TAR14 EP9: 'Our Parents Will Cry Themselves to Death' (China)
TARAsia Fan:
You made some nice educated guesses, FLFan. :tup:
For me, I feel the Fast Forward will come into play when Jaime/Cara .... just joking! :lol:
puddin:
The web clue tells us that the dancing is a detour. The lady laughing with the jacket that we see might be Luke or Marge?
littlewop:
People are speculating that T/V arrived between L/M & J/K, the only problem with that is Phil has said that L/M & J/K arrive within moments of each other. So I think whatever the arrival order is, Luke & Margie & Jen & Kisha arrive back to back in some order.

I don't think RFF was built on blind speculation; random musings may be fun, we've always been more keen on the analyzing than the guessing... (What FLFan said!) That said, here's a more mathematical approach to the possible arrival orders of the trio...
Margie's standing at the left edge of the oval pattern, which places her around one-fifth from the left side of the plaque rectangle. We see her talking to Phil to the right of the cameraman, and directly behind her is the tip of the Moon Tower. From that we construct the below diagram.
There's only one approach onto the platform pier. Given the way the teams and Phil are arranged, doesn't it suggest the order our three teams arrived? (Remember: teams are unlikely to scramble onto the raised plaque, run three-quarters of 360° around Phil and the greeter, or cut between Phil and earlier teams.)

My take is that Luke and Marge are not happy that Kisha and Jen beat them to the pitstop. Where Tammy/Vic and Cara/Jamie place is ones guess.

Actually my take is that K/J and M/L were neck'n'neck until the fishing/duck thing. The fishing thing being after the 2 clue box smackdowns! Then Luke got bit and it put M/L behind K/J, since the bite had to be examined and filmed!! Margie may not be happy with K/J beating them, but her outrage is directed at K/J for their treatment of Luke. Their dismissiveness and snickering are only making her madder.
The newest promo shows C/J dancing together so it is clearly not a RB. I am speculating that dancing is one of the detour options and T/V opted to do that also. In the picture where the dance lady is giggling behind her hand, the jacket appears to belong to Victor, unless I got my colors mixed up. T/V thereby missed the smackdowns, but got caught in the mat meltdown! Probably M/L decided to forego the dancing option as possibly did K/J, which is why we only saw those 2 teams in action in the previous promos.
Irregardless of language barriers and Jaime's reported Ugly American problem with the dance judge, I am still firmly of the opinion that C/J smoke their detour. Speculating that C/J are 1st and long gone before the mat meltdown. T/V have problems with learning the routine, hence the giggling, so are delayed a bit behind C/J.
To keep M/L's 1st or 4th string going, I speculate: C/J, K/J, T/V and M/L at the mat. M/M arrive in Guilin after the fat lady has sang and are met at the first clue box by Phil.
Of course, once I get home and step thru the promo, I may change my mind.

I agree with you that Cara & Jamie come in first. I think LaKisha & Jen come in second, but I think Margie & Luke come in right behind them. Tammy & Victor arrive while the other two teams are yelling at each other, having had a lot of problems at the dancing Detour. Of course, Mark & Michael are Philiminated.

I'm not sure where this originated ........but if the teams have 45 minutes to kill and then we get that Luke and Marge conf in what is still daylight well then again, this does not bode well for the Brothers sighting at 11pm Guangzhou to Guilin.
