Title: TAR15 EP9: "We’re Not Meant for the Swamp" (Estonia)

Tallinn, Estonia 8/3
CBS Press: Sunday, Nov. 15 THE AMAZING RACE— (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)Teams travel to Estonia and decipher a message in an ancient brotherhood lair and then slog through the bogs to play a wild muddy game of volleyball. Phil Keoghan hosts.
Tallinn, Estonia by primefun (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,18840.msg436828.html#msg436828) *Hi guys, im a long time reader of this forum, now finally had a chance to post as i have something worth posting... mate of mine is right now on a ferry with the TAR teams, the ferry goes from Sweden to Estonia, they are supposed to arrive in Tallinn at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning... will surely go there to have a look only info i got was that he personally saw like 3-4 teams... any last minute suggestions for tomorrow morning? **
The ferry is for sure Tallink which goes between Stockholm and Tallinn, it departs stockholm at 5:45 p.m. and arrives in tallinn at 10 a.m. the following morning.
Ok bad news guys, we were circling around the town now for 2 hours asking people if they had seen people running around with backpacks and cameras and no luck, all the witnesses only saw them in the morning, so i think they went off from tallinn or are not in center, we still have our "spy" waiting in the place which we suspect as the pitstop mat but no news so far so im afraid this might be it... thanks for everyone and i enjoyed seeing amazing race being produced in front of me.
besides, i dont see no operation hours sign anywhere. Maybe they were given a key and they were trying to open the door? Or they had to get a key in some detour? or was it part of a detour where they first had to get the key and then enter the building to finish the detour? :(
Blog find by uycocoa (http://logan-baker.blogspot.com/2009/08/amazing.html) SPEAKING OF AMAZING... I was in Tallinn today with the interns and the GC&SU team that served at Brett's camp, and while we were there we wandered into the square in Old Towne. I heard one of the guys say, "They're filming something over there...wait, isn't that the guy from 'The Amazing Race?'"
My head whipped around to where they were pointing, and I yelled out "Phil!!!" Yes, it was in fact Phil Keoghan, host of "The Amazing Race," filming a segment for what I guess was the Estonian leg of my favorite reality show EVER. I almost peed myself. I'm not even ashamed to admit it. It was incredible.
The craziest part about it is that my mom and I had just had a full conversation about the show on Wednesday when we were talking on Skype. We've been talking about applying for the show for awhile now, but we have to wait until I'm 21 so I'll be eligible to race. We explained our full strategy to Chris the other night...when we're one the show, we will be the crazy Christian women that praise Jesus and throw our competitors under the bus. We will annihilate the competition.
Really, I just took the moment as a sign from God that I am definitely supposed to be on the show. Then my beloved Phil and I will be reunited, and I won't have to worry about the production people coming up to me and asking me not to yell at him and to avoid standing in the back of the frame and staring.
postimees news article (http://www.postimees.ee/?id=148842) translated by and thanks to primetime
"Postimees managed today to chase up the competitors of the amazing race, we ran through 2 check points with them. We received information that the world-known show Amazing Race has reached Tallinn and the first destination is the "house of the black heads". So we had to go and check it out.
Before noon the front of the house was pretty quiet, except for a lady hanging around the place and who wouldnt give out a single comment. After a while 2 girls showed up who were running up the Pikk street looking for the "house of the black heads" and asking the local construction workers about the destination.
After knocking on the door they were let in where they supposedly had to solve some tasks to receive information about their next destination. Soon the ladies were running towards an information point in the Harju street while asking for help from the locals. The fact that the next destination was the Hermann tower we managed to find out only from the information point as the questions asked from the cast and and cameramen were left unanswered.
While on their way there the girls were discussing among themselves and assuming they would be the fastest team but upon reaching the clue box their joy diminished as they pulled out the last clue.
After that we managed to lose the team who ran towards the downtown. Asking from the local salesmen revealed 3 or 4 teams had been around an hour ago looking for the same clue box in Hermanni tower.
How many teams are still running in the competition we didnt find out but based on a clue received from our reader we can assume there were at least 5 teams competing. Also we found out the teams arrived at 10 a.m. from sweden on board the ship Victoria

