Chateau--you nailed the bus station place!!  :yess:

sunnyca:
that WAS a good episode! some more time in cambodia and a little less in nz would have been good though.  aja and ty - well, they are a gorgeous couple but they were always trying to catch up. it's amazing how the divorcees and the frat boys are still hanging in there - every time i think they're cooked, they catch a break. wish mark and bill had :-(

georgiapeach:
I take back I said about Emmy Ep--way too much airport stuff and not near enough time at Tonle Sap and Angkor Wat. I loved every second of what we DID see--I just want more!! Oh why oh why couldn't THIS be the double leg??

apskip:
Let's just put a few things into perspective:

1. Kelly and Christy are not a competitive team. They keep making stupid errors, which will kill them when the last team is trailing by only minutes and not over 5 hours (as happened to Ty/Aja). Another team that is going to be eliminated as a result of their stupid errors is Dan/Andrew, whose behavior up until finding the Echo Chamber was sophmoric and time-consuming.

2. CBS editors did their usual magic, but hopefully it did not fool you. You as a RFF member if you view spoilers would know that Aja/Ty reach Siem Reap airport at least 5 hours behind the other teams. All of them are long finished before Aja/Ty even get to the diesel fuel pump.

3. Nick and Starr are bending the standards of competitive behavior. Nothing that they do is illegal; it's just that everything is designed to give them an "unfair" advantage.

4. sunnyca, Aja is an aspiring actress working as a makeup artist to pay her bills.

Nobody has mentioned how long the pitstop was, because it wasn't 18 hours as Chateau and Michael speculated nor was it 24 hours as I speculated. We weren't very far off because it looks like 20 hours to me. I base that on the finish of Aja/Ty at the Summerhill Farm pitstop at about 7pm(way after dark) and their release at 304pm. The next thing to look at is the times to Auckland Inernational Airport. Ken says to add 3 hours. I think 2.5 hours is the maximum for a competent team(which Ken/Tina are). Anyway, at plus 2.5 hours after release we get:

Ken/Tina 833am
Terence/Sarah 1049am
Kelly/Christy 1202pm
Dallas/Toni 1245pm
Nick/Starr 200pm
Dan/Andrew 234pm
Ty/Aja 534pm

Next, I want to match teams up with flight combinations:

Ken/Tina and Terence/Sarah - I heard something about Singapore Airlines. What matches up with that out of 3 alternatives is QF190 AKL SYD 1225 1430, connecting to SQ222 SYD SIN 1640 2145 and then 3K595 SIN REP 0600+1 0700+1. Kelly/Christy arrive at Auckland airport just after the closing of QF190.

Kely/Christy, Dallas/Toni, Nick/Starr and Andrew/Dan - get on AKL BNE EK433 1655 1835 this then continues on the same flight to Singapore with BNE SIN EK433 2045 0150+1 and then SIN REP 3K595 0600+1 0700+1

Aja/Ty - missed EK433 closing by about an hour, then took AKL SIN 2355 0645 SQ282 connecting there with SIN BKK SQ970 0845 1010 then BKK REP PG905 1100 1220.
