AN IMPENDING DOUBLE U-TURN PUTS THE REMAINING TEAMS ON EDGE, AND ONE TEAM HAS A NIGHTMARE OF A TIME TRYING TO CONSUME A SWISS DELICACY, ON "THE AMAZING RACE," SUNDAY, APRIL 24
"We're Good American People" (Switzerland) - The stress of the Race begins to take its toll when a Double U-Turn is revealed, and one Team struggles to consume a local delicacy while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, April 24
=====================================
EPISODE 9 SUMMARY!!
A HUGE thanks to Neobie's incredible on site Detective work in Zermatt for jumpstarting our spoilers and to the rest of the team (especially raina, DrRox, The Prophet, walkingpneumomia, and of course tombc52) who provided eyewitness accounts, locations, routes, maps, times, screencap aanalysis, and theories, we have been able to cover this leg from start to finish!! It is so detailed that I wanted to pull it all together.
Neobie gave us an estimated TIMELINE as well:
It looks like, to me:
Pit Start at Salzburg, before 6.00am
Train from Salzburg to Feldkirch, around 6.30am
Taxi from Feldkirch to Liechtenstein, around 10.00am
Roadblock at Liechtenstein: Moped measurement, around 10.30am
Taxi (or, a smaller possibility, bus) from Liechtenstein to Sargans, around 11.30am
Train from Sargans to Zermatt, around 12.00pm
Detour at Zermatt: Luggage or Fondue (Cheesy Costumes or Cheesy Cuisine - just a joking guess), around 6.00pm
Pit Stop at Zermatt, around 7.30pm
So have fun!! The underlining means there is a LINK to more info, the pictures are thumbnails so click-click to enlarge them.
Teams depart from Salzburg and travel by train (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,24706.msg605552.html#msg605552)to Feldkirch Austria.
From Feldkirch, they catch a taxi

Gary and Mallory, who arrived last in the previous leg, must complete a Speedbump (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/th_gamecluespeedbump.png) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/gamecluespeedbump.png)before moving on.
They must figure out how to fuel a moped (http://www.myronsmoped.com/content/FAQ/FAQ.html).

The Roadblock is ride a VELOSOLEX (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,25164.msg607238.html#msg607238) the length of Liechtenstein,

and measure the exact length of the country (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23692.msg585539.html#msg585539).
Your moped has an odometer, so any mistake in direction will cause your total to be wrong, and force you to start again.
Doing the Roadblock are Jet (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/th_18-9-promo1-caps0276.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/18-9-promo1-caps0276.jpg), Gary(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo1A/th_18-9-promo1A-caps0486.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo1A/18-9-promo1A-caps0486.jpg), FT(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/th_18-9-promo1-caps0160-Copy.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/18-9-promo1-caps0160-Copy.jpg), Jen(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/th_18-9-promo3-caps0208.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/18-9-promo3-caps0208.jpg), Vyxsin(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/th_18-9-promo3-caps0327.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/18-9-promo3-caps0327.jpg) and Justin(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/th_18-9-promo3-caps0434.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%203/18-9-promo3-caps0434.jpg).
Bikers turn in their estimated distance to famed Olympic skier Marco Büchel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_B%C3%BCchel).
If their totals are correct, the bikers are directed to rejoin their teammates at Balzer Castle (aka Gutenberg Castle) (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,25164.msg606472.html#msg606472)

and receive their next Route Info clue from their teammate.

Teams must then travel by bus to Sargans train station.
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo1A/th_18-9-promo1A-caps0783.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo1A/18-9-promo1A-caps0783.jpg)
Take the train (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,24706.msg603588.html#msg603588) from Sargans to Zermatt (via Zurich and Visp) (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23690.msg580353.html#msg580353).

On arrival to the Zermatt train station, teams will find the Detour clue.
Thanks to Neobie's Detective work (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,25164.msg605528.html#msg605528) and the later promos, we know the tasks are:
FONDUE!
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/th_18-9-PREVIEW-caps0496.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/18-9-PREVIEW-caps0496.jpg)
With the location being discovered by Raina (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,25164.msg606007.html#msg606007)as being here:
http://www.walliserkanne.ch/walliserkanne_zermatt_restaurant_en.htm
We see Zev and Justin doing this task here:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/th_18-9-PREVIEW-caps0506.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/18-9-PREVIEW-caps0506.jpg)
With Justin seeming to be having trouble here:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/th_18-9-PREVIEW-caps0575.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/18-9-PREVIEW-caps0575.jpg)
and a shot of The Cowboys here: (note the outfits, this shot confirms either them being U-Turned or an unusual Detour switch on their part.)
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/th_18-9-PREVIEW-caps0465.jpg) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/18-9-PREVIEW-caps0465.jpg)
The other Detour is deliver luggage from the train station to various Zermatt Hotels. Teams must deleiver a number of pieces of luggae to several different hotels, and importantly, retrieve some luggage tag receipts to turn in at the end of the task.
Teams who complete the task successfully are given the next ROUTE Info clue, which THANKS TO NEOBIE (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,25164.msg605528.html#msg605528) we know directs them to find
the Ulrich Inderbinen Fountain
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/TAr18ep9Ulrichfountain.jpg)

This is the site of the DOUBLE U-TURN. And some goats.

TWO teams MAY be put at risk here.
Seeing the Cowboys at one Detour Option in the uniform of the second Detour Option strongly suggests they are the victim of one of the available U-Turns.
Will another team face the double U-Turn as well?? Who does the Yielding??
The next Route Info Clue directs the teams to take Electric Taxis to the PITSTOP

Bergrestaurant-Moos
Moosstrasse 77, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland
PANORAMA:

where one team WILL BE ELIMINATED.
WHO wins the leg? WHO will be eliminated??

From RAINA! Thanks!!
Looking at Amazing Line map that they had in the preview, this should be the route map with the Schaanwald being the start point, Balzers being the end point and the gas station in the middle. It's exactly 9.5 km to the gas station from the start and exactly 9.5 km from the gas station to Balzers.

I couldn't find any bike shops near the gas station (there might be some there obviously, just couldn't find them. There is one near Balzers (http://www.veloshop.li/home.aspx) and one in Triesenberg (http://www.bikeshop.li/index.html). Both are after the gas station.

I guess Lichtenstein can't be a separate leg since Brazil is on the 1st and the final on the 8th.
We NEVER had it as a separate leg.

THE TRAIN STATION
The only feasible way to enter Zermatt is by train, and as we know from Tombc52's spoiler, the train from Liechtenstein involves a change at Zurich and Visp. Teams would have arrived in the evening, with LaKisha/Jennifer scheduled to arrive at 5.34pm. Sunset on 7 Dec is at 4.38pm, so I'd doubt any tasks outside of town for the rest of the first leg. That being said, it seems that there is a task taking place right at the train station itself! More in the next section.
THE LOCAL HOTELS
There seems to have been a task with teams carrying luggage from the train station to hotels around the area. Teams were reportedly running up and down Bahnhofstrasse and Hinterdorfstrasse. Some possible hotels are the Mont Cervin Palace, the Hotel Phoenix and the Hotel Primavera. On another note, production was housed at the Hotel Ambassador, not far from the train station.
THE GLACIERS
Teams were seen performing tasks at Theodulgletscher and Furggsattel. There may have been, on top of the avalanche search task, another task that involved rescuing someone or something from a mountain crevice.
AND A FOUNTAIN
This is the Ulrich Inderbinen fountain, dedicated to a mountaineer who climbed the Matterhorn a staggering 370+ times. Sounds like a Pit Stop to me, but I can't be sure. It's semi-open to the public, but the surrounding streets are easily closed off. Production was seen milling around here for a while.

forgive me for being off topic, but i am wondering why the narrator of the preview for episode 9 is not phil. normally phil is the one narrating "next week on TAR, ....." probably not relevant, but it's something that jumped at me.

can anyone please tell me what food they are eating?
oh yeah, a picture too if you guys don't mind :)
Looks to me like it is cheese fondue.
Post by: livingincm on April 18, 2011, 04:23:12 AM
Do you guys think this is a detour which involves having to eat within the time frame given (same as the Ferris wheel task)? And
(http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5664/29521585.png)
This being a roadblock?
The thing that questions me is... in the electric bicycle task jet/cord are wearing different clothings compared to when they're doing the cheese fondue task. Could it be that they actually switched detours..? Because Zev/Justin are wearing their usual clothes.
If im right.. that could put them into last place or something.. Because they don't look very happy eating that thing and normally you would change out of that outfit if you ain't rushing right? Sobsob.. cowboys you'd better be in the final 3 or imma whoop your butt (:;)
Post by: kiki on April 18, 2011, 05:01:35 AM
livingincm is right about the clothes in the fondue scenes, the cowboys are wearing a military style uniform unlike Zev and Justin.

The thing that questions me is... in the electric bicycle task jet/cord are wearing different clothings compared to when they're doing the cheese fondue task. Could it be that they actually switched detours..? Because Zev/Justin are wearing their usual clothes.
If im right.. that could put them into last place or something.. Because they don't look very happy eating that thing and normally you would change out of that outfit if you ain't rushing right? Sobsob.. cowboys you'd better be in the final 3 or imma whoop your butt (:;)
hmmm... that's true.. but why would the cowboys switch detours? they never quit a task that they've started!!! >:(... anyways, it could possibly put them in last place but they are very fast at anything though... plus, Gary and Mallory have speedbump so they will probably be ok...

So based on your Detour reasoning, the Cowboys switch Detours. If this is true, I wonder how the luggage could be harder than the fondue. :duno:
Post by: hufter on April 18, 2011, 08:23:21 AM
can anyone please tell me what food they are eating?
oh yeah, a picture too if you guys don't mind :)
Looks to me like it is cheese fondue.
Telling from the reaction of (is it Zev or Justin), they are apparently also drinking Kirschwasser.

I figured the hard part has to be something besides the fondue, how hard can that be to eat? Maybe it's really spicy?

While we cannot insist for certain that the Cowboys switch Detours, saying that they don't would mean that the fondue is a mandatory task. And in an episode involving three countries (four if you count the train ride through Bavaria), two long international journeys with multiple legs, a Speed Bump, and a whole leg to showcase Zermatt the week after, I don't think the fondue as a mandatory Route Marker task is very likely.

The moped thing is nice, but for $70K and a little imagination the producers could have created some awesome tasks (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/15/liechtenstein-hire-rental-scheme).They had a piece on the news here in Australia about hiring Liechtenstein for a day!
How about we all chip in and have an RFF Christmas Party in Liechtenstein! :jam: If there is 100 people chipping in, that is $700 per head (not counting the cost of the flight...)

Isn't fondue supposed to be really hot??? If this is another time-framed eating challenge, I guess it would be a big problem for the teams to finish it without burning your tongues...
There is a flame underneath fondue pots which are typically adjustable. You can have your melted cheese hot or warm. Now, World Race Productions could choose to burn the roofs of the mouths of any who try this, but why would they want to discourage any future contestants from trying eating challenges?

Road bending slightly to the left, woods on right, field to left, this looks about right! (Also, compare the wear-and-tear on the sign below.)
This is the southernmost border of Liechtenstein (with Switzerland) at Balzers. Since it's not on the road between Feldkirch and Liechtenstein, nor that between Liechtenstein and Sargans, I'd say this is the end-point of our moped run, and our measurement of Liechtenstein runs north-south and not east-west?

It's not the food, cheese fondue is delicious. I'd say they also have to drink something like this:

I believe you are correct. Looking earlier, I noticed a good North/South route on the Western side of Liechtenstein. The East side of the country looks more mountainous, and I didn't see any real good East/West routes. The North/South route is longer, also.

What does that mean for Gary and Mallory I wonder? If teams are smart, they should U-Turn them as it could be the final nail. Of course that will depend on who gets to the U-Turn first. Just looked like G&M were having trouble getting a cab in the preview. Hmm.

These may be the last famous words, BUT for the cowboys a double u-turn is better than a normal u-turn. They are always VERY quick at performing tasks, that's where they usually catch up. If another team is in their same predicament, they might pull ahead - providing they don't get there last or something like that.
Now, I thought about a strategy to counter that...if two teams decide to cooperate with the U-Turn to just affect the cowboys, two teams can agree that:
one of them U-Turns the cowboys and
the other team u-turns a team that is already ahead of them (to cancel the second U-Turn)
farfetched but it could work in theory

I think the teams who are U-Turned are the Cowboys (they're really strong) and Kent & Vyksin (they're unpopular).

