"RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" LAST EDITED ON 04-27-05 AT 00:17 AM (EST) Now there is an original challenge! Great idea for one to drive a traditional London bus -- too bad they couldn't do it through downtown London in the middle of rush hour... I notice that Gretchen is wearing something that Joyce would wear -- that's probably where she got these clothes from. The boats look like it's one of the detour choices as we don't see Romber or Ron/Kelly there, and the buses are the roadblock as all four teams are seen. Edited as TJ had inserted the audio confirming the detour and roadblock while I was composing my message. Scratch and sniff "Tsk, tsk. Pepe's messing with the newbies again." Spidey, 3/30/05   Top

LAST EDITED ON 04-27-05 AT 10:56 AM (EST) Row boats in vidcaps #1-6 are most likely rental boats at The Serpentine in London's Hyde Park. ...pix of Hyde Park boat on right is similar...   Top

"Bus Roadblock is near Millenium Dome, London" LAST EDITED ON 04-27-05 AT 02:18 AM (EST) Structure behind Gretchen in vidcap #16 is the Millenium Dome in London. Bus roadblock is in the parking lot next to dome. Hers's a map of central London showing Millenium Dome on east side, and Hyde Park (not shown), way to the west, past Houses of Parliament.   Top

That means, if I'm not mistaken, he has done 6 of them. So Amber has to do the nest two. I think shes up for it, she must be pretty tough if she won survivor, right?   Top

Neobie 888 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 04-27-05, 10:11 AM (EST) 5. "RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" Add that to the 'greeter' in the Opening Sequence on the bridge in front of the Houses of Parliament, and we basically have the route drawn out for us. Usually, the clips in the Opening Sequence that are not related the race actually happen in real life (Indian cobra, which we saw today). A town-crier in downtown London? Not so much. Although this would be a dead giveaway for spoilers... I'm led to believe that someone will be Yielded next week. The CBS website screams 'Who will be Yielded?' They've always been very careful with words, replacing 'Who will be eliminated tonight?' with 'Who will be eliminated next?' on non-elimination episodes in the early seasons.   Top

Gingerman28 380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-27-05, 11:19 AM (EST) 6. "RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" LAST EDITED ON 04-27-05 AT 11:29 AM (EST) Welcome to Londontown!! Looks like teams arrived around noontime at pit stop in Istanbul (sun in their faces from the South); which means that teams will be leaving in the early morning again (Hope Ron and Kelly enjoy their suite in the Four Seasons but remember to set their alarms!- or will they be having too much fun to sleep?) Several flight possibliites from Istanbul to London: KLM LV 5:55AM, AR 10:50AM; LH LV 5:45AM AR 10:15AM; BA LV 8:55AM AR 11:05AM; or Turkish Airlives LV 8:30AM AR 10:30AM Sunrise in mid-December is at 7:57AM and Sunset is at 3:51PM (We're far north and it is Winter: Av High 46, AV Low 34) So if the team are arriving in mid-morning they probably are doing the ROADBLOCK at the end of the day since we see the sun setting and stadium lights being turned on. Task seems to be to perform a standard bus driver's licensing test. (Note bobby in yellow jacket behind one bus). Team members: Rob, Kelly, Meredith and Joyce, must drive big, red double-decker bus (on the way out by the way being replaced by other buses) All four seem to have real trouble backing the bus up through the pylons on the parking lot. It looks from the amount of daylight showing that R/A and R/K are doing the task before U/J and M/G. One of these teams may have been YIELDED. Don't see anyone yielding M/G so it looks like R/A yielded U/J (just a guess at this point in time.) Rob really looks frustrated and gets up so fast from the driver's seat (Pix 10 and ll) that the poor soundman behind him doesn't have time to duck. (The producers are very careful not to show production types near or behind the teams members, but in this case with all players wired with wireless mikes and the need to have a soundperson nearby to receive signals the soundperson had to be in the bus with Rob) DETOUR (or at least one part of the Detour) envolves a task of moving a number of blue rowboats from the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park (central London) up a hill to a parking area. It looks like they have to move at least four boats from the lake. While we only see M/G doing this task, U/J looks like they have completed stacking their four boats (nos: 14, 24, 19, and X) and Uchenna is seen helping M/G move their fourth boat (no. 6) up the hill and then leaves them on their own to stack it onto nos. xx, 8, and 24. (And they seem to be having a lot of trouble moving that boat onto their pile.) R/K and R/A may be off doing the other Detour Task or have not arrived at the Serepentine Lake site yet.   Top

