Thursday/Friday July 20-21st Costa Rica (http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/2246672/) I was in Costa Rica 2 weeks ago at San Jose International and saw the host Phil Koeghan with a female companion. I stopped him and spoke with him and took two photos with him and my brother.
He said he was on "vacation" but that was July 20 or 21. I wonder if the race was in Costa Rica? (Phil seemed to be acting gaurded and sly.)

Well, I'm in Costa Rica right now, and I learned something from a travel agency. They told me some teams went to that Travel Agency to book a bus into the jungle. I can't exactly say that I saw the TAR 8 teams, but I did learn that they took that bus into the nearby jungle to perform either a detour or roadblock. Hope this helps, and like I said, I can't verify this, but I hope it's true!!!

Title sounds like Mama Paolo. Could be her swan song?
-
Or Carissa Gaghan , she said that she felt bad cause her legs wern't long enough to reach the Bike pedals ..and then you have Billy ragging on her all the time for not stepping up to the plate .
-
It's 10 PM in your area, puddin. Same thing in San Diego too. :yaya:
-
Thanks banzai but the TV Guide looks messed up , last night they were having error's & problems
.
I think they are still having problems
9:00 NCIS 10:00 Amazing Race ..11:00 Close to Home .
I think the correct time is still 9:00pm East Time for TAR .

That's who I thought of right away. I think it is the Gahan girls quote as well.

It's not a family show anymore. 10PM is bed time for kids.

This episode quote says Carissa Gaghan to me.

San Jose Airport
We know this place!
This is going to get interesting:

What is this: "Everybody exit your cars NOW"
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Are those Bransen hands?
-
What is that, a coffee plantation maybe?
It seems to be the right shade for a drying rack Source (http://www.tarrazucafe.com/2005_01_29_archive.html)
A coffee/bananas detour, perhaps?
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Is that Gaghan mom asking for money or one of the sisters?
Hmmmmmm, and why are they carrying plastic bags.
Were they last?
Did they lose money and possesions? B:)
-
{**} some new detective work. Let the fun begin!
-
I admit it, I'm disoriented.
Bananas & Coffee are big.
[attachment deleted by admin]

The more I look, the more I think it is a Goodlewski sis. Look at the cap of them getting into the van. Another sis has green pants and she is seen with the sis asking for money.
LOL, off to change my picks >*&
-
AOL?
I guess since no one is eliminated tonight they felt they could post VideopreviewEp6 early. Our slueuth of all sleuths,Puddin, was right there to catch.
Looks like the old rules are still in effect for NEL: lose your money and possessions. This will be rough on the Gaghan kids.
The YIELD shows its ugly head at last.
What is the ROADBLOCK count the number of rice or coffee beans in a sack? Or find a particular marked one in order to find clue. Another needle in a haystack and 10 hours of looking?????
Looks more like a traditional TAR than previous eps.
-
have fun detectives ..The show starts in 15 minutes ..and yeah mom , its the Godlewskis carrying garbage bags ^/^ ..
-
And asking for money!
::wiggle eybrows:: :kuss: Enjoy the show everyone!

Papa Paolo Nails the Banana's !!!! |#'
I am impressed with this family, Paolo, because I really thought they would have been out a long time ago. They are hard on each other and they all love to yell, but they have faught hard to stick with it.
-
Then that means the girls are coming in last? That's the only thing I could think of.

Finding the suspension bridge may not be easy; it turns out there are lots of companies competing in the "canopy tour" business. A google image search for "canopy bridge costa rica" brings up about 150 hits; this (http://www.rainmakercostarica.com/index.cfm?action=photogallery&albumID=5) is the closest I've come so far to the stuff pictured in #65-69, but I'm not yet ready to call it a match. Somewhere in here (http://costa-rica-guide.com/WWWLinks.html) (see "Canopy Tours") might be the answer.
-
LOL Mandy. Well they did not come in last. The sisters did. They lost all of their money and their possessions, except what was on their back. They are believing that their charm and whit will get them through this. I hope for them it does. They are goofy, but they look like they are having fun.
-
Guys...
Weaver mom says the title. Just heard it!
-
I have hunted and hunted for that stone carved head. Nada. :sad:
-
the Weavers say the title !!!
If it's not another editing dub over. For tonights show they showed Weaver mom in a boat saying "they are so rude" when it was actually another team (I think the Linzs) making that statement about them on the bus.

I know! I started looking and there are alot of them. I think I'm moving Costa Rica up on my list of vacations I want to take. It's gorgeous.

The workers load the banana bunches onto this track and pull them out by tying several bunches to a rope that’s hooked around their waist. Then they walk them out.

Web clues
1 When a Team is Yielded at a Roadblock, they pass the time away talking trash about their competition .
2 Two Racers watch in awe as one member of their team outmuscles them.
3 Will a single coffeebean cause one team the race?
1. Hoping the Linzes Yield the Weavers {l{ , karma....
2. Paolo's
3. ??
-
A lot of interesting material coming our way early. But watch out for the editing as some of it has been done in a way to mislead us.
For example:
Scenes 23, 24, 25, 26 show the Linz boys exiting a red van and note that it is parked on a dirt field (empty behind it) and this is cut together with scenes 27 and 28 showing the boys exiting a red van but now it is backed up to the forest and is parked on a paved parking area. So two different locations and two different times.
First guess is that the DETOUR is going to be carrying bananas (team effort) or carrying a stone idol somewhere (team effort) and is the ROADBLOCK another find the needle in a haystack or, rather, find a particular coffee bean in a sack of thousands! Another 10 hour task??
Looks like a night time departure from Panama and arrival in San Jose. Will check flights. Bunch points probably so Paolos lose their three hour (?) lead.
Going to be a Elimination round for sure.
-
Nice confessional by the Paolo's as team ..DJ is praising Papa , sounds like Papa hauled those banana's on his own .. but I do not like the body language , I wonder if the pic was taken in the Jungle near the banana plantation or at the pitstop?
Looks like another 1 day leg ??

