EP10: 11/30 'You're Gonna Get Me Killed'

[makz3d]

I've watched the video of Nick & Starr up to the mat.  I've paused it a lot.

I seem to only see 1 possible hug between N/S.  Other than that they seem stiff.  This is totally unlike their other 5 first place finishes.  Things like fist in the air, many hugs,  jumping on Nick.  For 1st place finishes that aren't as important as Final 3 they, especially Starr, showed a lot of emotions.

I know a still photo wouldn't show excitement but the video doesn't seem to show excitement.  I mean this is the final 3.

Puddin, Peach or anyone else that communicated with Robyn.  Did she make any mention about the level of excitement on the part if N/S?

I have been thinking this for a long time that they look so stiff.

Speedbump done at Sokolniki Park i think .....

   Yay!, puddin finally found it.  Good job! ...and to think I looked there before... damn  

[Boingo]

   Here's the latest leg 10 locations, just for you peach.   

[georgiapeach]

Boingo!! JUST what Maps needed!

[georgiapeach]

I don't Know if this had been posted yet in this thread, but if you look behind Toni in both of the images we have for the roadblock you can see Ken and Star. I guess this is where they get passed by them?

Oh NICE NoluckBoston!! I don't think we had seen that, very nice indeed.

to RFF, glad you are here!

[NoluckBoston]

Thank you!

Here is some further info on losing your passport in Moscow.

In Russia, the loss of a passport is a serious matter. Without a passport, a traveler can face significant difficulties with hotels, banks and the police. In addition, you must replace your Russian visa as soon as your receive your new passport.

If you lose a passport while in Russia, you must do the following:

    * Report you passport lost or stolen to the Russian police. You will need a police report to carry with you until you replace the  passport and visa.
    * Report the loss to the U.S. Embassy or nearest Consulate General.
    * Complete the Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport and submit it with your application for a new passport, together with Application Form DS-11, fees, and passport photos. In addition, please bring the police report and any photo identification.
    * In the case of a child's lost passport, both parents must appear with the child. Please see our section on Passports for Minors.
    * Once you have your new passport, you will need to apply for a new Russian visa.

noluckboston, who gets passed by toni

[NoluckBoston]

From the thread, it looks like Toni and Dallas are the ones to get passed by. At least by Nick and Star.

is that Dan in the background in the first picture

[jose]

sombody already posted that,a nd yes that looks like dan

[michael]

but dan is wearing bright yellow

[jose]

ohh ur right, but coudnt they put on a jaket because it was raining like ken and tina

[NoluckBoston]

However in the splash pictures he is wearing a dark colour jacket.

[michael]

However in the splash pictures he is wearing a dark colour jacket.

oh, then it probably is dan!
which means all teams are eqaulized at the roadblock 

[jose]

i just new that   

[jose]

metro

in one of those pictures there is that lady that is talking talking to tina i wonder what she said

[Chateau d If]

Nice work on the park find Puddin!

which means all teams are eqaulized at the roadblock

That shot has them at the House of Bulgakov sometime after the the down pour.  The House of Bulgakov isn't the Roadblock.  The Roadblock is at the Sculpture Garden where Dallas has to figure out which bust is Stalin

[michael]

so what's happening here then if it isn't the roadblock?

[jose]

“Bulgakov’s House”

it is a road block because the box is right there

[georgiapeach]

Looks like Dan to me!

Now this gets to be a puzzle since we know Dan/Andrew have almost no $$.

So do they beg some at the start of the race? Is production generous?

So teams go to the Submarine to get their clue, we think first, right?

Why are we seeing half of each team waiting here at the museum? Is the sculpture garden only part of the Roadblock?
Clue Box does not necessairily mean Roadblock but seems like it is from Toni's comments about Dallas not knowing his history.
From Boingo's map the musem and the sculpture garden aren't all that close together.



We have to assume D/A wouldn't be bunched here too if they had already done the speedbump.

So then probably the Speedbump after the Roadblock, to give D/A a chance to catch up during the Detour.

And Detour last before the Pitstop, right?

[Chateau d If]

I am sorry. I didn't mean to imply he would be on a private jet. I meant that he would be going commerical. He just would be traveling alone or possibly with one asst. He would have to leave after the last team to arrive at the mat and with Dandrew......who knows when that will be. I was thinking it would have to be later in the evening....after 6 pm to even leave the pit stop to head to the airport in Moscow.

I am not sure I articulated my point properly. With only one exception(see below) flights from Moscow will not reach Portland if leaving after 220pm. There just isn't enough traffic across the Atlantic to send planes east to west in the early evening. Working backward, the latest flights that can reach Portland from an East Coast gateway city would probably be

CO784  1906 2227  EWR PDX  or  DL741  1915 1101  JFK PDX

So the next step is to find appropriate flights to EWR or JFK from suitable gateways in Europe like Frankfurst, Paris, London, Amsterdam and Helsinki as well as from Moscow direct. Gateways departures that can connect above after 220pm are:

LHR JFK  1515 1815  BA113
LHR EWR  none within Newark conect time
AMS to either JFK or EWR nothing
CDG to either JFK or EWR too tight a connection
FRA to either JFK or EWR nothing
HEL to either JFK or EWR nothing
SVO JFK  SU316  1555 1820

Since you can't possibly get from after 220pm in Moscow to London instantaneously to make the above connection, that can be ruled out. We are left with the Areoflot 316 flight leaving Moscow at 355pm to connect with DL641 leaving JFK at 1915 as the only possibility. That would give Phil another 95 minutes vs. the 220pm flight.

So does this mean that Phil has to fly with the leaders of the pack to get to Portland?  That would work since he does not have to go to all the clue points.  They could have him do the standups later, after the finish.

But it rained during their Speedbump dance.

It can't rain more than once? I am puzzled by this because I just do not believe that Dan/Andrew can do the dancing Speedbump and still catch up with all the teams at the Museum. The Museum must come first, imo...

Tell me again what time the rain came, please? And are we completely sure it only rained once? It sure looks grey still.

Is there a chance of any time shots?

[puddin]

Nice work on the park find Puddin!

That shot has them at the House of Bulgakov sometime after the the down pour.  The House of Bulgakov isn't the Roadblock.  The Roadblock is at the Sculpture Garden where Dallas has to figure out which bust is Stalin

I see, for some reason I thought they were nearby, thanks Chateau. Toni's voice over though standing in front of the flat .."I'm not sure if Dallas knows who Stalin and Lenin is ...."
So a 2 part Roadblock? something at the flats then they have to figure out where the park of sculptures is per web clue and what to do there ?
Whats across the street from the flats guys?

I should have known from Boingo's map ......
Park of Sculptures is located directly across the street from the entrance to Gorky Park and behind the New Tretyakov Gallery. From Metro Oktyabrskaya (circle line or orange line) walk straight down Ulitsa Krymsky Val and the park is on your right hand side.

[Chateau d If]

Not much sun is shining in Moscow this leg!

The rain was all done by 11:40 am according to this shot (it was taken in May 13th).  It was dry when they started the Speed Bump and there is a shot of wet pavement during the dance.

I can't believe that is Dandrew behind Toni.  Not because of 'looks like' or 'does not look like' but just because I know they have to get from Sokolniki Park down to the Sculpture Garden before going to the House of Bulgakov.
