"TAR 7 Episode 5 Preview vidcaps" |
These frame grabs are from the preview shown at the end of Episode 4. Ooh, Episode 5 is going to be a two hour humdinger, you betcha. * * * Phil: On the next special two-hour Amazing Race ...Ray and Deana take the high road, 1 2
3 4 Ray: You got it baby. Deana: Whoa... I can't. 5 6 Phil: And Gretchen takes a fall. Meredith: Oh God, Gretchen. 7 8 Phil: Uchenna and Joyce get emotional at an orphanage... 9 10 Joyce (wiping tears): The kids were soo sweet. 11 12 Uchenna: This has been the most special moment for us in the entire race. 13 14 Phil: And Brian and Greg have an accident. 15 16 17 18 A voice yells: BRIAN?! Another voice driving by (sounds like Kelly): Oh my God Oh My God. A closer look at the crash victims... Enhanced version... **************** Trying to determine who is on the ground in the final frame. We know that Greg is wearing a tan shirt and dark shorts. I think that's him bending down on the right side of the frame. We see Brian driving in a dark blue short sleeve shirt and light plaid shorts. That seems to be him on the ground. Of course, there are two other people there, a cameraman and a sound technician, most likely. BUT there seems to be something strange about the crash footage. The camera is definitely in the front seat in frames 12 and 13. But in frames 14 through 17 the camera is most definitely in the back seat, and the driver is wearing solid color shorts and a white shirt. The left front passenger is wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. And what is with the bars across the driver's window in frame 16? Did Brian change clothes? Did the cameraman move to the back seat? Could this be a re-creation of the crash to enhance the footage? Didn't I see Gretchen in a rest home community theater version of Carrie?

Sorry, I know all of the otehr teams but I can never remember which brother is which. I'll upload the pics in a minute and add them to this post.

I'll go along with the idea that Greg is squatting next to Brian. That's more likely, since they are brothers and one seems to be injured. What puzzles me is the identity of the other two, contrasted with the clothes seen in the "crash" footage.

So maybe something happened to the plaid short driving brother, passed out or something? That is why we hear "Brian!" And the camera angle makes it look like sleeveless guy jumps from the back seat to grab the steering wheel. Could explain how they crash on a straight road? Too far fetched?

If you look closely, you can see the two-cup cupholder in that second photo, so I don't think it is a bench seat. It is certainly possible that the first shots of them driving were from a different sequence. But we don't see racers change clothes in the middle of a leg very often. And if they did change clothes, then we can't use the first frames to identify the people in the final frame. Another thought... perhaps the third and fourth person at the crash site are Lynn and Alex who stopped to see if the brothers were OK. Damn fuzzy picture! These reality show contestants need a reality check!

I think that the difference in clothes is from 2 different instances. I don't think that they would recreate an accident since the cameras are already there why would they need to? I just think that the editing of the preview makes it look like the same time but it isn't.

Since racers are allowed a new vehicle if it breaks down through no fault of their own, how will it be handled having an accident that is the teams fault? (Driving too fast in unsafe conditions for example)Do they get a new vehicle but a penalty too? Has anybody ever had an accident on TAR?

I hope to GOD someone helps them and doesnt say - to bad we're in a race.

I believe we see Kelly and Uchenna in the cave (during the same time as Gretchen?) in the web preview. This might meen that Ron/Kelly had to give up on the fast forward and are now in the pack with the other teams. Or might not if the fast forward is the first hour with a non-elim. and than this part is in the second hour. But it does seem to indicate, at least, that there are other teams there to help Gretchen out, and I think they would at least stop and make sure she was alright.

23. "Lynn/Alex stop?" |
Plus, I do think Lynn/Alex must stop when they see the brothers accident. My reason is that it has to be their cameraman that captures these far images we have clips of. The brothers cameraman is most likely in the image, wouldn't be that far away if he wasn't, and probably broke or turned off his camera.

We would know if a team was killed in this episode, right? I'm only saying this because my dad said he heard something on the radio saying that one of the teams was killed in this episode (which might explain the random two-hour episode in the middle of the season?) while he was driving to work this morning. While I doubt it's true, I do remember watching Jeopardy 3 or 4 months ago and seeing a commercial for the news saying something along the line of "It was bound to happen eventually, someone has finally been killed in the making of a reality TV show. This and more at 11." I didn't remember to watch that night, but I figured the people on this board would know if it was the Amazing Race. Can anyone make my entire family feel a lot better by confirming this rumor as false? Thanks a lot.