I have hunted and hunted for that stone carved head. Nada. :sad:
Looks like something from Survivor 11 ..they have all sorts of carvings like that at around Tribal Council near the Tikals in Belize, I'll look around later Chateau , maybe they borrowed them :cheeky: ?
-
wow, that team photo of the Paolo's does not look good. We don't usually get post-elimination interview shots like that, do we? They all look unhappy, except DJ who looks resigned. I hope it's not a "first to worst" scenario for them.
-
I dont think flights go from Panama City to San Jose at night. Unless they have charted two flights leaving at different times like they have done before.
The earliest flight I could find leaves Panama City at 6:00 in the morning to San Jose, Costa Rica, via TACA. The flight last one hour. And I think Panama and Costa Rica are not in the same time zones. Panama is one hour ahead of Costa Rica. |#'

Maybe they drive?
Godlewski Chris < getting in van >: Ok.. were going to need about 40 bucks for gas
I thought teams did not have to pay for gas? *(^

I'm not sure if she says gas Chateau ..she says " were going to need 40 bucks for gaaa..." or something , at least thats what I hear ?? or " that"

It looks like the Paolos leave the pit stop around 10 or 11PM; it looks like shots of them wandering around the streets of Panama City so perhaps a task to be done befoe getting the clue to fly to Costa Rica. Doubt seriously they would even think of driving the Pan American Highway especially at night.
Some flights leave early;some leave later; a sampling:
TACA 522 Leave 6:00AM Arrive 6:03AM (leave in central time arrive in mountain time)
COPA 116 Leave 10:15AM Arrive 10:30AM
COPA 524 Leave 11:00AM Arrive 11:17AM
That gives the teams a whole day of daylight to complete tasks.
My guess is they go next to Phoeniix, AZ. AirWest (Now USAirways) has a non-stop flight leaving 7:15AM arriving at 11:56AM
I wonder if the pitstops will all be for 36 hours on this trip? If that is the case, the teams would be leaving in the late evening of July 17 and flying to San Jose on the morning of July 18. If the pitstop in San Jose is late in the afternoon the 36-hour pit stop would have them ready to leave San Jose on the morning of July 20 which coincides with the date that someone reported seeing Phil at the San Jose Airport.

Brought up on another board ..did hurricane Dennis interfere with the plans? causing a delay ?

Another family struggles with a seemingly simple task and watches their lead over the others quickly dwindle.
Could be the Bransens. The Bransen girl may have been at it long enough to start shedding clothes? The Gaghans are there and Linzs arrive after the Bransens and Gaghans have already started.
I looked at all the clothing and temps for the day. The roadblock must be early in the morning because everyone has on long pants and warmups. When you see the detours the Bransens are now in shorts and many now have their jackets around their waist. Temps for the day: Low 66 - High 82.

OK, I think I'm ready to call this: the coffee farm is the Doka Estate (http://www.dokaestate.com/doka/index_eng.htm). Compare the bean-sorting shot (red roof, fencework) with the area around the drying flats, and compare the beanbag vidcap with a bag of Doka beans.

Looks good. Very nice work Slowhatch! =]/
And look how close it is to the airport. This must be the first thing they do when they arrive because they are still in long pants and warmups.

In the vidcaps 41 - 46 where we see the YIELD for the first time, only five family pictures are shown (Linz, Paolo, Godlewski, Weaver and Gaghan) a male hand is holding the pix. Could this mean that the BRANSEN family is the family who yields. And who would be most likely to "trash talk" about another family? Weaver? Linz?
-
Got it .. the Bransens/dad in blue Tshirt & Long dark pants /Daughter in green tank top & Paolo Kid ..turning into a shop maybe around a corner ..I cant slow the video down enough to snag the Bransen girl but its her .ETA: Maybe a yellow flag/route marker .

The Yield has Weaver written all over it Gman ...either they get yielded or yield another team . The other teams are always trashing the Weavers per inside clips & team eliminated articles .

The actual video does flip through all 6 teams. I paused and counted. The Weavers could easily be the Yielders or the Yieldees. I suppose anyone who gets yielded will trash talk the ones who yielded them.
-
The coincidence of the other teams (shown watching) at the Roadblock make me think the Weavers are the sandwatchers.

Whoever is yielded I suppose it won't matter ..finding that one bean in the pit will be pure luck ..

Quepos is the seat of the Aguirre canton, it maintains an important relationship with banana production activities in this part of the country. The old Banana Fruit Company structures are still preserved to this day.

Maybe so; it makes more sense that they would be grown closer to the coast than up in the central valley close to the coffee growers. Unfortunately, without more info in the photos (or more commercials to look at) the banana farm and the streets of San Jose (can anybody read that green sign?) may stay a mystery for a few more days....Nite :)ZZZ:)
-
No do on the sign Slowhatch , what I can use is some help on the voiceovers ..like who says we will not be using the yield and who talks about the the million dollars getting closer ..etc . Also I cant understand what the Linz boy says about sucking it up for a day and being mean Hahaha
the sign , in the black strip maybe Cev---------- La V----------ti
it looks like a souveiner shop , like a place you would by panama type shirts and hats and maybe surfboards
does the Green part white lettering say DAD ----INOIC ?

The green part of the sign says DOS PINOS. It is a very large milk manufacturer, yogurt, those sort of things from COSTA RICA. Maybe they are sponsoring the store, that is why the store has a very small name. I am pretty sure that the sign says Congelados La Va...... But I will keep looking.
Glad I could help. :]

:nods: Thanks. I could have stared at that thing for a long time and never seen the two trees in the middle.

