TAR14 EP7: 'Gorilla? Gorilla?? Gorilla???' (Phuket, Thailand)
Ashe:
Sadly, after this one, the show takes a week off. Which is going to suck, because this season has been one of the most exciting ones yet (at least to me)! Even more so than TAR12, which I also thought was very exciting.

I feel like you guys read into things a little too much sometimes ;D

They are trying to determine if the rickshaw task is a DETOUR or a ROADBLOCK; because if only one person is pulling the rickshaw it would be the roadblock; but if they take turns doing it, it may be a detour. It could also be a general task. (probably unlikely since it is very physically demanding)

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:

You so rock Neobie for using your time off to run around Thailand and China for all of us! :jam: :jumpy: :thankyou:
I am jealous that you got to see the locations first hand!

I agree honeybee and thought it was a very good pick-up by mwooden :jam:

I have a theory. From what I've read, Margie is suffering from heat exhaustion, not a heat stroke. Acording to the article on Wikipedia; Blood pressure may drop significantly from dehydration, leading to possible fainting or dizziness, especially if the victim stands suddenly. The rickshaw task is physicaly demanding, and it most definitaly would lead to Margie's attack. Combine this with the sighting of the rickshaws near the pitstop, I'm thinking the rickshaw task is a regular task in which they are required to pull them to the pitstop entrance.
In the case of Margie, this puts her pulling a rickshaw, dropping it to make a quick run to the matt, and stopping. All the sudden she's standing still. What happens next we've already seen.
