it seems a long way from Copenhagen to Billund, do you think the teams will drive?  :duno:

As far as I am aware, Denmark and Belgium do not share a border, and so driving would require teams to go through Germany, and possibly also the Netherlands. I have no idea how long the drive would take - but TAR doesn't often have teams drive through a country without any tasks there (although there are exceptions).

I'm thinking there is a flight at some point... :duno:

Post by: Dom on November 14, 2011, 03:24:07 AM
Did I really just watch that? Possibly the most bizarre TAR preview clip ever!I'm confused about the Legoland task. There must be something more to it than 'Ride the teacups'.

Perhaps the biggest thing we can gauge from the teams being in Legoland is that they don't take a train to Brussels. Billund is a long way from the nearest railway station, but it does have its own airport. Sun Air flies from Billund Airport (near Legoland) to Brussels three times a day, but here's where it gets interesting.

We strongly suspect that 6th July was our filming date, and the three flights were as follows:

0725 > 0850 (Unlikely that they caught this one)
1225 > 1400 (Possibly intended, but this flight is listed as being cancelled on the 6th and 7th of July)
1750 > 1915 (Likely)

The only sighting we have in Brussels is a Facebook post timestamped at 10.06pm after teams had checked in. Though I'm not sure if this is local time or Peach's Facebook time..

2. Body language (reading a body language from a Belgian body language expert): http://www.centerforbodylanguage.com/about-us/

p.s.
Since they're racing to Belgium on the 2 episodes of TAR 19, do you think that the 3d animated film, The Adventures of Tintin will boost the box office earnings worldwide after showing those 2 episodes? :duno:

I was shocked when I saw the preview, teams are going to be in speedos flexing?

kind of too much, don't you think?'

at first, I thought they were muscle suits, but looking closely, no they seem to be the real deal.

This is either a sign of desperation for ratings or extreme creativity.

I'm stunned that all teams don't seem uncomfortable with the idea.

I'd laugh though if this is the first amazing race episode that excites people in a different way

Actually no. I would have hope for Nat and Kat or Brooke and Claire to strip anyday. :lol:

Every season there's more or less a task contestant has to strip, be it swimming, running naked in winter times or whatsoever. If their main ideal is to let people strip, they would have called everyone to strip for the water roadblock in Phuket leg 2, the water detour in Phuket leg 1, the malawi detour last leg... so many instances and chances for them to "strip". :lol:

Legoland is in Denmark as well. That seems like a RI to me because the RB is also in Denmark. It can't be one side of the Detour if the Detour is in Brussels.

It seems like teams could fly because Legoland is right beside the airport.

Is this the leg with the pitstop at the Atomium or is that the next one?

I would guess that it is in Odense. HCA was born there and it is on the way to Billund.

It doesn't look like a really proper theatre though. Maybe a smaller place?

It's a person guys. The Muscles from Belguim is Jean Claude van Damme

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Van_Damme

A guess would be somewhere in the town of Berchem-Sainte Agathe, which is his hometown

They are assembling/doing something in the teacups, look at the table. Perhaps Lego? :lol:

Agree! It seems like they have to assemble something with Lego before the teacups stop / stay in the teacups until finish~

The muscle location looks more like a palace/castle/theatre type place.  It doesn't look like your typical gym or pose down location.  There is a beautiful tapestry and big ornate white pillars.

Could this be 1/2 of the detour and then the Legoland puzzle is the other one and Jeremy and Sandy had to give up on the Legos?

So you guys are saying, their going from the pitstop to Billund, where they do that teacup challenge, then go somewhere else in Denmark and do the roadblock, and then go to Belgium to do the Detour?

From the pitstop they are going to the theater for the RB. The theater is in Copenhagen, look at Caper's post, it's in Christianborg Palace. Then they go to Legoland which is near Billund (identified by Chateau) and then they go to Belgium for the muscle show (presumably the detour).

I don't think the Legos can be part of the Detour because then they will have nothing in Belgium except the Pitstop. Why fly somewhere for that? Doing an ARI at Legoland makes sense because the airport is literally in their backyard.

