Double U-turn again!
I bet Ernie and Cindy use u-turn to Andy and Tommy
-
Two Observations, It looks like Sandy does the roadblock, I think that is her walking with the women in Black,
And no one has been U-tunred when Ernie and Cindy are running to it.
Is that Ernie in the white outfit walking with a women at the road block?
-
Well, certainly looks like the castle at Hillerod to me! ;)

I am sure Ernie and Cindy will UTurn Andy and Tommy. That irritates me. I have never cared for Ernie and Cindy....sigh. I wish I hadn't seen the previews bc I am going to be sad about this all week. Phil did say "game changing" play. SIGH

Pretty evenly spread-out locations this week! No sign of Vikings yet?
-
I'm in love with the bunnies. :-[
-
Thanks Neobie!! :hrt:
-
Two Observations, It looks like Sandy does the roadblock, I think that is her walking with the women in Black,
Is that Ernie in the white outfit walking with a women at the road block?
It also look like Cathi is in the green dress.
-
Sorry these are so blurry...is that ERNIE in the white? If so ...why oh why would Cindy not do this one??
-
The bunny task has me confused, we only see Armani performing. Is this a detour or another roadblock?
-
It looks to me that Amani is leading the bunny through its paces...and then maybe Marcus has to entice it back? ???
-
Wittle bunny wabbits! :luvya: Can't wait to see Denmark, as it is the country I have been to the most apart from Australia!
-
Ballroom(?) Dancing or Bunny Racing
*sigh* If we had both of them as detours, we would have a rhyming detour. :lol:
-
Ballroom dancing is the Roadblock??
-
The Amazing Race Ep 8
It's Speedo Time (Brussels, Belgium)
-
It looks to me that Amani is leading the bunny through its paces...and then maybe Marcus has to entice it back? ???
They are doing Rabbit Show Jumping - sort of a Rabbit equestrian event. Apparently it has some popularity in the Scandinavian countries. From reading about it, I'd expect that Amani just has to lead the rabbit through the course without too many mistakes or in a certain length of time and Marcus is just cheering them on. Most likely this is a Roadblock.
Here's a couple of links about it:
http://www.kaninhop.dk/uk/ (http://www.kaninhop.dk/uk/)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_show_jumping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_show_jumping)
I was hoping to find a picture or two that might pin down the location but so far no luck. There is some writing (in Danish?) on the barriers next to Marcus. Do we have anyone that can understand Danish and read what it says? It may be just too blurry to read though.
-
I actually think that the dancing is the roadblock. It is the only task where we see one team member definitely not doing it. Amani and Marcus' actions leave more doubt.
-
or another double Roadblock? ???
-
What if its a fast-forward?
-
NO FF.
Pretty sure Chateau already the location in the Location thread with pics! Will try to move his info over tonight...
-
Chateau gave us Frilandsmuseet as the site of the bunny hopping, and it looks like that's where the W-Turn sign is too, under the windmill on the Northwestern corner of the compound. That's why it's more than likely the bunny task is one half of a Detour...
-
Episode 9 title quote is "It's Speedo Time"

Oh dear. :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

or another double Roadblock? ???
With a Double U-Turn? Not probable.
-

I totally agree.
To keep on speculating, the Rabbit thing seems like a Detour to me.
I also think that Marcus has to do something else in the Rabbit Task.
There's also a chance the Rabbit thing could just be an active Route Info? :duno:
-
That's a good point. They might want everyone to do that task.
-
^ But don't forget that the rabbit task is at the same place as the u-turn (already identified by Chateau d'If). So it has to be a detour.
-
^ But don't forget that the rabbit task is at the same place as the u-turn (already identified by Chateau d'If). So it has to be a detour.
Or a general task that must be completed before getting to the U-Turn.
-
No, the U-Turn is always after a team completes the Detour, so teams don't know that they have to go back and do the other half of the Detour before proceeding. So, logically, the bunny task is part of the Detour.
(It's a good thing Edie and Lieben have passed on as they were enthusiatic bunny chansers, and I have no doubt they would have wanted to jump through time and space to chase those bunnies.) :)

“THE RACE” TRAVELS TO COPENHAGEN FOR THE FIRST TIME WHERE RACERS ENCOUNTER BUNNIES, BUTTER, DANCING AND ANOTHER DOUBLE U-TURN, ON “THE AMAZING RACE” NOV. 13

Peach, I will just copy and paste the Copenhagen posts ...
I just got back from a field trip to the city where this mermaid lives:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/mermaid2.jpg)
-
An opportunity to travel to Copenhagen came up :hoot: {{{}
Since CBS has listed Denmark as one of the visited countries for TAR19 I decided to do some good old fashioned detective work! :spy:
I checked countless locations in and around Copenhagen to find out if the Race had come through. On the first day, September 3rd, I took a 3.5 hour tour with Mike's
Bikes to get a feel for the city. It's a great tour. And if the girl from Dublin ever reads this please contact me! :-[ Her bike broke down before I could get a name (:;)
Back to the detective work: Starting with what we know (not the actual time order of investigation)
Hillerød It's to a castle I will take you! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxp0fop1iMA)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1517.jpg)
The local press had already reported seeing Amazing Race filming at Frederiksborg Slot in Hillerød so I took the 25 minute metro ride out there and started asking around about the filming that happened there on July 4th. I found out that many Danes are currently watching TAR18 on their cable channel (the latest episode had Luke drinking all the tea). Here is what I found out about TAR19:
Teams arrived the morning of July 4th. They drove their own cars past the usual parking areas and came right up to the castle. They went running up two levels of spiral stairs and went to the Great Hall. Here is a video of doing that:
http://www.youtube.com/v/qg6QMfZwq-Q?version=3&hl
I could not make sense of the arrival order. The two teams that stood out were Zac & Laurence and Marcus & Amani. The rest of the teams became a big blur.
The task in the Great Hall involved wearing medieval clothes and doing dance routines. One team member waited and watched while the other one did the task. So we know this was the Roadblock. Nobody could figure out what the helicopter was looking at.

-
Even before my visit to Copenhagen last week I had already spent one day there with my teenage son the previous summer.
Continuing the Led Zeppelin motif (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9TGj2jrJk8)
Such boys cannot be bothered by anything cultural or historic. The one and only one thing he spotted and actually said "Let's go see THAT!" was the Vor Frelsers Kirke (http://www.vorfrelserskirke.dk/english)
It really does stand out!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_0105.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_0118.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1640.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1637.jpg)
And this is at the top:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_0120.jpg)
So I went there again to make some inquiries: Various staff on hand confirmed that Racers were there on July 4th. :tup: It turns out that the date is easy to pin down because there was a massive deluge rainstorm the day before in Denmark. And everybody remembers that day. The Teams had arrived the night before and parked their cars in the churchyard. So it looks like it was a big Hours of Operation Equalizer. (:;) (:;) Probably designed to obliterate any lead gained by Teams finding the fastest flights out of Malawi.
Video of climbing at the top:
http://www.youtube.com/v/cINoERizdB4?version=3&hl
And just because it usually matters, the official number of stairs is 319. But I counted 235 steps indoors and 147 steps outside. :duno:
-
Here is my next report from Copenhagen on possible locations visited by the Race on July 4th:
What is the never-to-be-missed TAR favorite task subject matter?
:hearts: Animals :hearts:
I asked the hotel concierge about where there are animals in Copenhagen, what kinds of animals Denmark is famous for (nothing came to my mind!), if somebody wanted to work with animals where would they go?
The concierge gave me two places and some hotel guests mentioned a third:
- The Zoo
- Jutland horses at the Carlsberg Visitor's center
- A nearby open-air farm (which I got the name wrong so it was a bit of a chase)
I dismissed the Zoo because I had never heard of it before and I wanted to check the other leads first. The horses sounded very promising. I went. But nobody saw any race activity there. The couple that told me about the open-air-farm were the European equivalent of Anita & Arthur ! :lol: I finally got the name sorted out and much to my delight it started looking like TAR turf and lots of it!.
Fully stoked, I took the metro out to Frilandsmuseet (http://www.nationalmuseet.dk/sw20384.asp) (it was about 15 minutes, really easy). And FREE admission too! It's on 84 acres, has dozens of farms, and lot of animals.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1446.jpg)
Here's the map:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1464.jpg)
wikipedia Frilandsmuseet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frilandsmuseet)
The museum features more than 100 buildings from rural environments and dating from 1650-1950. All buildings are original and has been moved piece by piece from their original location save a windmill that is still found in its original location.
The museum contains rural buildings from all regions of Denmark, including many of the small and remote Danish islands like Bornholm, Læsø. Represented are also buildings from the Faroe Islands, as well as the former Danish possessions of Southern Schleswig in Germany and Scania and Halland in Sweden. The distribution demonstrates how life has been adapted to regional living conditions and availability of materials. Buildings include a farmhouse from the island of læsø thatched with kelp
Represented in the collection are also all social living conditions, from a manor house to a poorhouse, different types of buildings like farms, mills and workshops, and numerous professions..
The museum include six mills including a post mill from 1662. Some of the mills are regularly operated by a guild of volunteers.

And geese:

The authenticity and perfection of the relocated farm structures is stunning. I'm thinking this place just has to be a Race destination as I walk around. Look at these buildings! :jam:

So, did the Race come to Frilandsmuseet? After walking about it I started asking around if anybody was there on July 4th. Some staffers"remember" some "don't remember".
But there definitely were cameras and chaos going on that day. :tup: :jam: :hoot:
More info coming later ...
Here's a hint at the animal task: queue music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T66Rci3KdrA)

Thanks! Just in case you were wondering, I had a lot of fun (and blisters on my feet) doing this. :hoot:
In my investigation of Frilandsmuseet I tried to indicate that on July 4th the Teams were working with animals somehow: like milking, collecting eggs, catching geese, etc. There was no confirmation of any such thing. But there was something because I saw a lot of smiles and masked giggles :lol: ;).
Finally, with a bit of word play and pantomime I was finally able to pull the correct species out of my hat. :lol3:
You will not believe what was going on there. Not in 100 years!
It's called Kaninhop (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaninhop):

Rabbit Jumping Takes Scandanavia By Storm (http://thewashingtonroast.com/?tag=copenhagen) By Mike
Copenhagen, Sept 5, 2010–The Danish National Rabbit Hopping championship drew millions of spectators as bunnies from all over Denmark and surrounding areas competed the the big prize: a ten foot carrot. Rabbit hopping has taken Scandinavia by storm with millions of Scandinavians taking up the sport. “Schools are empty and virtually no one goes to work,” complained Fredrik Reinfeldt, the prime minister of Sweden. The finance minister of Norway cried, “Our economy is on the verge of collapse. Everyone is rabbit jumping!” Many social and city services are breaking down as more and more Scandinavians are replacing having sex in the snow with bunny hopping as the national sport.

One of the benefits of going on a bike tour of Copenhagen was the discovery of a classic TAR Pit Stop scenario!
Queue the music: Pirates (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQrYEEfgbG8)
BTW the bike tour was this one: Bike Mike (http://www.bikecopenhagenwithmike.dk/) and it is the first thing you should do if you ever visit Copenhagen!
Remember this TAR6: Af Chapman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Af_Chapman_%28ship%29)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Af_Chapman.JPG/800px-Af_Chapman.JPG)
Directly opposite Copenhagen's new Opera House is Larsen's Plads. This is a street along the water like the French quai.
Street view here.
(http://maps.google.com/maps?q=larsens+plads+copenhagen&ll=55.682932,12.598915&spn=0.031356,0.070038&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&gl=us&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=0&layer=c&cbll=55.684873,12.596756&panoid=8BioQ8kxQ8vehE2cBILC3g&cbp=12,177.64,,0,15.11)
Well, on this plads there are three classic old sailing ships. And yes, that is the Vor Frelsers Kirke in the background!
The three ships are the Lillian Dan, the Halmo, and the Havet:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1574-1.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Parisinspring/Copenhagen/IMG_1422-1.jpg)
I went up to the ships, asking if anybody saw any filming going on Larsens Plads on July 4th, the day after the big storm, I got a mixed response. Some sailors said "yes", some said "no". The timing of the sightings was afternoon into early evening. But the "yeses" pointed to the place where I got the "no" so by process of elimination, the Havet would be the Pit Stop. Nobody could ID the Teams so I have no arrival order :'(
Interestingly enough, it is the Havet that appears in the Google Maps Street View! :lol:

This is the windmill where the Double U-Turn was located.
It is a special windmill that rotates the whole mill to catch the best wind direction!

"Bunnies, butter, ..."
The Butter refers to the other half of the Detour! I remember hearing/seeing (think mime!) about there being an activity involving churning.
That could explain the Title quote about "Shade" because you would want it to be as cool as possible to make butter.
This building was the focal point of the Detour:

Chateau, what an amazing trip, and amazing detective work! Thank you for sharing. :yourock:
The bunny shots that you posted had me laughing out loud.
I am sure you're right about the "Super Shady" quote being related to the butter task, but it reminded me of a racer calling her partner really "shady" a few seasons back (Stephanie talking to Chad?), so I thought perhaps it was commentary on someone's behavior....
I visited Denmark as a child about 35 years ago, and have vivid and fond memories of it, and can't wait to see the Amazing Race in action there!

Could we PLEASEdiscuss EP 9 in the spoiler discussion thread and not the EP 8 thread? :res:
Thanks!

I'm guessing ernie and cindy use u-turn to snowboarders remeber the pitstop in leg 7.
-
Thanks Chateau for all the information. I think you have summarized the flow of the next leg very clearly. It's nice to see all the pictures as it brought back all my memories in Denmark 4 years ago, pity I did not have chance to go up Vor Frelsers Kirke last time as it was closed for renovation...
As for the W turn, it seems that Ernie/Cindy are in leading position at that time, so any team being u-turned by them would not be greatly affected since that team could u-turn any other team behind as well.
However, given that the detour are not physically challenging (at least the bunny one), I don't think it would cause huge delay for the u-turned teams, maybe just 10-20 minutes. Don't forget that this leg involves driving (there is no driving involved in any leg this season yet, right?), teams can lose time easily if they can't navigate themselves...
-
The bunny task has me confused, we only see Armani performing. Is this a detour or another roadblock?
its probably the detour, it might just be me , because the farm their doing the task on looks like where the u-turn is.

