I don't like the precedent either, but consider that team were all going to bunch minutes after pit stop release at the trian station. If you want to be mad about something, then why did AR14 producers make them wait nearly 10 hours for a train to Novosibirsk when there were about 6 trains in that time period? I think this is worth getting upset about.

It is most certainly strange timing, apskip. I just figured that TPTB would have rather had the teams wandering around sightseeing in the evening in Krasnoyarsk than sitting at an HoH deal in Novosibirsk in the very early morning hours. I would think that security of the teams would be easier the way they did it.

Dr. Rox:
The last non-eliminated team(Mark and Michael) would have reached the pit stop no later than about 230pm to 3pm in Krasnoyarsk. All teams could have gotten on a train after a 24 hour pitstop for a 13 hour trip to Novosibirsk at any time from then until 1026pm but I am speculating now that the reason for the late departure was to allow leading teams to enjoy themselves aftere clarifying their train time/ticket information. Since they already had a 24 hour pit stop, that was not necessary.
Belle Book:
Here's my rating of the teams, beginning with our first-place team:
Margie & Luke -- another first-place finish! This team's doing awfully well so far! Will definitely make the Final 4!
Tammy & Victor -- really shouldn't just use people only to dump them later. However, only Cara & Jamie have room to complain since Margie & Luke used the Blind U-Turn.
Cara & Jamie -- much improved! Now if only Cara had ran instead of walked, they'd have done a little better. Still, great job!
Mel & Mike -- I'd have gone for the Russian Snowplow Detour, but Mel's age is probably why they went for Russian Bride. Still, good job.
Mark & Michael -- pretty good but they're still near the back of the pack.
LaKisha & Jen -- from second to sixth! Not good. Of course, part of the reason is that they didn't do well with driving.
Christie & Jodi -- and from first to last! Ouch. I hope they last past the next leg -- I have them in Joab's game!
