So can we get them to Groningen in time for late afternoon shots at the bell tower on the 29th??

I have to admit, we have to find a way to do this!   :duno:

You already know the answer to this. There is no reason for teams to wait around for 6 to 9 hours so they can all take your proposed flight to Hamburg. Take another look at the flights indicated by me in posts #90 and #104 on this thread. Getting to Groningen by 5pm is possible even for the last-place Flight Time and Big Easy.

I believe you have gotten to your position as a result of the Steffie Sunrise information. If you ignore that, then what do you conclude?

From your # 90:  This flight time is incorrect:  (KL428 left at 12:13 am)
Cheyne/Meghan can make the nonstop KL428 DXB AMS 0140 0600

And teams won't be released soon enough to do this:  (OS840 left at 1:44 am)

Maria/Tiffany, Sam/Dan, Brian/Ericka and Gary/Matt will just miss the Swiss connection through Zurich and they will get OS840 DXB VIE 0240 0605 connecting in Vienna to OS371 0720 0915.

And this flight does not exist:

That leaves in deep trouble Nate/Herb, who can do no better than waiting for the nonstop KL430 DXB AMS 0800 1220.


That's all you put in your post #90.  Amounts to nothing usable.

Now for your post #104

Teams won't be released soon enough to do this:

LH631 DXB FRA 0125 0555
LH340 FRA BRE 0700 0755 and those flights were pretty much on-time Wednesday July 29.


Your Istanbul set would be a possibility in terms of a 12 hour release time but remains inconsistent with Steffie Sunrise encountering a M/F couple.  Her comments were:

Quote
We were checking out and this American couple came in with tv cameras. They wanted to borrow Joe's mobile to call the airport.about 1 hour ago from web

they said they were doing a travel documentary but mum thinks it might be that Amazing Race show. we were to excited about 1 hour ago from web

they promised us free skydiving lessons in America if they could use our mobile. they teach skydiving.
And Later on:
we were in Dubi. they were sorta old but not 2 old. The wife was really nice, made me laugh. i didn't talk 2 the husband he was on mobile

So who could that have been that she saw?  Most likely it was Cheyne & Meghan, second most likey it was Ericka & Brian.  Either way, no team will be released early enough to catch the Istanbul flight since the release time is going to be after 4 am by a wide margin.

There is an initial flight SQ490 to Istanbul 0410 0740. In Istanbul is the choice of 3 paths, two through CDG; the one I like best is through FRA, LH2085 0825 1035 connecting in Frankfurt with LH344 1320 1415 arriving 10 minutes late on July 29.

So none of your post #104 flights are usable either. 

We need to find the flights that teams could catch after 7 am and get them to AMS by 2 to 5 pm.

I totally think it will be a funny Pitstop time too Chateau...but if it IS a 12 hour one then C/M should be released at 1215AM. I don't think that will happen because it will put them too far ahead...but we aren't sure of that, right??

So why the 4AM? ???

Yes, both this season and last have had more often irregular than not...

I guess I'm not sure of it but why would C&M be hanging out in a hotel lobby five hours after their release?

4 am? No particular reason.  Just that either C&M or E&B are at Steffie's hotel before 7:51 am on the 29th.  The amount before 7:51 am would be whatever length of time it takes a teenager to post news on Twitter while her family is checking out of their hotel and riding to the airport.   The "4 am " is a lower bound of my guess.  It could be even later.

What's the name of the hotel? I don't know, just putting it out there, but maybe the hotel is near the airport? Or maybe they're planning to do something like what Flo/Zach did during the finale (exchange tickets).

And :funny: at the reactions in this thread.
I'm baaaaaack!

Cheyne right?

Looking at the watches on left hand, one has a gold band (Cheyne) and one has a black band (Dan).  An above the belt perspective.

Back to the Roadblock question.

I keep coming back to the fact that Dutch said that the racers went here after the bicycles but before moving on to the Dance/Golf tasks...
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,20966.msg484730.html#msg484730

So what is here??

It appears to be the end of the quay...lots of boats, lots of water...

Given that Dutch says they stayed here a long time, I want us to look at this as a possible RB site.











What could the task be??

I'll go out on a limb :funny: and propose that it could be on or in a boat...or better yet, on or in the water!! :yess:
