Title: EP6:11/2 "Please Hold While I Singe My Skull"
Post by: puddin on October 16, 2008, 10:23:11 AM
We have a mix of info, New Delhi and Old Delhi but I'll put everything we know in this thread for now until we can sort it out later.

11/2/2008: Please Hold While I Singe My Skull
The teams travel from Cambodia to New Delhi on the sixth leg of the race.





Not a leg!! Eyewitness info

Delhi, India via Bangkok, Thailand 5/6/08

Per MrsShrek blogger find (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15356.msg300368.html#msg300368 4/2/08)

*Was just in the Siem Reap, Cambodia airport with the next Amazing Race people.
*When I asked one of the crew, he hesitated and told me it was a documentary.
*Then I looked around and saw 12 crew members, 7 cameras and 9 boom mikes.
*Then two of the contestants who had overheard me talking about going to Nepal earlier, snuck away from everyone to ask me if I was going to India.
 Here's the transcript of that conversation:
Girls: Um, can you do us a favor? So you're going to India?
Me: No, actually Nepal.
Girls: Oh. Is that near India?
Girls: Well, we need to find something in India and thought you might be able to help since you were going near there.
Me: Okkkkkkkkk. But I'm actually going to Nepal.
Girls: Well, we're looking for something really obscure in Delhi.
Anyway, sat in front of all of them on the plane where they were filmed almost the entire time and took pictures (http://jumpingthetracks.blogspot.com/2008/05/amazing-race.html) on the bus and in the Bangkok airport that I'll post.


More from Jason/jumpingthetracks   (http://jumpingthetracks.blogspot.com/2008/05/amazing-race.html) sans peach: (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15372.msg300509.html#msg300509)

Here's my breakdown of the contestants:
*2 girls, both from Texas, one blond, one brunette.
*A young guy with spikey hair (college age, red shirt, orange packwhite headband in the escalator pic) and his mother.
*A young couple (pic of them from behind on my blog), probably mid-20s.
*Another guy and girl but not a couple, early 20s.
*2 frat boys.  One was wearing an AEPi shirt from Arizona State dated 2006 and the other was the jew-fro kid with the yellow headband.  He's definitely a racer

*No African American team


More from Jason   (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15372.msg300525.html#msg300525)

* Hey everyone.  Glad I could help with the Bangkok pics and info. 
*As Peach posted, I can definitely identify 5 teams and think there was another but can't be sure.  . 
*Sorry about that.  Actually, I was chatting with a crew member in the customs line when they told me it was a documentary and I asked how many people there are in the "movie" and just threw 10 out there as a number and he said yeah so maybe there are only 5 teams left. 
*I can definitely say that the frat guys are the guys in my second set of pics, one with a yellow headband, one with a yellow hat.  They were doing pullups on the bus ride from the plane. 
*The 2 girls, one blond/reddish hair, one brunette, both from Texas. 
*The couple with their backs to me in the other shot is a team, they had a number on the packs.
 *Then there's the young guy with the spikey hair and his mother and another M/F who are together but almost positive they're not a couple. 
*That's all I saw in terms of contestants.

*I can definitely say there was no african american team.  There was one african american guy but he was a sound guy.  That's it. 
*What else?  ummmmm, I didn't see any older couple with the group
*We were pretty much waiting in the small Siem Reap airport together for over an hour so I got a pretty good look at everyone that was there.

On Flight Between Bangkok and India (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15356.msg301576.html#msg301576)
Tuesday, May 06, 2008 
*On the flight I met the cast and crew of next falls "Amazing Race."
*You give one couple your guidebook after being told that they and the camera crew are filming a travel documentary.
*One cameraman says it' s just a pilot and will probably come out on Discovery Channel.
*But when you go to hand your book to the gentleman and you ask him more about what the specific theme or title of the documentary is, he responds by putting on a cautious and direct face then points at a small black travel bag with orange and yellow stripes down the middle.
*I shrug my shoulders saying, "i don't know what that is." He then discreetly opens the top zipper and pulls out a black and yellow ticket just enough for me to make out the large bold letters that spell "Race" and I got it.
*He shook his head knowingly and we winked at each other and I returned to my seat.
*It all made sense then. And I could easily pick out who the crew were and the various couples.
*Some were partners, some were family, some were friends.
*They all seemed to be slightly frantic and on edge and some of them were trying desperately to exchange dollars for Rupees while still on the flight. A pair of young jewish boys asked me for some and I told them they could just go to an ATM at the airport.
*One replied with, "We won't have enough time." I was shocked by that. Who doesn't have an extra minute for an ATM when vacationing to a foreign country? I knew then something was up

Just to catch up....   (http://myweirdmindwonders.blogspot.com/2008/05/just-to-catch-up.html)
So I just got back into Thailand from Cambodia.... which is why i haven't posted in a while. Ends up that Cambodia is not a telecommunications mecca. Anyways, everything has kinda been a whirlwind. Covered 3 countries in 2 weeks and it kinda feels like we are on "The Amazing Race".... and i mean literally. Yesterday we were in Angkor Wat (more of that story later... it is AMAZING... you should look up pictures... seriously a Wonder of the Ancient world--- i thought better than the stuff i saw in Rome) The Amazing Race was filming at Angkor the same day we were there. AND THEN... we end up at the airport to fly to Bangkok from Cambodia... and who was on our airplane.... thats right.... 3 teams competing on the next season of the Amazing Race. We are sitting there and then all the sudden all these camera and sound guys are filming everything. And the producer guy was sitting in the seat right behind me and vida. CRAZY!! So now we consider ourselves official unofficial cast members. And before all this started I was telling vida that i thought it felt like we were on the amazing race.

Delhi international airport, thanks to Alicia

In my original email I had said May 7th, but we just looked at our calendar and it should have actually been the 6th of May. The time is disputed (between my husband and I). The photo says one time, but that could have been Thailand time and it could have been inaccurate to begin with. It was definitely late afternoon, early evening. Likely between 3pm and 7pm. We had a long layover and have since gotten rid of the tickets.

As an added note, the blonde/white haired chick was super antsy, practically jumping up and down, when she was stuck in line.

We have only 8 teams left now. The sighting stated above by Jason had to be Toni/Dallas, Kelly/Christy, Terence/Sarah(couple thought to be in their 20s), Nick/Starr (definitely not a couple in early 20s), and Dan and Andrew. That leaves Ken/Tina, Marissa/Brooke, and Aja/Ty unaccounted for. We can lose only 2 teams in 2 more legs. That means one of those 3 teams actually makes it to Delhi. I will put my money on Ken/Tina. If there are 2 eliminations, they will be Melissa/Brooke (who I rate as the weakest team now in the race) and Aja/Ty (because they are shown to have a flat tire when minutes count in New Zealand).

From the contestant thread, here, (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15372.0.html) we've been speculating that Marisa and Brooke are next, as in Leg 4, with Aja & Ty to follow in the Cambodia leg. Picture proof evidence that Aja & Ty do make it to at least the Cambodia leg can be found in the link as well.

I'm thinking Kelly and Christie are eliminated after Aja and Ty. Remember Jason said that when speaking to the "texas girls" they had no idea where India even was, and thought Napal was in India? They are the only team not spotted in the Delhi airport, but they are in the Bangkok. Perhaps they make a stupid mistake in booking a flight, and end up far behind the rest.

LOL, i strongly doubt that is the reason they are eliminated.

fwiw we also speculated that this leg, New Delhi, is the first of 2 NEL, thanks to CBS laying out the map/route in detail (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15483.0.html).

Maybe the title refers to a call centre task; Gurgaon (http://www.bpotiger.com/2008/05/best_top_call_centers_from_gur.html), southwest of ND, is a call-centre hub.

We know from introflash vidcaps of throwing of colored powder (as in the Holi Festival).  There is also an element of fire in the Holi Festival as well.  (see link below)

looking at the title and linking it to the groom on the horse

Fire is a big symbolism at a hindu wedding, and in general in the Hindu religion

. The Hindu marriage ceremony consists essentially of seven steps with seven vows taken in front of Agni (the fire). The Agni, or fire, is very sacred in the Hindu religion as it is considered to be the purifier. The flame of Agni represents the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance.

