A blog entry (http://bettieconfettie.blogspot.com/2006/12/mele-kalikie-maka-merry-christmas-in.html) about Shipwreck beach, with a photo of an "amazing" traffic arrow.(http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/th_Maui143.jpg)" Enter Shipwreck Beach. The real, live shipwreck is in the background. The arrow is there to direct teams from that reality show "Amazing Race". Apparently they were filming an episode that weekend." ( posted on Dec 21st )
OK, I'll change the subject to Lanai. ;D :ninja Here's a drive-time map (http://www.filmmaui.com/refrence/lanai_mapdr.htm), courtesy of FilmMaui, and the picture below shows some spec spots for the shipwreck parking lot (the arrow from the blog pointed right, towards the beach). The Liberty ship is in the upper-left corner.
About the taxi cabs at the end:
C/M and E/D are in sanfran and D/K are still in Hawaii I think..
Yes Peach, very slow for me too! I think it's getting better though!Its all a ploy to make you imagine them Jell-o wrestling with you as teh Ref. :yess:
WHY ARE D/K FIGHTING :groan:
they'll make up, I know it, and then WIN!
Anybody else having Forum problems??
Very, very slow for me too!
Peach once you get to 34 hours of board usage the processor slows your posting time. :lol3:
Puddin, how sure are you of Eric/Danielle winning? What exactly is it that makes you so sure of them winning. Thanks. ;)I wasn't there at End City Tyler :waves:
Aren't there palm trees in California?I know you already said that, lol.
Dustin's hair is different there then it is while driving and fighting with Kandice
Aren't there palm trees in California?
I think that shot was from Hong Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HKMarathonCheungTsingTunnel.jpg).nvm ...thanks Chateau :kogs
I think that shot was from Hong Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HKMarathonCheungTsingTunnel.jpg).
Charla has a cell phone :snicker:
web clues are up!
ooh, thanks puddin, i was about to add a photo in but yours is better !!
I think it's interesting to have a challenge about knowing your teammate right at the end, C/M would be awesome at that, E/D and D/K I'm not so sure about.
* Dustin & Kandice have a rare disagreement which prompts Dustin to be hurt by her friend.
* Charla & Mirna vow to rely on their wit and ability to navigate airline flights in order to beat the physically stronger teams. Will the underdog team prevail?
* A final task puts to the test how well each team member knows each other. Will this certain team at a disadvantage?
* Find out which team will win The Amazing Race: All-stars.
I get a very early in the morning feeling from this shot.
Charla has a cell phone :snicker:
That looks awfully big and fat for a cell phone these days. My guess is that this is the radio/phone belonging to the cab driver.
Located on the west coast of Lanai, Kaumalapau Harbor is the main harbor for the island where most fishing boats depart. The area was once a thriving and busy harbor when pineapple was king on the island. Now the harbor is quiet with only an occasional fisherman on the wharf and the Lanai Oil Company in the background.
Directions:
Take Highway 440 west from Lanai City to the end of the road. The harbor is approximately 7.5 miles out of town.
GMAN, this one's for you:
FLIGHT OPTIONS HNL TO SFO
1. UA 76 departs 2105 arrives 0501
2. NW 222 departs 2200 arrives 0558
3. either of UA1040 or US8377 departing HNL 2000 or 2005 to Lihue, Kauai, both connecting to UA 4912 codeshared US6712 departing 2115 arriving 0520
4. probably too late to do any good, DL632 departs 2325 arrives 0729
The Munro Trail is a nine mile dirt jeep trail that runs along the highest ridge on the island of Lanai in Hawii. The trail twists and turns as it runs along the ridge and it ends at the top of 3370 foot Mount Lanaihale, which is Lanai's highest point.
You need a four-wheel drive vehicle to drive the Munro Trail, and the road can be very muddy. It is also possible to hike the Munro Trail, but it is a hot and difficult hike on steep, uneven terrain. The trail should not be attempted, either on foot or in a 4-wheel drive vehicle, when it has been raining heavily in the mountains.
The Munro Trail was named after New Zealander George Munro, who was the manager of the Lanai Ranch. He planted pine trees on Lanai in the 1950's as part of his Lanai reforestation and watershed program.
Great match peach! The Lanai harbor is perfect for the pic of E/D on the dingy thingy. :lol: I think the other two pictures (my earlier post) are at a different location though. The Lanai harbor doesn't appear to have an stacks/towers that are in the background shot of the BQ's. Also the shot of E/D running by a large tank doesn't appear to have other tanks immediately behind it like at Lanai harbor.
Another petroglyph reserve is located in the southern part of Lanai. From Lanai City, head toward Manele Bay on Manele Bay Road, then turn left on the first dirt road. The petroglyphs are just beyond the large water tank on the slopes of the hill.
Is it this tree?
:faint: :bow:
I surrender, Boingo! :lol:
But Quicktime is out for me right now....
So--where's the doggone tree?? :funny:
The task in San Fran is most likely the detour (the facts about your partner). Season 9, 8, 3 all ended with puzzles that were roadblocks in the final destination city (though in season 9 you could talk to your partner.
A bouy clue next to the Liberty ship. (the water doesn't seem so deep; in one of the caps it looks like a BQ is standing up outside the kayak)Good catch Slowhatch! Is that from the online promo? I'm having an awful time with the resolution (:;)
:tup: Right, it's the web promo. Here's the bouy from a different viewpoint.OK but in the Kayaks they aren't wearing safety helmets just vests but in the caves whatever they are...I think, lol.
Nice Slowhatch! So maybe they are just going after a buoy clue? Near the shipwreck?Heres a shot (http://local.live.com/default.aspx?cp=20.785611|-156.951418&style=h&lvl=14&v=1) peach fwiw
I found something today that said the waters around the wreck were not suitable for swimming as the waters are too rough!
Who's good at GE? I tried to look at that tank at the airport but as ususal GE hates me--all I got was a big cloud!
Maybe it isn't safety helmets---but snorkel gear instead? ;D:ya3: lol ..I don't like the water.
You two keep fighting it out, good job :nanaYeah I did, I even typed it correct later in the sentence. I am a dumbass.The task in San Fran is most likely the detour (the facts about your partner). Season 9, 8, 3 all ended with puzzles that were roadblocks in the final destination city (though in season 9 you could talk to your partner.
Dustin has a Detour clue ..mswood, maybe you meant Roadblock?

