It's not even a certainty that Marcus/Amani will not arrive at the tower before it opens! One flight they could have taken arrived at 8.20am, the other at 9.28am. If the tower opened at 10.00am as it usually does, they wouldn't be that far behind at all, if at all.

For what it's worth, I found a slightly different and longer promo than the one Peach posted in post 2 of this thread on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6SHNjLwb4. It has a few quick glimpses of teams in the tower and a couple of different quick glimpses of Marcus and Amani at the airport, though the initial fast shot of Marcus sitting on the floor with his hands on his head looks like the floor where the dancing was done. It also doesn't look as well lit as the airport. However, if they get hit by an HOO after coming in behind the other teams, I don't know if they would let them indoors to wait, so it may just be another shot of the airport.

no proxies please
 
p.s.: Marcus and Armani  :lol3:

Okay so this is the basic assumption

1. Ernie & Cindy
2.
3.
4.
5. Andy & Tommy (victim of double U-turn)
6. Amani & Marcus 

Probable table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Redchiefkevin

Based on what?? :lol:

The promos. Ernie & Cindy U-turn Andy & Tommy for first place. Amani & Marcus miss their flight to Copenhagen and are stuck in Amsterdam, meaning Andy & Tommy survive the U-turn. Easy.

Except that you are ASSUMING A/T get U-Turned without evidence.

You are ASSUMING A/M cannot arrive in time.

Remember what happens when you ASS-U-ME stuff?    :lol:

That does seem to fit their general style of racing. :lol: They're the second coming of Uchenna and Joyce.

Anyone else find it interesting the new promo doesn't even mention the Double U-Turn?

Thanks NoLuckBoston! Looks good to me! This matches up with the first cap...

Now the main flight we think most of the teams went was from Lilongwe to Lusaka to Nairobi to Amsterdam to Copenhagen.

Assumption 1: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Amsterdam, then got stuck.
Not likely. There are some six flights from Amsterdam to Copenhagen before the sun even rises the next day.
Assumption 2: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Nairobi, then got stuck.
Not likely. Even if they missed the Amsterdam flight, there was a London flight that would have got them in before sunrise.
Assumption 3: Marcus/Amani was with everyone else until Lusaka, then got stuck.
Not likely. It's a through-flight from Lilongwe to Nairobi. No reason why they can get tickets on the first leg but not the second.

What if Assumption 1 is likely with them being forbidden to take a pre-determined airline? That could get them stuck for a while.

So, the thing is: were they ahead and then bunched? Or where they bunched and then missed a flight?

I found out that they had to wait until 7:30 am to enter the church.

After seeing the promo I hope it's not because they overslept at the airport which made them left behind...  :lol3:

It is most likely an elimination leg, but we do have 1 non elimination leg remaining. my guess is that it will be when their are 4 teams left.

Leg 11 will most likely be the last NEL this season. Otherwise, we'll have three teams for both of the last two legs.

Just wondering - is is certain that the Roadblock precedes the Detour, or is it possible that the Detour comes first?

I really don't like having a U-Turn as the last thing before the Pit stop, and we already had that last week.
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

Nothing is certain but keep in mind that the detour location is at some distance from the pit stop. The teams need to drive there, so someone might get lost or have difficulty finding it, so even if the detour were the last task a team could still get ahead from another if they did a good job navigating.

ive never been to denmark but, when amani & marcus were doing the bunny challenge, ernie & cindy was up to the u-turning, the sky was the same colour, would they of had to wait for something for amani & marcus to catch up, or is it the next day?
How bout when Andy & Tommy were saying ''everyone was here , except for amani & marcus'' , was that how they caught up?

Leg 11 will most likely be the last NEL this season. Otherwise, we'll have three teams for both of the last two legs.

What theschnauzers said is supported by an analysis of Amazing Race history. The last 9 Amazing Races have all had no NEL on the penultimate leg. However, out of the first 9 only AR5 AND AR6 followed the same pattern and the other 7 races DID have a NEL on the penultimate leg.

With World Race Productions always trying to keep racers off-balance, I think it is quite possible for what translates to the "NEL before leg 11" to happen.

My sense from the interviews of witnesses was that it was early in the day for the Castle.  Similarly, Frilandsmuseet activities seemed to go down not-so-early (but not at the end of the day either).  So I would put the Roadblock happening before the Detour.

Looks like Marcus and Amani are at the bunny racing around 13:35 - by themselves.

We always get clips of Marcus and Amani :lol:

http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/video/2166713161/the-amazing-race-preview-super-shady

They both have to lead the bunny once. If that's all there is to it, that is the easiest Detour ever.

Didn't we also see Sandy in the preview doing it?

And I think that you are right that is Ernie in cap#23 at the back.
