TAR9 - EP1 - What we know and What we do not know

<< < (2/3) > >>

Neobie:
Yay to gingerman28!

I would probably guess that Fran/Barry and Lake/Michelle make it onto the same bus, they're rappelling together.

gingerman28:
Shots on this morning's TES confirm that the teams arrive at the Red Rock Amphitheatre riding in the back of pickup trucks! Can't wait until some safety nut complains to CBS about promoting this very unsafe procedure!!

Only new scenes are ones of John and Scott arriving at a local market in a volkswagon bug taxi and then having trouble shopping without speaking Portugese. Note their already fairly full shopping bags so they must be near the end of this task.

Also somewhere around here the teams must get into Volkswagon Bugs and drive themselves instead of taking taxi cabs. Perhaps from downtown Brotas out to the Alaya Adventure site to do the waterfall rappel.

puddin:
We know of no shopping task ? where does it fit in ? same goes with the zip-line ..so many challenges  :lol:

Nov 7th /8th
Teams start arriving at Denver
Sao Paulo Airport in Brazil
Get clue from Hotel Unique
 Detour /Motorhead vs. Rotorhead
warehouse to watch an indigenous cultural ceremony/ candle lighting to recieve nest clue , to the ~
rest stop /stadium

this is a rough guess at the Brazil challenges from articles ~
Nov 7~9th
Santa Rita bus to Brotas ? to
Detour ?or to get clue ? Rapell off the waterfall Brotas?

and then leg 2 ~ ( insert date )

challenge in Brazil where they'll have to turn sugarcane into fuel to operate their automobiles

A roadblock in Brazil will require them to rappel down a 500-foot building

and now we have a picture of Lake zip-lining


Lake Garner navigated his way on a zip line during "The Amazing Race." The show kicks off with a two-hour special tonight at 9 on CBS.

charlierose:
Do you guys remember the picture in TV Guide that had the two friends, going out of a pariking lot, with bags.  Maybe this picture was taken when they were finishing this task?

Great Gingerman, You Rock.  :jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy:

I cant wait to the start of the race.  See you all, after the race.  :hearts:

Mister RC:

--- Quote ---11. Day three ends with the teams exhausted, stinking from the lack of showers, and ready to grab some sleep (and eats!) -well,  ten teams will; the eleventh team heads off for the next 26 days in Losers' Lodge in Sequesterville (Rio would be nice!!) Who will end up being Philiminated first?  Without knowing anything about the teams, I am guessing that it may be Wanda and Desidee or John and Scott.
--- End quote ---

I agree with your pick on W/D or J/S bitting it first.  Also gonna add L/J, but we'll see.  Hopefully we'll be treated to another close race to the pitstop (a la Ron/Kelly).  On that note, without knowing anything more than what I've read, I'm guessing that Joseph and Monica cross the finish line first.  I'll likely change my mind tonight, but for now, I'm sticking with that.  For this leg, ten-to-one the Double Dees win it, and the prize is $10,000 each.  I'm pulling for them to take this first leg since things will turn out in a way that might have E/J and B/T competing to get to the pitstop, and they both beat each other and/or get lost.

Anyway, thanks for everything, gman!


EDIT: New prediction of the winner: Double Dee for 1 Million
