Instead of Kris/Jon, they're the new Ray/Yolanda. Navigationally challenged, but good at the tasks and with a serious problem in roadblock division (Ray did skydiving (?) and bungee jumping (??) which left Yolanda to perform the final 3 roadblocks). After this leg he has one more roadblock left (I might do some roadblock analysis for this season).

Thats exactly what I was thinking last night. Not only that but is it me or are TK & Rachel invisible?
also wanted to add, no extra clips this week, you see CBS didn't put out the so-called press release this week and with the press release comes the extra clip, so Happy Holidays CBS Ho Ho Ho :res:

Well, that is the pits! I was really hoping for one more clip today...
Great job puddin and Boingo getting what looks like the pitstop after weeks of work though.
Since TPTB said a "nail-biting" race to the finish line and all the teams seem bunched during the Roadblock--wonder if that is the last task?
And we still have nothing on the Speed-Bump?? I was hoping for some time shots to see when that comes....
I'm more nervous for the Goths--if there is that much bunching then throwing in another task will be nearly impossible to manage...

Well I'll keep my eye on the football games, I mean come on CBS :pfft

Without Chateau's insight and protractors we can only guess on the finish times in ep 7 which would translate into depart times for ep 8.
I will try to estimate times based on the changes in sunlight and shadows. There is a great change in sun direction, almost 90 degrees from the time that Don and Nick arrived and until the Goths arrive, so there is perhaps almost a six to eight hour time span in the arrivals. So my best guess is:
Don and Nick - 11:30AM
Nat and Jenn - 12:30PM
Ron and Chris - 1:00PM
TK and Rachel - 4:30PM
Kynt and Vyxzin - 5:30 - 6:00PM
So even the Goths should be able to make tdhe 0725 flight from FLO to AMS which would get them into BOM by 2350. But they might be smart and take the later flight at 0735 which would get them to MXP in time to catch the Alitalia flight to BOM which arrives at 2310.
Not matter when the teams arrive between 2310 and 2350, by the time the find the mini pedicab and get to the gas works the teams will all be bunched up for the night waiting for the "hours of operation" to kick in the next morning!
But just to throw everyone off, the teams may have to go to a ceremonial location first, and present a wedding gift of flowers to the groom before proceeding to the Roadblock.
CBS is playing dirty with us this week by throwing in extranious shots of fish, chinese temples, african art and other stu ff from other TARS and also shot of TK and Rachel running to the pit stop from ep 7. Sure doesn't help us poor detectives.
Chateau where are you when we need you :umn:

Here are my sun-angle estimates for the teams check in times in at the Baboli Gardens in Florence
1) Don & Nick at 10:40 am
2) Nate & Jenn at 11:54 am
3) Ron & Christina at 12:54 pm
4) TK & Rachel at 2:05 pm
5) Kynt & Vyxsin at 3:10 pm
Not that i t matters because they will all get to India by 1 am on July 23rd.
This shot was taken between 7:23 and 8:07 am (assumes July 23rd).