Progress !! Thank You |#' and Slowhatch ..I am sorry , this was back on page 2 ..I should have looked back (^.# *clappyhands*
Finding the suspension bridge may not be easy; it turns out there are lots of companies competing in the "canopy tour" business. A google image search for "canopy bridge costa rica" brings up about 150 hits; this (http://www.rainmakercostarica.com/index.cfm?action=photogallery&albumID=5) is the closest I've come so far to the stuff pictured in #65-69, but I'm not yet ready to call it a match. Somewhere in here (http://costa-rica-guide.com/WWWLinks.html) (see "Canopy Tours") might be the answer.

What are we hunting for ??
this is an oxcart used to carry coffeebeans
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/misc/oxcart.jpg)
so the yield is near the Doka Estate ..of course

Would love to find out where this is ??..I see reflections of white vans ...and those pretty hedges ..

Shows you how much I know. I found this picture (http://community.webshots.com/photo/356103067/356103067xTRVyW) at Webshots with the inscription "Bananna trees are planted amongst the coffee bushes to give them shade."
I should use Webshots more often. I went looking for Doka: I found the oxcart (http://community.webshots.com/photo/155934985/155934985NQshty), of course; but I also found the "tourist" drying rack (http://community.webshots.com/photo/302707094/302707094aTiJoB) (notice the ramp and yellow railing in the background); and I found a scarlet macaw (http://community.webshots.com/photo/352368722/352368722zZGLhh) in a cage (I'm not saying that's the one in the vidcap, but I do think it will make an appearance this episode).

Awesome Slowhatch !!
Found a nice picture of the DokaEstates, the fence matches nicely with your find :t-up:

Slowhatch, Can you get a location for the Doka place on a detailed map? The one from their site is too vague to tie into Google Earth. It looks like the place may be just a few kilometers outside the high rez shot that they have for San Jose. But, if it is inside the high rez image we will be able to orient the place and do some sun angle work.

A couple questions and comments. I counted six vans in the pic but not sure. I spot the Linzs, Paolo mom then Gaghan dad and Carissa and "I think" that the Gaghans are standing in front of a white van. I can't tell who is in the distance. If those are right then they are not running to the roadblock. In the roadblock the Linzs arrive after the Gaghans and Bransens. Does it seem peculiar that they took time to back in the vehicles?

Just trying to lay out some kind of scenario for San Jose:
We estimate that teams will be leaving the pitstop between 9PM and Midnight the following day (36hour mandatory rest stop??) If the first clue told them to proceed to airport and catch first flight to San Jose (6AM) wouldn't they just hop a cab and get thee to the airport on time? But we have shots of most of the teams wandering around the streets of Panama City at night, so perhaps they have to complete some task or locate a famous statue or whatnot first and then the get clue to go to the airport.
Street scenes in San Jose. Is this just after arrival and they are looking for a route marker or does this come later? Running without backpacks or camping gear so have they already gotten their vans? And do they have drivers or do they drive them themselves?
Shots of Vans all in a row. Strange. But this is very early in morning from looks of things. In promo last night a similar scene in closeup shows the Linz getting out of the red van and the othe teams behind them with the Godlewskies way in the back (note the baseball cap with red bill). This shot of Linz getting out of the van is early in the day; a similar shot is later and the van is now parked on a dirt field and sis now has only a white tee shirt on. In the previous shots she is wearing a red windbreaker or sweatshirt. Scenes of the Linz running 7 and 8 follow the vans in shot 27 and 28. They are dressed the same and it looks misty in the morning.
Looks like from the fact teams start off with long sleeve shirts and long pants that the ROADBLOCK at the coffee plantation comes before the DETOUR which seems to be carry bunches of bananas or carry an idol.
It looks like the YIELD comes before the Roadblock at the coffee plantation. Strange. Yields have come before Detours in the past.
Most likely this is an ELIMINATION LEG. Five teams left for return to the States. I think that 36 hour pitstops are the norm in this race and help use up the days we could not account for getting the remaining four teams to Montreal by July 30.

You're right, Chateau. When you reconcile the map (http://dokaestate.com/coffee_tour/index.htm) found by supsandalee with this road map (http://cr-home.com/CRHmap.html), then the Doka estate would be somewhere between "San Luis" and "San Isidro" on the road map, which would place it 2-3 miles inside the GoogleEarth Fuzzylands.

Dang!

For who's driving what van we have: the Linzs in red and the Weavers in dark blue. The Bransens are shown running around a dark blue van but we can't tell if it is theirs. I re-watched the video and I'm pretty sure that the Paolos got out of a white van. There may be two white vans parked in a row and the Gaghans were in front of one.

don't know if these are " the vans " but in this picture I see 2 white vans and a structure

The only thing I can offer about the shadows:
- According to the translation of this site (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.premioincentives.com/esp/centralValley.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddoka%2B%25221500%2Bmts%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D), Doka is 4500 ft above sea level on the slopes of Poas Volcano
- Use Google Earth to search for "Sabanilla, Costa Rica." Enable the volcano overlay.
- Pick a spot halfway between Sabanilla and Poas peak--a terraced spot on the slopes.
- Enable the lat/long grid and make a guess.

Nice Match sups =]/
posted on Aug 2nd,Costa Rica (http://www.forumsnet.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=TAR5spoilers;action=display;num=1123006787;start=)
Well, I'm in Costa Rica right now, and I learned something from a travel agency. They told me some teams went to that Travel Agency to book a bus into the jungle. I can't exactly say that I saw the TAR 8 teams, but I did learn that they took that bus into the nearby jungle to perform either a detour or roadblock. Hope this helps, and like I said, I can't verify this, but I hope it's true!!!

