I don't get why they moved the pitstop, it seemed just a tad odd ???

And I can't believe Dave and Kelly got eliminated while having a coffee  :lol3:
Maybe the filming permit at Mosada had a hours of operation restriction, leading to Sam and Renee being directed elsewhere (possibly just outside) after arriving there.

Is there any chance that Dave and Kelly could have asked by production to stay put after San and Renee checked in?

They had the same greeter, and there was a body of water, but it was clear they were in a different place. I'm guessing it was also right near the Dead Sea and possibly where they'll have the Pit Start.

Was this the first time a team was eliminated at a McDonalds?  :lol:

Will there be a two hour season finale or will it just be a normal episode?

First one I've seen! Makes me wonder what happened though as Dave & Kelly mentioned they had a good map. Even if they did the same thing as Sam & Renae they wouldn't have been to far behind.

The reason why the pitstop has been moved is because no one is allowed to enter the Masada at night, it is a holy place, so since Sam and Renae arrived at dusk, the masada was closed, so the pitstop needed to be moved.

Maybe they weren't aloud to use Masada at night?

Okay. Few things straight.

Joab has a thing for all-female teams.

And after Sam totally just cried today for being so thankful to still be in the race. <3 x 1000000 rooting for them to win.

The Roadblock, was... erm.... very.... random. It doesn't really showcase Israel well. Or does it? I mean if you do a RB like that in Singapore, which is the fourth busiest port in Singapore.. i get it. But in Israel? That was real random.

The sand tennis task, was great... but the finding task was horribly stupid. It seemed to me like they did not know what they had to do in Israel and had to plan a random like like this.

Also, I do not understand why they needed to travel 1 hr and a half to the RB location.. then back??

Dave and Kelly eliminated not at Pitstop = ??? I know it's late my dears.. but why why why did you have to stop at Macdonalds? I know you're tired but Goddamn finish the race first! :(

Tom and Matt is the team i'm rooting for to win if Sam and Ranae are not in the final three. It does seemed their chances are low, but i'm not keeping my hopes down.

Jeff and Luke, they're getting abit irksome. Tyler and Nathan.. the no money drama is still taking a toll on them, I guess.

I think it was to ensure bunching with the hours of operation. Only the first 2 teams would have made the first flight had it not been delayed.

Somebody posted on another forum that Dave and Kelly were delayed because there was a fatal car accident on the road to the pitstop.

It was just on the Amazing Race Australia thread (post 710) on Big Footy. I've sent a private message to the guy who posted it for clarification.

edit: I got a response. Dave and Kelly mentioned it on a live chat yesterday.

Talk about a twist! I did not expect that to happen to Dave and Kelly, it seems like they finished shortly after Sam and Renae did and they even had a map with them to boot, coupled with the directions issue you would think they had more than enough time to get to the pit stop.