Blog (http://whitecruise.blogspot.com/2009/08/estonia-where.html) We walked along the back of Old Town up to Toompea Castle where there were great views of the city and the Gulf of Finland. The Castle dates back to the 13th Century and is fronted by the town’s Parliament house, which is PINK! We wandered into a small park next to the Castle where Shawn spotted a red and yellow post normally used in the reality show “Amazing Race.” Just a few minutes later in barrels a panting camera man running in front of two of the teams! They frantically looked around the park for the clue (which was the post) and as I caught eyes with the girl from the yellow team I pointed toward the other side of the park where the clue was waiting. Ha! Imagine that? Of all places in the world you happen to see the Amazing Race being filmed in TALLINN! (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR15/th_AmazingRaceatTalinnPark.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR15/AmazingRaceatTalinnPark.jpg) Credits: Plaidmoon
The Trotter crew in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C--KnZTL6L0) and Primefun's video don't seem very energetic, but that might be misleading; anyway, the Trotters start sprinting once they reach the top of the street.
No, we did not follow Herb and Nat and heard nothing about them, so we have no idea where they went.
In my opinion, I think Herb and Nat were moving slowly due to the massive backpack they were carrying... but I could be wrong. I think the park they came out of could be a stop or something. Sorry I am not familiar with TAR terminology. I followed a few previous, earlier seasons and enjoyed them but I am not a big fan like you are.
For your information, the weather that morning was cloudy but it improved a lot in the afternoon. So if you see any other pics or videos that day of a sunny Tallinn with blue skies then it is an afternoon shot.
The closest spot I could find is Lossi Plats (http://www.pbase.com/bmcmorrow/image/81937069), next to the Nevsky church and below the castle. (map here (http://www.tallinn-map.info/sp_images/Tallinn_Toompea.swf); the trouble is, they would seem to be heading in the other direction, towards St. Marys)
Can he get the exact time from his video file time stamp?
He says:
Quote
I did not set the time on my video so there is no time stamp. But I checked our photos and the last photo we took before we saw them was 10:56am. I think we saw them a minute or two later.

I'd found the SWAMP in Estonia! It's located in Korvemaa Swamp, and I think that could be a pit stop? http://www.worldisround.com/articles/7729/index.html (http://www.worldisround.com/articles/7729/index.html)

Unfortunately, if you open up the wiki map (http://wikimapia.org/#lat=59.44&lon=24.74&z=11&l=0&m=b&search=bog) and select bog as a search term, you get 6 bogs all within 10 miles of Old Town. And as Boingo pointed out about sand dunes, one bog looks pretty much like any other.

:lol: Who knew Tallinn peat bogs could be such a tourist attraction. :funny: :res:
Tallinn bog tourism (http://www.tourism.tallinn.ee/bmenu/convention/incentive_ideas/nature)
eta: According to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahemaa_National_Park) article, the Lahemaa National Park "is one of the main tourism drawcards in Estonia" Just happens to be the site of the Viru Bog (but it's about 50 miles outside of Tallinn). meh.... :res:

could someone decipher this? It's a comment left on one of Primefuns videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C--KnZTL6L0).
Quote
nägin neid kollaseid tüüpe täna päenu mntl (karnevali juures) otsisid mingit maja vms. teisi tiime polnud
I get ... :lol:
Quote
I saw these yellow type of päenu mntl today (at the carnival), looking for any house or other. the other was tiime
Found a Pärnu, I take it the poster either witnessed Ericka and Brian OR a cluebox :lol: ? I Dunno?
"I saw those yellow guys at Päenu street today (near the Carnival). They were looking for a house. There were no other teams."
Karnevali could mean a carnival or a place called Karnevali.

Peach: I have been poiking around a map of Tallinn and trying to find address on Paenu St. I actually found one on Google for Sestela AS on Paenu Mnt. Street. I haven't located where Paenu St. is. However, I have come up with an alternative. Sestela AS is listed on MSN with the same number on Parnu Maantee St., which is one of the major roads going south out of the center of Tallinn. See map below and recognize that the best viewing of this will be on the 6th notch on the downward scale (adjacent to CITY marking):

Ok the person in the comment is referring to a Carnival Shop in Pärnu Mnt (short for "maantee"), it is a rather long street starting in the center of tallinn and going all the way to the edge of the city. From what i understand from this comment the shop itself had nothing to do with any of the tasks, he/she was just refferring to which part of Pärnu Mnt they had seen ericka and brian.

I don't know if I can post this here but oh well.
There is something I don't understand:
Sam and Dan are doing the Mud Detour while Meghan and Cheyne (most likely) are there too. Once they have finished the task, they run to the pitstop in a race against the Globetrotters. However, don't we know taht it is Flight Time and Big Easy that are out?
The question is: What are Meghan and Cheyne doing still in the Mud Task while the team who will be last is in front of them?
We clearly see that Sam and Dan are in front of them.
Correct me if I'm wrong!

They may very well be running to the pitstop but its not clear if the Globetrotters or Pinky and The Brains are out next, you guess?

Are you thinking decoys?

Who says they race to the Pitstop? ??? Coould just be to cars or another part of the challenge, or whatever, they may have a ways to go.
We know that either Matt/Gary OR the Trotters go, but it is not a 100% sure which one. There is some vague report of a pink haired guy being seen at the Prague Castle, which IS supposed to be the Pitstop there.
Why is everyone else in their undies and the Trotters get shorts and T-shirts??

I see theres a wooden path through Nigula Nature Reserve, Estonia (http://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/wetland/baltic/baltic.htm).
A nature study path has been laid at the nature reserve, including a 6.8-kilometer-long boarded walk.

Poor Matt and Gary. Their lowkey attitude really impresses me; that's how you should experience the Race. At least I still have the GTs!

I think this [Estonia] leg will be either another NEL or a TBC leg, then the 5 remaining team will be flying to their next destination and that'll be Prague. Who knows? :duno:
Title: Re: TAR15 EP9: "We’re Not Meant for the Swamp" (Estonia)
Post by: georgiapeach on November 09, 2009, 05:03:40 AM
VERY unlikely to be two NEL's back to back.
I believe:
This leg DOES have a speedbump, and MIGHT have a U-Turn as Season 12 did.
There is one more NEL, most likely in Prague.
I do not believe we have any TBC's this time. :angel

Ouch, that fall looks painful. Sam and Dan and the Globetrotters are gonna have an intense rivalry from this leg. And looking at how Matt's struggling at the Roadblock, coupled with their Speed Bump, this leg looks really bleak for them. =(

Post by: primefun on November 09, 2009, 12:06:35 PM
Regarding Matt and Gary... now that I remember upon arriving in Pikk street the first team I encountered was Matt and Gary and this is the first footage i took upon arrival http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exIWW8m_yDA AND those guys started running in a complete opposite direction to where the other teams ran afterwards... i believe that while i was trying to chase gary and matt the other teams were inside the blackheads house... i ran behind gary and matt for like a minute but then thought that may be they were the first ones there and other teams are yet to arrive thats why i returned to house of the blackheads, upon arriving there i saw Brian and Ericka and Meghan and Cheyne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7oahGGZnHs (may be you can hear my heavy breathing in the background as i had just run back from chasing gary and matt)... after that i left house of the blackheads chasing those 2 teams across old town up to toompea (the cluebox in the park) where globetrotters were also spotted in a video shot by someone else (you have it in the first post of this thread)...
sooo my assumption is that - 3 teams out of 5 are confirmed to have been spotted in toompea (2 of them by me) then why gary and matt ran in different direction, might have been just bad directions but i dont believe that as after those 10 seconds of hesitation visible in my video they ran off like olympic sprinters seeming very confident in where they were heading - my bets are they were running to a speedbump?
could someone with keener eyes have a look at the video of gary and matt and see what clues they are holding? or even what they are saying?

It looks like Dan and Sam have a detour clue as do the Globetrotters , probably on the way to the Mud (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR15/ep9/rff-0148.jpg)

Thank you CBS. Now we know that Sam & Dan are not playing volleyball with Cheyene & Meghan. That explains why C&M are not running down the boardwalk with Sam & Dan plus the Trotters.

Gary asking if they have "seen" something and I hear Matt joke "do you have a cell phone?"

primefun, Gary and Matt have to do a speedbump that no other team has to do sometime in this episode. So it is totally possible that they ARE lookinng for a task in a different place from all the other racers...

Soomaa National Park is about 100 miles south of Tallinn and is known for its swamps and bogs (Soomaa means "land of bogs" in Estonian). Surprisingly, swimming is popular and is said to rejuvenate the skin.
Lahemaa National Park is about 50km east of Tallinn and is a place to find some nice forests, seaside and swamps and bogs. One of the most suggested place to go there is Viru raba (Viru bog), that has 5km foottrack and watching tower. You can also start and finish in same location if You go to tower and back or take a round trip back to start around the bog. There are good maps and information tables at the track.
Kaberneeme village is about 40km east of Tallinn on the coast. The village has 2km long beach area with pine tree forests edging right up to the shore.

Swamp volleyball got its start not far away in Finland, part of which is only about 50 miles from the northern part of Estonia:
from 18 until 20 July the town of Hyrynsalmi hosted the Swamp Football World Championships.
It is said that this sport also originated from Finland, where it was used as a training method for athletes and soldiers. As the soft ground made it harder to play, it was seen as a physically more demanding way to play football.
The first Finnish Championships were held in 1998, and the event grew to world championship status in 2000. These days there are an estimated 260 swamp football teams around the world.
Only a week from the Swamp Football World Championships, the town of Haukivuori held the Swamp Volleyball World Championships.

After completing a task in Tallinn, they had a clue that said only "Tarsi talu, Raplamaa" and three teams acted together and stopped a van and asked the driver for this place. And believe it or not - the driver knew and took all 3 teams there. They were expected around 2-3 pm, but they arrived about 11:30. When they arrived, they all (3 teams) ran off to the wrong direction and made an enormous circle before arriving to the right spot. And the volleyball event itself was supposed to be hilarious :D

And he is also the one who made that hiking trail to the watchtower (about 1 mile long) and owns the land until the volleyball field. Basically it's an area that you can rent for different events ....

...they had 3 meals a day and I know that the support crew of the race stayed there. Because they had their own cooks and everything in the crew (even though site offers catering), I suppose the racers stayed there for the night as well. And taking that and the things I saw in the video (--peach- I sent the preview video)- I'm pretty sure that the watchtower is the pitstop
I have asked for clarification on the exact place names...

