EP3: 'Please, Lord, Give Me Milk !'
apskip:
I am a relatively new subsscriber to TV Guide. May I point out the following stark contrast:
Nov. 18 - The nine teams must milk several stubborn camels to receive a clue.
Nov. 25 - Another team is eliminated.
Dec. 2 - Another team is eliminated from the race.
Do you all understand the significance of what is different between Nov. 18 and Nov. 25 and Dec. 2?

Sure sort of means a TBC this week.
Thanks for input, apskip. So that seems to say that they will be taking the train from O north. So the scene of Nathan with the red tank top looking out of the train as it arrives somewhere fits here. But when we seem him and Jenny next, he is wearing the green long-sleeved shirt with white tee shirt showing. Where does the red tank come in?

Its generic "Another team is eliminated from the race." and always inserted before details are up.

It just struck me one of the major reasons besides camels that AR12 was planned to go northeast. In the south of Burkina Faso, including I think Ouagadougou and Bobo Dioulasso and Fada N'Gourma, the average rainfall falling in the 4 summer months is 40 inches. However, in the far north it is sub-Saharan conditions and the rainfall is only 10 inches per year. The probability of travel disruption due to a monsoon is tremendously reduced and that extends over to the western tip of Niger too.
During the rainy season it looks like the northern route from Ouagadougou to Niamey through Dori is preferred rather than the shorter southern route through Fada N'Gourma. I believe that World Race Productions discovered that during their research and then set up the race route accordingly.
