 :cartwheel:

I was beside myself when I saw them!

 :cartwheel:

Puddin, you're not going to believe this but that place that I guessed was the pit stop on Blue Rock Road really is the pit stop!

Check it out!

I just noticed on second watching that the address of the Rohrer Family Farm was on the mailbox as the Linz Family pulled in.

And yes.  It matches the one I found before broadcast.  :t-up:

Too bad the poster at Twop's couldn't have had more details for the promo tape ..I was like " Hey this isn't right !"

That poster had to ask others "who are the Frats?"

And it's a good thing they did not remember "Rohrer" was the name because "Rohrer Family Farm"  Googles to a different place on the other side of Lancaster.  We would have confidently arrived at the wrong place.  And you what happens to teams who do that.

I don't want to be eliminated on the first leg!

Puddin:  You hit right on the mark: the sooners were the soonest. With all the pre-show hype, the Blacks sure got their money's worth of face time.

Saw this ~~

Lancaster County farm plays host to TV’s ‘Amazing Race’
By Jane Holahan
Lancaster New Era

Published: Sep 28, 2005 1:22 PM EST
LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - The reality show “The Amazing Race: Family Edition” sneaked into Lancaster County this summer, filming an episode that aired on the season premiere of the show Tuesday night on CBS.
The farm of P. Kenneth Rohrer, 3407 Blue Rock Road, became the final destination of the first installment for the 10 families competing in the race.

In the next 10 weeks, they will be traveling all over the world and the winning family will take home $1 million.

“They filmed here in July,” Rohrer says. “I can’t really say anything else. I signed an agreement that said we weren’t allowed to talk about it for three years. I’m not sure why it’s so long. We assumed that when it came on the air, it wouldn’t matter, but that’s the agreement.”

“They were real quiet when they were here,” says neighbor Glenn Rohrer, who’s not related to Rohrer.

There's a fellow (lady?) who maintains a nifty graphical representation of each episode here

You can see each team's progress and assess their decision-making.

Thanks for the link, Slowhatch.  I recall seeing those for the last couple of seasons.

The chart highlights the dramatic change in placings from the completion of the detour to the pit stop.  The trip wasn't that far.  Some of the teams will need to greatly improve their navigational skills if they want to continue in the race.

Agree that the Rogers have been MIA (missing in action) but they haven't been given enough face time yet to be eliminated next. So if patterns follow it looks bad for the Bransens and Gaghan.  The Paolos will stick around for awhile; TAR always needs the fighting team (a la Jon and Victoria, et al) to spice things up and to have a team the audience loves to hate.

According to the local article, there a lots of Rohrers and Brubakers wandering around, but I think you've got it with the two blue silos! :t-up:

But the silos were at Rohrer's Family Farm.

Is the same general 40 acres as

Looking closely, I found the location of the Weaver buggy crash.

The TAR premiere pulled in so-so ratings. In the first hour, viewers preferred watching Geena Davis to the Paolos (understandable), and in the second hour they preferred watching William Shatner (not understandable).CBS did OK with the age demographics, though. Source

Thanks Slowhatch. I just found those numbers, and posted them in what I thought was the ratings thread (Official Amazing Race Numbers)

Not good at all; but this follows our dire predictions!
