"TAR5 Ep5 Hawkeye 10 - "Walk (Trip, Fall, Stumble......) Like an Egyptian""
Posted by jack_bauer on 08-04-04 at 05:16 AM
Hey everybody - Hope that I have gotten the true spirit of the Hawkeye 10, and that these questions are sufficiently "wide open" to allow for a plethora of funny replies......

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

Thanks for your patience everyone!

No idea, but I'll bet they still beat last year's third place team home.

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the
real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

There wasn't a single piece of Dallas Cowboys merchandise being worn by anyone. Traitors! (By the way, did you know that it was a Texan who actually invented pizza?)

2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy
on?

Genesis. To the best of Colin's recollection, it only took him four days to create the world.

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find
entertaining?

Occupy precious screen time by sitting still in a cab and refusing to move, with another team on standby to scream at them. But that's never, ever going to happen, because C&M are reasonable, understanding people and would never, ever take up part of an episode with a silly argument. (sigh) I'm just not going to be very entertained this year.

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

From the home office in Dread Ryleh, it's Estee's Top Ten List of Things The Racers Could Have Done Instead Of Sitting Around And Waiting For The Flight!

10. Construct a shrine to their beloved in an unused portion of the terminal while surviving on free meals handed out by the airport staff and coins returned from the luggage cart racks, all the time dodging around the director of airport security -- what do you mean, it's been done?

9. 'Okay, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie pop?'

8. Call Kyan Douglas in as an emergency consultant for Brandon's hair.

7. Go out to the hangar and make sure the plane isn't being fueled up with diesel.

6. It's time to play 'Get Mirna to speak the local languages!'
'Mirna, say 'We're going to finish last in Russian.'
'Doomedski.'

5. Did anyone remember to declare Nicole as carry-on luggage?

4. 'I've never seen anyone sew a quilt out of tourist information pamphlets before.'

3. 'It's an airport. You always get strip clubs around an airport.'

2. Two words: Ro-Sho-Bo tournament!

And the #1 thing the teams could have done...

1. 'You grab Marshall's arms while I shove his head into the X-ray machine. We're going to settle this once and for all!'

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body,"
but what do you suppose was inside it?

You always wondered how Phil always manages to beat the teams to the Pit Stops. Now you know.

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of
the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

If I was a Christian who'd been demonstrating an extreme amount of difference between my beliefs and my actual actions, I'd be really careful about descending underground into a hot place, too.

7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t
make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run
across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were
they really able to do this, or were the editors
misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

You mean you didn't hear the 'Nyah-dant-dant-dant-DANT-dant-dant' being repeated endlessly over the soundtrack? It only looked like they were moving in slow motion! (Although honestly, you'd think there would be better things to do with bionics than participate in this race.)

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks
and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue
this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?

On the Osama Bin Laden search & recovery team.

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?

The one where she stepped onto the mat and didn't find herself in last place.

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen
will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their
pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

Accuracy counts, so I went to the CBS TAR website and got the inventory list.

1. $82 US (after applicable currency conversions).
2. Two official GLA membership cards.
3. Forty-eight assorted pictures of children, nieces, and nephews.
3. Sixteen whistles (confiscated from Charla earlier in the race.)
4. One pre-publication copy of 'How To Ruin People's Reality Show Games And Look Good Doing It', written by Rob Cesterino.
5. Micro emergency medical kit.
6. Micro emergency poison blowdart.
7. Jim's hopes, dreams, and currency conversion chart.
8. Nude photo of Phil. (This was immediately sold to Mirna for all of her leftover funds, getting the BMs back on their financial feet for the next leg.)

the old testament, the new testament and everything in between.

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?
Charla could beat the crap out of wimpy Mirna.

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead? Knitting bootiews and drikin hot cocoa

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it? Nothing Colin and Christie are really week

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?Brandon used to be an altar boy

7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?Mirna was too scared to actually look at her watch so they guesstimated wrong. They actually had three hours.

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?right off my tv screen thankfully

1) One of the people on the train was actually a person who visited their restaurant once and couldn't seem to order a plain pizza.

2)Colin is not aware of how his world was created, and that there are more energetic people than him.

3)Charla and Mirna could try learning to speak a language that is compatible with the country. (I don't think perfecto is Egyptian)

4)The teams bickered over who would get on the flight to Cairo first.

