There was just a short promo on CBS at 8:59:30 approx.......I believe it showed the Globes running to the Pit Stop mat wearing the kangeroo suites. The audio seems to be them yelling at Phil.


Is that EST or Central time? If anyone captured it and wants to send it to me, I can cap it...

It was Central Time.....just before "The Mentalist" started and another promo at 9:47 Central.

Thanks for the promo. I had looked this morning for the house seen in the first promo but gave up after a while. It's easy when they tell you it's bismuth and mercury.  :-[

So is that a locker room at Consolidated Mines building? ???

So they do this as a route marker perhaps and then go to Junction Mine? ???

Hmmm...we have caps of Jen/Kisha and Globetrotters too, maybe we can get some times?

The element on the table highlighted yellow is Mercury, the one in red is Bismuth.

The chemical symbols for each are Hg and Bi, respectively and they are numbers 80 and 83, respectively. Both are metals (Mercury is a transition metal and Bismuth is what is called a "poor" metal)

So would they head to numbers 80 & 83 on their streets? Or would they have been given other numbers/some other clue?

The streets are named after the elements, I bet they just follow them to the next clue? ???

The locker room is probably inside the stadium; at least, that's where they're standing (Warnock and Williams) when they ask the lady about the Periodic Table. The Consolidated Mine sign has replaced a Consolidated Concrete sign (viewpoint). It's a short trip to Bismuth and Mercury--maybe 4/5 blocks.

But where on the street is the question? Would they have been directed to a specific point, or just told to search up and down the street until they find the clue?

EDIT: If it was me and we weren't told specifically, I'd start my search at the street number corresponding to the element.

For the 'Mel and Mike spot' them taking this route makes sense if teams caught a ferry back to Circular Quay and then had to go on foot to Anchor statue. HOWEVER I think it is cruel of WRP to have made teams walk as it is quite a trek and especially with those backpacks! Being on Pitt St however does make us think was the Marriott Hotel involved somehow? Or did G/M and R/C?? go just for directions?
Teams were seen working together carrying a box of some sort by one Twetter however when Mallory read the clue in front of Phil, it said 'You are heading to the Back and Beyond' and there was lip movement...maybe they have to pick something up on the way?

Maybe the intersection of the two streets might be where the teams are heading next?

Yeah, it's not hard to find. If they are at the oval they go down and take a left like the lady said. This puts them on Gypsum where they were spotted. The spotter said they went down Gypsum to Mercury where they would take a left and be really close to the Bismuth/Mercury intersection

Like so:

We know that at some point the KangaRacers were on Long Street.


Right?
