EP2: 'I’ve Become the Archie Bunker of the Home'
Slowhatch:
I don't have an archived timetable, so this will have to do. The preachers narrowly missed the last regular #30 bus and had to catch the Stadsmobiel, a para-van that serves as the nighttime bus for lines 30 and 31. So they finally left for Ransdorp between 7-8 p.m. Sunset for 11 July was 9:59 p.m.

I liked the way they seemed to say that only 12 seats were left on the DUB-AMS flight enough for only 6 teams. What about the two crew members per team?? The producers very carefully put words in people's mouths to let you think that the camera crews never exist. Pictures just show up by magic.
apskip:
All the airline personnel are carefully coached in advance to make sure they know how to translate the real number of seats available into the Amazing Race TV number of seats available, which is not more than half the previous number. Once the cameras are rolling and flight times are critical, there is not time for a retake so they have to to get it "right" the first time.

Maybe Tammy can help us here...but I am pretty sure that racers have said in the past that they were asked to use the two tickets phrase and then the cameras would stop and they would clarify the need for extra tickets, and I think racers have talked about also shooting retakes. I think we even once or twice thru the years heard more tickets being asked for?
They sure go to great lengths to maintain that illusion of no cameras though!

You're right, and I think that we have even seen teams hand over four passports when buying tickets!
