• Two contestants in a TV production being filmed by foreigners in Phuket are on the verge of collapse after taking turns pulling each other around Phuket City as they raced against the clock in the midday heat.

This was in ref to the Margie/Luke pic -- does taking turns mean this is not a roadblock, but a general task?

I could see a Team using only one of their members (Victor) to pull the rickshaw to the PitStop. Then they would incur a penalty for not following directions.

Good pick-up mwooden :tup: . I'm thinking its a Detour ( 4 pairs of contestants) and perhaps the taking the pic with the Tiger is the general task because the teams were on flight with the photo of the "monkey" but we also have the Elephant massage at the zoo so? Maybe the gym has something to do with the other detour option? The herbal shop something Fast Forward? I have to go re-read page 1 now ......
eta: on futher reading Neobies info, it seems the rickshaws and herbal shop go together.

That makes sense to have the zoo be the general task (and first task as teams are so bunched there). I'm thinking it's kind of a "round robin" of zoo tasks -- check all these things off (elephant massage, tiger pic, etc) before you go?
There's a lot of info in Neobie's blurb, but I think the herbal shop and rickshaws could be separate.
Do you get the impression that the gym was just a staging ground for production or that it was actually used by racers?
Neobie:
Perhaps the herbal shop holds the clue for the rickshaw task, and directs teams to pick up their rickshaw on the nearby Soi Romani?
Or is only one team held up by the slow shopkeeper? That would make it a Fast Forward or a Detour?
YES on the herbal shop owner being slow! (The older man outside who also speaks Cantonese, not the younger one at the counter who speaks only Thai.) You don't know how long I was trying to interrogate him for information! :res:

"... taking turns pulling each other around..." = the rickshaw roadblock
I feel like you guys read into things a little too much sometimes ;D

It looks like Cara is at both the elephant "massage" task and the posing with a tiger task based on what she is wearing.
