TAR7 Promo Vidcaps Spoiler inside
gingerman28:
Nice to see someone finally start to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. In LAX gates 70 to 78 are United Airlines gates; gates 40 to 49 are American Airlines. Teams could split up and go on both American and United, but not easy to switch as United is in Terminal 7 and American is across the road in Terminal 4. We had report that teams were on United were heading for New York. This is not the most direct way to Lima, Peru. American connects through Miami. United has no flights to Lima. Fastest way would be by Mexican airlines connecting through Mexico City. Those flights arrive 12 hours ahead of flights connecting through New York or Miami. But I guess because of sponsorship concerns teams must at least start off on American or United. So after spending a night on the plane, the teams next spend the night on the beach. This has been the usual pattern for the past few races (Montevideo, Iceland.) The first day seems to have been spent in and around Lima and on the beach at Ancon. If they take the bus the next morning to Santiago de Surco (which we see on one bus running between Ancon and SdeSurco) they could be going to another wine making center (more stomping on grapes?) or they could be headed up into the Andes. The area along the coast in and around Lima is a flat, desert plane and no zip-lines crossing canyons would be possible. So I think on the third day they will be headed up into the mountains. This is where we find the descendents of the Inca Indians; each town has different costumes and headdressses; and this is where some of the more famous Peruvian sites are located. Just as Xi'an China is best known for the Terra Cotta Army (which was never shown in the previews) Peru is famous for the ruined city of Machu Picchu (and it would be strange if TAR did not somehow arrive there.) We also find Llamas up thar in them thar hills (and we have seen the teams struggle with these) Also of note are the cities of Cusco and Arequipa. Along with the deepest canyon in the world (it is twice the depth of the Grand Canyon) Colca Canyon. Also Lake Titicaca and the Sacrid Valley. So lots of places to visit in Peru, so perhaps we will have more than one day here. What tasks have we seen? Digging in the sand for a time clue (6:00AM for one); teams pushing rickshaws in some kind of race; working with Llama teams; and the famous (just can't have a TAR without it) zip line down a cliff and across a canyon. All of these tasks seem to be team efforts so far, so no hint at what a Roadblock might be. More info to come now that Survivor is over tonight. CBS just has so much promio time and too highly rated Reality Shows on at the same time complicates matters.
Chateau d If:
I think the cap above with this note "once they get off the buses, stormtrooping to the clue box" has the all the teams that take the AA flight.
So, do they ask if it is the earliest like Dennois & Erika did, and Kris & Jon did, and get told the wrong information?
AA = Ask Another

OMG !! Why dont they just tell us who is eliminated ^/^ . Bianca or was it Deb..international language teacher.. Chuck I beleive speaks fluent Spanish and has lived in Peru ..I'll go check my preview and BRB..
Bianca teaches languages ..to international students.. .
Chuck is the friendly one and will be the one to get the other teams to help them . Common everyday people ..not movie stars or millonares .( they are a riot) Chuck lived in Brazil for a year ..visited Peru , Australia and speaks fluent Portuguese.
one team chooses to lead two especially disagreeable llamas and spends much of the task dodging showers of spit. We know thats Patrick & Mom ..
Another team decides to carry the heavy baskets, but one of them nearly passes-out from exhaustion caused by the high altitude. vidcaps Bianca & Deb ( thanks to Banzais Eagle Eye) Brian & Gregg
Llamas Vidcaps / Gretchen & Wife Patrick & mom
puddin:
{l{ thanks for the motivation banzai !
Just checking
Brian & Gregg grey shirt
then can we assume that the Basket carriers take the truck , I said assume so i'm probably wrong ? *8/
Note the colors of the truck walls are different but , I see a females hand with a clue / paper to Ryans right helping to break his fall as the child hugs him / pushes him back.
Ryan & Chuck are herders and may do well if the pick the Llama task ..just throwing that in ..

You are right puddin, Chuck lived in Brazil, not Spain, and speaks Portugese, not Spanish.
I think this clue will be Bianca. She says in her video that she lived in Spain for several months. Or it could be Debbie, who teaches English to multi-cultural people.
