Probably means a double leg (which replaces the NEL) so its like a NEL without a pitstop.

I can only assume that they would only dump ONE team this episode. Most likely on the 6th leg. I assume leg 5 is Non-elim. Is there a reason for this though? Maybe drama later in the race? or a chance to automatically see the new NEL rules in effect?

Something with a lot of G-force - maybe a simulator (I keep thinking of that simulator Homer went on in the Simpsons when he was trying to go into space). Or bungy jumping or sky diving.

Putting a team through G-Forces could certainly change your face. In England and only about 25 miles from central London, out past Heathrow Airport and Windsor Castle you will find the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. Here at the Institute of Aviation Medicine is located a large Centrifuge which the Royal Airforce uses to train pilots to withstand up to 8 to 10 G's or forces of gravity. Perhaps this is where TAR would be going to realy put our teams to the test. And certainly do some face lifting! or sagging as the case may be.

Traegen's reference to G-forces and the fact that we all believe the next leg will be in and around merry ole Londontown got me to remembering days gone by.  In 1958 I was working on a film for the BBC about space travel and we visited Farnborough and the Institute of Aviation Medicine. The centrifuge is awesome to ride, but not life threatening. Certainly no more dangerous than paragliding or jumping out of airplanes so I imagine that TAR could very well visit Franborough and it would lead credence to the expression about wanting a face lift for a very long time. Can't wait to see Rob or Amber on the centrifuge!!!!

Yes, I think I am well-travelled since I have spent a lifetime cruising the world producing documentary films for the USGovernment, but alas compared to me Don and Meredith are a couple of  sping chickens. I would have loved to take part in TAR if it had been produced 20 years ago when I was a mere 57!

Puddin,  These twists and turns are fun.  I guess if the flight to India spoiler is correct, the race must go to South Africa, then to Turkey and England (or vice versa), and then back to Botswana.

That's not a gorge Deana is walking over, it is across the top of the cooling tower in South Africa!!! (Scene matches one from opening montage). So the first FF, Deana and Ray but who else? They were sixth at the pit stop in La Martina, but if the teams are flying to Johannesburg, SA from Buenos Aires I expect we will see a major bunching of all teams once again.

I do not think that London is on the itinerary (nor Turkey). The producers are getting smart and including recycled and misleading shots of the world in their opening. Since Rob and Amber won a trip to London, I don't believe the teams will be going there during this race. The same was true, I think, in TAR5 when they kept including a shot of the Eifle Tower in Paris in the opening montage, but the teams never went there but one of the teams won a trip there as a first-place bonus.

If the spoiler from South Africa is correct, the two-hour, two-leg episode next week will cover South Africa and Botswanna. The teams then fly to India. So the trips to Melbourne and Hobart may indeed be correct.

And it looks like the first leg next week will be the first NEL. Which follows other races in which the FF and NEL occur in the same episode.

Hobart and Montreal are classic Claude non-spoilesr, repeated in his different delusional incarnations. If their true, it would be by pure luck (he throws so many names up, one of them will stuck eventually).

They wanted to go to turkey before, and there are a awfull lot of legs to go, so they must go somewhere.

Do they really skip europe and the middle east and spend the rest of the race in Asia and oceania?

I don't think they go to Botswanna in the double leg. I think Botswanna is really leg #7.

Does anybody know where the cave is, is it really in Africa?

If the racers really have to go back to Europe to transfer to Africa, they'd be fools not to run a leg there.

Just because the previews don't show this, doesn't mean they don't go to England. Especially considering how dramatic the previews are.

Post by: gingerman28 on March 23, 2005, 09:46:25 AM
First, there are flights from Buenos Aires to Johannesburg, South Africa. Most connect through Sao Paulo, Brazil and take a good deal of time best flights leave BA at 10:45AM or 2:45PM and both arrive in SA on the same flight at 6:55AM. Thus they have time to do something in BA and then get to the airport (EZE)  for a flight to South Africa. Just checked flights to Johannesburg, but there may be other flights to Cape Town or Pretoria. All three are major entry points to South Africa.

Would they award a trip to London, if the teams were going to London any way?  I don't remember any time they have awarded a trip to a city they also went to during the race.  The Turkey scenes most likely were recorded during the pre-production for TAR5 before the leg was cancelled, so the producers are just using up material they have on hand. And just to mislead us who like to lay out the itinerary before the race even starts!

So numbers 52 to 59 are all shots of Gretchen falling? I can't feel anything more than worried for her and now my mind is starting to blame CBS/World Race Productions for having them do something like that that could cause injuries...

Those shots look really scary but I really do think and hope that Merideth and Gretchen will pull through. They deserve a hell of a lot more credit than people give them and this episode will surely prove if they have what it takes to race along with the younger teams.

Thanks for the screencaps Puddin!  |#'
Anyone up for the voiceovers/audio transcript (? I'm blanking out)

Are Kelly and Uchenna there to see Gretchen falling? Or did they hear it? I'll edit later after I finish watching it..

One thing I learned working with kids and the first aid training I got is that head wounds bleed a lot. I once saw a kid whose face was completely covered with blood, when he got cleaned up and everything all he needed was two band-aids. I think Gretchen's injury looks a lot worse than it is.

So, who is that on the ground after the brothers wreck? Looks like one of them is bending over. What about the camera person? Wonder if Alex and Lynn will stop to help?

I thought just by the fact that Gretchen was smiling was a good sign. I think she will be okay. Meredith probably makes it out to be more than it is.

In the pic it looks like: sound/video guy - Brian or Greg (which one wheres the bandana around his head with the edge flipped up?) - video/sound guy hurt - Other Brother.

What happens to the racers if they hurt their crew?

no idea Traegan..but another team must stop to help? I mean who wouldn't  , besides we see someone filming this obviously ?

I bet Alex and Lynn at least stop to make sure everyone is okay.

I wonder if the camera person has a radio or phone for emergencies?

What is up with all the injuries in this ep? The bros, Gretchen, and if  the saying sticks (things happen in threes) who will be the third?

I saw it on the Insider clip when the teams were doing the book / market detour , he knew that Rob was ahead , he said the teams have  a cell phone to let him know where they are at and they check in regularly. I assume the phone is only to call Phil ..or maybe 911 ^/^

Also so Phil is not standing at the pit stop for hours on end.

Has anyone done a trasncript yet?
I'm really board so I'll do one just for the fun of it...


THE AMAZING RACE takes off for South Africa
(Small airplane leaving land)
(Bryan throwing a spear -?- at a bag of something hanging in the air)

Uchenna: That's what I'm talking about!

(Lion... Kelly -?- getting lowered into the cave by ropes)

A cave challenge...

Gretchen: Merideth!
Merideth: Come this way!
(Gretchen shown quickly in the dark crawling, Merideth shown walking through the cave with light)
(Gretchen shown stuck somewhere and kicks her legs)

Maybe the most dangerous ever...

Gretchen: Ahhh!
Merideth: You all right?!
Gretchen: Uhh!

(Gretchen crawling out of a whole)

Merideth: Help us!
(Kelly turning, probably reacting because she has heard this)
Merideth: She fell!

And for these two brothers
(Bryan and Greg in their car/jeep/whatever you ride in a Safari)
The next turn in the road

Greg: Watch out B, B, B, B!
(Ostrick running, thanks for the screencaps puddin)

Could lead straight to disaster..
(Car turning over from inside)

Greg/Bryan: Oh oh oh oh...

Someone says something here but I missed it
(Shows the wreck)

Creates the most dramatic episode ever...

Lynn/Alex: Oh my god!!
Lynn/Alex: Are you ok?



So Lynn and Alex definetly stops by to check if Bryan and Greg are ok

What do we know so far? I'm sure there'll be more previews over the weekend..

Does anyone know for sure which one goes first: Botswana or South Africa?
I'm pretty sure that everyone thinks this two hour episode will not be like the long/extended Hungary leg in TAR6 but will have two pitstop with one elimination and the other one a non-elimination (wasn't it mentioned that there will be a new twist?)

The Hungary leg was extended, according to Aaron himself, because the Production found out that it was illegal to beg in Hungary and there was supposed to be a non-elimination there. So when the teams arrived, they decided to extend the leg with an eliminating pitstop at the very end.

If we can tell which one goes first (Botswana or South Africa) we can probably rule out the possibilities for elimination if the first leg of the two hour is NOT a non-elimination leg.

I personally think that South Africa goes BEFORE Botswana (I'll feel so stupid if this has already been confirmed). The Spoiler with the Beading/Husband/Couple/Flight to India says that the woman of the team the person talked to spent three days in a Safari and if I can remember correctly this conversation was held in J'Burg.

From my knowledge, it is easier to get out of Africa from J'burg and so the teams might have been there for a connecting flight to India (Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here....)

Botswana
- Roadblock? : one of the brothers throwing a spear at a bag
- The car accident (Lynn and Alex pass by)

South Africa
- Roadblock? : cave thing, I'm guessing Gretchen finished the task and then when coming back fell somewhere and thats why Merideth was close by. The picture of her smiling with blood all over her face was probably shot when she got rescued from the cave and taken to somewhere with light. Is she possibly smiling because it wasn't a big deal? Or was it because she got rescued?
- Fast Forward : get across a small bridge on top of the Cooling Tower in J'Burg. Deana and Ray obviously goes for it but it says that two teams choose to take the fast forward and from clips it looks like the other team is Ron and Kelly (Ron -?- is in the background of one of the shots of Ray on the Cooling Tower)

How does Ray and Deana get the fast forward first if South Africa is the first leg of next week's episode? I'm guessing that there will be a huge bunching up in Buenos Aires Airport when the teams are instructed to make their way to South Africa. After that flight, Ray and Deana somehow gets the fast forward clue first and chooses to attempt it.

