Just finished watching. Did I miss D/O in the boats, or were there some hidden tasks?  ???

KEY NUMBERS BY JOE BALDASSARE ON THE EARLY SHOW

Earlier Arrival of intersected Dustin/Kandice and Mirna/Charla about 25 minutes

Time for Joe (half-Polish) to eat Kielbasa 20 minutes

Time for eveybody else on his intersected teams to eat Kielbasa 35 minutes

So, this means it took D/K and M/C 1 hour to finish

also, Joe claimed it took 8 hours on the dhow DAR to ZNZ

Kilimanjaro=Arusha airport

Here's the departure Lounge!



PEACH:
There are two airports on either side of ARUSHA. One is ARK, the small airport pictured in your post. The other is JRO, Kilimanjaro International Airport, which wasn't there when I was a travel agent (and may not have been there when you last traveled in that area) since it was built in the late 1990s. JRO is modern and beautiful from what I understand from my research.

You are absolutely right, and I'll add a photo just because...

But I was travelling on about a dollar a day so no planes for me!

But that Coke bottle cracked me up--we need one here in the Coke capital!

EPISODE 7 FLIGHT INFO

Here are my best reconstrucions of the flights that all teams took from Zanzibar to Warsaw. There was an extended 36 hour rest stop confirmed by a clock in Kilimanjaro International Airport. All flights in Africa and to Europe were on Tuesday Dec. 5 except for the one taken by E/D and J/B out of JRO. All Europe flights were on Wed. Dec. 6.

Dustin/Kandice
PW340 departed ZNZ 1230 arriving JRO 1500
ET804 departed JRO 1830 arriving ADD 2050
ET706 departed ADD 2340 arriving FRA 0515
LH3300 departed FRA 0740 arriving WAW 0915

Uchenna/Joyce
PW731 departed ZNZ 1315 arriving DAR 1355
SA189 departed DAR 1530 arriving JNB 1815
SA260 departed JNB 1910 arriving FRA 0555
LH3300 departed FRA 0740 arriving WAW 0915 (Note: they did not actually make this flight and the next flight is 2 hours later, so this is an enigma)

Charla/Mirna and Oswald/Danny
KQ493 departed ZNZ 1445 arriving NBO 1630
KL566 departed NBO 2025 arriving AMS 0530
LO270 departed AMS 0740 arriving WAW 0940

I have some very interesting flight information that indicts the travel agent who did the flight arrangements for Eric and Danielle out of Zanzibar. The Guidos had no choice given their "get to the airport ASAP and take anything" mode but to copy what Eric and Danielle were doing. What those teams actually did was to fly to Kilimanjaro International Airort (JRO) onTC7909 departed ZNZ 1955 arriving JRO 2045. What they were attempting to do at JRO was make a 10 minute connection to KL571 for Amsterdam. Any travel agent knows that a minimum bookable connection is much longer than 10 minutes anywhere in the world, so that was an illegal connection to start with. I am totally unsurprised that the KLM airplane captain was not interested in compromising his schedule to accomodate the 4 travellers on that basis.

The really strange thing is that KL571 was travelling first to Dar-es-Salaam before going to AMS and it was not departing for AMS until 2305. There was a Precision Air flight from ZNZ PW451 departing 2120 arriving DAR 2140 that would have been an easy and legal connection. It looks to me that the travel agent cost them big-time, as KL571 arrived AMS at 0710 and might have gotten them on the same connecting flight to WAW as C/M and O/D departing at 0740 arriving 0940.  The next later flight was KL1363 departing AMS at 0915 arriving WAW 1110, which still would have been a huge improvement over what actually happened to them.

You can clearly see some are wearing vests and holding the Roadblock clues :grins:. Guess TPTB thought it was lame?

Can you imagine the editing monkees......"hmm, let's see we can keep these 7 minutes of rowing in the dark down a 50 yard reflecting pool,... or we can put in the "Sausage Eating" & "Little Person walking around in a Knight Suit" bit......."   :funny:

Question regarding Eric & the Sausage Eating - Knowing that the Guido's couldn't leave until he & D had finished, & knowing that D sometimes gets a little flustered, does anyone else think that maybe Eric PURPOSELY ate at the EXACT pace as D. (To prevent her from feeling pressure - from Guido or anyone else).    :hyper:

 I know i would have done that with my wife (& 2 feet of sausage would merely be an appetizer for me).   :yess:

That really would have been risky on Eric's part especially not knowing what the Roadblock was or where the Pitstop was. Only one person knows the truth about the sausage and that will be a good question to ask him once the race is over.
