Thanks for clarifying leg 5; we have the same outline but yours is clearer.  One point about your race itinerary. TAR has always been touted as as "race around the world" so your itinerary would only take them 3/4 around world and then back again so the total milegage would mount up.

Very well written Goody , now I can skip the show tomorrow night  ]*[
I just can't see how the cave can be a Roadblock? Gretchen has fallen through a hole in the cave .. she screams for help . We see Meredith coming towards her ..noone else , flashes of Kelly & Ucheena ,arrives before Meredith as far as I can tell  . Now how does he arrive before the crew or the guides ? Does he take the time to borrow a jumpsuit and a head lamp / whatever and rush to her side before other people/teams / guides / that may be closer? I just don't see it that way ?  </]

Thanks you both, I was just really bored and was temporarily banned from another forum, lol. I was wondering about that too puddin, and it being a Detour makes a hell of a lot more sense because Merideth is shown there. I'll edit more tomorrow...

Just to clear a few things up .. I was wrong about the Ostrich being the cause of the accident , the Bro's were speeding they didn't hit the Ostrich , it was their own fault. Someone was hurt , not one of the Bro's someone else , the accident was bad and someone goes to the hospital but we don't see it . One team  saw the Bro's accident and just kept driving , another team stopped to help but waved the other teams by ,there was no point of the other teams stopping too.

 }^! Your up late Gammy  |#' So what do you think ? The boys wreck their jeep  and now we know the Bros were at fault with the Jeep crash  {}{ . Maybe they don't get a replacement Jeep and up the creek without a paddle ? I already switched my picks  ^&# .

  Perhaps since the brothers have crashed, they must wait for a replacement vehicle and this puts them way, way behind just as Bola was. But he was saved by the "to be continued" but in this case I think that the pit stop is the final blow and the Brothers may just have been eliminated.

wow!!  I just read this whole thread and what brilliant people are here!!  I love it!! <[/  I think they get another vehicle.  you don't have to go fast to turn a jeep over, just turn it in the wrong way , and you are at least on your side!!!  if the terraine is  hilly, you would roll!! |(

Just to clear a few things up .. I was wrong about the Ostrich being the cause of the accident , the Bro's were speeding they didn't hit the Ostrich , it was their own fault. Someone was hurt , not one of the Bro's someone else , the accident was bad and someone goes to the hospital but we don't see it . One team  saw the Bro's accident and just kept driving , another team stopped to help but waved the other teams by ,there was no point of the other teams stopping too.

Wow, that's a lot of info, where was it clarified puddin?
Silly me, thinking they ran over an ostrich  ^/^

Anyways, they only get a replacement vehicle if the breakdown of their current vehicle wasn't their fault (like the boats). So if the Brothers were the ones to blame with the accident, and injure a camera man/crew member, they could be in real trouble. I see them getting another vehicle but having to accept a penalty before getting it.

Being shown in the previews is a good thing but not when you're all bloody and your car turns over. Even though Gretchen and the Brothers were shown in the previews during a really bad situation I think both teams will be safe next week (wait, TONIGHT) and it is another team that will get the boot and be Philiminated.

About the Cave Roadblock/Detour, here are things that leads me to think that it is a Detour/Roadblock:

Roadblock:
- Convo between Merry and Grouchy before Grouchy falls. Grouchy: Merideth! , Merry: Come this way! , *Grouchy falls*. The way I see it, Gretchen was the one who did the Roadblock, finished it, and was returning to where their teamates were (also in the cave). Merideth was just giving her directions.
- Kelly is shown in the caves
- Uchenna is shown in the caves
- Gretchen (?) is shown crawling through a packed space, I would think that Merideth would have been there if it was that small of a place
- Teams cannot be more than twenty feet apart
- Uchenna/Kelly/Gretchen are shown in the DARK with some sort of night-vision camera, Merideth is shown somewhere with light (probably camera light) leading me to think that the teams had to GO IN THE CAVE before getting the Roadblock clue. The people doing the Roadblock must then do in DEEPER while the other people wait in a safer part of the cave where the crew is able to put their cameras in and their lights

If the last reason for the challenge to be a Roadblock is true, they might enter here:

while the Roadblock-doers enter by means of this:


Detour:
- Merideth's suit-thing is dirty leading me to think that he has been down there for a while
- Merideth reaches Gretchen BEFORE the crew does. Weird because if I was a camera man I'd stop filming if a Grandma falls down a cave. I'd also call the other people to tell them
- Its very possible that Ron and Joyce were with Kelly and Uchenna but was not shown to confuse people


 *(^ I'm baffled...

puddin - Where did you find this information about the accident?  Is it true? I saw this re-posted on other boards.

