PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Tips in India,
Bribes are expected if you really want to get anything done.
Can't get anything done during tea time.
Watch out for the skin tax. Prices rise dramatically when you are white (obviously a westerner).

Ahh... the power of Indians, as a fellow Indian I can say when I saw Lynn and Alex getting gyped, that made me and my dad laugh. Just yell extremely loud or F*** off!!! and they leave, but those drivers will go to anyways to make money. Not only if your white, but if you dont look like from the area, you get those looks and sights that you see in the episode

17. "Starting Times"
1.) Rob/Amber - 12:45 am
2.) Ron/Kelly - 12:46 am
3.) Uchenna/Joyce - 2:08 am
4.) Lynn/Alex - 3:00 am
5.) Meredith/Gretchen - 3:45 am

I found Meredith/Gretchen's opening confessional very interesting. It hints at a tougher, more determined team. I really am starting to think that M/G skills will peak and they'll be able to knock off two other teams and make the final three.

I don't think that it is unusual either. When you have visited a third world country, anytime you are in another third world country you will be making comparisons. It is not what we are used to, so we reference something else that we have experienced.
For Ron, himself and all other military, their experience in Iraq or in other places would be extremely memorable (for lack of a better term) and they will never forget it. I am actually glad that he does mention it, seems more healthy that way than to not mention it.
PS Marli thank your husband for me for serving and also thank you for performing the hardest job in the military... wife.

From a former dependent.

LAST EDITED ON 04-12-05 AT 09:15 PM (EST)

Rob/Amber depart 12:45 am. Fly to Lucknow, India, over 5,000 miles. When they land they must make their way to a temple to find their clue.
Ron/Kelly depart 12:46 am.
Uchenna/Joyce depart 2:08 am.
Lynn/Alex depart 3:00 am.
Meredith/Gretchen depart 3:45 am.

All the teams are on the same flight out of Africa. Gretchen says 'oh our bags are already on, thank you'. Bwahaha.

Teams must travel to Francistown, Botswana. There they pick up their tickets to Mombai. Lynn/Alex borrow a cell phone to call a travel agent. Rob and Ron are talking to the agent to look at flights from Mumbai to Lucknow. The other teams are outside. Alex books a flight (6 tickets) that arrive at 9:35 am.

Rob and Ron book 4 tickets on a flight that arrives 5 minutes earlier. Lynn/Alex ask the woman not to let anyone else use her phone, Rob asks the ticket agent not to book anyone else on the flight they booked. Ron is sure working with Romber on the airline tickets will make them a target of the other teams. Kelly comments that now that she and Ron are starting to win the other teams don't want to associate with them.

The teams board their flight to Mumbai. Romber and Ron/Kelley board their flight with seconds to spare, the other teams are still in the airport. U/J and L/A talk about sharing with each other. Gretchen goes off to purchase a backpack but they're all too expensive. She asks for a senior citizen discount and find a backpack they can afford.

The other 3 teams board their flight. They are flying to Mumbai via Delhi where they must find a palace for their clue. The first plane arrives at 9:44 am. R/K and R/A are hiring taxis and are now competing with each other. R/K departs first, their taxi stops for gasoline.

The second flight arrives 9:52 am. They must go to a prepaid taxi stand, and find out 2 other temas have already arrived. U/J find a taxi stand inside for 330 rupees, they are being charged 400 rupees outside. U/J are in a taxi. L/A and M/G apparently are going to share a taxi, but are having difficulty communicating their desire to the taxi drivers.

Uchenna & Joyce got lucky and got some inside scoop. They managed to score their tickets from a less hectic counter inside.

If Ron relates one more thing to Baghdad, I'm going to hunt him down and slap him silly.

really don't understand the yield. There really is no point in using the yield unless you are 2nd-to-last or in a close three-way tie for last. No need to agitate teams if you aren't sure you will eliminate them. The problem is only made worse by the fact that TAR producers like to schedule Yields in non-elimination episodes.

R/K arrive at Steel Emporium. They are first to yield mat. A Yield may be used only once by a team during the course of the race. R/K choose not to yield. R/A choose not to yeild.

Roadblock: search 600 tin boxes for one of 10 containing a clue. Kelly and Amber are performing the task. They agree to holler if one of them finds one.

Amber finds a clue (tee hee). Travel by cycle rickshaw 3 miles to Aishbagh, find a gas station to find next clue. Kelly finds her clue. R/K talk about the luck R/A have and they should have yielded them. U/J arrive at Steel Emporium and Uchenna performing task. L/A arrive, Alex to search for clue. Alex is shaking boxes to see if anything is in them. M/G arrive last. Gretchen performing task. Alex finds his clue. Uchenna finds his clue.

