Gnome !"

[cinni]

 ((^  i've never watched bb so i guess i'll have a longer break.  won't stop me from visiting or trying to hunt down whatever info as the shows are being taped for the fall.  *%#

[rmax]

watch out, cinni, I imagine a stampede of people shoving past you to the front of the line of people who love puddin!  (I have very pointy elbows!)

This was on the travelocity web site:

" Here at Travelocity, we're addicted to travel. And when we're not out exploring the world, we're doing the next best thing: watching The Amazing Race. So please tune in with us for Season 7 every Tuesday night on CBS at 9/8 CST. And keep an eye out for the familiar fellow with the bushy white beard and pointy red hat--the Travelocity Roaming Gnome. It's widely known that he's something of a jet setter.
Don't just watch the adventures unfold on TV! From scuba diving to Vegas shows to jeep tours, you can create your own amazing trip on Travelocity. Add Travel Extras to any vacation package, grab your teammate, and go! "

Not sure if they are referring to the show or the web site.

yeah, but i could just sit on your pointy elbows and get there first after you're flattened.    ]][ (%#

besides, we're still racin' around the world in the 2nd duo race over at realiiity so she's mine until the final update. which at the current rate, will be well into the next season and we'll be racing again.  /]* can't break up a winning team!

I'm guessing that the next leg is Wales because:

1) I think the license plate shown in the preview begins with DL  http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=British+car+number+plate+identifiers&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1  In England, cars beginning with D and DL are registered in that part of the country. 

2) Racers sit behind the driver when riding in Taxis.  Ron and Kelly's taxi was right wheel drive.  Cars in Wales have their steering wheels on the right.

3) Gnomes are big in Wales.


Of course, I'm probably wrong.  They are probably in the Pacific basin somewhere. Ha !  ha!

[rmax]

3) Gnomes are big in Wales.

By definition, gnomes are small.  (sorry, couldn't resist.  I know what you meant!)

[Pedaler]

ha! Ha!  I was so wrong.  It's Turkey per the CBS preview.

Since it has been pretty much shown now that New York is NOT the final mat (last night's elimination of L/A took care of that!) and since we have a pretty good spoiler having teams going from Puerto Rico to Miami, but only a filming permit for Miami Airport, could it be a hint that the teams end up in Las Vegas?  That would almost complete the "around the world" aspect of the race, and the weather is warmer than somewhere in the Northeast in mid-December.  Just a thought.

[puddin]

WooHoo Turkey it is .On my way  ...

[gingerman28]

Well, well, well (and so much for all your theories, Apprencticefan (or will you go back now to your theory number 67 that the teams go to Turkey after India?)  According to preview video on CBS website, the teams now backtrack to TURKEY. They even have a map showing the route from India to Turkey. But why the big fat red "X" superimposed on the map?  Do they hint that this was the orginal plan, but it was changed?  More castle wall scaling a la Corsica! TAR producers are running out of original ideas. Can we identify the castle as being in Istanbul?  And the cab looks to be a right hand drive (camera on the left seat in front) but Turkey has left-hand drive. So perhaps this is cab to the New Delhi airport before they leave for Turkey. For a busy site such as New Delhi, that airport looks awfully deserted; middle of the night perhaps?

[Chateau d If]

Gretchen is carrying a gnome in the preview!

And the Castle really is the Rumeli Fortress as previously spoiled.  See that there is the same suspension bridge in the background as appears in the first second of the preview.

Even better Rumeli Fortress

[goodyingbadyang]

Gretchen is carrying a gnome in the preview!

yeah, at the part with the doves and everything (pigeons, doves, same difference...)
I wouldn't be suprised if she titles that episode again.

Anyways, looks like they're going for the "horseshoe" route this season which kind of sucks because they're leaving Asia behind and its not a race AROUND the world anymore but bleh, I'll still watch

3 episodes left according to CBS, two non-elimination legs back-to-back (?), and the finale which is actually two legs

One duo’s bickering fuels a much deeper discussion about commitment and the state of their relationship.

Two Teams are confident they are ahead of two lagging Teams, but face a harsh reality when they learn they are the ones pulling up the rear.

One Team's hard-fought lead is jeopardized when they have a hard time completing a task. Will this delay cost them the Race?

I think Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly are the ones bringing up the rear. I don't think U/J and M/G have run a good enough race to feel confident in being ahead of Rob and Amber.

[puddin]

Thats what I meant Traegan , R&A and R&K are so cocky they will be surprised when they see Gretch & Meredith " pulling up the rear " lol , how many times did she say that last night  *

[foghillcafe]

I'm not so sure Jamaica is before Puerto-Rico. I think Jamaica is after with the betting spoiler team being mugged right in Puerto-Rico. I'm not even sure I should spoil in this thread so I won't mention it here :-).

I think the viewers know that we post spoilers for TAR in no specific thread so, please go right ahead foghillcafe  ]*[

If Gretchen can climb up the fort's walls and then rappel back down, she'll certainly earn a spot in The Amazing Race Hall of Fame.

Two Teams are confident they are ahead of two lagging Teams, but face a harsh reality when they learn they are the ones pulling up the rear.
Why does this have Gretchen written all over it 

I think Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly are the ones bringing up the rear. I don't think U/J and M/G have run a good enough race to feel confident in being ahead of Rob and Amber.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't remember when R/A have ever even thought about being ahead of the other teams. They just keep going and don't think about anyone else. My thought is the U/J and G/M are proud of themselves for some move they make and get confident. She is always saying she is bringing up the rear so maybe she realizes that after.

[puddin]

I'd rather see Gretchen pullling up Robs rear  },{ and spank him too  .

Hell Yeah Pedaler ..that and all the pain they have been through ..Gretchen with a nasty head wound and all , Meredith and the 700 LB elephant , getting mugged by Phil  and beating 7 stronger ,younger teams to the finish line .. =]/  Oh I like Romber and all but , am looking so forward to the look on Robs face ( keeping my fingers crossed ) when Phil announces that they are the last team to arrive and have been Philiminated   !!  ]][

[dameche]

PUDDIN!!!  `/~

Have your turned on our Robbie already? Shame shame.  /]*

[puddin]
