Ready for Ep 8?

speculation with the timeline is that this could be a NEL (non elimination leg) or a TBC (Too Be Continued) but with 6 teams left, probably not - again, speculation -

One poster at RFF is from the town where this episode takes place, and the clip with Mallory and Gary eating in a dining car takes place on a Ferris Wheel, because there is just one dining car - could this be a FF - they have to finish the meal before they go around? The Freud bed (Kent and Vixon's task in previews) and Ferris wheel are pretty far apart...

nope cant be a FF - the clue from commercial is > Confronted by a psychological Detour, teams try to avoid making a "Freudian slip" in the slick streets of Austria, and a hefty meal proves to be too big for some teams' stomachs

Gary says: "We got a lot to eat in 12 minutes"

Justin thinks it was a bad idea so it's def a Detour option.


DETOUR: Eat a meal of schnitzel on the Wiener Riesenrad within the time frame of one revolution/about 12 minutes OR Move Freud’s couch through the icy streets to the University of Vienna??

ROADBLOCK\ROUTE INFO: Get large book from castle that contains next clue, possibly first because of daylight quality

Pit Stop Villa Trapp 'Home of Sound of The Music'

posting:

In the caps: no.3&4 is a passage way through the Hofburg towards the Burgtor.

Cap No. 21 Salzburg Castle

Cap No 25 teams must pick up a book (perhaps in the Salzburg Castle) which the must carry to the final pit stop.

Cap 28. We see the globetrotters leaving their car inside the Hofburg in front of the Burgtor which is directly across the Burgring from the Maria-Theresia Platz and site of the Christmas Market and the Monument to Maria-Theresia.(You can see the towers of both the Fine Arts Museum (left) and the Natural History Museum (right) over the Burgtor.

Caps 36 and 37 - The Trotters running on the Burgring from the Maria-Theresia Platz (note the Kunsthistorisches Museum in the background which forms one side of the Platz) after picking up either the detour clue or route marker, perhaps toward the Freud Museum or University (but what did they do with the car?)


evidence of 4 teams ever making it to Salzburg. From the preview/promo screencaps from this episode, know that Jet/Cord and Kent/Vyxin get there. From previous spoilers know that Kisha/Jen and FT/BE get there. Whether Kisha/Jen and/or FT/BE were racing or acting as decoys is not known.

More info will surely come on Saturday - one thing is that so far TAR has shown teams in trouble are the teams eliminated...

Justin says ""We just had to grab a big book from a chick in Harry Potter." I think he means that the girl giving them the book looks like Hermione from Harry Potter."

They show Jet & Cord carrying a book, and commenting that " "there is no way anyone is behind us"

and so further clips will help determine more as if they are headed to the PS they could be in first for all we know. Sunset in Salzburg on that day was 4PM and we have no comparison as to what the daylight quality is for other teams as they head to the PS. (pit stop)

RFF moderator GP did a fantastic synopsis with pictures, she included some pictures that need further investigations.

We know the Cowboys were seen in the Delhi airport about midnight on Dec 5.

We know the Pitstop for this leg occured on Dec 6.

Austrian Airlines (codeshare with Lufthansa and Air India) have the direct Delhi>>to Vienna flight.

OS 34
Duration: 7h 38m
Dep 2:30 AM - Mon 06-Dec-2010
Arr EARLY at 5:39 AM - Mon 06-Dec-2010

Sunrise 0740

We see Zev/Justin in a car in the dark discussing getting a book clue.

So if this is after arrival in the dark...this then occurs in Vienna not Salzburg as we have been speculating.

So go collect a clue somewhere in or near Vienna:
cap406 cap0772

Receive book...take book to somewhere else (LIBRARY ?? ) >>receive Detour clue.

Get DETOUR clue from at or near this location?? Or are the Trotters finishing up here?

And proceed to Detour tasks:

Eat (food challenge on the famous Wiener Riesenrad (German for "Viennese giant wheel") Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt)
or Carry Freud's couch from Museum to Univ Vienna:


Then drive yourself to Salzburg

and proceed to the RB involving Chimney Sweeping

Then on to the Pitstop at the Von Trapp home/Hotel
Speculated teams who have trouble this leg:

Anyone doing the EAT Detour.... K/J, G/M, Z/J. Can ANYONE manage that food in 12 minutes??

If not, they must redo it, or switch Detours.

Ready or not Ep 9 ' We're Good American People Switzerland

Pit Start at Salzburg, before 6.00am
Train from Salzburg to Feldkirch, around 6.30am
Taxi from Feldkirch to Liechtenstein, around 10.00am
Roadblock at Liechtenstein: Moped measurement, around 10.30am
Taxi (or, a smaller possibility, bus) from Liechtenstein to Sargans, around 11.30am
Train from Sargans to Zermatt, around 12.00pm
Detour at Zermatt: Luggage or Fondue (Cheesy Costumes or Cheesy Cuisine - just a joking guess), around 6.00pm
Pit Stop at Zermatt, around 7.30pm

The RB is the Liechtenstein portion (moped task), so the Speedbump will be there too>>followed by train to Zermatt>>Detours (thanks Neobie!!) >>Pitstop (location to be determined).

Glacier tasks are for next week.

This looks like a very sad leg to be U-turned on.... not much time to play catch up.


other teams may get bunched up for Gary/Mallory to finish the speedbump and catch the same train to Zermatt. That would make sense for the W-turn since it will be everyone's game again in Zermatt and no unfair advantage to Gary/Mallory. It will depend on who finish the detour first and then find the W-turn mat.

Zev/Justin may get U-turned for the fact that they do a food task after all the Vienna experience.

(w turn = slang for double u turn)

I just love the maps the RFF posters create - Geography is not my strong suit!

map

again, all info found at reality fan forum

Sure- -why isnt this SAME warning posted on Survivor spoilers - pictures are c/p from Survivor Fever to that link - but no one wants any legal action against TVCH -

I was listening to the radio, i know there is a lawyer "out there" that makes a lot of money suing c/p things - and there are out of court settlements - (again money making) however, according to NPR websites are fighting back and winning...

interesting turn of events

I can't keep all of my Survivor Jennas straight. Is this the Jenna that left All-Stars early because her mother was dying?

And one of the other teams has had a person go around the world..Zac Sunderland and his father. Zac sailed around the world in a sailboat alone when he was 17. They made an exception for him though, as he's only 19...

I was never a big Jenna M fan, but I'm very pleased to hear Ethan is well enough to travel, as I'm sure he ran it by his docs before undertaking such a task!

As I understand it Jenna M. has been staunchly by Ethan's side through all his health problems -
