Talk:The Amazing Race 9

message: The table of finishes lists 12 legs. How do we know this race is 12 legs? I don't remember a source for that. Is that what we just start all of the race tables at and add and subtract as needed?TeckWiz 14:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since the past two "normal" TAR seasons have had 12 legs because of the removal of a non-elimination point (thus creating a superleg), setting the table at 12 legs probably is the simplest decision. It can always be changed later. -- SonicAD (talk) 15:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 12 Legs?

message: No plans to include a list as which team picked which Detour or which racer performed a Roadblock in each leg? --Destron Commander 03:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We have which racer performed how many but not which ones. We could only do that if someone remembers which team did what Detour and which person did what Roadblock from every leg of the race. If not, we'll wait to the Amazing Race 10.TeckWiz 13:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the amount of info presented right now is about right for a TV series article on Wikipedia.  I would wait until WP:TV's guidelines are finalized to see how such detail should be managed. --Madchester 15:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

text: What would be good is a very small table that had that info. I know Zron, a recaper on TARflies does that. They're pretty small tables, and a good size for the page. And if they look to big when you first find them look carefully because some info we don't even need. Like the Roadblock table says record for amount of Roadblocks done by each member. We don't need that because we have it in the leaderboard. The only question is...can you make small tables like that on Wikipedia?TeckWiz 11:26, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about a Detour table like this. It's very small. The only problem is I don't know how to make the lines continue even when there is nothing in the box. (Since Ray and Yolanda only tried one detour the other box is the blank space)
             	          	
Team         	Motor Head	Rotor Head
Fran & Barry 	*         	x
Ray & Yolanda	x         	
* An "x" is the task the team completed it
* An asterisk means the team switched to the other task
Also, here is a Roadblock table
             	
Team         	Person Taking Challenge
Fran & Barry 	Barry
Ray & Yolanda	Yolanda
If people agree with me we can put tables like this on the page. Anyone have suggestions or comments?TeckWiz 00:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I completely agree that these charts should go on the page. I am willing to look back at the old episodes on tape and provide the information, however, I would need someone else to put it into chart form, as I dont really understand wikipedia charts. -Reuvenk[T][C] 20:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again, I advise waiting until WP:TV's guidelines have been finalized.  The working guidelines suggest brief plot outlines; additional tables would be too much, considering that there is already a leaderboard in place. --Madchester 20:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Aleenf says the city count has been fixed to 24. I think it's only 22, going by the Wikipedia page. So either Aleenf UWAFanatic05 made a mistake, or the page is wrong. Here are the cities I counted:
Denver, Sao Paulo, Brotas, Moscow, Stuttgart, Bad Tolz, Geiselgasteig , Munich, Palermo, Castellammare del Golfo, Segesta, Catania, Siracusa, Rome, Athens, Corinth, Nemea, Rio, Muscat, Sur, Al Hawiyah, Nizwa
What am I missing. And if I'm not, once I'm told that I'll fix the page.TeckWiz 11:19, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for TeckWiz, I haven't done the cities count. So, you may be found the wrong person. Cities count is alwalys done by the other person. Thank you. Aleenf1 06:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Teckwiz I apologize for the incorrect number of cities.  I was including Morrison, the suburb of Denver and also Frankfurt in Germany.  Please revert the count to back the way you had it if these should not be counted.  Also, I counted Perth and Fremantle as the only two cities visited in Leg 8, so that would make it 24 if you do not count Morrison and Frankfurt.  Again, I apologize for this problem.

thread_title: Cities Count

message: Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that it's fairly reasonable to include a link to Google Video's section for The Amazing Race 9, as that's where CBS makes episodes available for rental. It seems to me that since that's a place where one can get the episodes on the internet, legally, it would be an appropriate site to link to. I was being bold and added it, but it got reverted fairly quickly, so I'd like to get some opinions before adding it back in case I've aimed off target here. -- SonicAD (talk) 06:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, didn't see that. Sorry, then, thought it might have been a good idea. Thanks for the correction. -- SonicAD (talk) 06:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but Google video is the only place to legally buy an episode, so it is pertinent. Just my $0.02. -Reuvenk[T][C] 20:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: There are no links to the Season 1 or 7 boxed DVD sets on their respective Wikipedia articles.  Likewise, there are no such links to DVD sets on other television or film articles, since they're in violation of WP:NOT.  Wikipedia isn't supposed to be providing adspace for products or services. --Madchester 20:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I didn't check Google video but if they don't anymore here is a possible explanation:
About a month ago CBS started CBS On Demand. It offers CBS shows for dowload on your computer for about $0.99. It started with only Survivor: Panama, and has not changed since. However, probably at the start of The Amazing Race 10, they will start putting the Amazing Race episodes on CBS OnDemand. If CBS could make money off their own site and not have to pay a commission fee to Google, they will make more money. So, in probably planning to put it on CBS On Demand, they took it off google video.TeckWiz 20:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: For the second time in Race history, a Travelocity trip has been awarded thanks to a "gnome". It's also the second time this season a prize has been awarded to any team and not just the first place (although the first time it happened to be the first place team. When the first two teams check in Phil said they would be in the final 3, meaning it was an elimination, which made me think what would happen if the last place team won the prize. What if Monica and Joseph had the golden gome? What would have happened?TeckWiz 01:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: In the Post race trivia section, one piece of trivia states: "Eric/Jeremy and BJ/Tyler have continued to socialize since the end of the Race. (Warning: NSFW [Not Safe For Work] Link) [Empahsis added]." Should that really be in the article? Maybe, make a footnote with the link, and in the footnote, put the NSFW warning.

message: In TAR 9, only four teams ever arrived first at a pit stop (The final three all did, and Fran and Barry). Has that ever happened before in the race? I'm not adding it to the article because I cant verify it, but I think its a first. -Reuvenk[T][C] 04:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not a first. In Season 5, Alison and Donny won the first leg, and every other leg was won by one of the final 3. 128.230.13.64 23:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: * Looking back at Talk:The_Amazing_Race_9/Archive_1#Straw_poll_on_removal_of_country_flags, it's a good thing that the flags were not removed from Wikipedia articles, given the final Roadblock.  Fortunately we have editors here who aren't so narrow-minded.  Congrats to everyone who contributed to the article for this season.  --Madchester 06:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

* On Leg 11 Detour, one of the addresses BJ & Tyler visited was the offices of Gonzo Animation, with its logo prominently shown when the team received their clue.

I've visted a few cosplay discussion sites, and they are complaining about the 20 second exposure of Gothic Lolita on the show. I'm assuming that this is what their talking about. Does anyone have screenshots to prove this??--293.xx.xxx.xx 01:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: A trivia item says that E&J were unuable to attend the Da Vinci Code premiere in Cannes, but the Prizes section indicates they were going to attend the premiere in Hollywood. Which is correct?
:The film "premiered" in Cannes instead.  There was no Hollywood premiere, since screenings for the film were rather limited so that it's plot wouldn't be leaked. --Madchester 22:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Q. What does TTOW-- the catchphrase you spoke often -- mean?
Tyler: It's like the Chinese word for good time. It's our power call.
BJ: It's a word we like to say because we both have shirts that say TTOW that we bought when we were in China. It was the first time we traveled through a country together in 2002.
