TV Guide Spoiler for 11/14 show
The ClubHouse: Archives: TV Guide Spoiler for 11/14 show
Crazydog | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 09:44 am   Here's the 11/14 TV Guide listing - Amazing Race The Unexpected Twist 60 min. Teams encounter tigers in a pit where a clue is located; two teams compete for an advantage that only one can win. Phil Keoghan is the host. OK, there is no show on 11/7 because of the Country Music Awards. According to this listing, it would seem highly likely that the "advantage that only one can win" is the Fast Forward. The only two teams that can compete for this are the Guidos and Nancy/Emily. That means that tonight's show will be a NON-ELIMINATION leg, unless one of Frank/Margarita, Rob/Brennan or Kevin/Drew go out. My speculation is that after tonight, given the previews, the Guidos and Nancy/Emily are the last two teams, prompting them both to try for the Fast Forward on the 11/14 show. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 11:42 am   Also, I am sincerely hoping that the "unexpected twist" is the Guidos getting ELIMINATED. For Nancy and Emily to get eliminated would not be unexpected, as we have been thinking it would happen nearly every week. "All I want is to see the face / On Bert and Ernie when they're last place / Then they're no longer in the race / Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?"   |
Grooch | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 11:48 am   The unexpected twist - The Guidos actually become nice people, apologize and play fair? |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 12:17 pm   Grooch, you need to learn the difference between unexpected and unfathomable. |
Grooch | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 12:20 pm   *Grooch pinches Lance's checks* You are just so adorable at times, Lance.  |
Crazydog | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 12:55 pm   I thought that on the preview for the episode where Jerri got voted out, they characterized it as "a shocking twist of events". Please please please be the same! |
Muse | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 01:09 pm   Lance, if Team Guido was going to be nice, I'd think it'd be in tonight's episode by helping Nancy and Emily purchase tickets. I don't think they'd become any nicer than that. In fact, I can hardly believe that they'd be willing to help out another team at all, *especially* when they make a mistake and fall so far behind. But anyway - I don't see them being all that friendly in the 11/14 episode. Not unless they both suffer serious head trauma somewhere along the line, and have a sudden, dramatic changes in personality. No episode on 11/7 makes me angry. Two weeks without a new episode. *whine* I do agree that they must be referring to the Fast Forward, and that it probably means that tonight is a non-elimination round. I also think, sadly, that Team Guido will probably get the Fast Forward. They don't seem like the type that would go for it if they didn't think they'd get it, and they usually move a little quicker than Emily and Nancy anyway. Of course I'd be THRILLED if I was wrong (especially if that meant that Team Guido got eliminated!) Tigers in a pit...where would they have that?? Hmm. I bet it's relatively safe somehow so they don't have to risk being injured. I doubt the show wants to see a contestant getting mauled by a tiger. |
Badgercubs | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 01:20 am   I think the MOST surprising thing would be if the team that FOUND the fast forward still got eliminated. That would suck for whoever it was!!! |
Judy | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 07:25 am   My thoughts exactly Badger!! That is exactly what I think-that the Guidos are going to get their greedy little hands on the fast forward and then commit a fatal error that eliminates them. Muwhahahaha |
Grooch | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 07:30 am   I love it!!!!  |
Crazydog | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 08:29 am   Looking at the preview, can anyone speculate what's going on in the Fast Forward. Emily dropping coins madly into a series of buckets at some temple - maybe an offerring to get in. Emily and Nancy running one way and Bill and Joe walking quickly the other. Did anyone see if Blonde Guido had the red FF in his hand? We have seen them run even when they did not have to. Does anyone else think that they got the FF and have this "let's not let them know we got it" look. OH, that would make me mad. If indeed they get the FF, is it really possible to screw up SO BADLY that they get eliminated? The FF allows you to skip an entire Detour/Road Block - I just don't think it's possible. Host voiceover at end said something like "a series of mistakes ends up costing one team dearly". Clips of Drew and Kevin arguing and Brennan saying that they could be in last place. Again, I think this means both of those teams are safe. We have seen time and time again previews which lead us to believe one team is eliminated and they have not been. One team missed the train and the scene of grandparents. Kevin and Drew: this is gonna cost us 12 hours. Rob and Brennan have taxi trouble. Guidos and Nancy/Emily are approximately six hours behind the other three. One of them gets the FF. How could one of the three lead teams screw up so badly as to lose six whole hours! That is a lot of time. Consider that in arriving in Agra, despite everyone's problems, there was at most 1.5 hours between Guidos and Nancy/Emily. If N/E get the FF and Guidos are not eliminated, that would be bad because then Guidos are the only ones left with the FF. I still submit that for the Guidos to get the FF and Nancy/Emily to be eliminated is not "unexpected", using the language of TV Guide. Therefore I speculate that either 1) Nancy and Emily get the FF and the Guidos are out, or 2) Guidos get the FF and somehow are still out. Even with the FF, they may not be able to catch up to the other three to make up the 6 hours. It is difficult to imagine that a team which gets a FF could still finish behind the team that didn't get it. I predict #1. Tigers....we saw they are young tigers, but Frank still gets swatted by one. Looks like they may be going to Thailand? |
