Teams arrive at the penthouse of a skyscraper, only to discover that they must descend down the side of the building from the balcony...face first.

A harrowing Roadblock requires teammates to stay calm while retrieving a clue from a tank teeming with huge sharks. That's easier said than done, especially for Reichen, who's already in the water.

Kelly & Jon prod Reichen & Chip in order to make them lose their cool.

A small mistake results in a penalty. Will it be Heather & Eve all over again?


Episode 12 - "He's A Few Ticks Away From Having A Heart Attack!"}

*Press Release
"ONE TEAM USES HUMOR TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD OF THE RACE,BUT GETS THE OPPOSITE RESULT, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 4," THURSDAY, AUG. 14

A team's effort to inject humor into the competition backfires, on THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, Aug. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

When one team tries to "lighten up" dour competition, a sour response is all they get, causing divisions to grow even deeper. Things turn serious when one reckless teammate overturns a dune buggy, causing it to flip and roll over several times. Meanwhile, one teammate becomes furious when his partner runs over his foot with their car."

well from the ep 12 release, it seems the Clowns make it into the final three....They seem to be the team most likely to try to lighten things up a bit.

I don't know Wilson, the clowns do seem likely for levity, but Jon keeps cracking wise so to speak. I could see Jon or Kelly trying to joke around and it coming of as their usual snarkeyness (is that a word?)

I think it's too obvious that the clowns would be in the final three if they refer to "lightening up". Also, why would anyone have a negative reaction to the clowning? I think it's more likely that it's Jon and Kelly teasing Chip and Reichen (like the nipple pinching or the skinny legs comments) and they are met with a negative response.

I could also see the Goats trying to find a personality and show some humor. No doubt that would hit a brick wall too.

I've had a negative reaction to the clown's clowning all season.. just so inappropriate at times, wrong audience, or blatent camera-grabbing attempts.

So I can definitely see that if I was one of the last few teams racing under stressful conditions with a large prize at stake and someone started clowning or snarking at my expense.. I'd probably morph into DANA and be "so Pissed".

Finale Title is up

So,
Episode 11 - "Such a Nice Pheremone Smell to You; Just Makes Me Want to Stay Close to You"

Teams attempt to descend face first down the side of a skyscraper. Later, they are required to retrieve a clue from a tank filled with sharks. Phil Keoghan is the host.

Episode 12 - "He's a Few Ticks Away from Having a Heart Attack!"

One team's attempt to use humor to lighten up a competition backfires; one player overturns a dune buggy; a competitor runs over his partner's foot with a car.

Episode 13 (Finale) - "It's Like Adam Building His First House!"

The fourth edition of the 45,000-mile race around the world concludes as the final three teams dash to the finish line in the western U.S., after stops in Australia and Hawaii.

So it is Austrailia! Hawaii, again.

Thank you so much everyone for explaining the pictures here. I don't know if you read it, but I asked the Mods if they could do something, because for the whole last week before the last show, I couldn't get into the spoiler thread. It must have been because of the pictures and my dumb, stupid WebTv. Now that they are separate, I still can't get into the picture thread, but I can read about them here. I appreciate it so much, and thanks again!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!

Rumor:

(Jon/Al) is in NYC right now "visiting family".....take it for what you will.

According to the poster, Al is the one in NYC.

You guys are awesome. It makes dh mad when I tell him I alrady knew they were going to Australia- or when I told him a month ago that Reichen and Chip win some money(I suspect)

CBS website clues for Ep. 12-


Quote:


(1)It's down to the final 3 Teams, and the rivalry is at a fever pitch. When one Team tries to "lighten up" their dour competition, a sour response is all they get, causing divisions to grow even deeper.

(2)Things turn serious when Jon's dune buggy flips over at the Roadblock.

(3)Chip runs over Reichen's foot with their car.




Well, they give them all away except the first one. I think it is Jon and Kelly poking fun and Chip & Reichen again. I also think Jon says the title quote ("He's a Few Ticks Away from Having a Heart Attack!") in reference to their reaction.

I will be putting up vidcaps as soon as the CBS site puts them up!

Wow ...... I can't believe they gave us all that information.

Episode #12 is suppose to be a non-elimination round, and also the Fast Forward is no longer usable. If anybody sees or hears anything different than this, let us know!!!

Crazydog

Friday, August 08, 2003 - 06:33 am EditMoveDeleteIP
The fact that they are telling us that "things turn serious" when Jon overturns his dune buggy tells me that it is a red herring. Nothing will come of it.

Alaginger

Well.......I'm confused. The preview says that Jon rolls over in the dune buggy during the Roadblock........so the dune buggy racing is the Roadblock (only one player from each team).

But we see Kelly running with the kangaroos and we see Kelly and Jon riding horses, so I can't even ask if these are detour choices, because the same players are in both. Is it unusual for the last couple of shows to have multi-challenges, or add-on challenges, or something?

Also, Clp.......wasn't there a picture in last nights preview of Reichen complaining to Chip that he ran over his foot. I thought I saw that zip by and heard Reichen complain.....just curious!

Crazydog

Friday, August 08, 2003 - 03:54 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
The kangaroos and horses don't necessarily have to be Roadblock or Detour tasks. They could just be things the teams have to do to get the next clue. Just like last night when the teams had to go to that kite place and pull down a clue from a kite.

And yes, Reichen was the one that got his foot ran over. There was a shot of it.

From the CBS website preview, it looks like they have to feed an alligator in that nature reserve. I think maybe the kangaroos are just scenery as they run for the next task. The dune buggy seems to be the roadblock, unless they do it one at a time like the rappelling last ep.

Maybe the Detour is Feed or Water - feed an alligator or lead a horse to water. Who knows! I will have the other vidcaps up sometime tonight.

Someone found this on another board.

Here is a photo gallery from Off Road Rush in Port Douglas, Queensland, AU. If you look at some of the pics you can make out what seems to be a TAR flag on the top of the winshields and you can see a cameraman in the background of some. I will post the pics in the pic thread. The date stamp also correlates with the filming of the latter part of the race (Feb. 2003). I really think this might be the place.

We have two options for the wildlife area seen with the teams running through the kangaroos.

1. Wild World


Quote:

Do you want to cuddle a koala, or pat a crocodile? Perhaps you hope to hand feed some kangaroos and chat to cockatoos. Maybe you're interested in kissing toads and wrapping yourself in snakes. Whatever you fancy, Wild World is the place to visit.

Crocodile Show
Here's another scary performance. Watch the resident saltwater and freshwater crocodiles at feeding time, but from a safe distance of course. Wild World's crocodile handler talks from within the crocodile pen about the amazing life cycles and history of the only remaining legacy of the dinosaurs. These incredible creatures are captivating as they devour their lunch. The largest crocodile at Wild World is “Sarge”, and he has been at the park for more than 20 years and is 5 meters long.

The Kangaroo Paddock features more than 50 tame Eastern Grey Kangaroos that you can pat, feed from your hand, and take photos with.




Wild World Official Site

2. The Rainforest Habitat


Quote:

The Rainforest Habitat is a wildlife park of the future and world leader in mixed immersion exhibits. It is situated on eight acres of land that has been recreated to provide a window into our natural environment.

Visitors can wander through four different and unique environments that depict over 180 species of the surrounding rainforest, wetlands, woodlands and grasslands.




The first one, Wild World, seems more likely only because the other doesn't mention an attraction with kangaroo interaction or feature reptiles.

The vidcaps from the CBS website preview aren't done yet, but it shows teams feeding a lizard or crocodile.

Hey Clp.......great job, as usual!!! Thanks a bunch....Pictures are great!

In case you missed it, the previews already tell us that the dune buggy thing is the roadblock:

(2)Things turn serious when Jon's dune buggy flips over at the Roadblock.

when the teams feed the crocs, i have a theory that this could be austrlia zoo, home of the famous crocodile hunter steve irwin. his zoo is just north of brisbane and close to beerwah. in the pic in the Amazing Spoiler Pictures thread, it shows david feeding a croc and there is a leg to the left which looks like steve irwin because he wears those boots and those short khakis. just a guess, what do u guys think???