choochoo 553 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-27-05, 12:01 PM (EST) 7. "Ep. 11 preview is up on CBS web site" LAST EDITED ON 04-27-05 AT 12:52 PM (EST) Latest CBS preview of Episode 11 is up on CBS web site. Lots of additional stuff. Looks like Gretchen/Meredith (and R/K & U/J) have to ride on the London Eye (ferris wheel) to find (see) their next clue. Note: once on the wheel it takes 30 mintes for one revolution. This could cause bunching. Uchenna/Joyce don't know a famous Beatles song. Preview shows people crossing Abbey Road (location for famous Beatles album cover, near Abbey Road Studios). Looks like when the teams arrive at Heathrow, they need to take the express airport train to Paddington Station. Then it's just a quick walk to Hyde Park. Probably faster than by taxi. Edited to add: Interactive map of London.   Top

Voltec 73 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 05-03-05, 05:39 AM (EST) 103. "RE: Ep. 11 preview is up on CBS web site" LAST EDITED ON 05-03-05 AT 05:40 AM (EST) "Looks like Gretchen/Meredith (and R/K & U/J) have to ride on the London Eye (ferris wheel) to find (see) their next clue. Note: once on the wheel it takes 30 mintes for one revolution. This could cause bunching." ====== You are right that it does take 30 minutes for one revolution so they would be on it for 30 minutes... but it would NOT cause bunching. The wheel never stops to load passengers, it continuously rotates at a slow rate and people disembark from the car and then the next group of up to 25 enter the 'car'. So, if two teams get there within a couple of minutes of each other, they COULD possibly be in the same car (there is typically a line so if there weren't alot of people arriving in the couple of mins, they could be within 25 people of each other... however, if someone arrives 15 minutes before them, that group will be leaving approx 15 minutes before they complete the ride.

"RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" All the Rob and Amber qoutes seem to be to much. Sounds like misdirection to me. They want us to think that they are going to be gone next week. We will see but I don't think they are due to these qoutes.   Top

"RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" Ok, those are very very interesting vidcaps.. there's a central london tube map >here So, from those photos: #27 is the platform of the Heathrow Express train into London. #31 is a train on the Northen Line (coloured black on the tube map) #32 is Tower Bridge, London #33 and #38-#41 are all taken from within the capsules on the London Eye #43 and #44 are Abbey Road (nearest tube stop: Angel, on the Northen Line) Finally, #57 is the inside of a Circle (yellow) line train.   Top

TARJUNKIE999 479 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 04-27-05, 10:35 PM (EST) 18. "RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" LAST EDITED ON 04-28-05 AT 01:12 AM (EST) Hmm...vidcap #57 has really got me thinking. Why would only Romber be shown on the "yellow" Circle Line? Could it be the big "risk" that they are heard talking about? Why be on the Circle Line at all, if not to get from Victoria Station to the first clue box (Hyde Park, Abbey Road, etc.). Maybe they risk it all and try and find a earlier flight that gets them into Gatwick. Then they would take the Gatwick Express train to Victoria Station (instead of Paddington, like the other racers). Then take the Circle Line to the first clue. Hmm...I wonder... Might explain a lot of things. Might also mean that they have a big lead on the others, as they do their bus roadblock in daylight, while the geezers struggle at twilight. Edited to add: Yep, it's the Circle Line train, as this picture shows of "C" Stock train interiors used on this line. Good catch!   Top

