Sure it does Twinks,it means if they haven't taken the FF yet,and they aren't on tape doing anything,that there is a greater chance they take the FF this show. Nothing brilliant about it,but I usually get the FF questions right based on this.

11.04 04.01 Tian & Jaree FF taken
01.08.05.02 Millie & Chuck
07.06.06.02 Jon & Al
04.10.02.04 Monica & Sheree FF taken
09.02.03.05 Reichen & Chip
10.05.07.06 David & Jeff
06.03.08.07 Kelly & Jon
05.01.09.08 Steve & Dave FF taken

It does look like of all who still could take the FF, R/C are the only ones not seen in the above listed clips... hmm.

So, are R/C the only ones you think will use the FF or do you think nobody at all will? And isn't it possible that they just chose not to show any footage of R/C to throw us off? I'm not making my picks until I've seen another commercial or 2. LOL

Sorry there aren't any vidcaps from all the promos. I have been all over the web and nobody has posted any for this week. I know Alaginger and I use the same "source", but nothing this week! I will keep looking right up till showtime though!

alrighty this is a test.

I screen captured the CBS website preview and I have no idea if they look good or what their size will be, so I am testing one before I go through and crop them all, if it works, I will paste them all in a little while.

Here comes a loooong post, but I figured out how to screen cap the online preview!

"When the Amazing Race teams land in Amsterdam..."
1

2
Kelly and Jon reading a clue in front of the Maritime Museum

"Catching slippery, live eels is the least of their problems..."
3

4
Steve in the eels - Roadblock?

5
Al doing the eel Roadblock, Jon cheering him on

Jon: "Pick it up!"
AL: (screaming) "Arrgh!"


6
Al dropping an eel

7
Al in eels, you can see someone on the left writing something - someone keeping track of how many eels they pick up?

8
Clowns on a plane, Jon has on the same hat as in eel roadblock

"The clowns dig for clues where you wouldn't want to..."

9
Clowns digging in the manure pile

Jon: "Ewwwww!"

10
Jon taking of the manure clothes, looks like 7 or 8 pairs of boots - are those boots waiting to be used? Jon and Al in the lead?

"The NFL Wives may need a miracle...
Sheree: "Why is this car not moving?"


11
Monica and Sheree pushing stuck car - same Mercedes wagon as used last week - is this shot from first leaving pit stop or do they drive all the way to Amsterdam - driving distance approx. 1,200 km or 11 to 12 hours

The Models may need a referee...
Tian: (said to Jaree) "I want to hurt you right now!"


12
Tian and Jaree fighting in boat

"Oh yeah, someone get strapped to a giant, rotating windmill..no kidding..."

13
windmill - Fast Forward? Voiceover doesn't say "teams" but "someone"

14
Jon and Al reading a clue - that statue in the background is the only thing I haven't identified yet - I'm still looking

15
Millie

Tian: "Amsterdam sucks."
Jaree" "I like Amsterdam."


16
Tian and Jaree fighting in boat - again

"The all new Amazing Race, CBS, Thursday."

17
Millie and Chuck running along the canal

So, from the previews we know-

-Reichen says the title quote
-Looks like Tian and Jaree play kiss and make nice
-We see all the teams, except Monica & Sheree
-The Roadblock is carrying fish(?) on your head
-The train looks scary

From the episode description

Quote:

"I Could Never Have Been Prepared For What I'm Looking At Right Now" – Some of the women have to fight off advances from the men in India, on THE AMAZING RACE 4 Thursday, July 3, (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

(1)On the crowded trains of Bombay, the women are less than pleased by the close interest they receive from some of the locals.
(2)Meanwhile, having faced recent, deep strains in their relationship, one team forges a surprising new attitude and works together to overcome the past.
(3)Meanwhile, one team pursues a risky flight option that all the other teams refuse."




(1) Looks like at least, Kelly, Tian, and Jaree aren't loving the train.

(2) I'm guessing Tian and Jaree have the new attitude.

(3) Since we don't see Monica and Sheree at all, I'm guessing they take the "risky flight" - so it either puts them ahead or way behind.

Let's not forget (I think it was)Jaree's quote "Get your hand off my boob or I'll throw you off this train!"

Aaaaand, thanks for playing, I was wrong.

From the CBS website:

Quote:

Reichen & Chip pursue a risky flight option that all the other Teams refuse. Will it give them an advantage, or will they regret it forever?

Having faced recent, deep strains in their relationship, one Team forges a surprising new attitude and works together to overcome the past.

On the overcrowded trains of Bombay, the women are horrified by the reception they get from some of the male locals.




So Reichen and Chip are the risky flight takers. But unless there is another flight in this episode, besides the one to India, it must not matter at all since we see them in the preview doing tasks.

But where in the world are Monica and Sheree?

Just got in this afternoon. I sure wish I could have seen this thread before I made my picks before leaving. I definitely would have been able to make a better pick for FF.

Awesome job Clp. You have learned the technique....fantastic.

