The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers
DrRox:
The banner/flag behind the band.......red/blue and something on it.......
The Municipality of Berchtesgaden Coat of Arms from Wikipedia.com
In reading this morning about Coats of Arms, I always thought they were always the same. This morning I found out they could be different, as long as they all had the same elememts. Anyway, I think the torte throwing was in Berchtesgaden somwhere. I think the colors match. All of the other coats of arms from Berchtesgadener Land I found were different colors. Maybe after 1st episode, we will get something else to narrow it down.
I have to give credit to MsShrek. I would have never picked up on the banner/flag in the background. Good eyes, Ms Shrek

1. The scene of the beergarden is typically German, not Austrian(even though Salzburg in on the border). It's very easy to cross over to Bertechsgaden, maybe 25 miels from Salzburg. I predict that that task will be in Germany.
2. The ballet is quintessentially Russian. I predict we will see it in one of the Siberian cities.

Dr. Rox, I agree with Bertechsgaden and even predicted it as one possibility.

Kudos to you too. I remember the part of the post about the ballet, but I guess I read right past the german part. It might have been my brain thought you meant another place with the misspelling Bertechsgaden.....but I usually don't do that. If all the right letters are there, I usually get the meaning and just attribute it to a typo. I spent the last 11 years marking papers and sure did circle a lot of bad spelling......maybe by brain refuses to do it anymore. Spelling wasn't a big part of what I did, but I would point it out to my students. They hated that. I know I dont spell everything correctly everytime, but I do try to proof read and catch them. I associate correcting other people's spelling on the internet to throwing rocks at glass houses.
Again, kudos for making that observation on Bavaria and not Austria.
DrRox:
A note for Peach and anyone else wondering, it is 45 km (30 miles approx) drive straight up the valley from Ruhpolding (paragliding) to either Schonau am Konigssee (segway event) and Berchtesgaden (possible location of torte throwing (cake/slime event). Then about a 30 minute drive to the Schloss Hellbrunn and the Pit Stop.
It's a good thing I am not in charge, lol, cuz I know exactly where I would plant that tent or at least where I would put the clue box for the detour information.... :bounce ... but then again, all my close friends know how warped I am and all the RFF people haven't learned yet.
Chateau d If:
BG is definitely involved here. The banner in our screen caps belongs to Hoffbrauhaus Berchtesgaden And their website.
I can't find where they have the big tent on GE.
