WOO HOO I was the first to vote....i voted for pat and Mom...not sure yet this week and they seem so stressed. They were begging for money twice yesterday ~ it is so early in the game.
I think the brother's flat tire is a misdirection....they are in last place already and they show them in trouble. I think this means they move up in the pack.
-
In the insider video Phil says that he has just eliminated Megan and Heidi and now they are going to the next pit stop which is in another country. I think they were driving there because they had so much time since the teams finished the leg so quickly. So I think the next pit stop has to be in Argentina.
From the preview I'm guessing that the Brothers have either leap-frogged to the front and are finally out in the lead when the tire blows or they are trailing everyone.

-
In the insider video Phil says that he has just eliminated Megan and Heidi and now they are going to the next pit stop which is in another country. I think they were driving there because they had so much time since the teams finished the leg so quickly. So I think the next pit stop has to be in Argentina.
From the preview I'm guessing that the Brothers have either leap-frogged to the front and are finally out in the lead when the tire blows or they are trailing everyone.
I think what Traegan meant to say was that Phil said they were off to another pitstop actually another country ..this was in the insider Video .
Claude says its Europe ^&# , why not he's been right so far .
I love the misdirection will this be it for Romber..he's smirking ]][
Promo showing Pat & Mom lost..probably another misdirection but.. like you Texan ..I think they maybe toast .well untill we get more promos anyway .
-
Wow! Extremely quick vidcaps, Puddin. Way to go. It appears that Susan and Patrick are lost in Chile. Look at this link http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/ and compare the license plate styles of Chile and Argentina to the license plate in vidcap #11.
-
remeber that Rob could not eat the gross food on his seaseon fo Survivor. His I am doen maybe out of contect...she is looking at Amber and she has a stern look..But hsi I'm Done could be when he actually finishes. If the gross food is that bad, I have a hard time with P/S completing this after they are lost.
So it looks like the detour is either bikes ro rafts.... we know the brothers choose bikes. Which is going to be easier... i can see the brothers trying to get ahead by taking bikes.
-
If as it looks that the DETOUR is either RAFTS or BIKES, then once again the gross food challenge is the ROADBLOCK. We had the Caviar in St. Petersburg in TAR5 and the Hot Fish Soup in Budapest in TAR6. I guess we have to have at least one Gross Food Challenge in every race now. And if Rob had trouble with such even in Survivor why in the world would he want to do this one now?
-
They may not know what the challenge is at the time. Or maybe he is being a gentleman and saying no sweetie I do not want you to eat gross food. Or simply Amber did the last one so he choose to do this one.
Are they still in Chille during the gross food? IF so any idea on what the food could be? Keep in mind Tar 5 was not so much gross food, it was the amount of food that made it gross.
-
I would guess from the previews that Susan/Patrick, Greg/Brian, and Romber all survive to run Leg 4.
-
In the insider video Phil says that he has just eliminated Megan and Heidi and now they are going to the next pit stop which is in another country. I think they were driving there because they had so much time since the teams finished the leg so quickly.
Traegan, They were going to try to make a flight instead of driving. My guess is that they will try to make a 5pm flight to Mendoza,Argentina. Otherwise they would have to drive 5 to 6 hours going through here http://www.ihana.com/big_trip/diary/2003/04/apr2003_3.htm
Also if you look at the pictures in the link, it has some features of some of the vidcaps. There is a large switchback. There is an abandoned rail line. There is Mt. Aconcagua in the background (nice fact: Aconcaqua is the tallest peak in the world outside of the Himalayas). I think if someone googles for photos of Mt. Aconcagua they will find a match for one of the vidcaps.
My guess is that all racers do the whitewater rafting in Chile, the detour is hike or bike up in the Andes, and the roadblock is the eating task.
-
For screencap 21 (the hairpins).
See the road to Mendoza (http://www.irisentoreopreis.nl/laserena.shtml).
Go down to the image at the bottom of the page.
ETA: Okay, now I see that the same shot is in the link given by Pedaler.

I will never forget that image of Rob doing the gross food in survivor (%# .. eating ..its shaped like a cookie. I bet Rob is ragging on Amber to do the Roadblock ^&# It almost seems that they are waiting for their turn for the food .
Ron or Lynn behind Amber ?

To me it looks like Ray and Deana, Rob and Amber, Meredith and Gretchen, Alex and Lynn, Uchenna and Joyce are all afe being that Debbie is doing the roadblock at night, all the others were not.
I think it goes.
Night Five/Early Day Six: Teams leave Chile and got to Agentina, on plane (Rob stealing cab) and looked like Deb and Bi were in a airport.
Because of a short flight, or short bus/cab ride the leg continues during the day of day six.
Day Six: Detour Bikes or Rafts and the roadblock and pit stop.
It also looked like Susan and Patrick were driving close at night so i think either Susan and Patrick or Debbie and Binca get elimnated. mayeb Brian and Greg.

From the write up for Ep three at TVRules.net
One Team makes a drastic decision druing a road block and encourages other teams to do the same on "The Amazing Race 7," airing Tuesday, March 15 (9:00-10:00 PM) on CBS.
"Do You Need Some Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation?"
When one team cannot complete a Road Block, they decide to give up trying, take a penalty and encourage other teams to follow suit.
Also, taking advantage of a Team distracted while asking for directions, another Team steals their unattended cab.
Meanwhile, one Team discovers they are horribly lost after driving two hours in the wrong direction.
Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
I think Rob quits the eating task and tries to get others to give up too - God! I hope it doesn't work.
-
How about this thought everyone? Puddin's vid cap shows Rob/Amber and Ray/Deana at the road block at the same time. Maybe something happened between them. They meet up at the road block and Rob is pissed at them for some reason. He says "I'm done" as in "I'm done with the alliance with Ray and Deana".
We see Rob eating so I don't think he's saying he's done with the race.
-
I think that a team will try to get other to take teh penalty and when no one goes for it they dont do it. . Thats just my guess
-
Pic 18 is Greg and Brian running - it looks like one of them is wearing the hat fromthis weeks episode. Now the question is are they going to the bike detour or running back to get parts to repair the flat/another bike?
-
Susan and Patrick are driving 2 hours in the wrong direction?? I think they're gone!
-
Good find Traegan ..thank you for posting .

Meanwhile, one Team discovers they are horribly lost after driving two hours in the wrong direction. OMG ! Agreed sounds like Pat & mom are toast ..unless this is on the way to the roadblock and the team that takes the penalty is eliminated? Just a thought ..
[ Aaron & Haydon were penalized by four hours for not completing the Loc/Mt Roadblock]
AOL TV listings~
The Amazing Race 7:Do You Need Some Mouth... Tue. 03/15/05 09:00 pm 702 WCBSDT
One team is unable to complete a Road Block so the members stop trying and accept a penalty, then try to encourage other teams to do the same.

I think the bike flat thing is a red herring. They almost certainly gave them one, or maybe many spare tires. Changing them is a bitch though if you don't know what your doing. Still, should take more than 30 minutes to change a tire. So, my feeling is that Greg & Company actually make up time on the rest of the group during the detour.
Patrick & Suzan are toast unless the "quits the roadblock" thing is actually true (which I've got difficulty believing, I think it's just misdirection, I think Patrick Suzan are gone unless the show pulls a BOLO on us with a to be continued.
-
|( Pull a Bolo ...maybe foghillcafe , something to think about . Reading some other message boards..there is no way Rob quits the roadblock ..the vidcaps show that they are having fun and I think he's just being a smartass . I could see him trying to get a few others to do so and when it doesn't work he says " I'm done" we see Amber standing in the backround {l{
Also on the bros with the flat tire , I can't be sure but it sure looks like they have tools ..maybe in vidcap 18 we see them running to borrow some tools from another biker or someone ?
-
Puddin, Good job on blowing up the photo of Ron's food. I would think that he is eating one of the delicacies mentioned here http://www.hostelargentina.com/countryinfo/eating.php
Looking at some photos, I would guess he is eating mollejas (sweetbreads) http://www.gastrosur.com/cocinagaditana/Imagenes/rece136.jpg
-
YUK sounds grosse.They like Italian food there too , I could remember my Grandma eating raw pigs feet , tripe and cows tongue.. ]:,
from Pedalers link ( thank you Pedaler)
ETA: looking at the photos ..they are defintley preparing these are being prepared in an open air grill .
Food & Drink
The bad news for all you veggies is that the Argentine folk believe that no meal is complete without meat and, the more disgusting the source, the better. Take for example, parrillada – the national favourite. This particular delicacy is a mixed grill whose ingredients consist of steak and assorted entrails. The usual accompaniments include small intestines (chinchulines), the large intestine (tripa gorda), the udder (ubre), the kidneys (riñones), the tongue (lengua), the brain (sesos), blood sausage (morcilla) and to top the whole concoction off you can have mollejas (sweetbreads). In fact the only part of a cow which they do not eat in one form or another is the lung. Maybe if I had just given you the local name there might have been the slightest chance that this dish could be appetising. Now, however, it would appear to be a lost cause, unless you have tendencies akin to Hannibal Lecter that is.
Other favorites which come to us compliments of the humble cow are grilled steak (bife de chorizo), sirloin steak (lomo), and small chunks of barbecued beef served with fried potatoes (tira de asado). These come with a salad and a local red wine which is called vino tinto.
Thankfully the immigrants who have helped shape Argentine culture have also made their mark on the cuisine. The Italian community have introduced their favourites of lasagne, cannelloni and ravioli as well as the local speciality of ñoquis (gnocchi in Italian). This is a traditional meal at the end of the month in Argentina and it for this reason that they are a common restaurant special on the 29th of each month.
Several regions also have their own particular type of cuisine. Spicy dishes from the Arab and Middle Eastern schools of cookery are popular in Mendoza and in the north of the country. In the south, you will find that lamb and mutton dishes prevail over the variety which require beef. River fish are excellent in the northeast and considering how much beef the natives eat, you will probably have your choice of the tastiest and freshest fish every time.

I think Amber is waiting her turn for the food or watching someone finish ..jogging pants alert ..to the left of Amber
I get the feeling that they have to wait in line..first come first serve.
Whos taller than Amber ? Maybe Meredith..sort of his posture ?

My feeling is that Brian & Greg will win the leg. Considering we've got a guy who went on fear factor, it's improbably they'll have problem with the eating task.
The elimination is between Debbie & Bianca and Suzan & Patrick.
-
But didn't whichever brother it was that was on Fear Factor have a problem eating whatever it was, took too long, and then got mad when he was told that he was eliminated? If that is the case, then maybe he will have trouble!
-
That was Brian. He talked too long and didn't finsih the gross eating challenge. I'm sure the brothers learned a valuable lesson on Fear Factor not to be repeated.

For "who does which detour" I would bet Debbie and Bianca avoid the river rafting. See their Insider video for a full description of a near death experience in the rapids.

I think we haven't really considered the fact that this could be a non-elim round. They love to randomly put these in...and with all the difficulties teams seem to be having with the challenges, couldn't THAT be possible?
Much like the break down cars and Lori and Bolo's overnight stay....
OR, what if the reason Sue and Patrick are gone is b/c they get the fast foreward...and...once again a la Lori and Bolo get lost on the way to the pit stop. So, then even though they complete the fast forward they are still in a position to be eliminated. Or ...its misdirection and they're not nearly eliminated...just really really late. And THAT's why they're not in any vidcaps.
-
thank you for the vidcaps S1mone :) and thanks for the info Chateau d If :))
:<( Dr. Scott ..nice to see you ! Yep ..it was mentioned somewhere in this thread ( pretty long read through it all ) and im getting the same Bolo/Lori to be cont. feeling too . I know its early in the game but they do not always keep it the same because then there would be no surprises ..plus I was thinking of EP 5 title "What A Gaucho You Are " could this be a recap / flashback show ? like " Phil is a choochoo charlie" ? ..just a thought ..im not saying its so . {l{

Hey puddin, where do you get all thoose vidcaps!
Do these spoilers mean that Debbie and Bianca are next to go..oh not this is so sad... :':')

I think episode 5 is way to early to have a recrap episode ..... not much yet to recap!!!! (%#
And in TAR6, episode 3 is where we saw the first Yield, but no one used it!!!!

Your right Tanbuns .. vidcap 101 & 105 and maybe 100 sure do look like the pitstop ..I've been searching for that cobble/tiled surface ..no luck finding the exact picture ..fwiw Mendoza has 5 plaza's and cobbled type streets ..without going back to read I think this was already mentioned Mendoza ... with that im off to South America again ( google ) :<(

Super effort Chateau d If, S1mOne, and Pudding. Catching that raft name helps develop a time sequence.
It looks like they have to drive to Mendoza, Argentina. Puddin, here's a highway map for Chile http://www.viajeporchile.cl/vers_eng/mapa_de_chile/mapa5.htm. The racers will be drving from Santiago past Portillo into Argentina. It looks straightforward in the sense that you have to drive North and then East, but Mom and Son must have messed up somewhere.
Here's another map showing the way to Mendoza http://www.viajeporchile.cl/vers_eng/mapa_de_chile/mapa5.htm
So it appears that they drive to the Chile/Argentina border in the Andes and then hike. They then go rafting before undertaking the eating roadblock. I still can't determine if the detour is hike or bike or raft or bike.
The photo in Mendoza with Rob and Amber from allyourtv.com http://www.allyourtv.com/gallery/a/amazingrace7the/03152005b.html has me perplexed. Why would they be smiling and not running? Even last week during their win, they hustled to the pit stop.

I saw a commercial on during the NCAA basketball games today, and it clearly showed Ray & Deana rafting!!!!

Gaucho dudes~
In Argentina, the legend of the gaucho lives on.
José Cicarelli is a modern-day gaucho. Like his ancestors, he wears a white shirt and tucks his loose-fitting black pants into great leather boots. Unlike his ancestors he also wears a digital watch. He is cooking all manner of beef cuts and sausages over a fire in a smoky little building called the parilla. The parilla, or barbecue pit, is a hut made of mud bricks painted white with a dirt floor and a huge grill inside. "How is the asado going?" I ask him. He gives no answer

So, Debbie and Bianca might have chosen the other detour choice? Is that why it doesnt show them with the other teams...it also doesn't show Meredith and Gretchen at the detour.. *(^
-
In screen cap #30 it looks like Lynn is holding and examining a certain piece of bovine anatomy!
Never mind, I just saw the video in motion and the thing I thought he was holding turns out to be the lapel of his jacket which gets imaged just behind his hand.
-
IF you got good cardio, the bike should be the best detour choice. But, there's always the chance of a flat (as the brothers have seen). At high altitude, anybody who's not in shape will be wheezing insanely on the bikes.
-
Guessing M&G do the bikes
Meredith is a retired executive who spends his time fishing, biking, playing golf and teaching swimming. Father of three sons, Meredith is an avid swimmer who holds seven National Masters Swimming Championship titles. Meredith describes himself as competitive, articulate and compassionate.
Gretchen is a retired flight attendant and registered nurse. Mother of two, Gretchen spends most of her time cooking, biking, gardening and golfing
Deb & Bianca bikes ..thanks to Chateau
For "who does which detour" I would bet Debbie and Bianca avoid the river rafting. See their Insider video for a full description of a near death experience in the rapids.
( looking through the bios brb)
-
From the two shots of teams in the rafts doing the white water thing it looks like Ray and Deanna in one raft and U/J in another. Each raft has a pair of "guides" behind them with yellow helmets on and a fifth person steering in the stern. But it is hard to tell whether this task is part of the detour or a task all teams must do a la the zipline in Ep.1 But I do not think that it would be bike or hike that seems too extreme. So my guess is that it is peddle or paddle. The clue box is beside the railway line which we have seen the bikers on in the preview. But this looks to be too narrow for a railroad line, but it could be an abandoned rail associated with a mining operation.
-
Very logical deductions about Meredith & Gretchen, GMan!!! And I also saw on their video where Debbie says she is deathly afraid of white water. So you can bet she also does the bikes.
I do see Ray & Deana rafting here .....

I didn't see the vidcap of Uchenna & Joyce rafting, but they probably do, since they are hanging out with Ray & Deana here ....

Lets see if we can pull all the threads together and knit some kind of cloth which makes sense.
Again, this week there are a lot of holes in our story but we do seem to have a pretty good idea of where they start (Santiago,Chile) and where they end (Mendoza, Argentina). It is the road in between that is not so clear. So lets begin again at the beginning.
The first team to arrive at the Neptune Fountain in Santiago, Chile was Rob and Amber. From the lack of shadows it looks like it is close to high noon. As the other teams arrive the shadows begin to lengthen but not dramatically. So we can assume that the task was completed around noon time. So that means that again the next leg will begin in the dead of night.
And we do see Rob and Amber taking that cab in the middle of the night as Debbie and Bianca seem to be inside a hotel lobby asking directions for some place at the hotel desk. Now this is the first interesting thing for this leg. Rob and Amber arrived first and Debbie and Bianca were the sixth team to arrive, but now they are now together.
Where do they go with the taxi so early in the morning? Some speculate that they are going to the airport and fly to Mendoza, but this does not seem to match other footage that we will be seeing. So they may have a place to visit to pick up their next clue (if this is the case, there probably will be a major bunching waiting for the place to open after sunrise.)
Next we have Susan and Patrick driving in a nice new SUV of some sort. And from the looks of things it is early in the morning through the streets of Santiago. And later we see them driving with mountain scenery through the windows and the sun is now almost directly in Susan's eyes. We also have been told that they become completely lost and drive two hours in the wrong direction. If they then retrace their route they would be at least four or more hours behind everyone else. This will be a major handicap to overcome. And, in fact, this is the last we see of them in the previews.
So is the first task to do something in Santiago and then find their cars and drive up the mountain road from Santiago through Los Andes reaching the border at Portill. This would be a five to six hour drive. Here the road is that famous switchback to beat all switchbacks up to the border with Argentina at the Paso de los Libertores. This is the route that General Jose de San Martin took from Mendoza in 1817 when he led the Argentine army to drive the Spanish out of Chile and Peru. (More about this later).
The next we know about is seeing the teams walking, hiking, climbing up to the spot where the next clue box is located along side the abandoned tracks of the Transandine Railway which ran from Los Andes, Chile to Mendoza, Argentina. The interesting thing here is that none of the teams have their backpacks with them when they reach this clue box. So are their cars parked somewhere below at a scenic spot? Perhaps the famous natural bridge, Puenta del Inca? Or did they have to leave them at the border (no customs clearance for the cars? and walk to this site which may not be far away, but if this is the case, where are their backpacks?)
This, I think, is the DETOUR clue box. And the tasks seem to be a choice between PEDDLE a bike a certain distance along the railway track or PADDLE a raft through a trecherous white water course on the Rio Mendoza. In any case somewhere along the line they will have to retreave their back packs after they have completed the Detour. It looks like U/J and R/D are doing the rafting. The others looks like bikers. Except for S/P who are missing.
Their next stop may be the Parque Provincial Aconcagua where they will meet up with a really typical Argentine Churrasco or barbecue. This is the SUPERSIZED EATING CHALLENGE (not so much gross as first hinted at, but supersized like in the St. Petersburg caviar challenge.) And the Argentine churrasco is tremendous! And endless parade of beef, pork, lamb, sausage, and innerds (as my wife describes them). It could be a super size challenge and we do see everyone having trouble choking down the endless parade of goodies. Except Rob. This is truely CBS misdirection. His "I'm done!" is repeated over and over in the various commercials to give you the hint that he is throwing the challenge, taking a penalty, and perhaps putting he and Amber in danger of being eliminated. BUT, we have a nice sighting of them two or three legs later in South Africa, so do not be misled; I think he is saying he is done with his alliance with Ron and Ray or that he is merely stating that he is done eating.
The pitstop probably is in Mendoza. This would be a nice spot to stop after a very trying and difficult day. Mendoza also leads to the "Gaucho" country hinted at for Leg 4 and also has an international airport which would give the teams an escape route to London where we believe they will end up at the end of Leg 4. In Mendoza they may head for the Parque General San Martin and find the statue of General Jose de San Martin, Mendoza's most famous hero. He led the army which in February 1817 drove the Spanish out of Chile and Peru. So this nicely ties the first three countries visited by TAR7 together in a nice package.
The big question is where are Susan and Patrick? Will they be Boloized and saved by a "to be continued?" Once they leave Santiago we do not see them again. We have accounted for all of the teams at the Churassco Detour, but it is not clear how many of these teams are there together. The editing seems to show them all there together, which would mean a major bunching has occurred, or this is just the trick of editing and actually all the teams are not there at the same time.
We have the general outline of tomorrow's episode, but there are a lot of holes that someone else may be able to fill.
Good luck

Was Leg 3 in TAR6 a non-elimination? wondering if perhaps D/B or M/G are saved this week?

Thanks a lot for the information, Banzai!!! We've been missing you around here!!!! |5|
-
Another great job, GMan. Hopefully, the food challenge will be focused more on volume than taste. One of the drawbacks to the caviar eating challenge in St. Petersburg was that it was inside. With this one being outside, maybe we'll get a better sense of how long it takes each team to complete based on the amount of daylight and darkness.
Banzai, Welcome back. Be wary of some of those other TAR detectives out in cyberspace.
Of course, I want a team that PEDALS to win this leg. |#'
-
If you look at the sky in the two pics at the bottom of page five (sorry I haven't figured out inserting an image yet) there is definetly time between Rob and Amber and the Brothers. I know they aren't in exactly the same place - it's probably the end of the detour which means Rob and Amber paddle - but it is along the same train tracks and probably not that far apart (just a guess). In the Brothers picture the sky is blue with nice white clouds, in Rob and Amber's pic there are grey clouds rolling in. From the pictures I'd say the Brothers are ahead at this point. (Again just a guess)

Question???? *(^
I saw at Reality TV that they didn't think that the rafting task is a detour.
FreshlySqueezed 89 desperate attention whore postings
DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square"
03-11-05, 01:46 AM (EST)
32. "RE: Episode 3 preview "
at first i thought the white water rafting was the other half of the detour, but it can't be. Detours have to be done by the teams alone. The rafts had several people in them. Most likely, trained rafters. one could conceivably say that the rafters assisted certain teams (who just sat there and didn't do anything) while they made it more difficult for others. I think the white water rafting is the equivalent of the zipline from the premiere! It's jsut a task they all have to do.
The detour to me is
Bike Up or Hike Up.
They can either Bike up to the next cluebox - Brian & Greg are shown doing that. Or they can Hike up to the next cluebox - Meredith & Gretchen along with another team in grey are shown hiking up the road.
What do yall think???? Banzai, puddin, anyone???????
-
Dameche ..FreshlySqueezed has some valid points ..I really don't know ? There are unfilled holes/gaps in our clues so this may explain it ? Just be glad its not a MW question {l{

No way would the producers or Mendoza Rafting let just two people and a guide to steer alone through the white water. In the two scenes we have there are two guides in yellow helmets behind the TAR team paddling in the front. I think that they did almost the same thing in the white water task in TAR5 or was it TAR6? I don't think that Hike It would compare with Bike It so my bet is on Pedal or Paddle. And there seem to be an abundance of route markers so many may be just directions to the next place in the route toward Mendoza.
-
In TAR5 the teams that went Sleddging had a guide with them. Last year in both paddling detours there were guides/pros in the boats with the teams. I think it is Peddle/Paddle

Original thought..yeah Sue & Pat are annouced as lost ..but could it be Deb & Bianca? Why the night time RB shots ? Maybe they are the ones lost for 2hours the wrong way not P&S ?
Banzai~
So what happened to Debbie?
There're a few scenarios:
1. something went wrong @ the Argentine custom checkpoint
2. car broke down
3. got lost on the way to the Detour or Roadblock
4. got hurt @ the Detour when opted for the river rafting task
5. got hurt @ the Detour when opted for the mountain biking task
6. eat too slow
7. got sick - food poisoning; high altitude sickness; Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation?
8. Bianca exploded when Rob stole the cab
what else?
I'm leaning towards Deb & Bianca coming in last again |( not M&G .
-
Ok my take on who gets lost etc...
Pat and Susan get lost, so when D & B arrive at the Roadblock, they find out that one team is behind them. After a certain period of time, they decide to forgo the roadblock, taking the time penalty(not knowing exactly how long it would be)and Pat and Susan arrive to the RB, complete it in record time and finish last, but with the time penalty to D&B, they are not eliminated and D&B are.
Now the reason that D&B wouldn't know how long the time penalty would be is simple...the only time I can remember anyone quitting a task and taking a penalty was last season and D&B wouldn't have seen it because they were already filming this season.
-
Good point, Tina. Maybe I'll go change my answers (again)! ]][
-
I changed to D&B getting philiminated (%# .. |(
-
Don't change them on my accounts, only if you believe what my thought process has come up with. Just remember a few things.....
In all previews from previous seasons and this season, no one that was ever shown or heard saying.."this is it, we are last etc..." was ever eliminated in that show. Also, the time penalty is enough time to give P&S time to catch up, the old couples have always made it past the 4th leg and usually lose the leg after the first non-elimination round. All of this is what made me turn my attention to the other team with the most face time.
-
ack, i unfortunately think that you're right tina. i just can't bring myself to pick them yet. i had high hopes for them as a team, sigh.
-
I have this feeling that it will be Lynn/Alex that takes the penalty..........any thoughts on it?? Could L/A be philiminated tonight???? *(^ :/
-
damche, Lynn/Alex were right up there as ones who would be likely to try to persuade other teams to quit (as well as Rob). Gotta think some more about it. But there was the comment from Phil about "every time Lynn and Alex stepped on the mat" [it was fun]. Twice doesn't seem like enough for that comment, eh?
-
Bold prediction here and I have not read a spoiler to substantiate it. Debbie & Bianca may finish last but I bet they don't get eliminated. No way they eliminate the last all-female team this early in the competition. If Debbie & Bianca finish last they make it a nonelimination leg. I guarantee it.
-
But the N/E legs are pre-determined. The producers would be liable if they manipulated the outcome by changing the placement of N/E to save a team.
-
I watched The Early Show today, hoping they would say something about TAR. One way to determine non-elimination legs was if the previews for The Early Show talked about having the eliminated team or not.
They haven't started interviewing the eliminated teams yet. I think it was several episodes of TAR6 before they had the eliminated teams on.
-
:<( tan!! so you don't think it is non elimination?? what about lynn and alex as the last to arrive?? )_^> |(
-
No .... I'm not saying that! Just saying that if they were doing the interviews, and then didn't mention it, that is a sure sign of non-elimination. But since they haven't started them yet, we can't use that to go by unfortunately! (%#
-
}} Did anyone get eyemail this week? All I got was when Sharks attack eyemail }}{
-
On the basis that Pat and Mom go two hours out of there way, they are infact 4 hours behind everyone by the time they get back to where they started driving in the wrong direction. Add that to the time it takes to get to the right place and do whatever tasks and get to the pit stop - it's a lot of time. So I think that even if the team infront of them is the one to take the four hour penalty Mom and Pat are still screwed.
-
{l{ I had it on but was not paying attention .. |( thanks banzai ]*[ The game is now locked ..win or lose I think its going to be one of the best episodes Evah ! Can't wait to see how the vidcaps and analysis fall into place . Rooting for M&G to stay in the game tonight |*|
-
We were all fooled banzai (%# ..never saw the Alex & Lynn win coming ..how about Meridith & Gretchen |#' ? They made the big boys look like idiots again . cynders if your lurking , please tell your parents that I think they are awesome }^!
-
-*^ cynders...what puddin jus said! }^! M/G Rock! (^.#
-
Of course, it all makes sense now (except for Lynn and Alex finishing the Detour and the leg first, who saw that coming?) Rob's "I'm done" and the idea that someone would try to influence other teams, we shoulda seen it coming. banzai, picking Uchenna and Joyce to come in first was oh, so close (and I think the only points I'll get in the MW game will be for them finishing the RB first). Also, we were fooled by shots of MotherBoy in the car. Sure, they were lost, but not as bad as DeBianca.
I also changed my pick from having the Yield, to neither, sigh....should have stuck with my gut.
All told, great episode. Of all the teams left, the only other team I wouldn't have been sorry to see go would have been Ray and Deana. Debbie and Bianca just didn't make an impression.
But I wonder, did they not know Rob stole their cab until seeing last night's episode? I hope someone asks that in their interviews.
-
I do not think they saw Rob take their taxi ~ not that it made a difference....ALso I am curious even with the 4 hour penalty...how far behind are the teams? it looks like they were all still close
Even though I do not think much of Deb ~ ]#* for completing that challenge do not think i could have done it!! ANd Meredith was wanting to do and then smartly decided to stop...knowing it woudl take a while for the others to finish ~ good move.
Sucks the brothers got a flat tire~ funny seeing M/G pass them since they got to the clue box at the same time. Rob adn Amber were smart to go get some rest at the hotel...
And Phil laughing with Rob about others waiting on taking the penalty. Rob knew his time penalty had started and the others had to wait for the next people to get there...say what you will Rob was smart in that move!!
-
Interesting to know that in the insider clips Pat quit the roadblock and took the four hour penalty counting on Deb & Bianca coming in late and not being able to finish before the 4hour penalty ..but when he saw how well Deb was doing with the meat Pat started eating ?? They took the four hour penalty but were allowed to go back and do the Roadblock , just doesn't sound like a very good rule to me *(^

i sure hope that puddin' did really, really, really well in mw last night. 'cause i'm going to be right at the bottom...glug, glug, glug... should have changed to deb/bianca going like i thought. just couldn't bring myself to do it. not sure i got very many questions right at all.
-
:<( My points may add up to maybe 175 without my team points ..don't know :':') I think the other teams ,hoping anyway, will not have done that well either </] *choke*cough*

I think we all did pretty well in doping out what was going to happen; the only thing that threw us was the CBS was not misleading us so much about Rob and Amber but for once giving us some really straight info. You must hand it to Rob, though, he is the first one to apply Suvrvior skills (?) you know: Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast, to the Amazing Race. He obviously knew the rules and knew just how to play them. He also now realizes that coming in first on each leg is no big deal what with all the bunching waiting for places to open, flights to leave, etc. He and Amber saw a nice three hour lead over the last place team disappear as they all waited for the 5AM opening of the car park. Things may be different next week. There seems to be quite a spread in times that the teams arrive at the pit stop from late afternoon (Lyunn and Alex; Uchenna and Joyce), early evening Rob and Amber, and later at night Meredith and Gretchen, Susan and Patrick. And from the promos we see Uchenna and Joyce doing the horse ride which sure looks like the DETOUR as Uchenna is sitting on a hay bale waiting for Joyce to complete the ride and in the background you can see that the sun is just striking the tops of the trees. Sun rise on November 25 is at 6:20AM and Sun set was at 8:25PM. One Yield has been used so that leave two more. Fast Forward may show up next week. And it is possible that after the Detour they will be given directions to fly to London which is possible directly from Mendoza or by driving to Buenos Aires first. And what a bunch of klutzes Debbie and Bianca were. The directions told them to drive up and across the Andes into Argentina and they calmly dirve along the seacoast for two hours!! before asking directions!! And they were the Spanish speakers in the race.
-
I watched the episode and have a couple of questions.
Both the Pedal and Paddle tasks went one way for 7 miles. How did they get back to their vehicles?
We had a few vidcaps of some racers with snow capped Mt. Aconcagua in the background. I don't recall seeing those scenes in the show. Did I just miss them or was there some task cut out of the show?
-
When some teams finished the rafting you could see them running to their cars waiting right there. So, I think production had the cars driven to the detour endpoint.
The first clue that teams got in Santiago actually had text thet directed them to a lake. It said
"Drive yourselves through
the Andes Mountains to
Argentina and find Parque
Provincial Aconcagua. Once
there follow the footpath to
Laguna Espero to find your
next clue."
I think that cluebox by the lake was shown in promos but we did not get to see it on the show. Also, I bet that was where the "warning Yield ahead" was given.
