chevy (http://www.outsports.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=5497&view=findpost&p=312439) posted on posts on Dec 16th( was on Guam for business this week ):I heard about the Amazing Race All Stars. As it turns out that I was on Guam for business this week and got to see a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges. For the sake of integrity, I won't mention what teams I saw but I did get to see them do the road blocks. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes part of it all just for a few minutes of footage. They did their competition on the AF base there and it was pretty cool. We were not allowed to take pictures for obvious reasons. I can't wait to see the episodes air in Feb to see how it turns out.

You will be surprised on who the final 4 will be. I had the opportunity to see all 4 teams in action during a stop in Guam in Dec. IT was very interesting to see what goes behind the filming. It will be interesting to see what actually makes it on TV. They probably filmed for a couple of hours to get just a few minutes of final footage. When the epsiode airs, I will give you more of my take on the "realism" of the tasks accomplished

Amazing Race Visits Guam
PNC Staff Reporter 16.DEC.06
10:22am Look out for a Guam stop in next season’s “The Amazing Race”. Guam was paid a visit by competitors of that reality TV show.
Guam was apparently a stop, and competitors were on Andersen Air Force, being filmed. The Pacific News Center contacted Air Force Officials, who confirmed the film crew was on base, but could not comment any further.

Oswald/Danny were wearing the same clothes when they were in the KL airport. [/random]
Northern Guam has a higher population density than Southern Guam, so if this shot is from N. Guam, it would have to be taken somewhere where no one lives within, I'm guestimating a mile near a mountain. Could the picture most likely have been taken near a beach? I know that to access some of the remote beaches here on island, you have to go down a slopy road (the one going to Tanguisson beach near Two Lover's Point is a zigzag road), so most likely you would see a hill/mountain near the beach.
There is a beach at AAFB (as Gman pointed out in another thread) called Tarague beach. The picture could be from there, but I don't know. Or maybe Ritidian beach, which is on the northernmost point of Guam. Any resemblance with this huge limestone rock from that place?
Okay so since I've said that N. Guam is more populated than S. Guam, it could be that the picture is from S. Guam instead, and not necessarily near the beach. S. Guam has a lot of mountains; maybe mountain ranges is a better term, or maybe hills (compared to, I guess, what you guys have seen). The highest mountain of Guam is Mt. Lamlam, standing at 1334 ft. There are smaller ones near it, and the picture could be from any one of those. How about Mount Sasalåguan, near Inarajan?
This Saturday, I have some time to spare, so I guess I'll go to S. Guam, because I'm somehow certain that the picture of the Cha's confessional is from there. Oh, and I'll print out the picture too, and show it to some people there, cause they might tell me that they indeed saw the teams doing tasks there. :happy:
Somehow it'll be a bit hilarious for me if the pit stop happened to be in a ranch.

Or, as peach suggested, the chopper could be a MH-60S Knighthawk (http://www.sikorsky.com/details/1,,CLI1_DIV69_ETI848,00.html) used on Guam by the Helicopter Combat Support (HC) Squadron 5 (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/navy/hc-5.htm) (now called Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron TWO FIVE [HSC-25] ) . They do a lot of "vertical lifting".

That seems like a great lead!
Could you point me in the right direction for your pics of the MT please? For some reason, I'm thinking there is some airplane love going on here! :lol:
Hakekushu8--any luck in your explorings today?
Okay--looks like Mt. F is in the southwest--pretty far away from AAFB.
Headcrusher--they would have been doing tasks on 12/15.
Post by: hakushu8 on April 22, 2007, 02:02:59 AM
So if you guys were to ask me where the Cha's confessional could have been, here are my picks:
- Country Club of the Pacific (http://www.ccpguam.com/) - a golf course in Yona. I didn't get to go in, but I saw the same mountain contour that was in the background of the Cha's confessional. An aerial image here. (http://mpwarner.smugmug.com/gallery/2315538#125056688-L-LB)
- Talofofo Falls Park - accessed via Inarajan. Now I'm just guessing for this one. I didn't get to go in. (Expensive fee for a few minutes of perusing... no thank you! ;D) I'm not sure if the same mountain contour is present in there, but yeah, just putting this here. An aerial image of the falls. (http://mpwarner.smugmug.com/gallery/2315538#125054726-L-LB)
- War in the Pacific National Historical Park (http://www.nps.gov/wapa/) - also known as Asan Beach Park in Asan, Guam. I lucked out with this one. See, I was only supposed to explore the southeastern part of Guam. But I went through Rt.17, and I didn't know it connected S.E and S.W Guam. :lol: So from Rt.17, I got to Rt.1 - Marine Corps. Drive, heading back home north. I glanced to the left, and I think I saw the same mountain contour (well, it's not really a mountain here) as in the Cha's confessional. I should have had stopped by and really check it out, but I didn't, and I think it was really something worthy to check out. Anyways, I think I could do it on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, here's a link to a picture of the rock, I think. Asan Beach Park rock? (http://www.npswapa.org/gallery/AMME-waysides/100_1542)
Sorry I couldn't post the pics directly here. Copyright issues.

Don't worry about the pics--I'm learning about that too! :lol:
Is that Mt Finansata mentioned above a possibility in your mind?

Nice picture headcrusher :tup:
Dec 15th/16th in the States is when they were in Guam
hakushu would know the weather better than any of us but this is what I dug up ...
I'm unsure but I think it was sunny. I was sick that day because of the intermittent rainfall earlier that week; same as in Hong Kong and Macau!. Oh, and it was also my finals, so I guess stress was a factor. [/rantdom]
I don't know about Mt. Finansanta, peach. If you look at the picture headcrusher has provided, there's a back mountain and a front mountain. Yeah, the area is quite mountainous, and I don't think there's any place in that area that is similar to the one found in the Cha's confessional picture, wherein the mountain has that slope going down to a flat area.

Pilot? Photographer? Both?
Both...sorta. Student pilot, amateur photographer (better than being an amateur pilot and a student photographer I guess)
One thing that's bugging me about Mt. Finansanta. The hiking site I found that picture at says it's a 6 hour, difficult, hike to the summit. Would TPTB really set up a pit stop in rough terrain like that??

If C/M have such a huge lead then why does the light at the confessionals that aired at the end of episode 11 all look about the same?
The same way all confessionals in HK were at night and not all got to the pit stop at night. And they dont have that huge of a lead, lol, it was only a few hours and given their track record who knows if they even keep that lead!

The aircraft sitting on the ramp is a Boeing C-17 Globemaster the aircraft taking off is a B-52. I can also assure you that C/M are sitting inside of a C-17.
You beat me to it. Certainly are the aircraft you mention. The old B-52 is still flying and is older than most of the crew on board!
Post by: Chateau d If on April 22, 2007, 09:52:21 PM
This shot was taken either between 10:36 and 10:53 am or 1:37 and 1:54 pm (assumes December 15th).
Clarification of the AM vs PM may follow but it's time to watch the show here.

From apskip way back on 3/7/07:
Quote
12. Macau 12/14 to Hong Kong to Guam
Teams should take the hydrofoil back to Hong Kong since the International Airport has superior flights to everywhere.
Flight options start at 1010 with JAL730 to NRT 1010 to 1500, then CO007 NRT to GUM 1715 to 1950 and end with the most direct routing of CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440. There are about 10 other combinations in between.

1. I say either Dustin & Kandice or Charla & Mirna for the Patriotism. And I say Danielle for the fear of losing for her team.
2. Is obviously something about Danny & Oswald.
3. Charla & Mirna are probably telling the pilot rapido, rapido.

I agree with Chateau that that line thing over Dustin/Kandice's horizon is the Pacific Ocean... It could be the Philippine Sea, because I'm thinking that the Pit Stop is still in the War of the Pacific National Historical Park. I'll check on Wednesday.
Anyways, I'm a bit annoyed that they did the Detour and Roadblock in the bases. There's other places here where they could at least the Detour. :-\
Post by: Chateau d If on April 23, 2007, 01:55:38 AM
I was looking for rocky stuff near the water.
It also has to be on the southwest of the island in order for the Chas confessional shot to be end of day with sun coming from their left rear.
The first frame here is tilted and looking south to get the same look as the Cha shot.
The next frames are looking straight down on the area and zooming out to show where it is.

And I can't remember after all these years, is there a jungle warfare training site at the Naval base. Marines perhaps? Or am I thinking of Saipan which we filmed at during the same trip back in '81?
Post by: hakushu8 on April 23, 2007, 09:39:51 AM
See the peninsula I've indicated as Adelup in picture 1 up there? The Ricardo J. Bordallo Government Complex is there, and that area is part of Hagåtña, the capital.
Honestly, I was only guessing with picture 3. It might, or might not, belong in the Asan Beach area. It was just that the contour of the slope going down to the right side in that picture has some similarities to the contour of the hill/mountain behind the Chas in their confessional. ;D
Oh, and is this really the episode title? I'm confused. Someone at wikipedia wrote the ep11 title there, but I took it out cause I think he/she got it from here and I'm thinking puddin is only joking... ??? :lol:

Don't forget guys chevy said he saw the teams performing the RB at the AAFB and the Detour sure looks like AAFB so the pitstop/confessionals maybe nearby?

That "zero gravity" stuff makes me think of the Vomit Comet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomit_comet).
Okay I've been poking around both the naval base and the airforce base looking for anything to do with zero gravity flights.
The KC-135 Stratotanker is the plane used some years ago for zero-gravity flight training.
I eventually was able to place one of those at AAFB, but can find no mention of any zero-gravity training. Wonder if this is just exaggeration? They might get to do some kind of jet flight but...
And teletubbies? Possible reference to flight suits?
Darn it all--what use is it having an Admiral in the family if he's not around when you need him!
What is Danielle doing--some kind or orienteering/jungle training exercise?
I am going to give the girl some brownie points because she has definitely done the harder challenges for her team. I did wonder last week when Eric used what I think? was his last Roadblock if she shouldn't have done that one and left Eric for what was sure to be coming...

MEETING WITH GLENN WEBER AND MARIE LIZAMA
Glenn is expecting to become a local celebrity on Guam as soon as the relevant episode airs (usually within about 10 hours after U.S. East Coast due to time difference). He got a lot of camera time when the F3 teams booked their flights to Honolulu via Tokyo-Narita on the afternoon of Saturday Dec. 16. The previous day was a big day at Guam International Airport as Uchenna/Joyce, the Guidos and Danny/Oswald all departed with Phil on CO904 through Nagoya Japan to Honolulu. Glenn told me he got a brief opportuntiy to chat with Uchenna and Joyce. Dec. 16 had Glenn as the only NW individual on the 2 ticket counters, I believe by choice since he knew what would be happening. First up was Dustin/Kandice, who booked NW 81 mid-afternoon to Narita and NW10 from there to Honolulu. Charla/Mirna actually booked the same flights through Continental's ticket counter. Last was Eric/Danielle, who had run into a NW 747 pilot who convinced them to take the 20 minute later NW73 to Narita to get the comfort of the 747. After Dustin and Kandice heard about this, they decided to change their booking to do the same. The connect time to NW10 was still quite adedquate. Their production crew of cameraman and soundman just barely made it through customs with their equipment to get on the later flight.
TV cameras at the airport caused a great deal of interest from passengers and others at the airport on both days. Recently, the local CBS station on Guam has been showing short advertising clips of some of the local TAR11 action from military bases. Glenn has not been on with Andersen Air Force Base of the Naval Base, but recent info suggests that Andersen is where the action and filming took place. I had as a seatmate from Narita to Newark today a Naval person who was not aware of any rumors about TAR filiming at the Naval Station even though she was not there at the time.

And it nails down the day as well, very cool, though we had a very solid idea of the date (based on the Guam spoiler and the flight with the eliminated teams.
Post by: asamber1 on April 23, 2007, 10:24:07 PM
I could see Dustin passing Dee at the guam RB (due to her meltdown), but don't C/M have a big lead in Guam?
Personally i think Charla and Mirna should come in first. But they are terrible at keeping leads [Malaysia!]. And i have a question!! I believe there is a spoiler at some airport with "pushy blondes" where was that? Cause from it the impression i got was they were first at the counter and the teams behind them made fun of them. So if this was in Guam for the blondes to be first at the counter mean they were first to leave the pit stop?

That's what we were thinking asamber, but C/M booked their flight at a different ticket agent so they could very well be in first.

- Half the legs of this season would have been won by C/M or D/K (F/F teams)
- E/D will be the first team in the American version of TAR to have not won a previous leg and to win the finale. They'd be the second team into the F3 without a win under their belt (the first being Lyn and Karlyn last season).
P.S I know it's nothing but some random just wrote the order of finish at next week's pitstop on wikipedia (haha reliable) as C/M first, E/D 2nd, Chas 3rd and D/K last. Obviously they haven't been following the spoilers.
P.P.S Poor Dani.

I just did a search on NWA for SAturady flights out of Guam (I did this for the future assuming saturday flights in the past few months haven't changed much)
These are the only two flights out of Guam that came up:
NW81
3:45pm Depart Guam (GUM)
6:40pm Arrive Tokyo (NRT)
Aircraft 757-200
AND
NW73
4:15pm Depart Guam (GUM)
7:00pm Arrive Tokyo (NRT)
Aircraft 747-200
Both of the flights can leave at either of these two times out of NRT:
NW10
8:30pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
8:20am Arrive Honolulu/Oahu (HNL)
NW22
8:55pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
8:45am Arrive Honolulu/Oahu (HNL)
also the two flights above out of NRT were the only flights on NWA to Honolulu that popped up.
I did find these flights out of Guam as well but they were on weekdays.
CO6
12:00pm Depart Guam (GUM)
2:45pm Arrive Tokyo (NRT)
CO10
4:35pm Depart Guam (GUM)
7:15pm Arrive Tokyo (NRT)
Post by: anon1akacolby on April 24, 2007, 12:36:38 AM
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'd be happy to share what I know with you, and you can pass it on if you want.
A friend of mine was selected to be a driver for the teams that came to the naval base. The Beauty Queens were the first to arrive at the base, and this is who my friend drove. I believe they were the first to finish here as well. I have no idea whether all the teams came to the naval base or if they had the choice to go to the air force base. From the previews for next week, I'm pretty sure that Eric & Danielle also came to the naval base, and the Charla & Mirna were at the Air Force Base. The challenge on the Naval base involved a run through a jungle, and a short helicopter ride, I think. The challenge at the Air Force base, is part of a toy drop that Guam participates in every December, where they fly donated toys to nearby islands. I really have no idea how any of them did overall here. Hope this helps a little! "
I don't know if this helps at all. I am also going to write her back and see if she has any times.

mrspreacher, thanks, AND welcome to RFF! Everybody here is awesome and we have one of the greatest mods in the world (puddin)!
That is very interesting. Is anybody else beginning to think that the spoiler saying that Charla and Mirna had a huge lead might have been incorrect?

What wonderful information--thank you SO much for sharing! It has been hard to sort out exactly "who went where when" so this is a tremendous help and will give us lots to work on! :thankyou:
Would your contact have only driven the BQ's while on the Naval Base? If responsible for them the whole time, is it possible she would have taken them here? This is a location puzzle for us! Here is an email link you can send her (borrowed from puddin ;) ) http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/22Apr0036.jpg
And will we see her on TV next week?
Thanks so much again! And no more lurking--please stay and play! :gj:

It looks like Dani is holding a Roadblock clue based upon the red part of the clue that you can barely make out in this vidcap. So it looks like the search at the Navy base is the Roadblock. That leaves the christmas drop and the vomit comet tasks. Are those the Detour choices?

Okay--we have Charla, Oswald, and Dani for sure doing the Roadbock. What are they holding? A walkie talkie or a GPS?
Detour: teams in yellow have wet face masks and a big brush--cleaning a jet is probable. (Does Eric have a big moouthful of water in that one shot? :lol:)
Others: Christmas drop--we only see Ch/M--the other Detour?
Helicopter: I think this shot shows a military person guiding a team member out to the heli--(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/sub/00524-24-2007.jpg)
does only one person go? Does this have to do with the pallets we saw before dangling from the heli?
Is this Dustin?? (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/sub/00624-24-2007.jpg) Teletubbies?

puddin--have you tried to reach chevy again??
Post by: michael on April 24, 2007, 01:08:55 PM
I think we should (temporarily) discount foxburn's info for now, until we can analyze the preview a little more, or here from MrsPreachers friend what time Dustin and Kandice were at the Road Block, which I am assuming comes first in this leg.
Post by: puddin on April 24, 2007, 01:12:58 PM
What's with the PRE-confessional? D/K say in the video of them in our mystery field that it is either win or go home---I've been thinking that was the Pitstop confessional all along but sounds like when there are four teams still...umm I beleive the BQ's are talking about being in the final 3? and the Cha's are giving their goodbye confessional? Didn't we already decide that?
And I guess with MrsPreachers info and apskip's flight info it is safe to discount foxburn's info now? A huge Ch/M lead doesn't seem in the cards...

This one (short ride??Blackhawk?) which matches the original screencap (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/sub/00524-24-2007.jpg)
and the other screencap one with the pallet--or are they the same??
[attachment deleted by admin]
Post by: georgiapeach on April 24, 2007, 01:46:00 PM
It just sounded odd--either you win or you lose would suggest finale...if you win you all go home....
The other sounds like final 4 still to me which is why I asked. Up till I heard that I was totally convinced that all the in the "field of gold" shots were Pitstop confessionals--it just made me think.
Probably just thinking too much! :lol:
From earlier:
Quote
Okay I've been poking around both the naval base and the airforce base looking for anything to do with zero gravity flights.now i wonder if this refers to the helicopter and was just an exaggeration?
The KC-135 Stratotanker is the plane used some years ago for zero-gravity flight training.
I eventually was able to place one of those at AAFB, but can find no mention of any zero-gravity training. Wonder if this is just exaggeration? They might get to do some kind of jet flight but...
Patriotism could be any of them.
Feelings of sadness--I know many think it is Dani but I think it is Charla--I'll bet she is doubting her abilities to run after Mirna has put her down so much.
Go faster? Well I'd say Eric but he'll be on the ground --so Dustin?

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep12/sub/00264-24-2007.jpg)
The Chas leave the Guam airport at dawn, so there should be hours of operation in their first task... probably the one in AAFB. Although we don't really know how early chevy saw them doing something there.
And from apskip's flight info he posted long ago, would this be their flight itinerary?

...CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440...

"I don't know any specific times. It was morning I think, I remember her telling me that she and the other drivers went to lunch after they were done. My friend is a woman. I believe my friend drove them to one destination on base, dropped one girl off (sorry, I have no idea which one, she'd never watched the show before and didn't know who they were.) Then she drove the other girl to another place on base, picked the first girl up, and drove them back off of base. I think they were in rental cars. I have no idea if they did anything off of the base, they just needed drivers to be allowed on the base because they don't have military ID's. Hope this helps!!"

Well I'm just getting back to this. Not trying to play the devils advocate but I didn't think that the D/O shot at the War in the Pacific Park would be right at the pitstop. They wouldn't be picking up a clue that would say run to the pitstop which was just a few feet away ---- would they?????
I know that the road in the background would fit but am I missing something else here? ???
In Poland there was a clue at the Palace saying "search for the next pit stop in the palace grounds", so it can be another situation like that.
Post by: Chateau d If on April 24, 2007, 09:43:38 PM
This shot was taken between 8:08 and 8:18 am (assumes December 15th)
The time comes from solar altitude. So that means there could be a "4:17 pm" time that looks the same.
But, I was able to determine that the C-17s are parked in a certain part of the airbase and they always are pointed northeast or northwest.
The shadow goes from left to right (image is not inverted thanks to Mirna's watch on her left arm).
Given the parking arrangements of the C-17s, the only way that can happen is in the morning.

Chateau, thanks for all these times. Does it take you a long time to figure all of this stuff out?
Are we thinking the detour or RB comes first?
Post by: Chateau d If on April 24, 2007, 09:53:05 PM
The first time for a given location takes the longest. It's faster after that because I can use the same settings. But some of these shots are tricky and require additional research. Some get into 3D thinking and that's another matter. ;D
Post by: michael on April 24, 2007, 10:04:29 PM
C/M are seen at detour at 8:08 - 8 18 AM. There are other shots of them however that look like it is later on in the day, which means they can't have gone to the pit stop AFTER the detour:

Chateau, is there anyway you can tell the time on this shot of Charla, who is doing the RB I believe:

Those aircraft aren't the C-17's. They are C-5 Galaxy's. The nose of the aircraft is a giveaway, it sticks out a lot farther (it opens up for front cargo loading), than the C-17. The aircraft to the left of the C-5's is a KC-10 tanker, and the large aircraft on the other side of the base look like they're the B-52's. I actually don't see any C-17's in the google earth picture.

Pacific Daily News

Guam will get some national exposure next week when CBS's popular "The Amazing Race All-Stars" series airs an episode filmed on Guam last December.
The game show took contestants through various parts of Andersen Air Force Base and will have them trekking through the jungles around Orote Point on Naval Forces Marianas.
The show is scheduled to air on Guam at 9 p.m. Monday.
CBS has a preview of the show available on its Web site. According to the preview of episode 11, one team is "overcome with feelings of patriotism at the U.S. military bases on Guam."
"We are happy to be a part of a reality show, but more than just being an exotic location, we're happy to give the contestants and viewers a glimpse into the Air Force's global reach and power projection," said Sgt. Chris Powell, of AAFB's Public Affairs Office.
Buzz Cafe employee Mike Benito said he watches the adventure show on occasion. The 32-year-old believes many Guam residents, including those that don't normally follow the show, will tune in next week to watch how Guam is depicted.
He said he's a little concerned that the shows may have be only filmed on military bases and doesn't want people to get the idea that Guam is just one big base.
"That's the way a lot of people who don't know much about Guam think anyway
but I think overall (the show) is probably a good thing if they show the good things about the island," he said.
"It's good exposure because you rarely see anything about Guam on a nationwide level unless it has something to do with brown tree snakes."

