TAR16 - EP 12: "Huger than Huge" FINALE!! (summary in posts 1thru 3)
theschnauzers:
--- Quote ---Keoghan, who was at the finish line when the show was filmed late last year, would not reveal the winner, of course, but he does believe that the show’s fans are rooting for the beloved professional bull riders to win and that the ending isn’t necessarily happy for everyone. Keoghan foreshadowed that Upton and Horne are confronted by another team at the mat.
“This season,” he teased, “we have a very tense finish.”
--- End quote ---
Boy what a misleading quote by the writer. I finally figured out that the "not happy for everyone" reference isn't about the Cowboys, but the confrontation Brent-Caite have with both Joe-Heidi and Carol-Brandy; and the possibility that Brent might have violated the six roadblock rule. The fact that Caite is presumably obligated to do the roadblock has been a factor in my mind that they wouldn't win the final leg.
There's always been a question about how Phil would handle a penalty on the final leg, and the way this season has gone, that possibility playing out would fit right in.

In Shanghai, when we had two Road Blocks, maybe they didn't count the second one int o the overall tally, because the person was forced to do it.
Is that possible, or do we know that the two Shanghai Leg #1 Road Blocks both count. :duno:

Both count, since they're both RBs anyway :lol:

2. It was also the site of the 10/17/1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake at 504pm PDT interrupting pre-game ceremonies and postponing the start of the third game1989 Bay Area World Series between the Giants and the Oakland Athletics for 10 days.

This is an untrue statement. The epicenter of the Loma Prieta earthquake is at ......Loma Prieta Peak, California, about 70 miles south as the crow flies from Candlestick Park. Candlestick Park is famous that day because Al Michaels was on an open mike talking about the upcoming World Series game when the earthquake occured.
I kept looking at Candlestick to try to figure out how those guys, Bonds, etc are able to hit the baseball into the ocean. Then it dawned on me that ATT Park was built.........lol.......oh well, senility is fun.

Dr. Rox, it is OK for you to take potshots at me as long as you can take them in return. Where did I say that the epicenter of the Loma Prieta Earthquake was at Candlestick Park? I did not. It should be clear that I said "site of the 10/17/1989 Loma Eathquake at 504pm PDR interrupting pre-game ceremonies." You cannot argue with that, as it is unquestionably true. Where the epicenter was was of no interest to me (although I would expect from the name attached to the event after-the-fact that it was in Loma Prieta).

CBS posted a twitvid of TAR. Don't know if anything new is shown as I can't play vids on my stupid computer.

--- End quote ---
Do we actually have a quote from the rules that state each member of a team must do an equal number of roadblock tasks?
And if Caite has to do the climb after Brent comes down who tells him it does not count and that Caite must also do it to count? From a picture in the Washington Post today it shows Dan grabbing the clue envelope which is hanging on a wire at the top of the climb. And would this be considered a penalty (as asked in mswood's ep 12 quiz)?