One thing we know for sure is that the cowboys are u-turned.
It is a genius idea. Cos everyone (i mean everyone ; Zev/Justin, Ron/Chris, Gary/Mallory etc.) have either said "the cowboys are intimidating" or "it's the cowboys. Pretty sure they would catch up". But i think this kinda strategy is only thought by the ppl from survivor. But it would b a more likely thing IF
1) Route info from pitstop says > Careful, W-TURN ahead! As teams would b in the train, they might have ample time to actually socialize and discuss strategy w/ each other.
2) 2 teams arrived at the w-turn & the idea just came to them and tada.. cowboys u-turned.
I just hope that the roadblock would be an easy task for the cowboys but a hard task for the other teams haha! :) Just like the dinosaur puzzle in china.
Post by: Shiryu01 on April 18, 2011, 08:40:44 PM
That would borderline on conspiracy, but it could certainly happen, although I personally would find it a bit mean. And it's also possible that the cowboys or somebody else mistakenly u-turn a team ahead. A lot of it will depend on how hard the roadblock is and on where it's located, last time we had detour before dinosour RB and everyone managed to catch up, BUT now Jet is not wearing the hotel uniform on the scooter, so it could be RB before detour? Now that would be almost a nail in the coffin. :'(These may be the last famous words, BUT for the cowboys a double u-turn is better than a normal u-turn.

It is just extremely poor planning if the roadblock comes before the detour. Because there's no way in hell for the u-turned teams to catch up. So im guessing it's a route info to measure the length of Liechtenstein. Otherwise it's just not fair.

This suggests that most team went to do the swiss hospitality detour (otherS). Bet its due to the phobia from vienna, austria. :)

The team that used the first U-Turn would be considered to have passed the U-Turn point, though. So technically if they were U-Turned, it would not have any effect.
I think that is the point :lol:

the question now is... who u-turned them?
probably not the goths since they've use their power...
can't be Gary and Mal, because they already said that they can't u-turn the trotters and cowboys no matter how strong they are...
soo.. it might be the globetrotters, Zev and Justin or Kisha and Jen that u-turned the cowboys?
there is a big chance that it might be the globetrotters..
I also think that Kisha and Jen might get the second u-turn....
hmm.. If I were to u-turn someone on the race... it will be Gary and Mallory... as much as I love them but they are gonna be racing like a dog since they have a speedbump and could probably catch up and u-turning them is gonna be a good idea because they cannot give them a momentum going if they survive this leg...
I really do hope that cowboys survive! I cannot watch the amazing race without them racing!

Keep in mind at the mat that Vyx made a comment about their "Hot and cold" feelings and attitude that leg, and ask yourself- How much of the aforementioned "hot" did we get to see as opposed to the "cold"?

From the previews, I would think that Zev/Justin and Jet/Cord were victums of the W-Turn.
that's exactly what I thought... I'm guessing that Zev/Justin got u-turned first and they have a time to change and then they u-turned the cowboys to get ahead? and some team told them that they got u-turned so they've decided not to change their clothes.
So Kisha and Jen are the only ones that I think will u-turn Zev/Justin because Gary and Mal probably can't cause they boys are probably ahead of them.. I'm pretty sure that the globetrotters wouldn't u-turn them too and the goths have used their u-turn... and they saw the cowboys behind them and decided to u-turn them just to make up time... does it make sense?
sorry if I'm trying too hard! XD

Hmm.. it's extremely hard to predict anything from the previews. Who knows kent/vyxin are the one eliminated instead of those that are u-turned. From the previews, Jet/Cord are looking pretty serious.. (or do they look serious all the time LOL). Whatever it is, i really hope to see the cowboys survive.

It is hard to predict right now who is U-Turned. The cowboys are likley based on their edit and the previews. What I'm not geetting is the spec on Zev/Justin because of their reaction to the food. The only thing it really sows is that they participate in that side of the detour. I think there is always a chance that the cowboys are the only team U-turned. I hope that we get more from CBS about the U-Turn for this leg. But the fact that they didn't show it in the preview makes me think it may not have any real effect on the outcome.

north09......
My spec, which you seem to have problems with, is just that my speculation. It is based on several things.
1) the CBS announcement that we have a W-Turn.
2) the vid cap showing Zev/Justin doing the food side of the detour
3) comments that Zev/Justin made at the end of the previous leg about food challenges and they should have done the physical challenge first
4) the fact that Zev/Justin passed all the other teams in the previous leg to win the cars and now have a bull's eye on their chest.
I am not asking anyone to agree with me, but I am just stating what I think at this time. If we get more info, then certainly my spec can change. It is not cast in concrete or carved in stone.

It is not impossible that Zev and Justin are U-Turned since they have won the most legs...they could very well be U-Turned if one of the teams is thinking logically.
Moreover, I speculate that an emotional U-Turn would be directed at the Goths.

Probably - They would have to SCREW UP badly to get eliminated without the U-turn. But it also depends what the Speed Bump is?

Isn't fondue supposed to be really hot??? If this is another time-framed eating challenge, I guess it would be a big problem for the teams to finish it without burning your tongues...
It's not the food, cheese fondue is delicious. I'd say they also have to drink something like this:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Fuersteneck_Kirschwasser.jpg/279px-Fuersteneck_Kirschwasser.jpg)
Which is good too, but if you are not used to strong alcohol, it is really... mm... strong.
Hopefully the drinking part is after the driving part!! :colors
It would be socially irresponsible of TAR to have the racers drink alcohol and then get on mopeds to drive around Lichtenstein.
I will speculate Roadblock ==> Detour(s) ==> PitStop.

It looks like, to me:
Pit Start at Salzburg, before 6.00am
Train from Salzburg to Feldkirch, around 6.30am
Taxi from Feldkirch to Liechtenstein, around 10.00am
Roadblock at Liechtenstein: Moped measurement, around 10.30am
Taxi (or, a smaller possibility, bus) from Liechtenstein to Sargans, around 11.30am
Train from Sargans to Zermatt, around 12.00pm
Detour at Zermatt: Luggage or Fondue (Cheesy Costumes or Cheesy Cuisine - just a joking guess), around 6.00pm
Pit Stop at Zermatt, around 7.30pm
Post by: georgiapeach on April 19, 2011, 12:44:45 PM
The RB is the Liechtenstein portion (moped task), so the Speedbump will be there too>>followed by train to Zermatt>>Detours (thanks Neobie!!) >>Pitstop (location to be determined).
Glacier tasks are for next week.
This looks like a very sad leg to be U-turned on.... not much time to play catch up. :'(
Post by: Tobertz on April 19, 2011, 12:52:56 PM
But i'm really worried about G/M's position,,, I'm rooting for them... :'(
I also speculate the Trotters u-turning K/V since the goths were the cause of them being U-turn by cheerleaders in China... It would also be interesting if they U-turn them right in front of their faces! :ascared
Post by: DrRox on April 19, 2011, 12:56:09 PM
So, the alcohol shouldn't come before the moped task, which makes me believe the measuring task is a Route Info. It makes more sense to send both team mates from one side of Liechtenstein to the other and then continue racing, rather than making one team member go two-ways and then have them go again.
It is possible that the other teammate rides along in the camera van or is transported to the end of the RB by other means. Then both teammates would be close (~2-3 miles) to the railroad station in Sargans. TPTB could also tell the teams to run/walk to the train station.
I have always assumed that the moped RB would end at one of those two bridges across the Rhine, SW of Balzers, for the HD cameras. If on the other hand if TPTB were in stealth mode, there is an isolated land crossing back into Switzerland SE of Balzers. This would take teams to the town of Bad Ragaz, which just happens to be a stop on that Chur-Zurich train that Kisha/Jen were seen on.
Post by: selkie on April 19, 2011, 02:13:14 PM
I think the Speed Bump would really not be that difficult like Roadblock or Detours, I mean think about those speed bumps last seasons like sitting on ice, washing tanks, staying in sauna etc. Those speed bumps are not like solving puzzles, they're just tasks that can be finish in an average or fixed time.
Seems like in the past, the Speedbump has essentially been a 20-40 minute time penalty (depending on the given leg) that's essentially a fixed duration rather than something that a Racer has much control over how long it will take, and serve as a bonus chance to show local scenery or culture without being a huge expense to Production.

Neobie is correct, of course!!

Well, if that's the case, then other teams may get bunched up for Gary/Mallory to finish the speedbump and catch the same train to Zermatt. That would make sense for the W-turn since it will be everyone's game again in Zermatt and no unfair advantage to Gary/Mallory. It will depend on who finish the detour first and then find the W-turn mat.
I also think that Zev/Justin may get U-turned for the fact that they do a food task after all the Vienna experience.

It's a huge restaurant, probably why they chose it. The website says it's open from 8 am to midnight with the kitchen being open from 12 pm to 2 pm and 6 pm to 10 pm. So what do people do from 8 am to 12 pm there? :duno:coffee, pastries, bistro, sandwiches, etc...the kitchen usually refers to more elaborate entrees.

I commenter a few pages back had the same thought as me. I too find it strange that after the eating trouble from the last leg, that Z/J would do it again. Unless they were U-turned.
I agree; I don't think Z/J would have chosen it again unless they were U-Turned. However I can't really think of who would U-Turn them, other than the cowboys (and a very small chance of Gary/Mallory or Kisha/Jen, I suppose...) And it could always be something like, if they weren't able to find the location of the first Detour and decided to just pick the second one. Still...I think Z/J are one of the more probable teams to get U-Turned especially with the target on their backs.
Post by: El Gado on April 19, 2011, 07:17:04 PM

Can't really assume that Zev/Justin came earlier. Haha. One thing for sure the cowboys are u-turned.
HOWEVER, "ONE TEAM HAS A NIGHTMARE OF A TIME TRYING TO CONSUME A SWISS DELICACY". This literally just tells us that the team that was having trouble consuming the swiss delicacy will definitely have a 95% chance of being eliminated.
Nightmare of a time = must have taken a long time to eat it. Unless someone actually screwed up really bad at the other detour, this team is sure to be sent home.
Looking at the preview, Zev/Justin really look like they're having a really bad time eating that thing.
And Justin said "Zev this is crazy". Im pretty sure he would have done the other task if he could right?
Which makes more sense that Zev/Justin & Jet/Cord are u-turned. Haha.
But who knows that after all these stressing bout whos being u-turned, in reality, kent/vyxin were the one who actually got eliminated haha!

I doubt Jet and Cord would struggle @ the detour(s) if they get u-turned... they are never ones to struggle or give up!
This is def. not the leg to have to lose time in! I hope Gallory, Kynt and Vyxsin or Kisha and Jen mess up somewhere to help the cowboys catch up IF! they are u-turned.
Im glad this is a DOUBLE U-turn instead of a single u-turn where it makes it a little easier on one of the teams u-turned so they arent alone and far behind.

Is someone there all night? The restaurant's website says they are open til midnight. :ascared
I'm actually inclined to think like The Prophet that 'nightmare' has a meaning like that. In the previous releases they've used phrases like "a desperate plunge" and Vyxsin literally jumped into the water; "costly mistake" and Ron/Christina did get eliminated because of the mistake. But we never know. :duno:

Hmm..I have a feeling that Zev/Justin weren't victims of the W-Turn. I'm assuming Justin is frustrated, but my guess would just be because it isn't tasty. I don't think that Z/J were W-Turned by Kisha/Jen because they seem to be close on Twitter. This is probably all just wishful thinking from a Z/J fan though.
yeah that's true, but that's after the race already and that's why they are close... but they are still racing during this leg...
Post by: Arubato on April 19, 2011, 11:27:23 PM
my totally ridiculous/random speculation:
Gary & Mallory are u-turned by Kisha & Jen because they show scenes of K&J jokingly trying to screw them up
so it'll be like:
"We think you're lying!" *everyone laughs*
"They're trying to get there as late as possible" *everyone laughs*
*Gary & Mallory are u-turned* *Kisha & Jen laugh*
ALSO
im pretty sure the cowboys are u-turned because maybe they make another final "minor" mistake and it ends up allowing other teams to get to the u-turn first.
i was also gonna guess the globetrotters u-turning kynt and vyxsin but someone else said it first >.>

And for those of you who were asking "how do you know", the first 4 posts of the episode threads are updated as we go with press releases and promos, so worth checking there.
Have fun, everyone!!

