Hey Gman! I'll guess the Divorcees U-Turn Nick and Starr but it won't effect the outcome, lol
Guess only! I have no idea!!

A travel channel video with some shots of the "Multi." (also, an explanation of the bombin). In addition: cholita wear and an ethnographic site with photos/videos/etc. (the intro mask may be for the diablada dance)

[georgiapeach]

You are right g-man, Justin saw the teams in Santiago as they departed on April 30 and the race completed on 5/14 so early June is sadly not possible.

[puddin]

I can hardly wait to see this play out Slowhatch   
The mask I was thinking is Cholita related and if it doesn't show up tomorrow night I guess we'll know one way or the other << stating the obvious

This shot was taken here between 11:42 and 11:51 am (assumes April 28th).

Thanks to Boingo's match.

Here's a fresh look at all the possible flight routes that teams could take going from Fortaleza to La Paz. 

The constraints I have used to make this collection are
1)  Teams can catch their flight out as early as 2 am on April 26th
2)  Teams must arrive at La Paz airport by 2 pm in the afternoon of April 27th

Turns out there were quite a few ways to do this.  But, each team will have to make their flight out of Fortaleza using one of these six flights to Sao Paulo or Rio:

FOR GIG JJ 3255 2:40 AM 5:50 AM
FOR GIG G3 1995 2:50 AM 6:20 AM
FOR GIG G3 1826 6:00 AM 9:25 AM

FOR GRU G3 1403 6:05 AM 9:50 AM
FOR GRU JJ 3325 8:00 AM 11:30 AM
FOR GRU G3 1773 11:50 AM 3:30 PM

And, at the arrival end, each team will have to arrive, April 27th, on one of these five flights from Lima, Miami, Cuzco, or Santa Cruz

LIM LPB TA 39 9:30 PM 12:20 AM
MIA LPB AA 922  11:10 PM 5:30 AM
CUZ LPB 5L 451 8:00 AM 10:55 AM
VVI LPB 5L 450 6:45 AM 7:45 AM
VVI LPB 5L 126 1:00 PM 2:00 PM

For teams that use the VVI as their connection they will have to get there through Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, or Lima.

Here are th e full itineraries for each arrival mode:

 VVI LPB 5L 450 6:45 AM 7:45 AM  27-Apr


So, in summary, the best possibility will be the route leaving as late as 8:00 am from FOR to GRU to EZE to LIM to LPB arriving at 12:20 am on the 27th.     That route does contain an iffy connection time of 45 min in Lima.  Maybe that is too risky  , so the next best route leaves at 6:05 am from FOR to GRU to MIA to LPB arriving at 5:30 am on the 27th.     All the routes using Santa Cruz arrive as early as 7:45 am on the 27th (if the 7:45 am flight is full they have to use the next one arriving in La Paz at 2:00 pm).  The Cuzco way will put teams into La Paz at 10:55 am on the 27th.

[puddin]

So we think teams basically all arrive in El Alto at the same time?
Teams perform the Cholita Roadblock in order of arrival but there is something the Roadblocker has to do to earn the clue, maybe stay away from the Cholita and not get knocked down after so many minutes? something something, if you fail you go to the back of the line and wait your turn, over and over until the task is completed the right way.
The teams earn one of those "departure times" by completing the Roadblock in fastest to slowest?
The teams stay somewhere in El Alto that night causing Nick to push Christy's sports bra off the ledge? 
Teams depart El Alto by taxi? in order of the departure times?

Some choose the Detours: Flintstones bikes or shopping list?.. something something...
We know there's a U-Turn  ..someone someone or maybe not

I guess it depends on which Detour fits what team like if the Blonds choose shopping, this might be right up their alley, they are girls that like to shop afterall

order of pitstop arrival? your guess is as good as mine based on no real promo evidence at all but I'll guess Ken & Tina finish top 3.

So who goes? 2 teams not witnessed in Cambodia (Leg 5) ...Bill/Mark or Marisa/Brooke. I'll sadly guess what most of us are thinking, the Blonds for the title (Leg4) Mark and Bill eliminated, the high altitude might be what does them in     .

Chateau,

I did all the analyses(except Cuzco; I stopped at Lima; also, you did not show anything connecting through Asuncion) you show and your results do not match mine as displayed on Timetables and Flight Information thread for May 27 starting after 1201 am.

JJ3325 FOR GRU 0730 1130 connecting in Sao Paulo with 5L301 GRU VVI 1600 1730 combined with 5L211 VVI LPB is the best. You can take JJ3323 FOR GRU 0030 0500,  and it gets yoou to VVI sooner, but it does not get you to LPB until the same flight as above.  A request to see if starting at midnight you could get to LPB earlier tielded a negative result. These reults are 4 hours 20 minutes before your routes get teams to LaPaz.

[Chateau d If]

Thanks Apskip, I overlooked the evening flights out of VVI.  With those now in mind agree that the best route will be by way of Santa Cruz.  Here are the itineraries:

Arriving from Santa Cruz via Buenos Aires thru Sao Paulo

 FOR GRU G3 1403 6:05 AM 9:50 AM
 GRU EZE AR 1263 7:35 AM 10:30 AM

or GRU EZE AR 1241 11:00 AM 1:55 PM
or GRU EZE G3 7453 10:50 AM 1:40 PM
or GRU EZE RG 8632 12:00 PM 3:00 PM
 EZE VVI 5L 211 4:00 PM 5:45 PM
 VVI LPB 5L 211 7:00 PM 8:00 PM
or VVI LPB 5L 301 10:00 PM 11:00 PM

Arriving from Santa Cruz via Buenos Aires thru Rio

Arriving from Santa Cruz via Sao Paulo

 FOR GRU G3 1403 6:05 AM 9:50 AM
or FOR GRU JJ 3325 8:00 AM 11:30 AM
 GRU VVI 5L 301 4:00 PM 5:45 PM
 VVI LPB 5L 211 7:00 PM 8:00 PM
or VVI LPB 5L 301 10:00 PM 11:00 PM

And I know that you had flights presented but they are based on today's flight schedules and that is why our results do not match.  Also your list did not have the depth of acceptable departure times that I wanted in order to better understand the order team arrivals.  For example using this itinerary

 FOR GRU G3 1773 11:50 AM 3:30 PM
 GRU LIM TA 141 6:05 PM 9:00 PM
 LIM VVI TA 35 9:55 PM 1:30 AM  ar April 27th
 VVI LPB 5L 450 6:45 AM 7:45 AM  27-Apr

a team could recover after getting a very late departure from Fortaleza and still arrive at the Roadblock in time to perform with the leading teams.

[mswood]

Holy **** thats a lot of flight option....God, I hope we get footage...

[puddin]

[puddin]

We didn't do that bad. One of our original correspondents, for example, mentioned the brass bands, but we just put the pieces together wrong.
