Topic: TAR16 - EP4: "We Are No Longer in the Bible Belt" (Germany)

[caper]

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.

Look in the dark??

Look in the dark??

There are a lot of brightly lit buildings, etc.    I'm just reaching in the "dark"

[chill_sd]

I like Caper's idea.  The task would be similar to the Aussie Slang Roadblock.  And wasn't there a Sherlock Holmes task like that in London once?

That was a detour where teams had to follow clues that led them to Baker Street. Season 7 leg 10.

It sounds too much like a copy of season 7 just with the Beatles??? I'm not sure they would do such a thing again.

I wouldn't put it past them...

I don't see a problem with them doing something similar to that task. Season 7 was quite a while ago.

Speaking of repeats, this leg will start and end in the same countries as the uber-leg in season nine. In fact, they start is about the same place and end a couple hundred miles apart.

Now that's a repeat.

What do you mean? I personally think that the Hamburg episode is a single elimination leg.
Are you saying teams will have to immediately go to France after meeting Phil at the mat?

Omg. That would be soooo EPIC!!!

Didn't the TAR9 uber-leg start in Brazil? We're in Argentina now, but yes, they will finish very close by!

If you look on the main page for TAR over at CBS there is a picture of Jeff and Jordan eating something, Jordan is plugging her nose...it looks like it is in a bowl...there is people playing instruments behind them, I don't know how to bring it over here so I thought I would mention it in case someone else can bring it over and wants too.


Here you go someone on AABB (BB board) got it....

[Slowhatch]

An accordion! I knew one would show up (at least one per season, a production mandate). Now all we need are drunken locals and the season will be complete. 

[DianeC]

Does that look like that German stuff you were talking about that starts with an "L"? Looks like sauerkraut to me...

[georgiapeach]

You know, this leg is so jam packed, I am starting to wonder if the Beatles task could be something the next morning BEFORE they go on to France?

[nmbeach]

I know the preview makes it look like Jordan's in trouble, but I don't think this is the leg where they go out.  Maybe the next one.  I heard an interview(can't remember where) that Jeff said they started out on top, and got knocked down, but then they came back.  So, I'm thinking this might be the week they came back.  I do think they get knocked out next week or at least the following week.  I love Jeff & Jordan, so I hope they stay around at least another week, even though I know they dont' win.

The windows behind them make me think they are on a boat.  Maybe a restaurant on the water?

[Evan_Weinstein]

is that garlic??

The "noodle-like" stuff looks too long to have come from a clove of garlic, even a clove of elephant garlic.

Sauerkraut does not smell very good.

hmmm... are you talking about Das Feuerschiff Restaurant?

Season 9 went from Brazil to Russia to Germany, this season would (if it happens) go from Argentina to Germany to France. Not at all the same starting or ending locations, and not that close to each other, either.

[DavidJunior]

he was off on the starting point.

but what he's saying is that the leg would end very close to where the uber-leg ended.

not that it's necessarily an uber-leg itself.

Believe we are on to something with the floating restuarant , however the music specialty here is jazz, not the instruments behind jj.