Now we need some pics from Episode 6.....

3. Kelly/Jon
4. Reichen/Chip
5. Monica/Sheree (Took an FF previously)

Snooping around and so far have only seen a couple of things worth reporting.

1. Over at the CBS website, in the review of last week's show (Episode 5) there is a video clip of Chip speaking (in accolades) about Jon and Al. Mostly he is talking about their comedy and humor and how they handle stressful situations with humor, whereas Chip says he and Reichen are both stressed people and they could learn a lot from Jon and Al (especially since Jon and Al are now in 2nd place).

2. Over atThe Amazing Race Sucks, there are no pictures yet of Episode 6, but somebody says in the body of their post that the previews show Chip (of Reichen/Chip) and David (of David/Jeff) doing the roadblock at the same time. Thought this might help somebody with their picks this week, and as soon as some pictures come up, that will be helpful.

Press release for Episode 7:


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!"




The team doing the nicknaming has got to be Jon and Kelly and the team being picked on would seem to be Millie and Chuck. Seems like two teams we can say are safe in episode 6. But I am leaning towards episode 6 being non-elimination because of the India spoiler that says they raced 2 legs there. I am going to try and find the India spoiler, because I don't think it has been posted here in a while.

Here is the article from The New India Press


Quote:

ALAPPUZHA: It's a race around the world for a one million dollars or more. The biggest show on TV that has the couch potatoes of a nation (and they by ratings are a legion) that send the first man to the Moon, eating their nails.

The Amazing Race, the reality show of the CBS Television of USA, an entertainment conglomerate which produces the other extremely popular reality television series Survivor, is here, in little Kerala.

Under a reported $10 million confidentiality clause, the show to be shot in locations in Alappuzha and Kochi, is done under a strict veil of secrecy which would have done the Pentagon proud.

The Kerala leg of the adventure is the last in the country, according to sources, with shoots completed in Kolkata and Mumbai. The high-end thriller will have seven teams of two contestants each pitted against each other and the clock, informs Earthcare, the Delhi-based company coordinating the shoot in the country, in a letter written to the municipal council of Alappuzha asking for permission.

The programme also had received the clearance from the Ministry of External Affairs, subject to clauses, and will be previewed by the Embassy of India, Washington, before climaxing on prime time television.

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.

The WR Production company, an associate in production, has already rented 1.5 acre of paddy field at Pallathurathi for Rs 20,000 for conducting the race. Eight pairs of bullocks, belonging to professional bull racers from Kottarakkara who were paid Rs 2,500 per head for two days as racing charges and rent, have already conducted trials.

"The money is a pittance. This money can only pay for transport charges," says Sudhi, one of the racers who participated in the trials. They have also shown concern when they were told that women would participate in the race. "I have never seen a woman participating in the race in my 25 years of racing career," says Kumaran who took part in the trials.

Meanwhile, eight elephants for the race have been rented from Cherthala, Alappuzha and Kollam. Dr Jacob Cheeran, veterinary doctor and expert on elephants, will be around to give technical support for the race.

Michael Norton, one of the accompanying production crewmembers, said that his employer Opel Productions, subsidiary of Ominicor Inc, was working on a contract with the chief producer. He maintained that the shoot was for an eco-tourism video.

John Abraham of Insight Tours and Travels, which conducts ground handling services for the visitors, said that Saturday's programme, a trial of the show, was an adventure tour programme which would boost the tourism prospects of the State.

District Collector K M Ramanandan said that a foreign company had approached him for permission a few weeks ago. "But they never came again nor did I give a written permission," he said.

This is not the first time that the Amazing Race is being shot in the country. In 2001, the CBS had shot for the programme in Agra, Jaipur and Bikaner.

The executive producers of the programme are Jerry Brucheimer known for his films like Pearl Harbour, The Rock and the television programme CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Bertram van Munster of Cops and Wild Things.




So, according to the article, the leg in Kerala is the second leg to take place in India. Episode 6 is next week in India, Episode 7 should be in India, also.

The article also says that 7 teams compete in Kerala. After episode 5, there were 7 teams left-
1 - Millie & Chuck
2 - Jon & Al
3 - Kelly/Jon
4 - Reichen/Chip
5 - Monica/Sheree
6 - David/Jeff
7 - Tian/Jaree

So, if there were 7 teams in episode 7 and 7 teams left at the end of episode 5, it seems that episode 6 is non-elimination.

I agree Clp.......that's what I thought about last week because of the 8 elephants and the siting of Steve/Dave (which turned out false). So, I guess non-elimination, and was wrong. I think I'm going to do it again.....thanks for the info!!!

-Picture of some suffering kids.
-Reichen/Chip in taxi or bus: "I just didn't know it was this bad."

-Jon or Al balances something on his nose.

Commercial Two

-Reichen/Chip get off of a bus.
-Millie looks worried.
-A plane lands.
-A train is packed with people on it.
-Jon or Al is carrying a basket over his head.
