I'll add CBS Website info here:Tempers flare when Charla & Mirna try to steal Colin & Christie's taxi.
The bowling moms struggle with the new twist that has left them penniless. Can they overcome this obstacle? A herd of unruly goats run several Teams ragged along the shores of the Nile. Frustration and impatience plague a few teams who realize digging in the sand is not as easy as it seems. _________
Now my own thoughts:
1)I believe the digging and the goats are both options of the Detour. It appears that Brandon is digging.
2)If you overhear the vidcaps, it sounds like Colin and Christie left their cab, so Charla and Mirna took it.

They are 4th right behind "Blue Lagoon". He helped the twins find the clue at the pyramid and fell behind by a few minutes.

Not that amazing. and not even that much bunching.Getting in just before noon - means they leave just before midnight. What's gonna be open in the desert at midnight = NOTHING. So they have to wait till day break. ~ 7am. Midget and Gidget were done by 7Pm - and 12 hours makes it 7AM. Still might have a huge advantage on the rest of the pack.

Sure looks like the pretty couple have blown it. Bad use of the Fast Forward when they were already at least 12 hours ahead of everyone else. Notice that not one other team even looked at the FF when they were opening their clue at the Cairo Tower. Right that most things probably don't open until daybreak so that is one bunch point. And the teams seem to take taxies from their "pit stop hotel or camp" back to the Pyramid area to start the next ep off. So it looks like the first clue takes them back down into a tomb of some sort with the cousins leading the Blue Lagooners. The next bunching probably happens on the flight from Cairo to Luxor. This is where we see the cousins "stealing" a cab from the perfect couple. It doesn't look good for the bowling moms but the "spoiler" still has them as one of the five teams making it to New Zealand so they must survive somehow; while it looks like the pizza boys are next to go in EP6. Then we have three eps (Dar es Salaam, Dubai, and Calcutta) left, two of which have to be non-elimination to get down to the five teams going on to New Zealand.

None of the other teams mentioned the Fast Forward because it wasn't an option at the time they opened the envelope. The producers probably removed the green folders from the envelopes.The benefit to C&C in using the FF was that no other team could use the FF to vault ahead of the pack. It may not catapult C&C a day ahead of all the others, but it was a solid defensive move. It was a shrewd decision, and the correct choice. They had a big lead, and took away the "Hail Mary pass" that could have allowed a trailing team to catch them. Did Colin & Christie think this out before they made the decision? Heck, no. They made the right choice anyway. And I agree that the remaining FF will be used by the first team to find it, despite the fact that they are the first to the clue box. It is unlikely they would gain enough time to get 12 hours or more ahead of the others, and thus will probably find themselves bunched in again. By limiting the game to only two Fast Forwards, the producers have effectively removed them from the game. 
These reality show contestants need a reality check!

Yep, Teri/Ian and JohnVito/Jill both went to the carpet store. Teri & Ian won the FF, and John & Jill had to go back.It also happened in TAR 4 when Reichen & Chip beat Kelly & Jon to the chimp preserve. In TAR 1, the Guidos and Nancy/Emily both showed up at the temple for the coin counting FF which the Guidos won.

I still don't get why one single yield hasn't been used yet, especially since there have been so many teams that are at the bottom of the pack each episode. I think the yield will become much more visible in episodes to come.

umm...let's remember that the name of this topic is "Clues in TAR5 EPISODE 6". We already know from others that the pit stop will be in Luxor. BTW, if you remember from season 4, that CBS would occasionally show upcoming locations in that weeks credits. Thus the Luxor hotel credit (spoiler) in Episode 5 (Cairo episode). Thanks Ontario Tar Fan for trying to clear things up with Urban_Kitty.

Looks alot like the front of an airport. (See the second floor and what looks like an airport tower behind it) However, not too many other cars or taxis seen. I wonder if that is the Luxor airport and they are fighting over cabs from the airport? Maybe it's really early in the am. Certainly the Cairo airport would be full of cabs.

I just saw the teaser again, but I don't have it on tape. Could somebody with more technical skill than I have check out the big cab fight redux scene with Colin the psycho and Mirna? She has got something in her hand that looks like it *might* be a fast forward? Could this be another FF so soon? Another possibly explanation why C and C lost their mega lead? ***pr0cRaStiN8tor**

..."She has got something in her hand that looks like it *might* be a fast forward? "...Went back to the video tape and it clearly shows Mirna with the Blue "Route Info" (clue) card. Looks like Gidget/Midget caught up with the leaders thanks to airport bunching. For those playing at home the color schemes are:Blue - Route Info card (standard clue)
Red - Roadblock card
Yellow (?) - Detour card
Green - Fast Forward card

These are pretty uninteresting photos.
#1. The Nile river, duh? No monuments or temples visible, must be the west Bank.
#2. Chip and Kim are pretty happy about something and signaling someone.
#3. Obvious goat herding onto same boat? Chip looks like he has a big rabbit, not a goat in his hands. Not really very helpful as there are not other contestants around.
#4. OK another taxi race. These are less interesting than the airport bunchings. So one taxi passes another, have we ever seen this before? The white taxi with the blue panel off to the left looks like it has God's Goldilocks in it. Look to me like there are 4 taxis total. This is pretty typical road along the Nile, could be going to or coming from goat herding cruise.

