Peach.....

I went back to the Live thread and found the posts by that girl in Broken Hill........Chelly. She is the one that took the pics of all the teams in the airport in BH. She then followed them to the Living Desert. It is on that part of the leg where FT.BE pull over.......all the red dirt. When they finished at the Living Desert, she followed them back to town to Memorial Oval......thats where they all changed into kangeroo suits. Then the drive to the pit stop at Junction Mine.

I know...it is for you! :kuss:

Chelley was a big help. I have sent her our thanks, a link to watch, and a zip file of pics for the lady in pink who she knows!

But the video came from another helper.

Have updated the photos for some better ones starting here...they are worth a second look!

Looks from those pics that Amanda and Kris are doomed by the UTurn again. All teams there together, and they have two tasks to do.

Another Joe and Heidi. :(

Did I mention I hate the U-Turn??

I don't mind this one, since it wasn't forced onto them by anyone except themselves.

Unless I am mistaken......the only racers we have not seen in the kangeroo suites are K/V, J/C and A/K.

It's possible that the kangaroo suits made team members hot, but the high temperature for Broken Hill on 11/23/10 was a mild 79 degrees, quite reasonable for late spring in desert Australia.

I'm not seeing any RB clue either. I think the timeline for this leg has come together really well, I don't think we are going to be surprised by an extra task.

Maybe they are hot because they have already done the outdoor tasks at the living desert. Some might find 79 to be hot.  :duno:

Just a reminder. Officially reported temperatures are taken in such a way that the readings are in shade, and not in direct sunlight.  You need to add at least 10 to 15 F to approximate the air temperature in sunlight.

If it was 79 F in the shade, then 90-95 F was the likely temperature in direct sunlight. My guess is that the Racers were hot both from the kangaroo costumes (which make it difficult for the body to cool itself while being worn) and the outside tasks which were in direct sunlight.

The lack of Speedbump for Jet & Cord, plus only having a Detour makes me think that this was either an überleg or one single leg that was too long to fit in one hour.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Except for the fact that there was an expressly named pitstop in the middle where a prize was awarded. With a sign, mat and, greeter.

Same with season 14 China, except there was no greeter at the China "Pitstop". Jamie and Cara won jetskis, I believe?

I keep telling and telling you all. :groan:

This is a double leg. For lack of a better term it could be called a TBC, version 2.

For the schedule, it counts as 2 legs/episodes. It is NOT being counted as one leg, and won't be when we see it again. :angel

I don't know how to say it any better....