Nice match supsandalee! |#'
In this shot it looks like one of the Bransen girls has a broken wrist. It looks like a cast on her left.
What happened at that Pit Stop?

thats interesting Chateau.. maybe Carissa Gaghan slammed her _-^ ]*] ..afterall she is the Demon Child !! /{}

After reading everything and a little research here's some thoughts that might piece this episode together.
With the location of Doka Estates to the airport, the roadblock should be first. Don't know what happens between the roadblock and detour but the teams should travel to Quepos to pick up clue for the detour. Quepos is a 3 1/2 hour drive from San Jose. The roads are paved but still subject to potholes, animals, pedestrians, has no line markings, no safety signs, and several one-lane bridges. Driving is not safe at night. TAR might not want to take risks of teams getting lost after dark therefore they might have them take buses which run daily (or they could take a 20 min. flight). If this is the case then all shots we have of them in vans happen early morning from airport through roadblock and into San Jose to catch bus.
Quepos is a small ocean village with a downtown center of 6 square blocks (shopping including surf shops mentioned). Manuel Antionio National Park is only 5 miles south of Quepos. Here we have a good match for the suspension bridge.
And thats all for now.
-
We know that Slowhatch definately nailed Doka Estates but here's more evidence. It almost has to be the same ramp in the vid cap. down to the green gutters.
Puddin: The grounds are very nicely manicured at Doka so it very well could be where the Weavers get stuck. The Paolos are driving a white van so they would still be at the roadblock unless the Gaghans are also in a white van which I'm not sure yet.

Looks good sups |#' .. I rewatched the CBS promo one more time
this is when they are on the Skywalk ..and the camara pans down , underneath of it . Maybe we can match it up with the Manuel Antonio National Park .

Forget what I said about Manuel Antonio having the good match for the suspension bridge. As slowhatch identified a few pages back, there's a well matched photo at Rainmaker Rainforest Reserve which is 14 miles north of Quepos. This picture from Rainmaker looking down at a river might match your vid cap puddin. Directions:
From Quepos/Manuel Antonio
Depart main highway to San Jose. Rainmaker sign is visable just after the town of Pocares. Turn right and follow signs to the entrance of Rainmaker through the village of San Rafael Norte. Rainmaker is 22 kilometers from the Center of Quepos

Right sups Rainmaker not Manuel Antonio National Park ..I keep mixing those 2 up 8-)' .. not brain worthy ..
I had to come back to say I don't think its the Paolos this week ...just thinking outloud .
after the Roadblock teams head by bus ? to Quepos
in this vidcap we see the younger Paolo kid running with the Bransens ( dad Bransen still in long pants or its someone else ? but I'm sure the gal in the green top is a Bransen gal ).. and from watching the Preview the Paolo's do the Banana detour and as DJ says and the webclues state "Meanwhile, two Racers watch in awe as one member of their family out-muscles them" DJ & Family have a confessional about Papa 's strength .. if the Paolo's nail the detour then they are probably safe leaving us with either the Gaghans or Bransens for the boot ..we see the Bransens struggling abit carrying the Idols over the skywalk in the Rainforest "Another family struggles with a seemingly simple task and watches their lead over the others quickly dwindle. "
Last the other webclue "In an exciting foot race to the mat, teams are within seconds of each other as they fight exhaustion to claim first prize"
the clue says they are racing for first place not last place ..I think the Linzes finally get a 1st place spot ..just a hinky ..also I get the feeling its the Linzes that Yield the Weavers ..which of course probably won't hurt them .. finding that one bean will be pure luck , could take one team seconds and another team hours .. "Will a single coffeebean cause one team the race?

Ya know the Gaghans are bound to have problems with this episode detour choices. Each Bransen is carrying a statue that looks about the size of Carissa Gaghan. If they choose that detour the parents will have to double back to get them all. If they do the bananas the kids proabably can't help much. The Gaghans have the clear disadvantage this week.
-
I was thinking those statue pieces look very light. Like they are made of styrofoam. Even the Bransen girl is carrying it easily and she has a busted wrist.
-
Yes, I'm in Paolo denial {l{ , am not ready to let them go just yet .. even if the statues dont weigh alot carrying them over those slippery skywalks could slow you down ..
nothing much , just caught another team ( large backpack ) passing the Paolos, as they venture out of Panama ?

Puddin, do you have , or can you summon, the down-loadable AOL video?
I can't get a picture to show for the one at the AOL site.
From the audio track it sounds like dad Paolo saying "one chance in 5 to win a million". So that would mean they are in the clear. And is that one of the Linzen who says they don't want to yield anybody?
-
I listened to the audio last night and clearly heard someone say a 1 out of 5 chances of winning a million dollars ... tensions are going to get higher. Those were edited togther. Can't tell who's voice or if they are different voices. I thought it was peculiar since there are six teams left. I also can't tell who's voice says we're not going to be yielding anybody.

"You guys ... I can't do this" sounds like Godlewski, especially Chris the one that was whining and crying in the car on the Ponchartrain.
From the previews we don't see which detour the Godlewskis and Gaghans are doing.

Where the heck are the Godlewskis ?? and yeah supsandalee ..whats up with this? also next weeks clue states something about " tensions" . I'll go listen again and try to pinpoint who says it .. |(

