TAR 18 Ep 3: "We Had a Lot of Evil Spirits Apparently" (Japan)
DrRox:
Thanks Peach!!!
georgiapeach:
I have been impressed with the caps this season, they are often telling a story, and some of the caps are telling one very purposefully.
For instance, the ONE cap of racers with the starting line clue in hand ...was Amanda and Kris.
So this time we have two caps still...and sure they could be scene fillers or not.
So maybe we need to look at THIS view of Fuji and see where it was taken?
Chateau d If:
Here: Shizuoka Prefecture Fujinomiya
Panoramio
Prophet:
Wow, what in the world are they doing down in the Shizuoka Prefecture? None of the tasks call for them to go that far west.
An extra task over there would make it late afternoon for driving back to the Detour.
TJ999 had already identified the second one as the floating torri at Itsukushima Shrine. I think we have to consider that filler because that is WAY out of the way for this leg.
DrRox:

He (not me - I live in Seattle) posted a note on our version of the TAR18 spoiler thread (mirroring this one!) at 2010/11/25 THU 8:26AM JST, with details as follows (translated from Japanese - don't worry, I'm a Japanese native :lol:)
-------
LIVE FROM NARITA TERMINAL 2! (Arrival Lobby)
CX524 arrived 80 minutes late!
The teams that arrived earlier are probably already headed into town.
The SQ flight 538 that arrived via Singapore arrived at Terminal1 around the same time as this one, so there's no way I could spot anyone coming off of that flight.
Just now, Margie/Luke, Kynt/Vyxsin, Zev/Justin and Jamie/Cara (in that order) exited from EXIT B and got into cars that were waiting for them.
The staff members were guarding tightly, so I couldn't quite get close to the racers (I wanted to know where the clue told them to go), but I shouted out
"Go! Kynt/Vyxsin, go!"
and Vyxsin turned around to look at me and flashed a nice smile! :yess:
Jamie/Cara were standing elsewhere, so I got closer to them and called out their name, and they said
"Thanks for recognizing us"

Too bad kenchan's contact didn't differenciate what kind of cars they got into........taxis, crew cars or self drive? It does seem to rule out the express train to Tokyo. If they had taken the train, they would have gone down another level, to the train station.
Maybe Shizuoka Prefecture Fujinomiya is the location of the Pit Stop? Is there a bullet train from there back to Narita? The Shin-Fuji Bullet Train Station is pretty close to Fujinomiya. This would give quick access to Narita Airport for trip to China and also for Phil to exit the area after eliminating a team and heading to Lijiang.
There are actually 4 bullet train stations along the south side of Mt Fuji........Shin-Fuji, Mishima, Atami, Odawara. Seems like a good area to hide the teams at a Pit Stop, before going to China.