Don't know all the lingo yet but hopefully will get there!
Now something pertaining to this forum:
I agree that Jet/Cord are U-turned, and possibly Zev/Justin.

Well in the promos, yeah usually, but when it comes to these TV-Guide things, not really.
For example, last 2 weeks we had
"One team member makes a costly mistake in the roadblock" (When Christina/Ron was eliminated)
AND last week we had
" and a hefty meal proves to be too big for some teams' stomachs" (When Gallory came last place)

The W-Turn has to be revealed in the Pit Start clue.
And just because "one team struggles" doesn't exactly mean that only one team is U-Turned.

prey for them.....
are we sure that detour comes before roadblock?
who can recall all the previous seasons' U-turn legs?
Is it normally detour first or roadblock first in U-turn legs?
I did a bit search. Normally detour first. then u-turn teams have roadblock to catch up.

Just a few thoughts on Kirschwasser (Kirsh for short)... having a Swiss sister in law means that I have had many cheese fondues in my time!
Kirsh is a common ingredient in making cheese fondue (helps keep the cheese smooth, otherwise it may clump).
Kirsh is also drunk to help with the digestion of the cheese... if you eat too much over a long period of time, the cheese kinda clumps inside your stomach which can give you really bad stomach pain. The kirsh helps in keeping the cheese moving... considering the amount of fondue in the pan for two people, could be a real possibility one of the team members could be having problems with stomach pain.
The sister in law also mentioned that sometimes, when they are eating fondue with friends, they will have a 'rule' that if you lose your bread in the fondue, you then have to take a shot of kirsch. This could possibly be something they could have to do... if you lose your piece of bread from the fondue stick in the cheese, you have to take a shot of kirsch... just speculation.
As a side note, Kirsh is a type of cherry brandy, but it is not sweet. It is very very strong and if you are not a big alcohol drinker, getting it down is very difficult... I refuse to have any when I am visiting my family.
Just thought I would share some of my own experiences with fondue!

Remember back in Season 16 where Jet and Cord did good on the drinking task, but admitted that they haven't drunk beer and never again will... This time they will face drinking brandy... I do hope they would still do great in drinking... It's just all mind over matter... As for winning the leg, drinking brandy won't stop, but I guess they will say again that they won't drink it again ever.

Post by: Glamazon Racer on April 20, 2011, 11:36:48 AM
the cowboys are in serious troubleEver since the U-Turn was created in Season 12, on the legs that contain a U-Turn, the Detour has always been before the Roadblock, so this leg would break the pattern. I will sum up all the U-Turns for you, if this helps:
prey for them.....
are we sure that detour comes before roadblock?
who can recall all the previous seasons' U-turn legs?
Is it normally detour first or roadblock first in U-turn legs?
I did a bit search. Normally detour first. then u-turn teams have roadblock to catch up.
Season 12, Leg 4 - "Shake Your Pan, Shake Your Booty" Detour (Shana & Jennifer U-Turn Lorena & Jason) then the bicycle Roadblock
Season 12, Leg 8 - "Paste 'Em, Thread 'Em" Detour (Kynt & Vyxsin mistakenly U-Turn Nicolas & Donald) then the gas delivery Roadblock
Season 13, Leg 3 - "Musical March, Bumpy Ride" Detour (Unused U-Turn) then the fighting cholitas Roadblock
Season 13, Leg 9 - "Boots, Borscht" Detour (Unaired U-Turn, if I am not mistaken) then the bakery Roadblock
Season 14, Leg 4 - "Stack, Construct" Detour (Margie & Luke U-Turn Amanda & Kris) then the Chekhov Roadblock
Season 14, Leg 11 - "Beijing Opera, Chinese Waiter" Detour (Tammy & Victor U-Turn Kisha & Jen) then the eating Roadblock
Season 15 did not air any U-Turns, but if I am not mistaken, I think there was one on Leg 3, which had the Detour first also
Season 16, Leg 5 - "In The Trenches, Under Fire" Detour (Louie & Michael U-Turn Joe & Heidi) and this leg did not have a Roadblock
Season 16, Leg 9 - "Pounding The Drums, Pounding The Pavement" Detour (Brent & Caite U-Turn Carol & Brandy) then the chain counting Roadblock
Season 17, Leg 9 - "Balanced Meal, Balanced Bricks" Detour (Double U-Turn; Jill & Thomas -> Brook & Claire, Nat & Kat -> Chad & Stephanie) then the rickshaw assembling Roadblock
Season 18, Leg 5 - "Honor Past, Embrace Future" Detour (Double U-Turn; Kent & Vyxsin -> Jaime & Cara -> Flight Time & Big Easy) then the dinosaur Roadblock
Hope I haven't been off-topic B:) , but I hope this helps ! :tup:

But what a great decoy idea! Instead of sending the philiminated to a resort, put them on trains with a camera and sound guy. Let them get off the train in obscure places and run around doing wacky stuff.One of the BEST bits of this ep is that the speculation that K/J were decoys when seen on the train can FINALLY be put to rest!! :jumpy:

Put the pieces together!
Not soldiers, not chimney sweepers... but BELLBOYS. :lol:
It looks like, to me:
Pit Start at Salzburg, before 6.00am
Train from Salzburg to Feldkirch, around 6.30am
Taxi from Feldkirch to Liechtenstein, around 10.00am
Roadblock at Liechtenstein: Moped measurement, around 10.30am
Taxi (or, a smaller possibility, bus) from Liechtenstein to Sargans, around 11.30am
Train from Sargans to Zermatt, around 12.00pm
Detour at Zermatt: Luggage or Fondue (Cheesy Costumes or Cheesy Cuisine - just a joking guess), around 6.00pm
Pit Stop at Zermatt, around 7.30pm
Upstream, on page 2 of this thread (and copied here), Neobie outlined this leg of the race. There is a nice map too.

Thanks racer! Great summary. I thought of Joe and Heidi when I saw the W U turn making an appearance. If you are going to have a tool that puts one team in charge of another team's destiny, at least plan it so they have a chance to catch up. grrr.However, with the chance of now being two teams having to backtrack makes it less unfair in this case.

WHAT IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DETOUR ??? :ascared :ascared :ascared :ascaredAccording to what has been posted it's some kind of luggage task at one of the local hotels. Teams acting like bellhops? I couldn't find any pictures that matched with the outfits we see Jet and Cord wearing. They kind of look like the horse-carriage driver outfits from two of the luxury hotels, but the colors are all wrong. And they're more bellhopy than those outfits anyway. Just didn't think they fit the color schemes of those two hotels. If only we had a location shot!
its ok if yall dont know I was just wondering. I know one is the cheese fondue.. but idk the other.
It would be nice if there was a route info or task after the detour. It would be pretty late at night by the time they finish detours, though. What's there to do so late in the night?
Post by: Prophet on April 20, 2011, 06:01:05 PM
THE LOCAL HOTELS
There seems to have been a task with teams carrying luggage from the train station to hotels around the area. Teams were reportedly running up and down Bahnhofstrasse and Hinterdorfstrasse. Some possible hotels are the Mont Cervin Palace, the Hotel Phoenix and the Hotel Primavera. On another note, production was housed at the Hotel Ambassador, not far from the train station.

Post by: georgiapeach on April 20, 2011, 07:02:56 PM
Ok, so it looks like Gary/Mallory were tied with the pack until a certain point with the slow taxi. The question it, when is the taxi? All I can tell is that there is a bunch of yellow buses and there is definitely a bus lane. Is it a train station? From the looks of it, it's not Zermatt, because of the buses and buildings. And I do know there are yellow buses in Liechtenstein. If I were to make a guess, it looks a little bit like Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
Gary and Mallory are chasing down a taxi at the train station in FELDKIRCH, AUSTRIA. This is the Austrian jumping-off point to Liechtenstein, and where I based myself because Liechtenstein was so crazily expensive to stay in!

We have no confirmation that anyone was U-Turned...we speculate that Jet and Cord were U-Turned. We don't know about anyone else. :tup:what i was saying before was that Gallory mite have one of those just sit there for 10 minute tasks. and if they dont see a team or a 2nd team being uturned i dont see why they wouldnt just use it for the heck of it due to its towards the end of the race. plus if a team is behind gallory ie kisha and jen getting lost gallory could catch up

true but say they get there 2nd or 3rd they can still uturn the next team we saw this with jamie and cara use the uturn after being u-turned themselves.Since the roadblock is relatively easy... Gallory have that speed bump @ one of those :duno: That wont help Gallory catch up w/ the pack much. Gallory need to not be u-turned in order to not be eliminated... Its a matter of who gets to that U-turn first. I really hope Jet and Cord get to the u-turn first and u-turn somebody... hopefully kent and vyxsin :yess: :yess: :yess:We already know Jet and Cord get u turned so they CAN'T be first at the u-turn :tup: :tup: :tup:
I guess it's possible. The same could be said for the possibility of the team they U-Turn passing them (FT/BE beating Jaime/Cara and several other teams too). IMO, if Jet/Cord arrive third, their chances of using the second U-Turn aren't good.

ONE Team struggles to consume a local delicacy (FONDUE) while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality (Luggage Delivery??)
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.

Ok, so it looks like Gary/Mallory were tied with the pack until a certain point with the slow taxi. The question it, when is the taxi? All I can tell is that there is a bunch of yellow buses and there is definitely a bus lane. Is it a train station? From the looks of it, it's not Zermatt, because of the buses and buildings. And I do know there are yellow buses in Liechtenstein. If I were to make a guess, it looks a little bit like Vaduz, Liechtenstein.Gary and Mallory are chasing down a taxi at the train station in FELDKIRCH, AUSTRIA. This is the Austrian jumping-off point to Liechtenstein, and where I based myself because Liechtenstein was so crazily expensive to stay in!

So they were pretty much caught up by then...

but it is not okay to put roadblock before detour. it is really hard for u-turned teams to catch up. even they do, they will finish later which will harm the next leg. therefore it is too harsh and unfair to put roadblock before detour. like someone said in the previous posts, it is bad planning.
maybe this leg will change the history.
or it also could be, the passing through Liechtenstein will just be a route info, the roadblock will be something we didn't see in the promo and it will be after the cheesy fondue and bellboy detour.
or it also could be, no roadblock this leg, like season 16 the french battlefield leg, one detour and then riding bikes.
the real intention for u-turn is simply to eliminate teams (they feel yeild is not effective enough), its not like speedbump which you can finish it and still be number one team.
Since u-turn itself is so harsh already, if it is placed at the second half of the leg................(speechless)
Forget to mention that, the intention for teams to use u-turn is to make sure they are ahead of other teams during the whole leg, that's why detour first, roadblock next, because the teams who use u-turn are not sure how well they will perform in the roadblock.
But if roadblock first, then detour, the teams who use u-turn will surely get personal, to eliminate the biggest rival in the whole race, not just this leg. unless they are the first team to arrive at the u-turn clue box and they see a second team then eliminate them to make sure they get to pit stop first.

I don't know whether this is a hint chimney styles?lol
Is it possible that the cowboys and/or Zev and Justin weren't U-Turned but just struggled with the bellboy task and so switched detours?

Gary and Mallory - They are good friends with them + They are probably Behind. (( Unlikely U-turned Cowboys ))
Globe Trotters - They seem to be alright with the cowboys, but they are trying to win, not sure of placement. (( Neutral - Possible but Unlikely. ))
Zev and Justin - They seem to just care about winning, they could very well do it, but they are struggling in promos. (( Likely U-turned Cowboys. ))
Kent and Vyxin - Impossible because they already U-turned someone (( Jamie and Care )) (( Did not U-Turn Cowboys. ))
Kisha and Jen - They could have very well U-turned them, they just want to win. They know cowboys are strong. (( Likely U-Turned Cowboys. ))
Jet and Cord - As far as we know they were U-Turned or STRUGGLED BADLY at the cheese task. But we are not sure.
Post by: GeKKou on April 20, 2011, 10:39:46 PM
I think they did well, finished the majority of them, if you look at the level of cheese in the hotpot.
while zev and justin, the cheese in the hotpot seemed untouched.
but it could be zev and justin are first, so they took their time.