This is what I will think will happen.

First hour:

FF: Ray & Deana and maybe Meredith & Gretchen (not sure how two teams will try to get the FF at the same time, but Ray has already crossed to the other side, waiting for Deana)

Detour: Should be the cave task

Road Block: Not shown

Second Hour:

Detour will come first: Feeding meat to lions

Then accident of Brian & Greg. Lynn & Alex stop to help.

Roadblock: Shooting of spears.

Yield should also be in second hour, as it should appear in Leg 3, 6 and 9.

 *[/  Hi everyone, I have a question.  Why is everyone so sure that Rob & Amber don't take the fast forward?
They will be the first ones to leave the Pit Stop.

This is bothering me.  Just a gutt feeling.

Yes, they are the ones departing first but most of us believe that there will be major bunching up at the Airport forcing them to lose their lead over some of the teams.
When the teams arrive at Jo'Brug, South Africa. It is possible that they get beaten to it and Rob wouldn't be stupid enough to try to go for it when he knows two other teams want to attempt it.

Just speculation..

 ,,>(  Thank you.  I was confused with Romber leaving first and the lack of screen caps of them, that they might have taken the FF.

M&G were alone in the cave , the crew helped them . The other teams were already gone . My guess, M&G get the lucky NEL free pass ]**]

One thiing that people don't seem to realize, it is possible to turn a jeep back on its feet again with help. The jeep fliipped, but it doesn't seem damaged enough not to be driveable.

I've been trying to figure out what this is ?Why the close up as the camara pans over the wreck? Is that the gas tank cap ? Maybe its leaking , hard to tell if thats liquid ? We also see the rear view mirror , i'm pretty sure anyway .


It looks pretty bad to me .

The spear throwing event which x_kicks has as the roadblock AFTER the crash of the Land Rover is not possible since in the spear throwing Brian is wearing his blue short sleeved shirt while in the final crash scene he is wearing white sleeveless shirt. The spear throwing may be part of the Detour which has FEED the lions or HUNT the linons as the two tasks.

An Accident Heats Up 'The Amazing Race'

March 29, 2005
As "The Amazing Race 7" heats up with four teams eliminated and only six remaining to claim the big prize money, CBS airs an action-packed, two-hour episode of the reality series tonight, 9-11 p.m.

"Survivor: All Stars" winners AMBER and ROB finished last week's episode in first place. The couple has really kicked the game up a notch as Rob shows his gamesmanship, manipulating his way through a variety of challenges, added to which the duo seems to be really lucky when they stumble onto one of their destinations, helping vault them into first place.

Their fellow competitors are none too happy that they are still around. It became quite obvious last Tuesday that LYNN is not one of their fans, when he commented, "The bottom line, they're kind of like an STD. You've got to protect yourself from them, and the only way you can do it is just keep yourself away from them."

This week the race takes the teams to South Africa for a cave climbing challenge, one of the most dangerous events to date. And one of the contestants pays the price, taking a tumble. It looks like it might be GRETCHEN, who comes up covered in blood.

Then two teams race for the first Fast Forward of game seven in a competition that measures both their balance and their fear of heights.

Also, the racers visit a local orphanage in an emotional journey that may be the cause for one team getting into a serious Jeep accident. Will it keep the racers from reaching the Pit Stop?

For a sneak peek at Tuesday's two-hour "Amazing Race 7," tune in to tonight's ET.

Remaining Racers:

RAY/DEANA Dating On And Off
LYNN/ALEX Boyfriends
UCHENNA/JOYCE Married
RON/KELLY Dating
ROB/AMBER Engaged
MEREDITH/GRETCHEN Retired Couple
BRIAN/GREG Brothers

Puddin, care to explain how you got your "inside info" ? I'm just happy that you didn't list Merideth and Gretchen as one of the teams that are in the running for elimination... ]&]