Puddin those pics look great! :]
So ....... they probably go from the airport to the poas volcano visitors center (which if they have to go inside opens at 8 am) and get the clue to go to Doka Estates for the roadblock.
-
Travel to San Jose Puerto Rica ( doesn't says fly ..whatever ? )
Your right it says "travel to San Jose Costa Rica" and not fly to. I checked on Ep 3 and 5 and they both say "fly to ......" *(^
The info below states the trip is 16 hours by bus. I doubt this would fit into the timeline but it's something to check. Jeez, could you see the Weavers on a 16 hour bus ride .... they would implode! >^%
To & From Costa Rica
There are two major bus companies that offer service between Panama and Costa Rica; Tica Bus which offers service between Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, and Panaline which offers service between Panama and Costa Rica. The trip from San Jose to Panama City, via David, normally lasts about 16 hours.
-
This orange lettering is very hard for me to read; hope you go back to b&w soon. Can anyone explain why we have all six vans neatly lined up on a paved parking area somewhere, and why all six teams are running toward the camera together? Is this the parking area for the poas volcano visitors center? And who lined the vans up so neatly (backed into marked parking slots)?
Don't see the teams taking a 16 hour bus trip, and certainly the producers would not let them drive along the Pan American Highway at night - was not allowed for safety/security reasons when I was there and it certainly isn't any safer today. If a bus left at midnight it would not arrive until 4PM and this does not match our early morniong idea for the Roadblock. But let's say they do take a bus leaving around 8AM, then the bus would arrive in San Jose around midnight, so maybe those night shots of the Paolos and others are after they arrive in San Jose and not before they leave in Panama.
-
Since the google earth won't let us get a clear view of the Poas Volcano area Gman ..can't be sure but the clothing that the teams are wearing fits with the Poa -Vol area .. why are the vans backed in ? TPTB ? If im in a hurry I would pull in and also ..they are so conveniently neatly lined up ..{l{ also the directions leaving Poa Volcano Park leads to Sarchi .. home of the painted ox-carts ,and then to the Doka Estates .

Supsandalee makes a good point about the travel options to San Jose.
But, the sisters are shown begging for 40 dollars.
The bus web site http://www.ticabus.com/ing_rutas_horarios_panama.html (http://www.ticabus.com/ing_rutas_horarios_panama.html) lists a fare of 25 dollars per person.
This web site http://www.worldheadquarters.com/panama/arrival/ (http://www.worldheadquarters.com/panama/arrival/) says that it costs around 10 dollars per person to get to or from the airport
If you share a taxi with others the prices is reduced per person. There are also small vans that take between 3-7 passengers, and they charge about $10.00 per person.
My guess is that they are begging for money to get to the airport so they can fly to Costa Rica.
-
My guess is that they are begging for money to get to the airport so they can fly to Costa Rica.
I really don't think they would have them travel 16 hours by bus but thought it was always an option since the clue didn't say "fly to".
Your probably right about the 40 bucks to get them to the airport. When the Godlewskis say they need 40 bucks they are getting into their own van during daylight (which they don't have in Panama) ...... BUT since there is so much voice dub over there is no telling when they say it.
-
Somewhere I read, that people had to get early before 10 to the volcano if the wanted to have a clear view of the volcano. After that time clouds where on top of the volcano and the view was not good. Can we then assume that this after 10am. Just a thought.
-
fwiw you guys , like supsandalee mentioned .." we need 40 $ " looks dubbed to me ..my guess is they say it probably before they ask the " gentelmen " for money .
Lots of dubbing all over the place ..I wouldn't be surprised if some of the " awesomes " and other dialogs were from past episodes ..
The one that gets me is the one supsandalee picked up on .." 1 in 5 chances of winning " when there are 6 teams left .Wish we could figure out who is saying it ..could be the Gaghan dad ? Bransen dad or Linz boy ? it doesnt sound like the Paolo's or Rolly .

Well we've got the locations of the roadblock and one detour down. I've looked all over for banana plantations. All I know is that there are plenty of them but I can't find a map or listing of any (especially in the Quepos area). Has anyone else had any luck?
-
Manuel Antonio Park and its many hotels sits on the other side of a mountain ridge from the small town of Quepos, about two hours south of Jaco. Before the tourism boom, Quepos survived on fishing and agriculture. It began its life as a company town, built in the 1930s to support the United Fruit banana plantations that lined the coastal plain. By the 1950s, production of African palm oil became the main source of income, after Panama disease destroyed the banana crop. On the long drive in, you'll pass rows and rows of tightly packed palm oil trees, as well as some surviving banana plantations. A few small company towns live on, distinguished by the geometrical arrangement of the turquoise houses, some built on stilts, usually around a soggy soccer field. Other agro-industries have sprung up to break the mono-crop
http://www.travel-costarica.org/pacifica/quepos.php
-
Somewhere I also read that on the Dokas estate there is a hotel. Could this be the pitstop of the race?
-
I was thinking that if Manuel Antonio is where the detours are perfomed , after the roadblock , then somewhere around this area might make a better pitstop . The park itself is historical ,charlierose ..do you know of any one place or structure /buliding that Phil might use as a pitstop?
Playa Manuel Antonio is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica and has been rated one of the top ten in the world. The beach is a half mile long, perfect white sand crescent bordered by deep green mangroves and palms. The park abounds with wildlife and in a days visit it is possible to see iguanas, monkeys, sloths agoutis, paccaries armadillos, pisotes, coatimundis and raccoons.
Camping, accommodations and almost any service can be found within walking distance of the park.

A little late maybe, but I found this resource site (http://www.visitcostarica.com/ict/paginas/home.asp?ididioma=2) with maps, photo galleries, links, bus schedules (if I'm reading it right, it takes 3.5 hours to get from San Jose to Quepos), etc.
Supsandalee was right: the more I see of this place, the more I want to vacation there.

Hey puddin, you think the Paolo dad says "a 1 out of 5 chance of winning a million dollahs" is during this interview. It's after they checked in so they know there are now only 5 teams!

Nice site Slowhatch. Is this our bird?

Might be getting closer to the statue? Or at least why they are in the race. Possibly from the Indigenous Cultures in Costa Rica. There is a lot of info out there, but here's a start:

Thanks for the site, Krazi. Lots of good stuff there, including links to a Poas road map (see below) and some Indiana Jones stuff (http://www.mcguinnessonline.com/sphere/photos.htm).
That's the right bird, Puddin. I'll think we'll see one tonight--a real one, not wooden. ]][
On a different subject, can we assume they left Panama on a Sat. or Sun.? Copa Air has three direct flights PTY-SJO on the weekends: 10am, 11am, and 7pm.