So sorry if ---none of this made any sense/I was stating the obvious/these aren't spoilers but mere speculation/all of these things have been confirmed

Post by: goodyingbadyang on March 25, 2005, 10:29:10 AM
Another thing, if Kelly was in the cave performing the Roadblock, then either they were beaten by Ray and Deana to the fast forward or they are not the other team going for it

Don't ever worry about stating the obvious, or not making any sense, goodNbad!!! I do that all the time!!!  )_^> I think you've made some very good points!!!

As for Kelly in the cave, since Ray & Deana are walking across the cooling tower, they must be first to get the FF. So Ron & Kelly must have to go back and do the regular tasks!!!

Just some notes
I think Deana finishes the Fast Foward , shes half way across ,why turn around now? Plus I think thats a harness and there probably is a saftey guide running across the top to catch them incase they fall , see what looks like taunt strap? or is it her overhead camara? or both?

Just some notes
I think Deana finishes the Fast Foward , shes half way across ,why turn around now? Plus I think thats a harness and there probably is a saftey guide running across the top to catch them incase they fall , see what looks like taunt strap? or is it her overhead camara? or both?

I was thinking that the cave thing was the Roadblock because Gretchen/Kelly/Uchenna are shown doing it and I'm guessing that Merideth is there because Gretchen completed the task and was going back before falling and calling for help.

Hence:
Gretchen: Merideth!
Merideth: Come this way!

Maybe its just me but it sounds like she finished the Roadblock and was returning and Merideth was just guiding her. In that shot Merideth is also running/walking possibly because Gretchen called for help.


EDIT: after looking at the screencaps again I now think that it CAN be the detour because Merideth's face and clothes are dirty, but isn't  it true that teams cannot be more than twenty feet apart? Wouldn't we have seen Merideth crawling in the small space where Gretchen is shown crawling through?

Throwing a spear at a hanging bag sounds like something only one racer would do, so I think it will be the Roadblock!!! But since this is a 2 leg episode, couldn't the cave be the other Roadblock? Maybe we haven't seen any Detour tasks yet!!!

  Re: TAR 7 [In reply to] 
Here's a portion of an e-mail that I was forwarded by a friend. I'm cutting out the personal parts so as not to embarrass the sender or original recipient of the e-mail. It confirms that Rob and Amber will be part of TAR7 and it also sounds like the show will include some safari adventures in Botswana.

Subject: hilarious travel story
Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 23:35:12 +0000

I just joined the contestants and crew of The Amazing Race on the flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to Mumbai, India. I am now an extra on Reality TV!

As I checked in for my transfer flight from Botswana there, standing at the ticket counter were two Beautiful People Americans with backpacks, film crews and stressed out looks on their faces. It
could only be one thing - REALITY TV! I spoke with a sound guy who told me with a wink and a smile that it was a "travel documentary" and when I got into the terminal, there were the rest of the teams with their sound guys and cameramen, waiting for our flight. And among the contestants are Rob and
Amber fromSurvivor All-Stars. And here's the inside scoop: EVERYONE HATES THEM
!

As you may imagine, I became quite friendly with one of the teams (in fact I met the woman while buying a cool bracelet for my nephew in a gift shop - we bonded over the beading! and I sat in front of her husband on the 10 hour flight). Suffice it to say that reality tv is quite hilarious. I don't know
how they can be as natural as they are with these entourages of cameramen and producers following all over. I actually caught them at a very relaxed phase, after they had spent three days on SAFARI IN BOTSWANA! They are headed up north to a temple near the Himalayas.

The people I feel worst for are the film crews who also have to keep all of their stuff in a backpack that they carry with them along with all their equipment while they schlepp after the teams. I got some inside scoop but was sworn to secrecy. Suffice it to say, though, that they were all having a great time and it sounds like they've done some very cool stuff.

I'm usually wrong when I make these kinds of guesses, but if I were producing the show, I'd have the non-elimination leg in the first hour, since the elimination is more dramatic.  If so, then they are in South Africa first (that's where the cooling tower is, right?). 

Not sure if anyone has posted information about caves near Johannesburg, but there are some in Kruger National Park:

Strekfontein Caves

Lying west of Johannesburg, these caves are one of the world heritage sites. They are one of the richest and most productive paleoanthropological sites in the world.

