Theowl | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:12 am     Hi Ginger!! I'm glad you decided to stay!! There is never a dull moment!! I'm looking forward to your spoiling cause I can't do pictures and links. I know you're going to enjoy TAR. Thanks for sticking around!!  |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:14 am     From Metropolis Forums -- a post dated 5/12. Don't forget I have absolutely no idea of the validity of other people's posts ... but if I hear more support for or against worth posting, I'll drag it over here. 'Steve & Debra Carmody have pretty much told everyone they won AR4 - one of them sent out an email to everyone they work with stating "Thanks a million!" They also told a bunch of people that they "were in every episode."' |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:15 am     TY OWL!!! You guys have to let me know if I doing a "no no" or something, or if I'm way off track with my spoiling. By the way.......thanks for the cute emails!!! |
Theowl | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:19 am     YW Ginger. And I'm sure you'll do just great!!  |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:34 am     From TV Guide: Amazing Race 4 Cheaters Never Win --- And They Cheated! 90 min. The fourth edition of the race around the world for $1 million begins at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where the 12 teams of two learn their first destination: Milan, Italy. From there, the pairs travel to the Cinque Torri area of the Alps and must choose between searching for an object hidden in the snow or walking across a rope bridge and then riding a zip line between two high peaks. |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:36 am     I found these pictures taken at the L.A. Airport. Unfortunatly, my scanner software would not turn these into a .jpg format for uploading, so I'm going to see if they will upload like this......trial and error!!! Here we go!!! Edited: Okay, the 3 pictures did not upload because TVCH does not accept .bmp format it says. I'll keep trying.... |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:45 am     From Tim Ryan's Star Bulletin article for the week 2/12/03. Article was about the Chuck Norris show that is filmed in Hawaii, and this little blurp was inserted midway in the article. The CBS reality show "The Amazing Race," which pits pairs of contestants against one another as they race around the world to a final destination, slips into the Big Island this week for a day of filming, using a Maui production company ... |
Grannyg | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:49 am     Yea!! Alaginger!! This is my first time to watch this and I need all the help you can give. Thanks for taking the time to help AGAIN!! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:01 pm     alaginger, you rock. |
Hereiam | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:02 pm     Can we discuss spoiler info here too ??? When I read the one about Steve and Debra being in every episode - what clicked in my head was all the contestants are in every episode if you count the show intro. I guess I am not going to believe that one just yet. Plus, don't they sign contracts like the Survivor folks so if they reveal anything big they have to give up their first born or something like that. THANK YOU Ginger !!!! Great information! |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:20 pm     Hereiam.......you are absolutely correct. The place where I copied that piece of (ahem) spoiler, said just about the same thing in some of their subsequent posts, about the every episode intro and the contract breach. For right now I am parking that bit of information in the back of my mind as a possible spoiler to try to keep tabs on, and taking it with a grain of salt...... |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:29 pm     So far I have found these pieces of information, but I hope somebody out there is really good with geography. I'm not. Give me math, music, or english and I'm okay.......but geography or science....I such Big Time!!! 2/3 siting --- Kerala. I looked that up and it is in India. 2/4 siting --- Malaysia. Three of the teams sited and they were suppose to be Millie/Chuck, Steve/Dave, and Jon/Al. 2/12 --- per article I quoted above --- Hawaii My question ... (and please don't laugh, but I couldn't find the info out)... is Malaysia close enough to India for one to be 2/3 and the other 2/4? Plus there is an article about TAR being somewhere with 7 teams left ...... and I've lost that information. As soon as I find it again, I'll put it here for location and time. lso, there are a lot of clips on one of the websites taken from the Promo and it is quite obvious they are highlighting Kelly and the other Jon. This poster made a good case out of the fact that the ones usually highlighted in the Promo are usually not the first ones booted off, and are usually not the winners either. So, based on what I have found so far......I'm putting Kelly and Jon somewhere in the middle. And I'm not playing my points on the 3 couples mentioned above getting booted any time soon. It's at least a starter. |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:41 pm     Okay ...... found it. The article about 7 teams left, was the 2/3 entry above for India. Here is the article: Amazing Race is here for real life show K Sabarinath/ Shafi Rehman Alappuzha, February 3: It's a race around the world for a million dollars or more. It’s also the biggest show on TV that has the couch potatoes of the nation that sent Man to the Moon eating their nails. Recently, Amazing Race, the reality television show of the CBS Television of USA, entertainment conglomerate that produces the other popular reality television series Survivor, was here, in Kerala. In a reported $ 10 million confidentiality clause, the show, shot in locations in Kochi and Alappuzha, was done under a strict veil of secrecy. Sources said the Kerala leg of the adventure was the last in the country with shoots in Kolkata and Mumbai already completed. 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. John Abraham of Insight Tours and Travels, which conducts ground-handling services for visitors, called it an adventure tour programme that would boost tourism prospects of the state. When contacted, District Collector K.M. Ramanadan said a foreign company had approached him for permission a few weeks back. ‘‘But they never came again, nor did I give them a written permission,’’ he said. |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:59 pm     I finally got those 3 pictures taken at the LA airport at the beginning of the race to convert to .jpg format, so hopefully they will come up now.
