Okay,I'll start, Haven't the last two weeks previews also mentioned Danny and Oswald taking a different course,all saying do they fall behind? ROFL
Hopefully Wil wil screw things up this week!
This is the part I really wanted to talk about! The Sydney Harbor Bridge is gigantic,and very tall. They conduct walking tours to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge(over the traffic)! It's something I've always wanted to be dared to do! I'm sure this is what they will be doing next week. It's just to good of an opportunity to miss! I think Wil can do this,it's just a clue to what the road block is going to be.
And,since we all know the first hour is non-elimination,and in Sydney,even if Wil slows them down,they'll probably still have a chance to catch up.

Can they carry the camera? I thought they made you leave everything on the ground, no change, watches, etc and then you had to get in a jump suit. And have we no pitty for the poor camera man if they do let him carry it up.

Hippy, I'm not sure that Sydney Harbor Bridge is necessarily in episode 1.. I remember seeing something about shopping in Hong Kong, which might be part of the first epi.. but hard to say.

I don't know Saidesmom. Maybe not,but when the Olympics was in Sydney,one of the corespondents did it,and they let a cameraman follow him up. It looked pretty darn scary!
That's a good point,Seamonkey,I had forgotten about the shopping. Either way,let's hope Wil blows it!

Yes, the important thing is for Wil to blow it :)

AMAZING RACE 2
Wednesday, April 24, 9/8c

A Special Two-Hour THE AMAZING RACE 2!

The field is down to five teams with the elimination of Mary and Peach and the already high stakes seem a little bit higher as the five remaining teams race from Hong Kong to Sydney, and from there to the Australian Outback. And to make matters worse for two of the teams, the failure to follow instructions is a major setback on a special two-hour episode of THE AMAZING RACE 2, Wednesday, April 24, 9/8c.

Ok...now we have strategy coming into play.
Will/Tara and Blake/Paige are the only two teams with a Fast Forward available to them. Next ep will not be elimination, so do they use it next leg, or leg after?
pluses and minuses of each:

USE IT NEXT LEG:
+Would probably end up in first for the leg
+Depending on where the Fast Forward is placed, could build up huge time lead, maybe enough to get them in final 3
+Can risk fighting for it, since leg is nonelimination
-Might have to fight other team for it
-Would defintely mean other team would use it following leg
-Never know if bunching would occur, losing lead

USING LEG AFTER NEXT:
+Would guarantee you final 3 spot unless you made major mistake
+If team used it leg prior, you would know you had no competition for it
+Could save strength for final 2 legs
-If team didn't use it leg prior, would have to fight for it
-If you lost the race for the FF (if both teams could use it), if would most likely mean elimination


Personally, I would use it next leg; remember, so long as you beat one other team, you're safe, and you would have 2 teams behind you at the start (knowing you would be beaten by the other team for sure because they would then use the FF)...

What would you do?

*Chris/Alex/ff (6) (2)(7)(7)(1)(6)(2)(2)(1) 35

Paige/Blake (4)(9)(5)(4)(4)(3)(5)(5)(2) 41

Tara/Wil (1) (3) (2)(3)(3)(5)(3)(4)(3) 25

*Oswald/Danny/ff (8) (7) (1)(1)(6)(4)(4)(1)(4) 36

So Paige and Blake and Tara and Wil still have ff to take as they go to New Zealand. The problem with the FF is that with all the mind games.. I'm using it no I'm not.. they may either both go for it, or neither.. and these two teams will be leaving quite close together in time.

Obviously Will didn't want to bungee jump but pretty obviously he did.

Much will depend on flights.. Chris and Alex will leave much earlier but that will only hold if they can get an earlier flight to Kiwiland..

Paige and Blake certainly handled their adversities WAY better than Wil and Tara tonight.

I was SO glad to see the back end of the nerds.

Remember the Guidos. When they used the FF, they ended up losing big time. (Course that was their own fault in that they got too relaxed and assumed the FF would help them more than it did.) The way I remember it is that their FF was not as helpful as some other ones were. Maybe cuz it was near the end of the race. Anyone remember more details on the Guido's FF?

I was wondering if anyone noticed how much time Chris and Alex gained by using the FF this week? The editing always makes it hard to tell,and my tape cut off before the end. Didn't look like they gained a lot,but I couldn't really tell. Danny and Oswald were moving pretty fast.
Wilson,I'd definitely try for the FF next leg.

They normally don't give times of arrival until the next episode as they are leaving.

Well let's see

Everyone had to drive to the first clue, then they had to golf or mine and that took at least a half hour, there was something about a 26 mile drive. then there were the relatively unsuccessful boomerang throws.

I figure a couple of hours.

But what they did get was out of the heat and misery. The next step they will be wating for the charter flights and they will all be bunched again.

The flights in were only 15 minutes apart so that basically put them all together.

This bothered me the first season Sadiesmom,but without the bunching this would be boring!

I think we all learned that buching is good when the teams split into two time frames and the show tried to show it in real time. It was so annoying to have a show with one set of people operating in ine time frame and when they finsh to see the rest of the teams go through the same steps and fall a full day behind.

Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE:

-The final four Teams race to avoid a last-place finish and final elimination before the home stretch to the finish line.

-Wil makes a decision about the future of his relationship with Tara.

-Teams rappel down the world's highest rappel in the "Lost World" caves of New Zealand.

-A race in campers involves several quick maneuvers to outwit each other in order to get off a ferry first.

Race to the Pit Stop?!? Sounds really exciting but if all 4 teams race, I'd have a feeling Team Cha Cha might be last.
Just a feeling.neko

I heard that we should watch for Danny and Oswald's camper to take out some lights in this episode..

Huh,what do you mean Seamonkey,they crash the camper???

Well I don't think they crashed it, just ran into some lights :) Said to be VERY funny.

Those guys are funny no matter what they do! I would hate to see them eliminated as they provide a much-needed light tone to the show!

Oh,lol! I hope they don't lose this week either,but I have Neko's feelings!