I say it's a FF on the Legoland task and 3 teams namely Ernie & Cindy, Marcus & Amani and Jeremy & Sandy will race for FF prize but none of them will complete it because probably all of them got puked on riding a barrel-like shaped carousel just like Sandy did on what we'd saw on a preview of that next episode, and they'd wasted it.

While everyone has probably made this deduction, yes, that is the DB reservation office in the Hamburg Hautbahnhof.  I was just in there booking a train trip a month ago. It is just inside the entrance seen in the other photo, to the right when you walk in.  Very cool to see a place I've been so recently featured, even if it is just en route.

19 Euros is too cheap for a ticket to Belgium.  It either says a higher amount, or it could just be a reservation, as some trains require seat reservations, while others do not.

Okay, bear with me all :   With the first set of screen caps I was leaning towards an art museum as the location for the muscle task.  Now I am thinking it is at a hotel ballroom.  I think it may be at The Conrad in brussels.  I haven't found a direct  pic of the stage but I've come across some other pics of the conrad ballroom and there are other paintings on walls that look similar to the one on the stage, and the style of the walls looks the same.  Trying to set up link but having problems .... Will keep trying!

I'm starting to think that too. Or maybe there's an unaired side of the Detour.

IF there is no Detour, and the Roadblock is in Denmark, we'd have.

PS->RB->RI->Trains->RI->Task->PS.

Being the trains a bunching point, I have to think this leg is either a NEL or a TBC. IF not, producers are SO EVIL!

Silly me! :lol: :-[ I guess no one does the other one.

Quote from: caper

Okay, bear with me all :   With the first set of screen caps I was leaning towards an art museum as the location for the muscle task.  Now I am thinking it is at a hotel ballroom.  I think it may be at The Conrad in brussels.  I haven't found a direct  pic of the stage but I've come across some other pics of the conrad ballroom and there are other paintings on walls that look similar to the one on the stage, and the style of the walls looks the same.  Trying to set up link but having problems .... Will keep trying!

Caper
here is a picture of the Conrad hotel ballroom but I don't know if this is it. The chairs don't match.
It's picture 14

Also, a question: Aren't they going to Ghent? It's this episode or the next? Because the task could also be in Ghent.

 :lol:  it's not a painting, but rather a Flemish Tapestry (a piece of thick textile fabric with pictures or designs formed by weaving colored weft threads or by embroidering on canvas) which are plentiful in Belgium.  Could be anywhere.   :(

Episode 9 has the following:

at least one task in Copenhagen
travel Copenhagen to Billund
at least one task in Billund
transportation from Billund to Hamburg and Hamburg to Ghent

I don't see how there will be room for anything else in episode 9. I strongly agree with Dom El. Major Ghent tasks will be in episode 10.

I know I've said this before, but doesn't anyone else agree that this speedo exhibitionist task a bit... much?

Again, either a sign of desperation for ratings or creating thinking (who am I kidding, it's just not right)

anyway I've read in the previous article that it's a detour, so teams have a choice between it or something else, they pick speedos. I guess the other one must have been hugely time absorbing

P.S I know I've been obsessing over this whole exhibitionist thing, I guess it's because I know families with kids that watch TAR and when I think about them watching this episode... .... ... yeah, you get what I mean

It does surprise me to see how TINY those bikini bottoms are, but I'm not offended by it.  The racers seem pretty relaxed and even enjoying themselves!  I do wonder how much will have to be blurred for the censors....

I don't have a problem letting my 7-year-old daughter watch it.  I did spend a lot of time in Europe as a child, so I am probably less inclined to think of skin as scandalous.

This confessional clip confirms that there is a resting point (may not be a Pit Stop) at the Atomium!  On the other hand, the clip could be from the end of the leg that airs on November 27th.

So, it's not just a walk up a finish easily task. I wonder how many points they need, maybe at least 15?

I wonder if Andy and Tommy were about to get a high score and that is why the clip cut off, so we would not know they are in first.

It looks like that despite the first two tasks, everyone will be bunched on mid-leg transport and this silly judged task will determine the order. :groan: Poor leg design.

This clip of Ernie & Cindy at the Atomium occurred close to 4:00 am on July 7th when we found the tweet about Race activities there.

I'm going to say that was the Pit Stop of the second part of racing in Belgium.  So we will see this Pit Stop on November 27th.

(http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=26458.0;attach=196327;image)

It's easier to fit the Panama leg and the Finish into July 7th to July 10th.  I can't fit in an additional Belgium leg into that!

Post by: Prophet on November 19, 2011, 02:21:50 PM
That's why I think this leg could be a TBC. They wouldn't have time for a confessional at the end of this leg in that case. I'm not sure why else they would save up the questions.
With the odd structure of this leg it would also make sense.

Phil told us at the beginning there were 12 legs this time, if TPTB are compressing the rest period, they might bring back the no rest period pit stop which gives us two legs and doesn't make Phil a liar.

If the bodybuilding challenge is the only challenge before the Pit Stop, then I certainly hope that this is a TBC - otherwise someone is going to possibly be eliminated because they can't pose! :res:

Maybe Ernie & Cindy arrived just on time to board the first train to Germany, while the rest stayed in Denmark for the following one. After the ticket loss, they can't go in the first train to Belgium, thus waiting for the rest of teams?

So with teams being spotted at the Atomium on the 6th July and then Atlanta on the 10th July, it seems very unlikely that we have time for a second Belgium leg and a Panama leg in between.

I think its pretty clear what we have instead. Teams will make their way to Parc Elisabeth (guess) on the afternoon of the 6th only to be told to keep racing. This will send them out to Ghent and potentially Lommel for Leg 10 before coming back to the Atomium for the true Pit Stop. They started counting TBC legs separately as of last season, so I'm betting that's what we have here in Belgium.

This is nothing... It's a body building competition.  They are in swimsuits.  If they were pole dancing it might be a different story.  Now, have you seen the video for the song 'I'm Sexy & I know it'?  Compared to that video, this is simply a walk in the park. LOL

I know the promo said the "Amazing Race Express" goes from Denmark to Germany to Belgium but I think they self drive into Hamburg Germany from Legoland.

IF the Detour is performed by Amani & Marcus at 10.10 PM, I don't think it's a TBC if Ernie & Cindy have a confessional at night in the Atomium.

I mean, if they were told to keep racing, go to Ghent, complete tasks and get back to Brussells' Atomium for a Pitstop next leg, definitely it wouldn't be at night.

10:10 am makes sense when you remember that they have arrived on an over-night train.

Did anyone else besides me notice in the Promo 2 video that Bill and Cathi aren't shown in any frames with the other racers when they are all 'tanning'?  You can see the pillar with the candelabra on it in the scene of Bill and Cathi getting tanned that appears to be the same one behind the crowd of other racers but they're not there.

So with teams being spotted at the Atomium on the 6th July and then Atlanta on the 10th July, it seems very unlikely that we have time for a second Belgium leg and a Panama leg in between.

I think its pretty clear what we have instead. Teams will make their way to Parc Elisabeth (guess) on the afternoon of the 6th only to be told to keep racing. This will send them out to Ghent and potentially Lommel for Leg 10 before coming back to the Atomium for the true Pit Stop. They started counting TBC legs separately as of last season, so I'm betting that's what we have here in Belgium.

Already covered the second Belgium leg question yesterday!   :tup:

I know the promo said the "Amazing Race Express" goes from Denmark to Germany to Belgium but I think they self drive into Hamburg Germany from Legoland. 

It's not a train from Denmark.   :knuckles:

Can I ask why you think they are self driving to Hamburg?  I've been looking back at tweets and such, and saw no info.  Is this a hunch, or based on spottings, or possibly based on train schedules?  Thanks in advance :)

I think I have your answer. The rail/bus connections from Billund to Hamburg require these connections:
Vejle
Fredericia
Kolding

Those take a along time. It is not that far from Billund to Hamburg by car, only 154 miles, so that could explain why teams are self-driving: it makes good sense.