(I could be wrong, but I sure it wasn't TAR) The accident happened in Washington State.

I know this isn't the Contender thread, but Najhy (sp?) is the one who committed suicide before the season started to air. The last episode was dedicated in his memory. Najhy already lost before he committed suicide. A boxer does come back after another boxer was diagnosed with chicken pox. The doctor wouldn't allow him to compete since he had a contagious disease, so he was forced to quit. To replace him, the remaining boxers had to vote for one of three boxers that had already lost. I believe they all voted for the tall boxer. I really don't know which guy it was, since I missed the first couple of episodes. The show is getting interesting however. I've got this Tivo'd now.

46. "leg #5" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-25-05 AT 11:45 PM (EST)I just realize that all the tasks in the preview come from a single leg. When the editor edited for leg #5, he didn't know that CBS will combine two episodes and make a two-hour special. The preview at the end of each leg is usually for the next leg. What the editor should do is go to the end of leg #5 and cut out the preview of leg #6 and show us. By the time he realizes it, it's too late now. Take a look at the map below. After they land in Johannesburg International airport, they'll go to a route marker and grab the Fast Forward (FF). The FF is the cooling tower in Soweto. If the teams can't do a FF, then they have to do the cave Detour which is in the Gold Reef City. There're hundreds of gold mines in the area. The Detour can't be far from the FF. They have to do the Detour & the Roadblock in one day so they can't travel far like 100 miles or 12 hours. In South Africa, there are many game reserves too. The close one is the Krugersdorp Game Reserve. It's not safe at night in South Africa so the pitstop should be back in Johannesburg. Can they beg in South Africa? So what's leg #6? I don't know.

There's a possibility that it's all from Leg 6 though. Leg 5 is most likely a non-elimination (therefore the bunching), and London will seem very out of place if the teams head out to Botswana and then to India right after that according to the Romber Flight Spoiler. (Opening Sequence Spoilers have never failed us before.)Let's see if we get any previews that tell us the other location.

53. "RE: leg #5" |
The first thing we need to determine does the 29 March episode include one or two legs? Leg 5 from Buenos Aires to Johannesburg, South Africa and Leg 6 From Johannesburg to Botswana? Or is this only a double length leg 5 as was the double length (to be continued) leg in Eger and Budapest, Hungary?If we have two legs does that mean two Detours and Two Roadblocks, two pit stops, and a Fast Forward? The Fast Forward seems to be the walk over the cooling towers in Soweto. We also have the cave crawl, feeding the lions in Lion Park, all of which could be in South Africa around Johannesburg. First pit stop and NEL could end up in Johannesburg which would be a little safer at night for the teams and crew. The teams seem to travel through the Lion Park in trucks with more than one team in them. The next leg could be in Botswana at one of the game reserves around Gweta where we have spotted the large stone statue of the Aardvark. Which brings up another curious thing which no one seems to have focused on. What is the role of the yellow biplane which buzzes over at least two teams running on the road and then continues over the Aardvark? Just atmosphere (recreating one of Alfred Hitchcocks most famous scenes) or does the plane involve some other task? One task in Botswana looks like one we had in Norway with the viking weapons. Here we have Brian throwing a spear at a moving sand bag. Greg is watching so maybe this is a Roadblock. Most of the previews have been focusing on the wreck of the Land Rover with the brothers Brian and Greg on board. But there has been a lot of juggling of the editing in this sequence. We first see Brian with a dark blue shirt with sleves coming down to his bicepts driving (note bead bracelet on left wrist) But at the time of the wreck he is wearing a sleveless white shirt (again note bead bracelet on his left wrist)! So it looks like the teams have been spending at least one night in a safari campsite. In the fuzzy picture of the wreck it is hard to spot a person with a white sleveless shirt. And there appears to be a fifth person walking toward the group from the left. So at least one other vehicle has stopped. And we have another going by. So it looks like many cars were running together across the grassland. After the accident in the cave (first day?) we no longer see Meredith or Gretchen. Do they want us to believe that they have been eliminated at the end of leg 5?