Based on what I've seen, I think there are two scenarios. One is that Ernie & Cindy are first and just ahead of someone (most likely Andy & Tommy) whom they decide to U-Turn and then win the leg :( . The other thing that occurred to me is that they could possibly be in second last place and someone is directly behind them and they U-Turn them. They would still be very happy to finish second last and avoid elimination which would explain their reactions in that image.
It will definitely be interesting, but unfortunately, whichever way the cookie crumbles, it seems as though Ernie & Cindy will survive.
-
Just to be clear, We really haven't seen any evidence that Ernie and Cindy U-Turn Andy and Tommy. We are just making speculations that they will. It is entirely possible that they could U-Turn anyone.
-
There's no way to know where the teams are relative to one another once they get to Denmark and Copenhagen. We know there's a double U-Turn but for all we know Andy-Tommy were ahead of Ernie-Cindy at that point; now that the Express Pass has been used, that wouldn't be the way for them to get ahead of Andy-Tommy.
-
Just to be clear, We really haven't seen any evidence that Ernie and Cindy U-Turn Andy and Tommy. We are just making speculations that they will. It is entirely possible that they could U-Turn anyone.
True, but considering that they came in second in part because they failed to U-Turn Andy & Tommy, it's more likely that Ernie & Cindy will U-Turn Andy & Tommy.

We have no idea what position Ernie & Cindy are in when they decide to use the U-Turn. Just because they came in second to Andy & Tommy last time doesn't mean that is the only team they'd consider U-Turning. Ernie & Cindy could be at the bottom of the pack and looking to U-Turn a team behind them to not risk elimination. This seems like another case as in last week where everyone thought Andy & Tommy would be U-Turned because thats what they hoped. The result turned out to be far from that.

Actually, I thought Amani & Marcus might be U-Turned because it seemed that way from the screencaps. I was right, but I had no way of knowing they were ahead of Laurence & Zac.
Anyway, it's true that we don't know Ernie & Cindy's position at the back of the pack. I'm only guessing it's more likely that Ernie & Cindy U-Turn Andy & Tommy than anyone else because of what happened last Sunday. They'd probably consider other teams as well, but Andy & Tommy are definitely up there.

well , ernie & cindy were the first team to the u-turn ! And they said ''sorry guys , we need to win" the guys are likely to be Andy & Tommy and they need to win , they know their in first place, and they want to go win the leg.
And in the picture below they are happy !

Based on the one promo we have so far...none of this can be assumed.
We know someone is on their heels.
We do not know what position E/C are in.
We do not know who they are referring to.
We know they are DISCUSSING using the U-Turn.
But based solely on the promo, we have NO firm evidence it was used at all or on whom.
Just keeping it real... now what we believe happens may be a different story. :lol:
Just remember a lot of people quote RFF...so let's not call specultion FACT until we have actual info to prove it. :tup:

Just speculating, but I have a hunch that this may be the case and they are actually fighting for survival rather than for first place.
I still can't believe back-to-back Double U-Turns - it is a great twist! :tup:

As a counterpoint, it might be a fight for the top, with Cindy's line about not being nice anymore. I don't think that line would fit that well, if it was a fight not to be the last.

That is still nonetheless an assumption and not fact. Don't forget the editors have been known to splice together words to form a sentence; and one can never totally trust events based on promos.
What has to be kept in mind is that teams have to travel from Malawi to Denmark, and even if all the teams are on the same flight, there is no assurance that teams will arrive at the first Danish route marker in the same order they leave the pit stop.

From the Promo that Prophet posted we can make some observations:
1) The Bunny side of the Detour requires teams to assemble their Kanninhop course. We see piles of unassembled components at the bottom of each lane.
2) There are 7 lanes, the one on the far right (bunny's right) is the example
3) The lane next to the example has been selected by Bill & Cathi.
4) While Bill & Cathi are Kanninhopping we see 5 unused lanes to their left and also 4 piles of components for the four lanes to their left (5th pile is out of view).
5) There is a distinctive component in the lane immediately left of of Bill & Cathi's: a red and black ladder structure. We see that component in the clip of Amani running her rabbit.
6) There is another distinctive component in the 3rd lane to the left of Bill & Cathi: a square post that is painted pink with a light blue top. We later see that is a component in Laurence & Zac's Kanninhop course.
7) Zac is running a rabbit in the 3rd from the left lane while Jeremy & Sandy are running up the hill (they may have just gotten the instructions or they may have finished or they may have decided to go do the Butter churn half of the Detour instead).
Lane 1: Example
Lane 2: Bill & Cathi
Lane 3: Marcus & Amani
Lane 4: ?, not used
Lane 5: Laurence & Zac
Lane 6: ?, not used
Lane 7: ?, not used
-
Also, the two halves of the Detour are right next to each other at Frilandsmuseet. So when a team is leaving it would be very easy to see who is still working their Detour choice. The windmill with the Double U-Turn is about 3 minutes away if you run to the correct windmill. There are three windmills there so there is some chance to loose time going to the wrong one.
It is a huge place and very easy to get lost even if you do have the map: the building at the bottom of the lanes is #8, the Butter churning is in #42

Someone got a better resolution? Let's play find the airport!
Let's see... Is that a Burger King? There's a Burger King in Egypt, but not anywhere else on the continent. Probably Europe then? Will be slowly working my way down this list...
Amsterdam: Burger Kings in Schiphol Lounge Terminal 1, and Schiphol Plaza
Frankfurt: Burger King in Terminal 2
Zurich: Wrong pillars?
London Stansted: Wrong roof?
Cairo: Wrong windows?
Rome, Milan, Munich, Vienna, Oslo, Stockholm

Not a lot of help, and be nothing. The red and White sign on the right is in English. Best offer.

GOOD job NoLuck!! :jumpy:

Thanks NoLuckBoston! Looks good to me! This matches up with the first cap...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jortegafigueiral/2350020323/
Now the main flight we think most of the teams went was from Lilongwe to Lusaka to Nairobi to Amsterdam to Copenhagen.
Assumption 1: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Amsterdam, then got stuck.
Not likely. There are some six flights from Amsterdam to Copenhagen before the sun even rises the next day.
Assumption 2: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Nairobi, then got stuck.
Not likely. Even if they missed the Amsterdam flight, there was a London flight that would have got them in before sunrise.
Assumption 3: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Lusaka, then got stuck.
Not likely. It's a through-flight from Lilongwe to Nairobi. No reason why they can get tickets on the first leg but not the second.

Promo up in post #2!
Will try to do caps if I can stay awake, lol...
For what it's worth, I found a slightly different and longer promo than the one Peach posted in post 2 of this thread on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6SHNjLwb4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6SHNjLwb4). It has a few quick glimpses of teams in the tower and a couple of different quick glimpses of Marcus and Amani at the airport, though the initial fast shot of Marcus sitting on the floor with his hands on his head looks like the floor where the dancing was done. It also doesn't look as well lit as the airport. However, if they get hit by an HOO after coming in behind the other teams, I don't know if they would let them indoors to wait, so it may just be another shot of the airport.
-
Thanks! The one I posted is the TV promo since we did not have a good quality one of the first...will work on this one instead!
-
So on the previous page we deduced that Marcus/Amani probably didn't even get out of Lilongwe with everyone else. (Why they didn't is anyone's guess!)
Their fastest alternative routes (through Amsterdam) would probably be these two:
Lilongwe to Nairobi (1315-1625) to Amsterdam (2230-0540) to Copenhagen (either 0655-0820 or 0810-0930)
Lilongwe to Johannesburg (0905-1125) to Lagos (1540-2040) to Amsterdam (2220-0610) to Copenhagen (0810-0930)
For all we know, they might make it to the tower just before it opens, if it opens at 10am!

One thing to keep in mind as to Andy-Tommy and the double U-Turn -- like Jet-Cord and a few other teams over the years the are generally quite proficent and fast with the tasks. So assuming they'll be next to last might be a mistake without more concrete evidence.

The promos. Ernie & Cindy U-turn Andy & Tommy for first place. Amani & Marcus miss their flight to Copenhagen and are stuck in Amsterdam, meaning Andy & Tommy survive the U-turn. Easy.

surviving the uturn wouldnt necessarily put them in the 5th spot.

Armani & Marcus fell asleep, everyone thought they're doomed.. in the end they finish first. Would ROFL if that really happens though.
-
Okay so this is the basic assumption
1. Ernie & Cindy
2.
3.
4.
5. Andy & Tommy (victim of double U-turn)
6. Amani & Marcus
Probable table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Redchiefkevin
Based on what?? :lol:
The promos. Ernie & Cindy U-turn Andy & Tommy for first place. Amani & Marcus miss their flight to Copenhagen and are stuck in Amsterdam, meaning Andy & Tommy survive the U-turn. Easy.
You can't assume without other hard evidence (not speculation) that Andy-Tommy would end up in next-to-last place if they are U-Turned. And another team (not Amani-Marcus) might also be U-Turned as well. Bottom line -- there's no way one can say with any certainty in what order the teams will check in at the pit stop based on what we know (as opposed to speculation.)
-
It's not even a certainty that Marcus/Amani will not arrive at the tower before it opens! One flight they could have taken arrived at 8.20am, the other at 9.28am. If the tower opened at 10.00am as it usually does, they wouldn't be that far behind at all, if at all.
-
For what it's worth, I found a slightly different and longer promo than the one Peach posted in post 2 of this thread on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6SHNjLwb4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6SHNjLwb4). It has a few quick glimpses of teams in the tower and a couple of different quick glimpses of Marcus and Amani at the airport, though the initial fast shot of Marcus sitting on the floor with his hands on his head looks like the floor where the dancing was done. It also doesn't look as well lit as the airport. However, if they get hit by an HOO after coming in behind the other teams, I don't know if they would let them indoors to wait, so it may just be another shot of the airport.
no proxies please
p.s.: Marcus and Armani :lol3:

Except that you are ASSUMING A/T get U-Turned without evidence.
You are ASSUMING A/M cannot arrive in time.
Remember what happens when you ASS-U-ME stuff? :lol:

:lol: I remember Chad/Stephanie in Oman!

That does seem to fit their general style of racing. :lol: They're the second coming of Uchenna and Joyce.

Anyone else find it interesting the new promo doesn't even mention the Double U-Turn?
-
Thanks NoLuckBoston! Looks good to me! This matches up with the first cap...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jortegafigueiral/2350020323/
Now the main flight we think most of the teams went was from Lilongwe to Lusaka to Nairobi to Amsterdam to Copenhagen.
Assumption 1: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Amsterdam, then got stuck.
Not likely. There are some six flights from Amsterdam to Copenhagen before the sun even rises the next day.
Assumption 2: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Nairobi, then got stuck.
Not likely. Even if they missed the Amsterdam flight, there was a London flight that would have got them in before sunrise.
Assumption 3: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Lusaka, then got stuck.
Not likely. It's a through-flight from Lilongwe to Nairobi. No reason why they can get tickets on the first leg but not the second.
What if Assumption 1 is likely with them being forbidden to take a pre-determined airline? That could get them stuck for a while.
So, the thing is: were they ahead and then bunched? Or where they bunched and then missed a flight?

I found out that they had to wait until 7:30 am to enter the church.

After seeing the promo I hope it's not because they overslept at the airport which made them left behind... :lol3:

It is most likely an elimination leg, but we do have 1 non elimination leg remaining. my guess is that it will be when their are 4 teams left.
-
Leg 11 will most likely be the last NEL this season. Otherwise, we'll have three teams for both of the last two legs.
-
): does that mean amani & marcus are eliminated?
-
Just wondering - is is certain that the Roadblock precedes the Detour, or is it possible that the Detour comes first?
I really don't like having a U-Turn as the last thing before the Pit stop, and we already had that last week.

Nothing is certain but keep in mind that the detour location is at some distance from the pit stop. The teams need to drive there, so someone might get lost or have difficulty finding it, so even if the detour were the last task a team could still get ahead from another if they did a good job navigating.
-
ive never been to denmark but, when amani & marcus were doing the bunny challenge, ernie & cindy was up to the u-turning, the sky was the same colour, would they of had to wait for something for amani & marcus to catch up, or is it the next day?
How bout when Andy & Tommy were saying ''everyone was here , except for amani & marcus'' , was that how they caught up?
-
Leg 11 will most likely be the last NEL this season. Otherwise, we'll have three teams for both of the last two legs.
What theschnauzers said is supported by an analysis of Amazing Race history. The last 9 Amazing Races have all had no NEL on the penultimate leg. However, out of the first 9 only AR5 AND AR6 followed the same pattern and the other 7 races DID have a NEL on the penultimate leg.
With World Race Productions always trying to keep racers off-balance, I think it is quite possible for what translates to the "NEL before leg 11" to happen.
-
My sense from the interviews of witnesses was that it was early in the day for the Castle. Similarly, Frilandsmuseet activities seemed to go down not-so-early (but not at the end of the day either). So I would put the Roadblock happening before the Detour.