Monica and Sheree The shirts show the NFL numbers!!!
4 guys sitting and visiting at the airport....forming an alliance? I think these are David/Jeff and Reichen/Chip
Picture is dark, but you can see Debra and Steve off to the right |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 01:07 pm     WHOA.........those pictures are huge!!! Sorry guys. I'll know better what to do next time now that I've figured out the first part of it....GEEZ |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 01:29 pm     A picture of Monica and Sheree. The spoiler who took this off the television promo said she feels it is Italy because of the two stores pictures. Since the first lap is Italy, it doesn't tell us much except they got there and they seem happy! |
Alaginger | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 01:31 pm     This picture is also from the 1st episode. Someone is being rescued. If you assume that if somebody has to be rescued, they lose.....then if you can figure out who this is, that might help. It looks like any of 6 gals to me....... |
Alaginger | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 06:38 pm     There is a discussion at SS that somebody in NYC is selling tapes of the first 2 episodes and that Russell and Cindy go in the first episode (presumably cheating caused it). Frankly, I think it is a set-up (hoax), but I promised to bring spoilers that I find here, so judge for yourself. I'm not buying into it! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 06:47 pm     Can we get this thing narrower, it is hard to read. Alaginger, you are amazing, you did a fantastic job in survivor and we are lucky to have you sleuthing skills again. Go get em girl, I NEED your help. |
Alaginger | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 06:56 pm     The reason it is not narrow enough is because I had a misread on the size of the first pictures I put in, and I have no idea how to go back in and correct that. Once we get this first page of the thread finished up, and go to the next thread, the width should correct itself. Sorry about that!!! |
Alaginger | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Additional, interesting information to use in making your guesses are found in the last paragraph of this article ..... Ginger - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Reality TV: The Amazing Race 4 Episode One Preview Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 14:09:48 PDT by Pammi TWELVE COUPLES BEGIN THEIR VOYAGE IN A RACE AROUND THE WORLD, IN A SPECIAL 90-MINUTE PREMIERE EPISODE OF "THE AMAZING RACE 4," THURSDAY, MAY 29 "Cheaters Never Win and They Cheated!"– Twelve teams start off on the race of a lifetime in a quest for $1 million in a special 90 minute episode of THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, May 29 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series. The 12 new teams include circus clowns, a set of moms whose husbands play for the NFL Atlanta Falcons, a couple who have been dating for 12 years and are still virgins, and a pair of models from Miami. In the premiere episode, the teams set off on the first leg of the race starting at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles before quickly making their way to Milan, Italy. Several teams form alliances with each other, causing tensions to rise, while another team almost misses their opportunity for a night’s sleep. Some teams embrace the thrill of zip gliding, while two other teams question if they can keep up physically with the race. Several twists occur as teams confront major obstacles on the way to the pit stop. |
Alaginger | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 05:50 am     I got this off of another website, and it is referring to the title for Episode 2. I thought it might give us some insight as to who didn't get eliminated in Episode 1, since it sounds like something two large guys might say --- like Jon/Al or Steve/Dave.
