The 500 foot rappel is off of the Edificio Copan in Sao Paulo.

comfirmation: it's the Copan building alright. What's the Sitio Bela Vista?

[woden]

Here's some info -- if that fuel task was legit, maybe this is where they do it?

Looks like they do some stuff with coffee...

I don't know how to get GE locator links.

Find a particular entry in the "Places" column on the left side. Right-click the entry and choose Save As. You should see a Save dialog allowing you to save as a KMZ file. Thanks to Rob, we can now attach these just like photos.

[Slowhatch]

There are apparently a bunch of Bela Vista farms. I found two or three here which, if the lat/long is correct, are about 70 miles from Sao Paulo (crow flight).

[woden]

I like the possiblity in Dom Vicoso based on what they do -- see last post. Here's a little episode summary conjecture:

START at Pacaembu Stadium in Sao Paulo
ROADBLOCK - rappelling down Edificio Copan in Sao Paulo
ROUTE INFO - sign up for one of three Santa Rita buses to Brotas
DETOUR - scale waterfall in Brotas OR zipline(?)
ROUTE INFO - travel to Sitio Bela Vista in Dom Vicoso
TASK - convert fuel to power VW bugs
ROUTE INFO - travel to pitstop (probably close to Dom Vicoso -- how far would they make them travel on their own gas? -- just a guess: Sao Laurenco? little resort town is the closest thing around)

[banzai]

so they planned to put the copan, waterfall, and the farm tasks in episode 1 but there's not enough time. So they changed the stadium reststop into a pitstop midway. And this is where the tar detectives miscalculated. So in tar10, we have to watch out for something like this.

[cinni]

at least with fran shown as struggling, i'm willing to bet that she's safe next week.   

[never0102]

Do you think everyone is on the same bus??  Because i dont see it possible for the Dee's to pass up all teams and get on the same bus as the boys and hippies.

[puddin]

From the webclues , the fuel /cars are last ? Maybe they complete a task in SaoPaulo before the bus's ? I have to watch the video again ... 

The sisters are the ones with the red car , seems Joni cant shift ..they appear to be in most trouble along with Fran on the cliffs ( yeah she'll pull through ) , also Rayolanda appear in trouble at , first they cant find the Edificio Copan ? I'm pretty sure it's Ray that says it we were staring at it the whole time ?
Also from the webclue , someones battery dies on the way to the pitstop ..the video leads us to beleive its Rayolanda? Can someone that watched the video help me out ? lots of dubbing going on .

No they do the repel in Sao Paolo [i am assuming before the bus].  The Dee's are starting out in second to last, and were show having trouble in the roadblock, i just dont see how they would move that far up if it was not everyone on the same bus or teams randomly looked for bus times.

[Kogs]

remeber the key word in TAR BUNCHING

[never0102]

remeber the key word in TAR BUNCHING

I know thats what i am asking are they bunched up at the bus terminal all on same bus?

oh ok im sorry, i would assume so.

[puddin]

ok I had to watch the video ..more questions than answers 


The hippies are pushing the cream car
<< is that Monica? well whoever it is the sisters arent there yet the red car is empty  as well as he cream ?car
  red car

<< the white car is rolling along
<< Bj or Tyler red pants

<< Jeremy

<< I think this is Ray?

  <<Yolanda & Jeremy are bunched up at the taxis

[never0102]

Lets hope the sisters go, this way Double Dees can stay a extra week[they dont complain as much]

[puddin]

Oh the Dees have to stay have to stay , I think they are so sweet  ...sisters look in most trouble driving the car plus its stopped dead at one point even though the video makes you think its RaYolanda.
I just noticed that Wanda & Desiree are absent from the videos , maybe we'll get more in the commercials and I'll keep checking AOL but it doesnt look promising .

Wanda and Deseree, David and Lori, Lake and Michelle--- NOt really shown at all

Dani and Danielle, Eric Jeremy, MJO, Fran and Barry-- Shown enough not to much

BJ and Tyler, Raylonda, Sisters-- Shown alot

That would be my view of the preview.

[Boingo]

Between the lack of fuel (Tyler & BJ) and a dead battery, the next episode looks to be an exercise in futility.  This episode has Trabant redux written all over it.  Cue the circus clown car music.  Anyone else here really think that the racers can get alcohol (ethanol) from sugar cane squeezins immediately.   

Maybe they will get an equivalent gallon of fuel for every gallon of sugar cane squeezins.  I'm sure someone knows how long it takes to distill 86 octane fuel from sugar cane.         :-\

[puddin]

Something tells me Lori & David will do great with the ethanol ( insert cool Nerd icon her   )

[Chateau d If]

I'm a nerd.  We write:    etOH

[puddin]

I guess I'm a nerd too Chateau
