Topic: TAR 17 Ep 7 " I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong!" (Russia)

From CBS:

Sunday, Nov. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)
THE AMAZING RACE-In a final showdown to avoid elimination, two racers struggle to master a traditional Russian lawn game.  Phil Keoghan hosts.

Okay, sorry Dan, I wasn't getting your point. 

But let's look back at the actual quote anyway...it is two RACERS not two TEAMS.... which is moot since we know the lawn game will be a RB.

But pretty much the promos never give away the outcome for a particular team....

I read this as elimination leg, two racers struggling, and possibly suggesting the RB comes last. And infer that the whatever team is shown struggling may be safe.

Don't the promos usually do that anyway?

Would Kevin and Michael end up last place in Episode 7? 

I wouldn't want that to happen. Is this true?

[DrRox]

CBS and WRP are very good at putting out short press releases and then putting "other" people in the preview to make viewers think their fav team is about to be eliminated. I doubt very seriously that either Brooke or Michael are the two racers alluded to in that press release.

[Benedicto]

Jill & Thomas hadn't been sighted like as obvious as the 2 F/F's on the final leg? Here's hope to them being eliminated  Actually, anyone winning except them would be one of the bests.

I hope Gary & Mallory survives though the preview shatters any hopes of them surviving but maybe hello, reverse-psychology? <3 and this leg they also got a foreshadowing confesh but it was Nick/Vicki who succumbed.

Exactly.

Remember last week we saw Mallory going "Why is this so hard??" during the film detour...when she actually said it during her search for Duck End. Creative editing...

TEAMS GO TO THE CIRCUS IN RUSSIA, BUT IT'S NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES WHEN MULTIPLE TEAMS MISREAD A CLUE, ULTIMATELY THREATENING THEIR POSITIONS IN THE GAME,
ON "THE AMAZING RACE," SUNDAY, NOV. 7

"I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong" (Russia) — Teams are clowning around when they learn a traditional Russian circus act, but it's no joke when multiple teams make a critical error and misread a clue, jeopardizing their positions in the Race, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, Nov. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Phil Keoghan is host.

"Misread a clue."  Where have we heard that one before?

I sure hope the teams that misread a clue don't include Nat & Kat!  Of course, even if they do, I still believe they'll survive.

You may want to go back and check the photo of the three teams running in Hong Kong. It isn't clear, but the blue backpacks and clothes of the 3rd couple match Thomas & Jill. No one was actually seen on the final leg though. It is speculated that these would be our final three since the 4th place team is said to be hours behind. I personally find all 3 of the final teams worthy of winning this race.

I would love to see Gary & Mallory last longer than they do as well, but this would appear to be the end of the road for them.

We also have the sightings in Korea...

[Prophet]

Who have you seen in Korea?

[georgiapeach]

Perhaps you can check the first post in the Timeline thread? All the info is there.

[Prophet]

Has anyone seen this new promo:

Anyone want to break this down frame by frame?

[tarobbsessed24]

if nick and vicki lie to michael and kevin ....

[Slowhatch]

Thanks, Prophet. Going by the artwork in the background (photo source), they're at the Avtovo circus (location)

[Paron]

if nick and vicki lie to michael and kevin ....

Nick's under-the-breath "moron" sounds like anger over being accused, so I think (and hope!) he didn't lie.

[Slowhatch]

And it looks like they're waiting to board a City Tour bus at a stop next to the Church of the Savior on Blood.

[Zack.]

I think there might be an HoO bunch at the circus? Thomas/Jill, Kevin, and Claire are all running towards an outdoor cluebox together and I don't think that taxis would be enough to get them all there at the exact same time.

eta Nevermind that the caps have Jill/Thomas and Nick/Vicki performing the plate spinning at the same time 

But I get the feeling that circus might be a general task. Thomas is doing both the spinning and the accordion playing (though no one else is seen doing this), and unless they switch or get U-Turned, I don't see why he'd have to do both.

[Slowhatch]

The shot of teams walking was taken here, about a block away from the church; I'm guessing when "multiple teams make a critical error" they got the wrong address or church name.

[georgiapeach]

Caps coming shortly...that means 30+ minutes

[georgiapeach]

promo going up upstream!! post 4

Thanks for the help Slowhatch, you are a wonder!!

[Slowhatch]

The way he's jumping (and the teams behind him) make me think they got hit with HoO at Avtovo. Also, I thought this season might set a record with two fake bears; but that bear might be real (see the ppt presentation here).