The thing is, all the previews seem to come from a single leg.
I think the first leg is  somewhere else altogether (possibly Europe?). I've got the feeling that the leg ends in Botswanna. Which would mean the next single episode would be all in Botswanna.

Is it possible the brother's accident is at the end of the second leg?

Ah, so many questions. ]-{

Regarding the safety of South Africa, car hijacking/armed robbery is very common in some parts of the country and places of Transportation gets very dangerous at night especially in Jo'Burg. The country was filled with violence but is now starting to sort things out and give out rules that forbids certain things from happening.

And about a possible begging law in South Africa, I just checked and there seems to be NO straight-forward law that says people cannot beg in the country. Besides, I don't think the Producers will place a non-elimination that will force teams to beg in a country where you CANNOT beg, a la Hungary.

Nice vidcaps S1mone..everyone accounted for LEG 6 except for Meredith & Gretchen /Lynn & Alex as far as I can tell ( I think #211 is when Lynn& Alex come to B&G's jeep wreck) .They must be hiding these teams from the Leg6 vidcaps to make us think that that round Leg5 was an elimination  ]][

feeding the Lions Romber/ Deana&Ray/ Uchenna & Joyce/ Ron & Kelly / Brian & Gregg
fwiw~
This Audio of Ray & Deana are  recycled from EP5 ( strange how the original CBS preview was edited ..originally Deana& Rays walk over the cooling towers were in the promo ..then it changed to extra clips of the Bro's rolling their jeep }1{ )
VO: will a fear of heights
Deana: Ray I can't do this ( Gaucho Roadblock )
VO: lead to the fall of the dating couple?
Ray : we made a big mistake

Theres no doubt in my mind that Deana does not quits the FF so whoever the other team is that goes for it misses out.

Nice find with the Lion Park, puddin. I'm just hoping that they are hiding Merideth and Gretchen to make us think that they do not recover from Gretchen's injury and is eliminated in leg 5.

In my perfect world, leg 5 would be the non-elimination (with the new twist).

Post by: gingerman28 on March 27, 2005, 03:04:40 PM
I do  believe that that is Brian driving. In the earlier shot (although it has been edited in the preview to look like one continuous sequence) he is wearing a dark blue shirt with sleves coming to his mid-arm. He is wearing a bead bracelet around the left wrist. In the actual crash scene he is wearing a white sleveless shirt but he still has the bead bracelet around his left wrist. It looks like they spend at least two days on safari in Botswana and drive their Land Rovers from place to place. They could spend the night at a safari camp as they have done before without it being a pit stop.

The biplane sequence at the beginning of the sequence which ends with the plane flying over two teams running in the road is seen flying over a large stone Aardvark statue which has been identified as being in Gweta, Botswana. This town is the gateway to several nature preserves including Maksadikgadi Pans Nature Park, and Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Both places have ostrichs on the loose.

Question: Does the yellow biplane have any signifance? Is it part of some task? Or is it just recreating one of Alfred Hitchcoks most famous scenes? It sure looks like it is coming in low over the teams on purpose.

Another thing that has not been commented on. In one scene Brian is shown throwing a spear and he is wearing the same shirt as seen in the first Land Rover driving squence. So this looks like the first day in Botswana and probably is a Roadblock or Detour task using native weapons such as the spear in which he has to hit the moving sandbag. Similar to the event in Norway using Viking weapons.

My first thought was that the bi-plane was being used by a film crew to get some overhead shots, and some good animal shots.

(http://i136.exs.cx/img136/2857/tar7ep05046kelly6cb8fa.th.jpg) There are holes in those sleeves. Merideth and Gretchen I know are supposed to wear as much clothes that are colored powder blue so that the Camera men can spot them easily but Ron and Kelly also have similar long sleeved shirts that matches this color more than Gretchen's and Merideth's.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Dreamer_/The%20Amazing%20Race%207/episode5tv2/tar7326tv17.jpg) Is it me or is someone else crawling there with her (assuming its Gretchen). I always thought it was the Roadblock in South Africa but it can also be the Detour..

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Dreamer_/The%20Amazing%20Race%207/episode5tv2/tar7326tv34.jpg) Call me crazy but I see three people and a dead ostrich  {l{  Maybe its because I'm really tired and sleepy

Lowered by ropes or through that entrance (?) ? Excuse me if I don't make any sense.


And by the way, the Aardvark is in Gweta (we all know that) and Gweta is the main stop for tourists before they head into MAKGADIKGADI PANS NAT PARK filled with all kinds of animals that attracts the lions to it. I've read somewhere that some tourists are allowed to feed lions there but I'm not sure if this is the park/game reserve the Race visits.