This is a CRAZY title!!  Seems to me that by this point we will probably have lost Marisa & Brooke and Aja & Ty.  Just doesn't seem likely that Ken & Tina would go so soon... but you never know - I wouldn't have said that about Mark & Bill either!! (still sad about that :(  )

Well, we definitely know that Andrew & Dan, Kelly & Christy, Nick & Starr, Terence & Sarah and Toni & Dallas make it to New Delhi.  My guess is that Ken & Tina also make it there, and that both Aja & Ty and Marissa & Brooke are out by this point.  If the New Delhi leg is a non-elimination leg, then I wonder who gets the Speed Bump?  If it's Toni & Dallas, then they obviously survive because they were seen in Kazakhstan.  My guess is either Andrew & Dan or Kelly & Christy (hopefully the Frat Boys) get the Speed Bump, although it could be Ken & Tina.

I would be willing to bet Ty doesn't say this title, and they don't even make it to India :(  - makes me sad b/c I just learned from the cbs.com videos that they formed an alliance with my favorite team Terence & Sarah and now I love them even more!!

Anyway, given how behind they are at this point (after ep4) + the fact that they're seen later than ev'one else on those trucks, I'd be surprised if they catch up and someone else is eliminated

Perhaps Cambodia is a non-elimination leg and Ty's saying this during the Speed Bump task.  Or else Wikipedia is mistaken.

Hahaha my fantasy: Sarah runs off with Dallas, Terence goes crazy, says he can't race with her any more, she joins forces with Kelly & Christy and they win the whole thing!

More likely scenario: Dallas romance is actually with Starr, Aja & Ty have been eliminated before this leg (meaning he doesn't say the title), and Kelly & Christy are eliminated either this one or the next if it's NEL :(

I also think Dallas has a romance with Starr and if Aja & Ty aren't eliminated in the Cambodia leg, they're eliminated here.  If this is a non-elimination leg, I think Andrew & Dan are actually the ones that get the Speed Bump, not Kelly & Christy.

Mother Nature foils one team when a windstorm blows away their Detour.
In helping India’s taxi industry go green, racers turn a little green themselves.
A budding romance between competing racers causes their teammates to question their focus.

It's a good time to take a hard look at when teams reached the Bayon Temple pitstop and when they will likely be released, all for the purpose of estimating which flights they might get to Bangkok and then on to Delhi. So here is my take on it starting with 0700 arrival on flight 3K595:

Time to Do Each Task Efficiently-
With Camerman and Soundman, Get Through Customs speedily   30 minutes
Taxi from Siem Reap Airport to Gas Pump task                               20 minutes
Gas Pump Task                                                                               10 minutes
Be driven in back of truck to Siem Reap Dock                                 15 minutes
Be driven in motorboat to Kho Andeth                                            30 minutes
DETOUR at Kho Andeth                                                                   30 minutes
Same boat back to land near Angkor Wat                                      20 minutes
Tuk Tuk to Angkor Wat, inlcuding entry formalities                         15 minutes
Find the Echo Chamber                                                                   30 minutes
Transportation to Bayon Temple and find pitstop                           15 minutes
Fudge Factor needed to balance underestimatesof tasks              60 minutes

GRAND TOTAL                                                                                275 minutes, or 4 hours 35 minutes

That translates as follows:
Nick/Starr - ran a near-perfect leg and finished around 1135am
Toni/Dallas - ran a fine leg and finished around 1140am
Terence/Sarah - had bad luck with the boat and lost 15 minutes as a result; finished around 1155am before the half-hour speeding penalty
Ken/Tina - were near the front of the pack until Tina had trouble finding the Echo Chamber; finished maybe 1200pm
Kelly/Christy - were burned by from airport taxi driver not knowing the location; finished maybe 1205pm
Anthony/Dan - screwed up big time on not knowing how to operated the gas pump when no other team had trouble, but made up some time finding the Echo chamber; finished maybe 1215pm.

Decent flight alternatives are:
PG904 REP BKK 0950 1045 connecting to IC854 BKK DEL 1330 1615

It looks like the alternate flight connection for any lagging teams(of which none are seriously so) is:

PG906 1250 1400 REP BKK connecting to TG315 1745 2045 BKK DEL

It looks like there is an extended pitstop of at least 24 hours. Since there are no flights between 850pm and 950am, it is logical to rule out either a 12 or 36 hour pitstop. So teams will be released late evening and have a long time to wait until Siem Reap Airport will be open for morning arrivals. It looks to me that all teams will be on the best flight combination above.

