Topic: EP10 : " Don't Talk to Me like I Was an Animal or Something "

[kraziladi]

Krazi, I did a straightline measurement with Google Earth and got 4.25 miles from the Radisson to the auto plant in the overhead shot (heading NE).

 :danceC:  Thank you!  And it does look as though they would be south of the white building.  That is perfect.  I'm just learning google maps, so not so good at estimated distances ther.

[never0102]

:danceC: thanks Krazi & everyone else

listening to the promo again , a Linz boy maybe Nick yells out "Ramming Speed" before the balloons kiss.
Female voice says " you guys rule this " we don't see who says it but its during the Horse roadblock and could be dubbed ..sounds like the Godlewski with the big boobies but could be anyone .
Weavers bio says they ride horses but this is herding cattle so who knows ? we don't know that the other teams have riding experience .
We see the Weavers doing Coal and the other team doing Rails ..which one is faster ? It's hard to say ..we see at least 3 teams bunched up at the rails Linz/Sisters/Bransens ...according to Walder he " shines " at the detour task ..do they place second ?
Could be the Weavers do well this round but do they take a wrong turn again on the way to the surprise waiting for them at the mat? or as cinni has posted do they get their revenge by coming in first only to find out they keep running or whatever the twist is ?
The Godlewskis are shown having a hard time with the horses ..miss-direction ?

final thoughts
Weavers first , experience
Bransen or Linz second , no idea how they do at the roadblock ?
Godlewskis shown having a hard time with the horses ..Last place ? or do they " rule "

I have a gut feeling The sisters come in last too, because that pic of them alone at the railroad to me looks like they fell into last, but who knows, its just my gutt.  I would say Weavers first, but i cant see them beating the Linz/Branson at detour (prolly cant beat the sisters either) so they may arrive behind while other teams struggle ahead of them, and they could only pass maybe the sisters. I am just saying becuase the past 6 legs teams have come in first in two consecutive legs (Branson 3/4, Paolo 5/6, Godlewski 7/8) so now Linz will porolly hold up the tradition. Also in London AR7 it made it look like all teams struggled and like RA stuggled way ahead of other teams. 
But who knows. Like i said its just my gutt.

On further review, I do not feel that the railroad gig is at the Ogden Railroad Museum which is at the old Central Station in town, there is too much open space around the site, with several rail spurs with cars parked on them.  Looks more like that depicted at the Railroad Museum in Tooele.  Just guessing, of course.

Here is a Google Earth image that matches a promo shot.

It turns out to be taken from right in the same area as the large white building that shows up in the other shot from the Linz's basket.

The GE image below has a 4.25 mile long line going from the Park City Radisson to the white building.

[kraziladi]

Could this be the railroad ?  It's the Heber Valley Railroad, where Gman found the 618.

This picture looks like it matches the same kind of building in the screen cap below it.  If you look at the ridges toward the top.



and here's another






The screen cap here:

[puddin]

actually Sups  gets the credits for the 618 Heber Creeper and I still say this is our Railroad Depot that we see , guess we'll know soon enough  :grinC:
Good pictures Krazi  !!

[kraziladi]

Soo Sorry Sups. 

Then do they fly to Billings and do the dude ranch the next day

[supsandalee]

Good job with the Heber Valley Railroad Krazi. I couldn't find any real pictures and the Google Earth image was too blurry. To tell the truth didn't look too hard because I didn't think they would go back to a city they just visited. Guess that's what I get for thinking!  (%#

The 618 is stationed there. Sometimes the most obvious is the answer.

[Pedaler]

Then do they fly to Billings and do the dude ranch the next day

They could also fly to Jackson, Wy. 

I was looking at Chateau's timeline post and the race is running out of time.  If they go back to Heber City, it's about a 400 mile drive to Yellowstone National Park.  I don't know if the race has a whole day of driving left to spend.

[Slowhatch]

It looks like Ma Weaver scored some souvenir t-shirts for her family from MorningStar balloons: a good move if you've just been mugged by Phil.

[Chateau d If]

It also looks like they went down less than 2 miles from the start.

The start was the near the white building.  The path or dirt road in the grass is unique and it is seen when one of the Linzes comments about going down now to start the race again.

[charlierose]

I was really disappointed.  How is it possible that the Linzes going in first place get stuck in last because of a technical difficulty.  There better be a bunch next episode to make it up.  I really like these guys and they do work great as a team.

The Sisters are getting on my nerves they scream and fight to much.