54. "RE: leg #5" |
TAR6 Aaron @ TWop said that the first leg of Budapest was supposed to be a NEL and has a pit stop. The production found out that it was illegal to beg in Hungary so that was why it was a to be continued. It was a one-time anomaly and we'll never see again. I don't think TV Guide spells wrong because they just copy & paste the press release. Episode 5 should have leg 5 and leg 6. Each leg is complete with pit stop, Detour, Roadblock, and a 12-hour rest period.In TAR5, if there's a NEL, there's a FF. Since we see a FF in Soweto, S. Africa, that leg should be a NEL. So there are two Detours, Two Roadblocks, two pit stops, and a Fast Forward. The safari should be in Botswana.

55. "Some thoughts on the challenges...." |
Whether this is one longass leg or two separate legs, we're still talking 2 detours, 2 roadblocks and 1 fast forward along with a myriad of pit stops and small novelty challenges like sliding the glass on the ice bar or riding a rail car etc.here's what i see so far in challenges Cave Climbing - probable Detour as it looks like both Meredith and Gretchen are participating Image #46 Shown: M/G, R/D, R/K, U/J Lion Feeding - probable Detour Image #209 Shown: Uchenna, Rob, Ray, Deena (or Amber), Greg, Ron & mystery person in long sleeved blue shirt (possibly kelly). ETA: process of elim would make this a Detour see explanation below. Orphanage - No idea whether this is a RB or simply a novelty task. Uchenna is shown holding bags (blue and brown) so we know there's a challenge involved, just not what. Image # 7 Shown:Uchenna/Joyce Silo Walk - Definately Fast Forward Images #1-4 Target Practice - Probably Roadblock as we only see one of the brothers throwing the spear at the target. Images #24-28 (#25 is a broken link but if you c/p it and remove the #25, you'll be able to view it. shows him mid throw so it helps put the picture together) Shown: Brian & Greg Airplane - No idea what this is, but most likely it's a roadblock since there's already 2 detours (feeding lions and cave climbing) and 1 roadblock (spear throwing) Since the shot of Greg feeding the lions (image #204) and the shot of Brian tossing the spear (Image #24) have Greg wearing the same shirt, we know it's the same day. Problem is, both the lions and the spear tossing appear to be Roadblocks!! Since one of these 2 challenges HAS to be a Detour, I would hesitate to guess then, that the feeding of the lions is NOT a roadblock afterall. Here's why. In Image #204, Greg is holding his feeding bucket and wearing rubber gloves. IF this was a Roadblock, wouldn't only ONE member of each team be participating? Why then, are both Ray AND Deana in the vehicle together? (Side note: to me that looks like Amber and not Deana, but since Rob is shown feeding the lions next to Uchenna, either way, that puts R/A doing the task or R/D doing the task, thus Detour) Also the supposed shots of the car accident have Greg wearing the same shirt as the lion feeding and the spear tossing so this must happen after they've done both tasks or it's not as serious as they make it seem. Also Ray/Deana (shown in the van with Greg & Ron)look to be wearing the same clothes as they are in the FF. So this puts the following all in one episode: FF, Lion feeding(Detour), Spear throwing (RB)& car accident. That leaves only 3 challenges unaccounted for. The cave climbing , the orphanage and the airplane. We know that the plane flies over the giant aardvark in botswana so that has to be Episode 6. Could it be possible that the cave climbing is done at the start of this episode prior to them flying to Botswana?? The reason i pose this question, is because we already have a Detour & RB all on Episode 5. *Something* has to happen on Episode 6! The only thing so far that i'm questioning is Ray/Deena outfits in the truck (image #204) as being the same ones as in the FF (images #1-4). It looks like it could be Ron in the bknd at the FF, in which case, that shirt doesn't match up to Ron's shirt in image #204. In which case, the FF could easily be at the start of Episode #6. The whole R/D vs R/K doesn't fly though for either day. We see both of them in the Feeding lions task AND both of them in the cave climbing task (which are different days) so whichever day the FF falls on, if it is indeed a matchup between those 2 teams for the FF, why do we then see both teams in other challenges??? We know Orphanage is different day than Lion feeding and Spear tossing as Uchenna has on a gold striped shirt in one and a lemon yellow solid t-shirt in another. So at this point: Episode 5: Lion Feeding (Detour), Spear Tossing (Roadblock) & Truck accident (all 3 supported by Greg wearing same shirt in all 3 places) Episode 6: Orphanage (RB? novelty challenge?), Cave Climbing (Detour) & Plane/Aardvark in Botswana (RB? novelty challenge?) So who gets the FF? Last year the FF's were prior to both Detour and RB challenges. The year before, 1 FF was prior to the challenges and 1 FF was after the Detour and before RB. So because there is no hard and fast rule, it could be anyone. If they have the FF prior to all challenges (like they did 3 of the last 4 FFs), then possible FF winners would be: If FF is Episode 5: Possibles are M/G, L/A as all others are shown feeding the lions and/or spear throwing.
If FF is Episode 6: Possibles are L/A, R/A, B/G as all others are shown doing the Cave Climbing and/or orphanage If Episode 5 is an elimination, it would have to be L/A or B/G as they're missing from Eppy 6 (R/A surviving cause of spoilers) ok, my brain hurts now.