Parking puzzle: In Primefun's first video, we hear Meghan telling the cab driver "...26, and we'll run the rest of the way." Filling in the blanks (guessing), I get Get us as close as you can to Pikk 26, and we'll run the rest of the way. The driver must have let them off at the bottom of Olevimagi street (short trip; they could have walked from the port through the Fat Margaret gate and straight down Pikk); in the next video we can see them running up the hill on Olevimagi (seen here (http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/12972487.jpg) where it joins with Pikk) just a few doors down from the Blackheads. OK, fair enough; according to this parking map (http://www.yhisteenused.ee/upload/uus_ala_suur.jpg) large portions of Old Town are pedestrian zones and the cars we see must be local permit tags. But in Primefun's other video we see Montana outside the Blackhead door (you can see a sign--Baltic Tours--which is right across the street at Pikk 31) next to a cab asking for a cellphone. ??? Some cabs are allowed through but others aren't? And why would you need a cellphone? The invisible-ink parchment they got almost certainly told them to proceed on foot to Hermann tower.

I don't think so racer, based on Dan and Sam's confessional and then we see what appears to another team or teams being filmed when the race to the pitstop occurs... sadly not looking good for Gary and Matt. I wish we knew the other detour option (:;) , probably a chance thing.

I think from Caelestor i think Caelestor is correct as the other detour involve in the Bog.. so is nearby..
As Brian and Erika is shown running in the bog, but there are not in the volley ball place.. Unless they are done for the volley ball already and is first or doing other detour option

or they are first and done the volley ball already..

In a video showing the teams arrive in Estonia, we see M/C, S/D, GT's & B/E coming out of the terminal and running for a taxi. G/M were not seen. Towards the end of the video, there is a car racing away but I did not see pink anywhere. I am guessing it might have been additional cameramen trying to beat the teams to their next destination? :duno:
Being that G/M were last to arrive at the PS last week, what if they missed the first ferry? The eyewitness, er, friend of the eyewitness, said they only saw 3-4 teams on the ferry, right? Was there another ferry not far behind the first one that G/M may have been on? ;)

IF, (big IF there) the PTB decide that either a trotter or a brother purposely tripped the other team, could we be looking at a penalty of some kind?

Has any team every been penalized for tripping or otherwise impeding the progress of another team in previous seasons?
Mark & Michael were penalised for tampering with the Thai rickshaw pumps, but I don't think anyone has ever been penalised for physically impeding the progress of another team.
Probably would have been something that BVM would love to put in the previews and official press release.
"One team gets a penalty for the first time ever on The Amazing Race for physically impeding the progress of another team..."
Actually, anything MIGHT happen.
For all we know, Gary and Matt might be attempting the other Detour which is actually the better and faster choice.. and since Brian and Ericka were not shown at the Swamp Volleyball, which means that they could have gone for the other Detour... and Meghan and Cheyne completed theirs already... That would probably put Sam and Dan and FT/BE in last place and be in a fight to avoid elimination? :duno:

In a video showing the teams arrive in Estonia, we see M/C, S/D, GT's & B/E coming out of the terminal and running for a taxi. G/M were not seen. Towards the end of the video, there is a car racing away but I did not see pink anywhere. I am guessing it might have been additional cameramen trying to beat the teams to their next destination? :duno:
Being that G/M were last to arrive at the PS last week, what if they missed the first ferry? The eyewitness, er, friend of the eyewitness, said they only saw 3-4 teams on the ferry, right? Was there another ferry not far behind the first one that G/M may have been on? ;)
Luceybell, the ferry schedules have been covered many weeks ago, probably before you joined RFF. There were 2 daily ferry options, one to Tallinn and the other to Helsinki, switching to a ferry to Tallinn and arriving 6 hours later. The next ferry arriving Tallinn is the next day, or 18 hours after the best-fit ferry arriving from Helsinki and 24 hours after the original ferry nonstop to Tallinn.

Well i look at it this way.
Would this ever work? Erika+Mud.
I would think no. She would want to do the other task.
Is it possible that the "other team" we see in the back ground are the Estonian Volleyball players. Maybe?

The question I keep looking at is
We see Cheyne clearly arriving at the mud before any other teams, it seems.
If B/E, FT/BE. and S/D all arrive together, would M/C have had time to already finish the task? Are there any screenshots of M/C in the mud with other teams??
There seems to be two people running in the background in this shot...
Has any team every been penalized for tripping or otherwise impeding the progress of another team in previous seasons?
Illegally, aside from Mark/Mike, as puddin said, no. Legally, that would be the Yield/U-Turn. :funny:
And speaking of U-Turns, I really think there's one this leg with Sam & Dan U-Turning Herb & Nate. They use it, but Gary & Matt are so behind FT/BE still beat 'em? :P
ETA: Meaning I think it's ferry --> RB --> Speed Bump --> Detour --> U-Turn --> Random Task/Pit Stop. Very odd putting a U-Turn right before the Pit Stop, but hey, maybe they'll try it. And I think Meghan & Cheyne are behind this leg, but I can never say for sure with these two. :funny:

Zeta Psi here, long team reader, first time poster. What I caught and I dont think was mentioned is that the 'Trotters probably finished before the Brothers, cuz if you notice, They took the time to put their clothes back on, whereas the brothers once they finished started darting towards the the next leg, and that made the trotters chase after them. My guess, which was stated before, is that Meghan and Cheyne finish first. And Brian and Ericka do the non-physical challenge, along with Matt and his dad. But I have to imagine that speed bump hurts the father son enough to push them out. But man if they put the U-Turn in this leg, then I have no idea what's going to happen.

There are two people in that shot...heading past the mudpit.
I do agree that the other detour has to be very nearby, so always possible another (non-mud) team could come by as well??
I have no idea if it is a team, or production, or random Estonian volleyballers.
But if the PitStop IS the Watchtower, they may be heading that way...

Just speculating....
IF the Trotter/Bro's collision was possibly determined to be deliberate, AND there was an assessed time penalty...perhaps that would be enough to knock the Trotters into last place. ???
Would REALLY hate them to go that way though...I'd rather think of them as doing well!
SO many little mysteries......
U-Turn? Penalties?? The other Detour?? :funny:

That quote about the penality is NOT a CBS quote, it was from another poster I believe, saying that if there was a penalty that would be the press release we would have seen. As far as I know, CBS has not released anything regarding a penalty.

So many what ifs this week. One point to remember is that there is no love lost between the brothers and the trotters. After the alleged taxi fiasco prior to the mud volleyball, they could be all out racing each other simply because they don't like each other. My 2 cents in regards to a U-turn. Would TPTB really put a u-turn right before a pit stop? Isn't it usually in the middle, so the team u-turned at least has a chance to catch back up? Plus I think if there was a u-turn, and since we "think" Meg/Cheyne may be in 1st place, they would be the ones to u-turn the trotters. They want them gone as much as Dan/Sam, and I can see M/C being confident in beating D/S in the end. And doesn't CBS usually like to hype the u-turns? My gut is still saying NO u-turn this week.
Hopefully we get some new promos today...I don't want to wait until tomorrow night for some of these answers!!!

No they wouldn't, its someones speculation, we have no proof that there is a U-Turn at the pitstop :lol: The CBS clue states that the clash happens on the way to the pitstop not on the way to the Cluebox. IMO if they were racing to first place or to avoid elimination CBS would have hyped it up. An no. I do not think there is any penalty, did Luke or Jen receive a penalty? NO! I see Phil as playing the arbitrator again though. :browsie: I agree with you littlewop.

I don't think that this should be taken as evidence of anything. There have been times when certain teams have not taken into account the existence of other teams before. Anyone could make a simple mistake like this.
What leg does that confessional actually belong to? Were Sam & Dan wearing green/orange on Leg 8?

No, no, no. I meant that when they say the Globetrotters are the only other male team, that does not mean that Gary & Matt are not still in the race. Plus, sometimes the teams give retrospective confessionals in order to keep them from spoiling the outcome. So the Globies could still be eliminated on this episode, and the producers just had Sam & Dan give that confessional segment to keep from spoiling the outcome.
But I do think that Gary & Matt will be eliminated this time. :'(

But here's the thing that actually doesn't make sense. Gary and Matt ARE an all male team, (unless we don't know something that they do...)
I would think that with "the other all-male team" Sam & Dan were just referring to another possible threat.
First..thank you for the video puddin!! :hearts:
Next...does anyone else think that is EDITED? There is a definite jump..a pause...between the words "They are the other"....and......"all male team". I know enough to know that the racer's words are often used out of context and edited to fit what TPTB need. Soundbites are frequently edited to fit the need.
With that kind of gap...the original line could have been something like "They are the other fit, athletic all male team".... see how editing makes a difference? We could be getting some classic misdirection here.
I am totally not saying that the Gary/Matt are not the ones who go, but I find I am reluctant to base that on this confessional alone.
I also have that nagging feeling about the sighting in Prague.... G/M could have been decoys...but if so should NOT have been with M/C, are not usually at the PitStop at all, and it would be very unusual for a source to invent a pink-haired team.
My feeling is that we honestly don't know for sure who goes this time, between G/M and the Trotters. But a footrace to the MAT for last place would be amazingly tense..and a little heartbreaking too. And might explain the altercation, whether intended or accidental.
Just thinking out loud!
But boy...makes a big difference in placements if we think Dan/Sam and the Trotters are fighting it out for second place, as compared to last! :ascared

Someone went through a lot of trouble to fabricate the Masada supposed spoiler as well as the Mauritius fake spoiler.
Meghan and Cheyne are seen working together to get to the roadblock Gary and Matt have a speedbump .. somewhere and then the detour It appears Cheyne and Meghan arrive first at the mudpit from the eyewitness Brian/Ericka The Trotters and the Brothers arrive together at the detour, share the same cab ..and they all arrived earlier than anticipated, hours early. We don't know the other detour and if Brian and Ericka choose that? They could be first to the pitstop too? I think I see a team or teams being filmed behind Sam and Dan, assuming here that they have completed the detour and are on their way to the pitstop with the Trotters in tow. We lose Matt and Gary after their street scene in Tallin looking for a taxi probably. Not seen at the detour but doesn't mean they aren't there. And come on, wouldn' the male teams have an edge in the volleyball pit? My take is the way they are running they are racing for first place.
just my 2 cents which could be completly off but its what I think and Gary and Matt, sadly are eliminated. All they need is a bad cab driver/bad directions to put them even farther behind.

