No Photo evidence but my source Lance (well done to him :hearts:) was on the scene at Central. Teams started the leg ripping open next clue on the Amazing Race mat at Central. Teams seen counting money etc so it must have been the start of the leg(?):

Teams in order of departure were:

1st:Zev and Justin in red shirts left at 12
2nd:Flight time and Big easy left at 12:10pm
3th:cowboy left at 12:11pm
4th:Margie and Luke # 12:12 pm
5th:Kisha and Jen 12:13 pm
6th:Mel and Mike
7th:Goth
8th:Jamie and Cara
9th:Gary and Mallory - big cheer from the schoolgirls watching!
10th:Ron and Chris # 12:25pm

No siting of Amanda and Kris (both not confirmed until the fat lady sings)

Mat at the Mine and Start at the Station pretty much confirms rolling PITSTOP for the teams.

Glad to see Ron & Christina apparently made it, although sorry to see Amanda & Kris might be out.

What is a rolling pit stop?

Teams traveled out of Broken Hill, AUS by train b\c it was the only way out. The train lasted almost long enough 4 a pit stop 2 occur and they did not get a real break before the next leg.
Physics alone is not enough.

My guess is somewhere really close to Luke and Margie... as usual... or yelling at some poor Japanese ladies for not speaking English... but maybe, just maybe they are already on a flight to have drinks with Kris and Amanda... wouldn't that be something!

Why do people hate Jaime and Cara so much? Who cares if Jaime was rude to foreigners?

Jaime and Cara love <3

Oh mah gosh, Jaime and Cara are amazing people.

I do think that these posts above me are just sarcasm.  :hearts:
They're so final 3-worthy.

lol, maybe they are jealous of Jaime and Cara's infinite beauty and intelligence.

Jealousy gets you nowhere, guys.

Most of us hate Jamie and Cara because they were looking anyone no-English speaking as inferior. They behaved, to taxi drivers especially, really bad and showed no respect to other cultures. Just because they are Americans doesn't mean that they are better than anyone else. It' s understandable to be frustrated by the language barriers but that is no excuse for such behaviour.

^I agree with all of that^
On a side note, the redheads only made it to F3 b\c of a potty break. I doubt they'll have that kind of luck again.
