EP11 Title: I Think This Monkey Likes Me!
Neobie:
The previous seasons have already narrowed down the search for us for the temples, since I doubt they will repeat the exact same location. Erawan Shrine most definitely wouldn't be visited again - it was partially destroyed by a mad-man in March 2005 and is undergoing reconstruction.
If TAR is keen on visiting semi-famous temples instead of obscure ones (there are billions more in Bangkok), I'd say Wat Saket (built on an artificial hill and requires a climb up) is a good bet. But could it simply be that TV Guide messed up and the temple is in Lopburi?
On the insects, ITA on the grasshoppers! There's no specific place I can think of that teams can go to though, they're kind of everywhere (mostly street vendors)... Eating monkeys's mostly a Chinese thing, I guess. They half worship monkeys in Lopburi. Eating it in front of the locals would be result in... some problems. (See the Erawan Shrine link for more details.)
Oh, and Puddin's question: Season 2, Episode 7/8.
Evan_Weinstein:
Erm, let me see what can i help in that 'INSECT DELIGHT' Fast Forward: as an asian.
I think is either grasshopper, cockroaches, worms, crickets, and many other more.
From the word"Delight" i think what they will be eating will be 2 or more insects, which makes it a delight.
For the temple wise, i am thinking they will be going to a temple near Loburi. As Thailand has more than thousands of temples.
Sorry can't help out with that
mcalpine9:
An eating challenge, a fast forward, Bangkok - language barriers, crazy transportation, emotional breakdowns - sounds like this might just be the best episode of the series. :woohoo: Hopefully good enough to bring in an Emmy again.

Very, very cool.
I wonder which team has a melt down. Now if it was mental, it really good be any team. As for physical, who. We have no real idea if all four teams are left or its down to three already. If its four, I would speculate theat its eitehr Monica or BJ. Again that assumes those two teams are still in.
Physically I can't see Eric and Jeremy having a meltdown or Ray and Yolanda. Mental yes, physical no.
So that would really surprise me. It would be intereseting as well
