The Amazing Race 9, Episode 8 Preview
by Jenn Brasler -- 04/19/2006
I can report that the teams are heading to the Middle East this week, specifically Oman. Conditions there are more brutal than what the racers have been used to so far. For one thing, the sun is unforgiving, and this leg’s roadblock requires one member of each team to be under it for a potentially long time. Will that hurt any of the teams’ chances of making it to the mat before the others? Or will they just play on as they have been?

The last statement gives credence to the thought that BJ (or Tyler) is faking the scene in the sand.

They’ve always been able to find an English-speaker or muddle through with an attempt at speaking another language. Reading signs was probably not too much of a problem either, since Italian, Spanish, and German all use the Roman alphabet. But the official language of Oman is Arabic, so reading signs is definitely much more difficult there for English-speakers. Will this cause any problems? And will the Americans have any trouble getting Middle Easterners to help them out?

Most of the signs posted in this thread have Arabic and English. Only Arabic signs would suggest the teams get away from the big cities, where non-Omanese (?) rarely travel. We already figured this out.

If you’ve been missing comedic animals (practically a staple of The Amazing Race) this season, not to worry – one of the tasks requires the transportation of an animal that has no problem voicing its opinions. Look for some animal comedy gold. Also in the comedy category, a trailing team decides to entertain themselves by impersonating eliminated contestants. Leave it to these teams to find moments to be lighthearted in the midst of a grueling race.
Note that she says "a trailing team" this sort of puts to rest our idea that The Beach Boys with hours to kill at the Athens airport are the one doing the impersonations. Could "a trailing team" refer to a YIELDED team?
Speaking of Barry and the sand piles, in his first scene he is surrounded by untouched piles so he may be the first one there, but later we see him in a completely different location and he is shown as being frustrated at hell, so he has obviously been digging and digging and digging......
Puddin's picture of the Wahabah Sands almost is a match for the dig a dig dig gig.
puddin:
Does anyone remember if theres ever been a Yield during a NEL ? ??? Why would BJT be killing time at the Roadblock ? or are they just clowning around while BJ digs for the key clue and make light of it ?
what we already know, no mention of the teams on the ES :doh:
