TAR 18 Ep 3: "We Had a Lot of Evil Spirits Apparently" (Japan)
Chateau d If:
--- Quote from: Slowhatch on March 04, 2011, 09:40:05 PM ---So...flights arrive in the early morning. Then (maybe) they collect their cars from a carousel somewhere in or near Shibuya (unless there's an intermediate unmentioned stop).
C/J have an accident while approaching the freeway to take them to the shrine/archery. Teams spotted at the shrine around 1:30. Judging by the sunlight, the mud/water detour takes place in the late afternoon. I haven't found the mud patch yet. It's a smallish town ringed by hills and containing farm plots--also I assume something reasonably close to Yuhi falls. My guess for the moment is Kaisei township. And an unknown pitstop finishes the day.

Thanks to your lead, I think the mud slide location may be near the Soga Plum Grove. Note the scraggly-trunked plum trees in the mud shots and the the tall wind-maker poles in the background of Kisha & Jen's running shot. Also, hills match in the running shot. And the sun's illumination is consistent with the location.

We also have this background if it helps narrow it down? Almost looks like condos back there!

Well color me stupid........I have looked through every post in this thread about 4 times and I can not find any reference to a trip to a hospital. I do know we have screencaps from promos showing Mel in dire straights, sitting in what is probably an ambulance. Where is the link to where it says he goes to the hospital please.
I remember in TAR14 all the CBS hoopla about Margie fainting. Also from the extra videos or the next episode we do see her in an ambulance recuperating, but she never went to the hospital as CBS lead us to belieive. To quote Shakespeare, "lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Thanks in advance.

It isn't in the spoiler thread...it came from an Interview that Gary and Mallory did, and was I believe, an unintended bit of spoilerish info revealed, but does not actually ID Mel as the "victim".
The quote is:
--- Quote ---Season 18 has more medical treatments than Season 17, with the medical crew taking competitors to hospitals for stitches and hypothermia. Mallory assured that safety is a very high priority, because “it wouldn’t look too good” for anyone to be seriously injured.

We have quite a lot of Media spoilerish comments this time, I have tried to bold them in the Media thread as I posted them there.
georgiapeach:
Here is another view to see if that helps?
georgiapeach:
And I do think we are missing a location...there is too much unexplained time.
Can we get any sense of who is doing the late mud? It would be interesting if it was M&M. :o
