The Amazing Race 12 in the Media
Chateau d If:
TK & Rachel's check in times were much closer to 10 am than 1:25 pm. There were still long shadows when TK finished the Roadblock.
So I don't think it was a 24 hour Pit Stop. More like 21 or 22 hours if it has to be a round number.

--- Quote from: apskip on January 09, 2008, 09:24:56 AM ---Five comments on your recap, Ken:
1. This was a 24 hour pitstop in Mumbai.
2. The dialogue between Christina and Ronald about the direct flight may seem like Christina was the big victor for shutting him up, but in fact his point about nonstop vs. direct is incredibly important and Christina ignoring it indicates a level of major immaturity on her part. She wants to be the team captain, but can't recognize what is important.
3. Your statement "Mumbai to New Dehli, then to Beijing, then finally to Osaka. You see that route? That's a crazy route. They might as well flown to Abu Dhabi, then Osaka and probably would have arrived just as fast" is not valid. It only happens to be true for this specific case because of TK & Rachel's 7 hour wait in Delhi for the flight to Beijing. there are many flights Mumbai to Delhi and from Beijing to Osaka. There are a limited number of flights Delhi to Beijing, but if you hit it right, that would have been the BEST route. TK&Rachel did not get the right travel agent, so they did not hit it right. For their timing, they should have been on the same route as the others, except on through Seoul.
4. "Rachel notices an empty airport (Delhi)." In fact the other teams stopped in Delhi 30 to 90 minutes later(schedules for that flight conflict), but none of the 3 teams got off there for a break nor were Tk&Rachel smart enough to check on alternate flight possibilities there during that period, when they could have switched to AI310 before it left ofr Hong Kong.
5. I think teams that went quickly to the second floor of Nishiwada Castle were either smart or lucky, because that vantage point gave them a view of the grounds form which the location of the cluebox was immedatiely clear.

Good points, apskip. In regards to Ron & Christina, I think she was not happy with the way he said it as opposed to the message itself. While the message was valid, I think the way he said it, interrupting Christina and then talking in a terse manner was not appreciated. Had he said it differently, his advice might have been accepted.
