Hmm.. I don't know if anyone's pay attention to this small detail over the past 9 eposides... it just seems to me that Chris loves to add the phrase "Hey... Guys" whenever she sees another team(s); especially when Ron/Her were waiting for something.. be it @ the airport or @road block... (I swear it must be > 90% of the time).... So I am going to make a bold prediction here and said that the title is the words from Chris' mouth.... @ the exact moment where the intersection ( I am also assuming there's an intersection next leg) sign appears...

I think it's a race for the top 3 teams to get to the intersection and somehow I just think Nate/Jen went with Nick/Don (or other way around) to do the intersection, leaving Chris/Ron behind waiting for TK/Rachel, who actually caught up with all the teams in Taipei and may be even @ the intersection, but has to perform a Speed Bump before taking the intersection with Ron/Chris... so this has costs Chris/Ron to be quite upset about the situation n eventually said "Sorry, Guys, I am not happy to see you guys"...

This also explains another theory whereby Chris/Ron are eliminated in this leg as they lost to TK/Rachel in a race to the pitstop..... :wohoo:

hmm correct me if I am wrong.... :waves:

I'm not entirely sure if its an intersection though. Initially I thought it might be, but then again, from the past 2 seasons, intersections were performed by the final 6 teams. And there was the fast forward awards for the intersections. (Fast forward taken in the intersection leg: Uchenna & Joyce + Oswald & Danny <ALL STARS> and Tyler & James + Rob & Kimberly <Season 10)

For some reason, I think that is what Jen would say. I don't think Chris would be that "rude" to the other racers and tell that to them straight to their faces :P

Hmm..I understand your theory with Jen's being emotional and loves to bicker so she's the prime suspect in saying this, however, I just got a hinch that somehow it's Chris saying this title in a nicer way........ I think she has used this tone before in the race.... if u know what I mean???? JUst try and imagine she said "Sorry... Guys" in the same way as she said "Hey ... guys" during the race then you would know what I am talking about....

There's no need to correct you, Red Devils. I think you have called the second paragraph(beginning with "I think it's a race")  correctly. That makes your hypotheses in the first paragraph also correct.

Really apskip?????? I just have this hinch that Somehow Jen wouldn't said something like "Sorry.. Guys" if she's not happy to see another team (I mean take a look at what she said in the preview when she gets upset or even take a moment to look back at what she said to Nate when she was  :groan: "push" B:) B:) B:) into the taxi)...... so the next logical person for me would be Chris/Rachel (unlikely) since I can't see the guys saying this .....

maybe something happened at the intersection and TK doesn't work fast enough in Jen's minds, hence her blood being filled with hatred and wanting to pull the dreads out
or 3 teams got to the intersection at the same time and TK and Rachel pick a different team..

Maybe Jen is mad, if its her for the title that is, that Rachel & TK had to do the speed bump, and they caught up to her & Nate, like the Goths did now giving TK & Rachel  the Goth like "witch powers"?

The intersection, if it happens at all, probably happens right at or after Taipei 101.  That sighting places a time constraint that is in opposition to expected flight arrival times (esp for TK & Rachel).

So, I'm just thinking that there would not be time to have the Intersection board arranged at some other cluebox prior to the 101.

The mystery to resolve is how TK & Rachel manage to get to Taiwan customs at the same time as the other teams.  Maybe there is the Asian equivalent of Polish Air and the flights will be discovered which make it possible after all.  That and a truncated Pit Stop would do it.

The fact that Jenn & Nate seemed to have to wait for the next team to arrive may have been a production-imposed edict in order to get side-by-side competing team shots.  Maybe a time credit or penalty was effected by this mechanism?   :umn:

I think the title quote goes to Christina.  Red Devils has the Christina way of speaking down pat.  So, if the Intersection is after Taipei 101 then they loose the footrace with TK & Rachel.  And if the Intersection is at Taipei 101, Ron & Christina could be eliminated another way after being Intersected with Don & Nick.

Remember how Dustin & Kandice tried to hide for a while from Charla & Myrna?   :lol3:

Look at one of Nick and Don's screenshots for the preview of the next episode. What time do you think it is? They couldnt have arrived late could they?

Darkness?  How could it be dark?

I'm starting to wonder if the Taiwan spoiler got the date wrong.  Could it have been Saturday July 28 when they were seen at Taipei 101?

If it was, that would ease up a lot of inconsistencies.    :(

No, his friend clearly said it was on Friday because that is the only day he had to shop...

Could the dark be leaving for the airport? Since TPTB clearly have no respect for the 12 hour Pitstop anymore...

If this is a intersectiom,maybe Ron & Chris is ahead of the two couples

and cooperate with Nick & Don. And that's why Koqs' friend didn't see

the Asian team , is that possible?



BTW , I'm also a Taiwanese and a huge fan of Amazing Race. I can't wait

to watch the next episode!!
Welcome, ChunHan! Nice to see my fellow Taiwanese here.  :waves: :waves:

Without Chateau's expertise, but based on a sunset time of 7:06, then it looks like the teams arrive at the pitstop something like this:

Ron and Chris - 6:45PM
Nathan and Jenn - 7:00PM
Don and Nick - 8:00PM
Tk and Rachel - 11:00PM

If they have only the usual 12 hour pit stop, the teams would be leaving in daylight the next morning.  Where is the shot of Don and Nick (with blue tee shirt seen in other shots in Taiwan) at night from?

DID they manage to get there WITH other teams? How do we know that? Could they still be hours behind?  My brain hurts today! :lol: 

Or is this just a we know they need to castch up hopeful kind of comment --not that they DID show us that they caught up?

Well...

just looking at Rachel's smile and tiny little clapping hands makes me think they see other teams ahead in the customs line.   :tup:

That and the Taiwan spoiler placing them with Jenn & Nate at Taipei 101 a few minutes later.

Maybe Jenn has trouble in the customs due to the extra head she carries around for the occasions that the one on her shoulder explodes.  (complete rip off of some one else's post in another forum)   ;)

About the intersection.  i think the show realized after what a disaster it was last year it should have been taken it.  It turned into a three hour yield for the Beauty Queens.  It would also seem very unfair to have a intersection basically saving TK and Rachel, but then again they did put two non eliminations right after each other [giving Danielle and Eric and free pass].

Looks like the other person/woman is doing the driving. And they have on a diving mask of some sort. Maybe this is more of an escape underwater task than a how to drive a jeep obstacle training course?  What to do if you are drowning? I dunno...

I think they are goggles peach, I can't see someone acutually drowning in that shallow water.