Just a thought Possable Pitstop , I'm not saying it is ..just a maybe ? Planet Baobab?
Gweta~
Planet Baobab is situated on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, 5km (3.1 miles) from Gweta on the Francistown side of the turn-off and on the Francistown-Maun road. The Planet Baobab camp is accessible all year round by two 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. There is an airstrip nearby (Gweta) which can be used for a 45 minute air transfer from Maun. Planet Baobab is 9 hours from Johannesburg, 4 hours from Kasane and 2 hours from Maun.

Planet Baobab is located close to the village of Gweta, (also charmingly known as ' The Place of the Bullfrogs'), on the Francistown-Maun road and sheltered by a grove of gigantic baobabs.

Q: What was the longest race?

A: Race 5 — almost 75,000 miles. That is the equivalent of going around the equator three times. As for Race 7 (currently airing on CBS on Tuesday nights), I can't say. There are some surprises ahead.

Can it be a possible clue on how the race is going to go? It shines some light to England and Turkey being visited after the Oriental Country. I also heard that the Producers are sick of using Hawaii as the entry point to the USA.

Don't mind me...  B:)

If Gweta, Botswana is nine hours by car from Johannesburg, that is a long way to have inexperienced people drive. Could it be that they fly? Gweta does have an airport. Would be a wonderful flight by biplane if they can fly that far.

If this is the Lion Park near JBurg, each Land Rover has three rows of seats with metal handrails inbetween. We have two Land Rovers headed down the dirt road. In one we have Ron (and Kelly beside him off camera) Greg (with Brian off Camera) and I think it looks more like Joyce with Uchenna beside her. If as we suspect that Ray and Kelly complete the Fast Forward, I do not believe they would be in the Land Rovers going on to the Lion Park where we will have either a Detour or Roadblock task. When we have shot of Uchenna feeding the animals, I think that is Ron behind him and not Rob.

Post by: gingerman28 on March 28, 2005, 03:17:00 PM
This really seems to get harder and harder each ep and especially with two eps running back to back it is hard to distinguish what happens in South Africa and what happens in Botswana.

But lets start with a real, way out, off the chart speculation since absolutely nothing in the previews or promos indicate that this could or would happen. But we still have those scenes of London in the opening and scenes in the openings have been pretty good indicators of where the teams are headed. And we have had a lot of speculation of when they might go to London - after India which seems to be next?  The teams will be leaving the pit stop at the Polo Club La Martina in Buenos Aires starting around or a little after midnight (Rob and Amber) and the last team will be leaving around 9:00AM (Meredith and Gretchen arrived way after sunset at 8:30PM) Perhaps they have to go find some landmark in BA which probably doesn't open until 8 or 9 so we have a good chance for the first bunchup here. At this landmark they are told to go to EZE (Buenos Aires International airport) and get on a plane to London (LHR). Lufthansa has a flight leaving at 11:30AM arriving in London the next morning at 8:10AM; and British Air has a flight leaving at 1:25PM which arrives in London the next morning at 7:00AM. Again a typical last arriving first event which the producers love. The teams then have almost all day to race around London doing events which we have no idea what may entail but they could be Roadblock tasks or Detour tasks or both. At the end of the day we have direct flights from London to Johannesburg: British Air leaving at 5:50PM and arriving the next morning at 6:45AM or South African Airlines leaving at 6:00PM and arriving at 7:05AM They then start their tasks in Johannesburg.

As I said there has been not one clue put out that this might happen, but it could. It gives the teams a day in London and have them arrive only a day later in Johannesburg. Something else which might fit this scenario is that Phil appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly to promote his new book while TAR7 was off running in the field. I can't find the exact date he appeared but I think it was either at the end of November or the first week in December. Since there is no pitstop in London he would not be needed and could have come to New York from BA on the way to JBurg. Just a wild, wild idea.

So back to perhaps more of a reality.  The teams leave the Polo Club between Midnight and 9 or 10AM. They could go directly to the International Airport and arrange flights to JBurg. We have a flight leaving on Airleanes Argentinas at 10:50AM which connects through Sao Paulo, Brazil and arrives in JBurg the next morning on SA Flight 206 at 6:55AM and another flight on Varig via Sao Paulo leaving at 2:45PM but also connects with SA206 arriving also at 6:55AM.

Let's speculate that the first day in South Africa includes the Fast Forward which is the walk over the top of the inert cooling towers in Soweto. Ray and Deana are shown doing it. A second team, perhaps Ray and Kelly, also race for it but are beaten out so have to retreat and do the Roadblock which is the cave crawl.We have seen Uchenna and Kelly and  Gretchen who is injured here and Meredith who was waiting on the outside is allowed to enter to help her. There are caves in Gold Reef near JBurg and the Strekfontein Caves which are reknown for the fossils and ancient finds (some 13 million or so years old). The Teams are then spotted, at least six of them are, in two enclosed Land Rovers headed for Lion Park. Each LR seats six persons (three teams) The one vehicle we see into has from front to back Ron (and Kelly off camera); Greg (and Brian) and Uchenna and Joyce.  If Ray and Deana did the FF, then the other vehicle holds; Meredith and Gretchen; Rob and Amber; Alex and Lynn (now that would be a happy group!!)

When we reach the Lion Park the Detour is either Hunt or Feed. In Hunt the teams must throw spears and hit a moving target. Each team member has to hit it so many times or move on to another event in order. In feed the teams must find enough meat to satisfy the hungar of x number of lions. Both tasks have their pros and cons (oh, heck you know the routine). From there they are off for the pit stop most likely back somewhere in the safety of JBurg for the night. And this is the first of three pre-arranged Non Elimination Legs. We expect that Ray and Deana are first having completed the FF. Who is last?  Could be Meredith and Gretchen who have been running late of late.

After the completion of the first leg, in the second hour we start off with Leg 6. And as is usual we have a massive bunchup at the airport for a flight to Gaborone or Gweta (where we spotted the large, stone Aardvark.)This is where Ray's remark of making a big mistake when he finds out he has gained nothing since EP5 was a NEL and they are all bunched up at the airport the next morning.  Gweta is about nine hours drive from JBurg and I doubt that they would drive, but they may drive and do a task or two and then stop for an overnight in some Safari camp (not a pit stop)  One task may be finding stuff to take to some orphanage. Another task may involve a bi-plane ride (Roadblock) or something connected with the planes. The Land Rovers seem to be off and running across the plains of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park or the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, both of which are nearby. This part is not too clear but we do see both Uchenna and Joyce in different shirts; and Brian is now wearing a white sleveless shirt instead of the dark blue one he had on earlier. And most of the footage shown from Botswana deals with the brothers Brian and Greg and the Ostrich! The editors have taken various scenes of Brian driving but in some he is wearing a blue short sleeved shirt and in the other (actual crash scene) he is wearing a white sleeveless shirt.But in both cases you can determine that he has the same bead bracelet around his left wrist. After the crash it is not clear whether a fourth person is lying on the ground who is wearing a dark shirt and short white shorts or is it just possibly the Ostrich which has been hit and lies dying on the ground?  If this is the case I wonder what kind of deep dodo the producers or Brian are in since I expect there are all kinds of regulations dealing with the killing of protected wild animals in a game reserve.

But we have nothing more to go on to determine what is the eventual outcome of all of this.  Perhaps since the brothers have crashed, they must wait for a replacement vehicle and this puts them way, way behind just as Bola was. But he was saved by the "to be continued" but in this case I think that the pit stop is the final blow and the Brothers may just have been eliminated.

One strange note: throughout the previews and promos there is not one single frame of our beloved engaged couple. Playing it low key or are they once again so far ahead that the producers are keeping it in the dark to keep up the suspense. We will know tomorrow.

So that, fellow spoilers, is that. Not much to go on, but in rereading this, I really like my idea of jumping to South Africa via London!

Nice possibilities Gingerman but as much as I force myself to think that there is a chance that the Teams will stop by at London before heading to South Africa, its just not happening for me because thats a lot of traveling for one leg. I see them visiting London later on.

Phil has been dropping a lot of hints in his interview regarding this race. He said that the teams hated the new NEL twist they had for them and that there will be suprises with the mileage of this season's race. So now I'm thinking more of, Starting Line-> South America-> South Africa/Botswana-> India-> Oriental Country-> Turkey-> London-> Jamaica-> Puerto Rico to Finish Line.

Anyways, about tomorrow's two hour episode. This is what I think will happen... (pure speculation)

