come to think of it, *(^ they look like the Schroeders. One of them look old. So has to be the Schroeders.

Chateau, each side of the causeway was built years apart and do not look the same. The southbound bridge is older and has that pole rail running across the top and the northbound bridge is solid. I was looking at the Godlewski pictures all wrong and thought all the background bridge were one and not a separate northbound lane. Makes more sense to me now. Below is a pic of the causeway looking northbound.

Just want to clear up our time line:

Afternoon of July 12 (between 2:00 and 4:30PM) teams leave Huntsville; proceed to Anniston (84 miles); proceed to Talladega (20 miles);Talladega Speedway gig - watch out for the Big Brown Truck!); camp out or stay in trailors for the night. Weather is cloudy and/or raining most of the time. Shadows on Talledega Speedway (when the sun is out) are quite long and suggest late afternoon.

Morning of July 13 teams leave Talladegda Campout and proceed to Madisonville, LA (365 miles); Detour task in Fairview Riverside State Park: Lumberjack or Blackjack; proceed to New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain on the Causeway (which is betwen Madisonville and Mandeville); Roadblock task in New Orleans (Preservation Hall Jazz or Bourbon Street) proceed to RiverBoat Nanchez for Pit Stop.

Early Morning of July 14 proceed to New Orleans Airport and catch flight to Belize (first flights leave at 5:59AM -American flight arrives at 11:14AM; and at 6:00AM - Continental flight arrives 10:54AM))

Wow, great shot Supsandalee!

I just reviewed the preview from Tuesday night and at the very very end they show the sobbing Godlewski at an angle that points out her window.

This is what we see: 1) The rail. 2) The bridge that goes in the other direction having no rail. And it is constructed with triple 55" pilings exactly as shown in your photo. See that the south bound direction is constructed with only double 55" pilings.

So they are definitely on the south bound Causeway over Lake Pontchartrain.

Going to New Orleans. |#'

so what happened to the Natchez?

Good question. There was never enough resolution to read the side banner of the boat on the vidcap. Is that the Natchez or the Cotton Blossom we're looking at in the intros? As I wrote before, the Natchez and its sister ship the CB were at one time owned by the same company, and they do look very similar. More questions:

Would the producers put two riverboats so close together in the storyline?
(supsandalee would know this better than anybody) Would the CB be able to sail to the other side of NO to be pictured next to the CCC bridge?
Would the producers throw in video of the Natchez, even though it wasn't used by the racers, because it's a better looking ship (I agree with Puddin, the CB looks dilapidated)?

It looks to me that the Bransens finish their Blackjack detour at about 11:10 am.

It's most definately the Natchez in the intros. It's a much larger vessel (tripple decker) and is permanently located in downtown N.O. with daily river cruises. I doubt the old Cotton Blossom could withstand the Mississippi currents.

I don't know why they would use two riverboats. I like the idea of the Natchez being the pitstop though.

I bet the paddle wheel does not even go around during the episode. They probably tug boated it into position. The interior shots show a very sad decor. Really low pressed tin ceiling. Pressed tin is good (typical of the old days) but the way it is so low shows that it was added in a cheap makeover. Good call Puddin.

OK those with good ears ..
What team does the BlackJack ..leaves to do the Lumberjack then...suggests going back to the cards ??
I'm not sure but am leaning towards the Gaghan mom .

Female?? Gaghan mom ? : do you want to go back & do the cards ?

I listened (with my eyes closed) and heard "you want to go then and do the cards" and sounds like the same voice as Gaghan mom saying we've already wasted so much time here. I don't here the word "back".

The best part of the video is the way the Paolo boy says "and you just gave me a PAPER CUT!" It's hilarious. If this video doesn't make people want to watch I don't know what will. How fun is this show!!!

banzai · « **Reply #86 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:00:21 PM »

sounds like: "do you want to go there & do the cards ?"

Gaghan mom: "They already WON 2 groups." --> looks like they have to beat at least 3 houses to finish the task.

that's why in this scene, we see the Weavers are behind the Gaghans.

and in another scene, we see the Weavers alone.

She does say they already won 2 groups. I was wondering if the teams had to get 21 before completing the task or how it was going to work. Also, you don't think the lumberjacks are going to have to cut 21 pieces of wood do you? That's alot. The Godlewski's might have a hard time with that task.

puddin · « **Reply #88 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:16:11 PM »

Good ears guys..do you want to go there & do the cards and I corrected the "They already WON 2 groups." ealier today

I'm just trying to give you all something to do 8-)' .. what now? what can we look for ? we have everything except first placement of the teams ..first to last .
I put the Bransens near First place as well as the Linzes ..then who?

supsandalee · « **Reply #89 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:22:17 PM »

Banzai, those pictures were taken from opposite angles. You don't think the Gaghans are to the left when you see the Weavers jumping up? The Gaghan girl is wearing hot pink and you see hot pink to the left of that shot.

I think its a different camara angle too ..

something else I noticed ..in the AOL promo
Godlewski sis :" Chris you have to go faster than this " is not from this scene

but from the breakdown scene in the CBS Promo

not that it means much ..

banzai · « **Reply #91 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:42:59 PM »

^^ oh yeah! Different angles. :yaya:

supsandalee · « **Reply #92 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:57:50 PM »

Ya'll still think the mystery lumberjacks are the Schroeders? I'm still leaning towards to the Linzs. They all look like full sized adults and the Schroeder boy is 15. Also, the one in the long pants just can't be female??? I thought I could get it with the brown tennis shoes but both Schroeder dad and two of the Linzs brothers have brown tennis shoes. Either way, we're still missing a team.

puddin · « **Reply #93 on:** October 13, 2005, 10:10:24 PM »

I concede ..it probably is the Linzes but we cant tell in this shot whether the Bransens are coming or going from the Steamboat.. no matter if this is the Linzes they probably race threw the Lumberjack task easily

at least I assume thats the Bransens in the canoe ..

supsandalee · « **Reply #94 on:** October 13, 2005, 10:19:33 PM »

It almost looks like they left a wake so they are coming into the dock. But I'm no expert on water wakes or sun shadows like others.

banzai · « **Reply #95 on:** October 13, 2005, 10:50:05 PM »

What's that thingy they're riding/pedaling?

banzai · « **Reply #98 on:** October 13, 2005, 11:46:12 PM »

at Blows, they called it a circular 4-6 person bicycle. But I can't find the inventor. *(^