FYI, London Subway (Tube) Map http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/tubemap/default.asp Looks like once they get the detours out of the way up north, they can take the Jubilee Line to London Eye and then straight on to Canary Wharf (Millenium Dome). No need for any taxis.   Top

gatortod 244 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 04-28-05, 03:30 PM (EST) 31. "London airports" A little clarification please. London has 2 airports? Heathrow and Gatwick. Thanks.   Top

choochoo 553 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-28-05, 03:42 PM (EST) 32. "RE: London airports" London has 2 airports? Heathrow and Gatwick. Only 2? I heard there were at least 4 airports in close proximity to London. Maybe only these two take international flights. I'm sure someone here knows the answer.   Top

"RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" LAST EDITED ON 04-28-05 AT 09:56 AM (EST) Nothing to report on the airport signs in the Rob/Amber pictures. Heathrow and Gatwick share the same design for airport signage. The Heathrow signs do appear yellow in some other photos. However, I was wondering, if Gatwick has a 'Customs' sign, would it have an almost synonymous 'Arrivals' sign as seen in the Romber photos? Perhaps Mr. "I'm in London" can help out... Sherlock Holmes? The Beatles? Cool!   Top

"RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" Pic #23 kinda looks like Rob bailed another roadblock. I don't think he would, but the pic makes it look that way. Surely he wouldn't do something this drastic at this point in the race, would he?   Top

This is the first time that I have seen Amber so "glum" at a confessional. Normally she and Rob seem so full of themselves and this time they dont' seem that way. We can only hope they are emliminated this week.   Top

michel 10958 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-05, 06:23 PM (EST) 64. "RE: Glum face" I think picture 30 has them worried about the risk of taking a different flight from the others. If you look at #35 which would be later since they are in London, they look like they're having fun. They've just arrived at the clue at the Sherlock Holmes' museum and must know how many clues were left in the box. If this is their choice for detour then we know why they weren't seen with the boats.   Top

The preview has Joyce saying that she doesn't know any Beatles albums. But she says it while sitting in a car with left-hand drive (cameraman is in right hand side seat). Do the racers have to do a Beatles challenge in Turkey before going to London? Or do they have to figure out their destination from the clue. Cool!   Top

Gingerman28 380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-28-05, 12:27 PM (EST) 27. "RE: Beatles challenge in Turkey?" ChooChoo, I think the answer is that this shot of them at night or very early in the morning is U/J in the taxi leaving the pit stop in Istanbul on the way to the airport. Their first clue at the pitstop clue box is that they are to fly to London and find a location associated with a famous Beatles Album. That's why Joyce is saying: "I don't know any Beatles albums" and Uchenna is searching is memory. They may talk to the other racers, like Meredity and Gretchen who probably are more aware of Beatlemania that the others, and get the answer Abbey Road. But once the solve the mystery, they will still be clueless of what they are supposed to do when they arrive in London. If the first stop is Abbey Road, they may then travel to the London Eye, from where they will have to spot some flag marker (as they did in an early series from the Eiffel Tour) but it may be something specific like Cleopatra's Needle in one direction or the Globe Theatre in the other direction. It is hard to say how far they can see from the top of the Eye which is located on the Themes at Bankside. I don't know if Big Ben or Westminster Brige (where the Town Cryer is) can be seen from the Eye. Wherever, this may be the clue for the DETOUR: either move a bunch of boats from the Serpentine in Hyde Park (a physical task but taking a short time if your are strong) or hunt for clues to a puzzle you will get at the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street.(a less demanding task but may take much longer to complete.)   Top

Joyce appears to be wearing grey pants in both, but you can't tell with her shirt, because in the London pics she has a coat on, and in the PR pics she is wearing a sleeveless white shirt, which she easily could have on under her coat in London.   Top