Maybe they caught the 6 a.m. flight since they would be at the airport very early. According to Airwise:
Depart Arrive Carrier/Flight Duration

TES announced this morning that the latest castoff family from TAR8 would be on TES tomorrow morning. So it is indeed an ELIMINATION LEG tonight!!
I'm puzzled about the shots of the Paolo Family wandering around seemingly deserted streets - they are ambling along in the middle of the road - at night. If the arrived at the Miraflores Lock pit stop between 9 and 10AM they would be leaving after a 12 or 36 hour pitstop at 9 or 10PM. If the clue said to proceed to fly to Costa Rica, then wouldn't they head to the airport directly by cab? So what are they doing wandering around Panama City at night? Or do they receive a clue to proceed somewhere else first? Or are these shots in San Jose? We have other shots of teams in Panama, particularly the Godlewski Sisters begging with lots of traffic and people about at night. Which could be late at night around midnight.
But once they get to San Jose, Costa Rica it is early morning.
We have:
1. Visit to Vocan Vistor's Center
2. ROADBCLOCK - Coffee Bean, coffee bean, where fore art thou?
We know we have the Linz, Gaghan, and Bransens there at the same time at the Doka Estates
It is starts early in the day and then gets warmer as the hunt gets colder.
3. DETOUR - Carry the Idol over troubled waters: Bransen, Linz, Weaver
Carry the bananas over the split - Paolo
Missing in action: Godlewskis and Gaghans
If the policy follows then the Gaghans will be the penultamate family once again and the Weavers go home. Or vice-versa
Not very good, but a lot of time spent putting up Halloween decorations to freighten away all the neighborhood kids, and now they must all come down before it rains tonight.
Will be very curious to see how all this plays out tonight.
-
i keep getting this weird vibe at work that the godlewskis are going home. the canada spoiler is sounding more and more like a decoy run to me. especially if the family with kids is the gaghans. they both go sooner and it would be cheaper to run them around north america while the teams still in it run elsewhere.
that being said, i have the gaghans to go home tonight.
my thoughts from the previews, the weavers are shown stuck (very safe), the branson and linz families having fun with the heights (safe), the paulos lost in the street (also very safe), and the godlewskis begging for money (unsure). no real sign of the gaghans? they've been falling behind maybe once too often.
-
They made a point last week of the Gaghans saying "we just have to stay ahead of one team". They said it during the race and to Phil at the mat. Sounds like a setup to me.
-
and Daddy Gaghan cussed infront of the children ..sonofabitch , & Damn ! (:;) ! sorta gives them the ugly editing .. )<
-
We’ve got shadows!
We’ve got orientation! Well, a slope up a volcano.
So I’ve got times.
And the Gaghans got trouble!
It looks like the row of white pole goes east-west (maybe pointing to the north a little). We see sister Linz with a morning shadow. I guess to be from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Then Ma Gaghan has her bean at what looks like 11:30 to 12:00 noon.

That could only mean that not all teams got on the early TACA flight leaving al 6:00AM. Usually this flight is very full, and I dont think they could fit the 6 teams of 4, plus cameraman and soudman. This means 36 people. Maybe the Gahgan took a later flight. {**}.

Oh Boy Chateau |#' !!!!!!!!
Another family struggles with a seemingly simple task and watches their lead over the others quickly dwindle.

You mean Chateau got this right???
Still not as good as Puerto Rico/Jamaica last season :t-up:

OMG, today while I should have been working I was fishing around looking for clues instead. I was looking for better match for what we thought was Quepos and really thought they might go to Jaco instead. It is closer and only 2 hours away. I even found this pic! Oh, how I wish I would have posted my findings this afternoon.

So much GREAT speculation and spoiling .. no idea where to begin |#' :congrats: ALL TAR detectives !!
-
Gee, Chateau, even with all those shadows you may be slipping. You had the Paolos leaving at 9:45PM and they actually left at 8:22PM; the other five teams you had leaving between 11:23 and 11:55, 1:38 after the Paolos: and actually they left from 9:11 to 9:43. Your spread for the five was 32 minutes; the actual spread was 32 minutes!!! NOT BAD AT ALL, MS. CHATEAU!!! The Fast Forward for the Paolos actually only gained them a mere 49 minutes!!
And since the three buses were chartered for the 16 hour trip to San Jose, I wonder why they had them not leave until 11:30AM which made the arrival of he first bus at 3:30AM in San Jose. And then they all had to wait until the park opened at 8:00AM. Strange, but even if the buses did leave at daybreak, they wouldn't arrive until late in the evening anyway.
-
I suspect the teams did not leave in the standard 12 or 36 hours. Because when the Godlewskis checked in at Miraflores you get to see Phil's watch and it says 11:55. And so does the watch on the greeter. The shot of the watches was actually when he takes their money. So maybe they got there a bit before that. Everything just seams shifted by about 2 hours. I messed up with the Paolos time. No explanation but it was a bit overcast so the shadows were not crisp for them.
-
Wow Chateau .. checking out the watches :yaya: !!
Watching the Finish line
part 1
http://cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=16664
the Gaghans no problem with the Weavers ..they think the hate started in Virginia when the Weavers came in first and they didn't socialize with the other teams .. the Weavers just stayed in their room.
Dad Gaghan tells us that they watched the show last night with the Paolos and think that the Paolo's were hurt by the comments that the Weavers said about the garbage truck and all .
The Gaghans said the Roadblock only took then 30 to 45 minutes .
They say they were only 3 minutes behind the Weavers but the man that they picked up to guide them actually may of hurt them , he took them through the back roads to Jaco .
part 2
http://cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=16665
the Gaghans love the Paolo's ...there fighting is not an act ..it comes natural to them but they really love each other . They say that the Paolo's will be the team to beat even though you wouldn't have thought so in the beginning .
The Gaghans actually applied for the race and were surprised that there wern't more teams with chidren , also they were a little dissappointed that the teams did not race international because thats where there travel experience would have come in handy . They even studied airlines and times .
The Gaghans owe Carissa a bungee jump ..its the one thing they really wanted to do .
part 3
http://cgi.cbs.com/vplayer/timeplay2.pl?type=wmv&id=16666
Grandma Gaghan calls in and tells us her fav part is when the Gaghans family sprinted by the Weavers at the mud-bog .
Al -Clown gives his weekly call :roll:
He wants to know whats up with the Weavers ..
The Gaghans said that maybe since they had small children the other teams left them out of the loop about the Weavers but they knew there were tensions between the teams .
They defend the Paolos and say that the Paolo's move to yield the Weavers was more of a strategic move .
Then Tammy mom gives the Weaver mom credit for being the driving force behind the Weaver team