-Rob and Amber depart from the Polo Club in First place (around midnight)
-Clue tells them to go to a Landmark/Famous Area in Tigre or nearby place
-Place is close until the departure time of the last team
-Last team departs (Merideth and Gretchen, around 9-10 am), Landmark/Famous Area opens for the waiting teams there
-Clue tells them to travel by train to Buenos Aires and book flights to Johannesburg, South Africa in Ezeiza International Airport. Once there, travel to Gold Reef city
-The teams head to Buenos Aires all in the same train
-Merideth and Gretchen reaches the Landmark/Famous Area in last place and jumps in a train to Buenos Aires
-The teams book tickets in the fastest flight to Jo'burg, everyone gets on the same flight and wonders if Merideth and Gretchen could make it
-Merideth adn Gretchen misses the flight by minutes and gets a later flight that is behind but not more than thirty minutes
-Teams arrive in Jo-Burg, gets their clue somewhere and, go figure, here is the first Fast Forward of the race
-First team (Ray and Deana) to reach the cluebox chooses to attempt the Fast Forward
Another team that arrives at the cluebox later doesn't know that someone else decided to go for it
-The two teams going for the Fast Forward heads to the Cooling Tower in Soweto while the other teams head for Gold Reef City for the Roadblock
-Merideth and Gretchen arrives and heads to the Roadblock
-Ray and Deana arrives at the Cooling Tower first and starts the Fast Forward, second team arrives at the Cooling Tower (probably Ron and Kelly)
-Other teams reach Gold Reef city and starts on the Cave/Mine Roadblock
-Teams finish the Roadblock and heads to another place for the detour
-Ron and Kelly are forced to return to the Roadblock area because Ray and Deana got the Fast Forward before them
-Ray and Deana heads to the Pit Stop and "clocks in"
-Merideth and Gretchen arrives at the Roadblock area, Gretchen decides to do the Roadblock
-Ron and Kelly arrives at the Roadblock area, Kelly chooses to do it
-Gretchen finishes the Roadblock and is returning
-Gretchen: Merideth!
-Merideth: Come this way!
-Gretchen falls down and injures herself while returning, Kelly hears this and reacts
-Merideth who is waiting somewhere in the safer part of the cave/mine heads in and sees Gretchen crawling out of hole (freaky)
-Gretchen is rescued, everything is fine but she needs to get a facelift first, oh I mean, her wound needs to get cleaned and covered up
-Kelly finishes the Roadblock and leaves for the Detour
-Other teams start finishing the Detour and starts heading to the Pit Stop to "clock in"
-Merideth and Gretchen lost time but starts to make their way to the Detour
-Ron and Kelly arrive at the Detour Area
-Merideth and Gretchen arrives at the Detour Area
-Ron and Kelly finishes and clocks in
-Merideth and Gretchen finishes and is greeted by another weird local
-There are saved by a non-elimination, Gretchen pulls out that loud moan: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!, that I have fallen in love with
-Phil introduces the new twist

the end of leg 5...


 B:) Blah blah blah.. sorry about my pointless post. What probably adds to the reason why they compiled both legs into one episode is because of that new twist. To properly introduce it to the viewers. Well whatever, I'm done talking.

Thanks for clarifying leg 5; we have the same outline but yours is clearer.  One point about your race itinerary. TAR has always been touted as as "race around the world" so your itinerary would only take them 3/4 around world and then back again so the total milegage would mount up.

I just can't see how the cave can be a Roadblock? Gretchen has fallen through a hole in the cave .. she screams for help . We see Meredith coming towards her ..noone else , flashes of Kelly & Ucheena ,arrives before Meredith as far as I can tell  . Now how does he arrive before the crew or the guides ? Does he take the time to borrow a jumpsuit and a head lamp / whatever and rush to her side before other people/teams / guides / that may be closer? I just don't see it that way ?  </]

Thanks you both, I was just really bored and was temporarily banned from another forum, lol. I was wondering about that too puddin, and it being a Detour makes a hell of a lot more sense because Merideth is shown there. I'll edit more tomorrow...

Just to clear a few things up .. I was wrong about the Ostrich being the cause of the accident , the Bro's were speeding they didn't hit the Ostrich , it was their own fault. Someone was hurt , not one of the Bro's someone else , the accident was bad and someone goes to the hospital but we don't see it . One team  saw the Bro's accident and just kept driving , another team stopped to help but waved the other teams by ,there was no point of the other teams stopping too.

Wow, that's a lot of info, where was it clarified puddin?
Silly me, thinking they ran over an ostrich  ^/^

Anyways, they only get a replacement vehicle if the breakdown of their current vehicle wasn't their fault (like the boats). So if the Brothers were the ones to blame with the accident, and injure a camera man/crew member, they could be in real trouble. I see them getting another vehicle but having to accept a penalty before getting it.

Being shown in the previews is a good thing but not when you're all bloody and your car turns over. Even though Gretchen and the Brothers were shown in the previews during a really bad situation I think both teams will be safe next week (wait, TONIGHT) and it is another team that will get the boot and be Philiminated.

