TAR14 EP1: 'Don’t Let a Cheese Hit Me' (Switzerland)
puddin:
Thanks for putting that together Neobie!! :yess:
I was trying to guess where Linda and Steven are, from the episode 1 preview clip and think they are near the pitstop? I can see other people through the trees and S/L are trying to get to the other side of the river ( which is actually a brook ).. I think its here but its a guess. Is there too much snow on the ground to be Stechelberg?

Wherever Steve & Linda are, I'm almost positive they're in last. They just seem so cut off from where the other teams might be.

Note that in the background while Mel and Mike are opening the clue envelope, no cheeses are by the shed with the man in the tan coat. So they must be one of the first teams there. Later on in another shot of Victor and Tammy running back up the hill, and Mel is on the ground with a broken carrier, we can see the same man by the shed and at least two piles of two cheeses are stacked against the wall. Later, we have Mel and Mike completing the task and behind them are four stacks of four cheeses each, so we can determine that if Mel and Mike were first at the task, they are now in fifth place when the complete it.

I think that Tammy/Victor and Mark/Mike got to the cheese task first. When we see Mike/Mel and Luke/Margie, the first two teams are climbing the hill to the cheese or at the cheese. So in the vid caps all those teams take two cheese wheels a trip, which means they have to climb the hill a second time. Jamie/Cara take 4 cheese wheels down first trip. So I would think that Mel/Mike arrived 3rd and got passed by Luke/Margie and Cara/Jamie.

Okay, so Cara & Jamie comes in fourth! I'm pretty happy with that! And of course Linda & Steve take the train to Sequesterville -- after coming in last to the Pit Stop.

I think you got it exactly pudding. They missed the bridge for some reason. I have been trying to decide how they get from the cheese task to the pit stop.... train or taxi?????

My earlier thoughts are incorrect, Belle Book. I made my order on gingerman's post and not by going back and looking at the vid caps of the cheese stacks. As Neobie said, Mel/Mike are 4th. I appears they arrived at the cheese task in a dead heat with Luke/Margie for 3rd/4th and that Luke/Margie finished the task before them. When Mel/Mike at stacking their 4th cheese wheel, there are 3 not 4 full stacks of cheese wheels on the rack. Sorry for misleading you.
