Could the "coveted prize" be the first carriage, or an earlier carriage? Rather than the fast forward?

PS - Thanks Alaginger for all your hard work! :)

From Ginger's post on the carriages: "Exact prices and the length of the ride must be negotiated in advance."

Maybe the "coveted prize" is that one carriage is already negotiated for, and the winner of the tag (or whatever it is they are grabbing for) gets to hop right into the carriage and take off, whereas the rest must haggle and negotiate with the drivers of the other carriages, thus delaying them a bit.

What really cracks me up about all of these pictures and clues is that we can usually tell "Where" they are going, and "How" they get there, and "What" the challenges might be, and "When" they are leaving or arriving....................but never "Who" is first and "Who" is eliminated.

This bunching is really the equalizer like you guys said. Last week was really a "buncher" and look what happened. This week Millie/Chuck are a train behind everybody else, yet they are foot-racing with Reichen/Chip who last week were in 2nd place.

I had a thought about the "foot race for a coveted prize."

Maybe it is just a race for first place. I would think that could be called a prize. I just don't see Reichen & Chip going for the FF as they finished 2nd last week and according to the post interview with Amanda & Chris, all the teams that did the roadblock were separated by 15 to 20 minutes.

Bringing in some vidcaps

1
Kelly & Jon in carriage like the one we have seen Millie & Chip fighting over. I am guessing this is the detour (choice between two options). Since they are both in it, it can't be the roadblock (only one can perform) and I don't think it is the FF as Kelly & Jon and Reichen & Chip are close to the front and don't need the FF yet.

2
Clowns in front of building.

3
Same building. It is the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria.

4
Sheree getting ready for the roadblock, which seems to be bungee jumping.

5
Comparing above picture, we can see that it is Sheree doing the roadblock.

I hope I didn't step on your toes Alaginger! I just wanted to join in on the fun!

Clp...........don't ever worry about stepping on my toes. I can use all the help I can get, especially this week since I have to crank out a newsletter for the women's club in a couple of days.

I took the picture you got of Kelly and Jon, shrunk it to fit the page better, and lightened it 2 shades so we can see better. They sure seem pleased with themselves.

kj

Now my only question is how in the world did Millie/Chuck catch up to the carriage ride with Reichen/Chip??? Oh, and I bet Sheree is just pleased as punch to get to do this Bungee-jumping thing (LOL).

Oh Man..........I had forgotten all about this. Now that I see the picture with the caption, seems I remember reading somewhere up above, but I forgot to take it into consideration making my picks. Well, I'm not going to change....

Steve and Dave take the wrong train.

Here is a post from another board from someone who has been to the palace seen in the vidcaps-


Quote:

I know I haven't been around here in a while, but when I saw Schonnbrunn palace in the preview, I had to post because I've been there and I had to throw this idea out.

In addition to the zoo and the greenhouse, there's also a very confusing hedge maze on the grounds, and it'd be so cool if this were the roadblock. The maze itself isn't all that huge, but it is very tricky and there are these symbolic male and female stones at the center of it. So my guess is that the bungee is one option of the detour, and the roadblock is the maze at Schonnbrunn. The "gazebo on steroids" that carencey mentioned is a short run up the hill from the maze, so that may likely be the pitstop. It seems like a perfect place for it.

As for the carriages, I have no idea. At first, I thought it might be the other part of the detour, but not if Jon was seen bungeeing and with Kelly in the carriage.




I hope they do the maze! Sounds very confusing, and therefore, would be very fun to watch!

I was wondering since Monica did the last roadblock for their team, if Sheree has to do the bungee-jump roadblock this week. But, seeing that Jon did the roadblock last week and is also doing the bungee-jump roadblock this week, I guess that is not the case. Anytime there is a roadblock, they get to decide who does it, and it can be the same person throughout the whole game.......right???

right. they just have to decide in advance of knowing exactly what it is they will be doing. it can be one teammate the entire race or they can take turns.

The CBS Website finally got it's videos working. Very interesting stuff.

The Promo video for this week's show is up, and it doesn't really show much more than we already know. Jon jumps off the tower like taking a backward dive off a diving board, and then the camera zips to Kelly on the ground, grabbing her breath and covering her mouth. Steve and Dave say they got off at the wrong station. Sheree says (about the bungee jumping roadblock) this is definitely the one I didn't want to do. Millie definitely says the show title line.

The two clips that were linked in the story of last weeks show that I told you guys I was blocked out of earlier this week, you can now get into.

"Teams Beg For Money". The video shows 3 teams in the streets of Vienna begging for money in order to buy lunch. Dave/Jeff, Reichen/Chip, and Monica/Sheree. They each get told "NO" several times, and one gal even tells one of the teams "You are American. American's Rich. You Rich".....or something like that. Monica/Sheree finally get a little money from a lady and both hug and kiss the lady. Reichen and Chip get turned down by an older woman, and then call her a b*tch after she walks off. Then they approach younger males and get a little lunch money.

Alliances. On the train going to Vienna, Reichen/Chip are sitting across from David/Jeff and talking about their alliance and that they have also agreed with Russell of Cindy/Russell and they should let the girls in too, speaking of Monica/Sheree. Steve of Josh/Steve sees what is going on and goes back to his group (alliance) and says they ought to try to all get along and share with each other, and Amanda says she has tried and all they do is shake their heads (speaking about Reichen/Chip). Steve goes back to the other group and introduces himself, shakes hands with Chip, and then Reichen and says his partner is Josh and tries to be nice.......walks off and Reichen says, really snotty like, "I like Wheezer and Geezer better" (Wheezer and Geezer is his nickname for Steve/Dave). When Steve gets back to his group (alliance), Chris looks him right in the face and says "Traitor"!

Pretty Heavy Stuff.........

Well,there's my MW bleep question answer,Thanks!

Hippy......don't forget the bleep part up above was from dialog last week that didn't make the show. However, I still think it's a good guess for MW this week for that question, and that's what I put down.

The Promo at CBS website right now is for the next show, Episode 3.

The other two videos "Teams Beg For Money" and "Alliances" are links within the body of the recap for last week's show, so all of that part was said last week.......it is over and done with. But I think it really gives us some insight to the fact that the guys don't get enough money to eat on sometimes, which maybe the show people are trying to give them a real taste of what traveling could be like.......but since the show doesn't put it on the air, I don't think it is something that would be received by the viewing audience very well. And the "alliance" conversation last week that we didn't get to see on the show, but was on the train sure told us who was grouping up with who.........

Actually, as of the end of Episode 2, there are only 2 teams that aren't on an alliance and that is Tian/Jaree and Kelly/Jon........but I think an alliance is going to break up this week, according to the promos.........

Wait a minute! Didn't Amanda and Chris get eliminated last week?

Alaginger, do you mean Chuck and Millie in your post at 3:57 pm June 10?

Alaginger

Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 01:02 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
JuJu.......if you are referring to the mention of Amanda and Chris under the section called alliances, those are statements they made last week before they got eliminated. I'm trying to show you guys things that were said last week that didn't get put on the show that might help show alliances that have been formed.

For those that didn't hear it, Steve (of Steve/Dave) said the words "Check Your Tires Because...Oh God, You Never Know What'll Happen!"
during the promo........talking to Tian, Jaree, and others about the race cars.

Has anybody noticed that the first three eliminations that we've had are male/female teams. Only two of those left....

Hmmmmm!!! I wonder if that is a clue....NAH!!!

I am going to thanks hippyt tonight for me getting anything right. I picked Steve and Jsoh for the FF based on hippyt noting they were not in any of the bungee jump promos.