About the Cave Roadblock/Detour, here are things that leads me to think that it is a Detour/Roadblock:

Roadblock:
- Convo between Merry and Grouchy before Grouchy falls. Grouchy: Merideth! , Merry: Come this way! , *Grouchy falls*. The way I see it, Gretchen was the one who did the Roadblock, finished it, and was returning to where their teamates were (also in the cave). Merideth was just giving her directions.
- Kelly is shown in the caves
- Uchenna is shown in the caves
- Gretchen (?) is shown crawling through a packed space, I would think that Merideth would have been there if it was that small of a place
- Teams cannot be more than twenty feet apart
- Uchenna/Kelly/Gretchen are shown in the DARK with some sort of night-vision camera, Merideth is shown somewhere with light (probably camera light) leading me to think that the teams had to GO IN THE CAVE before getting the Roadblock clue. The people doing the Roadblock must then do in DEEPER while the other people wait in a safer part of the cave where the crew is able to put their cameras in and their lights

If the last reason for the challenge to be a Roadblock is true, they might enter here:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Dreamer_/The%20Amazing%20Race%207/episode5tv2/tar7326tv25.jpg)
while the Roadblock-doers enter by means of this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Dreamer_/The%20Amazing%20Race%207/episode5tv2/tar7326tv13.jpg)

Detour:
- Merideth's suit-thing is dirty leading me to think that he has been down there for a while
- Merideth reaches Gretchen BEFORE the crew does. Weird because if I was a camera man I'd stop filming if a Grandma falls down a cave. I'd also call the other people to tell them
- Its very possible that Ron and Joyce were with Kelly and Uchenna but was not shown to confuse people

This is what I will think will happen.

First hour:

FF: Ray & Deana and maybe Meredith & Gretchen (not sure how two teams will try to get the FF at the same time, but Ray has already crossed to the other side, waiting for Deana)

Detour: Should be the cave task

Road Block: Not shown

Second Hour:

Detour will come first: Feeding meat to lions

Then accident of Brian & Greg. Lynn & Alex stop to help.

Roadblock: Shooting of spears.

Yield should also be in second hour, as it should appear in Leg 3, 6 and 9.

Yes, they are the ones departing first but most of us believe that there will be major bunching up at the Airport forcing them to lose their lead over some of the teams.
When the teams arrive at Jo'Brug, South Africa. It is possible that they get beaten to it and Rob wouldn't be stupid enough to try to go for it when he knows two other teams want to attempt it.

Just speculation..

The spear throwing event which x_kicks has as the roadblock AFTER the crash of the Land Rover is not possible since in the spear throwing Brian is wearing his blue short sleeved shirt while in the final crash scene he is wearing white sleeveless shirt. The spear throwing may be part of the Detour which has FEED the lions or HUNT the linons as the two tasks.

An Accident Heats Up 'The Amazing Race'

March 29, 2005
As "The Amazing Race 7" heats up with four teams eliminated and only six remaining to claim the big prize money, CBS airs an action-packed, two-hour episode of the reality series tonight, 9-11 p.m.

"Survivor: All Stars" winners AMBER and ROB finished last week's episode in first place. The couple has really kicked the game up a notch as Rob shows his gamesmanship, manipulating his way through a variety of challenges, added to which the duo seems to be really lucky when they stumble onto one of their destinations, helping vault them into first place.

Their fellow competitors are none too happy that they are still around. It became quite obvious last Tuesday that LYNN is not one of their fans, when he commented, "The bottom line, they're kind of like an STD. You've got to protect yourself from them, and the only way you can do it is just keep yourself away from them."

This week the race takes the teams to South Africa for a cave climbing challenge, one of the most dangerous events to date. And one of the contestants pays the price, taking a tumble. It looks like it might be GRETCHEN, who comes up covered in blood.

Then two teams race for the first Fast Forward of game seven in a competition that measures both their balance and their fear of heights.

Also, the racers visit a local orphanage in an emotional journey that may be the cause for one team getting into a serious Jeep accident. Will it keep the racers from reaching the Pit Stop?

For a sneak peek at Tuesday's two-hour "Amazing Race 7," tune in to tonight's ET.

Remaining Racers:

RAY/DEANA Dating On And Off
LYNN/ALEX Boyfriends
UCHENNA/JOYCE Married
RON/KELLY Dating
ROB/AMBER Engaged
MEREDITH/GRETCHEN Retired Couple
BRIAN/GREG Brothers

The spear throwing may be part of the Detour which has FEED the lions or HUNT the linons as the two tasks.

Actually, I have thought of that point. The white shirt guy should not be Brian. The white shirt guy seems to be seated on the left hand side of the jeep, so it should be one of the crew member. So the detour, roadblock and the accident happen all in the same day.

It is Brian driving with the while shirt. In one shot you can see his left hand on the wheel and he has the same bead bracelet around his left wrist.

Google has finally come through for me.  Phil Keoghan was on LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY live on Friday, DECEMBER 3, 2004. How does this fit into our South Africa schedule?

Well, Phil could come back to New-York from just about anywhere in a 36 hour pitstop + 3 day leg.  If south africa's first, then december 3 is would fall during the botwanna leg which is rumoured to be 3 days.

He could do a turnaround from Joburg to NYC in that amount of time.
