unprecedented mistake

<< < (22/26) > >>

Jobby:
And because they had to go back to get their packs, any other possible teams U-TURNed them and that's why it accounted for them being hours behind?

Argh, this leg is a mystery! I don't know, it's just pure speculation now!! :groan:

Alvin06:
@Joab, there are, however, reports of Ken and Tina sightings at Portland EARLIER than the Seattle sightings of Dan and Andrew, implying that it is not Ken and Tina who ultimately do not make it to the finish line along with the other teams.

Jobby:
I know. I was just thinking for a reason why K/T are so far behind everyone?

--- Quote from: Joab on November 28, 2008, 04:05:46 AM ---Okay i was doing mswood's questions and this thought suddenly came into my mind. Remember in TAR5 Linda and Karen left their fanny packs behind? When they left, the cameraman obviously realized it and zoomed in on the fanny packs. It was until after Linda and Karen realized it then they went back to their previous location to retrieve it. (Without the cameraman telling them)

So i'm thinking there could be this possible scenario that the team who loses their fanny pack, could be Ken and Tina (who were spotted many hours behind the teams) because i think the producers will not be that evil to not tell them where they left their packs after they lost it. I'm pretty sure they will want them to go back and retrieve it. I mean, they won't really want a team to not be present at the finish line right? But because they went back to retrieve it, they were so many hours behind, that they couldn't catch the teams in the finale leg (flights) and because they were team number #3, they were not eliminated and thus cannot fly directly to the finish line to join the other teams because they had to wait 12 hours and thus missing the flight and joining the others?

Joab, that is an interesting hypothesis. However, experience in AR12 and earlier in AR13 has shown us that U-Turns are only delaying teams 30 minutes (same as the hour glass, but much more exciting). That makes it an insignificant part of being behind by hours. Of course, the window to the episode 10 pitstop closes around 5pm. 12 hours affer that the time to DME (not SVO) airport and time for flight booking and airport checkin would make it impossible for a team to make it to Portland for early afternoon May 14 tasks.

Alvin06:
I believe that doing the other detour makes it hard for Ken and Tina to catch up, but is able to go and clinch third place ahead of the time specified by apskip.

Perhaps it is indeed Andrew and Dan who are hours behind already, due to their speedbump.