haha, I was joking about the cigar shop :snicker:Well thats the only type challenge it could be? Too bad too sad for the YQ's :happy:
I'm thinking that's going to be a task kind of like TAR8 and TAR9 where it is right at the finish line and once it is completed you run straight in....woah, it would suck if Eric lost that way again
just a thought:
(http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/7268/30Apr0032.th.jpg)(http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9624/30Apr0031.th.jpg)
OK, unless C/M decide to switch Detours then one of these tasks has to be a "random" task because Charla doesn't have any more RB (she told Mirna in leg 12 that she wanted to save the last RB for her)
Oh I see Chateau is here, he's the GE pro
Those neck things are the waterproof mikes the racers have to wear when working around water.Well now you tell me :lol:!!
Somewhere I saw an interview about them with a former racer.
I think the water tank shot is a solid match
Nice work Peach!
:jumpy: Hi everyone I was looking at the picture of the airport in reply 85 and look into the left hand cornor and see the brown tank and how the trees look and then look at the picture in reply 91 and see the brown tank and the trees. Looks like they could be a match since the parking lot would be on that side of the runways and hangers. ???
Nice Boingo!
Want to play water tank now? :rotf:
I'm thinking maybe this is near where they get their cars? Airport? Harbor? We need to find a wall in front of a tank!
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP13/29Apr0013.jpg)
Seems like if we are seeing them exiting the zodiac at the harbor--then they are likely to be arriving. Maui--Lanai trips arrive at this harbor.
Or they could be doing the dolphin watching or sea turtle excursions! :lol3:
Possibilities:
Honolulu to Maui by helicopter, Maui to Lanai by zodiac (nice and scenic and we could see spinner dolphins! and explains seeing the teams leaving the zodiacs)
Honolulu to Lanai by helicopter, with another zodiac excursion. (harder to make this one fit)
Honolulu to Lanai by helicopter, and a zodiac excursion back from Shipwreck beach? (there is a round the island trip--but the climbing over the rocks shots means they arrived by car...)
Trips to the island of Lanai invite superb snorkeling and spinner dolphin encounters are quite common. Visit a sea cave with us for an unforgettable experience!
Is that the same as this one Boingo? What an excellent match!
Because if is the same one--they have sea caves!QuoteTrips to the island of Lanai invite superb snorkeling and spinner dolphin encounters are quite common. Visit a sea cave with us for an unforgettable experience!
http://www.hawaiioceanrafting.com/
But have the teams ever done scuba? Aside from Adam's closed dive? We did have the rumor of a diving bell task in Mauritius but real scuba would take some orientation. The Dustin cap looks like snorkel gear to me...
Do you want me to move them here?
They are in my photobucket (http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP13/?start=all) and start at 00005-1-2007, then end at the top of the page.
Okay--now we know they take a cab in Hawaii--why? Where? (and don't you just love the phone with the lei? Heee....)
Honolulu airport to helicopter site? zodiac site?
Surely they don't need one on Lanai becuase they drive themselves, right?
So why do they need a cab in Honolulu?
:lol3::umn: ..yeah i'm out of the loop :lol:. All I keep thinking is how to get my BF to buy me Windows Vista before X-Mas :groan:
Well puddin, that was a very.......thorough job! I think we can safely say that is the harbor--now we just have to figure out where they went!

So it looks like when the teams get to Kaumalapau Harbor they will find the DETOUR CLUE. Both K/D and E/D seem to have them in hand. So how did they get here? Is this the first location they have to find on Lanai? And, what are the two tasks?They get there by the Zodiac right?
Detours Drive/Dive/Swim/ stand up paddle surfing? /Zodiac's not sure other water tasks mixed in there this is the confusing part.
...note, Charla is wearing same "bathing suit" she wears at shipwreck.
Why is Dustin wearing pants under water ?
Why is Dustin wearing pants under water ?
:touche: :lol:Why is Dustin wearing pants under water ?
Because she's wearing pants above water? :lol:
:-\ Just throwing this out there.... C/M may be at the Manele Bay Boat Harbor :angel:Thats the Small Boat Harbor that I posted yesterday (http://www.vthawaii.com/LANAI/QTVR/SmallBoatHarbor2.htm) , they don't give us enough to match it :meow:
Added Manele Bay to Lanai_locations GE map in previous posting above
Oh Good Job Boingo! :jumpy: :yess: :jumpy:
Thanks for tracking that down--it has been nagging at me! :tup:
Okay:
E/D and BQ's at Harbor--on land looking for what? Cars to go driving? Port related task? Or is this after their detour of cave swimming?(doubt)
C/M at Manele Beach for what? Their Detour of paddle surfing?
But what is the Roadblock?
One of the swimming things we see? .......or the Drive thing? .................or something else?
In reading other tourist activities I keep reading about archery and clay shooting. And then there is the cliff jumping competition....
Trilogy Ocean Sports Adventure Center is located at Manele Small Boat Harbor.
That looks like Danielle to me. Could she be doing a RB, we know she has to do the RB.
Use the shift key to zoom the VRs, Puddin. :jam: source page (http://www.visitlanai.com/mammal.htm)Good eye Slowhatch :ninja and Boingo for you :kuss:QuoteTrilogy Ocean Sports Adventure Center is located at Manele Small Boat Harbor.
So it looks like when the teams get to Kaumalapau Harbor they will find the DETOUR CLUE. Both K/D and E/D seem to have them in hand. So how did they get here? Is this the first location they have to find on Lanai? And, what are the two tasks?
From these vidcaps it looks like Dustin and Kandice have paddled the kayak out to the liberty ship wreck and are pulling a clue off the side of the ship. So the task is to paddle out through the surf and retrieve a clue, then back to the beach and off again somewhere else.
What VR's are we zooming and where please? :lol:
Thanks Peach.Well we see the priority on that shot.
First things first here.
This shot was taken here between 10:43 and 11:01 am (assumes December 15th)
This shot was taken at 12:55 pm
Snort
Chateau, just based on watch I think the time is 11:55 AM.
Thanks Peach.

Glad you noticed the time. I wanted to see if Puddin saw it!
I'm not sure where they got their jeeps. There's only one rental agency--and one gas station--on the island (see here (http://www.hawaiiweb.com/lanai/html/sites/Dollar_rent_a_car.html) and the VR here (http://www.vthawaii.com/LANAI/QTVR/GasStation.htm)), and the standard issue seems to be orange/yellow (rust?).
Makz3d, about the watch/time, I am standing by the 12:55 pm time based on shadows. It's just that when I saw that the shadow calcs were ending up at near something:55 I realized that the watch was good for the "55" part.
I think we need to get Eric a new watch. His is missing its hour hand :rotf:.
Glad you noticed the time. I wanted to see if Puddin saw it! :snicker:
I'll play later when I'm not at work--but you might want to try the airport air traffic control tower first... ;)
Thanks Puddin, but still, HELP Apskip, we need the takeoff and landing times.
Airwise doesn't like us anymore. I saw that Mswood could not get info there.
:-\ OK, I'm bored. Looks like we need another challenge till Sunday. Any ideas what the "white" structure behind Mirna & TheCAB taxi somewhere on Oahu is? ??? :angel:
I think Boingo cropped that picture Gman ,,it sure makes it look like Mirna is in the front seat! Almost like it was faked in a photochop.
:happy: This view matches nicely. Hickum AFB Control Tower Thanks for the hint, peach. :jam:

Peach - that's Mirna saying "are you deaf"
Is that Mirna on the beach with the same top as in the helicopter?
If so, then the Honolulu to Lanai helicopter and directly to Shipwreck beach is probably correct. And I agree with whoever said upsteam that their hula looks like welcome to Hawaii happy dance.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP13/10.jpg)
OOPS, for some reason I thought that shot of E/D was at an airport and the shot of D/K was at a different location, my bad!hush let Chateau do his thing :bow: :crown
Puddin! We both deleted our posts LOL :groan:
E/D at Honolulu airport running about 10+AM
It was when you wrote this:QuoteE/D at Honolulu airport running about 10+AM
I've got them running at the Lanai airport at that time!
Like maybe they stopped to read the clue then pulled their hairback while reading then ran for the kayaks, yeah I can see that happening.
And, on the beach run shots, wouldn't you band up your hair when you realize you have a long run to make. Maybe the end of the road caught the BQs by surprise and they hadn't put their hair up yet. The hair-down part of the running is right next to the end of the road. The other shots are farther along towards the ship. :umn:
I never meant to create confusion with the avtar. I, like some people here am a fan of Danielle and Eric and I foudn this avtar and used it without checking if it was already in use. Agin I am sorry for upsetting or confusing people.

Hello again argyrop, they were just having fun with us thats all, you are more than welcome to use that avatar :hearts:
If Kayaks are last then thats good with me because E/D are in the lead at this point.
BQ's capsize
Charla can't row...

It'll be interesting to see if traffic will play a key role in final outcome. Traffic around the area is horrible on Sundays. GG Park streets are closed to cars on Sundays so the surrounding streets are usually congested, a lot of construction going on in and around the park, and the main expressway (19th Ave) from SFO is usually backed up for several miles. Public transportation from SFO would be quicker.
Are we very sure that E/D are holding Detour clues and not RB clues at the Harbor? (Trying to be sure SF task is a RB)
Thanks Boingo!
Don't forget about MAPS! (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,11464.msg185001.html#msg185001) too--good maps there.