Lets just hope the Linzes get back to the first places and the Weavers and sisters to last. :danceC:

[puddin]

just breezing through the insider clips

Utah state of mind:
The Bransens love Utah , Bart the Bear yada yada
http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=17444

So what :
Linz talk about the Weavers and why they were made a big deal that they slept in a bed while the linz were camped at the Balloon site . They try to figure out where they were going with what they were saying . All Linz know is they were 5 hours ahead

http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=17445

Take my sister please :
Stuck in a long line of traffic , Nick checks out the situation and quiz's the road worker about what other teams may have already come through . Nick trys to convince the worker to let them through but no go . The worker says her saw one other team . The bros want to sell Megan for 5$ because she can't figure out how to open the trailer door while they are stuck in traffic


Bratty behavior :
Weavers brag that they bragged about sleeping in a bed and that they got to say what they wanted to the linz team about using the yield
http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=17447

Get a Job:
the Weavers beg locals for money but get advice " go to work" .
http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=17443

begging for dollars :
Rebecca tells a story about a local that they tried to get money from , the lady said no . They asked another local and he said " no I don't give money to street people " ..they claim they are not street people .
http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=17448


Mommie Dearest:
The Godlewski's tals about the Weavers ..they say the girls are nice but the mom is weird ..competitive ..they wonder if shes using the kids ? maybe if the Weavers win they can use the money for therapy  :lolCX:

It happened last week to the sisters they went from tied for first to last also. the race was so badly planed out its been a moneth (next Tues) waiting for a elimination no wonder ratings have significantly declined.   It was also so stupid making teams wait for the fountain to go off.   

This race just keeps getting more rigged and rigged  RA flight turns around, and the sisters, and Linz get no time credit for there camera crew totally sucking. 


And until you race for a month with siblings you really cant complain about the sisters fighting becuase i think they are the most normal team ever to race.  I relate to the sisters more than any other team in race history. The Linz and Branson are to nice and clean its just not real, and the weavers are just nasty.  The sisters fight bicker get on each others nerves and still love each other and have fun.

[Pedaler]

Puddin, Your internet skills continue to amaze me.

A couple questions if you please:

How do you determine the URLs for the Insider videos?

If I want to view the Insider videos in Real Player, what would I change the wmv type to?

Thanks.

[puddin]

Oh I just got lucky with the insider clips , they forgot to add the Charmin commercial  :lolCX:
Pedaler you can play the links in realone
open realone
click File , copy and paste the URL
it will open up the media browser and give you an error (Action canceled ) but give it a minute and the video should load .

[Pedaler]

 :danceC:  Much appreciated, Puddin. 

[puddin]

n/p Pedaler
grabbed from EP10 ..does it look familiar to anyone ? a barn perhaps ?

[supsandalee]

[puddin]

more from the insider clips








Lindsey Bransen talks about how her sister hit her in the head during the railroad task
 

then we have this one ,
Father doesnt always know best :
Lauren :Well i think coming into the race I kept thinking , like , i think it was even at the beginning of the race I kept turning to my dad because I thought that he had the right answer and would know what to do because I was use to that growing up , dad always had the right answer , then as the race has gone on you come to realize that were just as valuable as a team as my dad and that he doesn't always have the right answer and that we may know something and see soemthing that he doesn't so ,,, I dont know I guess that was sorta interesting and nice to learn through out the race
<cut >
Walder : it isnt hard to see them grow up and mature I think every parent  wants their children to grow and be self-sufficient ,successfull people and so its a good feeling to see them mature and be able to do that ..uh its been awile since I gotton into to the ,there not little girls anymore ..you know that hurt but uh ..you know .. uh ..their young ladies now and you have to deal with it


Bad Animals
Michelle  talks about the naughty cattle  Michelle got a bruise in the shape of a duck which the girls colored in for her last night


  What the G-sisters wore on there way to what they thought was the pitstop , after the horses

the Linz background Weasels

[Chateau d If]

Puddin, could you do me a small favorino?   :yaya:

I need a screen cap taken at a very special moment of the balloons rising.  The exact moment is when the camera is looking up at the Bransen balloon just after it gets off the ground and the Linz balloon is already up high in the background of the shot (the Linz balloon is of course up higher than the Bransens.  If you can, try to take the capture with as much of the Bransens balloon visible as possible.  As the frames go by their camera rotates and some of the Bransens balloon falls off screen.

Muchas Gracias

[puddin]

not sure what you want Chateau

[Slowhatch]

Is this it?
