Absolutely. Plus the “Carry your teammate through a muddy obstacle couse” Detour.
WORD. Heavens to mergatroid, I would love that so very, very much. And it should be totally random fruit, too – like, grapes, then kumquats, then quinces, then carambolas, then … oh my lands, I’m positively atwitter.
Oh, right. Because of course a pair of terrorists would certainly turn up at an airport with an American TV network cameraman and crew.
I figure that most airlines having cameras pointed at them just might figure this would be a great chance to ingratiate themselves with the TAR audience and maybe get some clients. Heck, the pilot could’ve been a TAR fan. We just saw Rob & Kim beg their way onto a flight after the boarding had ostensibly been closed.
Maybe the airline won’t make an exception for Joe Schlub but turn up with a CBS camera crew and I suspect you, too, might find a path cleared for you.
Heh. I’d love to see the resulting Detour/Roadblock descriptions:
Detour: Fire or Water
In Fire, teams must travel three miles to the El Barra outcropping. Once there, they must build and ignite a watchfire using traditional flint and steel implements, while local nomadic tribesman pelt them from camelback with overripe apricots and sugared figs. The task is finicky and the fruit is sticky, but teams with skill and quick dodging relexes may finish quickly.
In Water, teams must travel six miles to the Al-Akha oasis. There they must carry twenty gallons of water in pottery jars one thousand yards from the spring to the cooling cellar. Along the way, ululating women from the local village will bombard them with tomatoes and pomegranates. The water is heavy, but teams that have strength, stamina, and resistance to bruising may finish easily.