>Also the supposed shots of the >car accident have Greg wearing >the same shirt as the >lion feeding and the spear >tossing so this must happen >after they've done both tasks >or it's not as serious >as they make it seem.But if you look closely at how this sequence is edited you will be able to see that the shots used in the sequence have been filmed at different times. We have a close up of Brian driving and then a close shot of his hands on the wheeel. In these shots he is wearing a blue short sleeved shirt. He has a bead bracelet on his left wrist. Through the window you can see what looks like a deep green woods with trees dissimilar from those seen in the long shots of the Land Rover (by the way at least one shot of the LR has been reversed so that the snorkle is on the right side of the windshield and not the left and that the steering wheel seen through the window is also on the left!). In the actual crash sequence after the run-in with the Ostrich, Brian is wearing a sleeeless white shirt, still not that he has the bead bracelet on his left wrist. After the crash it looks like from the left we have a cameraperson, Brian knelling on the ground (whitish shirt) and what very well may be the Ostrich and not a person who has been hite; then it looks like Greg bending over (brownish shirt, dark shorts) and another person walking up to them (Lynn or Alex?) Anoher thing, if Ray and Deana complete the fast forward in South Africa (walking across the cooling towers) why do we think we see them on the Lion feed and or the cave walk? I think in the Land Rover that is headed for the lions we have Rod (and kelly) Greg (and Brian) and then Uchenna and Joyce in the third and last seat.

I posted this in another thread--I'm putting it here, too only because I haven't seen it mentioned. As far as Gretchen's injury: Her profile says she's a retired nurse, so it pretty likely that she'll take care of her own wound (maybe even stitch it herself!) and they'll be on their way.

So if Brian is wearing dark blue short sleeved shirt along with Greg wearing the beige shirt we see him in doing Episode 5 activities, then peut etre the car accident is in Episode 6 then if they're in different clothes.Also regarding Ray, we only know that they try for the FF. Do we know they actually succeed? that could explain why you see them both in the lion feeding and the cave climbing tasks.

64. "RE: Some thoughts on the challenges...." |
Agree that maybe the reason we are having so much confusion with the FF is that neither R/D or the couple in the background complete it. The bridge will be a very challenging task because there is bound to be a pretty good draft in that tower. Even if the plant is not in use the difference in temps between the interior of that tower and the outside air will be enough to start a circulation. That bridge is pretty "flimsy" and it may not be possible for both teams to complete the walk across it. Once one team leaves after making a "big mistake" the other may also leave because they just can't get both members across and don't want to fall too far behind the others.

If FF is Episode 5: Possibles are M/G, L/A as all others are shown feeding the lions and/or spear throwing.But, what about L/A being heard to say "Oh my God, oh my God" in reaction to the car accident as they drive by the brothers. If the car accident follows the detour and the roadblock, then L/A could not have won the FF.

that's very true./..but the difference in the clothing of Brian/Greg hints that the accident is in Episode 6..so L/A could very easily do the FF if it's in Eppy 5

66. "RE: TAR 7 Episode 5 Preview vidcaps" |
found this detail on an ET link. it speculates all teams do the caves before the FF. Also that the orphanage visit may be the cause for the rollover?????"this week the race takes the teams to South Africa for a cave climbing challenge, one of the most dangerous events to date. And one of the contestants pays the price, taking a tumble. It looks like it might be GRETCHEN, who comes up covered in blood. Then two teams race for the first Fast Forward of game seven in a competition that measures both their balance and their fear of heights. Also, the racers visit a local orphanage in an emotional journey that may be the cause for one team getting into a serious Jeep accident. Will it keep the racers from reaching the Pit Stop? For a sneak peek at Tuesday's two-hour "Amazing Race 7," tune in to tonight's ET".
