aww it wasn't that hard , you guys did all the hard work .
No signs of planes or trains , only this weird indoor shot of L&M .
We see all the top teams doing tasks , but we have to remember that if there is a FF one of E&J or the Hippies might only have to do something simple at the Roadblock to complete the FF ..I can't remember what seasons' we've seen this ?
Still without clearer vidcaps we can't really tell whats going on . As far as I can tell its another long day .

This shot from web promo also from last night's show. I don't know if I should bring the cap over but you can see it in tarflies.

Sho nuf. It's a recycle from the airport in Germany.

I'm curious to find where the kayak-polo roadblock is located. I can't find any waterways like that on google earth. Perhaps it's not in Catania but on the way there. ~~BTW, Lake and Michelle are seen in two different sets of clothes so I don't think this is one long day.~~ (recycled photo)

I was searching for the kayak polo last week and found many clubs on Sicily. I believe they are called canoe clubs, so you might try seaching that way.

let me hop on my laptop, I get better caps Chateau

good catch on the recycled Lake Vidcap !!

libra · « **Reply #78 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:00:39 PM »

Which do you think comes first: detour or roadblock?

Need to analyze the time but I think teams are told to proceed from Segesta to Catania amphitheater where they will receive their first clue. What are the opening hours of this theater?

puddin · « **Reply #79 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:08:46 PM »

not sure who this is

<< FR ??

libra · « **Reply #80 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:23:04 PM »

This looks like the inside of the amphitheater.

There are few vidcaps to sleuth as about half are recycled.

The detour - we only know F/B, Lake, Mojo choices, we don't know about the rest.

libra · « **Reply #81 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:28:53 PM »

Is this a team running toward the fish market? If yes, is it possible to zoom in?

banzai · « **Reply #82 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:36:23 PM »

^^ I see Mo. She's making a pony tail. Behind them, I see some cars.

the fish market is close to the amphitheater; thanks to slowhatch and boingo

edit:

I flipped this shadow and I think it's Michelle based on her hair

puddin · « **Reply #83 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:38:57 PM »

honestly it looks like someone with a fish but they have a cape on ..plastic to protect there clothes ....at first glance it looks like Tyler

^^ lol, the cape

pulling up her hair

TENSIONS MOUNT AND THE STRESS OF THE RACE TAKES ITS TOLL ON SEVERAL TEAMS WHO GET LOST WHILE TRYING TO FIND THEIR NEXT CLUE IN SICILY, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT

"Sleep Deprivation Is Really Starting To Irritate Me" -- Tensions mount and the stress of the race takes its toll on several teams who get lost while trying to find their next clue in Sicily, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Tuesday, April 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

While racing through the ancient streets of Sicily, teams choose between a detour where they must either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in a busy open-air market, or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile through a congested part of the city in order to receive their next clue. Teams are also faced with a roadblock that requires one team member to score a goal in the popular Italian sport of "Kayak Polo" while competing against a team of professional players

FWIW, there is a second and (third) Roman Amphitheatre in Catania, which are even closer to the Fish Market pointed out by Banzai. These are much more complete than the one in Piazza Stesicoro. I wonder if the teams get confused and go to the wrong theatres here when they arrive in Catania? Depends on how detailed the clues are. :dunno:

Quote

Draped with ivy, and overlooked by a ring of 17th-century buildings and apartments, this charming theater at Via Vittorio Emanuele 260 is an ancient oasis concealed in the midst of an urban neighborhood. During classical times, it held as many as 17,000 spectators for plays and -- to a lesser extent -- water games, when boats would float on waters funneled in from then-nearby streams and aqueducts. It was also a site for gladiator contests. Ironically, part of the theater's graceful crescent-shaped seating structure is blocked by a black-lava bridge added during the early 17th century as the base for the since-demolished Via Grotte, once a densely populated street within this residential neighborhood.

A smaller theater, the Odeon, is accessible near the back side of the Roman theater. To reach it, follow signs from the theater and walk uphill through some tunnels and steep vaulted stairs.

I don't think this is recycled - last eppy Barry was wearing a brighter blue t-shirt. Just want to make sure.

If this is new, then Barry takes off this blue shirt at the fish market.

So can we assume they don't travel by bus at all and just drive?

L’Anfiteatro
Piazza Stesicoro
Open: every day from 9 am to 1.30 pm and from 2.30 pm to 5 pm
Free entry
Gorgeous monument of the Roman Empire, you can see its ruins in the center of the Stesicoro square

----------------

Different pages give different hours, for ex. another says 9:00-1:30 and 2:00-7:00pm but generally it says it's open from 9:00.

Is the door just opened and E/J can finally enter?

This is different from CBS, it says one team and not several.

You're right

, at first I thought it is the Siegestor gate in Munich (pitstop ep4) but it's not.

The background seems more Italian to me, it's probably the pit stop?? I will try and search later.

Sorry, I don't see nothin' What did Puddin find?

Slowhatch · « **Reply #95 on:** March 29, 2006, 10:38:35 PM »

The way the promo is edited, my hunch is that the little inlet (with the two bridges) is the location of the kayak task. Like Sups, I've GE'd Catania, Palermo, Messina, Siracusa, etc., with no luck. It's still a bit of a puzzle.

Boingo · « **Reply #96 on:** March 29, 2006, 11:19:28 PM »

I think I'm getting closer to finding this building

Something about the corner of this building that caught my eye.

claude_24hrs · « **Reply #97 on:** March 29, 2006, 11:25:39 PM »

I would think that teams they still in Italy.

libra · « **Reply #98 on:** March 29, 2006, 11:28:55 PM »

Boingo, I'm afraid that's not it. Lake's one has a more elaborate, intricate facade.

Does everyone think it is a gate or "porta"? It seems more so than a building. Let me know so I can narrow it down. I've spent an hour looking through pics of many portas in Sicily and I don't see one with such a facade.

Will try again during weekend.

( poor Boingo , I'm sorry that I brought the Lake picture into this
