Amazing Race 11 All Stars ..*spoilers*
TSC:
Thank you hakushu! ;D
I found out about the Sky Jump in Macau through this blog entry:
http://www.johnnyjet.com/debbiec/DebbieCMacau2006.html
written by Debbie of TAR7 coincidentally! I just have a gut instinct that this task will be featured on the Macau leg (perhaps not necessarily as a Roadblock though) - it's very much the kind of height-based, adrenaline-pumping task that hasn't yet made an appearance on the Race so far...

I agree with you - both Hong Kong and Macau are so urbanized that I don't think they would go to a rural locale for the Pit Stops (and the probability's reduced even further because either Hong Kong or Macau is likely to be the TBC leg, which would mean a lack of confessionals.

--- Quote from: TSC on April 09, 2007, 06:43:51 AM ---Hey, newbie here, but long-time lurker checking in to join the party! :jam: Looking forward to spoilering/speculating with a fantastic team of RFF detectives – here’s a contribution of mine on Roadblocks…
One of the most enjoyable strategic aspects of the race for me is how teams choose to divide up Roadblocks, ever since the rule that no person can do more than 6 Roadblocks on the race was implemented in Season 6. With that in mind, I’ve done some stats and analysis…
Roadblocks by episode:
Boardroom Puzzle
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Oswald
Fish Farming
= Kandice, Mirna, Danielle, Danny
Find Team Letter
= Kandice, Mirna, Eric, Oswald
Who Smells a Rat?
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Oswald
Toss Rungu
= Dustin, Mirna, Danielle, Danny
Ride Rowboat (although this roadblock was not shown on TV, I rewatched the episode and looked out for the people wearing/holding lifevests)
= Kandice, Mirna, Eric, Danny
Knight in Armor
= Dustin, Charla, Eric, Neither of the Chas because they took the fast-forward when intersected with Uchenna/Joyce
Part-Time Job
= Kandice, Mirna, Danielle, Danny
Roadblocks by team member:
Beauty Queens
Dustin: Boardroom Puzzle, Who Smells a Rat, Toss Rungu, Knight in Armor = 4
Kandice: Fish Farming, Find Team Letter, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 4
Charla/Mirna
Charla: Boardroom Puzzle, Who Smells a Rat, Knight in Armor = 3
Mirna: Fish Farming, Find Team Letter, Toss Rungu, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 5
Eric/Danielle
Eric: Boardroom Puzzle, Find Team Letter, Who Smells a Rat, Ride Rowboat, Knight in Armor = 5
Danielle: Fish Farming, Toss Rungu, Part-Time Job = 3
Chas
Oswald: Boardroom Puzzle, Find Team Letter, Who Smells a Rat = 3
Danny: Fish Farming, Toss Rungu, Ride Rowboat, Part-Time Job = 4
My thoughts and predictions
* On the subject of physical roadblocks – whilst Danielle definitely has some justification for claiming that Eric pushes the physical roadblocks upon her (which I’m surprised about), in my opinion, the person who has performed the most “physical” roadblocks has been Danny of the Chas .
* Comments on individual teams:
Beauty Queens – my favorite team this season (Love that they bring such a competitive fire, that they rarely bicker with each other, and that they cause drama with the other teams)! They’ve done a solid job of splitting Roadblocks so far, but I think they would be fine regardless – both are very competent at performing tasks.
Charla/Mirna – my second-favorite team this season (Love the entertainment value they consistently bring), and I think arguably the most dangerously placed when it comes to Roadblocks, because of some limitations that Charla faces (which we saw in this episode with the bikes). If the 6/6 split still holds, Mirna can only perform 1 more roadblock and I have a feeling that the cousins may want to have her perform it on the final leg (when it’s likely to be most crucial).
Eric/Danielle – now that Eric has nearly maxed out his Roadblocks, Danielle will have to continue to step up, which should prove to be very interesting. I’m biased and think that either Dustin or Kandice could beat her any day, but I was pleasantly surprised at her performance in Malaysia on the bikes – she may well be able to compete with Charla/Mirna and potentially the Chas.
Chas – They have the added flexibility of having done one less Roadblock than the other teams (due to taking the Fast Forward with Uchenna/Joyce in Poland). To a slightly lesser extent than the Beauty Queens, I think they both would give a relatively similar performance at most types of Roadblock– in compiling the stats though, I was surprised that Danny had done the most physical Roadblocks of all racers, given that I personally feel Oswald is in better shape.
* Looking ahead…
- Assuming that there is a Roadblock on the final episode (either in Hawaii or San Francisco), there are 4 roadblocks remaining.
- It’s likely that the Roadblock in Guam will take place at the military base (thanks to sightings?)
- I have a feeling that the Roadblock in Macau will be the Sky Jump (from what’ve I heard, a combination of bungee-jumping/sky-diving?!)
That’s all for now folks, let me know what you think!
Ooh, and what do people think of this post from Sucks?

In response to your comments about Danielle and Eric. I don't think the teams know exactly what the roadblocks are so I don't think he intentionally gives her the difficult tasks but as luck would have it... she has had to do the harder tasks. He also seemed to enjoy watching her bust her ass last night..and I thought it was pretty funny! She really had to work hard in that task, she was pushing the bike most of the time because she had a flat tire. She is a very strong girl!
Also, I think that if he came down to Danielle, Dustin and Kandace in a physical task race... I would bet my money on Danielle. That girl is diesel.

Welcome TSC :yaya:
From a poster with one post count? not much. Probably a ghostie stirring the pot.

From what I overheard, at first Malaysia supposed to be NEL. So think about Uchenna and Joyce helped by NEL for the second time. But I guess, because they were so lagging behind they decided to eliminate them. So next episode would be NEL, I would expect that.

I guess sometimes they have to change it. Like another case of "12 hours mandatory rest period". They reached the pitstop in KL on Sunday. But they left to another destination (HK or Macau Im not sure) only on Tuesday. So its not 12 hours anymore. Im sure after editing they will tell that it is 12 hours.