GameOver3 51 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 04-27-05, 08:34 PM (EST) 14. "RE: TAR 7 Episode 11 Preview vidcaps" Uchenna definitely looks like he is wearing the yellow shirt/greenish brown pants that he has on in the picture from RaceyGirl. Joyce was simply wearing a white shirt with no sleeves in the RaceyGirl picture. It doesn't look like she has a white shirt on at all under her jacket/sweater/other shirts. Also, in regards to the picture of Gretchen in the dark. According to a poster at another board I visit, that is a result of the cameraman using something on his camera to dim out the bright lights behind them, causing the light in the sky to darken out. Also, you can see Meredith is there during the same time as everyone else in the picture of him driving the bus, so its apparent they are all together at this point. Due to what Uchenna/Joyce are wearing, its confusing as to if this is a non elimination leg or not, because we have Uchenna in the yellow shirt, but you can't see if Joyce is wearing the white shirt in the later photo from RaceyGirl. Just because I don't think Uchenna will wear the same yellow shirt again later unless they get their clothes stripped from them, I'm thinking this next leg will be non elimination and Uchenna/Joyce take the final non elimination of the race, leading into a final episode with 4 teams at the start, but 3 teams racing for the cash in the 2nd hour and the final leg, fufilling the preview for the episode, but also being misleading.   Top

The fact that Joyce's pants look the same in the PR picture confirms it more for me than the shirt, because I seriously doubt she was wearing a sleeveless shirt in London or Turkey, so my guess is she got it later in Jamica, or Puerto Rico during the next leg.   Top

If this is the case though, that doesn't mean that you are not right about everything else ... he could have borrowed some from someone (perhaps got a pair back that he had loaned to Meredith?) or he could have layered up.   Top

On what u said, um not so sure abt that bro. Most of the pics of Uchenna and Joyce are during the detour (which means they wont carry along their backs during that time), roadblock (Joyce wont be carrying any since she is doing it while Uchenna is just standing there waiting, so he must have put down the backpack), in the taxi (put the bag..in the back!!! loL). The only picture u can dispute on is at the train station... but Meredith is blocking the view of Joyce carrying her backpack. And Joyce is blocking the view of Uchenna carrying his backpack..   Top

It's clear that Rob is doing the driving, but why is he standing outside (like going, "Awww..") in number 12? Could it be that he and Amber were yeilded and he has to wait until he starts the task?

I have a feeling Rob is outside the bus waiting for the judge or whoever to add up his time and penalties for the course and the ahhh is when he finds out that he has to do it again. I would think the Roadblock would be get threw the course in a certain time but if you hit a cone you get time added on.   Top

