Afghans are wearing two outfits, and were seen twice at U-Turn board.

Detour should be Statue or Dancing. Maybe Afghanimals gets U-turned then they U-turned Okla guys or in verse because I remember Okla want to U-turn Afghanimals

Really? I just realize that maybe Okla guys U-turn Afghanimals then Afghanimals has no choice but U-turn their wives Ice Blondes.

Well, I read spoilers, and that is not gonna happen. Also, it seems like the F/Fs are ahead if you check the lighting of day.

I'm expecting one of the u-turns to be wasted on a team that is ahead...

Also I'm the only one who see Nicky&Kim in caps 11, 12 y 13 at the U-TURN board?  :crazy:

The U-Turn is just 500m from the Neptune statue, along the river right next to the medieval port crane here.

Straight down the plaza to the river, then along the river until you see the sign. This suggests the other Detour option should be close too, within the Old Town.

There's a cap of the Afghanimals (in dancing outfit) at the U-Turn board without any photos on it. Is it a doctored image or did they arrive before they could be U-Turned?

Yes, I think I saw them at the U-turn board with empty slots on it. I think they just changed the Detour.

I love this episode. The destinations, the tasks and the drama are amazing.  :luvya: But do Marie&Tim have to come back to the Route Info task to take the picture odd pit stop when they check in? Or not?

And next leg, how can the bunnies check in the U-Turn board ahead of many other teams. They are so far behind. I hope Oklahoma boys will be still safe next week.

I don't think so. They only need to coins to check in.
Bunnies catch up maybe due to the flight.

I'm confused, did I get the timeline right? (More in the Transportation thread.)

I have the teams racing in Svolvaer the "night" of 16/17 Jun, but they don't leave Trondheim until the morning of the 19th. Now this would suggest massive bunching by some weird itinerary mandated by TPTB (since there are faster ways to get to Poland), but teams arrive in Gdansk on different flights...

What happened between the Lofoten and Trondheim?

Right sightline, wrong island: the coin task was at Engoya not Sauoya, and the longhouse is near the inauspiciously named town of Borg.

I'm just watching the insider videos on the youtube channel and I just wanted to add that the whole speech from Marie about who's getting the Express Pass comes from Leg 1 Confessional so there is really no reason to believe she is gonna give it to Nicole&Travis.

I'm not sure about you guys but I thought this episode was superb! The season just keeps getting better each episode. To set the leg in a beautiful location is the first bonus! A difficult Detour involving the location's workforce was awesome! The boat ride and the Roadblock was the high rush adrenalin we don't get to see in TAR anymore besides premiere legs and final legs! and the boulder task was a nice quick touch.. and not to forget the touch of culture at the Pit Stop :) hope episode 5 is even better!

The photo by King7 at the airport was POSTED on 1:59 AM - 19 Jun 13 ( I think that time could reflect the time I see (EST))

However, he never replied as to WHEN the photo was taken...so it is entirely possible that it could have been taken sometime before...

Yesterday's episode was superb. Not only because the visited my country, but also because I know some of the people who were at the party at the pitstop.

The sightings in Poland reflect quite well a morning departure from Trondheim on 19 Jun though, so we still have two full days to account for between Borg (Pit Stop) and Trondheim (airport)...

Question:

If Episode 4 and obviously Leg 4, was a TBC or KR Leg, those that mean that Episode 5, will still be Leg 4 and Marie doesn't need to give away the EP until Episode 6 in the real Leg 5? or the second part of Leg 4 will be Leg 5?

Little bit confused...
