Next stop: HONG KONG!

Vince and Sam are running with the ticket agent - I think they barely scrape onto a flight! Fuzzie's not too happy about that. Cathay, China Airlines, Thai Airways, Dragonair and EVA are the five airlines operating direct services between Taipei and Hong Kong. Over to you, Apskip! :tup:

I see the Star Ferry - wow, four seasons of Hong Kong and each of them featuring the Star Ferry? AD/Fuzzie and Bernie/Henry are still together on this one. Geoff is waiting at the Central Pier - this means they're taking the ferry over to Tsimshatsui or Hung Hom, not the other way around.

Location of the rugby - King's Park in Kowloon? That looks like the Parc Palais in the background. It's a reference to the Hong Kong Sevens by the way...

Neobie,
My flights studies have already indicated that there are 17 flights on that route from 6am to noon and 17 more flights from noon to 6pm. That is very close to one every 20 minutes, so no team should have problems getting on a plane to HongKong quickly.

Let me arrange the time......

First I think S/V Will get on the first flight and get a huge lead in HK :hearts:
And the others team maybe will board on the same flight or the 2nd and 3th flight

Arrive in HK
They need to go some where we don't know to get the clue to King's Park
Or Go to King's Park Directly (Also they can go to the ferry first but it seem very circuitous...... :duno:)

When they arrive King's Park Their's a RB
RUGBY TASK....(I Don't think it is represent HK (:;) )

After that they took the Ferry to HK Island and do some Extra task (Or a DETOUR? :res:)
Then Go to MK To Do Detour or Extra task
AT LAST.....Stanley Pit Stop :angel:

Alan is waiting in the evening...Waiting for the 1st team?? :wohoo:
if it is Ida & Tania seem not the First Team because they appear MK at night :'(


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Something added~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



This is the photo in Mong Kok
There has something to hang
I think they need to take photo or find a person from the photo
to recieve their next clue

So MK is a AT TASK Not A DETOUR I THINK

ryaniez, your basic logic on NELs is sound. However, nobody other than Micahel McKay and AXN know when the NELs will fall. There have to be 3 of them(or TBCs), but one is likely going to be leg 10 to not have to lose any of the final 3 teams. The other 2 can be anywhere in legs 6, 7, 8 and 9. There is no guarantee that leg 6 is NEL. I think that happening in leg 6 has a better than 50% probability, but who really knows?

No more Intersection. There are only 5 teams left.
Intersection is for 6 teams only.
I guess U-Turns and Speed Bumps are in this season.

Who thinks Bernie got that handbag from the Ladies' Market?



If she did and it's still daylight outside, then they've really got a lead (along with AD/Fuzzie) over Ida/Tania!

Anthony!! You are a wonder!! Thanks for all your hard work and great info!!

I am catching up slowly, see y'all in a while!  sleep, the girl needed sleep...

Oh, and remember the yellow leis for the Buddha in ep 1? They hung from those hooks, so if it is the same travelling Clue Box, maybe it doesn't mean something will hang everytime...

I LOVE HK! :hearts:

So in this leg, by the time I go out to perform my first "mobile elimination" this season with Mai and Oliver, over fifteen hours have passed since Sam and Vince checked in the day before.

Sunrise in Taiwan is around 5:04AM.

So Sam and Vince checked in around 2 PM?

Quote
...none of us would come close to seeing any of the other teams until late until the night...and even the following morning.

So Ida & Tania checked in like 1 AM on the next day.

anthony, I would have to say that Vince/Sam pitstop arrival was closer to 4pm. Driving to the tatoo parlor and driving from there to the Astronomiocal Museum should take more than one hour and the tatoos maybe 15 minutes each.

The picture of the male with his back to us with "sunlight" through a window on the left confuses me. It looks like Oliver to me but it appears to be the inside of a museum. He could not have been in a museum during episode 5 in the daylight given what we know about his movements. Can anyone identify who it might be?

Before we move onto HK, can any of our GE whiz guys pinpoint the location of the car in Taipei now? :please:

It should be close to the Sogo store....

The male has not been identified yet. However, perhaps the question can be answered by the orange/red backpack. That appears to match what Bernie is carrying. Bernie must have been in a short sleeved blue shirt at the airport but changed to a blue tank top later.

But how far did they follow the taxi before it broke down? and were they heading towards Kevin's tatoos Xi Men Ding or change their minds and head to the detours? Pingshi?