Post by: NoluckBoston on November 14, 2009, 09:04:16 PM
I agree with Puddin -
Unless the other task involved farming of some sort; you know Gary and Matt would choose the mud task. The editing up until now has always had them say things like they enjoy getting dirty.
I just feel that they are going to choose that mud task. Its very possible they are the team being video taped behind Sam.
I have thought about this scenario if you were Sam/Dan or the Trotters.
Meghan and Cheyne Have left the detour and are on there way to the pitstop. Brian and Erika are missing and may have already completed the the other detour. Now Gary and Matt show up and you don't want them catching up to you to the pit stop. This would cause panic and flight
I think both teams are running so not to fall behind to Gary and Matt back at the detour.

Okay TAR historians, have we ever had a NEL followed immediately by a TBC? Could TPTB be trying to shake things up this year?
It seems very unlikely to me that Gary/Matt actually do so well this week, given the promos & the speedbump, that they beat both of the other male teams to the pit stop. But the spotting of them in Prague makes me question whether they really are eliminated this week.
So we either have some creative editing (regarding Matt's difficulties) or the trotters get a penalty that knocks them out or the sightings in Prague are misleading or a TBC leg....hmmmm ?????????
I think, for me, this is the most anticipated episode of the season...so many questions need answered.

This has happened only once before and it was in the Family Edition. The Weavers got the NEL in Salt Lake City, Utah, and then there was a TBC before the Godlewskis got eliminated.

Of course, Tallinn could be another NEL. The probability is low, though. Besides, I would be mad if it is.

This one I have played with as well...
And I see a camera guy racing directly behing Nate...but cannot be clear about any other filming. I wonder if this is just the production "huddle" ?? There is one at every task...production, sometimes BVM, aides, in this case maybe extra volleyballers.... but there could be more going on re another team, I just can't be sure.

SO trying to think this through...and I am just speculating so feel free to tell me if/where I go astray:
Matt/Gary are not seen at the ferry. Is that because they had already gone thru before primefun arrived?? Or did they come through after he left to go chase the teams. That could be the difference between first and last at that point. Have asked primefun which he thinks is more likely, hope to hear.
Primefun saw Gary/Matt in PIKK street first, clue in hand already, right? SO presumably after Matt had done the RB. He had time to chase them for a bit, before returning to the Blackhead house and starting to follow M/C, D/S, and B/E. SO at that point there was a fair bit of bunching.
But if he saw G/M already with the clue before the other teams....does that imply that they were FIRST at that point?? If they slipped off the ferry before he arrived, it could be possible. NOTICE I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS FACT, just trying to cover all of our bases. :lol:
But as puddin says, placement at that point doesn't really matter, a bad taxi could negate all lead they might possibly have had anyway. But then again, with a good taxi....
Just wondering. :duno:

I support this theory. Through the Sam & Dan filter it would be purposeful tripping.

From what I've seen it looks as if FT trips first and then makes a wild grab for anything that can hold him up. The Anything in this case being Samuel and Daniel.

Post by: Lucybell on November 15, 2009, 09:40:12 AM
I do believe, and smell a penalty coming for FT/BE.. it seems as though they really did push Sam or Dan down. It was pretty foul play. Just replay the video a few more times and you'll realise that Sam/Dan was in first.. but FT or BE caught up and sort of grabbed/pushed them??
Quote
What if Flight Time says that Dan shoved him first justifying his actions? We do see FT go down first then he comes back to tackle Dan. I'm telling you I expect a slow motion replay at the pitstop
I too have watched the video over and over again. Although CBS could be editing the heck out of this, it looks to me like Herb fell twice or at least almost fell and then did fall. GT's were behind the brothers so for Herb to say the brothers started it would seem to be a lie. Herb definitely had his hand on Dan's shoulder at the last fall. So what it looked like to me was that Herb fell or almost fell, recovered and grabbed Dan's shoulder as he was falling again. Was it to deliberately take Dan out or was he simply trying to break his second fall? Either way, Dan was back on his feet before Herb and most likely S/D beat the GT's to the pitstop.
IMO If Herb deliberately tried to take Dan down, they need to incur a penalty. The Luke and Jen thing doesn't even come close to this. It was kind of even there. Jen pushed him, he elbowed her. (Love you Luke! :-* ) If Herb was merely trying to break his fall ... :duno: If he was close enough to be able to grab hold of him, he should have gone around him! :knuckles: CBS might not be hyping this up because they want us to form our own opinions of what went down and tune in to see the outcome. If they hyped it up with talk of a penalty, most would definitely think, and possibly rightly so, that the GT's would be eliminated if they got a penalty. That would kind of spoil it, right? ;)

To me, it looks like Flight Time trips, grabs Dan because he's the closest thing, and falls. I mean...
He walks off the path and as a result, trips and falls.
And for the "second fall", what type of person tackles sideways? So... it really seems more like a trip to me...