#4- My guess would be taxi race is from Luxor airport to the banks of the Nile for the goat roundup- felluca trip. After the boat ride, I think they would not be so bunched up.

New CBS promo is showing Chip and Kim in the taxi cringing about weaving in and around. I get the impression they are in the last taxi, the one in the foreground. The promo also has the glowing Chip babbling on about being on the Nile. Very, very positive editing for them. Also, in replay Saturday's episode, the BM's are very favorably edited, while the Brothers are sore (ha) losers.

39. "RE: New TAR5 Ep. 6 promo on CBS 8/7" |
From the various short promos telecast by CBS over the weekend we can get some ideas about what we will be seeing (or not seeing) on Tuesday.First from the end credits of last Tuesday's show we learn that the pit stop probably was at the Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel which is a resort hotel set in its own landscaped gardens and provide "unrivalled" views of the pyramids. And it has a "spectacular" swimming pool. We also learn from the credits that the next pit stop in Luxor is at the Jolie Ville Movenpick Luxor Resort on Crocodile Island, a private island in the middle of the Nile River. Ep6 starts off again at the Giza Pyramids which probably don't open until at least after sunrise at 6:30AM. So if C/C arrived way before the second team of C/M arrived around 6:30PM they would have to wait at the Pyramid and C/M would not be far behind them. We can only surmise that they have to find some kind of clue in the tunnels (we see C/M and B/N walking through the tunnels (it must be later in the morning now since it is getting hot out and B takes his shirt off - at night it gets pretty cool in the desert in winter.) And it looks like Brandon and Nicole were not that far behind C/M So lets assume that they find some kind of message or route information (blue envelope in Mirna's hand in the taxi scene).
So now the delemma is how do they get to Luxor. Thats about 405 miles upriver from Cairo. If they spend the morning searching around the pyramids and then to to the airport for a flight to Luxor they have missed the three early flights on Egyptair: 4:45AM, 5:35Am and 6:15AM. The only other direct flight is at 7:45PM arriving in Luxor at 8:45PM well after sunset at 5:38PM. And we see the two teams of C/M and C/C arriving in daylight. So do they hang around the airport until the next morning for the early morning flight? But they would have to wait until the 5:35AM flight which arrives after sunrisea at 6:40AM But if this is the Luxor Airport there aren't many people around, only one taxi seems to be there, and somehow there are too many buildings around this very small airport in the middle of the desert. So I'm starting to believe that this is not an airport. So maybe they don't wait for an airplane, and maybe they have been instructed to take a train to Luxor. The trains run very often and are cheep. About $9.00 for the express train or about $50 for the sleeper trains. They leave regularly in the evening. And if they took one leaving around 8, 8:45, and 9 PM they would arrive in Luxor at sunrise. So this may be the main railway station, not the airport, where M/C and C/C fight over the cab (note many porters in the background with luggage carts which are typical around railway stations)The taxi fight is in the daylight)And perhaps this is the last cab, the other teams having taken the first cabs, so it maybe that everyone ended up on the same overnight train from Cairo to Luxor.
The first task may be to find some clue at the Karnak Temple. Note the Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsot at the entrance. The temple is open to visitors from 6AM to 5:30PM. The clue may be in the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns (which we have seen) or it could be the Colonade of Amenhotep III.
One task in the Detour is the job of loading a number of goats onto a river boat and then sail with them somewhere? Crocodile Island?? It must be a detour since there are scenes of both Chip and Kim and Charla and Mirna working at this job. Then there is the taxi race. The cab with Chip and Kim must have had a wild man as a driver; note that his cab crosses the solid white line to pass another taxi and almost colides with a truck coming in the other lane. Is this a cab from the railway station to the Karnak Temple about 3 miles from the center of Luxor. So far all of the editing as been centered around Chip and Kim mostly. Only one sequence with Brandon, two sequences with Charla and Mirna. And the taxi fight with Colin and Christi. And so far nothing about the twins, the bowling moms (except their begging scenes) or the pizza delivery boys. Anyone want to speculate on what all this means? I have one more observation which is puzzling. In most of the tasks last week we see the teams at least arriving at various spots with their backpacks, and they all have them when they arrive at the pitstop. EXCEPT Charla and Mirna. From the moment that they arrive on the Giza Plateau they no longer have their backpacks with them. And when they arrive at the pitstop they do not have their backpacks. Are they then allowed to go back to wherever they left them in the desert and retrieve them? Or does their kindly cameraman/producer carry the packs for them? Just curious, that's all.

This is not the roadblock. In another frame you can see Mirna in the background carrying a goat. Also in still another frame you can see Kim helping Chip load his goats into the boat.
