Remember that we have seen teams have to do a task in the same country before, as they leave the pitstop....
In season 10, teams performed the RB of a leg while still in Morocco (prepare and eat camel meat) before leaving for Spain where we had the detour (infamous tomatoes).
Perhaps we will see something similar here (just spec...) ?? I can see the Beatles task being better suited to daylight anyway, specially if it involves the museum.

Actually, I agree with Peach. A Beatles Museum task could be a daylight item. And that could take place before the head to France.

Okay...so just did a quick rewatch of the season 10 Intersecrtion.
Teams Intersected>>had the option of doing the FF together(cowlips)
Non-FF teams did a detour while Intersected (move mattresses or make paper)
and then were un-Intersected for the RB.
=========================================
So I guess we have choices for our ep...y'all help me out with this okay?? Trying to work this out, thinking out loud: peach's stream of consciousness :colors
Tasks to play with:
Bungee (Intersected)
Metro (Intersected)
Beer (non-Intersected)
Eating (non-Intersected)
"Beatles centric puzzle"
One choice:
The bungee is an Intersected FF that only one pair of the Intersected teams has to do, whiile the other half of the Intersected team has to use the metro to get to ...somewhere.
My concern on this is why would we see three different teams doing this?? If Brandy and Dan knew Joe(?) and Allie had already chosen this...why would they do it?? ???
So we also see non Intersected teams (Cowboys and JJ) doing beer drinking and eating...so that seems to fit with caper's proposed eat or drink detour choice.
UNLESS the eating is a FF...and this is where Jeff wants to kill Jordan for not being competitve enough.
So instead of a FF, could it be Intersect for a RB here...which would be the bungee/other half has to use the metro to get to the somewhere as caper said:
--- Quote from: caper on March 05, 2010, 06:38:16 AM ---Here is my two cents: Could it go like this- Intersection (roadblock) : teams pair off, one part of team goes directly to bungee and waits for other part of team to complete task - said task is to navigate the subway and find various early beatle locales spread out through the city in a kind of scavenger hunt type way picking up clues to next part of task as they go. Finally arriving at bungee, they must look (from up on the platform)for a beatle-esque landmark where next route marker is, before completing bungee. Teams then split back to individual teams, and next comes detour - eat or drink. :duno:
--- End quote ---
But then where is the FF?? Could THAT have been the Beatles task, and it wasn't used, so we don't get to see it?? Or something else entirely (eating)?
And is the metro part of the Intersected task alone? Or part of a Beatles scavenger hunt??
So does this work? :duno:
Intersect>> RB (two parts, one new "team" bungees, while the other half takes the metro to the somewhere (to meet up again??) , un-Intersect for the Detour? FF (Beatles) not used...not seen :(
OR
Intersect>> FF (bungee-one team member does it, while the other half of the team goes to somewhere), other teams have to do an Intersected RB (Beatles, use the metro, scavenger hunt while split up), Then Detour eat or drink...
OR
Beer>>route info clue
FF>> nasty eating (fits with them making the Eating challenges a choice in recent seasons) would have to be Brent/Caite/JJ right?? And possibly failed? (clues::Jeff wants to kill Jordan for not being competitve, B/C recovering from food poisoning)
RB>>Intersected bungee (Cowboys--Detectives, Brandy/Carol/Dan/Jordan, by process of elim: Steve/Allie with Joe/Heidi)
Unintersected Detour: Beatles vs something else
Or we could have no FF at all, or WORSE, it could be unshown. :groan:
And then the Beatles task could be after the next AM post Pitstop... or not
Questions:
*Is the Bungee part of a RB (Intersected)...or a FF? (doubt)
*Is the Metro part of the RB(Intersected) "Take the Metro to rejoin your team somewhere" ...
OR
part of an Intersected Beatles task?
*When OR not do we see the Beatles task??
*Is the FF the eating task, or is that part of the detour? If it is eating, do teams succeed or not?
*Could the beer be a general route clue (possible prob, Caite's age) or it that part of a Detour. And if it is part of a Detour, WHY do the Cowboys choose this one when reportedly Cord doesn't drink? ???
Okay, I think I have just confused myself more. Y'all watch for more previews today, okay?? :lol:
georgiapeach:
eeeek!! Did we forget the TV Guide blurb that puddin scanned for us??
Twist or Shout >>dance or sing sounds like a perfect Beatles detour!!
My latest idea:
Beer> route marker
Intersected RB (bungee plus other half metros's to meet up with the rest of the team)
with Intersected FF>>nasty eating, Jordan fails, meaning those two teams are behind, possible JJ elim :(
Detour Twist or Shout >>Beatles tasks
I can't quite make the Joe/Allie being ahead of at least one team at the RB synch with Joe/Heidi being elim'd though, although anything can happen as we know.
Trivia experts: Has there EVER been an Intersection that had a non-elim too??
There have been FF episodes with non-elims though right??
How does THAT sound??
georgiapeach:
Just warning y'all....this could go on all day!! :funny:
Evan_Weinstein:
peach, i read from the cbspressexpress site and managed to get a copy of the TAR release, it says:
We Are No Longer In The Bible Belt" (Germany) — Racers must navigate an unfamiliar and confusing train system without their teammates, take a dive over Hamburg and reunite for a nausea-inducing lesson in German gastronomy, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, March 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is host.
so it should be the the skydive and beer comes first and food comes last
