So with not too much to go on, and with a lot of blanks that need filling in, this could be a possible scenario for ep 10:
Teams start off in the early morning from the pit stop in Jodhpur. At the first clue box they receive information that tells them to head first to New Delhi and then fly to ISTANBUL, TURKEY. The questions is how do they get from Jodhpur to Delhi. The only trains listed in the Indian Railways Government train schedule leave at 7:30PM and 10:30PM arriving respectively in Delhi at 5:44AM and 10:45AM. But there may be another train that is not listed in the master schedule which completes the 10 to 12 hour trip in the late evening. From the estimated time of arrival it looks like the teams will be leaving in the dark of morning (we have Ron and Kelly with headlights reading instructions). It is about 350 miles from Jodhpur to Delhi; perhaps the drive or take a bus if not the train..
The best flights from Delhi to Istanbul leave at 4:00AM and 4:45AM arriving in Istanbul at 8:45AM which would give them the fuill day for events. These may be the flights they are on since we have scenes of the four teams sitting around an almost deserted airline terminal (and New Delhi is a very active terminal most of the day). There are other flights: one leaves on Emirates Air at 11:20AM and arrives in Istanbul at 5:40PM. Don't think that this would work since they would not have daylight to do anything once they arrived and would lose still another of their dwindling supply of days.
So me thinks they somehow get to New Delhi in the early evening and wait at the airport until the early morning flights. They may all get on the same flight, or on the two flights which land at the same time.
Now to the tasks.
At the airport they receive instructions to proceed to a famous landmark; I'm picking TOKAPI PALACE. Here they have to search for a Gnome who has their next clue! (The search area seems to be in a large contained area with many pigeons about a la Trafalgar Square in London) Here the get the clue for the DETOUR:
DETOUR: Either go down into the YEREBATAN SARAY to find a clue hidden somewhere among the 300 or so columns,(they may have a particular picture to match) or go on a hunt at the SIRKECI STATION where the Whirling Dervishes perform every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Here they have to find a person matching the picture they have. Another place holding Whirling Dervish shows is the Galata Mevlevhanesi (only on Sunday evenings) but this location is across the Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn. Both the Yerebaten Sareay and Sirkeci Station are within walking distance of the Tokapi Palace.
At the completion of the Detour they receive instructions to proceed to one of the EMINONO Ferry Terminals and catch a ferry across the Bosphorous to USKUDAR or KADIKOY. Here they have to find their way to RUMELI FORT (YAHYA KEMAL CADDESI)(which is on the Tracean Side of the Bosphorous) This is the location for the ROADBLOCK.
ROADBLOCK: One team member first must climb the fortress wall using a rope jacobs ladder. Upon reaching the top they must locate someplace where they will retrieve the next clue. Once they have the clue they then must rappel down an even higher wall. We have shots of Uchenna, Rob and Gretchen on the walls.
PIT STOP: The instructions then tell them to proceed back across the Bosphorous and find the SULTAN AHMET CAMILI (Or Blue Mosque) which is the final mat for this leg of the race. This leg is a NON ELIMINATION leg so nobody is counted out just yet. (The promos for THE EARLY SHOW today do not plug an appearance of the lastest TAR castoff while they do plug the latest castaway from the Survivor show for Friday - this is the pattern TES promos follow when it is a NON ELIMINATION LEG.)
FAST FORWARD - All gone!
YIELD - Not offered this week; it fits with the title of Ep 11 and it is finally used by one team next week!
Certain shots in the previews are confusing: On some Rob has his red Redsox hat on, and in others a knit watchcap. Gretchen is holding a yellow jacket in some of the airport shots and not in others. And can anyone identify the background for pix 27 of Rob and Amber walking toward the camera. The doors behind them look like elevator or office doors. There are blue signs over both doors but I can't make them out. It looks like the location may be somewhere in Istanbul since Rob is now wearing his jacket and warm watchcap. (On the way to the Whirling Dervishes at Sirkeci Station or down to the Yerebaten Saray?)
Time is running out, but we have a lot of blanks to fill in.
