I'd just like to add here a BIG THANK YOU to the AXN live updaters for doing such a good job!
Thank you Z-1988 and cutelegs in particular!!
georgiapeach:
NICE! snap-on, thanks for all that--we can look it up later...
Oh you two did SUCH a good job!! I want to go back and study every word! :jumpy: :hearts: :jumpy:

I now want to work backward using the information from actual ep.8 to help decipher what happened on flights. First, on a Sunday evening, the earliest arrivals in Cochin are from Mumbai at 1915 and 2040. However, teams departing Hong Kong direct for Mumbai (a route that did not come up in my analyses) would have choice of only CX751 1425 2005 or HI715 1730 0015+1. In either case, they would miss the connections to Mumbai and be stuck with AI690 BOM COK 0130 0330. Why would anyone want to do that?
That will be behind any teams that took any of the combinations in my previous post and MI(SilkAir)468 SIN COK 2155 2350. However, 2 teams apparently messed up on their arrangements by going HKG SIN BOM COK. Flight information for those routes are:
HKG SIN SQ863 1330 1720 or CX735 1415 1800 or CX711 1615 2000
SIN BOM (arriving in a window from about 2100 until 0100) 1905 2150 9W or 2015 2315 SQ424
Note that SQ424 would have to be almost 2 hours late to cause 2 teams to miss AI690 0130+1 0330+1
Those teams are then left with either BOM COK IC161 0535+1 0720+1 or 9W405 0545+1 0735+1

So sorry, there were so many changes in the order of the race, I couldn't afford to look down at my laptop! :umn:
But as to your other remark...
--- Quote ---So I&T get the penalty (MEAN G&T!!!)
--- End quote ---
...the editing only made it look like they were neck and neck. G&T actually got to the pitstop with time to spare. So they couldn't have deferrred to I&T even they had the opportunity. Besides, the last time they let another team have the mat (O&M) they lost $5000!
What an upset! I'm happy that I&T finally caught up! And of course, I'm happy that G&T are first again. (Did I ever mention that I spent an evening with them over the last New Year's holidays? Never saw them again but....)
Ooooooh, the Pinoy- and G&T-haters are not going to like this episode one bit :knuckles:. I'm not even going to peek into the Survivor Sucks forum; it'll be a bloodbath!
Can't wait for the next leg!
georgiapeach:
Is anyone else in shock at the standings?
I LOVE how I&T are playing the game and am SO happy my prediction was wrong!!
But :congrats: to A/D for second place!
And oh my, Henry and Bernie had been playing SUCH a strong game, how sad to go because of a missed connection.
Thanks bikermama for explaining that! No one really expects them to step aside....I guess! :funny:
