Please keep all sigpic-free discussion of tonight's episode on this thread until the following three things happen:

1. The West Coast gets to see the show.
2. Our first major group of spoilers finally runs out.
3. Mirna shuts up.

Okay, maybe not #3.

You got me all excited. For a brief moment I was living in hope that Mirna really was shutting up this episode. If only because Charla stuffed a ball gag in her mouth.

Usually it is 12 or 36 hours. I don't recall who got in during daylight/night time last week.

It's an old summary reference back to TAR5 and Colin's taxi breakdown. Or breakdown while refusing to pay for the taxi. One of those.

What's the obsession with defensive structures this year? Are they looking for something Mirna can't escape from or something Colin can't invade?
"RE: From 'Fore!' to 'Fort!'"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 04-08-07 at 08:06 PM
I think they want structures heavy/tough enough to withstand the vibrations caused by their voices.

Interesting they were given the choice of any transportation to get to the caves.

CM leaves first flight. Connects throu Warsaw and Vienna.
UJ leave second have 1 hour connection in Frankfurt which lands 10 minutes late
DK/ED/DO leave third and connect through Paris.
"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"

Uchenna and Joyce miss the connection. Looks like they will have a long delay.

Gotta give Eric some credit. He wished U/J good luck when he heard that their connect time was so close.

They have to pick the best train, best bus to help them. C/M have talked to locals and manage to chase the leaving bus down as it's driving away.
"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:06 PM
Charla and Nameless land first.
The trio of teams land second.

They have to figure out the train and bus to get to the caves.

Charla and Nameless have to run after one of the buses.

Colour me surprised. C/the other one choose not to yield anyone.

Taks: Make batik cloth, or pick through hundreds of boxes of cookies to find a single cookie with a licorice center.

NOTE: That's hundreds of BOXES of cookies. Only ONE cookie, somewhere in ONE of the boxes has the center they seek.

C/HER choose to do cookies.

"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by vince3 on 04-08-07 at 08:09 PM
Now we've seen the steps that the spoiler was at.....

Caution! Yield Ahead!

Will Schmirna hit anyone with the Yield?

"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:10 PM
They don't yield because the "don't want to win by holding someone back"

Detour Artistic Expression or Cookie confection.

"Wait a Minute."
Posted by vince3 on 04-08-07 at 08:13 PM
Didn't Phil say "Travel by foot" to get to the Cookie part of the Detour?

I think he did, so maybe Schmirna's gonna get delayed......

Oswald/Danny are the 2nd to the Cave Clue

Beauty Queens are 3rd.....

"RE: Wait a Minute."
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:14 PM
D/K get to the clue second, and yield Eric and Danielle.
"Incoming!"

Eric/Danielle are slowly seething and mocking the BQs while the sand runs through the hourglass (and so goes the Days of Our Lives....)
"RE: Incoming!"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:22 PM
I mean it isn't like it there could be any strategy reason at all to do it.

They only did it because they were mean.

"RE: Incoming!"
Posted by coolflowerpowerman on 04-09-07 at 01:41 AM
They had no idea where Uchenna/Joyce were, as far as they knew they were fighting to avoid elimination, and deemed Eric/Danielle the strongest competition.
"RE: Incoming!"
Posted by Snidget on 04-09-07 at 06:42 AM
Yep, (I forgot the sarcasm tags above)

It just gets me that any team that is yielded never seems to think it could be done because of good race related reasons.

It usually isn't personal (other than the you yielded us first so we are getting revenge)

It was a pretty logical move to me.

"RE: Wait a Minute."
Posted by davwav02 on 04-08-07 at 08:37 PM
Yes. The Tivo replay clearly says they should travel by foot. It would be hilarious if they got penalized long enough for the other two teams to pass them.
"RE: Wait a Minute."
Posted by davwav02 on 04-08-07 at 08:39 PM
No Penalty. What a load of crap!
"RE: Wait a Minute."
Posted by vince3 on 04-08-07 at 08:49 PM
Maybe they'll have a later start next week due to penalties.......?
"RE: Wait a Minute."
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:51 PM
From the interviews they say that is often what happens, they get a delayed start.
"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:13 PM
The trio all go different ways to the Batu Caves.

D/O get to the caves first.
D/K get there second.

"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:16 PM
C/M are not having luck with the cookies.

D/K do the artistic expression detour.

D/P get to the Detour clue second. They are going to the cookies.

"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:17 PM
Why did they yield us?

Because they are Dirty Pirate Hookers.

Posted by Estee on 04-08-07 at 08:19 PM
In other news, Mirna's ego is now carrying a six-satellite payload after that last boost.

Do they have to bite into the cookies? It looks like breaking them in half would be a lot faster.

"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Snidget on 04-08-07 at 08:22 PM
Sounds like from D/O's arguement they have to bite them, not break them.
"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 04-08-07 at 08:23 PM
D&O seem to be breaking down in the heat.
"RE: TAR-Stars Episode #9 East Coast Spoiler/Update Thread"
Posted by mysticwolf on 04-08-07 at 08:23 PM
No! You DO have to bite every cookie in the box. Danny thinks Oswald is pissed now? Wait until he realizes his error.
"Make that a Double Wait a Minute....."
Posted by vince3 on 04-08-07 at 08:23 PM
Schmirna takes a taxi to the Artistic Impressions part of the Detuor. Wasn't that part also "Travel by foot" too? The penalties for Schmirna might be really adding up today......

U/C finally reach Kuala Lampur. They don't have to do the tasks and are eliminated from the race.

I wish if TAR is going to do product placement that they showed pictures.

I had to do a google image search to figure out what they won.

For that matter I would had like to see what models of catamarans C&M won.

"RE: "Paper lama!""
Posted by cahaya on 04-08-07 at 08:52 PM
Why what? Why Malaysians keep newspapers? Considering Malaysians don't read much, maybe for cat litter. (Yup, they tended to pile up in my house, too, until we'd hear the 'paper lama' horn toot on a Saturday morning.

As an aside, actually the paper collectors do pay for the papers they collect, to the tune of about RM$1 (or 25 U.S. cents) for every hand-measure. The teams thus collected about US$2.00 worth of papers.

They got the Express Clue

It's an Elimination Pit Stop!

*Does the calendar math*

There now *has* to be a Superleg coming up! If not, we'd have to have back to back non elimination's and with the MFE, that's not possible......... *Thinks some more* 4 episodes remain, so either a Non-Elim Superleg starts next week, an Elim Superleg starts in two weeks, or else the Final Leg is a Superleg..........