Apskip, we fortunately did not have to guess much in Angkor Wat due to the many spoiler sources we had.

I posted some of the ACTUAL times (mostly 1130 to noon) of the racers doing the Roadblock here:

So some (three teams) were seen Siem Reap to Bangkok here:

Siem Reap to Bangkok--on flight w/ 3 teams>> http://myweirdmindwonders.blogspot.com/2008/05/just-to-catch-up.html

But I think this could actually be the same as what Jason described (since we know at least 5 of the teams were on that flight with him) and that other poster just didn't see all the teams...

Jason>> describes  5 teams on his flight (except for Ken/Tina) but thought there  "might have been another"

And interestingly, also from Jason: (italics mine)

Quote
On a similar note, I kind of feel a little bad about reporting my conversation with the racers (Kelly and Christy) because they look like idiots but I've decided not to say which ones they were and anyway, that's pretty much what happened so I'll leave it up. They also went the wrong way when in the airport. (Bangkok) I mentioned but didn't explain that earlier but they actually passed through customs when everyone else went directly to the international terminal. I felt terrible for them because the cameras were on them the whole time as they stood in baggage claim trying to figure out what to do to get to the international departures and the cameraman and sound guy just stand there staring at them without saying a word obviously. It's very surreal.

Perhaps this is why we don't see them in the Delhi Airport Immigration pictures from Alicia?? Could that have caused them to miss IC 854?? :duno:

Peach, the actual times of racers doing the Roadblock are nice, but the pitstop times are even better. It appears based on the information you have provided(which I obviously did not use since I was deriving the estimated timing piece-by-piece) that my times for the tasks are about one hour less than the expected actual from your report. I will go back and add a one-hour fudge factor to accumulate the total extra differences through all of the tasks.

peach they obviously don't miss their flight  because in the extended preview you can see Kelly/Christy in the shot with tony/Dallas at the detour.

but when Andrew and Dan are there nobody is in the shot? so  are they in the lead or in the back?

Please Hold While I Singe My Skull
Mother Nature foils one team when a windstorm blows away their Detour.
In helping India’s taxi industry go green, racers turn a little green themselves.
A budding romance between competing racers causes their teammates to question their focus.
One racer lashes out as their team reaches its boiling point.

Windstorm = Frat boys
Racers get green paint on themselves
Dallas/Star so mom and brother aren't happy

racer lashing out either Sarah or Terence at each other by the looks of it

Michael well spotted on the detour

what i also find interesting is that the taxi ride with the manglers is in the daylight and the detour is in the dark.

Sunset was at 6.59pm

looking at weather data for May 6th

A budding romance between competing racers causes their teammates to question their focus.
One racer lashes out as their team reaches its boiling point.

Apparently, a windstorm gives Andrew & Dan a really bad day at the Detour!  If teams get green paint on them, that might explain clue #2.  Clue #3 obviously refers to Dallas & Starr, so Toni and especially Nick question their focus.  I think Clue #4 is Ken lashing out at Tina at last but it could also refer to Terence & Sarah.

Anyway, I think Andrew & Dan finish last but are spared by a non-elimination leg.

So the auto rickshaw painting/Roadblock comes first

I see who I think is Christy in her dark pink tank top along with Andrew, Toni & Dallas and of course Ken and Tina ..bunched

I wonder if they have a task to do before the roadblock? and I want to check sunset times in New Delhi as well.

Alicia, who took the Delhi immigration photos tells us ..between 3&7pm she witnessed the teams.