I don't believe we see Zev/Justin and the Cowboys at the Fondue at the same time. Who knows who is first there. :duno:
of course they are not there the same time, what i mean is 'one team struggles to consume the fondue' from the press release, doesn't necessarily mean the cowboys. although they look serious having the fondue, it could be they get u-turned and need to be hurry and the fondue is hot. while zev/ justin seems to be happy with the fondue, it doesn't mean they couldn't be the team who struggles, the only reason they seem relaxed could be they are at the fondue task first. Or they are not, then they are in trouble.

The Cowboys say, "This really could be our last leg." That makes me feel better about their chances of surviving this leg.
I didn't see any new pictures of the detour. :(
It's a way for the production to tease the viewers! LOL. It is either the cowboys gets eliminated or again find themselves second to the last... They know that the cowboys really have so many fans that's why these promos will make all the fans watch to see them survive... I do really hope so that they survive....

The confessional at the end of Promo 1 of Cord saying "This really could be out last leg" was shot from the end of last episode.
Notice the scenery(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/18-9-promo1-caps0525.jpg) is the exact same as the scenery from the clip "Jet, the Cowboy Psychologist" found on http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/ , So they haven't even run the leg yet.
So therefore, I would say they probably aren't safe at all.

I have yet to see any evidence that any team was U-Turned, ie, the W-Turn sign with any pictures on it. It may very well be, as Peach has really hinted at, that teams have problems with the Hotel Luggage detour and switch to the fondue eating detour. Nor have I seen any evidence as to which team, of the two we see, eating the fondue, is actually the first one there. Just a bunch of WILD SPECULATION AND WISHES for whichever team is a particular poster's favorite team.
good point. but we do know for a fact that there is a w turn. but we dont know for sure who got it.

This appears to be mid day, so probably they are retrieving a Route Info clue AFTER the moped RB. From earlier analysis of train schedules, it would appear that it would be very difficult for any teams to arrive in Zermatt in daylight. Also if this was the run to the Pit Stop, I would expect to see Jet/Cord wearing the bellboy uniforms.

While snooping around Liechtenstein I stumbled across the name Parkhotel Sonnenhof, but being a terrible navigator I got lost looking for it and ran out of time. And while looking for it, I walked past numerous vineyards. One of which you see to the cowboys' right. I believe they're concentrated around Vaduz, but I'll check to make sure.

If the mileage obtained is incorrect, I believe they have to start over....so this makes me wonder if FT has problems??
Oh dear.. an average cycling speed is around 20km/h. Therefore, if teams actually screwed up, it takes another 54 minutes to measure again. From the Promo FT looks like he is having problems. :duno:
Post by: DrRox on April 21, 2011, 03:46:22 AM
The mopeds the teams are riding do appear to have a pretty sophisticated odometer on them, sticking off to the right. Phil's moped does not have one on it.

I don't see Zev/Justin U-Turning the Cowboys. I don't know why, I just don't. Based on the promo, the Globetrotters look like they could have U-Turned the Cowboys but who knows. I think that in all likelihood, the Cowboys were U-Turned by either Kent/Vyxsin or the Globetrotters. I also have a feeling that since it's a W-Turn, the other W-Turn'd team may not be as obvious. Zev/Justin did look like they were struggling at the fondue but the reason is unknown. I have a feeling the other W-Turn'd team is either Kent/Vyxsin or even Gary/Mallory because of their Speed Bump (I hope that Gary/Mal aren't U-Turned though)
Thanks, and sorry for the longish post
The Goths couldn't have U-Turned the cowboys as they have already used up their U-Turn.

On another note, wow at the sudden sporadic growth of Cowboy-lovers in RFF. *blank face* :lol:
They were always there, but they just started posting recently! :lol:
I see a lot of possibilities for small mistakes to mess up a whole task this time. With the roadblock a wrong turn could add an extra kilometer to the odometer and cause them to have to do it all over again. With the luggage carrying losing a tag or receipt may force them to have to track it down before continuing. And as someone mentioned way back, it is quite possible that losing the bread in the fondue makes them have to drink the Kirsch.

1. We have yet to see the W-Turn sign when we have had two previews.
2. TPTB chose to hide the fact that there is a W-Turn in a press release, therefore hiding it from the public at large.
Moreover, what is the meaning of "Why is everyone ganging up on the Cowboys?", as we heard in the latest preview (which did not come from the CBS site).
As for all of this "wild speculation" :lol:, one can deductively believe that the Cowboys were U-Turned by a team that is definitely not the Goths, based on the two previews we have. I am referring to both the fact that the Cowboys were wearing bellboy outfits while eating the fondue and that the announcer in the second preview is hinting at something of the like. However, the latter may come to nothing.
Moreover, we have no evidence that any other team was U-Turned.

this is exactly why i feel that FT and BE allow Gallory to catch up and indeed use the double uturn if they use it. i feel like it would be the cowboys because no one will see it comingOn another note, wow at the sudden sporadic growth of Cowboy-lovers in RFF. *blank face* :lol:

I suppose it's a slim possibility, but if this happened to be a Blind Double U-Turn, the Goths could U-Turn someone.

I am not saying that the W-Turn was not used. I am just saying that we have no evidence for it yet, if it was. All we have is speculation, based on the Cowboys seen doing the fondue detour, dressed in the bellhop uniforms. It could very well mean that they had to switch detours because of some other reason, not just being U-Turned. Peach has given us some clues.

As far as who we have seen in the moped RB, excluding Zev/Justin. All the other teams will be RB ballanced, except Gary/Mallory. They will be Gary (5) and Mallory (3) after this episode. At this point, Zev (3) and Justin (4). I am wondering if Zev or Justin do the RB.i forgot in which caption but i saw zev on the moped.

Post by: Prophet on April 21, 2011, 10:36:56 AM
The cowboys are holding the map I think so this may be after the roadblock. So the moped path ends down there and they probably head on to Sargans which is not far at all.

This screencap from the preview is the Swiss border crossing that is SE of Balzers. You can see Balzers in the background of the screencap. You can almost see the Castle, but it is cut off on the left.

Caps 1 and 2 from the Promo 1 video are also from the Balzers Castle. I would suspect that this location is a route info location after the moped RB, that is if they measure all the way to the Swiss border SE of Balzers.
This screencap from the preview is the Swiss border crossing that is SE of Balzers. You can see Balzers in the left rear of the screencap. You can almost see the Castle, but it is cut off on the left.

Watching Promo 1, the audio "dings" when the route info (for measuring the length of Liechtenstein) reaches Balzers. Looking at your screencap, the sign at the border would be a good end point.
Hmmm. Just another thing that will make watching this episode more interesting.

That's a very good question.
And the comments from the Trotters in the Promo 1 confessional....that is from a previous episode I think?? When did BE have the bandaid on his head??
Pretty sure that is not a current confessional in any case....but something edited in from before.

Speculation - maybe the racer not doing the roadblock is transported by helicopter to Balzers.
Post by: DrRox on April 21, 2011, 01:30:58 PM
There are multiple train connections from Sargans to Zurich to Visp. From Visp to Zermatt, trains run about once an hour. So teams could possible gain an hour advantage catching the right train. If they happen to catch the 1510 train, they would actually gain a 1.5 hour advantage over the next train.
Any team that could catch the EC8 train in Sargans at 1139 would enjoy that 1.5 hour head start and arrive in Zermatt @ 1614. Any teams on trains from Sargans after that departure will arrive in Zermat at 1754.

Revisiting the Swiss Railroad Timetables (they changed the schedule back on Dec 12, 2110), connecting in Visp to Zermatt seems to be the choke point.
There are multiple train connections from Sargans to Zurich to Visp. From Visp to Zermatt, trains run about once an hour. So teams could possible gain an hour advantage catching the right train. If they happen to catch the 1510 train, they would actually gain a 1.5 hour advantage over the next train.

The sighting of Kisha/Jen on the train with no other teams seen - how would this relate to the train schedule? They would have arrived in Zurich at 1:48 PM?

I think Neobie has that answered over here:
Hi Apskip, in my above analysis I only described the journey made by LaKisha/Jennifer, who were seen on a train that was going from Chur to Zurich. As you said, there are direct trains from Buchs to Zurich, so the sisters, if they had started their journey at Buchs, would not be on the train they were on. They must have started riding the train at Sargans.
IR 1776 from Sargans to Zurich, 1239-1348 (LaKisha/Jennifer seen on this train)
IC 826 from Zurich to Visp, 1402-1602
R 249 from Visp to Zermatt, 1625-1734

They wouldn't allow a vehicle like that in Zermatt. Since I get the impression that teams are going in the station I will guess Sargans. If they are getting in the taxis then it is Feldkirch.
Post by: georgiapeach on April 21, 2011, 02:51:23 PM
Now...where do they need to LEAVE a train station by taxi besides Feldkirch? ??? Or is this a shot of two teams ARRIVING at a station?

If Herbert/Nathaniel (leaving Salzburg 2nd) and Jet/Cord (5th) get off the same train at Feldkirch, and Gary/Mallory (6th) are with at least one other team ("Now all the teams have passed us."), it suggests that the bunching includes at least five out of six teams. Zev/Justin were barely ahead of Herbert/Nathaniel, so I'm guessing it's a total bunch at the beginning of the next leg.

What penalty would it be if they U-Turned them again?
They wouldn't be allowed too. You can't U-Turn if you don't have a Courtesy Of Photo.
The rules may be different for this season of the Race.

Have we confirmed the location of this train station? We should be able to match the nice blue taxi or the station...

Way back when there was a Phil quote describing the Goths as the devious/sneaky team this year. And while they've had their sneaky moments (previous U-turn, Kent ditching Gary in India) they've been nowhere close to what we've seen in other seasons. I wonder if what happens is that the Goths try to talk the other teams into only U-turning the Cowboys, using the logic that they're the strongest team left in the Race, and that everyone else's chances are better if they can get rid of the Cowboys this leg.Well the other teams might/might not u-turn the cowboys.. but kynt and vyxsin have already used their u-turn.

Unfortunately, this is not completely out of the realm of possibility. :/
Post by: crystiluv on April 21, 2011, 06:01:41 PM
Just some speculation...
1. The comment Jet/Cord made about "this could be our last leg"... since it was from the confessional of the leg in Austria, it could've been something said about the previous leg, something like, "we were really thinking like, 'this could be out last leg'". the promos always try to trick you, so you never know what they mean.
2. Jet/Cord are almost definitely W-Turned by somebody because they would've definitely went for the luggage (the more physical detour) and the only problem they could've had would be finding the hotel to deliver it to, but seeing as Zermatt shouldn't be that hard to navigate, I think they would've figured it out.
3. "Ganging up on the cowboys" - FT/BE made that comment but since they mentioned it in the promos, I don't think they will be the ones to U-turn Jet/Cord. I doubt that it will be Kent/Vyxsin because a Blind W-Turn is highly unlikely.
4. Flight Time seems to be having trouble but I don't think he messed up in the calculations because he says its crazy but he doesnt seem pissed or anything, he's actually kind of saying it in a humored way.
5. I don't think Kent/Vyxsin U-Turned the cowboys. It's possible Kent was threatening to ruin the cowboys because they were the ones W-Turned by the cowboys, and not the other way around, because I wouldn't find it so hard for the cowboys to get ahead of the goths. However, seeing from Kent's mood, it doesn't seem to be that way because we all know by now that Kent can be quite whiny.
6. Of course CBS would make it look like the cowboys are in trouble. They know how many fans there are and it is a great way for them to get viewers.
7. Yes, Gary is getting gas for the moped, and although that seems pretty easy, it can mess up his calculations if it's not exactly on the route they are following. Also, it may be far away or hard to find. You can see the gas station in the corner of cap 6 of promo 1A. Not sure if this is the speed bump or not, but it seems likely, because a full tank of gas should be able to take them the full 18 km, so the only way someone would need gas would be that they didn't get a full tank to start with.

Still, I doubt many teams would listen to the Goths either because they dislike them, or they don't trust them. Gary/Mallory obviously wouldn't, and I think the 'ganging up on the cowboys' may just be many different teams with different agendas, all trying to take the cowboys out, seeing them as their strongest threat. You can kind of see the no one really likes the Goths, seeing their U-Turn, Kent ditching Gary, and how they lied about their penalty from Kunming.

