Racing Report Leg #4 AS

<< < (2/3) > >>

apskip:
MSWOOD, another fine Racing Report. I have one correction. You were speculating on flight numbers for thte LAN charters from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia and attempting to assign regular flight numbers. Those would be special flights without regular LAN flight numbers. They might have a 4-digit flight number for the purposes of identifying the flights for air traffic control.

Slowhatch:
Were they LAN charters? I know LAN has gotten a lot of free publicity over the last couple of weeks, but I'm starting to wonder. Mirna had a Sky flight number on her card (visible during the cab ride to Chuquicamata), and the racers checked in for their Ushuaia charters at a Sky desk. It could just be a coincidence, but we never actually saw the charter planes used, just some stock footage.

Thank you very much apskip.  Then both numbers have a 1 preceeding them.  But I wasn't for sure that is why I kept them as a 3 digit.  I will post the correction.  I knew you would be able to correct that..

And please, please.  Keep up the early speculation on flights.  It makes the work so much easier.

Even if it isn't always spot on, it narrows it down so much.  Both on flight possabilities and the timeline itself.  Add that to how much info the show as actually televised, this season has been the easiest one for me to right about.

mswood:
Yeah, they were LAN flights, but the sign up was for Sky.

SO I don't know how that happened.  And the flights used were the standard scheduled LAN Flights.

I don't know if Sky works with LAN in some fashion (as some US carriers do for example).

Average Leg Placement

Oswald & Danny  2.50
Rob & Amber  2.75
Eric & Danielle  3.25
Joe & Bill  4.75
Teri & Ian  4.75
Dustin & Kandice  5.25
Uchenna & Joyce  5.25
Charla & Mirna  7.75

Well, with setting records for winning three legs back to back at the start of the race, and getting the best Leg average for all seasons for legs 2 & 3.  They score another with the lowest Pit Stop Placement Average of any team to be eliminated.

But thanks to Oswald & Danny placing first, they don't have the best average now for the season.  The only time that a team has had the best average for the season and been eliminated was just last season with Peter and Sarah being eliminated in leg 6 with a 3.17 average, while the next lowest rated team was Tyler & James with a 3.33.

Comparison to Original Seasons at leg 4.
Oswald & Danny 4.25  So they are doing substantually better.
Rob & Amber  2.50  Have a slightly higher average now, and of course they are eliminated so, it sucks to be them.
Eric & Danielle  Well Eric had a 1.50 average at this stage.  While Danielle had a 8.25.  The average for this hybrid team would be 4.88.  So right now they are placing better than the average of their parts.
Joe & Bill 2.25   They are doing considerable worse.
Teri & Ian  8.25  Have a huge improvement in performance.
Dustin & Kandice  5.00  Just slightly off their previous season
Uchenna & Joyce  4.25  Averaging one full placement worse each leg.
Charla & Mirna  3.25  At this time in season 5 Charla & Mirna had the best record (slightly lower then Brandon & Nicole and then Colin & Christie).  This so far has been a disaster.  At this stage only 3 teams have had a worse record (teri & Ian, Dani & Danielle, and Don & Mary Jean).  Yet one of them did improve, get it together and make the final three and place 2cd for their season.  But it looks so far more like a Lyn & Karlynn season, where a team hardly ever performs above average, and yet manages to stay through the whole race.
