Just for laughs, I wonder how closely the 500ft rapel task will mirror this scene from the "Southern Extreme" (Extremo Sul) movie.   :angel:

I seem to recall that the TAR producers use the same stunt/zipline rigging company on previous TARs.  Wonder if they hired these guys to help.

They used Branam for TAR5, TAR6, and TAR7.  I'm not sure about 8.

They even have a TAR5 shot on their website.

from AOL

The Amazing Race 9 (9PM, CBS) SEASON PREMIERE
 
Why you'll be hooked: Though last season's 'Family Edition' fell a bit flat, season nine brings back everything we love about the 'Race' – breathtaking locations, culturally-relevant challenges and inter- and intra-team squabbling. Teams to watch: Mother-daughter team Wanda and Desiree (Wanda speaks fluent Spanish, which may give her an edge); and hippie friends BJ and Tyler (neither bathes regularly, which should make 12-hour bus rides very interesting.)

Teams start from the Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver, Colo., and race off to their first destination: Sao Paolo, Brazil. The tension kicks in from the get-go, as they all race to catch the earliest flight. As viewers, our blood pressure rises and falls with each mini-drama. For instance, when one team walks by the clue box on a bridge, missing it approximately 19 times, we scream at them through our TV sets: "It's right there!!! You're walking past it! AGAIN!!

First thing that comes to mind about Joseph's location is Sicily, possibly near the ruins at Segesta. See view from Greek Theatre @ Segesta below. Very similar.

Looks like the Beach Bums make it at least to Moscow.  What's up with all the rapelling at the waterfalls?  Could the spoiler be wrong, and instead of a 500ft building, they rapel down a 500ft mountain/cliff.    (:;)

Just noticed, Team Beach Bums are counting cash, while holding a clue envelope. Looks like they are leaving Moscow and starting the NEXT leg.

Yep, clear as mud, "Team Goth" (Wanda & Desiree) are toast!  The nail in the coffin may be that for a team that speaks fluent Spanish, they may be surprised that the predominant language in Brazil is Portuguese.     ;)

My Guess for Joe is Sicily or Greece in that picture. I am in love with the MOJO nickname, this season has cool nicknames, Double D, MOJO it could only get better.

What's the clock at--4:25? This site puts sunset for Moscow (Nov 2005) at a quarter past 4 (roughly). That makes sense considering the extra lighting you can see in the photo. The race has started legs in mid-afternoon before, but it's a little unusual.

Assuming that's the Savior Tower with the clock, then I'll make a guess about the pitstop location (just south of Red Square).

4:25 PM ???  Since they are starting a new leg, that would mean that they finished the Moscow leg 12 hours earlier, at 4:25 AM !!!  Or does the 18-24 hour pitstop rule come into effect here.  They could be leaving at 4:25 AM, depending on where Moscow is located in it's time zone.  Or the clock could be broken.   ;D

In the preview St. Bailsals was shown in the dark so the leg was prolly late at night, and the last Russian leg went to real late at night also pretty sure teams i think from places 5-8 all checked in after midnight in St. Petersburg.

Lake Garner navigated his way on a zip line during "The Amazing Race." The show kicks off with a two-hour special tonight at 9 on CBS.

Agree with Boingo on Segesta Amphitheatre, Sicily. Found that the fence and the stones kind of match, so Mo-Jo makes it to Italy! But why is Joseph alone?





There's a nicer, bigger picture on another site at http://smrl.stanford.edu/erice2003/photos/IMG7.JPG, but it takes up too much space on this page. Any idea how to resize images on this board?

Did a search on Google Earth, the terrain seems correct, with the mountain in the centre (obscured by clouds in the photo), a side on the right stretching towards the amphitheatre, and a further mountain on the left.

COMMENTARY
Colorful personalities hit road for the 'Amazing Race'

2/28/2006 
 
  By ALAN PERGAMENT

It's no secret that the Family Edition of "The Amazing Race" (9 tonight, WIVB-TV) was treated by critics and fans of the series like the relative nobody wants to sit next to at Thanksgiving dinner.
Its overall dullness was balanced in Western New York by a rooting interest for a Buffalo resident, Nick Linz, who was part of the winning family from Cincinnati.

Fortunately, the ninth installment of this Emmy-award winning, globetrotting series is back on course with a two-hour opener that is a triumph of casting. And make no mistake, casting is even more important now because watching teams get flustered when travel plans go awry and cab drivers get lost got a little old by about the fourth race.

This edition includes several inept and foolishly confident teams of two people that provides humor, color, romance (one couple does a lot of kissing) and suspense on the first leg of the trip from Denver to Sao Paulo, Brazil. There also is one fun-loving group of best friends from San Francisco who dress like hippies, online tutor BJ Averell and filmmaker Tyler MacNiven.

The frequent brave, but misguided attempts by teams trying to successfully pull off tasks that will make the trip shorter are among tonight's comic highlights. Of special note is the decision of the recent, attractive college graduates nicknamed the Double D's - Dani Torchio and Danielle Turner - to play motorcycle mechanics.

But Barry and Fran Lazuras, who have been married 40 years, also prove age doesn't necessarily lead to wisdom and can be a liability when eyesight is important. They don't have a clue when it comes to finding a clue box. A few teams in the competition pull a Lazuras and return from what appears to be almost certain death.


The preview tape supplied by CBS surprisingly included the final moment when the first team is eliminated, with the show's publicist asking critics to keep it a secret. No problem. I'll just say I was sorry to see a team as comically inept as this one get the boot so early.

Nice job!  :tup:  Although anything after the second leg is up for revision.  I would put myself in the puddin camp and agree that Rome would be the likely international airport entry into Italy and later on to Sicily.  I don't suspect a lot of direct international flights into/outof Sicily.  Can't wait for tonight.  :jumpy:

Yeah, just put Rome there because of the "9 team" spoiler from Rome -- maybe that statue-assembling task with 9 people comes en route from Rome to Sicily. Like the first task of the day before moving on down to southern Italy. Rome is definitely a more likely Italian starting point than Sicily.
