puddin:
I snagged these Vidcaps from TeamJoisey @ Blows   ]**]

What most interest me right now is why the Title was changed from " Talk to the Camel" Gretchen says " Talk nice to the Camel " to " We Have a bad elephant"

So what do you all think ? Roadblock? We see Meredith , Lynn ,Amber I'm pretty sure doing this while there partner watchs .

Something interesting...The CBS website shows the route as Jodhpur, India which is in Rajasthan state.  It also has it's normal explanation of the area.

Lucknow in in Utter Pradesh state and is where the racers are when interrupted by the TBC, so it looks like they are on the move.

Gretchen looks like a million years old in that picture; its time they are put out before somebody dies!!!

I think that we have several problems facing us which now need clarifying.

First: Now that ep 8 has ended with TBC, is the program scheduled for next week, April 19, considered a continuation of ep 8 or is it ep 9 with the new title of "Talk nice to the camel"?  Does this mean that all the action in next week's show leads to the next pit stop? And will it be NEL or elimination? Phil said at the beginning that there would be EIGHT elimination legs. We have had SIX so far. So if Ep 9 is NEL that would leave ep 10 (April 26) as the Seventh elimination; ep 11 (May 3) as NEL; ep 12 (May 10 first hour as Eighth elimination; and ep 13 (May 10 second hour) as the race for home. Which does away with the  back to back NELs which we were worrying about. So it looks like:

April 19 - NEL-five teams left
April 26 - Elimination #7 - four teams left
May 3 - NEL - four teams left
May 10 First Hour - Elimination #8 - final three teams left
May 10 Second Hour - Race for Home - Winner take all!

Second: if ep 9 is just a continuation of ep 8 without a pitstop there surely is another ROADBLOCK (camel carts through a marked course of some kind) which we see Amber and Meredith driving the cart alone (with an Indian guide by their sides) with Rob and Gretchen watching and cheering them on. We also have Lynn (?) also passing Meredith. But when does this happen? The next day according to the promos, and both Rob and Amber are wearing different clothes from their rooftop appearance. Rob now has long sleeve Red shirt (his shirt on the roof was blue) and is wearing shorts (he had on long pants on the roof) Amber is now in her red tee shirt with "a" but was wearing a red and white jacket with what looks like a blue shirt underneath. So somewhere along the way they changed clothes! And Gretchen is also wearing a different jacket or shirt than she did in previous shots.

Also note the strange editing of this sequence: in no,. 5 Amber has a white paper under left armpit. In no. 10 she no longer has the paper; in no 11 the paper is back; in no.12 it is gone again.  In the live video there is even more does she or doesn't she have the paper under her arm. So the editing of this sequence is completely out of sequence.  Wonder why?

Third: is the participation in some local holiday celebration on the night of the roof top arrivals? If so it looks like all five teams are bunched up again. Everyone is spotted except Rob and Amber. So if not a pit stop what is everyone doing having fun at night? Doesn't anyone get sleep time or do they stay up all night and then race out to the camel track to start off the next day with another Roadblock?

Fourth: what is the clue that Rob and Amber get when they arrive at the rooftop (I gather in ep 9 next week we will get to see the other teams arrive.) It can't be to go to the actual pitstop at the end of ep 8 before the actual new ep 9 starts since Phil has to be on the roof to hand out clues to the next four teams and he can't then suddenly be at the actual pit stop to greet Rob and Amber again. So what does this next clue say? Go somewhere to participate in the holiday celebration? Or some other task which will occur before all the teams get together for the celebration which is not the pit stop.

Could it be that we have a pitstop at the start of next week's show which would be NEL, then the nighttime celebration and then we start of ep 9 with another Detour which leads us somewhere else, etc. etc. I can't remember in the TAR6 TBC in Budapest did the second part also include another Detour and another Roadblock before arriving at the pitstop?
