"Episode 5 Previews"

Posted by magic_star on 06-11-03 at 05:56 PM
Here is the Press Release...

"A TEAM QUESTIONS THEIR RELATIONSHIP WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE RACE PIT THEM AGAINST ONE ANOTHER ON "THE AMAZING RACE 4," THURSDAY, JUNE 26


"You Are Just Deliberately Trying To Make Us Lose" – A team contemplates the status of their personal relationship, on THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, June 26 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

A series of difficult circumstances brings another couple face-to-face with the stark realization that they may be "incompatible" -- raising the stakes not only for the Race but for their entire relationship. Meanwhile, another team faces a complete breakdown and contemplates quitting amid a stream of bitter accusations of sabotage, and teams end up waist deep in a 15 foot pile of cow manure."

Sounds like Russell/Cindy could be the incompatible team. Or maybe this is the beginning of the Reichen/Chip split?


TV Guide doesn't have June 26 on their Listings yet, so no preview from them.

T-Mac hits the three! Magic Win! Magic Win!

In the seriously wild speculation department, the first could be Millie and Chuck, and the second sounds like something Tian would say.

If they are still around, I'm betting its Russell and Cindy who realize they are incompatible. Well, of course, SHE realizes what a jerk she's team up with.



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

i'm not sure that its Cindy and Russell. The way I see their relationship its already one sided to begin with. Cindy is the one with the hopes of getting together with him but I haven't seen that Russell is interested at all.

Hmmmmmmm

....perhaps the '15 foot pile of cow manure' is metaphorical??

Sounds like the India leg. Remember something about them playing with cows there.
Incompatibility could also be be Kelly and Jon. Russell and Cindy sounds more likely though.

I have a feeling Chip & Reichen will be smooching along through a few more episodes yet, before they show any 'incompatibility'. Doubt it will even happen during the race.

Given Russell's "sweetness" shown so far, I could see him saying the episode title. I could also see Kelly saying it to Jon, because if their relationship is the one on the rocks, he could be trying to give her an excuse to break off the engagement.

But since we've heard that Reichen and Chip may not be together anymore, I'm keeping them open as a possibility. Still, I could see them considering quitting as a result of the sabotage accusations. We were shown Reichen's comments about originally wanting to play the game with integrity, but changing their strategy after the airport incident. They could fit as perceived saboteurs.

I agree with everyone that the relationship statues is Cindy and Russel. However, I think the sabatoge team may be Reichen and Chip. Monica/Sheree have already given them the word that the other teams are trying to get them eliminated. However, I highly doubt that they will give up.

I could see Monica and Sharee - the prissy NFL wives and the ones who don't need the money - being most likely to get "grossed out" and want to quit.

As for the couple coming face-to-face with the realization they may be incompatable...

-Russel/Cindy - NO because a) I think they'll be gone very soon, and b) Russel doesn't think they are compatable anyway

-Millie/Chuck - MAYBE. We have gotten a lot of face time with these two, but it has been basically a given that they are very much in love.

-Reichen/Chip - MAYBE. We know they're broken up now. BUT I don't think the producers who signed them up to promote gayness are going to show this relationship weakening in any way.

-Jon/Kelly - MOST LIEKLY. Two self-absorbed egomaniacs, engaged with him being an asswipe and her being a #####. I'm swinging this way.

There's a chance the contemplating quiting team could be Steve/Dave. They sort of hinted at quitting in the train station last episode.

A series of difficult circumstances brings another couple face-to-face with the stark realization that they may be "incompatible" -- raising the stakes not only for the Race but for their entire relationship.

Millie & Chuck have been together for so long, that it would surprise me if they suddenly come to the realization that they are "incompatible." They've been working fairly well together as a team, and have been shown as supportive of each other. Jon and Kelly on the other hand - she called him "retarded" on tonight's episode (earning her my lasting disapproval), she blamed him entirely for the mix up over the tags at the horse/cart thingy, and they generally don't listen at all well to each other or act cohesively as a team. So I think it's Jon and Kelly.

Meanwhile, another team faces a complete breakdown and contemplates quitting amid a stream of bitter accusations of sabotage Well, the only ones that fit the complete breakdown in my mind are the ATC - and the stream of bitter accusations of sabotage? I've got to replay the preview where Steve says to Tian - "watch your tire" or words to that effect. It sounded more like a warning, not a threat to me. But maybe a tire does blow out and Tian accuses them of sabotage? She's pretty intense, could see her doing that.

Topaz that senario could work, especially given the knee problem on this team as well. So I could see them throwing in the towel because of pain and accusations.

"You Are Just Deliberately Trying To Make Us Lose" – A team contemplates the status of their personal relationship....

I think Kelly could say this, maybe Josh (if his Dad makes a big blunder), or Tian and Jaree because they are just NOT getting along.

A series of difficult circumstances brings another couple face-to-face with the stark realization that they may be "incompatible" -- raising the stakes not only for the Race but for their entire relationship.

This could very well be Kelly/Jon (they could be discussing the same scenario as with the title) or MAYBE Millie/Chuck.

Meanwhile, another team faces a complete breakdown and contemplates quitting amid a stream of bitter accusations of sabotage...

Well, Tian and Jaree skipped to the front of the line along with Reichen and Chip... so could be either one of these teams. However, I think R/C won't quit.

I can see Tian saying deliberately trying to make lose to Jaree since she is always lagging behind. (Even behind Monica and Sharee!)

We know Millie/Chuck will have problems during the race, so you have to go with them. (However, note that they went to the premiere party together--although no ring on Millie's finger)

from my point of view, i can see kelly barking off to jon about making them deliberately lose ( it's been happening for some time now)

then i can see tian and jaree giving up cause they always had low-esteem (remember the time in the train with kelly and jon ?)however, i strongly doubt that coz tian always pushes her way through and finally making everthing alright again.

btw...i'm rootng for tian and jaree.

who better than tian and jaree would you like to see in a 15 foot pile of cow manure?

"RE: Episode 5 Previews"

Given what we know from EP4 and the EP5 previews we can better assess the press release.
1."You Are Just Deliberately Trying To Make Us Lose" – A team contemplates the status of their personal relationship
Tian and Jaree:-shown to us in the EP 5 preview

2. "A series of difficult circumstances brings another couple face-to-face with the stark realization that they may be "incompatible" -- raising the stakes not only for the Race but for their entire relationship".
My guess is Kelly and Jon, secondarily Millie and Chuck or Chip and Reichen. K/J have been fighting alot.

3. "Meanwhile, another team faces a complete breakdown and contemplates quitting amid a stream of bitter accusations of sabotage"
I think I see Reichen and Chip in this scenario. They do seem to care what the other teams think, or they wouldnt have moved to the back of the line, and I personally think that they are getting a bum deal.


"RE: Episode 5 Previews"
Posted by cyclehausen on 06-20-03 at 00:46 AM
The CBS website confirms that T/J are the ones thinking of quitting.

So who is the incompatability, and who is the "deliberately trying to make us lose?"

Well - Mon/Sher, Jon/Al, and Steve/Dave - we have no reason to believe there is any kind of friction at all among these teams.

T/J are out, because they are the possible quitters.

So, we're left with:

Reichen/Chip - maybe. But I don't think Reality TV's first married gay couple is going to be edited in any way but mutually supportive.

The Goat Boys - maybe. They've been so UTR, nothing would surprise me now.

Jon/Kelly - must be one or the other. I'm thinking the "deliberately trying to make us lose"

Millie/Chuck - we've gotten hints of tension and incompatability. I think Millie may get too tense for Chuckie.

The wording is kind of weird but I don't necessarily believe (even though it says "another" twice) that the title quote is a different team then the contemplating quitting team. I can see Jaree saying to Tian (I think) You are deliberately trying to make us lose...... and being the team contemplating quitting even though it says "another" Don't forget they state the title then move to Another team and then Another team.

I think they are both the Models right now...

I checked the cbs site this morning. Here is what I found

*Amid a stream of bitter accusations of sabotage, Tian & Jaree face a complete breakdown and contemplate quitting.

--we had already pretty much figured this out

*A series of difficult circumstances forces another couple to face the possibility that they may be incompatible, raising the stakes not only for the Race, but for their entire relationship.

--My thought is Kelly and Jon. Millie and Chuck have already been talking about their issues and the stakes are much higher for Kelly and Jon since they are already engaged.

*A 15-foot pile of cow manure plunges Teams waist-deep in excrement!

--No real information here.

*Desperate to make a flight, two Teams have only one hour to drive between airports. When they hit traffic, their plans, and possibly their future in the Race, hit a brick wall.

--This must be London. Two major airports, not that far from each other and connections between the two are common, especially when flying international.

It can also be Paris, such as taking a flight from Avignon or Marseille to Paris' Orly airport and then driving to Paris' Charles de Gaulle for the flight to Amsterdam...Some teams may also opt to go to Nice which has several flights to Amsterdam per day.
