EP6: "We're Going To Trade You For Food Now."
Chateau d If:
I have a possible explanation. Or, at least a way to get teams to Dar Es Salaam. Say teams fail to get the 7 am flight to J-berg. Then they miss the direct flights fro J-berg to Dar Es Salaam. And they miss the indirect ones via Air Malawi through Blantyre. So they can't get out of J-berg until December 3rd.
An Air Malawi flight out of J-berg can only go to Lilongwe or to Blantyre. And it only goes to Lilongwe on Saturday (December 2nd was a Saturday). And there are no Air Malawi flights from Lilongwe to Dar Es Salaam. So missing the 7 am flight forces the flight we see in the preview to be the one going to Blantyre and therefore sending teams ultimately to Dar Es Salaam.
Easy :lol: :groan:

Assuming this episode has a fast forward, will Schmirna go for it?! I think they will go for the FF (the incredibly risky move).
Somehow Uchenne & Joyce finish at least 300 minutes ahead of Teri & Ian (based on puddin's boot list).

My thoughts:
1. Mirna & Charla do a FF
2. This is just an "outside the box" idea. It may be possible that Eric and Danielle got into the plane when they had already been told the plane was full. The way Danielle saw the situation is that they did find seats so they should have been able to keep them and stay on the plane.---Based on 9/11 stuff (and I haven't flown in 28 yrs) would it be possible for them to get through without actually being checked in?
3. Is this the leg where they can't make it to the planned Pit Stop?

GATOR27, I believe you meant "at least 30 minutes" to beat the Marked for Elimination penalty.

There have been several speculations on the EP5 thread about air travel for EP6 on Air Malawi. I am going to offer my speculations, based on my intensive analysis of the entire Air Malawi African route structure and timetable:
1. Teams will have hit the Maputo pitstop the afternoon of Friday Dec.1 and be able to catch an early morning flight TM301 to Johannesburg departin 0700 arriving 0800.
2. The only place they can go on Air Malawi (a necessity based on the pictures we have seen) is to Blantyre on QM202 departing 1425 arriving 1635. At that point, there is only one other place they could continue on to and that is Lilongwe. I don't think they do that, although they might. Blantyre is the major air hub for Africa and Lilongwe is the air hub for inside Malawi.
3. Choices over the following 2 days for flights are to:
a. Harare, Zimbabwe 1020 Saturday morning arriving 1140 QM141
b. Mzuzu, Malawi 1600 Saturday afternoon arriving 1650
c. Lusaka, Zambia 0845 Sunday morning arriving 1025
d. Dar-es-Salaam 1500 Sunday afternoon arriving 1740 QM6202
e. continuation of the same flight to Nairobi arriving at 1915
What does all this mean? I think it means that the pit stop for episode 6 will be somewhere near Blantyre Malawi. I further think it means that the pitstop for episode 7 will be in the vicinity of either Dar-es-Salaam or Nairobi. My guess is Dar-es-Salaam. The rationale is tha t you can't go anywhere else by air and get back and then get to Poland easily. Nairobi has excellent connections via Amsterdam and Dar-Es-Salaam can reach Amsterdam via Nairobi. The Amazing Race is likely to leave Africa from one of those two cities. If you think differently, speak up.