insider clips
Dirty Girls
the Bransens talk about there dirty clothes from the rainforest task
Do onto others
The Weavers trashing the other family's while being yielded
Above Everything
The Weavers talk about morals and that they are not lieing and conniving and that they were not going to play the game and defeat other peoples characters and they are responsable to a higher authority and are going to go as far as they can even though they feel the other teams may cost them the game but go on to trash the other teams ..." its all lies , even down to their hair color , bottled blonde's . "
Strategic move
The Paolos discuss why the yielded the Weavers ..basically they have been conniving / deceiving and two faced and have only wanted help from the other teams when it benefited them . The Weavers wanted nothing to do with the other teams when they were in first place , now the Weavers want other teams to book them flights . They also said that the Weavers are strong and get places as if magic ..they are very lucky .
They yielded the Weavers because they were last at the Roadblock and all other teams were standing right behind them .
Kindness of strangers
A sweet Panomonian woman gives the Godlewskis money and even offers them her bag with coins . She makes them take the bag with the coins and they hug her ...she comes back and plants her hat on Chris then walks away . Really nice video .
Chatty Kathy
The sisters driving and complimenting each other
Not so kind
The Weavers give the Godlewskis money but with strings attached , the Weaver mom tried to blackmail them by telling them that she expected a map in return ..they gave her a map ..any old map and were hoping to be the ones that would yield the Weavers . They are now afraid that Mom weaver thinks they are her best friend .. they wanted to give the 5 $ back and rip the map up {l{
Hard work pays off
The Paolos talk about what a rough day it was and how they all pulled together to come in first place ..they were exhausted .It took mom 10 minutes to find the bean ..everything was perfect. They are thrilled with the prizes .
Quality time
The Bransens talk about how they gave it there all and that they got to talk to Phil for along time at the mat because the other teams were so far behind .
Birthday gift
The Linzes have kind words for the Bransens ..Walder was telling Megan to go on and get ahead of them and the one Bransen sister held her hand and helped her along before her brother picked her up and carried her ..also it was Megans B-Day ..the boys want her to have a well deserved beer .
Family first
The Weavers dont understand why the other teams dont like them and how they love each other and that they were raised that they were important and to only trust family & God not other people .
They dont understand why the other teams have alliances when it comes down to only one family that will win " why make buddy buddy friends ? it doesn't make sense ? Why Why ? its stupid " . They think the other teams have formed an alliance against them . It frustrates mom Weaver that they were yielded and does not want the game to tuen into the Weavers are bad .
The Gaghans parting words
seen it , Phil chokes up little girl crys :unde: , Actually Dad talks about how proud he is that they ran a clean race and worked well together with each other as well as other teams ..no regrets on how they treated people
Harsh Reality
The Weavers talk to Phil about how shabbily they were treated by the other teams . They tell Phil that theres more to life than bashing each other ..
Rolly says his goal is the final three ..they are already beyond their expectations .
Great Adventures
More of the Gaghans talking with Phil
Rolling in dough
the Godlewskis tell Phil that they made 75$ begging and that all the teams chipped in 5$ and ate at McDonalds and how nice everyone was to them today even the gas station man . Phil says all the team? even the Weavers ? they say yes ..
they tell Phil that they shared a map with the Weavers ..not directions.
Confidence builder
the Bransens talk to Phil on the mat and how second guessing cost them another win to the pitstop .
They loved the rainforest and thought that was as good as winning the race .

is important! :] If we can get external research on what day that really is then we have a way to pin down the timeline. Also need to know when the video was made in terms of where it fits along the show. I have not seen it. Is it in Panama or in Costa Rica?
-
Maybe good ole Phil never adjusted his watch for the time change from Eastern Daylight Saving time and Central Standard Time which is in effect in Panama (two hour time diff.) Just a wild idea. Otherwise they may be just having rest periods of some strange arbitrary time span. Phil never says how long the pit stop lasts in this show, just that it is a mandatory rest stop.
-
Its on Costa Rica , Chateau , your too much |#' ..they talk about how Megans brother carried her to the pitstop and how the Bransens were trying to wave them to get ahead of them . And they say they are in Costa Rica .

Ma Gaghan has no sense of time. She says that they only spent 30 to 40 minutes doing the Roadblock, BUT, they started off second and four teams had found the bean by the time the Weavers arrived after a 60 minute YIELD. So Ma Gaghan must have spent at least 70 minutes finding the red bean!!
Curious editing here at the Coffee Planation. Paolos are first and as they read clue we see the Godlewski Sisters approaching the clue box and removing clue. Next the Gaghans are listed second and as they read their clue we see Papa Bransen taking clue from clue box. Then the Bransens are listed Third; the Linz listed as Fourth; and finally the Godlewski Sisters are listed Fifth. WHA' HOPPENED??
Final note on pit stop arrival times. If Phil's watch is correct showing 11:55AM, we can figure backward from the announced departure time of the Godlewski sisters which is 9:43PM (Last) and the announced departure time of the Paolo family 8:22(first) a difference of 1:21 that the Paolo family arrived at the pit stop at 10:22AM. So that means that the pitstop was for a strange duration of 34 hours.
But if Phil's watch has not been changed from Eastern DAYLIGHT Time, then the Paolos would have arrived at 8:22AM and the pit stop would have lasted 36 hours. Could the Paolos starting at 7:00AM when the boats became available at STRI boat dock, ride out to the Isla, return to the dock, find a Red Bus, go to the shipyard, do the bungee jump, and then ride the bus to the Meraflores lock forthe pit stop by 8:22 - an hour and 22 minutes? Which suggests that Phil's watch was correct and the pit stop was a strange 34 hours!
-
Yes. I am really certain about some of the sun shadows that appear in the show. The most pinpointing of all are when the Linzen and, later, the Gaghans go running up a stairway with a steel pipe handrail. The shadow of the rail is directly below the rail itself (off by only 1/2 inch for the Linzen and 3/4 inch for the Gaghans) This tells us, with precision, that the sun's azimuth exactly matched the run of the stairway. From Google Earth we can see that that stairway run is exactly perpendicular to the Miraflores Locks. The locks are oriented NW to SW at 137 degrees from north. That means the azimuth of the sun was just about 47 degrees when those teams went up the stairs. And that solar azimuth happened at 11:25 am. My estimates for the teams check in times were later (11:36 & 11:42 am); remember that the shadow was offset a liitle at the base. The shadows that I used to estimate the check in times were the roofline shadow on the large pump house building in the background when teams stood on the mat. There I could use the solar altitude.
And here is adding up of Paolos time for the day:
7:00 40 trip to BCI
7:40 4 find clue guy
7:44 4 read clue, back to boat
7:48 40 trip to dock
8:28 15 walk/run to bus
8:43 30 bus to piers
9:13 4 walk/run to box
9:17 2 trip to top
9:19 3 suit up
9:22 3 jump one
9:25 5 jump two
9:30 2 de suit
9:32 4 walk/run to bus
9:36 9 bus to locks
9:45 3 run to mat
So wouldn't the Paolos adjusted check in time be 11:55 minus 1:21? That is 10:34 am. The reason I got a bad estimate 9:45 was weak shadows to work with for that team.
Also, about Phil's watch being correct, the greeter seems to have the same time on his.
-
Misc. stuff:
- Another FF shot
- Is the Yield time penalty set down somewhere? The "hour"glass they use looks tiny.
- It's Elizabeth (thin face) with the bandaged left wrist. Two caps: one (clear) in the van on the way down from Poas; the second (bandaged) after they complete the bean task.
-
She's got the bandage on at the start of the Roadblock too. See # 36. I'm thinking it is just a sprain because she is shown driving with a wrist wrap in next week's preview.
But the injury. When did it occur? It's looking like it happened on the way to the Roadblock. To be sure, sometime between when they read the clue at the volcano (clue with the FF) and when they line up to watch Wally.
In Sucks, there is a poster who claims to have been there plus or minus a few days and that it can get and did get so foggy that you can't see the volcano. Speculation there is that there was a volcano related FF task that we don't see due to the fog. Or (my speculation) did something happen in doing the FF and things got bad because of the fog. So it got cut.
Anybody feel like fine tooth combing the run up/down to the volcano, the van departure order with who's still there, and what ever else seems out of place? }}
-
If this helps the Gaghans were asked how they got to the Volcano so fast and told the Clown on the Finish Line that some teams stopped to potty and change their clothes ..finding the exact times maybe impossable to pinpoint . Really interesting theory though Chateau :yaya:
off to find that Sugar cane & rum place.. |(
-
Did some double-checking and fine combing on TAR6. The clue box at the volcano site definitely had another fast forward. You see it very clearly as the Bransens read the clue about the coffee beans; in fact one girl is actually reading the FF very closely; later on the way back to the vans, one of the Linz boys is carrying the green folder openly. So although Phil says in Ep5 in Panama that "This is the only Fast Forward hiddend on the entire race" clever editing has the first part of his statement in a voice over "This is the only Fast Forward".....then on camera he continues "hidden on the entire race." I'm no audio engineer but there seems to be a change in pitch between the voice over and the on camera bit. So probably re-edited after the second FF was called off.
When the teams leave the volcano, everyone is off down the road while the Bransens go into the headquarters building/shop to buy a map; one of the sisters is holding the green FF.
But later when the the teams arrive at the coffee plantation, they are all together (except for the Weavers who are missing). The Bransen girl in the green tee shirt has no bandage on her wrist at this point. But this whole episode is strange. The teams although leaving at different times all arrive simu ltaneously and run toward the clue box. BUT all of the teams stop and watch as the Paolos decide on who to yield. Then they all wait until the Paolos are through and then let them be the first at the clue box. Such courtesy?
As the Paolos read the clue, the Godlewski sisters are seen picking up the next clue; the Gaghans read the clue next ("second place") and as they do we see Papa Bransen pickup a clue. Next the Bransens read theirs ("in third place")-the sister in Green still has no bandage on her wrist; next we have the Linz (in fourth place) and finally we get to the Godlewskies ("in fifth place") although we saw them pick up the clue before the Bransens. We do not see the bandaged wrist until later when she and her sister are standing by the rail as Meg Linz finds her red bean. This is finally the time the bandage has bee put on.
So she may indeed have fallen during the FF try; but did not have the sprain tended to until there was time during the Roadblock for the medical staff to attend to it. And the way all the teams are bunched up (except for the Weavers) and the order they are seen going down to find the bean there may indeed have been an aborted FF and when the teams assembled again at the coffee plantation, the pecking order was revised somehow.
There was a Fast Forward envelope without any doubt. But why have a FF at the time as you have a Yield. This would mean that if you took the FF you could not be yielded. They have been on the same ep before, but not on the same task as the yield. I stand corrected if I remember wrongly.