5)Holly's manekin(BB5) was inside the sarcophagus.

6)He was afraid of freefalls. This was caused when he was pushed into a pool from a high diving board. He retained his looks, fortunately.

7)We were misled by the running for the camels. Actually, the times on the watches of the camel people were tampered with by Flo so she could claim herself as The Most Annoying Person In All of Egypt (after she had won similar titles for all countries alphabetically above Egypt).

8)Kami and Karli will wind up in Vietnam, where they will believe that all the Red and Yellow flags there are clues.

9)She did not scream out the next major city destination.

10)Leftover chocolate from Bariloche was found in their pockets to keep as a snack, but it was partially melted.

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

No one wanted to try their pepperoni.


2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?

Gee, could you mean The Good Samaritan?

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?

Phil. No later than Episode 11.


4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

Dwarf-tossing.


5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?

David and Jeff.


6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

He fears tight, damp dark spaces. Sorta like Chuck, last year's virgin. Or perhaps he's got a recurring nightmare about that male model orgy he was at last month.


7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

It's true, Mirna can run the two-minute mile if you put "Hump," "Ride" and "Phil" in one sentence.

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?

Another sarcophagus.


9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?

She managed to leave the airport quietly.


10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

Janet Jackson-style nipple clips.


These reality show contestants need a reality check!

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

Your typical Russian pizza is topped with fish and onions. You do the math.

2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?

He thought the Israelites used a Fast Forward to get across the Red Sea.

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should "do a dance, entertain us while we wait." What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?

React to being told, 'no, we will not hold up the boat/plane/train for you.'

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

For half of them, it was about the time that their bodies finished digesting all that caviar, so they were preoccupied. The rest of them spent the interim taking turns trying on Kim's hair curlers.

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?

The Yield, being given the decent burial as a concept that it deserves.

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was "afraid of the crevasses." What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

Brandon was simply worried that Myrna might have done the roadblock and might still be down there. "The Crevasses" is Brandon's name for what he saw when he once inadvertently looked directly into Myrna's eyes. A man with a lesser soul might have been immediately destroyed by the experience, but even for Brandon it's not something he wants to risk repeating.

7. At the "Hump & Ride" Detour (I swear, you can't make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

To outward appearances, it happened as it appeared, but what we didn't see was one of the producers, disguised as a caravan rider, telling them, "if you set your watches back five, er, make it ten minutes, we'll give you the money we take from the last place team."

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a "We'll just wander around and hope we find it" attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?

On the next U.N. weapons inspection team.

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna's actions this episode was the least expected?

When she actually managed to stay quiet long enough to sneak away from the other teams in Frankfurt.

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

Their mascots for the race, a matching pair of ten-pound bowling balls. Why do you think they've been lagging behind the pack so much?


Also, one of the $1 bills they handed over was signed, "We still love ya, Phil -- Andre and Damon"

All the Russians they met had watched a boot-leg copy of TAR5, giving them a preview of Team D'Ough.

He thinks the Loaves and Fishes story actually just used three fish(eggs).

Writing the book "1001 uses for Caviar".

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?
That invitation he got as an 11-year-old to Neverland.

7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?
The producers held the horses after Charla promised never to use her whistle again.

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?
They'll be the new twins to show up in the Big Brother house.

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?
Pleading with Charla to "hurry up" (oh wait, she did that) ... Using that annoying voice to sweet-talk some unfortunate native (oh wait, she did that) ... making some innane comment about Team D'Ough (oh wait, she did that) ...

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?
Several of those bowlers' rosin bags, stinky bowlers' socks, and an extra 6-pin, just in case.

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

None of the Russians were the famed gorgeous mail order brides who just can't wait to hook up with fat American men.

2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?

The real question is: Which Biblical stories might Colin actually know?!

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?

Charla could stitch Mirna's mouth shut with the sewing travel kit she keeps in her fanny pack.

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

They were too busy mocking Kim's hair curlers and feeling superior to Charla and Mirna.

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?

Joyce's caviar preserved corpse

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

I can't think of any answers that would qualify for the PG-13 rating of this board.

7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

Charla and Mirna really did run the distance in 3 minutes. They are both on the roster for the US Olympic Track Team. I swear, it's true.

8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?

I expect them to knock on my door any day now.

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?

Blowing Charla's whistle rather than forcing Charla to blow it.

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

They carry nudie pictures of their husbands who happen to look a great deal like Marshall and Lance. Ewww.

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?

No one offered them free shots of vodka (outside the challenge) or cut-rate knee surgery.

2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?

He keeps telling people in an arrogant, 'Colin-is-right' voice that Judas was a guitar-wielding priest "back in the day".

3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?

I was hoping Charla would balance Mirna on her nose.

4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?

Filling out applications for Big Brother 6 - the game show where you're expected to sit around doing nothing.

5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?

Too bad it didn't get aired, but they had Uncle Cameraman inside, providing TAR with the revolutionary "sarcophagus cam"

6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?

Commitment. Oh wait, that was the other overly-Christian, virgin that was afraid of hot and tight spaces. Better change that answer to commitment.

this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?

If you really want to watch 90 minutes of Charla & Mirna Humping and Riding, you'll have to purchase the special edition TAR5 Uncensored DVD coming to CBS.com later this summer...

Big Brother 6

9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?

When she actually said she felt bad about making Charla do the challenge.

10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?

2.2 pounds of Russian caviar

What, were you late or something?

1. Marshall & Lance claim that the Russians on their train were the most miserable people in the world, perhaps because of the cold weather. What do you think was the real reason the brothers found the Russians so unpleasant?
There isn’t a pizza joint on every street corner. They KNOW that’s what keeps them so jolly and jovial.


2. Colin incorrectly thought that Jesus was the prodigal son. What other Biblical story might Colin be a little bit fuzzy on?
So, wait a minute? You’re saying that Jesus isn’t the prodigal son?


3. In St. Petersburg, at the Lufthansa office, Mirna suggested that Charla should “do a dance, entertain us while we wait.” What could Charla & Mirna do that you would find entertaining?
Actually, I’m looking forward to when they are the last place team in a non-elimination leg. They are bound to come up with a routine in Europe somewhere.


4. In Frankfurt, several teams (Brandon & Nicole, Marshall & Lance, Kami & Karli, Chip & Kim) did nothing to find a quicker flight in to Cairo. With what activities do you think they might have occupied their time instead?
Other than, respectively, shmooping, grumbling, looking into each other’s eyes to communicate wordlessly and helping virtual strangers? Looks to me like their schedules were full enough without actually doing something to improve their standings in the Race.


5. The sarcophagus that Colin & Christie carried looked like it might have been heavy. Colin referred to a "dead body," but what do you suppose was inside it?
The tent, some MRE’s, backpacks, just a whack of stuff from their camping trip beneath Tower of Cairo. The producers wanted them to know how it feels to shlep their crap around.


6. At the Roadblock, Brandon claimed that he was “afraid of the crevasses.” What do you think he meant by this, and what might have caused this fear?
He’s afraid of buttocks, and it’s a result of being a Male Model.


7. At the “Hump & Ride” Detour (I swear, you can’t make this stuff up), Charla & Mirna appeared to run across a mile of sand in only three minutes. Were they really able to do this, or were the editors misleading us? And if we were misled, what really happened?
As befits the stars of the show, their trailer hauled up, they loaded themselves and their crew on, and zipped on over. Charla is capable of many things, but the 3 minute mile just isn’t one of those things.


8. On at least two occasions (looking for the yellow rocks and looking for the clue at the corner of the pyramid), Kami & Karli seemed to approach the task with a “We’ll just wander around and hope we find it” attitude. If they continue this strategy, where do you think they will wind up?
3rd place overall. They keep stumbling into good luck, it makes sense given the season we’ve been having so far.


9. Predictably, Mirna hugged Phil again at the Pit Stop. Which of Mirna’s actions this episode was the least expected?
Um – let me think. She was patronizing toward Charla, and told her to hurry up and shrieked and blew her whistle – all that was par for a normal ep. Oh yeah, now I remember. Sneaking off to catch the earlier flight is the most unexpected thing she could have ever done. She usually wants everyone to notice how fabulous she is.


10. Because they finished last in a non-elim, Linda & Karen will begin the next leg with no money. They also were required to "Empty their pockets" and give Phil all the money they already had. Do you think there was any additional item in their pockets that Phil would have been surprised to see, and if so, what would that be?
No, I really don’t.


Thanks for your patience everyone!