Looks like Marcus and Amani are at the bunny racing around 13:35 - by themselves.
-
Doing the roadblock: Zac, Ernie, Andy, Cathi,
Could that be Ernie on the right side of cap #23?
-
We always get clips of Marcus and Amani :lol:
http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/video/2166713161/the-amazing-race-preview-super-shady
They both have to lead the bunny once. If that's all there is to it, that is the easiest Detour ever.
-
Doing the roadblock: Zac, Ernie, Andy, Cathi,
Could that be Ernie on the right side of cap #23?
Didn't we also see Sandy in the preview doing it?
And I think that you are right that is Ernie in cap#23 at the back.
-
Jeremy in cap 33...note the watch...and who is that on the course behind him??
-
@kiki That would reinforce the idea that Andy and Tommy are right on top of them again. :ascared
-
Jeremy in cap 33...note the watch...and who is that on the course behind him??
Sandy and Zac are the only ones without bright colors on. Would he leave Sandy that far behind?
ETA: per cap #34 it is not Sandy so I would say Zac
-
Is there any way we can get the time in Jeremy's clock in cap #33??
-
NEW PROMO up in post 2!!
-
#36 you see it? 5 blank already finish detour? :duno:
(http://i44.[banned image hosting site].com/2echw7s.png)
-
Interesting...who is doing the Detour in this shot Loverocked?
-
Interesting...who is doing the Detour in this shot Loverocked?
@Prophet
No clue.. I have no idea and who doing detour with wildlife rabbit.
My guess is Zac and Laurence.
-

ETA: per cap #34 it is not Sandy so I would say Zac
It isn't Sandy, she is right behind him...
-
From the new promo 2: can't cap it now but this is M/A's bunny, and isn't there another space undone?
Could be not used of course if the butter was popular.
-
Is there any way we can get the time in Jeremy's clock in cap #33??
Best I can do: 650 or 1130? ???
-
Jeremy in cap 33...note the watch...and who is that on the course behind him??
That's Zac.
I put this up a couple days ago :lol:
From the Promo that Prophet posted we can make some observations:
1) The Bunny side of the Detour requires teams to assemble their Kanninhop course. We see piles of unassembled components at the bottom of each lane.
2) There are 7 lanes, the one on the far right (bunny's right) is the example
3) The lane next to the example has been selected by Bill & Cathi.
4) While Bill & Cathi are Kanninhopping we see 5 unused lanes to their left and also 4 piles of components for the four lanes to their left (5th pile is out of view).
5) There is a distinctive component in the lane immediately left of of Bill & Cathi's: a red and black ladder structure. We see that component in the clip of Amani running her rabbit.
6) There is another distinctive component in the 3rd lane to the left of Bill & Cathi: a square post that is painted pink with a light blue top. We later see that is a component in Laurence & Zac's Kanninhop course.
7) Zac is running a rabbit in the 3rd from the left lane while Jeremy & Sandy are running up the hill (they may have just gotten the instructions or they may have finished or they may have decided to go do the Butter churn half of the Detour instead).
Lane 1: Example
Lane 2: Bill & Cathi
Lane 3: Marcus & Amani
Lane 4: ?, not used
Lane 5: Laurence & Zac
Lane 6: ?, not used
Lane 7: ?, not used
-
The new promo adds that Marcus & Amani are running their rabbit as Zac & Laurence are installing their very last jump obstacle at the top of their lane.
So as far as the Kanninhop half of the Detour goes here is the order of Teams:
1) Bill & Cathi in lane 2
2) Marcus & Amani in lane 3
4) Laurence & Zac in lane 5
5) Jeremy & Sandy in lane ? (4, 6 and 7 are available)
If the clip of Jeremy & Sandy running up the side of the tracks can be shown to have them carrying a rabbit then their lane would be #4 because 6 & 7 don't have any obstacles built yet.
-
Chateau and everyone...take another look at the vid!
It looks to me as though they may not build the course...unless they already did it before claiming their bunny? ???
In this clip, they just walk up to a buit course...and then we hear Marcus say now I have to do it and that's all?
What do y'all think?? :ascared
-
Jeremy and Sandy are NOT carrying a bunny...

They have to build the course. You can see the pile of parts. And then you see them jumping over them.
They don't select their rabbit until the course has been correctly assembled as determined by a judge.
Jeremy & Sandy; Then they still have to build it or they are going to try butter.
-
so can you guys guess the places?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. ( eliminated )
-
^Except that this could be an NEL.
-
I'm guessing :
1 - Ernie and Cindy (UTURNED Andy and Tommy)
2 - Laurence and Zac
3 - Marcus and Amani
4 - Bill and Cathi
5 - Jeremy and Sandy
EL : Andy and Tommy
I say that because i believe that Andy and Tommy are so nice guys that they wouldn't think on uturning someone after seeing their name on the uturn board...
If that happens,i would be like :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well for what it's worth, Andy & Tommy would probably only drop a place or two with the detours so close together, and their good at completing these things. Marcus & Amani are also likely an hour behind due to the flight mishap in Amsterdam.

True.
We can change to :
1 - Ernie and Cindy
2 - Bill and Cathi
3 - Laurence and Zac
4 - Andy and Tommy
5 - Amani and Marcus
6 - Jeremy and Sandy

I'm somewhat confused about a couple of things I'm seeing in the 2nd promo and in another cap Peach has posted.
Look at Cap 9 and Cap 25. The railing and the floor next to Marcus in Cap 9 are the same as the ones next to Cindy in Cap 25. So, Marcus is sitting and holding his head in the Great Hall at Frederiksborg Castle. There's no activity going on in the background so it appears he is waiting and most likely no one else is there. Why is he waiting? If they arrive after everyone else, wouldn't they be hustling to get through it? The best guess I can make is that Amani is changing clothes for the dance and Marcus is anguishing about everyone else being there and gone.
Secondly, at the bunny hopping, in Caps 28-30, Bill has a brown bunny and in caps 38-40, Cathi has a black and white bunny. In the cap of Marcus and Amani that Peach put up a few posts above this one, Marcus has a bunny and Amani doesn't. Why don't they have two bunnies? It doesn't make sense unless Amani has already made her run through the course.
Actually, I'm not quite as confused now that I've gone through the thought process to write this up, but I'll send it anyway since I think it's sneaky of CBS to slip a clip of Marcus at the castle into the airport scenes.

At the end of the last promo, as soon as Amani finishes her run we can hear Marcus saying :" Now I have to do it".
Most likely both team members must make a run with a bunny. Maybe Cathi and Bill changed bunny for some reason. Also the white and black rabbit Cathi uses looks very much like the one Laurence is using when he is saying : " It must be on steroids"

That helps make sense of it. I listened to the promo a day or two ago and was just looking at the caps when I noticed the bunny differences.

Good job Plaidmoon!! You have it!!
Maybe there are bunny labor laws...each bunny can only do ONE run? ???
:lol:
-

:lol:
That could be it. I mean, if a team chooses a bunny which is really happy and wants to jump, they could finish the task in less than a minute... If another team chooses an angry bunny, they couldbe there for hours...
Maybe this is to not "randomize" that much the luck of the teams?
IDK...

This could be my favorite leg ever. :yess:
We NEED a vid for the bunny point of view like the donkey one. :lol3:
Especially loving all of our detectives doing the Bunny Hop!!!
:ghug:
-
True.
We can change to :
1 - Ernie and Cindy
2 - Bill and Cathi
3 - Laurence and Zac
4 - Andy and Tommy
5 - Amani and Marcus
6 - Jeremy and Sandy
I think Jeremy and Sandy have been spotted further than this. :angel
And it could be another NEL.
-
If my maths is right, we should have only one NEL left. With three of them already, I don't believe that we'll see the last one in this episode. I'm almost certain of it. Season 18 was the first time in TAR history that we had three elimination legs before the final and I believe this is because we were already familiar with the cast. I'd be really surprised if 19 does the same thing.
With the added drama of a 'you're still racing' leg, I'll also be very surprised if we don't see one this season. So my money's on the Pit Stop of the next episode to be a non-stop (racing from Denmark to the Belgian countryside, and then continuing onto Brussels).

