I can guess a combination of two situations. Let's say that they get on a particular flight and something delays the flight so that they fall behind. And then, if the spoiler indicating that a team misses a bus is any indication, maybe they're the team that misses a bus and they fall so far behind that they get eliminated (and are totally humiliated in front of Phil's dad in the process, poor women).

Possibility that just hit me now: Blondes go for the fast forward (I guess along with Aja/Ty). The SkyJump, however, opens at 10 am per the official site, meaning that even with the flat tire/potential navigation woes, they, A/T, and K/T are all there for the opening of the tower. K/T find the number box first and the other two teams leave, having wasted 6+ hours.

Maybe true about the SKy Jump opening at 10am, zachattack308, but the Sky Tower opens at 830am, which is when Ken and Tina started climbing since they had been waiting there for about 2.5 hours.

It looks like Phil's burger clip was May 1st :angel: since the check ins are going to run through the 4 to 5 pm slot. So y'all were correct in your Kiwi lingo interpretation. I botched it.
Now I have to figure out why those other teams took so long to do the leg.

4 to 5 pm for the last checkins? Where is your vaunted eagle eye, Chateau? The checkins for Aja/Ty and Marissa/Brooke were clearly way after dark. My guess is in the 645pm to 7pm range, but we'll see from the release time for Aja/Ty next week.
I will offer my opinion on why it took them so long. Both teams and known to be poor navigators and that trip would have required turns. I think they got lost a lot on the way from Auckland to TePuke. Maybe they also stopped for lunch along the way, although I doubt it.
patlini:
I agree with the poor navigation, it seemed that Brooke and Marisa were at the maori's a lot later than the rest of the teams.
plus switching tasks really didn't help aja and ty - i wonder if this late finishing effects their choice of flights on the next leg
Neobie:
Found it on Google Earth! Heliflight from Ardmore Airport is 16mil/25km southeast of Auckland.
Also got the locations of the gnomes... see attached!
But does anyone know where the "kiwi orchard" is? I'm stuck on this!

That's what 'runs through 4 to 5 pm' means.