"In my original email I had said May 7th, but we just looked at our calendar and it should have actually been the 6th of May. The time is disputed (between my husband and I). The photo says one time, but that could have been Thailand time and it could have been inaccurate to begin with. It was definitely late afternoon, early evening. Likely between 3pm and 7pm. We had a long layover and have since gotten rid of the tickets."

we see at least N&S and K&T in taxi's while its still daylight

Choice of this nonstop flights from BKK to DEL:

It looks like the alternate flight connection for any lagging teams is:

We KNOW that a group of teams were on IC 854 for sure

So I bet they do this at night  then have some HofOp thing--TAR loves to make them sleep in the streets of India and then continue in the AM.. or is the wedding stuff at night too?

but I could see the go find the groom being first, unfortunately its inside so we can't see if its dark outside.  Also we see both racers doing this.

by the by Hindu weddings are LOOOOOOOOONNNG and these look like they are celebrating after the cermony which would put it in the late afternoon/evening.

with the manglers in the Taxi I think they have that initial shocked reaction that a lot of racers do when they first are in a taxi driving through the streets of India.

I think this is an elimination point, like the double leg in Burkina Faso last year.

.......So you think find the groom is the task all teams have to do before the Detours & Roadblock? to get a clue?

I think the laundry and finding the groom are the Detours.  Those doing laundry are not shown in the looking for the groom part of the preview and vice versa.

I couldn't quite tell what Kelly was saying but it sounded like something about washing and again or could have been most anything.

The K/C laundry scenes appear to be outside, under lights and it's dark.  The Wedding elephant is being shown in the dark.

I just rewatched the preview and Sarah says "we searched the reception for ONE of the grooms" so I think that's it--there is only one right one to find in all that crowd.

patlini--is it common to have a "group" reception? It is interesting that they don't say search the the receptionS so you get the idea it is all one big one.

I agree though patlini--I'll take a party over doing laundry any day!  :funny:

That may be patlini and Peach, but don't you think that World Race Productions knows that? They do and that motivated them to design DETOURs where the easy-appearing part will be offfset by some negative factor and the more difficult part will have some positive feature. The net result is that about half should be motivated to elect the hard one and half the easy one. A related issue is that sometimes one is luck-based (Find the Groom) and the other one involves a harder task that is more predictable(iron clothes).

Going to find the right groom among a lot of people can be pretty hard if you don't know how the groom is dressed and if the groom's outfit is different from those of the other wedding guests.  I'd probably iron clothes -- only not in a sandstorm!

As of 2005, there were 57 official ghats in Delhi (here (http://www.hindu.com/2005/08/06/stories/2005080612710400.htm), last story); production wouldn't go to an unlicensed place, but that still leaves us with dozens to choose from. There are pages at the MCD site (they have an interesting map here (http://app.mapmyindia.com/mcdApp/)) that claim the govt. is going to map the ghats, but they either keep the map well hidden or they never got around to it. A couple of search terms from social-worker documents here (http://www.labourfile.org/ArticleMore.aspx?ID=934) and here (http://www.ccsindia.org/interns2002/04.pdf):

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking -- nobody knows how a groom looks at an Indian wedding ceremony and as a result one or more teams think that all the guys look the same!

In the thread with the Poll re: Team Losing It Puddin states:

"I don't see any signs of a Fast Forward this leg, although we don't see Nick and Starr doing any tasks, yet."


I have been thinking a big maybe for a  FF for Nick and Starr since they are only shown in the cab in the previews.  If the peppers are very, very hot then maybe that's a FF.

               I do think the Boiled Sheep's Head looks like it could be FF in Kazakhstan.

The rickshaws are probably being painted at night during down time for the drivers.

Since they are basically going across town I'm thinking this is a TBC.  New Delhi and Old Delhi

Is it possible for a NEL to not have a pitstop?  IMO it seems ridiculous to have a pitstop then leave 12 hrs later to go across town.  Did I miss something to come up with this idea?  I have read the threads and watched the previews but I may be way off base on this thought.

These are things I have been thinking about.

Belle Book


If this is true, than this means Kelly & Christy will be in the final 3. I remember reading that Phil said one of the teams in the final 3 won't finish the race because they are famous for making mistakes. We all know that was either Kelly & Christy and Andre & Dan. So if Dandrew get eliminated, it is likely Kelly & Christy will come in 3rd Place.

heres my current Dream List (w Spoilers)
1. Toni & Dallas
2. Nick & Starr
3. Kelly & Christy
4. Ken & Tina
5. Sarah & Terrence
6. Dan & Andrew
7. Aja & Ty
8. Marisa & Brooke
9. Mark & Bill
10. Anth & Steph
11. Anita & Arthur
