the building near the sword of the swordfish is similar to the one in the Mojo shot
 

so for the carrying task, they all come to that place

one more thing then I'll leave
"Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me."

In Brooklyn they have buildings like the above 'Merceria' the name underneath , whatever , might be the street name .

Someone else might have more luck with the yellow pages than me; I found some "merceria" and some "orlando" but no combos.

Both Raylanda and The Nerds have been seen on the streets of Catania or Siracusa or wherever. But they have not been seen in any of the Detour or Roadblock tasks yet.  So one or the other may have gone for the FF

If there was a FF, do you think that they would go for it being so far behind?  I figure, if I'm not one of the first teams, it's already been taken.  Unless they are all bunched together somehow and on an even playing field. ???

Where (time and location) do we think the FF will occur?

For maximum advantage, the FF should occur right at the beginning of the leg.  Getting a FF in Catania might not be a big advantage because it is realtively close to the Pit Stop in Siracusa.  I am thinking the FF is near Palermo.

Teams must know how far ahead (or behind) they are because they see each other at the Pit Stop.  The Frat boys and Hippies should realize that a FF is not in their best interest right now because they each have a strong lead.  Of course they do not know the Pit Stop is on the other side of Sicily.

TES Advertised next team off the amazing race with the normal survivor cast off.


Oh-Oh! maybe it's CBS misdirection. It happened before. But maybe it's really not a NEL. I mean, they're really trying to surprise us this season, with the TBC episode in the beginning of the race, for instance.

And I'm not so sure about a FF in this leg now.

I don't see it yet either Hi-Fi , they really might have changed things up this season .
I'm going to watch a bunch old insider clips later and see if solo conf add up to elimination , one could only hope Lake's conf : "I'm still the leader of this team" is just him talking about his home life with Michele  :angel: .

the way I see it, there's no FF. 2 legs or 2 episodes in the same country means tptb wants to eliminate another team before heading to another country. in tar7, Susan/Patrick got eliminated in the 2nd leg of Argentina. Alex/Lynn got eliminated in the 2nd episode of India. in tar6, Gus got eliminated in the 2nd episode of Hungary. Hayden/Aaron got eliminated in the 2nd leg of China. The 2nd leg or the 2nd episode was designed like that to eliminate a team.

The last frame in the sequence is FR; not much help, unfortunately. The street behind them is tiled in the same sort of pattern as R/Y, so they're probably wandering around Catania.

Since Eric and Jeremy are still wearing light jackets when they seem to be searching for a clue at the Roman Amphitheatre in the Piazzo Stesicoro in Catania, I would surmise that it is shortly after sunrise when the temperatures even in November are still bearable (note how everyone is striped down to tank tops, etc. in the Mercato della Pescheria and in Siracusa. 

I will make a wild guess and say that the teams are given a clue at the Temple of Segesta (pit stop) that they are to drive to the airport in Trapani and sign up for a charter flight to Catania on ApliEagles (a charter airline group)  Flights might leave as early as 6:30AM (sunrise) which would get them to Catania airport where they have to pick up cars again and locate the Roman Amphiteatre in Piazzo Stesicoro for their next clue.  This clue would send them to the Mercato della Pescheria which is located on Via Garbaldi near the

OK, I got myself frozen out above, so will continue:

Via Garibaldi which leads down to the Duomo. 

CBS ran commercials all last night for TAR and I finished reviewing them and have found some more interesting things to ponder:

1. Shot of MO/JO leaving the Segesta Temple in the darkness of early morning (5:00AM?) They are wearing their jackets and have their backpacks on.  He is carrying blue route info card.  So are going down hill to car park and then off to where?  Trapani and a charter flight to Catania?

2.  Two scenes with Eric and Jeremy.  Both are wearing light jackets and in the first scene there are no sun shadows as the run around an old stone wall blackened with age.  In this scene neither has a backpack (left in the car?) and neither is holding a yellow or blue clue in their hand.  In a later shot, Eric and Jeremy are at a gate to some piazza, the sun is now shining and Eric is now holding a yellow clue enverlope in his hand.  Must surmise that they got the clue at the first location (old Roman ruins of some sort in or around Catania) and they look through the gate and then turn and start off again, so it looks like this is not the location they are looking for.

