Does anyone not believe that this is referring to "The Frat Boys"?  I think they pick up a hot chick and conduct some......

TurT checks in ( seriously ,take this FWIW )

dont read this because i know who gets eliminated and what the chalenges are and where the pitstop is.

i know this information because i live in perth and i followed them around to see what they were doing because i am a huge fan of the amazing race and because next episode is in perth for u americans u guys probely cant wait for it so i will to you the insider now

destinations=

.airport
.kingspark
.fremantle harbour
.rottnest island
.fremantle jail


they come from oman to perth leave the airport go get there next clue at kings park which is one of the biggest parks in austrlia and tells them to travel to the fremantle harbour and when teams get there they have to buy a ticket for the fairy which leves every two hours to rotnesst island which is located 18 km from fremantle harbour and when teams get to the island go to the tourist burea and find the clue box.

when they are at rottnest there will be a detour hit it or bike it. in hit teams probely just have to hit a golf ball into a circle just like season 7 and in bike it they have to ride around rottnest which is called rottnest bike tours which is about 5 km.

after teams have completed it catch a fairy back to fremantle and find the old historicall fremantle jail where the will find there next clue.

there is a roadblock in the old tunnels under the jail i dont know what the road block is but when completed they have to run up the stairs to the old cells which is like a round house which is the pit stop for this leg of the race

i am very sure that fran and barry get eliminated because they have trouble fiding taxi in perth because there arent really many around in western australia 

[Kogs]

and that may add up to the info in the articale where fran and barry say they went skydiving where its only mentioned in the cbs.com bio. FWIW

[mcalpine9]

Would a person need to get a taxi to go from the harbour to the prison? Barry and Fran were observed wandering around in Fremantle and not Perth at about 1 pm and would not need a taxi.

Maybe teams ran from the harbour to the jail - hence the title of the episode. Turt himself observed that teams ran towards the prison. They did not arrive in taxis.

[puddin]

I seriously wouldn't read to much into what TurT has to say , obviously he reads the spoiler boards and maybe came up with his own scenario , if F&B are eliminated I'll eat my words .

[Kogs]

if fran and barry are eliminated im throwing a party and ur all invited

Lots of holes in TurT's "insider"

Nothing about scuba diving and retreaving something off the ocean floor.

Bike it or hit it.  Is not a Detour since we have MO/JO both swimming and biking and no one hitting golf ball.

Roadblock has something to do with a key and finding the right cell; not just running to the pit stop.

Biking seems to have a definite end place (the lighthouse) not just a 5km ride around the island.  Seems to me that all teams have to bike it to the lighthouse, and then go on to the Detour:  sink or swim? dive or drag?

Question:  how far is the Fremantle Jail from the ferry jetty? Walkable, runable or cabable?

[mswood]

Well, lets see there are photos of Jospeh and Monica, BJ and Tyler (saw a very clear photo on another site of them on bikes), Ray and Yolanda, and Fran and Barry on bikes.  Know I think we also have a shot of Eric and Jeremy on a bike.

If so then biking isn't just a detour. 

Know we have the diving part where we see Eric and Jeremy (Hot), Mojo for sure diving.  I will go back and check more phot's to see what other teams we have for sure diving.

We have that damn photo of Tyler dragging bushes.

Now of course his discription of the roadblock could be correct since he doesn't give much info, just something to do with the prison and that it leads to the Pit Stop (I even felt this was most likely the case).

And it is possible that all the teams do have to bike it to a route marker.  And that route marker might be for the detour.

And it is possible that Fran and Barry are eliminated (I would be surprised, but I would love it), because they do sometimes just meander around looking for places or a cab (that's not something they excel at).

As for the spoiler that they sky dive.  It is possible that they mixed info on some of they things they have already done in life (which is quite a bit, and they gets props from me for that).

Click on the Google maps link. It looks like the prison is about 1 km or so from the harbour. No need for taxi's.

Just a thought -

Bumping because I'm wondering about this also.   Another question:  is there a place where it may have mentioned who gets to the snorkeling/diving first? 