I dunno if this has been posted yet...

so guys, who will be eliminated next?
It could be an NEL.
-
A NEL on a U-Turn week would be a waste.
It is not a NEL, sadly.
-
Interestingly, of the 14 legs with U-Turns in so far, two of them have been NELs.
There was one in Leg 9 of Season 13 (Boots / Borscht), but it wasn't used. There was also apparently one in Leg 8 of Season 15 (Nobel Dynamite / Viking Alphabet), which also wasn't used.
But I'm still confident that they wouldn't have the last NEL this early.
-
The new promo adds that Marcus & Amani are running their rabbit as Zac & Laurence are installing their very last jump obstacle at the top of their lane.
So as far as the Kanninhop half of the Detour goes here is the order of Teams:
1) Bill & Cathi in lane 2
2) Marcus & Amani in lane 3
4) Laurence & Zac in lane 5
5) Jeremy & Sandy in lane ? (4, 6 and 7 are available)
If the clip of Jeremy & Sandy running up the side of the tracks can be shown to have them carrying a rabbit then their lane would be #4 because 6 & 7 don't have any obstacles built yet.
Why I could not find the clip of Zac & Laurence installing their very last jump obstacle when Marcus & Amani are running their rabbit? I only saw M&A running rabbit with no team in the background...
Am I confusing myself with something...?
Also, can we conclude that M&A are the last team at the detour? From that clip we only saw them in the field and we saw Jeremy & Sandy and Zac & Laurence in the field at the same time. If that's the case, could we assume that M&A are the likely target to be u-turned since they were behind already?
-
Not really.
If we know Amani and Marcus are behind to start the leg. Then se era, things are possible.
It's possible that they caught up.
It's possible that two other teams got UTurned.
It's possible that Laurence and Zac and Jeremy and Sandy are the teams UTurned, this could be the first part of the detour or they could both be performing the UTurn part of the detour.
It's possible that some other team UTurned Amani and Marcus, if teams know they missed a flight ( and apparently with an hours of operation wait) then Amani and Marcus would be the most rational team to UTurn.
It's primarily about making sure you aren't eliminated. Hitting the team in last place is the best chance to ensure you don't get eliminated.

yeh I know, the reason I am asking is because I saw Chateau posting on another board saying that the clue of which team being U-turned has already been posted in RFF, so I am trying to figure it out~~
I agree that it's possible that the U-turned team is not Marcus/Amani, but if they are really behind from the start then it would make them an easy target..
-
By the way Chateau said we see Jeremy & Sandy, Laurence & Zac and Amani & Marcus at the detour site together.
What picture is this in, because going through the videos and caps I don't see anything.

If so I would assume its buried somewhere in either the spoiler thread or the live sightings thread. Sometimes all that info isn't brought forward.

I'm trying to pull this all together right now ...

U-Turn Sequencing
Assume that the Detour follows the Roadblock and the Pit Stop follows the Detour without any other task beside just getting there. This is coming from talking with people at all three locations and getting a sense of what time of day it was when Race activity was seen. Also, we need the time that the leg effectively began. That was at 7:30 am at the Vor Frelsers Kirke. The assumption gets strengthened by the picture of Ernie and Cindy checking in at the mat taken at 12:06 pm. The Teams are self driving and the drive times are roughly 40 minutes from Vor Frelsers to Frederiksborg Slot in Hillerod, 20 minutes from there to Frilandsmuseet, and 25 min from there to Larsen’s Plads.
Assume that Marcus & Amani fly from AMS to CPH arriving between 8:20 and 9:30 am (SK 550 or KL 1125). Somehow they get to Copenhagen soon enough to get themselves to the point of rabbit selection by 1:35 pm so they are not too many hours late to the Hours of Operation opening. Add 40 minutes from CPH landing to reaching Vor Frelsers Kirke. I suspect they had to spend the night at AMS. The last AMS to CPH flight on July 3rd left at 9:40 pm.
Assume most Teams prefer the Butter side of the Detour due to animal uncertainty. So the first Teams to Frilandsmuseet are all making butter together. They have a good idea of how far back the other Teams are based on what they got to see in The Great Hall. They probably have not yet seen Marcus & Amani but fear they could sail through the Roadblock unlike the trailing teams.
Assume Ernie & Cindy finish making Butter first. They slap their nearest completion with the U-Turn in order to improve their odds of taking a first place finish.
Assume the nearest completion at that point was Bill & Cathi. This is supported by our seeing Bill & Cathi doing Bunnies with 5 other empty bunny lanes.
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2019/EP%208%20Copenhagen/PROMO%20v2/19-8-promov2-caps0727.jpg)
1) The Bunny side of the Detour requires teams to assemble their Kanninhop course. We see piles of unassembled components at the bottom of each lane.
2) There are 7 lanes, the one on the far right (bunny's right) is the example
3) The lane next to the example has been selected by Bill & Cathi.
4) While Bill & Cathi are Kanninhopping we see 5 unused lanes to their left and also 4 piles of components for the four lanes to their left (5th pile is out of view).
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2019/EP%208%20Copenhagen/PROMO%20v2/19-8-promov2-caps0581.jpg)
This one shows the five lanes empty. :tup:
-
Do you have any witness accounts of Bill & Cathi finishing in 2nd at the detour. Because even using lanes to mark the presence of racers that doesn't take into account any teams that didn't choose that detour option, nor does it account for which teams might have been U-Turned and then have to go perform the other side of the Detour.
-
To assure their survival, Bill & Cathi react to their U-Turn requirement by U-Turning a Team that is most likely to be behind them and the further behind the better. That lets Tommy & Andy off the hook because they were probably also working on making Butter. Their target to U-Turn would be one of the three: Marcus & Amani, Laurence & Zac, or Jeremy & Sandy. Marcus & Amani may not have been seen yet and so they remain a little mysterious: "Did they get ahead of everybody?" "Did they already do Bunnies while we were making Butter?" Those uncertainties would take them out of U-Turn consideration for Bill & Cathi. So the target of the U-Turn is reduced to Laurence & Zac or Jeremy & Sandi.
The rest of the Detour plays out: Marcus & Amani, Laurence & Zac, and finally Jeremy & Sandi. Here is Marcus & Amani at the top of their lane. You can see that the there is a lane under construction two lanes to their left. That is Laurence & Zac's lane. It has all but the last obstacle in place. The last one being the one at the top of the lane.

Why do we assume Bill & Cathi U-Turn someone?

Wouldn't you?
Here you are, as far as you can tell, all the teams are possibly ahead of you or right there making Butter. And now you have to go mess with the animal task! Of course you are going to issue a U-Turn. If you don't you will most likely go home.
This shot was taken inside building #42 where the Butter gets made:

Let's see. Lots of piles are there, unused BTM. They may have noticed that. They finish the Detour, and as of what we know, more teams (3 more, at least?) complete that Detour. Bill & Cathi may or may not see them at the Detour site, but they could know if they're ahead of them by the Roadblock reference.
So, they could have some news of the teams they're ahead or behind of. They head to the U-Turn and then straight to Pitstop. I don't know if there's any chance to be passed to the Pitstop, but we have figured out they may be in 2nd or 3rd place by the amount of piles unused.
The only reason I see them U-Turning someone is because they are U-Turned, and I don't think Ernie & Cindy would U-Turn them instead of Andy & Tommy.
I don't really get your point.

Dave
There are four primary reason to use a UTurn.
1. You don't like a team and want them gone.
2. You wish to secure a first place victory, to do so you UTurn the team directly behind you.
3. You wish to give yourself the best chance to stay alive. Ie you UTurn the team that you believe is last
4. You have just been UTurn and to give yourself enough time UTurn a team you know is behind you.
We have all assumed that Ernie and Condy are trying option #2, that they want a win.
That means you slow down the next team behind you.
But foursome reason with no direct evidence to support a lot of people see to think that means Andy and Tommy. But we have no idea of where Andy and Tommy are.
If Bill and Cathi are known to be directly behind them, then if you are going for a win that means you clearly UTurn them.
As for Bill and Cathi if they were uTurned I think they would use it on another team. Though I think logically they would pick Amani and Marcus as they know that they were the furthest behind at one point.
-
But why would Ernie and Cindy U-Turn Bill and Cathi over Andy and Tommy? ??? Am I missing something?
I think Bill and Cathi may choose Bunnies because they are not afraid of animals. In this case they would be the first team there because they chose it.
So, Ernie and Cindy finish the Butter first and Uturn the next team which is either Laurence and Zac or Andy and Tommy. Then that team may Uturn Jeremy and Sandy. Of course the most logical thing would be for Ernie and Cindy to Uturn Andy and Tommy but they aren't always that logical. And we do see L/Z doing the bunnies.
-
Here's an interesting point: what if someone U-Turned Laurence and Zac because they knew that Laurence and Zac couldn't U-Turn to save themselves. THey would have to hope someone else is U-Turned by another team.
-
I'm thinking that the Teams that go into #42 to do Butter do not know if another Team has gone to do Bunnies. Even after they leave Building #42 they would not go past the Bunny area unless they really wanted to look there. So Bill & Cathi issue their U-Turn based on who they saw in building #42. MArcus & Amani are MIA, Laurence & Zac are either right there or eminently arriving, and same for Jeremy & Sandy. But "no", maybe Jeremy & Sandy are have not been seen since Hillerod? Because we see Jeremy & Sandi running away from the bunny cages while Laurence &d Zac are running down their lane with a bunny.
The way the U-Turn sequence works is:
1) Team 1 finishes one side of Detour
2) Team 1 runs to U-Turn Board
3) Team 1 issues or does not issue a U-Turn
4) Team 1 heads to next location
5) Team 2 runs to U-Turn Board
6) Team 2 issues or does not issue a U-Turn
7a) Team 2 does Detour the other side of the Detour if they were named by Team 1
7b) Team 2 heads to next location if they were not named by Team 1
and so on for each subsequent Team.
-
Well, I'll stop discussing this because I don't get your point and it seems you don't get mine. Seriously, I don't think Bill & Cathi have the need to U-Turn you say they have.
-
And here are Laurence & Zac running up their lane.
Um, if you are referring to the two people standing at the end of Amani's lane, those are workers that are dressed in white. I don't see any body running up a lane in that pic? I don't even see Marcus.
Just my opinion, but... Who is to say that Bill & Cathi did the butter churning at all? Maybe they opted for the bunnies right away. Since they do run a farm, they may have thought that would be a piece of cake! Maybe they were the ones on Ernie and Cindy's heals and got U-Turned and were in the midst of the butter while others were doing the bunnies?
-
But why would Ernie and Cindy U-Turn Bill and Cathi over Andy and Tommy? ??? Am I missing something?
I think Bill and Cathi may choose Bunnies because they are not afraid of animals. In this case they would be the first team there because they chose it.
So, Ernie and Cindy finish the Butter first and Uturn the next team which is either Laurence and Zac or Andy and Tommy. Then that team may Uturn Jeremy and Sandy. Of course the most logical thing would be for Ernie and Cindy to Uturn Andy and Tommy but they aren't always that logical. And we do see L/Z doing the bunnies.
idont see what's hard to understand in the situation Chateux set up if Ernie & Cindy if trying for first would go after the team that is right behind them.
If they know Bill and Cathi are right behind them their is no rational reason not to UTurn them.
Now I am not saying that Chateau is right about Bill and Cathi being right behind them. But if they are then they are the logical choice to UTurn.
-
If Bill and Cathi chose the Bunnies then Ernie and Cindy don't know where they are.
Actually based on the caps we don't know that Bill and Cathi were not the first team to complete the roadblock.
-
Unless they see coming to the UTurn?
Again I am not agreeing with Chateau about Bill and Cathi getting UTurn, but what ever team Ernie and Cindy say are right behind them (and we don't know if this is when getting to the UTurn that they spot someone or if it was a team doing the Detour side right behind them) should be the team that gets UTurned
We have had no direct evidence on who that team is.
I think because they say you guys people have assumed it meant an all male team (which it might), but you guys can be used about any of the teams left.
If Chateau is right and Bill Cathi are right behind them, then that should be who is eliminated, if Ernie and Cindy are trying to get first place, and they believe that they are one of the first teams.
-

This is what I agree with. But both of you just assumed it was Bill & Cathi without explaining this. It's OK now. :D
-
This is the shot that has Zac running his bunny while Jeremy & Sandi are fleeing the bunny cage area. Why did they go down there? They haven't built a lane yet. They don't have a bunny? Are they lost?
Either way they are very late! :tup:

Actually I kept using the qualifier "if".
IF Bill & Cathi are scene. If Ernie & Cindy are first (or near first), If they are going for a win, ect, ect.
-
The only reason I would want to see Bill & cathi U-Turned is so that I can hear all the complaints about why anyone would U-Turn them.
I hate all U-Turns, think they are evil, evil manipulation by producers.
But there have been several posters who have been actively hoping certain teams get U-Turned (again I hate U-Turns, Yields, all that crap), and I would like to see a team get U-Turned that really few people thought would get U-Turned just to hear their complaints.

Chateau
Don't we have a clip with Jeremy's watch and then with Marcus watch all on this farm setting? I thought Jeremy's watch was like an hour or so ahead of the time shown for Amani & MArcus.
Of course one or both of the teams might not have adjusted for time changes during the race.
-
Isn't it a possibilty that Ernie/Cyndy think they may be towards the back if they only saw Tommy/Andy at the detour and the boarders left before them? They didn't say anything about winning the leg. They seem desparate not to be eliminated and see a team behind them and Uturn them. BTW, who has 2 left feet? Laurence?
-
Well unless they got seriously lost, they should know that at the very least Amani & Marcus should be behind them, everything else who knows.
And my gut reaction is that Zac has two left feet.
-
Actually I think it is Sandy w/2 lft feet and that is what made them late.
-
Well its either that or some awful navigational skills. Since we have had almost no driving this season, its hard to judge what teams might suck at that aspect of the race.
ANd seriously why haven't we got more driving? Navigating from point A to point B should be a huge part of the race.
-
First time poster, please be kind... :waves:
From what I've seen in the promos, Andy receives the clue at the roadblock while Ernie is still dancing so they are ahead heading to the detour. It's quite possible that they manage to finish the butter just seconds before Ernie and Cindy and that they decide not to use the u-turn because they know they can outrace them in a foot race.
Also from the promos we can see Bill and Cathi completing the bunny hop with no teams in sight which leads me to believe they chose that side of the detour. Later, Amani and Marcus (who we assume are running behind) are on the bunny hop and we can see Laurence and Zac's lane not quite finished in one cap and we can see Laurence and Zac standing in their lane with a third person (judge?) in another cap. Zac is finally running his bunny as Sandy and Jeremy run by.
My best guess is Ernie and Cindy had the option of u-turning Zac and Laurence or Sandy and Jeremy and chose Zac and Laurence knowing they can be fast and it would explain seeing them on the bunny hop behind Marcus and Amani.
Cindy's sound-bite could be 'important' because Zac and Laurence may be eliminated because they u-turned them.
My prediction:
Andy & Tommy
Ernie & Cindy
Bill & Cathi
Jeremy & Sandy
Marcus & Amani
Laurence and Zac
Of course, that's assuming Sandy and Jeremy just ran by the bunny hop completely lost trying to find the u-turn. LOL
-
I have to admit that my theory falls apart if the Butter is better assumption does not hold. :lol:
So, farmers, Bill & Cathi could have only done Bunnies and be on their way.
But that starts a chain reaction of logic that goes like:
We have to pick from these Teams to get the "Don't steal our 1st place" U-Turn from Ernie & Cindy: not Tommy & Andy who only do Butter (because we never see them in a bunny lane)
1) Marcus & Amani, MIA, no way they are right behind Ernie & Cindy
2) Laurence & Zac
3) Jeremy & Sandy, way last, it's not going to be them
So by process of elimination, it would be that Ernie & Cindy U-Turn Laurence & Zac (again, this is the result if the Butter is Better assumption does not hold).
But the way it bugs me is that Marcus & Amani are doing their bunny ahead of Laurence & Zac. And if Laurence & Zac were doing Butter right there with Ernie & Cindy then they should not be still doing Bunny lane construction at 1:35 pm. Remember, we have Ernie & Cindy finishing back in Copenhagen at 12:06 pm.
It just does not add up!
I'm putting my foot down: Ernie & Cindy U-Turn Bill & Cathi :lol:
Butter is Better you can count on that! :jam:

:welcome2: to RFF, JillianVP! We don't bite, really. :lol:

You know, Zac could struggle dancing. :lol:

It would add up if Laurence and Zac are the second team Uturned. Here's how I see it:
1. L/Z, E/C, A/T, and maybe A/M and maybe J/S choose Butter while B/C and one of J/S and A/M do as well
2. Ernie and Cindy Uturn either Jeremy and Sandy or Amani and Marcus (whichever one did Butter with them)
2. That team Uturns Laurence and Zac b/c they are late to the Detour or do bad at it
3. Laurence and Zac are in last

Let me play devil's advocate.
IF Ernie/Cindy uturned Jeremy/Sandy, then we would have seen at least a race course set up for them, and we didn't. And if in turn, Jeremy/Sandy uturned Zac/Laur., J/S would have been at the bunny task before Z/L, not after. The caps were pretty clear in showing only 3 bunny lanes set up. So I can't see how uturning Jeremy/Sandy would fit.
IF E/C uturned Marcus/Amani, that would make more sense...BUT why were they at the bunny task so late if they were just behind E/C ? I can't imagine that course took almost 2 hours to set up, which is what it would be if they were there at 1:30ish and E/C were at the pitstop at noonish.

2. Ernie and Cindy Uturn either Jeremy and Sandy or Amani and Marcus (whichever one did Butter with them)
Neither way is possible because:
Jeremy & Sandy are going away from the Bunny cages without having done any Bunny work and at a time that is after Marcus & Amani have finished doing the Bunny hop.
Marcus & Amani are doing the Bunny hop at 1:35 pm (Ernie & Cindy do the U-Turn at 30 to 40 minutes prior to 12:06 pm, that would be 11:26 to 11:36 am). It would not take Marcus & Amani 2 hours to set up the Bunny Steeplechase.
littlewop, you beat to it! :lol:
-
Those times seem awfully suspect since all teams were supposedly equaled at the HOO at the tower.
So on the previous page we deduced that Marcus/Amani probably didn't even get out of Lilongwe with everyone else. (Why they didn't is anyone's guess!)
Their fastest alternative routes (through Amsterdam) would probably be these two:
Lilongwe to Nairobi (1315-1625) to Amsterdam (2230-0540) to Copenhagen (either 0655-0820 or 0810-0930)
Lilongwe to Johannesburg (0905-1125) to Lagos (1540-2040) to Amsterdam (2220-0610) to Copenhagen (0810-0930)
For all we know, they might make it to the tower just before it opens, if it opens at 10am!
Even if it opens at 9AM they would not be that far behind.

Thanks for the 'welcome' Prophet, though I'm feeling a bit dizzy now... both from the welcome and all the speculations. LOL
-
I think the times are solid. It's a really good shot of the wristwatch and and the 12:06 pm comes from the person who took the picture.
I learned that Vor Frelsers Kirke opened at 7:30 am for the Racers.
So the drama is going to be how they manage to catch up and actually pass Laurence & Zac and Jeremy & Sandy.

About an hour to showtime! Based on what we know, who do you think is a goner tonight?
-
And my gut reaction is that Zac has two left feet.
Every cap means something...I think CBS gave us who has two left feet.

Sorry I missed the fun, great discussion! :jumpy:
-
Is there no foursquare picture today??
And :bigwelcome to RFF Jillian!
-
Yeah but it wasn't much. We already know they went to the Hillerod.
-
Is there a foursquare pic? Can you post it quick?
It was just the Roadblock location...nothing new :duno:
Post it anyway for posterity. :lol: Thanks!

Bill and Cathi getting U-Turned? Pics or it didn't happen.
:lol:
I seriously do hope this is not true, but yeah, since its once again an insider info (maybe? *sigh*) then I gotta trust it.
-
just wondering, what if Bill and Cathi didn't U-turn someone else? Will they be the last?
-
No,they make it back SOOOOOOOOOO QUICKLY!!! :hrt:
Quick suficient to make it to 2° place again,love them!
-
The bunnies are ultimately cute :hearts: :hrt:
I just wanna hug them and keep them safe from this evil world..
-
I wish they had Snoopy in the episode:

Not to mention how much Phil obviously enjoyed putting the bunny through its paces on the course.
-
OMG! It's the pitstop greeter! :lol:
Phil's bored at the pitstop obviously... maybe because after the first 3 teams who checked in, he needed to wait hours for the next 3 to arrive. :lol:
