Since the Mauritius leg is coming up ..some thoughts See this is where Izabela confuses me and makes me , she doesn't mention the male/male team here so did she just confuse Mary & David with one of the Chos and maybe there were 6 teams? :IzabelaWe just got back from a holiday in Mauritius and witnessed a detour for TAR on the beach right next to our hotel around 10-11am.The location was Merville Beach Hotel which is in the North of the island.We counted 5 couples come and go within about an hour. The detour involved a paddle on a kayak. They went quite far out hence not sure what they did out at sea.We have some camcorder footage although I don't have it on my PC yet. We were told off by one of the crew for taking it but I think he was just bignoting himself.Anyway an interesting experience seeing the couples ham it up when supporting each other (or are they really that enthusiastic!?) and all the crew required to film it.There weren't too many spectators and a majority I don't think knew what the show was Mauritius was a great holiday BTW. It has a lot of resort hotels - generally getting mostly Europeans in - particularly French and English.Anyway the couples we saw were a youngish all-girl team (winning), 2nd was another young couple (a guy and girl), there was the token black couple, an asian looking couple, and a geeky looking couple.The black woman who did the kayaking was absolutely exhausted after the kayak ride and fell on her butt after getting out of it.I should clarify the above point. She really look p*ssed off and the pair of them weren't in much of a hurry - but we noticed that couples were held up for a couple of minutes and given water before running off to continue the race.But its all go go go - saw a cameraman take a pee in the sea when he had precious seconds to spare - just thru the camera to someone to hold and went in fully clothed up to his waist keeping his arms in the air so they wouldn't get wet.Helicopter overhead - it was a really busy hour or so, then they dug up the clue box and leftOver at sucks Izabela post's :Here goes:Team 1 : f/f as per videoTeam 2: m/f as per video and looks like same as kuwait carpark to meTeam 3: m/m i am 80% sure it was same guy as "audition" tapeTeam 4: m/f asian male and geeky female but not 100% sure as they were not sitting together and by geeky i mean she reminded me of lori in her stance/appearance and not playing up the the cameras as the first 3 teams. She sat on the sun bed under a tree and just waited quietly on spoke to the black female for a short time.Team 5: f/f black - personally it looked like they did not want to be there in terms of all the other teams looking so competitive.Actually we were surprised how little security they did have however judging by everone else watching around us they had no idea what was going on bar 1 couple.The roadblock happened basically next to Merville Beach Hotel which is known as one of the oldest hotels on the island. It is over an hour's drive from the airport. We were fairly sure the pitstop was after this roadblock and there are several resort style hotels near by they could have gone to. However they arrived in cars so its possible they could have driven anywhere after that. About halfway between the airport and Merville is the capital, Port Louis. Good locations here for clues/tasks etc would be Le Caudan waterfront and the markets which are close to each other.and then Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyway...Iza...about the Asian M/F team, the M/M team, and the African-American F/F team...how far behind the caucasian F/F and M/F teams were they? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Don't forget only the male is asian in that team and the female is what I call my token "Lori".I would give them a good 20 mins after the 3rd team which was the young m/m team.The young m/m team arrived 10-15 mins after the leading couples. This 3rd team seemed to catch up some time with this roadblock but still left 3rd.
TaRBoY! this is the fun place to be!I'm afraid that was a different beach/different task--Izabella's appears to have been cut. If you go to page one of this section, you will find a link to her video.

Anyone? I'm 100% they're NOT decoys.Look at Lyn's shirt here http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR9_Promo2/tar10/IMG_0932.jpgit's mary's/david's yellow shirt "Friends in Low Places"Why would mary/david give up their shirt for an eliminated team (suppose Lyn/Karlyn are decoys)?
