Breaking a big piece of bamboo?

Maybe they are trying to crush something with the big bamboo.

Isn't Charla's outfit different? Maybe they do both tower tasks.

Maybe they do both?!


It looks like she could have just placed that blue thing over the yellow thing!

and yay, the highest jump ever on TAR?! Finally, a decent nerve racking RB, a shock yield, what more could I ask for?

I still can't believe that this probably won't be a TBC. If it weren't for that stupid D/O confessional I would bet they were decoy, and just running along with the racers in Guam.

Here's the link to all the tower adventures in case you missed it before--there are videos and everything.

In addition to the skywalk there are two other options for bungy type things:

One is called SkyJump and one is Bungy. Both dress in the blue outfit while the Skywalk is in the orange.

We're both nuts! :lol:

I was thinking more of making a mold out of plaster of paris:

Go to the link for the rest....

For your afternoon delight we have Arts and Crafts 101!

FWIW I'd much rather it be Cookies too! Maybe that's why E/D are actually smiling?!

TEAMS--as in both members?? Could this be yet another task?

Teams (both members) have to do the SkyJump and one does the SkyWalk =Task/Detour+Roadblock (doubt this) OR one team member does both the Skywalk and the SkyJump=Roadblock??

Okay--Roadblock for sure then.

Maybe they have to do all the tasks at that level of the tower--Sky walk+jump+bungy??!!

And re glass floors--the CNN Tower in Toronto has one that totally freaked me out! I was absolutely determined that I could walk out on it with no problem--but my mind had other ideas and froze me in place! I finally did it by walking onto it backwards!  :rotf:

 :-\  I agree, not very clean.  Could the sacks behind C/M be rice?  Maybe this is a rice wine brewery/distillery, and they are making the mash.  Don't have to be too clean as the alcohol will kill any germs.  Just thinking outside the box.  Maybe that's why the BQ's are smiling.   ;)   B:)   :groan:

This HAS to be the TBC leg because it wouldn't make any sense of doing the TBC the finale, with a stop on hawaii. The fianle is one hour long so the editors wouldn't make a TBC leg only one hour (half hour one leg and half hour the other)
So:
Hong Kong>>>Macau - TBC
Macau>>>Guam - Elimination
Guam>>>Hawaii>>>San Francisco
This makes more sense than having Guam>>>Hawaii with a pit stop on hawaii

Don't see how this ep can be TBC; if it were then EDee would have to win the next leg or beat the Chas by 30 minutes.  TAR has never had a team "marked for elimination" carried through two eps.  If poor EDee have to carry the threat of Philimination through two legs (Macao and Guam) they certainly are going to be under a lot of stress, more so than usual.

I am of the opinion that this leg is elimination no. 8 and that the Chas go on to Guam as decoy team.  We have had three final teams in the final two eps on several early occasions.

Just me thinking out loud.