What time is it Chateau :lol: ??
Of coruse I'm not sure where this is? I suppose one of you will figure it out quickly though?
Oh my God, what are we going to do once Sunday is over, OK, Monday we will have the interviews and press stuff to keep us busy, but then....no more TAR until TAR12 spoilers begin circulating! :'(
Looks like they are celebrating that they are way ahead of C/M not knowing that C/M made different flight out of Guam but all three teams will hook up together in NRT for fllight NW 10 to HNL.
New image of C/M from the finale?: http://tv.yahoo.com/.
Taxi+air traffic control tower is a match.
Why does she look so relaxed? already has a reservation? There is time for them to catch their breath I think.
Me and the CHA's --right? :lol3:
OH Good Job Chateau :jam: :jumpy:!!!
I'll miss all of you going to Tarcon but am expecting lots of pictures :happy: :yess:
HaHa I have my flame retardent suit ready Michael, it might be need that needs comforting :lol: :kissy:
This shot was taken here. There is a business there called Offshore Flight School and they do helicopter tours.We'll I can't find pictures just a map http://www.local.com/large_map.aspx
Well all I know is that if I ever hear about the winner or any kind of list again I'm not posting it :lol:! I think it took the fun out of the season sooooo..HaHa I have my flame retardent suit ready Michael, it might be need that needs comforting :lol: :kissy:
you think people will be mad at you if the list is wrong? :jumpy: I'll go easy on you, don't worry, but honestly, we both know you have nothing to worry about. It just can't be wrong. Everything points to that now... :( for me, ;D for Big Papi!
yeah it did - and even if it's wrong all of us went the whole season believing it, but you know...I think secretly we are all glad we knew it because we are spoiler obsessed :lol3:
This shot was taken here. There is a business there called Offshore Flight School and they do helicopter tours.

Didn't we note that the helicopter belonged to someone else?
If they are waiting there must be a time involved when they can leave by chopper (note Mirna consulting her watch).
Still there is the question of where and when they change clothes. On board the chopper Charla has her swim suit on already, and Mirna has her green halter top on; the same outfits they are wearing when going across the rocks toward the shipwreck (later we see her in a red bikinia tip). So a lot of clothes changes going on in this ep
Well all I know is that if I ever hear about the winner or any kind of list again I'm not posting it ! I think it took the fun out of the season sooooo..
Oh I think they fly back to Honolulu by chopper too Boingo :tup:
Sorry if I ruined the season but like my friend on another board says " A spoiler isn't a spoiler untill the show has aired."
I was trolling around CBS and found this fwiw:
Whats on CBS in May (http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer3/play.pl?type=rm&width=480&height=360&feat=vplayer&adtype=pre&arena=video&prod=innertube&id=136347&ord=76297.74669898854) ( video )
voice over: the unbelievable finish of the Amazing Race All-Stars
Yeah puddin, that's what I've been saying all along, a spoiler isn't a spoiler until it's proven to be right :knuckles: if it's right I think you deserve the best spoiler in the universe award, even if it wasn't your list to begin with.I agree.
The only win of the F3 that I would find "unbelievable" would be C/M ???
E/D COULD be unbelievable since they haven't won a single leg this race. But then, DK or CM could both be unbelievable for being the first F/F team to win..That would explain why it looked familiar. :groan:
joemike, usually the team not shown a lot are the ones who do well in the leg, but who knows....all I know is I'm expecting a E/D win, praying for a D/K win, and hoping for an awesome finale.
mswood- that shot of Eric is at the Malaysian pit stop!
it looks like e/d are watching another team go. Like they got there after some1
:lol: FWIW, looks like the helicopter C/M are flying in resembles an A-Star helicopter. Ignoring the fact that Heli USA flies A-Star helos, the windows seem to match. Just one more bit of useless information. :knuckles:I thought early on we had pix of helicopter N4064F taking off at Honolulu airport. This chopper i belongs to Sunshine Helicopters and flies throughout the islands.

hmmm....a quick google search shows Sunshine Helicopters is based in Hilo and Kona, and hard to pin them down to a Honolulu location. BTW, they also fly A-Star helos. Maybe you can track down some additional info to support your case. I don't recall seeing any previews showing the racers actually entering/exiting the N4064F aircraft. Could be stock footage.