This is a definite possibility. However I think Phil often exaggerates these types of things in interviews, so perhaps he really is only referring to the previous U-Turn and all. For example, before the Season 17 finale, Phil said in interviews things like, "The order of teams will be changing around," "You'll think you've got it all figured out and then it'll change." Not literally that, but something to the same effect, and it led to a lot of excitement and speculation. Of course, what really happened was that Nat and Kat were in 1st place going into the first taxi and stayed in 1st place the whole time. Brook and Claire passed Jill and Thomas at one point, but it wasn't as significant as everyone had hoped.
So I do think it's possible that the Goths will be sneaky about getting other teams to U-Turn the cowboys. But at the same time it's also very possible that Phil's only referring to the previous U-Turn and all that with his statement.

I speculate that Justin does the Roadblock, which would bring him to a count of five. :tup:i disagree for 2 reasons 1. i saw zev on the moped(assuming moped is rb) and 2. if it was justin he would only be able to do 1 last road block. either at the finale in which case zev has to do legs 10 and 11.

Kent/Vyxin was in the train right?
Anyways just a thought. I think all these "ganging up against the cowboys" are just discussions teams made when they saw "DOUBLE-U-TURN AHEAD" after they have departed from the pitstop. To me it seems like the producers are just trying to keep us on the edge of the seat by using the cowboys to put fear in us cowboys fan. To me it's extremely hard to assume that anyone has been u-turned.. even though most likely the cowboys are u-turned haha.

I disagree... we have seen in previous races since Season 16, teams can do 7 roadblocks...
Even if Justin does this roadblock, he can still do one more roadblock before the finale (with Zev doing one roadblock in either Leg 10 or 11) without hitting the roadblock count of 6...

My guts says Cowboys, Zev/Justin and Gallory are fine. Kent/Vxysin, Kisha/Jen might be in some trouble. As for the Trotters, why doesn't anyone think they would U-Turn the Cowboys? I think they would. They see the Cowboys and Zev/Justin as their biggest competition. If they can slow them down or eliminate them, I think they'd do it in a heartbeat! JMO

Is the Moped dealer near the gas station? Since we suspect the speedbump has something to do with gas, maybe they have to fill a certain amount of Moped tanks, including their own, before they are allowed to continue...? :duno:

Actually a lot of people have speculated that the Globetrotters U-Turn the cowboys, a few pages back. I think it's likely as well. My gut also says that Zev/Justin and Gallory are fine. They've gotten a pretty big edit despite the fact that they don't have Jet/Cord, Flight Time/Big Easy, and Kent/Vyxsin-size fan bases. I also feel like with all of the promo emphasis on the cowboys, they should be okay too, but it's a little iffy as this is a bad leg to be U-Turned on (since the Detour comes after the Roadblock; not much catch-up time here).

It's exactly 9.5 km to the gas station from the start and exactly 9.5 km from the gas station to Balzers.

It's possible that they've to stop at the gas station (80% sure it is the right one) and make sure they're on the right path? So they only have to do half the route over instead of the entire route?

We know from the press release that:
ONE Team struggles to consume a local delicacy (FONDUE) while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality (Luggage Delivery??)
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.
Reading this again closely... Could this mean that the SAME team that stuggles with the food detour ALSO struggles at the luggage task? In other words, could it be that the cowboys are the one's that lose the luggage tags, then switch detours, struggle mightily with the food task, only to then discover that they are U-turned??? If so, seems that would almost certainly spell their doom. What would happen in that case? Would they be forced to go back and search for the luggage tags until they find them, or would they have to start the entire task all over again???
Hoping this is NOT true...

I read it to mean that others struggle with the luggage while only ONE team has trouble with the fondue. That doesn't mean that that is what it means though. :lol:
I sure hope so.. I guess it's the word "ALSO" in upper case that leads me to think it might be the same team...
But then again, I suppose that if one team struggles at both, it could also be Zev and Justin, since they appear to be struggling at the food task.
Or maybe I am just overthinking again! :lol:

We know from the press release that:
ONE Team struggles to consume a local delicacy (FONDUE) while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality (Luggage Delivery??)
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.
Just to be clear:
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.
Is not a press release but is a peach clue. :angel
It could also be read as one team may struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.

No need for that! I think I understand what you mean... Just that ONE team struggles at the luggage task. Not related to who struggles at the food task at all. Could be the same team or could not be... But I am comforted by the fact that it is not DEFINITELY the same team that struggles at both!

I added another image of the gas station in the previous post, because once you find something, it just pours. There's only one station from that company in Liechtenstein, so it kind of has to be that...

The team that struggles could be anyone at this point. It could be Kynt and Vyxsin. It could also have something to do with the Episode Title.

Route Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cirN0Vcmvqo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cirN0Vcmvqo)
It's a video of the entire route the teams will take, but in the opposite direction. It starts in Balzers and ends in Schaanwald.

And yes, the speedbump should involve fueling the mopeds.
BUT we do have to remember that Gallory will have to do the speedbump BEFORE they start on the RB, so if that gas/petrol station is halfway along the RB route, I don't think we can say that that is where the speedbump takes place, right?? :(
And that video is a snoozefest, but look at all the roundabouts. Someone could easily get lost, or just go a couple of blocks out of their way, and have a wrong odometer reading. Navigation is a good thing in this task.
And that vid goes S>North, took me the whole thing to figure that out!
Post by: raina on April 22, 2011, 05:06:10 PM
And that vid goes S>North, took me the whole thing to figure that out!I finally slapped myself awake to see a bit of it and saw that it was South to North.. I was all happy to see the gas station pass by. It really is a snooze although I do feel like I virtually did the roadblock now.
I think you're right about this not being the speedbump spot. I speculated earlier that it could be just a check in spot to make sure they're doing it right? Like you wouldn't want to send a team back the entire way, so they could do it in two segments. Or it could be just a passing shot, who knows?
Glad the map was a little useful! Thanks!

Ok some ppl said that there was a 13:48 train that Jet/Cord, Kisha/Jen, FT/BE were seen on..
Was there another there another train earlier or later? Or was it a bunch train?
I was the one that saw Kisha and Jen on that particular train. I didnt see any other teams. The train was only lightly occupied. If there was another team on I would have seen them.
From what we know now I'm pretty sure that they rode the RJ362 from Salzburg to Feldkirch (since the screencap shows them arriving in Feldkirch in daylight).

I don't see anything in the tasks thought to be for the detour options, or the roadblock that would give the Cowboys any particular problem, or more of a problem than for the other teams. They've shown again and again that they're particularly adept at tasks.
They may well be U-Turned, but I suspect that move on the part of any of the other teams except for Kent-Vyxzen who can't do it, will backfire; and if Kent-Vxyzen lobby other teams to do it, it may still backfire in their faces.
Which team would struggle in the fondue task -- a team without a strong stomach for the taste of Swiss cheese (which is often what is used in fondue). Which team would have trouble with the luggage task, a team that has trouble with tasks requiring strength. At the moment, I don't expect any of the teams would stuggle with the moped task; but we may not know all there is to know about that task yet, so we'll see.
The editors made a point of giving us a flashback to the Cowboys worse-to-first-plus-a-spredback leg in their original season; I suspect this week may be something similar. Who goes home? I don't know, but I do think Kent-Vxyzen deserve to at this point.

When Gary is leaving the gas station in promo 1A, he says "It's like the Tour de France." Well... in the Tour de France, if im not mistaken, there are checkpoints and you must stop at each one and check in to finish the race? Gary could be comparing to that... I think the gas station is DEFINITELY a checkpoint.
He was referring to "streaming" behind another racer , not to checkpoints, I believe.

:didimiss: Why is everybody certain Gary is getting gas instead of just passing by the Agip station on Landstrasse? I've run through the video a few times and I still don't see it. ???I think you're right about it not being the pitstop. In the promo, they don't seem to be slowing down while going by the station/stone wall area.

Something I've been wondering about is this cap:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/Promo%201/18-9-promo1-caps0178-Copy.jpg)
Why the second red and white location circle? Might that be the speed bump location? In searching for bikeshops, there are four listed for bike rental in Liechtenstein. The two I mentioned earlier and another one in Triesen. All three are down south after Vaduz. However, the last one is in Mauren which is west of Schaanwald close to the starting location.
This is the one in Mauren: http://fahrradshop.li/%C3%9Cberuns/Lageplan/tabid/77/Default.aspx (http://fahrradshop.li/%C3%9Cberuns/Lageplan/tabid/77/Default.aspx)
(http://i52.[banned image hosting site].com/2ekrlsx.jpg)
A is the location of the Mauren Bike Rental Shop (Martin's Fahrradshop AG) and B is the Agrola Gas Station (the northernmost gas station in Liechtenstein). Could work? It would give a reason for that second location on the map.

I believe the term is "drafting." It means, in Tour de France terms, to get behind another rider and let the rider in front take the wind. It takes less effort for the following rider to keep the same speed. In Gary's case, it might mean that he uses less gas.
Wasn't Gary a triathlete? If so, he's probably got a lot of experience with cycling drafting if he does training rides with a bike club and might actually be able to apple what he's learned to the mopeds.

1.64 swiss francs per liter (cheapest gas)
X3.78 liters per gallon
X1.01 dollars per swiss franc (07 Dec exchange rate)
=6.26 USD per gallon equivalent
Is that right? I'm not going to stop griping about the $4.20 I just paid :'(, but it puts things into perspective.
Post by: livingincm on April 22, 2011, 08:38:55 PM
1) Jen (?) - Dropped her map
2) Vyxin - Lost
3) Gary - Unsure of his readings
4) Justin (?) - Lost
5) Jet - Made the wrong turn at the last town -
The only teams that are unseen is FT/BE. It's either they are first or last. If they are first to finish the roadblock it makes sense if the cowboys are u-turned.
Post by: raina on April 22, 2011, 09:19:55 PM
The photo of Jet above is a little bit south of the Agip gas station and right near the earlier linked photo. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasandersen/2456922850/sizes/l/in/photostream/). (Overhead shot that has the COOP gas station to the left. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbr42/294475007/sizes/l/in/photostream/))
Are gas prices that high now? Being on sick leave I've no idea what prices are right now! They were $3.60 last time I got gas. I wonder what the gas mileage is for those things.. and how big the tank is?
I wish we had gotten a little bit of Zermatt. Maybe tomorrow. Goodnight, folks!

That jibes with the order they finished last week, except Vyxsin (but Vyxsin + map = automatic drop in the standings)

Current standings in the sneak preview)! (Assuming clips are in general chronological order)
Ahead: Jennifer & Justin
Middle: Vyxsin
Behind: Jet & Gary
No idea about Herbert/Nathaniel. Most likely ahead, if the Speed Bump has already been completed!
Map coming soon.
Ahead unless they have to redo the whole thing. :lol:

From north to south:
Jet and Gary at Vaduz. (0:25)
Jennifer just north of Triesen. (0:05)
Vyxsin just north of Balzers. (0:18)
Jennifer and Justin at Balzers. (0:53)
Vyxsin is on the right path, but this is where the main road veers off to Switzerland and a smaller one goes on straight to Balzers.

From the promo, it seems like almost all of the teams had problems
1) Jen (?) - Dropped her map
2) Vyxin - Lost
3) Gary - Unsure of his readings
4) Justin (?) - Lost
5) Jet - Made the wrong turn at the last town -
The only teams that are unseen is FT/BE. It's either they are first or last. If they are first to finish the roadblock it makes sense if the cowboys are u-turned.
i think a few pages back, we speculated that FT was going "backwards". so maybe he made a mistake and is behind everyone?

Two black arrows. Two red arrows. Speculate! Do the black arrows fit Raina's circles? (It doesn't seem like it.)

Also, Jennifer points away from the "red arrows" and towards Balzers Castle when directing Justin.
Post by: DrRox on April 23, 2011, 04:38:02 AM
In that screencap of Jennifer at the Balzers border crossing......it didnt look like there was anyone there to meet her or to turn in the moped too. That might take place at the castle.
That location of Jennifer and Justin on Reitstrasse, to me, looks like they are trying to find their way up to the castle AFTER finishing the measuring.
Jennifer is pretty good with maps. In Season 14, when they were in Munich, Jennifer was in the back seat with maps trying to tell Kisha where to go. Kisha wouldnt listen to her and they ended up driving on one of the ring roads and wasted a lot of time. If Kisha had paid attention to Jennifer, they would have cut across the city on another autobahn on a clear shortcut.

One might assume that the Cowboys struggled with the luggage but there are several teams they did not show doing the detour. I am going to say that Zev & Justin struggle with the fondue and Jet/Cord were U-Turned and another team struggled with the luggage... Kent/Vxysin I hope! :snicker:

Gary ... If he does have experience with biking it also means he has experience in reading the maps. I wouldn't be surprised if he did do this on the first try.
He is a PILOT as well. Maps and fuel should be a cinch for him.

This fountain was dedicated to Ulrich Inderbinen, a famous Swiss mountain climber who climbed the Matterhorn many times (this information is from Neobie and Slowhatch, not me).
Neobie said he thought this might be a Pit Stop. Is that what you mean, Peach?
Post by: raina on April 23, 2011, 01:22:31 PM
I think maybe they have to "report in" to Balzers Castle after measuring. I think it may be posible they pick up the mopeds at Schaanwald, then go back to the border crossing and start measuring...........then end measuring at the Balzers border crossing. Then go to Balzers Castle to turn in milage and moped and get route info to Zermatt.This seems to be the most likely thing. The route I laid out was based on the promo map thing, but the map that Vyxsen is holding goes border to border. (That makes sense if they're measuring the length.) Their route is a little different from the one in that video which goes from the bridge to Sargans (as can be seen in Neobie's map) to border crossing near Schaanwald (right start point). And the small red/white circle is probably where they go pick up their mopeds as was speculated. Google says it's 10.3 km from border to gas station, so Gary would be quite close. Maybe they forgot to measure the zillion roundabouts. :lol: Either way seems way closer than Jet's 17km and hopefully that means good things for Gary and Mal Mal.
In that screencap of Jennifer at the Balzers border crossing......it didnt look like there was anyone there to meet her or to turn in the moped too. That might take place at the castle.
That location of Jennifer and Justin on Reitstrasse, to me, looks like they are trying to find their way up to the castle AFTER finishing the measuring.
---
peach if the castle is where they go after the measurement, would both team members be going up there as we Jet and Cord doing in the earlier cap? Now that I think about it, that's similar to first roadblock in that they finished the puzzle and then had to go and give the answer as a team and I'm sure there are a lot of other similar examples, but just seemed a little odd.
---
And now I've the Lonely Goatherd stuck in my head. I think it means only one team gets U-Turned. :neener: Just kidding. I've not thought about it much.

Nice find! It reminds me of those manual pumps from season 13 that Dandrew couldn't figure out. This one may not be manual though.
Whether it be manual or not, I think Gary will figure it out, considering he was once a pilot... he should know about this stuff.
BTW, do you think it's the Weilenmann Garage behind them in the background?
Post by: georgiapeach on April 23, 2011, 03:34:47 PM
On the CBS homepage, i found a picture of Gary and Mallory. It looks like a speedbump to me, and it looks like some kind of a gas pump. Anybody recognize this location?

OH MY PEACH............... You had really lost your mind!more clues, please. <--- I do really love your clues Peach... I always try to solve it, but had no guts to really post what I think about it... I'm a cowboy fan that's why I'm getting more nervous everyday... I hope the cowboys will be safe this leg... :'(
And this one's for you bystander...so you BETTER comment!! Even if it just to say has peach lost her mind??!! :lol:
I have been viewing the video three times already... AND many things are going through my mind right now...
Does the video had something to do with the girl and goatherd??? <--- just one of the things going on my mind! hehe XD
_____________________________________________
I've been thinking about the promo where Gary went with Jet.... Is it possible that both of them helped each other to get the correct answer... It is seen in the video that Gary wants to go with Jet...
Jen w/ Justin ----> makes easier navigation
Gary w/ Jet ----> makes easier calculation
Vyxin ----> alone; as compared to JenJustin & GaryJet
FT ----> not seen on the video... but was alone also in the previous promos
ALONE ----> bad navigation and you only have yourself for the calculation, no one to confirm it with unlike the pairing of two teams
If Gary gets it right, then probably Jet will just follow Gary's calculation since he was sure he had a wrong turn... therefore most probably Gary and Jet finished this task at the same time... as it is true also for Justin and Jen...
_______________________________________________
The previous promos had Cord and the Globetrotters at the same place before the moped task(???)
It made me think they almost started the moped task the same time.... If Jet had the wrong turn, there's a possibility that FT had a wrong turn too or had it right... while Jet was making up for the wrong turn... Gary was able to catch up....
_______________________________________________
I don't know where I will put the placing of FT and Vyxsin....
The placement in the first task...
Zev & Justin / Kisha & Jen ---> Either would not U-turn each other as they paired up in navigating to find the location
----> Either of these two teams U-turned the cowboys (thinking that the cowboys were really U-turned; Zev and Justin most probably did it)
[Vyxin or FT probably places here unless they got lost or need to redo the task]
Gary & Mallory / Jet & Cord ---> Won't probably U-turn each other as they went together
----> If ever Jet & Cord arrived on the U-turn Mat before Gary & Mallory, I think they won't U-turn them, or vice-versa because They are Good american people... ( both teams I really think are good people... hehe)
[Vyxin or FT probably places here if they got lost or need to redo to calculate again]
________________________________________________
If Jet & Cord were U-turned... They might have finished the luggage task fast... and was hungry enough after that to eat all the cheese...
The team that gets eliminated could have really messed-up in the moped task....
________________________________________________
I do really hope so that it will not be the cowboys who will get eliminated... :js:

The fact that Sound of Music was used has got me thinking it's a Von Trapp family-esque thing
Which obviously would be in Salzburg
Maybe something similar to the tea tasting in Kunming before heading to Kolkata?

Did I miss something? My cable company lists the finale as May 8th, but that makes only 11 episodes, not 12.Is the episodes on your country 1 week delayed as compared to the US???
Post by: bystander on April 23, 2011, 06:24:51 PM
I thought Kaiser as well, Peach. But then thought the building looked all wrong from top. It's right near the border crossing/start line, though, which makes a lot more sense than a place in Schaan. Also it does look like some construction crane looking things in that image of Gary/Mallory.
Also, I think the mopeds are a model of Velosolex. They're a pretty old model, but classics in the industry... so that's interesting.
Yes to kaiser, yes to crane looking things... Kaiser had those colors for their crane looking things also... XD

Here's a clue...
Who's the most famous (well know) living Liechtensteiner?
The only Liechtensteiners I can put names to are the skiing Wenzel family that won a bunch of Olympic medals in the 70s and 80s.
Post by: crystiluv on April 23, 2011, 07:20:53 PM
I think this logo matches what we see behind them?
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/kaiseraglogo.gif)
In which case this may be where they are, even up on the hillside in the picture??
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2018/Ep%209%20Liechtenstein%20and%20Switzerland/TAR18ep9Kaisarag.jpg)
Vorarlbergerstrasse 220, Schaanwald, 9486, Liechtenstein
You GE guys will have to say if this is a match?
View Larger Map
:hearts: :<3 This must be it. The logo definitely matches and the location appears to be right because it's before Schaanwald where we think the mopeds are being rented or whatever. :hearts: :<3

I consider the Wenzel's to be German - although the Olympic committee disagrees...
Did you know that Liechtensteiners have won more Olympic gold medals per capita than any other country?

If not, in my random wanderings I've discovered there's a goat promenade in Zermatt every morning and every evening... but I think the teams arrive too late for that to have any significance. :lol: B:)
Perhaps "High on the Hill" is a reference... to I don't know... there are some hotels on nearby hills... and an English church... and some other stuff.
Or... lonely goatherd.. high on a hill... Sound of Music... I'll just go to bed instead. :waves: Happy Easter!

Hahaha in the promo, jennifer & justin made a mistake i guess. Cos jen mentioned "I bet all the teams have to do this all over again".
I agree with you on the jet & gary part. (Haha mostly cos im a cowboy fan LOL. And also it made sense).
Im pretty sure Jet & Gary will help each other out in the task.
It's hard to predict the verdict of Kent/Vyxin because Vyxin said (in promo 1B) -> "The cowboys are gonna get iced" and they were looking pretty happy.
Let's assume the cowboys are u-turned. The only team that would u-turn the cowboys are FT&BE and Zev/Justin.
As i mentioned, Jen & Justin made a mistake.
Therefore, i think the order of the teams finishing the roadblock is
1) Kent & Vyxin
2) FT & BE
2) Jet & Cord
3) Gary & Mallory
5) Zev/Justin
6) Jen & Kisha
And FT & BE u-turned the cowboys.
I speculate that the team that have trouble with the food is Jen & Kisha followed by Kent & Vyxin for the luggage task.
:)
Just my guess.

:)
Just my guess.
I remembered that Peach once posted that Vyxin is doing quite a nice job navigating this season...
Thinking more about it, I think Vyxin did it slowly but surely... Though it took her long to do the task, but she did it in one try... making them the first one to finish it...
Did really jen & justin made a mistake??? maybe I wasn't able to hear what jen said in the caps... I thought she said... something like... she doesn't want to do it all over again... it is more on they are helping each other to go to the end of the task... but thinking on what you have said, and by the looks on how jen is worried... they might have redone the task to get the correct length...
by the statement of Kent and Vyxin... they can't be the one who U-turned the cowboys... but by the looks of it... somebody was at the U-turn Mat before them... they might have seen the cowboys being U-turned... But I can't see it fit why they were on a bus, not unless they were going to a pit stop which is unlikely because they could have taken a cab... These statement might have been said on the bus going to the detour... things are still vague for me....

Well we know cowboys can catch up if they are 1 hour behind in the beginning of the leg, (( Passed 2 legs )) but almost 75% through the leg, meh, I am not sure if they can catch up to beat someone..
That is why the roadblock is very crucial... If indeed they were U-turned, then they have to be in the middle who finishes the moped task... and gain at least 30-45 minutes from that task ahead of at least 1 team so that it will be just consumed on the detour tasks... The only thing we need to hope is that Gary was able to help in the calculations of Jet, then others redone the task or lost for quite sometime... I do hope they got U-turned than the ones who could have lost the luggage receipt... Losing the receipt is good as getting U-turned... you need to put some effort in finding it first then to realize they have to switch task then have a hard time eating....

Most likely.
This episode will cut 6 teams down to 5.
Ep.10 (cooks in the kitchen) will cut from 5 to 4.
1st half of finale will cut to final 3 and then the 2nd half will show the champ.

@ianinator: LOL I thought it was a camera or something like that :lol:....
You're so thoughtful, Cord :P
Racers always wear a wireless microphone. It is normally on the beltline. Everything they say is recorded by the sound man. When racers have to be farther away from the soundman, then they use that chest pack microphone. It is waterproof and more powerful than the belt pack microphone. This enables the racers to be farther away from the soundman.

I really dont mean to rain on your speculations or calculations. From the Transportation Thread, we know that the racers "probably" arrived in Feldkick at approx 0946. We know that Kisha/Jen caught a 1239 train in Sargans to Zurick. So give them 14 minutes to get from Feldkirk Station to Schaanwald and start the moped RB. It is only 3 miles from the station to Schaanwald. Then give Kisha/Jen 39 minutes to get from Balzers Castle by bus to Sargans station to catch that train.
It probably means that it took Jen about 2 hours to do that RB. We are talking about measuring a course ~13-14 miles long, with a speed limit of 30mph. How many times does it appear that Jen traveled that course.....in all directions? It appears to me that Jen had to do 3 trips. 1st one down and wrong answer. 2nd one back to the north border. 3rd one down south. Since she knows where to go this time, she gets a right answer and then is off to the trains. Since she appears to be working with Justin, one could assume he got an incorrect answer too. As Jen said.......she thinks All the teams will be doing it over. I think placing teams in any kind of order, will be very misleading from the info we have at this time.
As far as the W-Turn, I am with the_schnauzers. I just dont see any team using it. The only one that I would think would do that, K/V, have already used theirs. Teams are not stupid. They will all realize they are just one clue away from the Pit Stop. I think they will all decline U-Turning any other team and haul buns to the Pit Stop.

