EP1 ~ "Real Fast! Quack, Quack!"

<< < (44/54) > >>

Aventus:
Is it out of cogitation that the first leg is actually a "double one"? I mean those Legs where they meet Phil but are given a new clue and are told that it's not a Pit Stop?

Well, wind is blowing on Bilal/Sai'eed direction... looks like they are going to be the first team to say good-bye to the competition.

puddin:
heres another article RNO

 
Phil warns the teams early on that there will be some surprises on the race, and he’s not kidding. The first surprise shows up on the first leg, and no one sees it coming (though one racer guesses it without even realizing it). I can’t tell you what the surprise is, of course, but it’ll keep the racers on their toes for the reason of the adventure.

As for the tasks, they aren’t much different from what teams have done in the past. There is a Roadblock on the first leg, which is rare, and it involves, food, unfortunately. The Detour offers a choice between a task that is physical but not necessarily time-consuming and a task that is less physical but possibly more time-consuming. Both require accuracy and attention to detail.

One rarity, however, is that teams must complete a very physical task in order to reach the Pit Stop. This means that teams who get to the location of the Pit Stop first won’t necessarily get to the mat first. Instead of a footrace to the mat, which is what we usually see, we see a different kind of struggle. It’s a good determination of who is physically fit and who will have more trouble with those kinds of activities.

^^ In the same article:

--- Quote ---Vipul & Arti: These two are a really sweet couple (think Jon & Kris from season 6) and I like them pretty much immediately. They have nothing but nice things to say about each other, which I always like to hear. Unfortunately, they're another team with a run of bad luck.
--- End quote ---


^^ That's a minor spoiler. They're goner  ???


--- Quote ---Erwin & Godwin: These brothers are strong and smart, but that’s not all the race is about - there’s also an element of luck. Unfortunately, they don’t have a whole lot of it. But fortunately, they’re in pretty good spirits anyway.
--- End quote ---

The Cho brothers also have some bad lucks.

Slowhatch:
Just guessing from what I'm reading:
* The preview tapes/DVDs went out to fewer reviewers than in past seasons;
* The tapes show the whole episode, not just 3/4.

puddin:
^^ we know the Chos go fairly far ..Vipul & Arti &  Bilal & Sa’eeed goners ? Seems the majority thinks so too ?
( as in confessionals ?) Plus Bilal: Bilal & Sa’eeed take time out to pray  :groan: ?

Sa’eed & Bilal: Bilal & Sa’eeed are nice guys and all of the other teams have nothing but good things to say about them.