It may be the airstrip we see Danielle on.

Can anyone help identify these two abandoned Guam airfields.
Correctly identified as Orote Field,the second photo shows the old Japanese single strip airfield after the U.S. forces had repaired and enlarged the field during WW2.
The last photo is Orote Point. I believe the airfield was of the same name. It is no longer in use and is part of the U.S. Naval Station Guam (or that's what they used to call it!).
And a 1945 picture of Orote Point airfield.
And from a military guide: re the brown tree snakes:
Quote
The jungle areas surrounding the bases seem to provide an ideal habitat for the snakes. This habitat appears to have the highest density of snakes near the port areas.
Poor racers...

Post by: hakushu8 on April 25, 2007, 08:44:35 AM
I'm guessing either the Route Info would tell them to go to the Roadblock, because the Naval Station is pretty near here, or they hike down from that Route Info to a place below for the pitstop. I saw a circular clearing from the overlook, which is odd for me for some reason, so there. I didn't have time to explore this area awhile ago because I only had a few minutes before class, but on Saturday I should be able to come back to the place, maybe with a camera and rope. :lol:
And also on Saturday I should be able to explore SW Guam, which I didn't go to last Saturday, and now I regret. The pitstop could be there if it's not at Asan, see. B:)
Hehe, I said I wouldn't be going to the Asan Bay Overlook awhile ago, but I did anyway. My initial reason for being in the Asan area awhile ago was to check if the Asan Beach Park was the pitstop, but no it wasn't. :groan:

Post by: gingerman28 on April 25, 2007, 11:41:03 AM
Probably a bunch point as teams head to AAFB but then have to wait for the base to open. We have Charla and Mirna doing what looks like half of a detour at 8:08AM to 8:18AM (Chateau's best calculation) The second detour task seems to be scrubbing down a large plane. A big question is do they actually make a flight to some near by island? That is going to eat up a lot of time.
Later on we do see all four teams doing the ROADBLOCK at Orote Point Airfield which is now part of the U. S. Naval Station Guam (find your way through the jungle and take a helicopter ride somewhere perhaps). We have individual shots of Danielle, Charla, Oswald and Dusitin following the GPS hand held device leading them somewhere.
Then it is on to the pit stop. D/O get Philiminated
Post by: michael on April 25, 2007, 11:48:01 AM
She said that D/K arrived first at the naval base, and that E/D came after them and that C/M went to the Air Force Base. That would make it appear to be a detour, since there are TWO locations that the teams are at - but she also said that her friend drove ONE team member to one area, and another team member to ANOTHER area, which makes it seem like a Road Block. Which task was her friend participating in?!
If it was the RB then I say E/D are ahead of C/M in this leg, because they came after the BQs and after the road block should be the pit stop. Charla's confessional shot also looks darker then E/D or D/K's..
(sorry for the B:) , I'm just trying to organize my thoughts! )
Post by: anon1akacolby on April 25, 2007, 01:35:43 PM
Her source mentioned seeing and driving the BQ's from the entrance of the naval base to wherever on the base they had to perform the task.
Mspreachers reference to Eric and Danielle and Charla and Mirna sounds like it was based upon what was shown in the previews. Meaning based upon what is seen, Eric and Danielle are shown at the Naval Base doing the search task and Charla and Mirna on the C-17 is at the Air Force base. I don't believe mspreacher was saying that E/D showed up next and that C/M went to the Air Force Base at the same time. it's confusing I know because had the same confusion. At least I think I am interpretting her info correctly.
MsPreachers info:
Quote
"I'd be happy to share what I know with you, and you can pass it on if you want.
A friend of mine was selected to be a driver for the teams that came to the naval base. The Beauty Queens were the first to arrive at the base, and this is who my friend drove. I believe they were the first to finish here as well. I have no idea whether all the teams came to the naval base or if they had the choice to go to the air force base. From the previews for next week, I'm pretty sure that Eric & Danielle also came to the naval base, and the Charla & Mirna were at the Air Force Base. The challenge on the Naval base involved a run through a jungle, and a short helicopter ride, I think. The challenge at the Air Force base, is part of a toy drop that Guam participates in every December, where they fly donated toys to nearby islands. I really have no idea how any of them did overall here. Hope this helps a little! "
I don't know if this helps at all. I am also going to write her back and see if she has any times.
"I don't know any specific times. It was morning I think, I remember her telling me that she and the other drivers went to lunch after they were done. My friend is a woman. I believe my friend drove them to one destination on base, dropped one girl off (sorry, I have no idea which one, she'd never watched the show before and didn't know who they were.) Then she drove the other girl to another place on base, picked the first girl up, and drove them back off of base. I think they were in rental cars. I have no idea if they did anything off of the base, they just needed drivers to be allowed on the base because they don't have military ID's. Hope this helps!!"

Maybe they finished the RB in the order that chevy provided via foxburns but with apskips info here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,11991.msg185677.html#msg185677) ..
( Remember we see the teams driving at some point in Guam and anything could happen, bad directions, car problems etc ..)
First up was Dustin/Kandice, who booked NW 81 mid-afternoon to Narita and NW10 from there to Honolulu. Charla/Mirna actually booked the same flights through Continental's ticket counter. Last was Eric/Danielle, who had run into a NW 747 pilot who convinced them to take the 20 minute later NW73 to Narita to get the comfort of the 747.
Most likely screnario at the Pitstop ( Unless theres something/task the teams have to do on the morning of DEC 16th before they can book flights)
BQ's
C/M or Cha's who wait out the MFE penalty
E/D or Cha's who wait out the MFE penalty
Cha's or E/D with Cha's going out on the MFE penalty
*I believe my friend drove them to one destination on (NAVAL)base, dropped one girl off. Then she drove the other girl to another place on base, picked the first girl up, and drove them back off of (NAVAL) base ( ROADBLOCK).

I double checked my flight info and need to change the originating flight and the time of the connecting flight for the first combination, which is the one all teams will logically take. I estimate that the earliest flight Dustin/Kandice could get would be 0500. Any of the following flights to Tokyo-Narita will work to arrive before 3pm:
NW2 departs 0830 arrives 1330
UA890 departs 0855 arrives 1415
CX504 departs 0910 arrives 1435
KA360 departs 0915 arrives 1445
NH912 departs 0940 arrives 1450
All the other teams should also be able to catch any of these flights.
In Narita, the connection is still to CO7, but the timing for that flight is depart 1550 and arrive Guam 2025. Presumably, there will then be hours of operation to again bunch the teams in case any made different flight arrangements and arrived later that night(up to 0440 was possible).

If you go to post 110 on pg 5 puddin has alreday don that :ninja

I had been working on it already. However, it looks like they are all shown sitting in a shaded area. Except for the Chas who get a little bit of sun on Danny's cap. That and a lot of guesstimating gives a time of 1:20 pm plus or minus an hour for their shot.
So my little summary is:
Teams arrive in Guam on the evening of the 14th.
Go find something.
Get clue to go to AAFB.
Drive there and have wait for Hours of Operation in the next morning (December 15th).
Detour to scrub stuff or air-drop stuff.
Drive to the Navel base (20 miles by crow).
Roadblock in the jungle
Find the Asan Lookout
Goto the pit stop (nearby the Asan Lookout)
Maybe the Asan Lookout is where they get the Roadblock instructions.

so I'm thinking the DETOUR that charla and mirna decide to do might screw them up, because it seems a lot longer then to scrub a plane.
thanks for the correction puddin!
Post by: puddin on April 25, 2007, 04:51:33 PM
So what chevy saw were maybe the detours not Roadblocks?
chevy posts:
*I heard about the Amazing Race All Stars. As it turns out that I was on Guam for business this week and
*got to see a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges.
*For the sake of integrity, I won't mention what teams I saw but I did get to see them do the road blocks.
*It was interesting to see the behind the scenes part of it all just for a few minutes of footage.
*They did their competition on the AF base there and it was pretty cool.
*We were not allowed to take pictures for obvious reasons.
*You will be surprised on who the final 4 will be. I had the opportunity to see all 4 teams in action during a stop in Guam in Dec.
*IT was very interesting to see what goes behind the filming. It will be interesting to see what actually makes it on TV.
*They probably filmed for a couple of hours to get just a few minutes of final footage.

Post by: puddin on April 25, 2007, 06:05:00 PM
Yeah, I think people say Roadblock for any TAR activity w/o knowing if it really is a Roadblock. The only reason we know it is because the show tells us, or we see red instruction sheets. I guess an onlooker could hear a team say "ROADBLOCK" but they would have to be at the right place at the right time...and we don't know if this is how they arrived at the Detours or finished OR if its even all true?
chevy info via foxburns:
Charla/Mirna were first with (again) a huge lead Eric/Danielle were next followed by...BQ's and...Cha Cha Chas's
ETA: If true then the X-Mas drop/C&M was the faster of the Detour options? Maybe Dustin just makes quick time of the RB, we know Danielle is having problems..I'll still go with the BQ's coming in first based on apskips info. A lot could happen too such as getting lost ( Oswald wonders if they are even going the right way ) or other car problems.

1. Dustin & Kandice :happy:
2. Charla & Mirna

4. Danny & Oswald - eliminated.
That also matches with the airport booking to Hawaii, with D/K booking first, C/M at a different counter, followed by Eric and Danielle. (thanks to apskips)

Which makes sense>>clue box==go somewhere else.
So what are we missing??
I have 3) quick thoughts...
1) We haven't yet accounted for the Zero gravity -- plane fly faster comment.
The only plane we have seen so far is the Xmas delivery one which doesn't look like anything to do with zero gravity.
And I don't think you can get zero gravity in a helicopter.
I placed a Stratotanker at AAFB but I think it may be a little farfetched to think they are going to do the classic zero-gravity vomit comet--but what then?
Some sort of fast drop jet loop thing?
Pilots help me out here please!
2) Could the short helicopter ride at the Naval Base/Roadblock be something to do with our pallet hanging from the helicopter screencap? Maybe they have to lower it, swing on it, what ever?
3) Could we go somewhere else to do something else?
I keep thinking of our slightly vague but there Magellan connection with this race, And the place where Magellan reportedly landed in Guam is called Umatac Bay--not all that far from the Naval Station.
Other things that look cool to do: Swimming with the dolphins, Talafofo Falls and gondola ride, caving with prehistoric drawings, --but we have seen no evidence for any of that.
Hopefully Phil's preview will give us a bit more to go on!

I just read Apskip's post.. so D/K and E/D have the same flight to Hawaii, which departs 20 mins later than C/M's? But why is the other flight safer? Is it likely that C/M miss a tight connecting flight and that's where they stuff up, while D/K and E/D pass them?? :groan:

I don't think it would take much to do a weightlessness task in a KC-135. Basically to get "weightlessness" the aircraft needs is to dive than climb, a parabolic flight path. It would probably take longer to get to altitude than to do the actual task.
I also don't think they'd be doing loops in the stratotanker anytime soon....I think the air force would like their aircraft back in one piece :js:
The only planes I can see them doing loops in are the fighters.
:ninja ....sorry I just love this icon.
Post by: georgiapeach on April 26, 2007, 01:08:31 AM
And red_sox--I got the idea it was all a comfort thing--nicer plane? more room? and that it didn't affect the flight arrivals all that much.
But that shot of Mirna looking at her watch at security makes me think there is some kind of delay.

If the source and the other drivers knew each other (probably did) then I'm sure when they went to lunch afterwards that they talked. Also, if the source was the first to enter the base with their team then that would let them know that their team was 1st. Same with 2nd, 3rd, or 4th based on what position they were in when they entered base. So if the last team to be picked up by a driver would be driver #4 as 3 other teams had used the 1st 3 drivers.

That's the cameltoe coming out in her. :o :rotf:
Chateau I've studied GE and many pictures until my eyes are blurry. It looks to me like when you are looking at the view you are facing due north. You come into the circle from the south end. But I'm sure you knew that already. FWIW, the overlook opens at 7 a.m. so that could also be the hours of operation (depending on your timestamp of course).
If the detour is first then all teams would be arriving at the AF base about the same time. Chevy's statement of C/M being way ahead would only make sense if they finished the detour first. As for the cleaning detour, it reminds of TAR 9 when they had to wash the trolleys in Moscow. That seemed to take alot longer than the teams expected. So if C/M do finish first then how could the BQ's be the first to arrive at the Roadblock? Something is either missing in between or????
I wouldn't put too much into the BQ's getting tickets first at NW because C/M could have easliy been earlier at the Continental counter.
It will be interesting to see if mrspreacher can come up with more team citings.

Well, puddin tried contacting the person who said C/M where ahead with a huge lead and never heard back...the sighting also could have been a route marker which C/M got to ahead of everybody else, but like always killed their lead..

Hi, red_sox. You are misreading what I wrote. The two flights 20 minutes apart are from Guam to Tokyo-Narita. Everybody is going to be on NW10 from Narita to Honolulu. It's possible that Charla and Mirna's NW81 could have some sort of trouble and arrive too late in Narita to make the connection, but I consider that very unlikely.
On the safer question, I believe that the teams on NW73 selected it for the extra comfort of a 747 aircraft. It is not a safety thing for sure, since their connect tiem in Narita is 20 minutes less than Charla/Mirna due to the flight times being the same.

There is a shot of Dustin posted together with the other three teams doing the Roadblock (Charla, Danielle and Oswald) and it looks like in this shot Dustin is being strapped into some kind of equipment (not the vest that the other three are wearing while trapsing around with the GPS thing in their hands) This looks very much like a military type strapping her into a parachute harness. If I remember correctly this was SOP if you were about to ride in an open-door helicopter on Guam. My cameraman and I had to don such equipement when we flew by chopper all over Guam. Of course we were actually sitting on the edge of the door with our feet hanging over onto the landing skid! So if things have not changed in 20 years, Dustin is about to take off on the chopper part of the Roadblock after completing the GPS part.
I was kind of wondering if they would helicopter them to somewhere first and drop them off -- then they would have to use the GPS to find their way back. That would be cool.

I can't see anyone calling a Boeing 747 "a more comfortable" plane. UNLESS, that is, you are travelling in Business or First Class. Economy or cattle class on a 747 is a crowded, knee crunching, 3-5-3 seating coffin. Especially on a Northwest flight. Believe me, I have been there, done that.
gman, I've been thinking the same thing. The seats width and pitch are basically the same for economy on both aircraft so there is no additional room for comfort. As you stated, the middle seats in economy are the worst. unless they were alluding the creature comforts such as IFE (in flight entertainment) but economy is economy so I can't see them being that much different. now if the 747 was newly modified or a newly acquired airplane (however, I don't think NWA has bought any new airplanes lately - I work in the aircraft making business so I know a little something about this. ;) ) then the the aircraft could give a feel of being more comfortable. *shrug* AND I agree with you on NWA. I'm not a fan.

Haha--no problem at all, I really don't mind the questions. My friend said they were the first to arrive to the naval base. I have no idea if they were the first to arrive on Guam, or how long they'd been here and what they did before they came to the naval base, but I know she said they were the first to get to the base and she was the first driver picked.

Suds, that sounds like a very good possibility. Perhaps the chopper hop comes first then the GPS gig. That could also explain the vest-type garment they all are wearing which actually could be some kind of flotation device you also have to wear in case you come down in the water.
Good chance that after AAFB DETOUR they must make their way to Nimintz hill (also the home of the islands commanding Admiral) and find the lookout point. Then they must make their way to the Naval Station for the next clue which is the ROADBLOCK. Also it looks like once on Guam they must drive themselves around the island in vans of some sort. But need to have someone else drive them into, on and off both AAFB and the Navy Base.

"I'd be happy to share what I know with you, and you can pass it on if you want.
A friend of mine was selected to be a driver for the teams that came to the naval base. The Beauty Queens were the first to arrive at the base, and this is who my friend drove. I believe they were the first to finish here as well. I have no idea whether all the teams came to the naval base or if they had the choice to go to the air force base. From the previews for next week, I'm pretty sure that Eric & Danielle also came to the naval base, and the Charla & Mirna were at the Air Force Base. The challenge on the Naval base involved a run through a jungle, and a short helicopter ride, I think. The challenge at the Air Force base, is part of a toy drop that Guam participates in every December, where they fly donated toys to nearby islands. I really have no idea how any of them did overall here. Hope this helps a little! "

If Phil's preview doesn't come out tomorrow does that mean we wont get it, because I doubt they work on weekends!

Danielle
Charla
Oswald
Dustin
So this must be the ROADBLOCK since one member of each team is performing the task.
To me it now looks like the team member must ride in a helicopter a short distance over the Naval Base to a jungle training area, and then find their way back to civilization where the other member of the team is waiting. There is a shot (also in the new thread) of two people running toward an open door helicopter. This looks very much like the same type of chopper my cameraman and I flew in when we were in Guam (hanging out the door and filming the island below).

Quote from: Chateau
I just beat a speeding ticket today. I was up all night preparing my defense. I had it all ready, Google Earth shots, protractor, and optical illusion tricks to demonstrate the power of bad assumptions.
Stupid CHiP did not show. I'm so disappointed. I was gonna educate him!
OH I SO wish the cop HAD shown up--I would have loved to see the Judge's face! They would have had no response I'm sure! The very thought of this made my day.... :happy: But hey--were you really speeding?? :lol3:
Oh the other hand--I come back from work expecting all of you to have had a busy day spoiling the Phil preview--and what do I find? Nothing!
I take it Phil was a no-show this week too? That slacker! (:;) Well, we'll all have to work even harder. If Chateau :angel: is able to give us some times on the Cha's at the Asan Overlook, I think we'll have a better idea of whether that clue was a "go to the Naval Station or AAFB and do"....or a head towards the Pitstop kind of clue.
Does anyone else think that the Charla confessional looks to be a lot later in the day than the E/D and BQ's??

After Dustin and Kandice heard about this, they decided to change their booking to do the same. The connect time to NW10 was still quite adedquate. Their production crew of cameraman and soundman just barely made it through customs with their equipment to get on the later flight.

I've been working on the Cha shot. It's kind blurry and curved so I don't get the accuracy I was hoping for.
This shot was taken between 11:15 am and 12:45 pm (assumes December 15th)

The teams have to get from the Pitstop point to get to the ticket counter and maybe even had to do a small task before? Just thinking outloud.
Puddin - the small task would have to be *REALLY* small (like last seasons go to the church that has been under construction for 100 years) because they have a lot to do in the finale and it's only one hour - so I don't think it would effect the order of arrival at the airport.

A slightly smaller version provided by Promosedia, touting the "Chair District" of Friuli, Italy, stands at the entrance of the LA Merchandise Mart, 1933 S. Broadway, Los Angeles, California.

The only downside to this is the delay to reaching the Hong Kong airport. That could separate the teams onto different flights and routes into Guam, with different arrival times(like 0100, 0205, 0230) if they cannot make the 0935 latest departure that will reach Narita in time to connect with CO7.
I am going to track down each route again and list them in another post.

I have previously listed the 5 different flights from Hong Kong leaving at 0800 to 0940 that will make a connection with CO7 in Tokyo-Narita. CO7 departs at 1550 and arrives GUM 2025.
Connections have been checked via Saipan, Nagoya, Hanoi, Canton, and Taipei. Nothing works for a simple 2-flight connection and no 3-flight connection will be superior in arrival time(for a given departure range) to the times indicated below:
CONNECTING THROUGH NARITA
JL732 departs HKG 1450 arrives NRT 2000, connecting to JO981 departing NRT 2130 arriving GUM 0205
CX500 departs HKG 1500 arrives NRT 2025, connecting to JO981 as above.
NH910 departs HKG 1510 arrives NRT 2015, connecting to JO981 as above.
CX520 departs HKG 1030 arrives NRT 1600, connecting to either CO964 (departs 2025 arrives 0100) or NW 82 (departs 2030 arrives 0110) ro GUM
JL376 departs HKG 1045 arrives NRT 1555, connecting to either CO964 or NW82 as above.
CONNECTING THROUGH MANILA
CX903 departs HKG 1630 arrives MNL 1835, connecting to CO934 departing MNL 2235 arriving GUM 0430
PR307 departs HKG 1800 arrives MNL 2000, connecting to CO934 as above.
5J119 departs HKG 1940 arrives MNL 1940, connecting to CO934 as above.
This is really 4 primary flights in at 2025, 0100/0110, 0205, and 0430. None of it is likely to matter with hours of operation on Guam. Any teams catching the first set of flights will get some rest on Guam. There may be a flight or two that I have missed. There were more when I checked them months ago, but they seem to have vanished.
Post by: gingerman28 on April 28, 2007, 09:24:37 AM
Looks like in anycase a case of Hours of Operation (or wait until the base opens at sunrise)

hang tight...things seem to be getting better.
Gman to answer your question ...from our very own mswood (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12078.0.html) :kuss:
I am guessing (damn overcast. Its official the producers really hate Chateau…) that the Dustin & Kandice could have arrived at the Pit Stop between 2:00pm to 2:30pm. With Eric & Danielle about 15 minutes behind them, and then 15 more minutes for Charla & Mirna to check in 2cd place, another 15 for Eric & Danielle to check in, and I am guessing Oswald and Danny are significantly behind that. Say an hour to an hour and a half.
1. D & K 2:00-2:30
2. C & M 2:30-3:00
3. E & D 2:50 (I still swear I see 1:50 on his watch but that would be damn, damn fast or perhaps off by an hour.
4. Oswald & Danny

Post by: gingerman28 on April 28, 2007, 02:49:01 PM
The other possiblity is that they make the earlier connections through NRT but still arrive in Guam in the wee hours of the morning. In any case teams will be arriving in Guam between 1:00AM and 4:30AM so will bunch up at the gates of AAFB waiting for the armed guards to let them in (leave your messy backpacks at the gate please).
If all goes well, except for Danny and Oswald, the teams all should arrive at the pit stop in Guam in mid-afternoon.