What do you think about having a TBC in this season? Some people said something about it, but I really think that, maybe, there can be a TBC in Vienna, as last season. The TBC didn't require teams to leave the city where they were, and maybe the same happens this season, making this Tallin's leg a EL, and the last NEL (that would be in Vienna) as a TBC. Maybe this makes sense to some of you?

I think Vienna will be an NEL of some sort because in recent history they have done it that way.

DavidMV, Are you certain you havn't mistaken Vienna for the actual city for Episodes 10 adn 11? CBS has confirmed Prague with their Map and RFF has known it to be Prague for months.
I do agree with you major point that it would be ideal for a TBC. I love TBCs compared to NELs. I hope that the renewed trend staretd by AR14 of having one TBC in a season continues.

That could be the difference between first and last at that point. Have asked primefun which he thinks is more likely, hope to hear.
I thought they were seen on the ferry? I definitely remember seeing Cheyne/Megan and Brian/Ericka on the ferry, I could've sworn the pictures were of Matt and Gary getting interviewed.

Yes they were on the ferry.
But they are not seen getting OFF the ferry in primefun's videos...that's what i mean.
Hang on...incoming!!

Post by: georgiapeach on November 15, 2009, 10:59:07 AM
Okay, I know I am puzzling this half to death but I really want to make all our pieces fit. I asked primefun what he thought about Gary and Matt at the ferry...could they have been first off? Was he there in time to see them? Could they have been last off, and hence missed??
I also really think that there is a good possibility G/M finish the RB in first place, before heading off to do the Speedbump.
So I sent my list of Q's off to primefun, and here is what he kindly replied.
Quote
- I was waiting at the ferry like an half an hour before the teams finally arrived, so i was there like 9:30 a.m. just standing there and waiting, was plotting to leave my car somewhere near to give them a ride if needed which made me nervous cause my car was parked in an illegal spot lol. So i was there nothing was happeneing and then suddenly BOOM! all these teams and cameramen ran out, it all happened so fast that i personally cannot remember any details, I was so busy filming it and all of this is in the first video... so like i said it all happened very fast and i think it is highly likely that i might have missed a team although i did get my camera out asap but there is a great chance one team could have ran also into the other side of the taxi stand, if you look at my first video at 13 seconds you can see there is some running/commotion goin on at the other side of the taxi stand too.
- So i basically left right after shooting the first video but this obviously gave the teams a head start as compared to me plus at the old town you cannot park everywhere thus i was struggling finding a parking spot upon arriving in pikk street, i think thanks to this i lost another couple of minutes, so it is hard to tell if i was there before the teams but i would think i was the last to arrive. Upon arrival next to the House of the blackheads i saw gary and matt and no other team (i think this might have been around 10:15 a.m.) and started following them into wrong direction, then ran back and saw ericka/brian and cheyne/meghan and took the 3rd video. So all together it is difficult to say what was going on as some teams might had arrived while i was following gary/matt (for only like a minute) or the other teams might have been inside the house of the blackheads.
I would think that gary and matt had already completed the task in the house of the blackheads upon my arrival but it is bizarre why they ran into the wrong direction as all other teams went to Toompea. As for placing gary and matt i would think they might have been in the first place.
So my take on all this is that G/M must finish the RB in the lead, or at least ahead of B/E, M/C, and S/D.
What happens next?? No idea. But I tend to think G/M may be safe this week.
Feel free to convince me otherwise, we have 8 hours to speculate!! :hearts:

Peach, my gut tends to agree with you that G/M may be safe this week. But that darn S/D confessional keeps replaying in my mind. That makes it sound like the Trotters are in and G/M are out. But if it was edited/spliced together in anyway, which is possible since we don't actually see them the entire time they are talking. The GT remark could be an old remark. Also, the athletic remark could be said about M/C, and since G/M are an all male team, they could have been talking about them, with the GT part added from another time.

All I know is that I think G/M were leading after the RB...what happens next could propel them into first, last, or somewhere in between.
This will be a great episode to watch!! Lots of questions...

At the beginning of TAR 14, Phil said there would be "a number of legs," and the map had 12 legs on it. This allowed for the TBC in China, which I believe they intended to have as a surprise for viewers. But in this season he said there would be "12 legs", and the map only has 12 legs on it, thus I don't believe there will be a TBC in this season. But I wouldn't be surprised if it happens anyway. It doesn't seem like they value being honest anymore. :groan:

I speculate that Gary & Matt may have to do the Speed Bump before the Roadblock, and then they struggle at the Roadblock. I don't know if they would have had time to complete the Roadblock that fast and yet still have struggled at it. But it could just be a minor problem edited to look like they are doomed. It's hard to know. :duno:

They usually appear mid-leg.
TAR 12 Mumbai leg (8): Right before the detour/u-turn. TAR 12 Taiwan leg (10): Right after the roadblock. TAR 13 India leg 2 (7): Right before the detour. TAR 13 Moscow leg 2 (10): Right before the detour. TAR 14 Jaipur leg (6): Right before the detour. (India has quite a few speedbumps!) TAR 14 Guilin leg (9): Right before the roadblock. TAR 15 Cai Be leg (2): Right at the start. TAR 15 Tallinn leg (9): I predict it's between the roadblock and the detour.
EDIT: was beat to it (:;)

