TAR14 EP1: 'Don’t Let a Cheese Hit Me' (Switzerland)

<< < (7/91) > >>

Kiwi Jay:
Beg your pardon! So do we know what the two detour options are! I still find it funny that most teams head down the mountain with the carrier whereas Mel was sliding down with cheese in hand!

Slowhatch:

Ah concur. Red and green shutters everywhere. The side mouldings/decorations may be distinctive, but...maybe not. And there's places with flagpoles in front in different parts of Interlaken and Matten, so this won't be easy. And it doesn't have to be a famous building, either: Chalet Arnika, because it was an ordinary inn, made it harder to pinpoint.

puddin:
Just throwing this out as a potential pitstop area, because I like it and can't look at Interlaken area anymore tonight.

Staubbach falls, Lauterbrunnen

Kiwi Jay:
it looks the part but there are so many places like the pitstop that right now I think it will be hard to find it until we get a better look!!

DrRox:
I think the cheese deal is that each team member has to get two down to the bottom. I would think that if a cheese got away, as with the case of Luke, then that cheese doesn't count. I really have had a hard time even thinking about this task since, I think it was puddin, made the comment about "imported chedder." I don't really know why, but when I see a cheese picture, I just think of that and start laughing.

Anyway, could WRP be so diabolical to have the cheese carriers constructed so they would all break? I have wondered about that. From the videos, it certainly makes good television to see the cheese racks break and have cheese rollin down the hill. I doubt the "natives" run down the mountain with cheese. Running will increase th force on the rack. But doesn't Amanda's break while it is being loaded? It almost looks to me that the cheese are too big for the racks.......maybe we are just seeing the teams that had problems and some of the teams get down with one trip....and are off to the Pit Stop.

Anyway, I think it is 4 per team to the wooden racks at the bottom.

Here is something I picked up watching the part of the vids from the dam jump. As they are leaving, Tammy Jih says, "I can't believe WE did that!"  My eyes are old and not so good, but can someone see if her lips are moving and saying that.....lol  I have been burned TOO many times when TPTB edit voice overs from one scene, on another scene. Lawyers, by their nature, usually are pretty good with correct word use. I am just wondering if WRP put her voice from some other event over them running off the bridge. So far in all the vidcaps, I only see one team member making that jump.
