Hippyt | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:59 pm     Thanks Juju,you're welcome. That is the one thing I am good at, figuring out who does the FF. I stink at everything else,lol! |
Clp | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 11:03 pm     Next week's preview at cbs.com
Quote:Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE: When Steve & Josh argue over money, unresolved issues boil to the surface. Reichen & Chip and Tian & Jaree jump to the head of a line, sparking an explosion of accusations and threats of slashed tires. The line-jumping incident forces Tian & Jaree to confront each other about the way they play the game. Chuck faces a bout of claustrophobia in a small racing car.
Oooh, Dad & Steve have money issues! T&J and C&R jump a line - we seem to have a lot of petty behavior this go around. We already saw Chuck & his panic attack. |
Clp | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:08 am     Here are some pics from the preview, it shows the bunching at the car argument next week
Vidcap of Steve & Dave, Tian & Jaree, and I think Dave, Jeff, and Reichen. note, last place Steve and Dave are with mid pack teams, so there is some bunching again
Same scene, we can see, Steve & Dave, Tian & Jaree, Steve & Josh, either Dave or Jeff, and Sheree. note, now we can see Sheree and Steve & Josh, the top two teams, so major bunching The signs in this pic say "Mourepiane" and "Terminaux Crosieres". I Googled them both and I think "Terminaux Crosieres" means something like cruise terminals. Mourepaine seems to be a port in or near Mareilles, France. It is a port where cruise ships depart and it is a gateway to the Mediterranean. Here is a pic and I think you can see that gray building in the foreground behind the teams.

Hippyt | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:12 am     You're a pro,Clp. Thanks so much. |
Alaginger | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 05:57 am     Good Job Clp. I'm not the least surprised about Reichen/Chip jumping line because they have already shown that type of gamesmanship, plus last night the clowns caused them to lose the tag on their carriage, so they are probably out for revenge! But, I am a little surprised about Tian/Jaree. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I hate to see Josh/Steve squabble over money after they did such teamwork last night with the waiter/tray routine. At least we know they are "Good Buddies" still because they were at the Las Vegas Premiere together, all happy and smiles. And......Millie with Asthma, and Chuck with Panic Attacks.......I don't see how they is going to last the whole game...... |
Alaginger | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 06:37 am     On The CBS Promo for Episode 4: Phil: At a high-speed Roadblock..." One team member must ride in an Indy car. So this is a Roadblock
There is another person in the racecar, and since it is a Roadblock, only one team member rides...so they must have their own drivers, and not have to drive the racecar themselves.
Chuck is the claustrophobic Chuck: “I’m feeling cagey and hot” Phil: ... Chuck has a panic attack.
Millie is supportive, but tense. Millie: "C’mon Chuck ya gotta hustle." |
Alaginger | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 06:44 am     According to information at another website, the visible teams in the clips above by CLP are: "Visible teams in this sequence are Steve/Dave, Tian/Jaree, Dave/Jeff, Jon/Al, Sheree/Monica, Reichen/Chip." as CLP said, definite big-time bunching I wanted to point out here that there are two car incidences next week......so you don't get confused doing your game points. The racecar incident is separate from the "Showdown at the Ferry" scene.
Tian walks away from the group… Tian: “I’m not even getting involved in this conversation.”
…but eventually ends up in the nearby car.
Steve: "Just check your tires when you pull out cause, Oh God, you never know what’s gonna happen."
Then he gives the girls the "thumbs up" sign with a click of the mouth. |

Odds to Win The Whole Thing: Reichen & Chip 3/2 David & Jeff 4/1 Millie & Chuck 6/1 Jon & Al 6/1 Steve & Josh 6/1 Steve & Dave 8/1 Tian & Jaree 8/1 Kelly & Jon 10/1 Monica & Sheree 12/1 |
Alaginger | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Question: Does the Roadblock always or usually come towards the end of a show, or does it sometimes come first? The captions I picked up from the Promo from last night, show the racecar thing first (Roadblock) and then the ferry thing second. The quote above that Clp got for us, shows a sequence that suggests the ferry is first, and then the racecar (Roadblock) is later. This, IMHO, could make a big difference because if the ferry thing is first, people could get lost trying to get to the racecar thing, and the rankings could change. If the racecar is first, then there is serious bunching at the ferry, and those off the ferry first with a vehicle would make it to the pitstop first. I tend to think the racecar thing is not first. Ideas??? |
Tabbyking | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:47 pm     usually the roadblock is not the first thing, but it wasn't 'always' the last thing in earlier races as far as i can recall. with 2 or 3 things to do between each pitstop, i seem to remember the roadblock being the second or third thing to complete, most often being the one right before the pitstop. does that sound familiar to anyone else? |
Dreamweaver | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:54 pm     That's how I remember it also, Tabbyking. Plus they may not show the promos in the correct order. Just a thought |
Alaginger | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 02:31 pm     That would make more sense to me. Something like, get there by bus or train or whatever... then have to actually get to the challenge place by ferry and you have to have a car, so they fight over the available cars. So some can't get across until the ferry comes back for more cars....causing some to be later than others; however, once across they have to find this place where the racecar thing (roadblock) takes place....so those that arrive on the ferry will not necessarily be the first ones to the racetrack??? Complete the racetrack and then hustle to the pit stop (and Chuck is having a panic attack). This sounds to me about like the sequence the show might take! |
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 06:54 am     Most of the spoilers at "The Amazing Race Sucks", where I got my pictures, seem to agree that the next Episode is something like this. The teams have to get from Austria to Marseilles (possibly in a car). To get to Marseilles you have to cross by ferry (still with a car or that is where you pick up a car --- one or the other). The racetrack event appears to be LeMans which is just north of Marseilles. |
Pamy | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 11:12 am     I think I remember the road block is usually the last thing they do before racing to the pitstop. |
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 02:23 pm     I have an entry I may on May 18th. Here is an except from that, and I'm thinking this sounds like Episode 5 where they mention manure. If that is the case, and only 7 teams are participating, that means we lose one in Episode 4 and we have 1 take a FF in Episode 5, which would only leave 7 teams. Of course, if this clip is not referring to the manure promo hint, then I'm way off base. Here's the clip. "......The thriller has seven teams of two contestants each; pitted against each other and the clock; said Earthcare, the Delhi-based company coordinating the shoot in the country, in a letter written to Municipal Council of Alappuzha seeking permission. The programme got the go-ahead from the MEA, subject to clauses, and will be previewed by the Embassy of India, Washington, before being aired on prime time TV. Among the activities the contestants participated in were a traditional bull race, carrying bundles of coir on elephants, riding a cyclerickshaw with chicken crates and a night on a rice boat, said Earthcare producer Kavita Das Gupta. I have never seen a woman take part in a cattle race in the 25 years of my career,; said Kumaran who took part in the trial runs. Eight elephants were rented for the race from Cherthala, Alappuzha and Kollam. Ginger: So.....8 elephants, only 7 teams means somebody took the FF and the 8th elephant isn't needed or TAR hired a spare. |
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 02:27 pm     Also, don't forget there is a spoiler out that that says 3 teams were spotted in Malaysia the day after the India thing, and supposedly they were Millie/Chuck, Steve/Dave, and Jon/Al. Remember that all of this is just spoilers and based on what people think they saw .... so we have to take it with a grain of salt. |
Not1worry | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 03:05 pm     I don't know where else to post this question: Does anyone have a record of which episodes were non-elimination episodes from the last 3 races? That might help determine which ones they will be this time. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 04:09 pm     Believe it or not, I do. I was keeping it to myself, but since you ask:
| Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Week: | 6 | 6 | 8 | Week: | 8 | 8 | 9 | Week: | 10 | 10 | | Week: | | 13 | | |
|
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 04:39 pm     So, based on past experience, Episodes 4 and 5, which we are about to place our picks on, have all had eliminations in the past. So, the 7 teams for the manure with 1 team taking FF, makes even more sense. Thanks Puttergirl.....and thanks Not1worry for asking the question...... |
Puttergirl | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 06:39 pm     On the table above, I should have put Episode, instead of week for the Amazing Race 1. For Amazing Race 2 and 3, the official websites say that the non-eliminations were on those "LEGS" of the race. So, Alaginger could you please look at it and tell me what week or episode you think they were. You're good at this sort of detective work!!! Here are the links to see for yourself: Amazing Race 1 Amazing Race 2 Amazing Race 3 Oh, I also missed one non-elimination week- it was Leg 12 of Amazing Race 3 |
Not1worry | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 07:20 pm     From the photos above, can we theorize that David/Jeff, Tian/Jaree, Jon/Al,& Reichen/Chip do not take the FF?? It would seem that if you took the FF, you wouldn't be involved in the roadblock scene. The other teams shown have taken it. That leaves Kelly/Jon. Not saying they take the FF, just that they don't seem to be at the roadblock. They could be finished with it, or way behind. Desperately trying to draw SOME sort of conclusion here. |
Hippyt | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 07:38 pm     So,no mention of either Jon/Al or Kelly/Jon in any previews,or and pics of them in the vid caps. We could have a week where 2 teams go for FF. |
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 09:48 pm     Don't forget the roadblock is the racetrack, and we only see one couple there...Millie and Chuck. So, obviously Millie and Chuck did not take the FF. If the FF comes before the ferry to get into Mersailles, then you could conclude that the teams Not1Worry mentioned did not use the FF. But if the FF comes up after the ferry ride, then you can't assume that. Somebody else smarter than me with past seasons of TAR will have to guess if the FF would take place before the ferry scene, or is it feasible that it could take place after the ferry scene. For instance, if couple xyz got across on the ferry so much later than everybody else, and found the next box and it said head to LeMans to the racetrack or take the FF and go straight to the pitstop, then discounting those in the bunch picture would not be a good thing to do. Anyway, that's my take........which doesn't help to make a pick.........sorry!!!a |
Alaginger | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 10:08 pm     Yea, Puttergirl......after looking at those summaries, I can see how it can be confusing since some of the shows have 2 legs to it, but they call them Episodes. AR1 - Non E - Episodes 6, 8, 10, 12 AR2 - Non E - Episodes 6, 8 first leg, 9 AR3 - Non E - Episodes 8, 9 second leg (or you can call it 10 since there is no other 10 listed) and 12 Summary AR1 had 3 Non E shows AR2 and AR3 each had 3 Non E shows None of the Non E shows happened before Episode 6 |