Just gotta ask. A couple seasons ago I would look at spoilers at ALL the sites but not anymore (because there is no better place than RFF!) :hearts:Try this Sups :hearts:
Anywho, I know that this Miss Alli is the main mod at TWOP for Amazing Race right? What I don't know is why she is so well hated and what Mirna said about her. Care to fill me in? ---- Off topic I know.
Oh I think the BQ's are really good racers and actually wanted them to win last season because the other 3 teams were a snore.
i wish kris and john would have been on. I really liked themI think that was like 99.9% of us wanted too :jam: .
Kris and John - my favorite team to never win, but that could change after tomorrow ..I think they should have had John Vito and Jills spot.
we're going to hell :happy:
OMG I'll never drink Kool-Aid again :lol:we're going to hell :happy:
OH YEAAAAA!!!! I'm impressed you got the kool-aid guy on camera...oh wait.

As long as I wake up and make my 6:30 am flight I'll be there :martini:Be safe my friend :hearts:!!
That sucks!Yea same (except I'll be doing it while I'm out)
I probably wont even be paying attention to the show at all. The whole time I will be thinking "GET FAR AHEAD DUSTIN AND KANDICE!" and then at the end after it's done I'll be either very, very sad (but happy since I have no school tomorrow) or really really happy :D
I love Finale time - but I'm sad the season will be over after today :(
$HOP@HOL!C - No, I've never talked to either of them, I'm guessing they must go to sucks (another forum) once in a while as they know me by my user name over there!!! I am quite the D/K defender to the haters on that site.
Yeah, I hope so. I don't think I could stand to see Eric's face again so disappointed and disgusted with himself like in season 9.:-[ :angel:
At least you had the Hippies to console you.
Puddin just think what e were doing last time their was a season finale.
Oh I think we will have very very good news, maybe tonight? about Season 12 :yess:You tease.
;)Oh I think we will have very very good news, maybe tonight? about Season 12 :yess:You tease.
It was the greatest day in race history (for me at least).Oh, I remember going crazy on sucks the night Izad posted his photos, It made up for D/K being eliminated the week before when I saw them there :D
We got the last episode of season 10 with Tyler & James winning (my picks from t he first episode) so yeah I was happy. And later that night we got Izad's spoilers. Both puddina nd myself were big fans of Eric (though for some reasons she liked BJ & Tyler more), so we were very happy. It was awesome. Pluse beisdes Charla & Mirna I was happy with all the two other teams shown (Oswald & Danny my favorite of the gay teams, and Dustin & Kandice who are my favorite of the female teams).
So it was just an awesome night.
Oh probably the wrong thread but........ :ninja

And back to TAR ..good news I hear season TAR12 has an unofficial greenlight from CBS, whatever that the hell that means.
Oh there is no real question that the producers have geared tehmselves up for season 12.
The questions are:
1. Will it get an official greenlight.
And based on ratings (especially the target ad demo) it should.
2. Will it stay on the same night? I think so.
3. Well we get two seasons next year?
That to me is the real kicker. I could see them saving the show as a mid season replacement or even hold it to fill any early shows that get cancelled. At very worst it would be a good summer show as well.
somebody from TWOP says that the show is going to run late on CBS due to golf, Maybe I'll know the winners before you guys :happy:
on another note: I hope we see Glenn tonight! :lol3:
hmm, oops, sorry!
Actually I was watching golf, was it cut off and the news came on? I thought Tiger had more shots ???

not sure i think it finished, cause 60 min is on in 10 min here
Puddin just think what e were doing last time their was a season finale.
Damn that was a freaking awesome day.
This place is going to be lonesome next week, then we have the official CBS pickup announcement on the week of hte the 15th (or so).
AND THERE BETTER BE A PICKUP NOTICE!!!
And then the wait for seasons 12's (hopefully) start up.
God, I might have to start watching Big Brother... :umn:
Now that this season is winding down, still thinks eason 10 was the most spoiled?
How about Jimmy Johnson, Puddin, winning yet again!Gotta love those Hendricks motors :grins:
Keep an eye on Atlanta Airport May 19. Something newsworthy will happen. :yess:
Ahh Puddin, Hendrick Motorsports is winning all the COT races....it's getting tiresome.Agreed Tyler as well as predictable, someone like Jr needs a win :jam:
I don't understand the connection between Kamaka Air (http://kamakaair.com/index.html?) and Sunshine Helicopters (still haven't seen it yet), but Chateau (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12083.msg187343/topicseen.html#msg187343) was spot-on for the location: 144 Palekona st. :yess:

Why did they only try for flights to Oakland and not San Francisco? Or did I miss something?
Somebody has some pull (perhaps the NW agent in Guam) as D/K and E/D start olff in Tourist Class, on NW 10 from NRT to HNL but after door is shut we now see them in plush Busiiness Class seats for the flight from NRT to HNL
All in all one of the best TARs and we had a pretty good time tracing the actual travel in real time and figuring out the rest. TPTB threw us a couple of curve balls, but not too many.
Yes, Kogs (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12172.msg187720/topicseen.html#msg187720) mentioned it last night. When the racers finished the detour, the clue card they were given for Shipwreck beach was half-hidden (sorry, no photo yet), which is always a good sign of a missing task.
In Tokyo-Narita airport, Charla and Mirna pulled the coup of the century! Let me explain. They were supposed to have been on NW81, which left Guam at 1545 and arrived NRT at 1845. Their booked connection was to NW10(leaving at 2030) just like Eric/Danielle and Dustin/Kandice. Perhaps they arrived a little early and decided to try something theoretically impossible. United 880 left at 1900, with a connect time that is not doable. If you have been to Narita (and I have recently) you know that the gate layout for all the airlines from America is reasonably compact, so changing from one gate to another in a short time is conceivable. UA880 had surely been closed by the time Charla/Mirna got to the gate, but it appears that they talked their (and their camera/sound crew) way onto that flight. It should have arrived approximately one hour before NW10. Ultimately the bunching back at Honolulu airport for the Oakland flight would have negated any advantage from this, but it did give them a considerable head start on Lanai.
To pull this off, you have to be totally prepared. I have no doubt that Mirna was ready and knew what to look for when they arrived in Narita.
I was just looking for flights from NRT to HNL leaving between 7:00PM and 8:30PM and the only flights that I can find are the following that leave at 7:00PM. There is nothing later. The next best flights are the NWA flights.
UA880
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am
ANA7024
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am
USAirways 6476
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am
Therefore it looks all teams will be neck and neck going into HNL. IF C/M are on that earlier flight into NRT, the gods would have to be shining on them brightly in order for them to try and change tickets and make a 7:00PM flight. That would be amazing if it happened but I don't see it happening. That's almost impossible!

I CALLED IT!! In the wrong thread of course. I mentioned UA880 back in the episode 12 thread. though I didn't expect Mirna to pull it off! :lol3:

does anyone know the time difference of the arrival of the 3 teams at the finish line???
I am looking forward to CHATEAU's analysis to confirm or refute these times.