See, I was driving around Agat a couple of hours ago. And lo and behold, what do I see at a random location (see below), but a red arrow with a yellow background?! I checked it out, it's different from that one in Hawai'i in that it didn't have the black outline. It's made from cardboard-like material, about 2 and 1/2 feet long and 1 feet high. It's tied to bridge ledge-type thing, and it's pointing towards the direction of the cemetery. There's a small creek beside it, by the way. And then the small cemetery leads to the beach. I'm very surprised that it's still there, if it's indeed from TAR, because it's been 4 and 1/2 months already.
Haha, I wanted to take it, but I asked a man walking by if I could, and he said I shouldn't be taking it because it might be from the Mayor's office. So I didn't. Man, I wish I wasn't so compulsive as to just head there without my camera. :groan:
Anyways, I'll take a picture of it tomorrow morning (or maybe just get it) if I could, which doesn't really help our investigations because it's gonna be Sunday evening there in the mainland by that time. ;D

The PIPs just repeat shots from the network promos; rarely does anything new get included.
About time we did some thinking on our own.
I have tried to start the ball rolling at least twice, but no takers on filling in the blanks. Looks like the TAR detectives are lost without on the scene witnesses. We have enough now to make some valid guesses on what is going to happen tomorrow night. This is no time to "be bored"; this is the time to really put your mental abilities to work.

Please educate me on the anatomy of the Amazing Race location arrow. I'm talking about this one from the Shipwreck Beach location. Are all arrows like that? Yellow background, red arrow, with a black outline on both? Can there be any variations?

As to the spoilers concerning teams arriving at the airport the the next afternoon.
Quote
F3 teams booked their flights to Honolulu via Tokyo-Narita on the afternoon of Saturday Dec. 16.We really can't make a real judgment on the arrival at the Pit Stop at the end of this leg.
After all Charla & Mirna are famous for using hotels (for internet) or travel agencies to book.
But we also with clips see Eric & Danielle try this on occasion as well.
The only team that really doesn't (or hasn't been shown at least) going to travel agencies is Dustin & Kandice unless directed to.
But I do feel that Eric & Danielle will actually be the last to arrive at the Pit Stop and are only saved by Oswald & Danny's penalty just to further give ammunition to those who feel that they are the most undeserving winners ever. Just to personally spite me.

I'm missing something here--why we would think C/M could be first? Unless we don't think Xmas drop is a detour and you are thinking they have to do a third something?
I think we may have a lot of time in airports again--this is a long flight for our guys...
And if the plane Xmas drop IS a detour it is definitely before the Roadblock based on Chateau's times, right?

Well based on roving reporter apskip we can assume that this episode begins with a 24 hour Pit Stop from the end of the last leg.
Since all confessionals are shot in the afternoon, and that all teams get to the airport:QuoteF3 teams booked their flights to Honolulu via Tokyo-Narita on the afternoon of Saturday Dec. 16.
Do we have time for a 24 hour pitstop?
I was thinking they left the Pitstop in the early morning hours--got to airport--HOO--and then booked tickets in the morning for afternoon flights out.
Apskip--can you clarify :please:

Yeah, well I am an idiot. So we have a 12 hour Pit Stop since we have reports of teams arriving on the 14th but performing tasks on the 15th. That means teams must start out beofre 5am or so, and either perform some tasks (Doubtful based on the history of the race's is last leg), or that I read the quote to literally and that they arrived in the morning (though starting that early does give credence to the fact that team's order could be changed dramatically by checking hotels for internet or phone to get tickets before heading to the airport) and that teamsflights left in the afternoon.
Let's just say that there is only a 12 hour pit stop. I have Dustin/Kandice leaving at abou 0200 to 0230 and reaching Hong Kong International no earlier than 5am if there is no task to perform first. With the departure of the flights to Narita in the 0800 to 0940 time frame, it cannot be a 24 hour pitstop. It's classic bunching with all teams level. Eveybody could wind up on CO7 out of NRT to GUM, arriving at 2025 (in the evening). If not, then they will catch up on later than 0430(last alternative flight in), as no Guam tasks appear to start before sunrise.

Now I am confused--we were talking about the Guam--Hawaii leg right?
If so then:
Apskip--that is a great summary but let's move it to Ep 12.
mswood and I had jumped ahead to Ep 13--can you do the same here please? :kuss:
Post by: $HOP@HOL!C on April 29, 2007, 10:21:06 AM
Maybe somebody can teach the peach how to do that? Please?Yeah, I'd like to know how to do that 2.
As 2 which team arrives 1st, I think we'd be able to find that out if we were able to find out the time of the confessionals based on the sky, lol

Well based on roving reporter apskip we can assume that this episode begins with a 24 hour Pit Stop from the end of the last leg.
Since all confessionals are shot in the afternoon, and that all teams get to the airport:QuoteF3 teams booked their flights to Honolulu via Tokyo-Narita on the afternoon of Saturday Dec. 16.
We're mixing oranges and apples now. Speculation on when teams are leaving on the next leg, while we are still put leg 12 together. I don't think we have a 24-hour pit stop at the end of leg 11 since we see Oswald and Danny opening the clue for leg 12 and it is pitch black out so probably in the early morning which is consistent with estimated pit stop arrival times in Macao.
Let's keep Leg 12 speculation here in this thread, and put speculation about flights to Japan-Honolulu-San Francisco in the other thread for Ep 13 which is below this one.
Post by: apskip on April 29, 2007, 12:44:33 PM
The Guam pistop has to be 12 hours. Teams will arrive whenever, but nothing will happen before about 0600 Dec. 15 because that's first reasonable light on Guam (I should know; I was just there and on April 23 it was black at 0530 and at 0602 the sun came up quickly; this is typical of an island near the equator). Teams have to finish sometime after about 1700 because if they were at the pitstop sooner they would be able to make CO 2 nonstop to Honolulu departing 0600 Dec. 16 and arriving 1705 Dec. 15. We know that this does not happen. On release from the pitstop on the mornning of Dec. 16 on guam, teams may elect to make phone reservations or visit a travel agency, we don't know. They do show up at Guam International Airport for ticketing (and maybe for reservations) and for changing those tickets in the case of the "demanding blondes". D/K and E/D go to Northwest, appropriate since they are the carrier, and C/M for unknown reasons go to Continental.
NW 81 and NW71 leave at close to 4pm and arrive in Tokyo-Narita around 7pm (see my earlier popsts for specifics). NW10 leaves NRT 2030 and arrives HNL 0825 on Dec. 16. That leaves the entire day for Hawaiian tasks before teams need to be on planes for SFO by 10pm.
Post by: georgiapeach on April 29, 2007, 12:46:20 PM
I blame it all on too many NRT changes!
So ignore the whole conversation--we'll figure it out later if we ever get un-confused! :lol: :rotf: :lol:

QuoteBut I do feel that Eric & Danielle will actually be the last to arrive at the Pit Stop and are only saved by Oswald & Danny's penalty just to further give ammunition to those who feel that they are the most undeserving winners ever. Just to personally spite me.Well they just might as well save their ammunition to shoot themselves in the head next week, I mean seriously all this hate and whining over a reality show that was filmed 5 months ago...its not like its the end of the world or something for Gods sakes I wish they would all STFU already :meow:
Hehehehe
I absolutely can't wait to here the pissing and moaning and bitching and harping on both sucks and TWOP at the final (if the list is accurate and I am pretty damn confident in ithat).

Guess "only the Chateau" knows for sure....
I don't know. I suppose the confessional could have been filmed way down there. but remember we have that car that goes along a roadway in one of the confessional shots. I can't see any roadways in the area of that hill. There are some assumptions going on here that should be kept in mind so that if they are wrong we can still hang on to valid contingencies.
1) Cluebox cannot be at pit stop
2) Location of confessional is the location of the pit stop
3) Roadblock starts exactly at the cluebox
4) Roadblock takes place at a single location
5) Shadows are always caused by sunlight ???
Here is a scenario that may work:
Teams are directed to the overlook at the War of Pacific Historical Park (this is the cluebox that we see the Chas at)
It directs them to the Navel Base. They are driven onto the base and they read a clue there.
It's a Roadblock.
Team member who elects to do the Roadblock is driven to a special location.
The non-Roadblocker is driven someplace else.
Roadlock gets completed and both are driven off base.
The clue directs them to Asan Beach where they look for something like old Japanese gun emplacements
Or maybe it just says to look for the pit stop mat.

Why did I always think they were on a runway at AAFB running to the next task after completing the Xmas drop?
I like your scenario though.
Any chance of time estimates on the confessional shots? Apskip thinks it needs to be close to 5 or one team could have made a really early flight to Hawaii the next morning which didn't happen.

They are on a ROAD in that picture?
Sorry for delay, I had to go do service hours at the school. Reason: Because that is the ONLY place I could find that had a grassy strip between two paved areas. A few other factors come into play such as having ocean in the back and the shadow angle has to be something 9 am to 3 pm.
About the times, I think we have enough. Remember the driver reported that all was done for them by lunchtime or noon. Can't find the original post. The Danielle shot is noonish, the Chas shot at the overlook cluebox is noonish, the Chas confessional is around 1:20 pm.
You will get to see if it is true in just a few minutes!

But they did follow pretty much our scenario. Great going guys.
Shot of Oswald and Danny at the clue box at the lookout on Nimitz hill never made it into the final cut.

Charla/Mirna were first with (again) a huge lead
Eric/Danielle were next followed by...
BQ's and...
Cha Cha Chas's (still in it in guam apparently)

I've gone to Fort Soledad two Saturdays ago... with the picture of Oswald/Danny's confessional in my hands... but I didn't think it was there! :groan:
I think teams were supposed to go to the Asan Bay Overlook first before the US Naval Base. I noticed that the Naval Base clue was not in any of the same frames as the team when they were in AAFB.
Post by: georgiapeach on April 30, 2007, 07:48:50 AM
I was so sorry they didn't show the Asan Overlook but....
I just saw D/O on TES. Oswald said that there was a routemarker at an "Overlook" between the Detour and the Roadblock. They apparently had trouble finding the Overlook, which made them later to the Roadblock, which they felt contributed to their loss.
When asked why they were wishing for Ch/M for the win?? Oswald said it was because he regretted the "Teletubby" comment!

Looked at the tape of Ep 12 again and the teams probably did go to the Asan Bay Overlook to pickup the clue sending them to the Naval Base Guam. When the teams pick up the clue after the detour at AAFB, you never actually see the teams looking at the clue - editors go to a close up of the actual clue with the teams saying what the clue reads only in a voice over which could have been post-recorded. Probably had too much footage at AAFB and NBG and used up all the time on these two sites. We jut lost some nice visuals of Guam, but nothing affecting the race outcome.

chevy (http://www.outsports.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=37265&view=findpost&p=326377) speaks...
ok....here is my take on the episode shown tonight. I was there in Guam at the time of filming and got to watch all 4 teams compete. The day before the teams arrived, the buzz around Andersen was that the Amazing Race teams were going to be on base. How exciting since I am a huge fan. So, I show up at work around 730. We (my coworkers and I) got to watch the teams arrive with their escorts. 3 teams peeled off and did the engine wash and Myrna and Charla did the care package. We watched them throw the stuff in the box. We had the benefit of a Dept of Defense Public Affairs officer give us the entire lowdown on the events. If you see them underneath the canopy, my coworkers were just out of camera range. It was pretty interesting watching them. I would guess it only took them 10 mins or so to build the package. As you can tell from the footage, they actually didn't load the package onto the aircraft. In fact, the package they did build was broken down and re-done by the military unit after the filming stopped. After the team put the stuff in the box, the team was escorted down to a bus and taken to the aircraft. The bus stopped near the plane and they ran towards the plane. After the plane took off, I went down and watched the other 3 teams wash the engines. It was interesting to see the teams in those yellow suits. We got to watch the BQs run by us, followed shortly by Danielle and Eric (he waved to us), and finally by O/D. It was a good 20 or 30 minutes before the C-17 landed and Charla/Myrna left the airplane (back on the bus for the short ride back to their awaiting vehicle). I was sure that they would be eliminated since it took far longer for their detour. The public affairs officer only told us that they were headed down to the Navy base and would be doing something with helicoptors. Overall, it was interesting to see what was actually filmed and edited. A note about the aircraft footage. There were some cutaways to show a B-52 and a C-5. There wasn't even an active B-52 or a C-5 at the time they were filming. Strange they included those planes in tonight's episode. I am rooting for Danielle and Eric win but wouldn't mind if the BQs won either. Myrna and Charla are on my last nerve with their "accent of the week".

How did you figure that out Slowhatch?The old-fashioned way. :lol: Remember a few months ago I posted the notice about WRP looking for a secretary in El Segundo? It got me curious, because I only remembered the MDR office. After a bit of searching, I found 200 N. Continental Blvd., the China Airlines building. Since it's only a few blocks away from Fry's (local geek store), I decided to pay a visit. It turns out that the ES office is much bigger than the MDR diggs. China Air and WRP are the only tenants, and WRP seems to command the lion's share of parking spaces. Judging from appearances (the guard stopped me before I reached the front door), the "shirt-sleeve" work is done at MDR and the "front-office" work is done at ES.

Back to the Garmins. All four showed the pilots at the same place. And the LZ coordinates I got off of Dustin's Garmin. The photo below (kmz attached) shows the locations; the two points are about 680 crow-flight yards apart.

More editing nonsense. When the first two teams arrive in Narita, the BQs say something like, "we need to get a boarding pass." Then it cuts to a counter scene showing a passport: Jimenez 7781 (last 4 SSN?). Dirty pirate thieves! :lol: When D/O finally arrive, their passports have been magically returned to them.