Gingerman28 380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-29-05, 12:25 PM (EST) 35. "RE: Abbey Road WebCam" To keep everyone up to date with what we have been finding out so far about Ep11: The airport which we see Rob and Amber arriving at is STANSTED. We have a match with the carpet they are walking on. We also find out that a low-cost airline, GERMANWINGS, lands at this airport and not at the larger Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Germanwings also flies from Istanbul to Cologne, Germany and has flights from Cologne, Germany to Stansted - London. Rob and Amber may find out that there is a flight leaving at 3:55AM from the smaller SABIHA AIRPORT (SAW) in Istanbul (the International Airport is Ataturk (IST). The flight arrives in Cologne at 6:00AM and there is another flight from Cologne to Stansted at 7:10AM arriving at 7:25AM (note one hour time change) But since this is not an "authorized" connecting flight, seats on this flight could not be confirmed in Istanbul. So Amber and Rob take the chance of getting on the flight to London and leave three hours ahead of the other teams at 3:55AM. The other teams most likely will be booking on the Turkish Airlines direct non-stop, flight leaving at 08:30 and arriving at 10:30AM, or on the Lufthansa flight leaving at 5:45AM connecting in Frankfurt and arriving in London at 10:15AM. The first clue will take the teams to Abbey Road. But which one? There are 23 streets named Abbey Road. The one used on the Beatle's Album "Abbey Road" is in front of their studios in Ealing about 17 miles north of central London. BUT the sign on the Vidcap says: ABBEY ROAD, NW8, WESTMINSTER which is near the central London area where the clue box will be located. This may lead them to the London Eye where they have to spot a flag or landmark such as Cleaoptra's Needle where the clue box will lead them to the DETOUR: either a Physical Task which won't take much time if you are strong enough to move four row boats from SERPENTINE LAKE in Hyde Park, or a Less-physical task acting as psueuo Sherlock Holmes to find clues, etec. starting at 221B Baker Street, the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Eventually they get a clue taking them to the Millenium Dome where they run into the YIELD which I think Rob and Amber will put on Uchenna and Joyce. Ron and Kelly seem to be at the bus test about the same time as Rob and Amber. So they are not yielded, and Meredith and Gretchen still don't seem like a threat, so it falls on Uchenna and Joyce. CBess has tried to make us believe that Rob is taking the big gamble of not completing the task with the hope that night will fall and it will be suspended. No, the gamble he took was flying to Cologne with Germanwings without confirmed seats on a continuing flight to London. He knows the game too well to take such a huge risk so late in the race. Even with only a four hour penalty, he would end up in last place and he is pretty sure that this leg is the eighth and final elimination leg. This is an ELIMINATION leg and it looks like time will finally catch up with the determined mature travellers and they will depart.   Top

CBS previews say that there's a yield. In TAR 5 & 6, the first 2 yields were on elimination legs but the third and final one was on non-elimination leg. Remember Colin/Christie, leg 10 in the Philippines and Adam/Rebecca also were yielded with the third one and were not eliminated. If CBS follows the same pattern, next week there's a yield on a non-elimination leg. Probably U/J because they were seen in Jamaica without their backpaks.   Top

"RE: Abbey Road WebCam" our friend puddin' has matched the carpet at Stansted with the carpet on which Rob and Amber are walking. Thus they have arrived in Stansted not Heathrow or Gatwick. Not too many flights from Cologne to Stansted, but it looks like they have made the Germanwings connecting flight and are arriving in London at 7:25AM in time to catch the 8:00 or 8:15 express to Liverpool Station. Here they can catch the Yellow Circle line to Baker Street and either walk to Abbey Road, 8NW, or change to Jubalee Line and ride one stop to St. James Wood. If all goes according to plan, Rob and Amber should be at the first clue box at the Abbey Road corner about three hours ahead of the other teams.   Top

"Some NEW observations" LAST EDITED ON 04-30-05 AT 01:11 PM (EST) Had a chance to see the ep 11 promo in action and have observed the following (you can catch a lot more when the scenes are in motion rather than just still vidcaps (as good as they are.)" Pix 23 - Rob is standing by the bus, and the bus is BACKING UP. Is it being driven by another racer or is an official backing it up so Rob can try again? Between Pix 30 and 31 - There is a missing pix of Rob and Amber running on the street, Amber is holding a Blue Route Info envelope. To their right (screen left) there is a particular stone fence with stubby square posts and a park behind. Now compare this with: Pix 44 - Sign saying ABBEY ROAD, 8NW, The City of Westminster. The sign is on the same wall that we see Rob and Amber running by. Therefore, Rob and Amber have reached the first clue box at Abbey Road. Pix 45 - Pair running by same park, and across zebra crossing (used in the cover of the Beatles' Album) BUT although one person who looks female has a red jacket on with white armpits, she is wearing blue jeans. The person running with her has a midlength brown suede jacket on and blue jeans. None of the team racers is wearing blue jeans or has a midlength brown suede jacket. (Joyce has a red jacket but she has no hair!, which the person in pix 45 has! Amber has a red and white jacket but is wearing dark blue sweats with white stripes. Neither Kelly nor Gretchen has a red jacket) Conclusion: this is setup by production people to introduce scene which is so often the case. Shot has no meaning except to establish location so disregard. Pix 29 - Upon further review, this is not a shot of Rob and Amber either entering a subway car or a airplane. Rather it is a shot of them at some kind of ticket counter. Amber is holding a ticket stub (boarding pass part of a ticket??) which Rob snatches out of her hand as she turns back to the counter. Behind the counter are two people with blue uniform smocks on, one is shuffling through a stack of papers which she holds in her hand. Must have something to do perhaps in Cologne about getting on a connecting flight or in Istanbul when they are booking space. There is a Red and Yellow stripe to Rob's right which are the colors of Germanwings Airlines. Pix 42 - This may be high angle shot from the London Eye. Camera seems to zoom in on a red, double-decker bus standing on a corner. Maybe there is a TAR marking on it (can't see shot too well) but this could be what they are looking for from the London Eye (find a distinctive London landmark with our flag, etc. This is typical when a task is being introduced by Phil) The location seems to be behind the wheel, not across the Themes river where they are looking. Could be parked along the Bankside. Here they may find clue telling them to go to the Millenium Dome and find the next clue. The Roadblock Bus Driver's test. Pix 51 and 55. Behind Meredith and Gretchen are Uchenna and Joyce standing on the underground station platform. They all seem to be looking to their right as a train leaves. So at least we know that M/G and U/J arrived together. Did they just miss the train in Heathrow and know that they will have another delay getting into the city? Joyce is reading some kind of instructions. So it looks like we have on this rainy Saturday morning the following: Rob and Amber pulling a chancey move to get ahead of the others by taking an early flight on Germanwings through Cologne to London. Rob and Amber make it to the Abbey Road 8NW location to find the first clue. Detour: Go to Baker Street Sherlock Holmes Museum and SLEUTH for clues to solve a mystery (of where to go next?)Rob and Amber become Sherlock Holmes for the task. OR, go to the Serpentine and STACK. Move four rental rowboats up from the Serpentine and stack them along a path in Hyde Park. Uchenna and Joyce and Meredith and Gretchen are the stackers. Where oh where have Ron and Kelly gone? But they must have done one of these tasks to get to the London Eye. Clue perhaps tells them to go to the London Eye to spot their next clue.Up on the Eye, Gretchen and Meredith; Uchenna and Joyce; and Ron and Kelly all have seperate, private gondolas to ride up and around (est. time 30 minutes the producers must have reserved space or are using it at a time when it is normally closed as was the case with the water slide in Dubai) and must spot a red, London double-decker bus with the TAR flag to get the next clue. Where oh where are Rob and Amber? But they must have been to the London Eye to get the next clue. Clue sends them to the vacinity of the MILLENIUM DOME to do the ROADBLOCK. Here they first find the YIELD. Rob and Amber are in the lead and they chose to Yield, Uchenna and Joyce. Doing the Roadblock is difficult: driving and backing huge London double-decker buses along the same course used to test professional London bus drivers. Rob, Kelly, Joyce, and Meredith all are having trouble. Question does Rob quit or is this just him waiting to try, try again to back the bus without hitting one of those pesky, little red and white cones. Then off the the pit stop and the Eighth and Final elimination. Who goes home disappointed tonight? What could be more appropriate at this time in the race but to go to the Tower (which is across the Themes from the Millenium Dome) a place well known in British History as a place for Executions!   Top

Something I've been thinking about alot is the yield. We know it will be used in this leg, but I'm not so sure of 1. Romber using it and 2. U/J being the victims of it. This is what I've been tossing around in my head (assuming this is an elimination): We know that U/J & R/K were seen in Puerto Rico, so they are in the final leg. We haven't yet figured out who the 3rd team is, highly likely it is Romber. If Romber make the connecting flight and arrive 2 to 3 hours ahead of everyone else, why would they use the yield? It just doesn't make sense because they will feel they don't need to. The other teams will not be able to yield Romber if this is true. U/J will not yield M/G, why would they? They are seen helping them and know they are much slower. Bunching will occur at some point, perhaps at the busses. This could be the task where the yield appears near. Last time there was a yield, Rob suggested to R/K not using it. R/K probably will think more strategically this time (on their own without Rob's suggestions). They have probably been thinking about that yield ever since. I think Ron & Kelly will use the yield on Meredith & Gretchen (and proclaim, "the devil made me do it") so they won't come in last again and M/G will be Philiminated. If we assume an non-elimination (less likely scenario, IMO because of the finale press release): U/J will be yielded and lose all of their belongings.

