TAR 18 Ep 8 "I Cannot Deal with your Psycho Behavior" (Austria)

<< < (70/89) > >>

DrRox:
I guess I am the only one that thinks this, but that comment by the Cowboys, to me, means that there is at least ONE team behind them at that point. Since Peach said that was very early after arriving in Vienna, I started looking to see how the other teams could get ahead of the Cowboys. Like last week, it appears to me that the Cowboys are on different flights than the other teams. The Cowboys dont seem to be adept at changing their transportation choices on the fly. We saw that last week and in their first season, the bus trip in Chile.

We wont know for sure till tonight, but I think the Cowboys are shocked that there is at least one book left when they leave. What they said is pretty common phrase down in this part of the world, btw.

Prophet:
After hearing that explanation it makes a lot of sense to me that that could be the meaning behind their statement. I tend to think that the whole book thing is going to be less important than that promo makes it seem. The real thing that concerns me about the cowboys is that they are not present in any of those detour clips.

JETandCORDfan:
Jet: There is still a book left.

Cord: Oh my Gravy.

Jet: There is no way there is anybody behind us.


(( Interesting... ))

I haven't posted in a long while but all the speculation on the eating task got me to develop my own speculation.....

What we do know is that teams have to eat a rather large meal in a certain amount of time.

Therefore if the ferris wheel takes 12 minutes for a single revolution and a team can finish their meal in that period of time they are off an running to the next taks.  What happens if they can't finish it in those 12 minutes?  My guess is that they have to continue on the ferris wheel until they do finish the meal.  So if a team doesn't finish in the first 12 minutes they keep going, but if they finish 5 minutes later, of course they can't get off until 7 minutes later so that gives them 24 minutes on the ferris wheel...and to take it further, if they can't finish in 24 minutes but actually finish in 25 minutes, well that's too bad because they still have to wait 11 minutes before they can exit the ferris wheel and continue to their next task.   So really they can eat at their own pace but ultimately when they leave the task is determined by the time they can actually exit the ferris wheel which is in intervals of 12 minutes.

mswood:
An interesting idea, the only reason I doubt it is that we do see one team who switched detours.  If, (if) they choose eating first, then way switch when its just a matter of spending another turn (or even two) to do the task.  I would think you would (pardon the pun) eat up more time in switching to another task.