This is so awesome. The driving scenes are awesome. In Lucknow, you have to dodge cows, cows and more cows when driving. Westerners are stared at everywhere they go. You will see whole families on those scooters and all 4 of them will crane their necks to watch you walk down the street.
When they all had to cover, had any of them been wearing shorts, they would have had to put a "lungi" (I think that is how it is spelled). It is the skirt that the men wear India. Most of the time you see them tuck the hem into the waistband, giving the material a diaper like look.

The difference between this and Hungary of course is that the twist seems pre-planned. The initial plan in TAR6, according to a post-race interview with one of the racers, was that there would be a pit stop after the train station/internet cafe. Producers had to change that in the last minute when they found out that begging was outlawed in Hungary.

If this really is two legs back to back (with no bunching! Bunching would defeat the purpose of a super leg), these racers perseverance and endurance will be tested.

The other interesting thing to keep in mind would be that it would be extremely anti-climatic to turn a two-part episode into a non-elimination. I think we are assured an elimination next week, with a non-elimination week to follow.

Yep, I knew I read somewhere about the "no begging" in Hungary.

I agree, this is an endurance test and I like it!

If we have an elim next week then eps. 10 & 11 will have to be 2 non-elims in a row (possibly). They could also have the next elim in ep. 10 this would avoid back-to-back non-elims.

Begging not allowed in Hungary?!! Maybe officially, which would be a problem with a production crew following you around drawing attention, I agree. But, come on... If begging isn't allowed someone needs to tell the Gypsy kids that were all over me in Budapest.

I always learn at least a little of whatever the local language is. I concentrate on the polite and the necessary (toilet, beer, etc.) but learn at least one or two impolite phrases to use if necessary. Polite didn't work in that situation. Only time I can ever remember telling locals to fvck off in their vernacular. That worked (and I learned a few more impolite phrases from them while they were leaving <grin>).

LAST EDITED ON 04-12-05 AT 09:52 PM (EST)

L/A find their first business card. R/A complete their task. They good-naturedly rib one guy who was pretending to be snother. R/K complete their task. R/A find the owner and return their cart. R/k come in second, right behind.

Make your way to 1-1/2 miles to the Charbaugh Multistory Flats and make their way to the roof. It doesn't say it's a Pit Stop. R/A are in a taxi, R/K are in a rickshaw. R/K are bickering. U/J complete their task and pass L/A filling their final cup. L/A complete their task. U/A arrive at tea stall and receive their clue. L/A receive their clue.

M/G finally arrive at the office building. They are given a little help in finding the persons on their lists. The guy takes the tea but isn't on their list, they find the correct person and get his card. R/A have a guide helping them in the taxi and up to the roof.

R/A are first to arrive. Phil has an additional clue. This leg of the race is not over.

....and we go to credits!?!

Actually, that was a wonderful segue. I think this "To Be Continued" works much better than last season's. As long as there is no bunching in the next leg, I'm all for this twist.

Extending the episode because they didn't want to rob the old couple twice in one season. Not only did they have a non-elim episode, they had a no-frikkin-consequences episode.

That would weed the weak and feeble ones out at the start.

Gretchen/Meredith are a slow motion car wreck using steam powered tractors travelling at 10 feet per minute.

Oddly facinating at first but soul crushingly boring after a brief time watching.

Get them off the screen...

IceCat, KO, and others:

I really don't see what the difference is between this and a non-elimination leg. Sure, the last place team won't get a penalty, but the penalty really is a sorry remedy to excuse the horror that is non-elimination episodes. The key of course is bunching. The producers have to make sure that this episode really does matter and has reprecussions on the second half of the leg. I have faith, perhaps misplace, that there will be no bunching next week. If this super leg is done properly, it will test these racers to the max and seperate the contenders from the bottom feeders.

... where the weakest team has lucked into an extension of their time in the game that has nothing to do with merit.

I'm a sick and tired of the old coots shambling their way across my screen every week. They should have a pit stop at a nice old folks sanctuary in Switzerland, forget to give them a wake up call the next day, and have the production staff and the remaining teams simply sneak out to the next day under cover of darkness.

The old farts wouldn't clue in for a week or so at least.

If they don't bunch in part 2 of this superleg, M/G are finished, and they can shuffle off to a geriatrics center, where they belong.

If they do bunch in part 2, then this entire episode sucked royally.

there is a HUGE difference between this two-part superleg and a non-elimination leg!

remember, we're not watching reality tv, but CBS/Bruckheimer/Van Munster's twisted version of reality tv.

remember one episode does not equal one leg. i agree that this is not saving the last place teams. it's making them work twice as hard on one leg, just to get eliminated "next week." they don't get the week break between legs like we do, they gotta continue.

that being said, i can't wait until you spoiler-extraordiaires get the caps up from the preview and analyze the daylight in Amber and Meredith's roadblocks.