Post by: puddin on November 15, 2009, 05:45:44 PM
gotcha Hooky, how could I forget this!?
This leg's Detour required teams to choose between Paste 'Em or Thread 'Em. In Paste 'Em, teams made their way to a marked underpass in Tulsi Pipe Road of Dadar West Bridge and used the provided supplies to properly paste a 6-panel Bollywood movie poster onto the wall. When the advertisement was complete, they would receive their next clue. In Thread 'Em, teams made their way to Dadar Flower Market and found a marked flower stall called Shyam Pandurang Bhagat where they had to create a traditional wedding garland by threading 108 flowers in an alternating pattern (red, orange, yellow). When the judge agreed that the garland had been properly made, teams needed to deliver it to a nearby bridegroom and exchange it for their next clue. In this Roadblock, one team member had to load a bicycle cart with six tanks of propane gas, pedal to the two addresses listed on their order slips, deliver three tanks to each address, and then take a receipt from the homeowner's door as proof of delivery. Once their deliveries were complete, they had to hand the foreman their two order slips and two receipts to receive their next clue. The Speed Bump task requires Kynt & Vyxsin to find the Yoga Master and successfully perform a series of Yoga poses before being allowed to continue the race and do the Detour.

Maybe the producers won't be up for it, but in TARLA the first two speed bumps to appear happened at the beginning of the leg and right before the Pit Stop, respectively. Estonia could be the former? Though, I'd guess it would be right after the Roadblock.

After completing a task in Tallinn, they had a clue that said only "Tarsi talu, Raplamaa" and three teams acted together and stopped a van and asked the driver for this place. And believe it or not - the driver knew and took all 3 teams there. They were expected around 2-3 pm, but they arrived about 11:30. When they arrived, they all (3 teams) ran off to the wrong direction and made an enormous circle before arriving to the right spot. And the volleyball event itself was supposed to be hilarious :D
Sometimes what people hear might not always be true, obviously Erika and Brian took their own cab after being left in the dust by Meghan and Cheyne who didn't care about them but they did arrive as the same time as FT/BE and the brothers and the wrong direction was right. Thanks John for all the info! :jam:

In Primefun's video, we see M/C and B/E running up Olevimagi. But in the episode, M/C had the lead going in. So that must have been them taking a wrong turn after solving the parchment. And the confessional makes sense now as well: with Montana eliminated, the Trotters were the only other all-male team.

Puddin, do you have any caps of the Blackhead door? Photos like this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/shnuggy/2990758698/sizes/o/) make me think it was an "amazing" door lock.

It's a candlestick with different candles on it.

It sound like the word "Candle" so that should give some sort of a clue.

This episode would have been exciting if Brian and Ericka finished the Detour/check-in in second, with Gary and Matt checking-in third. The pitstop run between Sam/Dan and FT/BE to avoid elimination could have easily be this season's best moment.
BUT, Gary and Matt were too lost... and thus were eliminated. Kinda sad, because they're starting to grow on me and they're really a nice team. Love the Roadblock and the Detour was fun. A U-TURN at this point would have been exciting since both Detours are just side by side.. but they didn't put a U-TURN, thus this leg was kinda mild in excitement.
Meghan/Cheyne are just too fast, while the comeptition between the 2 all-male teams seem to be like a total bitch fight. But what they didn't realise is that Meghan beat the two teams hands down. :funny:
Brian and Ericka is the underdog this season and since i'm forever rooting for the underdogs... GO BRIAN AND ERICKA! I love them and Meghan and Cheyne and can't wait to see them go to the final 3! :)

Out of the four Golden Girls, two of them died. Not too far from each other, too.
I agree with what's been said here -- it's pretty much safe to say that Gary/Matt were in trouble from the start. Add in the five-minute sauna Speed Bump, and the chances of them coming in anything but last place weren't very good.

Wow loved this episode and am so sad Gary and Matt had to go... all the other teams are male-male or alpha male-female which is fine as ive grown to love actually all of them by now but its always fun to see teams that arent alpha get far, with gary/matt as a Father/son team out we will have to do with the alphas :) personally its very difficult to pick a single favourite at the moment...
also loved to see the places i was chasing the teams at, i will get a screenshot later on with me actually in the show but its only for a second and im like miles away from the camera :yess:

Not me personally, but I know of someone who was very close to being selected for this current season and might be selected for next. I can't divulge who that is because that person cannot talk about it. But it would be a very good choice if he/she is chosen for TAR16.

I don't EVER remember a season with such sloppy editing...remember when seeing a camera was a once-in-a-blue-moon thing??
I remembered that on last season, they forgot to edit away Tammy and Victor asking for 4 tickets... (cameraman and soundman)... getting sloppy, really.

Is it just me...
I first thought Lisa of Eric and Lisa looked like Pheobe from Friends.
And then I heard Meaghan say : "GOODBYE SWEDEN" on the ferry
That just reminded me of Pheobe's Jennifer Aniston Message "I'm Swedish" scene
LOL
