Michael, thats a good question? If Phil had to go out in the middle of the night to the new/grassy pitstop, 3am, what became of the daylight teams ( C/M D/O BQ's) ?
We were in Africa, and the Pit Stop location had to get moved because of logistics.
We'd taken a flight to the next location, packed up about forty bags into a propeller charter flight and flew two hours to the next location.
As soon as we landed, we got a phone call to say the teams had been held up. They were never gonna make it to the pit stop where we were at. We'd just unloaded all the bags in the middle of the night.
So they asked the flight crew if they would fly us back the next morning, and the crew said no; they were gonna go back.
So we had to load all the bags back on the plane, take the two hour flight back again, then go out and in the middle of the night for the pit stop, having not been to bed at all.
There was no facility for any of us, like chairs or any of that. So at one point there was 12 of us, cameramen and production people, all tightly packed onto the mat, which was lying in a grassy area, being absolutely annihilated at 3:00 am by mosquitoes