And then it was a matter of being at the taxi stands to get the best taxi, and unfortunately our taxi driver had no idea where anything in San Francisco was. He also didn't have a working telephone, so it put us at a disadvantage. It was a little bit of an unlucky situation having to change taxis three times that day. So it really I think shows it a little differently than it truly was. We arrived at [Old Mint, the site of the All-Stars' final challenge] just as [All-Stars' winning duo of Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner] were finishing up.
Finally, the last episode...the forced bunching obviously did not help us. When we all arrived in Oakland, it was a race to a clue box at the taxi stands. We were obviously last there and got the worst taxi. Our driver was clueless and his cell phone did not work. Needless to say Eric got first choice of taxis and we knew the Race was basically over for the rest of us. We all finished the Race not more than 2 hrs after arriving in Oakland. No, we did not redo any task, that is pretty absurd, that is never done. Our first clue was a picture of a house and we were supposed to find it. The clue said the house is where the Grateful Dead lived one summer. The house turned out to be on Haight and Ashberry streets, then there you found your next clue to go to the Mint, then from the Mint to the finish line.
For us personally, the day was a nightmare, our driver was not familiar with San Fransisco at all, he would not let us use his radio, and there was no other means of communication in his car, we kept showing the picture to people in cars on the streets until one girl noticed it. Eric later told me his taxi driver let him use his radio and he had the dispatcher use the internet to get the info while the BQs followed his car. Sad part is that we usually didn't like to follow people, so as usual we didn't.
At the house, we just kept asking people for the Mint location and directed our Taxi driver. But he was clueless and took us down a one way street. I finally got out and pulled Charla by the arm and ran the rest of the 1/8 mile to the Mint ourselves.
Everyone was there when we got there. All I saw was that Eric was finishing up when I went into the room. None of us knew that our teammates had to take part in this too. I had been studying every waking minute the last 3 days for a mental challenge (ie. flags, places visited, placing orders etc.) little did we expect a gossip quiz. When I finished (after about 95 seconds), I noticed people calling Charla to come in the room. About 1 minute later Eric and Danielle left. The BQ left about 8 minutes later, and we left a few minutes after that. But our driver had no idea were the botanical gardens were, so we stopped in front of a hotel to change taxis. There the BQs original driver was asking us for money saying they bailed on him without paying their fare. (I assume they changed taxis too). Our new driver insisted he knew where it was but he turned out to be more clueless than the first, luckily he had a map and I pointed where the Garden was. He took us to the wrong entrance and we had a 1/2 mile run on a gravel construction site. It was a nightmare, Charla kept falling on her wheelies and finally a woman came and helped me pull her. (you can seen that on Cbs website behind the scenes) The extra run took us about 12 minutes. The end.
The weather issue-well what do think? I can tell you we arrived at the dhows around early/mid afternoon (maybe 3pm). pulled a tab (1 of 3sets) and were told the dhow would take off at 10pm. At 10pm, when the next batch of the teams were just arriving at the location (U&J, D&K, Chas), we went back to the dhow to board and were told to come back at 5am the next day. We were not happy, but what could we do? I wondered how that would be pieced together, it was terrible like the rest of the editing. The next day it was totally smooth sailing, not a wave or cloud in sight and I don't remember it ever raining those 2 days. What do you think???
second they stole our flight and Danny and Ozzy's flight in Zanzibar to Poland.
The clue said the house is where the Grateful Dead lived one summer. The house turned out to be on Haight and Ashberry [sic] streets, then there you found your next clue to go to the Mint, then from the Mint to the finish line.
Also the hood of the mystery car is red, which doesn't match any cab the racers took from the mint (if it's a cab at all).
There the BQs original driver was asking us for money saying they bailed on him without paying their fare. (I assume they changed taxis too).Oh they broke a rule :naughty:

Hey Hey Strat, good to see you here! :jumpy:
So my original suspicion that there was an unshown task was right. I started thinking is was a call'em back/retake on the Mint task due to the locations seen from the taxis. But doing Haight Ashbury gets you going down the same streets (Fell, Oak).
So now we have taxi karma to pin the win on. E&D's driver had all the good stuff for a winning ride. Both the BQs and C&M had such frustrations with their drives that they had to dump them. That eats time.
I wonder if there has been a rule set up that forbids racers from doing what Colin did with the driver "Earl" where they called ahead for a capable and willing driver. That is an advantage worth doing something about.