Oh wow thanks... I didn't know that :P@ianinator: LOL I thought it was a camera or something like that :lol:....
You're so thoughtful, Cord :P
Racers always wear a wireless microphone. It is normally on the beltline. Everything they say is recorded by the sound man. When racers have to be farther away from the soundman, then they use that chest pack microphone. It is waterproof and more powerful than the belt pack microphone. This enables the racers to be farther away from the soundman.
Can you give me the link to post questions about TAR, I want to ask something... (like how can they film when they doing difficult task like diving, climbing, racing...)
... oh and I think Jet & Cord will be safe next leg, 'cuz I noticed that their confession in the promo was from previous episode, not the newset... is that a way to "fish" viewers from CBS? 'Cuz they did know that there were a lot of Jet & Cord fans here... :D

Well we know cowboys can catch up if they are 1 hour behind in the beginning of the leg, (( Passed 2 legs )) but almost 75% through the leg, meh, I am not sure if they can catch up to beat someone..
That is why the roadblock is very crucial... If indeed they were U-turned, then they have to be in the middle who finishes the moped task... and gain at least 30-45 minutes from that task ahead of at least 1 team so that it will be just consumed on the detour tasks... The only thing we need to hope is that Gary was able to help in the calculations of Jet, then others redone the task or lost for quite sometime... I do hope they got U-turned than the ones who could have lost the luggage receipt... Losing the receipt is good as getting U-turned... you need to put some effort in finding it first then to realize they have to switch task then have a hard time eating....

I understand if you wanted to rain on my speculations. There weren't major calculations on what I posted. What I just wanted to say was that they need that lead to at least equalize the U-turn that may or may not place into them... As for your calculations, I do hope that only jen and justin recalculated or any team other than my bets (jet/cord & gary/mallory)... It does give me hopes that the cowboys are not eliminated, but I do hope if they are safe that they place somewhere in the top three that leg... :tup:

So... he will make an appearance? Maybe at Balzers castle? It would be smart of WRP to feature a well known figure among the people there. They are usually good about that. :js:

We know from the press release that:
ONE Team struggles to consume a local delicacy (FONDUE) while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality (Luggage Delivery??)
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.
Luggage tags! :o Don't forget your receipt!!

I like bystander's comment about losing a luggage receipt being a defacto U-Turn. It fits with Peach's clue too.

OK... If the cowboys decided to switch detour after losing the receipt and do cheese instead that is fine. If they are the ones who lost the receipt AND got U-Turned to boot, they are sunk. They have to COMPLETE both detour options in the U-Turn. They would first have to find the receipt or get a new one and then go do the cheese.

I predict that Gary got it right, Jet got it wrong and Gallory are ahead of Jet & Cord at this point.
Post by: bystander on April 24, 2011, 11:16:41 AM
Another thing that I am struggling with... When Gary met up with Jet on the moped task, Gary said his od reading was 10.75 and Jet said his was 17.5 and that he thought he took a wrong turn somewhere. Wouldn't Jet have to go back to the beginning before heading out with Gary or at least do the task over to get the correct reading I wonder? I can't see Gary (who is already a bit behind) waiting for Jet to go all the way back to the start and then come back for him. More likely that Jet continued on with Gary in hopes he would be close enough and then possibly had to repeat the task?
I predict that Gary got it right, Jet got it wrong and Gallory are ahead of Jet & Cord at this point.
They only had to calculate the length... I guess that it is legal to follow somebody's answer especially if they were helping each other... They only had to show their calculations, if they had the wrong answer they can approximate on how much they travelled the wrong way or the turn abouts... the best way though to get it right is to redo it again... :duno:

The Promo's say they have to measure... Unless someone is keeping extremely good notes, there is no way they could accurately calculate if they know they have taken wrong turns or traveled the wrong way for any amount of time. They would almost certainly have to repeat it if they were wrong the first time. There shouldn't be any excuse not to get it right the second time. If Gary got it right the first time and they accept Jet's 'Copy' calculations from Gary, they should be fine then. I was just thinking the Odometer reading had to be correct or only off by a small amount.

Thanks for the photo of the Kaiser building, tombc52! So it's not their main factory building but probably something nearby? We'll find out soon enough.
My personal hope is that one of the three non-Kentucky teams goes home, but I honestly don't mind either way. It's all fun.

You can see the building in this video at 0:22 seconds and then the little parking lot area/hill area? where they would've taken the shot from... I think since it was winter, the trees wouldn't obstruct the view. You can see a few of them in the shot of Gary/Mallory.

I'm hoping Peach is just trying to trick us all and it's actually someone completely unexpected like the Globetrotters, but... it's really stacking up against the cowboys.
The video that Peach has from the last episode is really tripping me out though. Is she trying to tell us that they're not leaving until they have to (Not yet, I hope)? Or is she trying to tell us that they're only here for one more leg?
Must wait another 2.5 hours to find out... Going to pass out... *dies* :'(

I'm predicting a great episode keeping us all on the edge of our seats the whole time.
Kind of off topic, but does anyone else think the roadblock seemed like an amazing idea? It seems like a task that every racer would remember forever and it also seems like it could put a whole lot of distance between the great navigators and the so-so ones if it's executed well.

Peach speak is not all that hard... She basically handed it on a silver platter and pretty bow with the video in the summary thread. Up to that point, I was fairly sure the Cowboys were safe.
But I got to tell ya... I didn't choose the Cowboys to get eliminated in my game. I chose Zev & Justin. We saw some answers in another game that indicated them and then mis-read something at the CBS sight. The voice inside my head kept thinking of the video but I was explaining it away saying... They get eliminated next week... One more week. OMG
I was going to go change it at the very, very, very last minute to Jet & Cord and by that time I was too late.
The biggest mistake the Dumboys made was Jet taking off and leaving Gary behind. DORK! See, he thought he was so smart and sneaky and the karma hit him full force in the butt at the end! LOL

I really liked the Detour, but thought that the help that all the racers gave one another was really a huge turn-off. The Roadblock was supposed to be a good one, but there should be a rule written that you cannot help one another. Even if it means Gary and Mallory getting eliminated, at least that's fair.
This just proves that you can't just SOLO on the race and you'll need some help at one point or another.
The cowboys played a fair game. The rests are cheaters. Have been watching the amazing race when they first air and never missed an episode. This episode is just a turn-off. Will stop watching the amazing race from now on.

The cowboys wouldn't be elimintaed if not for the social factor (other teams helping almost all the others except the cowboys) but it's part of the game. It's becoming a lot like Survivor these days.
I wish K & V will be eliminated next. I actually like them during the first few episodes but Kent is becoming a pain to watch lately.
Hoping gallory wins the race.

Especially before an episode airs when spoiling should take precedence.
A little note on editing: We've figured out that Jennifer tells Justin about the loss of her map on their way to Balzers Castle, after the handing-over of answers, so the two scenes were shown to the viewer out of order. It seems to be adding on to the (in my opinion, inane) "cheaters" hatefest going on. But for TPTB, does it achieve a more coherent storyline?
Good job on this leg, guys! And a very strong first impression you're making, Raina!
Also, do you spot Uncle Cameraman in this classic shot? :waves:

Had Jet not got cocky and sped off leaving Gary behind in the RB, he would have got help too and not had to repeat the task. The Trotters would probably be gone right now, not the Cowboys. That was Jet's fault, not anyone else's. JMO
The U-Turns are put there for teams to U-Turn other teams. It's the nature of the game. Would the Trotters have made the PS without U-Turning the Boys? Probably. But Jet and Cord were so close behind them that they couldn't take the risk... Things can change on the way to the PS and they wanted to make sure they had plenty of time. Can't blame the Trotters for covering their own butts.
Now it's time for the Cowboy fans to pick themselves by the boot straps and pick another team to get behind and root for! Go Gallory! Go Zev & Justin!

to be honest, I enjoy watching Kent & Vyxsin, sure they're not the best racers but they're still a lot of fun.
Still, I would pick Jet & Cord over Kent & Vyxsin ANYDAY
Kent's whining is more amusing than annoying, I nearly died laughing watching Vyxsin literally "drag" Kent in the luggage cart

(but Vyxsin + map = automatic drop in the standings)
My apologies to Vyxsin. She figured it out on her own, despite her doubts over her wadded-up map, and maintained their third place standing afterall. Her decision to put Kent in the luggage cart was a riot.

I actaully think Gary may have already had it too, even though FT gave him the number?
I think so too. I just re-watched. Justin & Jen helped each other, then they helped Herb. I think Gary helped Vxysin with the map and I think he had the number right but Herb confirmed it. Although they didn't show it, I think Gary helped Jet with the map and then Gary fell in behind Jet who then took off but he was so far off that he had to redo it. LOL :groan: He should have thrown out the 17.5 and taken Gary's 10.75 at that gas station and went from there.
Post by: DrRox on April 25, 2011, 11:31:19 AM
I believe Justin and Vyxsin are the only ones who solved it on their own, besides the cowboys..
I went back and watched. Justin and Jen both had correct numbers, all Justin did was confirm Jen's number. He didnt tell her the number, just that her number was correct. The crazy editing makes it look like they helped each other out before they got to the check in point. When Jen offered to read the map for Justin, that was after they both got correct numbers and were on the way to the castle......editing makes it look like it was before.
Vyxsin got help from Gary. She actually parked the moped and started trying to find local help before Gary arrived. Flight Time got the correct milage from Jen and then gave it to Gary, even though Gary probably already had the correct number.
The Gary/Vyxsin collaboration might be similiar to the Justin/Jen deal........after they had already checked in with correct milage and were looking for the castle........I just need to find that location and see.
Post by: lovetherace on April 25, 2011, 12:08:44 PM
Sorry, wasn't sure how to do the quote thing in the box.
Actually, I agree with a poster on another forum, that Jet did actually use Gary's number at the end of the RB but screwed up the calculation. He already knew he'd made mistakes when he saw Gary at the gas station; since he was possibly off by more than 6 km, he knew he'd have to go a long way back from the gas station to try again. Using Gary's info made sense, especially since Gary was willing to help. I also think he might have stuck with Gary to get past another tricky navigation, and that's when he went on ahead. So I don't think the Cowboy's game was any "fairer" than anyone else. They all got help at some point on the RB.
Also agree that Gary probably was already on track with the correct final number, and Flight Time's info basically just confirmed it.
IMO, Jet basically shot himself in the foot (sorry, couldn't resist!). The cowboys had two big flaws that came into play in this RB - not so great navigational skills, and too much of the lone ranger attitude. Don't mean they should have been friendly with the other teams to get info (though again, Gary was willing to help), but that they should have paid attention to keeping other teams in sight. If Jet had stuck with Gary, at least he'd know that they'd both have to go back to the start if their final number was wrong. The cowboys were so good generally at smoking the tasks, the chance of them blasting through a Detour ahead of Gary and Mallory was pretty good (especially, as it turned out, Gary had trouble getting going on the luggage task). Instead, Jet was the only one who had to go all the way back to the start, and it cost them.
Not sure the info sharing bothered me, maybe because I feel the teams have been working hard through all these legs. The possible exception is Flight Time; had the impression once he realized he was screwed up, he just coasted looking for someone to tell him the correct answer. The other teams used help, but seemed to put in a good effort. I guess at least Flight Time paid it forward by offering the info to Gary...

:bigwelcome to RFF! That is exactly what I have always thought about the cowboys. So good at tasks most of the time but they have those glaring flaws that make it hard for them to keep up. It's sad because they are a fun team to watch and have many good qualities.

Jet's incorrect answer was 35 km. Even if he'd subtracted 6.75 km from that in order to match Gary's calculation, he would've gotten 28.25, which would've still been wrong. :duno:

What Noisack's point (quoted from TWoP) is that Jet got 28km on his odometer, but added 6km instead of subtracting it to get an (even more) incorrect answer.

22 x 1.6 =35
I hope that we can hear from the cowboys what went wrong.
Also, they may not have appreciated the U-Turn by Herb and Nate, but let's be realistic. Those GT boys have had numerous challenges finding pits tops in general (they were ahead of Zev and Justin last week and still ended up arriving about 15 minutes later and missed out on getting the cars). They may have only been minutes ahead of the cowboys and trying to navigate in the dark.
And personally, I don't think any of the remaining teams will have a problem with it, since many expressed concern on how well the Cowboys race. I don't think any of the remaining teams is really scared of the GTs winning it all.

- FT makes his wrong turn in central Schaan (the Restaurant Central (http://restaurant-central.li/) can be seen in the background). This may account for the north-bound caps.
- I am certain of only Justin having the correct answer (but I need new ears: I would swear he says "forty-two kilometers"). Jen and Gary might have had the correct answers, but we'll never know because of the editing.
- The answers Jet and Vyxsin provided were written in the same hand. :snicker:

good point, probably Jet is over confident. He thought Gary was last place in the last leg, He didn't really want to team up with him. That kind of mindset cost them. But he should remember at task like this, it is very easy to screw up and you don't want to do it again.
But a second thought, who would think everyone else confirms their number before hand it over?
I could only say, Jet plays by the rule in a silly and normal way while others play in a smart, astute and realistic way.
Post by: GeKKou on April 25, 2011, 10:21:56 PM
if Jet got the wrong number, why didn't he just think for a while and try to figure out the right answer before redo the whole task?
Probably, he thought it was the rule, you have to redo it.
If the rule is that strict, odometer should play its role. Because if one is not allowed to figure out the right number after the task, then he shouldn't be allowed to confirm the answer before the task as well.
Let's suppose, Jet got the wrong number, then he figured for a while , he did some substraction and addition. Then he got the right number, do you think he still need to go back and redo the task? Or, if Jet finds someone to ask for the right number, would he have to redo the task?
The rule is really there to trick people. Jet thought at least one other team would get the wrong answer.
The situation is really like a maths test, while everyone else is checking and confirming their answers before they submit the test paper and one student doesn't check and he gets the wrong answer and he has to redo the test.
I really hate those who design leg9.

Going by Phil's description of the task, racers did have to go back and redo the task if they got it wrong, but this is not a new rule. I distinctly remember Don saying of the counting Detour in THAT Sweden leg of TAR 6. "What if I just keep saying numbers and get the right one?"
Turns out that didn't work for him.

Helping each other at different points in the Race is so common. Teams have helped each other nearly every single season at one point or another, so why is everyone so shocked and appauled and calling foul??

I disagree to some extent.
If Jet stayed with Gary, two things may have happened:
1. Other teams would help Gary and then Gary would give the answer to Jet.
and the most likely is
2. The other teams, as much as they would like to help Gary, won't do a thing since Gary is with Jet. They would return to the starting point together.
If you watch most of the episodes and the first few minutes of this episode. One thing is common. The other teams respect and marvel at how the Cowboys can do tasks quickly and they are wary of the two.
The only reason the Uturn was not used for the cowboys by the first four teams is because they knew thay are far behind in the detour that it is not needed.
in short, the cowboys have bull's eyes on their backs all along. Bull's eyes on Cowboys backs. There's a nice ring to it

The computation on the left is extra distance Jet had traveled when he meet Gary (6.81 km ?). The computation on the right was at the end. It has Jet's odometer reading on top ( 28.xx km) and the first computation. What Jet did, was to add, instead of subtracting. If he would have subtracted the final computation, he would have had 22 km, instead of 35 km.

The general consensus is; Gary already knew the right number and Herb just confirmed it. Gary probably would have shared the number with Jet. The other teams didn't use the U-Turn because they knew multiple teams were behind them. The Trotters used it because they knew the Cowboys had the ability to beat them, they were too close for comfort. The Cowboys were good and yes everyone was aware of it but I don't think anyone, maybe with the exception of KENT and Vxysin, had it out for them.

Jet and Cord arrived in Zermatt ONE HOUR behind G/M, K/V, FT/BE and 1.5 Hours behind Z/J, K/J. It appears it took about one hour to do either detour. Give FT/BE an extra 15 minutes to retrieve the lost receipts.......that means they were ahead 30-45 minutes when they U-Turned Jet and Cord........they were in no way in jepardy of being caught.

I don't think the Trotters used the U-Turn to turn a knife in the boys back (just to be mean), they used it to ensure there would be absolutely no way the boys could beat them. It doesn't matter if they had 30 or 45 minutes on the Boys, they are a good team, everyone knew it and it was simply as insurance. I mean, what if they got lost, the Taxi lost power or got a flat tire... That 30-45 minute lead could have easily been lost. Just sayin'.

I mean, what if they got lost, the Taxi lost power or got a flat tire... That 30-45 minute lead could have easily been lost. Just sayin'.

Slowhatch............Here is his tally, taken from a cap at the border crossing. I can't make any sense of it. ???

The computation on the left is extra distance Jet had traveled when he meet Gary (6.81 km ?). The computation on the right was at the end. It has Jet's odometer reading on top ( 28.xx km) and the first computation. What Jet did, was to add, instead of subtracting. If he would have subtracted the final computation, he would have had 22 km, instead of 35 km.
I don't see how he would have gotten the correct answer even if subtracted at the end. Assuming that the extra distance Jet traveled is 6.81 km, to get to his answer 35 km, he would have an odometer reading of 28.19 km. If he subtracted, he still wouldn't have gotten 22 km, even if he rounded... Unless he doesn't know how to round. :duno:
It's hard to make out what he wrote. When Gary met up with Jet, Gary said he had 10.75 km while Jet had 17.5 km... That would've given him 6.75 km... except I don't think I see it on the piece of paper. :nut:
Assuming that racers rounded their answers, he would have needed a number somewhere between 28.25 km to 29.24 km to be able to subtract 6.75 km to get the answer.

Jet said in an interview that, after getting the number from Gary, he made a few more wrong turns. He did his best to guess the distance he'd gone in the wrong direction and subtract that from his odometer reading, but since he didn't know the exact distance his final answer was still pretty far off.

That makes much more sense. I don't think he would've gotten the answer even if he did his math correctly.

Left side: 17.37-10.76=6.61
Right side: 28.52+6.61=35.13
If he subtracted the 6.61 he would have gotten 28.52-6.61=21.91
So if that paper is Jet's calculation, maybe he did add instead of subtract.

http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-jet-mccoy-and-cord-mccoy-talk-about-the-amazing-race-12226.php
Jet and Cord really seem to think they were just minutes behind the GTs before the U-turn, and I wonder...I suppose based on the trains, there is info about when they were most likely to have arrived in town for the Detour, and so how far behind they were. Initially, I thought they were totally out of it, mostly finishing alone, but I wasn't paying close attention.
On rewatching, I was surprised to see they actually ran into other teams while delivering the luggage (at least Gary/Mallory, plus someone else, or G/M twice). The article says J/C saw 4 or 6 backpacks (so 2 or 3 teams) when they arrived at the luggage detour, which also surprised me. The other teams were walking through the detour, but every time we saw J/C, they were running. As per Jen and Kisha, some of the hotels were further away and took longer; also, weren't there maps available showing where the hotels were? Gary interviews in the taxi that the GTs and J/C were battling it out...
So if J/C picked closer hotels, going fast, and given the GTs had to redo two more suitcases, plus got lost looking for the U-Turn location - I wonder if they really were closer to the GTs finishing time for the luggage task than the 15-30 minutes that's been speculated.
I was also surprised to hear Jet say when he got to Marco at the RB, he knew there were at least three teams behind him. I wondered why he didn't look all that upset when he knew he had to redo it.
In any case, this article, and the other interviews on that site, give some additional interesting info. For example, it explains more why in the other episode J/C made the choice to take the later flight with fewer connections. Also, Christina and Ron said in their interview that they didn't complain when they got to the mat about the GTs taking their Amazing Purse, they were friendly with the GTs and were going to just talk to them after. She says they were told by production there was going to be a penalty and were asked to go back to the mat to talk about the experience. Finally, it seems the reason teams were so pissed about Kent & Vyksin only getting a 30 minute penalty over the mandatory flight issue was because if you missed the first mandatory flight, you were supposed to wait for the same flight 24 hours later. Apparently, there was an earlier flight than the mandatory flight, and if the other teams knew the penalty was only 30 minutes, they would have taken that...
Post by: apskip on April 27, 2011, 07:54:39 AM
There were numerous flight connections to get from Tokyo-Narita to Chengdu both before and after the "mandatory" flight. As you would know if you carefully read earlier threads on this, there was no reason to put all teams on that flight other than:
Knowledge by World Race Productions that all teams plus their camera and sound guys could fit into that flight combination or
WRP not wanting any teams to arrive in Jiangji before 5am
So, there was no reason for the penalty assessed on Kent/Vyxsin to be more than the 30 minutes. I have made a case for there being no penalty other than the later arrival time they had into Jiangji. The other racers like Luke, Margie, Cara and Jaime who argued for a 24 hour penalty were ignorant of flight alternatives and had a vested interest in a bigger penalty.

What was interesting to me particularly was seeing how things are shaded by editing, something I hadn't fully appreciated before. I'm sure those of you with long experience here are fully aware of this, but it was a lesson for me.
With respect to the specific question, I did also feel that given the delay of the later flight, a 30 minute penalty was reasonable for K/V, and I didn't understand why it was an issue with the other racers. According to the interviews, it seemed that the issue was more one of how the instructions were worded, with racers feeling more that they had been deceived by TPTB, rather than a particular grudge against K/V. I wasn't presenting an argument, just pointing out some information.
Perhaps I will just go back to lurking...

Thanks for pulling together all the interview info. I also feel that until the U-Turn, the time difference may not have been overwhelming apart. The Trotters seemed to have quite a bit of trouble on the luggage task.

^^Yeah, what Prophet said ^^ There are a couple in particular that like to challenge people and I have learned I have to sit on my hands and bite my lip until the urge to kill goes away. LMAO
On another note... I saw an interview with Gary & Mallory on CBS. They were on the train to Zermat. They said that Kisha and Jen were telling people to U-Turn the Goths. I was surprised that after all that, they didn't U-Turn them themselves!

Post by: lovetherace on April 27, 2011, 09:14:59 AM
Actually, according to the interviews, the racers kind of agreed with apskip - there were other, and earlier, flights, and if they'd known the penalty was only 30 minutes for not taking the mandatory flight, they might all have taken an earlier flight; depending on how fast they got to the airport, they probably sat there for hours until the mandatory flight left. Sounds like they were led to believe the penalty for not taking that flight would be much worse.
And that's probably enough about that...
Post by: DrRox on April 27, 2011, 09:40:33 AM
Production has found, that for some countries, that it is easier to enter and exit at the same place. What with all the equipemnt they carry around. China now have made that list and that could explain why teams along with their cameramen/soundmen were required to take the flight they did. There is nothing concete on this again, just some thoughts.
There were some fights with tight connections, that some teams might have actually reached Lijiang in the late afternoon, early eveing.......but I still think the choke point would have been that charter bus they all were supposed to catch the next morning...so if any teams had arrived that early......they would probably had to just wait till the morning anyway.
But I agree with you, the other teams sure did seem to have a burr under their saddles about how that all transpired.
Post by: Shelact on April 27, 2011, 01:03:30 PM
I think the penalty is in line with teams who received penalites over the seasons for taking a cab instead of walking or any other clue where they tell you to travel by a specific mode of transportation including your feet and you do something else. It would have been more controversial, and out of line with past practice, if the penalty would have been more than 30 minutes in my opinion .

- The Balzers Post Office/Route 12 stop is at 20 Rietstrasse (http://map.search.ch/balzers?x=75m&y=-199m&z=2048&poi=verkehr,gebaeude,anzeigen), nearly at the foot of Gutenberg. After Jet heads back from the finish line, we see him approach the bus stop from the west (at nearly the same spot of the Justin/Jen map handover).
- The distance from the bus stop back to the main route is over 400 yards. It's very unlikely that FT saw other racers and decided to turn. And he didn't follow the map; Jen can be seen (but not heard) giving him directions to the finish line. So either he made another wrong turn and got extremely lucky, or there's something else going on that wasn't broadcast.

Certainly is possible for Rio.......or Florida Keys. I would think any confessionals in Florida would occur in daylight. So I think Rio or Niteroi. Dec 11 is just ten days before the Rio Summer Solstice. They look a little overdressed, but part of Rio, Rio Sul, get a good breeze off the ocean and they could be dressing for that.
Rio Sul is the general name for the beach neighborhoods of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Sao Conrado (site of TAR2 Detours) and Barra de Tijuica. The greatest concentrations/numbers of tourist hotels are in Copacabana.

The general consensus is; Gary already knew the right number and Herb just confirmed it. Gary probably would have shared the number with Jet. The other teams didn't use the U-Turn because they knew multiple teams were behind them. The Trotters used it because they knew the Cowboys had the ability to beat them, they were too close for comfort. The Cowboys were good and yes everyone was aware of it but I don't think anyone, maybe with the exception of KENT and Vxysin, had it out for them.
Gary did make a comment about this issue on his twitter:
