EP6: "I'm Sick Of Doing Stuff I Can't Do "
Chateau d If:
She's got the bandage on at the start of the Roadblock too. See # 36. I'm thinking it is just a sprain because she is shown driving with a wrist wrap in next week's preview.
But the injury. When did it occur? It's looking like it happened on the way to the Roadblock. To be sure, sometime between when they read the clue at the volcano (clue with the FF) and when they line up to watch Wally.
In Sucks, there is a poster who claims to have been there plus or minus a few days and that it can get and did get so foggy that you can't see the volcano. Speculation there is that there was a volcano related FF task that we don't see due to the fog. Or (my speculation) did something happen in doing the FF and things got bad because of the fog. So it got cut.
Anybody feel like fine tooth combing the run up/down to the volcano, the van departure order with who's still there, and what ever else seems out of place? }}

If this helps the Gaghans were asked how they got to the Volcano so fast and told the Clown on the Finish Line that some teams stopped to potty and change their clothes ..finding the exact times maybe impossable to pinpoint . Really interesting theory though Chateau :yaya:
off to find that Sugar cane & rum place.. |(

Did some double-checking and fine combing on TAR6. The clue box at the volcano site definitely had another fast forward. You see it very clearly as the Bransens read the clue about the coffee beans; in fact one girl is actually reading the FF very closely; later on the way back to the vans, one of the Linz boys is carrying the green folder openly. So although Phil says in Ep5 in Panama that "This is the only Fast Forward hiddend on the entire race" clever editing has the first part of his statement in a voice over "This is the only Fast Forward".....then on camera he continues "hidden on the entire race." I'm no audio engineer but there seems to be a change in pitch between the voice over and the on camera bit. So probably re-edited after the second FF was called off.
When the teams leave the volcano, everyone is off down the road while the Bransens go into the headquarters building/shop to buy a map; one of the sisters is holding the green FF.
But later when the the teams arrive at the coffee plantation, they are all together (except for the Weavers who are missing). The Bransen girl in the green tee shirt has no bandage on her wrist at this point. But this whole episode is strange. The teams although leaving at different times all arrive simu ltaneously and run toward the clue box. BUT all of the teams stop and watch as the Paolos decide on who to yield. Then they all wait until the Paolos are through and then let them be the first at the clue box. Such courtesy?
As the Paolos read the clue, the Godlewski sisters are seen picking up the next clue; the Gaghans read the clue next ("second place") and as they do we see Papa Bransen pickup a clue. Next the Bransens read theirs ("in third place")-the sister in Green still has no bandage on her wrist; next we have the Linz (in fourth place) and finally we get to the Godlewskies ("in fifth place") although we saw them pick up the clue before the Bransens. We do not see the bandaged wrist until later when she and her sister are standing by the rail as Meg Linz finds her red bean. This is finally the time the bandage has bee put on.
So she may indeed have fallen during the FF try; but did not have the sprain tended to until there was time during the Roadblock for the medical staff to attend to it. And the way all the teams are bunched up (except for the Weavers) and the order they are seen going down to find the bean there may indeed have been an aborted FF and when the teams assembled again at the coffee plantation, the pecking order was revised somehow.
There was a Fast Forward envelope without any doubt. But why have a FF at the time as you have a Yield. This would mean that if you took the FF you could not be yielded. They have been on the same ep before, but not on the same task as the yield. I stand corrected if I remember wrongly.
