BJ cheers on as Tyler screams out: "banzai"
Wanda has a deep water phobia
Desiree worries; water is 29 degrees Celsius
Yolanda has no shoes so she did it
Monica (thanks to Slowhatch), David might be in the background. (thanks to supsandalee)

This is a very popular pool among young people. If you are at all interested in bathing suit fashion, this is the place to go. There are 25-meter and 50-meter open-air pools with a water temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. Open daily 7:00 - 22:15. Admission: 150 rbls. Monthly membership: 200 - 750 rbls. The place also offers a mini-golf court, 5 tennis courts, beauty salon and a restaurant.

ep. 2 roadblock: BJ, Dave, Lake, Joseph, Jeremy, Desiree, Danielle, Ray, Fran, Joni.
*** press release: encouraged by the other teams, another racer jumps off a high dive despite their inability to swim.
That's Mojo
Monica/Joseph, BJ/Tyler, and Eric/Jeremy(beach bums) know how to swim so we still have Yolanda, Michelle, David, Double D, Fran/Barry
banzai:
puddin, can we ask double d, how's the food in Italy? Then we know they survived up to that leg. I don't think they'll answer. What's a clever way to ask online?

I promised I wouldn't ask anything about the race , sorry ..they all know about RFF and that we like spoilers :-[
never0102:
You should Congradulate the Dees for finally having the hot girls make it past the second leg, or ask them if they feel like they are getting Kami and Karli edit from the fifth season
Chateau d If:
Count the matryoshka dolls.
Area:
Using the picture of the stage I estimated that the three tables have diameters of 21.0, 10.3, and 3.3 feet (the accuracy is artificial, its just an artifact of using a ruler against my monitor). The width of the ring-shaped tables is 1.7 feet. The gap or missing part of each ring is about 2 feet wide. All together the table top area is 157 square feet.
Density:
I see 12, 8, 7, and 6 dolls that have diameters of about one half their heights. I arranged on the 157 square feet of tabletop (gedanken experiment here) 58 of the 12 dolls, 88 of the 8 dolls, 100 of the 7 dolls, and 117 of the 6 dolls with a spatial coverage density of 80%. That means that, looking down, 80% of the table top is covered by a doll.
How Many Dolls:
Looking at the shot of dolls next to Lake I estimated 7 dolls inside the 6 doll. From that, just say that the 7 is 10 dolls, the 8 is 12 dolls, and the 12 is 14 dolls. It does not look like these dolls go to the extreme of the example I posted earlier. Working it all out there are 3804 dolls. Taking all the dolls apart would involve 3441 acts of separation.
How long to find a clue:
Assume that there are 9 clues hidden in the collection. Then the expected average number of separations a team would have to do is 382. Say that it takes 1 second to separate a doll. Then one racer should find a clue in 382 seconds or just over 6 min. Half that time for both doing the task. If it takes longer that one second to get a doll apart then the expected time gets longer in proportion. Sometimes they get stuck and it is hard to open them.
