Yeah, hopefully we get the elimination station.  Just to see teams reactions to the final three if nothing else.

Though Jill and John Vito will be bummed about Oswald & Danny.

Thanks to the wonderful SurvivorLDog at sucks who keeps me sane waiting the three hours for Pacific time.

PREVIOUSLY ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:

Phil: Teams raced from Hong Kong to Macau where Danny/Oswald learned a lesson in Karma (Yield deal w/D/K). At the Noodle Detour, some teams struggled, as Eric/Danielle made up for lost time. Oswald/Danny got lost in the streets. Dustin/Kandice were first to arrive, and Oswald/Danny were last. They were spared, but are marked for elimination.

Which one of these four teams will be eliminated tonight?
Title: Re: EP12 Chat & Updates
Post by: puddin on April 29, 2007, 07:03:34 PM
I just don't recall if this is old or new when Phil says one of these teams will be eliminated tonight..?

Phil: This is Macau. For nearly 500 years this peninsula has been a way station between China and Japan. The Taipa Pequena 2000 was the 11th pitstop in a Race around the world.

Can Oswald/Danny overcome their 30 minute penalty?
Will Eric/Danielle knock them out of the race?

D/K, 2:15 am, CLUE: Fly to the island of Guam.
Phil: When they land, drive 9 miles to Anderson AFB, choosing a military escort to drive them to an air traffic control tower. Climb it for the next clue.

D/K conf: You either win or you go home!
Title: Re: EP12 Chat & Updates
Post by: mswood on April 29, 2007, 07:08:21 PM
C/M, 2:50 am, leave Macau.

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.

Macau lines to leave on the ferry for Hong Kong.

Missed Eric/Danielle's departure time when my caplock locked up(again), involuntarily.

Dustin/Kandice get off the ferry and take off for the airport in a taxi. The next ferry with C/M and E/D left at 4:25, apparently.

Chas, CLUE, 4:37 am.
Conf: Karma was a bitch, yadda, yadda.
Oswald conf: We've asked the universe for forgiveness. Hopefully things will go our way.

Mirna in cab, putting a Portuguese accent.
Mirna:   We have to do the right accent in this part of the world.

 

Chas last to get on a ferry, after the other teams.

D/K arrive at the airport.
First available flight?
Charla/Mirna on their cabbie's cell phone as D/K talk to an airport agent.
Both agents: CATHAY PACIFIC. 9:00 departure. 9:50 pm arrival.

D/K, M/C, E/D also get the same flight.

D/O get off the ferry and ask ...
Woman: Flight closes in 5 minutes.
They do an "OJ" run through the airport to try to catch up.
Eric: Hopefully they got lost.
Oswald: Are we gonna make the flight?
Other woman: You can't make it.
Next flight ... 10:15 am, still gets in 9:50 but there's a connection glitch ... only 35 minutes between gates.
Oswald: Get ready to haul ass!

Phil: All teams making their way via Tokyo.
Title: Re: EP12 Chat & Updates
Post by: mswood on April 29, 2007, 07:16:42 PM
Danny/Oswald have a very tight connection.
They run through Tokyo airport.
O: It's always the last gate! If we don't make it we'll be dead!

Eric conf: We have nothing to say to Danny/Oswald. The sooner they're out, the better.
Oswald: We felt a cold breeze (when we boarded). Freezing cold.


GUAM.

Teams run for the SUV's.
Charla: We beat the Beauty Queens!

Oswald/Danny find the Visitors' Center closed.
Opens 7:00 am.
ANOTHER EQUALIZER.


Morning.

Eric conf: Hopefully get Danny/Oswald eliminated today.

Each team grabs an escort.
Mirna grabs the biggest guy.   
She introduces herself to "Frederick."

TOWER.
Teams run up the stairs one at a time.
Poor Charla is the slowest, of course.

CLUE, D/K.
DETOUR.
Phil: Two routine USAF activities.
Care package, or Engine care?
Package: Warehouse, choose a packing station, pack 500 pounds of supplies for island locals. Massive C-17 takes them for an airdrop. When they land, the loadmaster hands them the next clue.
Engine: Scour clean wings of a B52 bomber.

D/K want to wash.
E/D ... then D/O. Both doing washing.
C/M want to do the "humanitarian detour, to help people in need."
Mirna: Charla! Can you run? Please, Charla! It's for a million dollars! We have to put it all in the care package!
An officer barks instructions how to pack.

Dustin/Kandice missed a spot, too.
D: Picky, picky!
Charla/Mirna tape their boxes.
Kandice's forearm is tired!
Oswald: This is so hard!
Danny: No turning back, man!

Charla/Mirna board the huge plane.
Mirna: I feel like Top Gun!

The plane takes off.

Dustin/Kandice still have a spot they missed.
Officer: Keep going. We do this every day.

Sergeant: Good.
D/K, CLUE: Drive yourselves to the Naval Base.
Phil: They'll drive 21 miles where a naval escort will drive them to the next clue.

Oswald/Danny and Eric/Danielle struggle to finish.
E/D ask the sergeant ...
Sergeant: Good.
E/D leave in 2nd.

Mirna to pilot: We're kind of in a rush.

C/M get out of the plane.

D/K first into their car, driving toward the Naval Base.
E/D, D/O leave.
Frederick tells Mirna they're in last.
Mirna: We've fallen into fourth. It's a race to the end. Only the top three go on. It's awful.

Danielle conf: You get nervous and don't want to mess up.

Teams check their maps.
Oswald: Route 1. That way. (Pointing)
Danny: You don't think it's THAT way? (Other direction)

Back seat, Charla, crying: You get this far, and you want to be rewarded.

First to the Naval Base, D/K.
They get a female escort/driver.
CLUE: ROADBLOCK. Who's ready to search far and wide?
Phil: One person takes part in a naval search/rescue exercise with a GPS device. They have to locate 1 of 4 officers who will give them a new course, to a clearing, where the team member has to call for a helicopter extraction.

Dustin uses the Garmin.
D: "I'm off course."
D Conf: Like searching for an easter basket.

Eric: I've already done all my Roadblocks.
Danielle looks very unhappy having to do this one.

Oswald/Danny have a taxi leading them "hopefully in the right direction." Maybe not, because ...
C/M arrive at the Roadblock in 3rd.
Charla will do it.
Mirna: Use the GPS! It tells you which way to go! Don't press any buttons!
Charla: You guys have a tough job!
Dustin: Come here, pilot. I'm here to save you!
Charla: I don't understand this thing!

Dustin finds her hidden pilot.
Roleplaying, D: You all right?   
He gives her instructions.

Danny/Oswald still driving ... somewhere on Guam.

Dustin has directions to the "landing zone."
She runs through the forest.
D: Oh! I have spiders all over me!
Mirna: I hope Charla knows how to use the system.
Danielle finds her soldier.
Charla touches the screen.
Screen: ERROR.
Escort: I told you not to touch the screen.   

Dustin finds the landing zone and calls for extraction.
The helo comes for her.
D tosses the flare for it to find her.
Seeing the helo in the air, Charla isn't at all happy.   
Helo leaves with Dustin.
Dustin arrives back with Kandice.
Eric: I hope that's Danielle.
(Um, no, asswipe. It's Dustin.)
D/K, CLUE: Drive yourselves to the next pitstop, Ft. Soledad.
Phil: This 19th century fort, the pitstop. Last team to check in will be eliminated.

Escort gives Charla instructions.
Charla: If I knew how to follow it (the signal), I would.  

Finally Oswald/Danny arrive.
Oswald gets the GPS.
Danielle sobs.
D: Eric's gonna kill me! I'm so, last!
Charla touches the screen, again.
Escort: Ma'am, I told you not to touch the screen.  

Driving, Dustin: So patriotic. Proud to be an American.

Woman (without headwear): Welcome to Fort Soledad, Guam.
Phil: Dustin/Kandice, you're team #1. Congratulations. You're one of the three teams who'll be racing to the finish line for $1 million. The chance to be the first all-female team. More good news. You have each won an all terrain vehicle!

Now no matter what happens the BQ's will have the most legs won of both any female team, and the most for this season.

She's looking for the landing zone.
Charla has "to go through this grass. I hope something doesn't bite me."
Charla: There's no land mines, right?
Charla finds her officer!
She trundles through the brush for the second set of coordinates.
Charla: Hope I don't get poison ivy out here.
Oswald, finding officer: Didn't I just pass you? Like a thousand times? 

Danielle finds the landing zone and calls for an extraction.
She tosses the smoke-flare.
She is extracted.

The girl I have been writing was a friend of the driver.  Her husband is in the military, he has been stationed in Guam for three years.

Dustin/Kandice get off the ferry and take off for the airport in a taxi. The next ferry with C/M and E/D left at 4:25, apparently.

mswood, I think what really happened was that C/M and E/D left on the 0400 ferry and when Dustin/Kandice made their remark it was 0425, when they estimated those 2 teams would be halfway across to Hong Kong.

CHATEAU, please remind me of what your estimates of the pitstop arrival times were. I need to know for confirmation of the flight scenarios (like we don't know already) for Dec. 16. If any team arrived before 1630, then there must be a pre-airport task that prevents them from catching CO 2 nonstop to Honolulu. Since we know that nobody did, either nobody arrived before 1630 or there will be such a task to open the FINALE.

The Special Thanks, fwiw. Shooting Star is Guam-based, Liquid Planet is Hawaiian, and Inhouse Creative is SF-based. Outrigger Resorts has places in Guam and the Hawaiian islands (but not Lanai).

I'll get the times later on but I think that all teams will have no trouble catching a 6 am flight.

Post by: apskip on April 30, 2007, 10:02:15 AM
CHATEAU, one thing that is absolutely certain is that they do not catch that 0600 flight. We have eyewitness reports of them going on NW 81 or NW73 to Tokyo-Narita, followed by NW10 from Narita to Honolulu. They do NOT fly nonstop to Honolulu, so the question is why not? Being the Christmas sseason, one can guess that most flights were going out and coming in full, so CO2 may have beenfull and overbooked. Early morning tasks on Guam are the next most likely explanation, but a possibility is pitstop arrival after 1630 so that they can't get to Guam International Airport in time to make CO2.

Scrub vs FLY? How could you not choose fly???

Duh, maybe if you think the less glamorous option is going to be quicker and are more interested in $1,000,000 than which task you do. This is where the guy who writes the RealityNewsOnline column "Thinking Smart" should be cited.

CHATEAU, if a may quote you

is what you said.

You could clear this up very quickly if there is a possiblity of issuing pitstop times. That would be extremely helpful at this point to maybe settle the issue. Only if a time is before 1630 can a team hope to make CO2 the next morning and they will have to be fast to do that.

The distance from the Umatac Bay area where Fort Soledad is to Guam International Airport is about 25 miles and should take over 30 minutes by car.

I guess I'm not being very clear.  What I should say is

I think that,

if
their first clue instructs them to fly to Hawaii
and if the flight has enough seats available
and if they are not restricted by production from taking a 6 am flight,
then

all teams will have no trouble catching a 6 am flight.

Shadow times will be coming along in a day or so.  I'm not expecting any team to have a check in time later than 4:30 pm.

I was just re watching the episode and noticed a discrepancy that hasn't been mentioned.

For the Care Package Phil said the packed box was to weigh 500 lbs (19 mins).  When C/M's box was weighed it was 300 lbs (22 mins).

I just thought of something.  When C/M were taping their box (Phil said box, not boxes) there was 2 boxes there.  Maybe the combo weight of the 2 boxes had to be 500 lbs.

They weren't provided big enough boxes to fit 500 lbs., I guess. Or maybe the actual limit for the boxes to be dropped is 300 lbs. a box.

Yeah... Charla/Mirna had two boxes... 200+ lbs. and 300 lbs. Whoever got their boxes are lucky.  :hearts:

Nobody got their boxes. It was a practice run over Guam. The real thing was a few days later to the other islands.

Is this due to chevy's comment, apskip? 'Cause I've read from reality blurred (http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_amazing_race_11/2007_May_01_guam_corrections) that the box Charla/Mirna worked on was actually dropped off somewhere.

OK, hakushu8. I do not believe that what was dropped on TV were the two boxes totalling 510 pounds that Charla and Mirna packed anyway, so if those boxes were really dropped later in the week with the actual Christmas drop that's nice.

It looked like a few 55 gallon drums on a pallet but I'm half blind and totally deaf so what do I know. OT On Vieques: I hope it remains undiscovered, not a single McDonalds, Burger King etc and not a single traffic signal other than a few stop signs in "town."

I don't think that they actually had time to get the boxes onto a drop pallet.  As soon as they filled the box, they were running onto the C-17.  The drums were already loaded onboard for a practice run.

The amount of time needed to get packages ready to drop (wrapped good and parachuted) was an indication the boxes C/M filled were not prepared for C/M's plane ride.  I took it that the plane was ready for takeoff with drop package already ready and they got strapped in and the plane took off.  According to TPTB the whole thing should have taken 30 mins HA! HA!

I read it somewhere.  Don't remember where.  I read that C/M's box(es) was/were repacked.  I'm sure the items were probably used in the actual drops a few days later but neatly packed.
