 A sliver of yellow here Gman , maybe the envelope is attached to the blue thingy?


ETA : DUH of course theres a yellow envelope waiting at the buoy  :whsl: >^%

Slowhatch:
The Bondurant cap on one of the Linz boys at FCI headquarters helps confirm the timelines set out by Gman, Sups and others. I still can't get the FCI pages to load; I had to pull this out of the Wayback Machine (web archive). FCI was an easy choice for the producers: each plane has a four-camera video system to record the flight for all the TopGun wannabe tourists.

CBS confirms on TES this morning that on tomorrow's TES the latest family to be eliminated on TAR8 will be on TES Wednesday morning.  But only ONE family; which means that the first hour ep7 most likely will be NON ELIMINATION .

Went back and rechecked my tape of the CBS promo, and I am 99.99% sure that the person with the peach colored blouse we see in the foreground while a go-cart with a young person with black shorts races by is indeed MA PAOLO - the shirt is not a tee as it has no sleeves, but looks more like peach colored blouse (so not one of the Bransen boys who sometimes do have orange tee shirts on) which is off one shoulder and down on the other and it looks like the hair is piled up (not long) and there is just a quick shot of what looks like a large white ear stud in the left ear (this is similar to what may shots show Ma Paolo had on her ears). So all in all it looks like a Paolo boy racing by his mama.

The timing of this event is puzzling: there are no shadows for the go-carts, or if there are shadows they are directly under the cart which would mean around noon time, but the shadows never seem to change no matter what angle we see the go-carts from. So the sun may be down so low it is blocked by the building on which the GodLew sisters are standing. But if Chateau's times are correct as arouind 11:15AM, where does this event fit in?  Could it be on the same day as the airplane gig in Mesa which we are pretty much sure is at sunrise (5:35AM or so)? No because we have one of the Bransen boys at the aeroshow with a Bondurant Black hat on.

So it may be that the Cain or Drain Detour in Costa Rica occurs so early in the day and does not take that long to accomplish that the teams are able to make the early flight to Phoenix.  Or, and this is a real big or, did the producers have a charter flight available so that team could fly directly to Phoenix which would take only 3 hours rather than the longer routes through connections in Dallas or Houston a flight which takes about 8 to 9 hours????

Still a lot of questions to work out.

Arizona's the destination on Amazing Race tonight

Arizona gets the big spotlight tonight as the featured destination on the CBS reality program The Amazing Race.

The show airs locally on KPHO (Channel 5) at 8 p.m.

The adventure program sends teams globe-trotting around the world, competing against each other in different challenges for a prize. advertisement 
 
 


In episode seven of the season, the two-hour show airing tonight, the teams will race souped-up karts at The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving on the Gila River Reservation, make a pit stop at Fort McDowell Adventures in Fountain Hills, fly fighter planes in Mesa, view the Grand Canyon's widest point, visit the Glen Canyon Dam and end up on a houseboat on Lake Powell.

According to CBS, the family edition of the show - in past seasons, teams were made up of couples; this year, it's families of four - is focusing more on U.S. destinations rather than the more exotic locales of years past.

For this season, the show's scouts were looking for places in the country rich in history.
