4/12 TAR EP8 ? Title "Mow 'Em Down Like Grass"

<< < (16/18) > >>

Pedaler:
Puddin,  Don't kill yourself over vid cap #90.  That building may have no impact on the race.  Sometimes, the previews give scenes of an area just for background information.

As for the eyemail, I thought it was interesting that Ron and Kelly were mentioned to be in second place.  I don't recall race team placements normally being shown.  I wonder if that's a hint that they come in last next leg because of their bickering or first in spite of their bickering.

 {l{ OK I called Meghan in charge of the CBS newspath about The Early Show interview tomorrow and asked her if she could confirm the eliminated team would be on or not , she said that it  "is" scheduled that way but ,they don't know whats going to happen on the Amazing Race tonight ..and thats all she knows right now ! So....

puddin:

I'm going with the idea that they are in the final four and not going to NY until the 10th. CBS more than likely planned the wedding and honeymoon around all of the TAR events. You are right. Though, their TAR obligations can't just be put aside because of their wedding. I would guess that even if CBS were open to a team wanting to not go on TES, Romber is their cash cow, so it would be difficult. One thing to consider though is that they don't have to be in studio for the interview. If the wedding and honeymoon truly conflict with their elimination, CBS could arrange a remote from anywhere for the interview just to make all parties happy. I won't rule anything out just yet. Finally, we don't know where they are getting married (somewhere tropical? My guess is Hawaii) but since they have everything pretty much being done for them, they could feasibly be in NY on a Wednesday morning to do interviews and be on the ground halfway around the world by Friday morning, in time for a Saturday wedding.

I was up late tonight surfing around for some press releases or indication that the show would be going off schedule and found this site WKYT Program Schedule that has their programs specifically listed through June. It has TAR on the schedule at 9pm on 4/12 (of course), 4/19, 4/26, 5/3 and then the 2-hour finale from 9-11pm on 5/10. It also confirms scheduling of what it calls "Bob and Amber(hee): The Wedding" from 9-11pm on 5/24. Just in case there was anyone waiting for an official sort of confirmation.

Like Puddin' I have not been able to find the building in pix 90. However, with the many pictures I have found of the Jama Masjid the more I think that this is not the Friday Temple at all. The temple inside is a square courtyard 100 meters square and has a solid red stone surface. No trees. No grass, No shrubs. On the outside the three main gates are at the top of a long wide flight of stairs and the temple is surrounded by a busy commercial area with the Chandni Chowk or central market on one side. On the other side of the market area is the Red Fort and the Lahore Gate. Inside the Red Fort are large grassy areas with paths, shrubs, trees. This locale is more like that seen in the Kelly and Ron picture. Now they may have left the Jama Masjid as this temple surely has been shown in the opening credit flashby (two tall mineret towers and three onion shaped domes). So it may be that they go to the Jama Majid first then across to the Red Fort (one of Old Delhi's most famous landmarks) and then finally out to the Chandni Chowk where they pick up there Tonga for a race to who knows where.

Other famous landmarks in Old Delhi are the Feroze Shah Kotla, Raj Ghat Gandhi, and the Rang Mahal. Any one of these might be the pit stop where the last team to arrive is saved by the NELBell.