3.  New scenes of Jeremy picking up swordfish with Green Shirt of Eric just on the frame line; Scene of Eric and Jeremy walking down street lined with fish stalls, which changes as the title is supered to show MO/JO coming down the same street.

4.  Scene of Yolanda struggling with fish.  This task should be a snap for Ray who carried a 110 pound bell of the stairs and across the plaza to the church with any help.

5.  We now have confirmed six teams doing the DETOUR:

Selling fish - Fran and Barry.  Also scene of Barry jumping with joy and laughing so it probably did not take them long to complete this task.

Carring fish - MO/JO  (Jo is having trouble)
                  Eric/Jeremy
                  Ray/Yolanda
                  BJ/Tyler
                  Michelle/Lake

The only team unaccounted for at the detour iis David and Lori

6.  Scene of David and Lori on the street somewhere. He is wearing black tee and she is in pink tee with red sweater.  No sun so it could be early morning.  She is carrying Yellow clue envelope; he is carrying white sheets of paper (background information for a task???)

7.  Shot of Ray and Yolanda on a street.  Low angle sun, long shadows, to me means early morning.  They are carrying yellow route enverlope.  If they are on Via Orlando they are far from either the Amphitheater at Piazza Stesicoro or the Merecado della Pescheria on Via Garibaldi.

8. At the ROADBLOCK we can now account for the following teams:

     Fran and Barry
     Eric and Jeremy
     Lake and Michelle
     BJ and Tyler
     Ray and Yolanda

Missing are:

     Mo and Jo
   
     David and Lori (again)

9.  If there is a Fast Forward, it now looks like the only team to be able to take it are the Nerds.  In the past, the FF is included with the first task either Detour or Roadblock.  Thus the team taking the FF only skips one task before going directly to the pit stop.  In the first two or three TARS, teams could go for the FF right off the bat and skip two tasks. Doubt that a Yield will show up again in this Ep since there are only two during the entire race.

10. One other curious thing: in none of the shots of people on the street, doing tasks, or watching do we see any of the teams with their backpacks where they are supposed to be: on their backs.  This leads me to believe that they are again driving cars and have left the packs in the cars.  When teams in the past travel by taxi they almost always are shown taking out or putting in backpacks when the enter or leave cars. The only shot of a team with backpacks on is the shot of MO/JO leaving the Segesta Temple in the early morning.

Looking again at the commercials in the light of day (the real ones!) it almost shows clearly that some teams are approaching the fish market when it is still fairly early in the day.  Note the scenes of Ray and Yolanda on the street with very long shadows and with the sun in their faces; the shot of Yolanda carrying the swordfish and the sun is shining right into her eyes; the silhouette of two people carrying swordfish which appear to be the Hippies, with again very long low angle shadows, and finally the scene of Eric and Jeremy (not the first one when they are running around a black, stone wall, but the one at the gate) you can see that the "park, square, piazza, whatever) is in shadow and the sun is coming from the left and lights the building up to the right completely.  So the boys must be at the gate on the north side looking south with the sun coming from the east.

The only way as far as I can determine for all these teams, especially Rayanda who arrived at the pit stop at about 7:00PM, to get to Catania while it is still early or mid-morning is to fly there from Palermo or Trapani. Most likely by pre-arranged charter flights scheduled by TPTB to leave at pre-determined hours of 6:00, 7:00 and 8:00AM.  This would bunch the teams up somewhat with BJ/Tyler, Eric/Jeremy and MO/JO on the first flight; Fran/Barry, Lake/Michelle, on the second flight and Dave/Lori and Ray/Yolanda on the last flight.

There is still another possibility, way out but not out of all possibility, is that the teams have to drive somewhere else first, this could be around Mt. Etna, or in Agrigento, or Villa Imperiale del Casale, do tasks we have no knowledge of and then continue on to Catania and are all bunched up waiting for the fish market to open at 5:00AM.  Thus they have to spend another night sleeping in the open and leads to someone saying "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me!"

So again Eirc and Jeremy and BJ and Tyler will pretty much be safe for the fifth week in a row.  I never though i would say this but I WANT BUNCHING BACK!!!  This season has become the lamest season.
