Press Release

Quote:

"We're Going Down The Wrong Side of the Freeway... and The Lights Are Off!"

One team is picked on incessantly by another, on THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, July 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

When one team nicknames and mocks another team behind their back, the targeted team tries to brush it off, but claims "it’s fifth grade all over again!" Meanwhile, teams face the prospect of a nightmare 26-hour train ride in filthy, boiling-hot train cars, with some wondering whether they really will be able to endure. Also, an awkward, desperate race to the pit stop finds two teams each opting for bizarre forms of transportation, where every move could be their undoing, and any turn can lead to either victory or defeat!"

One Team nicknames and mocks another Team behind their backs. Will the other Team take the abuse or formulate a harsh response?

An encounter at a train station moves one of the clowns to tears.

Teams face the prospect of a nightmare 26-hour train ride in filthy, boiling-hot train cars, with some wondering whether they will be able to endure.

An awkward, desperate race to the Pit Stop finds two Teams opting for bizarre forms of transportation, when every move could be their undoing and any turn can and will lead to either victory or defeat!




Here is my guess on what happens next week!

-leave pitstop in middle of the night
-get bunched a train station for 26 hour train ride to Kerala
-get cab in daylight to roadblock
-cattle race is the roadblock
-detour is choose between elephant ride and another "bizarre form of transportation" which could be one of these according the New India Times article. (posted on last page)


Quote:

Among the various activities the contestants will participate, includes a traditional bull race, carrying bundles of coir on elephants, riding a cycle rickshaw with chicken crates and a night on a rice boat, according to the letter of permission sought by Kavita Das Gupta, producer, Earthcare.




Bull race=roadblock
Detour=carry coir on elephants OR carry chickens on a bike
Pit Stop=on a rice boat
FF=maybe not taken, or info wasn't in article

Anyway, those are my guesses! But lord knows, I have been wrong before!

Wow, Clp, you've been verrrry busy!! Seems like they had a long train ride like that in India in TAR2.. I remember the cha chas and others.. one of the cha chas slept.. I can remember some teams putting bandannas or other scarflike things over their noses.

Clp, I am in awe. I'd be dead lost without you and Ginger doing all this work. You're amazing. Thank you.

Clp.........just got home through torrential rains about an hour ago after 4th of July Family Reunion. I didn't even get to see the show Thursday and I'm dying to read the spoiler that night to see what happened. I know M/S got eliminated from checking out the game threads.

Great images and captions........YOU ROCK!!!

I lightened up the shot of the cab on the wrong side of the road, to see if there is any tell-tale something or other in there......

I have such a hard time thinking of this leg as a non-elimination round. After all this stress and strain.......long train ride, riding elephants or cyclerickshaws with chicken crates, and being dragged through the mud behind racing bulls.....I think I would kill somebody at the end (at the Pit Stop) if they told me I did all of that at my fastest speed and it wasn't even an elimination round........

Wow,a lot of vidcaps! Thanks so much you guys. I guess it appears nobody is using the fast forward again. With everyone in the vidcaps,it's gonna be tough to guess who finishes first this week.

As for the fast forward;

David & Jeff - not used
Reichen & Chip - not used
Jon & Kelly - not used
Millie & Chuck - used
Tian & Jaree - used
Jon & Al - not used

Jon & Al would seem a good bet for this week, but we see them doing the cattle race roadblock, so unless it is a FF that comes after the roadblock, they probably don't use it.

Of the teams who have a FF left, the only ones not shown doing a task are David & Jeff and Chip & Reichen. I can't see either team using their FF this leg as they are in the lead.

Reichen and Chip are shown sitting on the train with Kelly and Jon, with Millie right on the other side of the partition........so I wouldn't count too much on Reichen and Chip (or David and Jeff) being in the lead, since they probably all bunched up for that long train ride.

This isn't really a spoiler, but thinking of the FF, when I finished last week's episode I was thinking that Kelly/Jon might be the next team to take it. Often, the team that is worn out or fed up will take the FF for a break. David/Jeff, Reichen/Chip, and Jon/Al seem to be going very strong. The other teams have used it. India seems to be hard on Kelly and the other girls. I just wonder if this is Kelly/Jon's week. Sometimes the FF doesn't gain all that much time, but depending on when the FF opportunity is, it may be a good week to use it.

I was thinking that too, until I saw the picture with Kelly and Jon on the elephant's back. I figured that meant they were in the race. I'm not always sure when the FF shows up. If it usually shows up after the detour, but before the roadblock, than this use of the FF makes sense!

It depends.. if the LONG train trip is early in the leg (as in Clp's scenario) and there are still tasks to complete, then I'd say a team who is exhausted and frazzled might happily snag a FF if they still had the option.

Could the elephant ride be part of a "Fast" forward task?

Elephants=bizarre transportation?????

carrying bundles of coir on elephants, riding a cyclerickshaw with chicken crates --- both seem like bizarre transportations to me....but, it appears that these two represent the options in the "Detour".

"Episode 8 Previews"

"ONE TEAM FEELS THE PRESSURE TO REVEAL A SECRET ABOUT THEMSELVES, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 4," THURSDAY, JULY 17

The Princess Reminded Me Of My Grandmother. She Was Very Old But Still Very, Very With It" – A team reveals an emotional secret, on THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, July 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

A heartfelt meal between the remaining teams finds one team struggling to reveal a deep secret that will move them to tears. Meanwhile, when one team tries to muscle their way into an airline office to eavesdrop on precious information which another team is receiving, they find a chilly reception as the door is closed on them. Also, while the other teams are flying out of India, one team finds themselves grounded after taking the word of a local that there's a better way to get to their next destination."

OK,a question,has anyone been watching the teams being interviewed on the Morning show on CBS? I saw the preview for tomorrow's show and Julie mentioned having the latest team eliminated on tomorrow morning. Does this mean anything,or no?

Were Monica and Sheree on last Friday? (July 4).. I must admit I haven't seen any of them interviewed on the morning show this season.

Hmm.. poking around CBS.com and early show section and then searching on Amazing Race.. got this..

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/08/earlyshow/leisure/main562253.shtml

and this clip of their interview, which had to have taken place.. hmmmmm

http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/videoplayer/newVid/framesource2.html?clip=/media/2003/07/09/video562360

And they also have the clip you probably heard and definitely say interview with the next eliminated..

Wow.. I may have to re-think this FF thing..

Hippyt

Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:17 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes,they were on. I went and looked it up to be sure. I'm with you,not sure what to do with the eliminations now.

Okay, what the heck? Are they not going to have as many non-elimination rounds? Two weeks now I've thought it would be non-elim nite. I thought I remembered Phil saying there would be 3 or 2 or whatever non-elimination legs on the first episode.

This definitely has the potential for some desperate races for a FF if more than one team falls way behind.

Yes!! Only Chuck and Millie cannot go for FF now.

Something to chew on:

In TAR 1, 2, and 3 the 8th Episode was a non-elimination Episode each time. Will it be again for TAR 4???.........Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!

"We're Not at Charm School Learning to How to Be a Gentleman, We're Racing"

With the use of "we" and "gentlemen" makes me think it is an all male team.

Jon/Al, Reichen/Chip, or David/Jeff

I am leaning towards Reichen & Chip.