[bethgio33]

Just a thought...

do you think Fran would consider bungee jumping the same as skydiving?  And from what I've seen in the spoilers for the other episodes, I don't see any skydiving.  There are several places in Perth to sky dive.  Any reason to think she did sky dive in Perth???  If not, when do you think they will do that task?  Possible a fast forward.   

Thanks!

It depends on who could pedal the fastest to the clue box at the lighthouse without getting lost , since it looks like BJT take the other detour unknowntreedragging option , and MoJo go the wrong way to the lighhouse , if I had to guess I'd say its Eric & Jeremy first to the scuba/detour .

also BJ is a ladies man , in Brazil he pulled some girl over and madeout with her untill the Scale the Building place opened but really it could be E&J ?

Could be a fast forward for EP10 ..pretty sure were due for one here along with a non- elim ? won't know for sure untill we get some clips ?

[mswood]

I think we have had the spoiler about the sky diving for so long that I just can't really except it as a reporting error nor can I see Fran and Barry gone this week (even If I would like it).

Still see Ray and Yolanda being gone , just because out of the other three teams I want all of them in the final three.

[gingerman28]

here's a puzzlement:

We have an estimated time of between 9:04 and 9:19 for the biking couple coming up toward the lighthouse on the hilly road (Ray and Yolanda>) but if the lighthouse is only 3 miles or less from the ferry landing in Thompson Bay what happened? If all the teams got on the early 7:30AM ferry they all would have arrived at Thompson's Bay at the same time, about 8:00AM. So this team must have gone the wrong way somewhere.  Perhaps they went off to the right to the other lighthouse first and then had to retreat back to find Digby Lane and the raod to the Wadjemup Hill Lighthouse.  And, teams do get stretched out since we have no shots of more than one biking team in the same picture.

Checked up on the Round House.  It can't be the location for the jail cell search since it has only 8 cells on one floor!  But it has historical significance since it was built by convicts in 1830 and is tahe oldest public building in the state.  So it very well may be the pit stop for this leg of the race.

[mswood]

Yeah, great match on the building.

But I wonder what the hell has got Barry so frustrated.  By all the info everything is realtively close together this leg (one of htose legs that the ability to get the task done is going to really matter. 

I still don't believe the Turt (?).  But wouldn't it be funny in a sad little way if Fran and Barry did try and get a cab.  Then find out 15 or minutes later that they are just blocks away from where they need to go.

Or is that just to mean.

[Kogs]

again if fran and barry do take a cab, get eliminated im throwing a party and ur all invited 

[puddin]

I like the idea of the RoundHouse being the pitstop Gman !
I'm trying to find how far apart the wadjemup to bathurst lighthouses are apart , anyone want to help this bad map reader out    ?

[puddin]

visually they look very far apart but I could see where they would miss the turn to the wadjemup and then maybe realize they are going to the wrong lighthouse .

[mswood]

Puddin

Just off that map, one little misake in the wrong direction could send you way out of the way. 

[tarbuckeye]

Quick guess....4-5 Km apart.  Going to the wrong light house would add add about 2 Km (there and back from the dock).  However, taking a "short cut" from the other light house or taking a wrong turn could add a bunch of Kilometers....

As an aside, I noticed a youth hostel on the island.  Could BJT have made the last ferry the night before, stayed on the island, and gotten an early start on the tasks?  That would help explain about them running towards a ferry early in the morning....I hope!

[puddin]

well I'm sticking with RaYolanda for the boot  , like you mswood but, wouldn't be upset at all if the ole folks get their walking papers ..I dunno maybe F&B can blame TPTB for their weird mean spirited editing !? they get no love from me either .

thanks tarbuckeye , we must have been typing at the same time :yaya:

[tarbuckeye]

Puddin...You are welcome.  Trying to contibute just a little....I am amazed with all of you spoiler hounds!!!

[puddin]

I wish it was Wednesday  tarbuckeye , thats when all the good stuff might come up like NEL or not ( looks like it is a elim almost for sure ) and hopefully a few crumbs like an early video for next week ....if we're lucky again ( crosses fingers ) , and of course Gman's summary .
