--- Quote ---1. It is likely to be a TBC in spite of what TAR Asia indicates and MICHAEL D wants.

puddin asked for opinions and we gave it. :groan:
I am beginning to feel that this might be a TBC episode too though.
TARAsia Fan:
Here's the CBS Distribution Map for Sunday. The areas in red will get the Steelers-Jets game.
This will include SE Texas, New Orleans, parts of Mississippi, Atlanta (sorry, Peach), Tampa-St. Pete, parts of South Carolina, most of North Carolina, eastern and western Viriginia, most of West Virginia, Cincinnati, eastern KY, most of PA except Philadelphia, most of Wisconsin, most of Michigan, most of New York including NYC and Albany, northern NJ and all of Connecticut. So be ready for a delay of TAR in the affected areas.
Arizona gets the game too, but won't experience a delay.

TRAVEL TO GOROM-GOROM
Here is some new information, primarily about bus travel in the Sahel region of northeastern Burkina Faso(where most of the camels are), to address the possibility of gorom-gorom being the place where the camel action takes place. Keep in mind that July 14 will be Saturday morning, so I have deleted parts that apply to other days of the week. Also, the road from Ouagadougou was laid with tarmac in 2006 as far as Dori to prevent washouts during the rainy season. AR12 teams would presumably switch from rail to road in Kaya where the rail runs out. That might involve charter mini-buses(that seems the most sensible to me since eveyone will have to be on the same train and there is only one road to Gorom-Gorom that goes from Ouagadougou to Kaya to Dori to Gorom-Gorom. Below is information on the limited public bus options:
To Dori from Ouagadougou: There are 3 options: SOGEBAF, TSR, and STMB. SOGEBAF and TSR go from Ouaga to Dori twice daily, and occasionally SOGEBAF will add additional busses if there is demand or to go to Gorom and Markoye. SOGEBAF and TSR both leave from the Sankariare gare de SOGEBAF. (The TSR station is directly next to the SOGEBAF station) They both leave at 7h and 16h. Ouaga- Dori costs 5000 cfa. On Sunday both companies send a bus to Markoye at the same time. STMB goes from Ouaga to Dori but only once a day. The bus leaves from the main STMB bus station at 15h. It costs 5000cfa.
From Dori to other parts of the Sahel: Go to the gare routiere de Dori. It is actually the same place as the STMB gare. At the gare you will find lots of bush taxis going to all sorts of destinations. It is uncertain where or when they actually go. It can be said that they don’t go there that often. Marché day in Dori(thursday) will definitely provide more options. Definitely only once day or maybe only once a week. Good luck.
From Dori to Gorom-Gorom: Go next door to the TSR gare and ask about anything going to Gorum. There is almost always at least one camion per day going to Gorum. The rainy season will definitely make the trip a lot more difficult, offering fewer cars and depending on the level of the water can be impassable in places. Alternatively, as stated earlier, SOGEBAF and maybe TSR go direct from Ouaga to Gorum on Wednesday at 10h and to Markoye Sunday at 10h.
Editor's Note - July 14 is indeed a Saturday as pointed out by a later post by GegorgiaPeach. However, as anticipated by Peach it has no impact on the deletions I made from my original source.
puddin:
Pa. here but if not Philly I can pick it up on UHF antenna :yess: thanks Ken!
Michael is right I did ask for opinions on TBC and have a few thoughts --
In Lorena's scene with the camel she has a confessional but we don't see it, probably because it is given somewhere they don't want us to see as in the pitstop.
TPTB for once have not shown us the teams arriving at the pitstop (how dare they!)
So, I'll go with the so called TBC this week as well -- no boobie prize this week for first place :yikes
Note: I'm not playing the games so really don't care either way if a team is eliminated or not but there are a few I'd like to see go out like now ;D!