Judy | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 10:07 am   I would imagine that taking a flight whose connecting flight gets cancelled-that can even happen twice in one trip - is a real possibility. I am just hoping that my guess is right- what a way for the Guidos to go!!! |
Kitt | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 04:53 pm   The six hour time advantage might not be unsurmountable as the next challenge could be one where they have to wait for something to open, like this week's Taj Mahal one. I think it's the Guidos who lose the FF and are out. And I'm going to keep on saying it in the hope it comes true ;-). |
Crazydog | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 08:10 am   Kitt, me too! The Guidos lose the FF and are out. I'll say it with you for the next 10 days! |
Fifi | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 10:43 am   I think the six hour time advantage that F/M, Frat bothers and the Lawyers have will mean alot because when those 3 teams checked in to the pit stop, it was nighttime. After the 12 hour wait period they will leave in the daytime - when most landmarks etc. are open. The Guidos and Momily checked in early in the day. They won't depart until night time, when buildings etc. are closed. That's why I think that 6 hour lead will mean alot. That's why I also think that whoever loses the fast forward race (Guidos or Momily) will not be able to catch up to the others. I'm guessing the fast forward has something to do with that building/temple and them dropping coins in the pots. That buidling is probably not open late at night (in fact, when we see the Guidos and Momily running frantically dropping coins it was daytime). So let's assume this scenario: The top 3 teams depart at say....10am (we know it's sometime in the day). They all go off and look for the next route markers etc. Since it's daytime, they are not hindered by buildings being closed. The only thing that could keep all 3 teams bunched up is having to wait for a plane or train. Guidos and Momily depart at say....9pm at night. Both teams goes for the fast forward but the fast forward requires them to wait for that landmark temple (where they drop the coins into the pots) to open. They can't save the fast forward and carry on looking for the route markers like the top 3 teams because where they have to go doesn't open til the morning. Basically, both Guidos and Momily are screwed and can't make up any time unless they go for the fast forward. By the time they go for the fast forward, it's already the next day and the top 3 teams already have a huge time advantage over Guidos/Momily. This is why I predict that whoever loses the fast forward will be *so* far behind the other teams that they will not be able to catch up at all. And the surprise would be for the Guidos to lose the fast forward. If Momily loses the fast forward, I don't think any one of us would be surprised (bless their hearts!). I've never actually written down my predictions before so I soooo hope that I'm right!! My predicted order of finish on 11/14: 1. Nancy/Emily (because they found the fast forward) 2. Frank/Margarita 3. Rob/Brennan 4. Drew/Kevin 5. Bill/Joe Oh how I so hope this turns out to be true!!!! |
Gail | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 10:45 am   I am actually finding this show more exciting then Survivor. |
Crazydog | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 11:22 am   Fifi, I'd be happy if that's how it turns out. The only flaw in your logic I see is that the temple they are going to the FF for is in Thailand, and they're shown doing it during the day. I think the first leg of the journey will simply be to get from Deshnoke to Thailand, probably by train. Then they decide to go for the FF. Maybe the Guidos and Nancy/Emily take an overnight train to get to Thailand by the day? I would be VERY happy with your order of finish. |
C1mag | Monday, November 12, 2001 - 05:15 pm   Well we can eliminate that a canceled flight or ticket would be the cause of a team losing because this was not their mistake and it is suggested that any errors or mistakes that are made are made by choice not circumstance. I'm going with the belief that the FF winner is the team that makes a mistake. I think it could be Guido's running out of money. My fantasy moment in regard to the FF is if Mom and Em lie and yell that they have the FF even though they don't and then maybe Guido would stop looking and leave the area so our girls could continue looking for the FF. I'm beginning to think I could play this game  |
Larissa | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 04:25 pm   C1mag..what a great idea!!! I would never have thought of that. You would definitely do well playing this game.  |
Hippyt | Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 08:38 pm   Well,it's an interesting idea,but as much as I dislike them,I don't see Guido giving up that easy! Getting to the fast forward isn't easy,once you get there,I'd think you'd be sure someone wasn't duping you. Especially after the frat brothers had them on the roof of those huts.They play the game too smart to actually fall for it. Although,I must say,I would LOVE to see that happen!!!! |
Nessietessie | Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 09:37 am   Maybe the guidos miss a connection, get into a big argument, break up, and get lost. |