If Romber do not make that connection, they risk falling behind or not getting a lead on the other teams. If any team gets on front of them, I don't think they would hesitate to yield them.

Therefore, it shows Rob and Amber at the Abbey Road spot to find first clue giving directions to Detour tasks I believe. They choose SLEUTH and not the more physical STACK task.

That Abbey Road location sure matches the webcam pix. They just have to find a clue box somewhere near the zebra crossing. Now question is this the first place they have to go to, or do they have to go to the London Eye first? London Eye normally opens at 9:30AM, but producers have probably arranged for it to be open just for TAR earlier, say around 8AM. But that would mean that the other three teams also got to London before the regularly scheduled flights at 10:15 or 10:30. But since Joyce is talking about the Beatles' album in the Istanbul taxi, I feel that the first place they have to get to is the Abbey Road location.   Top

Thought id start my post the same way i did my hoax thread...! I was right M/G did make it to london!!! I had a feeling they would (hence my hoax) Anyway i just wanted to clarify a few points All London airports have the same carpets...as they are all run by the BAA, and all look incredibly alike - so dont be all conclusive about which airport they arrive at BECAUSE OF THE CARPET COLOUR. London City airport is right in the heart of London - and right by the Thames - this would give any teams a huge advantage if they could get there - however im not so sure they do international flights - never used it myself. There are literally hundreds of possibilites from Turkey - London. Flights from Gatwick/Heathrow/Stanstead/Luton fly all over Europe and so a connection could be made anywhere - however Gatwick is along way away from Central London as is Stanstead - Heathrow is the closest and is a 30 minute tube to central london - even quicker with the heathrow express. Luton is the farthest of them all - i wouldnt expect them to go to Luton. The London Eye is full of American Tourists with cameras - Im shocked that they chose to have a task here - surely one of them could have had the decency to take a picture for us - how popular is the show in the States - would alot of Americans recognise the flags etc? Another thing - someone mentioned bunching on the London Eye - This wouldnt occur - as the wheel takes half an hour - but loads every two minutes or so no bunching could occur. Also - i feel that U/J and M/G are either: 1 - are in first/second place - why would U/J help M/G if they knew they were battling for 3rd place - they arent stupid OR 2 - Think they had a better flight than R/K and R/A and feel they are still in first but arent (hence U/J losing backpacks in raceygirls pic) OR 3 - R/K come in last and they are the victims of a mugging - as Rons raceygirl pic has a much smaller backpack (However this is much less likely as they would have had no money to start the next leg - how likely are they to waste any money they can beg for on a backpack?)

QUOTE : "... about the London eye, if it loads every 2 minutes and there were all 4 teams on it at the same time, wouldn't you consider that bunching? I would." No, because it takes 30 minutes to go round once they get on, so say for example - U/J get on at 9:50 - they would leave it at 10:20 M/G get on at 10:00 - They would get off at 10:30 There is no time lost - they would all leave the capsules (as thats what they are called) at 30 minutes after they get on) They would all be on different parts of it.   Top

Could more than one team go in a capsule and share or is it just for 2 people? Does it load like a ferris wheel does? What if a team enters at 9:50, another at 9:52 & a third at 9:54? That would be bunching to me, two minutes is not a substantial lead, IMO. Anyway, I'm not really saying there is bunching at the London Eye, you've just got me all curious now!

I agree - but its not bunching if they are arriving that close together - i am saying if one team arrives 10 minutes before the other - they dont have to wait to get on and the lead will remain. If they arrive at the same time however - then more than 1 team can get in the same capsule - as they can fit upto i think 16 pople -however as you may gather the wheel wont stop when its open - so it doesnt wait for 16 people to gwt on before it sets off. Yes it loads like a ferris wheel.   Top

I believe that the normal opening hour of the London Eye is 9:30AM, and each capsule carries up to 25 people. But in all the shots we have seen, one team is in a capsule all by their lonesomes! If the wheel were open for the general public this is almost an impossiblity. So I believe that the producers have made arrangements to open the wheel just for TAR say at 8:00 or 8:30AM. This is what they did with the WaterWorld slide in Dubai and at other sites which opened just for TAR early before the normal rush of tourists arrive. Also, please note that Joyce and Uchenna are standing behind M/G on the platform, therefore they must have arrived together at Heathrow Airport.   Top

Phil Keoghan is the host of the series. Nearing the last legs of the Race, some Teams take a chance by purchasing airline tickets without confirmed seats on a connection, while other Teams have seats on a direct flight which arrives later. Forced to beg for money and personal provisions, one Racer shares a stranger's tube of lipstick. One Team uses the Yield to hold back another Team. Will this delay affect their standing in the Race?

I still am the only person alive who think that M/G will be the ones to yield R/A. Doesnt the devil comment sound just like her - almost all of the cute quotes have come from her so why not this one. They are the only team that might feel badly about doing it. I think that if R/A did it he would take full credit for great game playing - not pass it off on the devil. Who knows - I'm wrong a lot.   Top

beau_30 952 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-03-05, 11:06 AM (EST) 109. "Yielded" I hope so, Romber should of been gone already, I mean POWWOW couldn't yeild them while they were in India, so Zombie yields them now. I wouldn't of listen to Romber in the first place, they should of yielded them. Plus only your allowed to use the yield once. Which means Rob and Amber could of bee yielded twice. I remeber last season when Adam and Rebecca Yielded Freddy and Kendra instaed of Jonthan and Victoria. But yet Jonthan and Victoria still lost. And Freddy and Kendra just yielded Adam and Rebecca for revenge, which I thought was the stupidest Idea. If I was them game playing wise I would of yielded Kris and Jon. I like them, but for game wise, It would of been them two. So in the first round Happy Boys should of yielded Romber. They wouldn't of lost. The second time Powwow should of yielded Romber. So romber got away twice from the yielded, I like romber, but there just a strong team and it would of worked that way.   Top

"RE: Yielded" The 'Happy Boys' couldn't have yielded Rob and Amber since R/A were ahead of them. If you'll remember, Rob and Amber were first to the bridge and the yield mat. L/A caught up, and passed them on the raft. That was the 1st yield in this race, and there are only a total of 3 in this race.   Top

michel 10958 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-03-05, 08:13 PM (EST) 112. "RE: Yielded" During the second yield, POWWOW were in first place and they knew they were due for a Non-elim. It would have been stupid to use it then and it wouldn't have gotten rid of Romber anyway. You use a yield when you're close to the last position and you yield the last place team (mom and son should've yielded the roommates and made the finish less stressing). The exception would be the last yield of the race like tonight. Then you use it any way you like and using it against a strong team has proven useful (remember Chip and Kim). In this case I can also see a first place team use it to prevent someone else being saved by it.   Top

TARJUNKIE999 479 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-04-05, 01:16 PM (EST) 113. ""Boat Hoax" uncovered" Leave it to CBS to throw us spoilers a curve ball. Just when we thought the blue row boats were from Hyde Park (which they were), the racers go to Battersea Park. As the picture below shows, the row boats in Battersea Park are NOT blue. So why use the (numbered) blue boats? Because they look better on TV. Those sneaks took the Hyde Park boats to Battersea Park. Oooohhh...CBS is truly evil!   Top