And we had promo shots of Hamburg's Train Station.  That would not make air if it was just a stop.  The place where Ernie & Cindy dropped their ticket was Hamburg's station.

Somebody already got it, the overnight ride they take is:

I can't wait to see the rating numbers for this episode, who knows how many people turn up to see the racers in bikinis and speedos  :lol3:

If those numbers are really high, I wonder how CBS is going to react? maybe ordering a fully nude challenge in the next season  :groan:

nah, I'm kidding  B:)

The problem this week was that many people take the whole week off for Thanksgiving in the U.S. and travel this weekend to avoid the outbound rush, and then return Friday or Saturday to beat the inbound rush.

Gas at over $3 a gallon? Higher airfares than a year ago? Won't stop most of them.

So it is hard to say what the numbers will look like on the overnights.

IF the Detour is performed by Amani & Marcus at 10.10 PM, I don't think it's a TBC if Ernie & Cindy have a confessional at night in the Atomium.

I mean, if they were told to keep racing, go to Ghent, complete tasks and get back to Brussells' Atomium for a Pitstop next leg, definitely it wouldn't be at night.

Definitely, it was 10.10 AM. :lol3:

I think CBS made a mistake in not specifying this task as a Detour on-air. Some of the racers were clearly not comfortable with the skimpy outfits, and if the viewers were under the impression that the contestants basically had no choice but to go through with the task, it could put the show in a bad light. But if everyone knew that teams had been offered another option, it would seem less like they were 'forced' into it.

In fact, I'm surprised that everyone chose this side of the Detour. Do we have any idea what the other was?

I really like either Brussels sprouts or Mussels in Brussels as the DETOUR. However, the most famous food in all of Belgium and particularly Brussels is in fact pommes frites (AKA French fries or Freedom fries) with the most delicious mayonnaise on top you could ever imagine. So those 3 are all too positive to have been chosen. However, a treasured but not as favorite food in Brussels is eels in green sauce. It's unbelievably delicious, but teams might have had some qualms about an eating challenge because World Race Productions has been known to pile the quantities on to ridiculous levels in food challenges.

Maybe after at least one of the current top 5 teams is eliminated we will get the answer to this mystery question!

They are, but the best pommes frites come from Belgium. Just ask anyone in Europe who travels around the European Union. Or better yet, go to Brussels and taste them for yourself.

I've been in Brussells, and what you have to ask for lunch/dinner to try once is "des Mulles et Frites".

About if it's or not a Detour, here's a clear shot if it was.

I have wonders if teams asked there cab driver if they knew how to get to the other Detour and the cabbie said no, or was unsure. Making them all choose the Speedos.

I remember in TAR 9 leg 3, when teams had to either search though Russian nesting dolls or clean a trolley. The cabs knew where the dolls were, but all the cabs had a hard time finding the trolley place. Many took the trolley Detour, but had one hell of a time finding it.

"The Detour for this half of the leg was Scour or Scrub. In Scour, teams had travel to Dubrovka Theatre to search among 1,500 pieces of Russian nesting dolls to find one of 10 microscopic clues hidden inside on this doll. In Scrub, teams had travel to a trolly bus depot at 8 Trolley Park to thoroughly wash a Russian public trolley bus, respectively. When the bus is cleaned, a bus driver would get their next clue."
Wiki.

Post by: Prophet on November 23, 2011, 06:14:24 PM
My guess it was either impossible to find or it was an eating task. We can be pretty sure from the show that no one even tried to drive over to that one so they all had to have decided when opening the clue to do the speedos. I wonder if the close proximity of teams after that mid leg transport caused them to believe that following the others was the best choice. But that doesn't seem to explain why no one seemed to consider changing.
The other idea I've had is that something went wrong with the other task from a production standpoint and they were forced to do that one. In this case they would not have had time to change out the envelopes. I am still kind of surprised that their editors were not good enough to delete those frames showing the yellow envelopes. :lol:
