Heres a picture of TnT leaving the Wall pitstop for this Episode



--- Quote from: Chateau d If on September 19, 2006, 03:07:49 AM ---I found the location of the Pit Stop on Google Earth.  With that I could estimate the teams’ checkin times:

Tyler & James 9:33 am
Duke & Lauren 9:48 am
Peter & Sarah 9:58 am
Dustin & Kandice 10:17 am
Rob & Kimberly 10:23 am
Kellie & Jamie 10:24 am
Erwin & Godwin 10:39 am
Tom & Terry 10:43 am
Lyn & Karlyn 10:50 am
David & Mary 11:20 am
Vipul & Arti 11:40 am

Just a little caveat here and that is I slammed the first half of times forward by about and hour thanks to the 9:15 that shows on Duke's watch.  So, by pure shadow angles alone Tyler & James would be about 8:25 am.

I'm sorry....yes, that's what I meant.   :-[        So, since it's dark outside, then I assume the first team arrived between 4 and 5pm...correct?  If so, they leave between 4 and 5am.  Again, is that right? 

 

puddin:
the first team arrived at Tyler & James 9:33 am
They have to drive to the Beijing border to board a train to Mongolia , Charie says : Wednesday, May 31 was cold and rainy in .. the late morning when the teams arrivived in UB .
Gman wrote ( page 1 of this thread )
 train leaves at 10:30PM

Reality Junkee:

--- Quote from: puddin on September 24, 2006, 01:49:14 PM ---well I could do a short summary , not quite like Gmans but I'll give it a shot

-  teams leave the Great Wall at Juyongguan pitstop area
-  Drive from Beijing to the China-Mongolia border.
- arrived in UB that morning on a train from the Chinese border
- In UB the teams run up to a temple ,Gandan Monastery , grab an envelope, tore it open, ran to a waiting jeep, loaded up and drove away.
- the instructions said that they should get in their jeep and drive to Terelj
- The instructions continued, saying that they should park their jeep in the village of Terelj, where they would meet some horses and a nomad who would help them with the horses.
- we know from the clues above several teams broke down or got stuck in mud on the way to Terelj
- In Terelj , Detour  - Either ride the horses or load jugs of water ? onto an ox driven buckboard and deliver them from one point to another ?
- we see several teams ( above posts ) trying these tasks . All teams accounted for at the Detour except Jamie/ Kellie Duke/Lauren.
- clues suggest the Roadblock is last and the only evidence of the Roadblock is " archer" shooting flaming arrows into the air assumes at a target ? per tv guide
- after the Roadblock is complete teams head the pitstop located above the Hotel Mongolia  located in Gachuurt,Mongolia .

spoiler evidence , who could or should be eliminated one of :
Jamie/Kellie
Duke/Lauren
Tom/Terry

I'm leaning towards Jamie & Kellie to be eliminated but thats just a guess .

Sorry, have been very busy this weekend - theatre (wonderful preformance at the Arena of Caberet), football -( hey the skins finally won one!) so have been neglectful of TAR.  As outlined by Puddin this is about what we know.  The teams leave late at night and must drive to the train station and then wait for the train to UB.

The only DETOUR task we have seen is the one with the water cans and ox carts.  

According to CBS, the teams ride the horses towards the ROADBLOCK.  So this is probably after the DETOUR and not part of it, I would think.

puddin:
Your RIGHT ! thats why I need my Gman  :hearts: !
good football day Gman ...I turned off the Nascar after 2 of my drivers were out of it  (:;)
and now we have Eagles kicking the 49ers butts  :groan:

ETA the CBS Press Clues :
Several Alliances Begin to Form on the Next Episode of Amazing Race  9/19/06

THE PRESSURE OF THE RACE HITS EVERYONE AS ONE TEAM STRUGGLES TO RECOVER AFTER BEING THROWN FROM A HORSE, WHILE SEVERAL TEAMS START TO FORM AN ALLIANCE, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 10," SUNDAY, SEPT. 24

"Can Horses Smell Fear" -- One team goes into an emotional tailspin when they're thrown from their horse during a detour, while alliances start forming between several of the teams, on THE AMAZING RACE 10, Sunday, Sept. 24 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The pressure starts to take its toll on several of the racers as precious time is lost when teams are forced to switch tasks mid-stream, while others struggle to finish a flaming roadblock. Meanwhile, alliances start to form between several of the teams who realize they might be considered the underdogs of the race.
CBS website clues :
Two Racers are left in an emotional tailspin when they're thrown from their horses on the way to the Detour .
Several teams are left stranded on the side of the road after their vehicles break down in the countryside.
An alliance is formed when five teams realize they are underdogs.

( CBS conflicts itself yet again )  :meow:
