One of the challenges that faced the contestants was to pull each other through Phuket City in the midday heat using rickshaws as they searched for “King Rama V Park”.

I'm wondering now about the herbal shop/rickshaws being the two detour choices. Four pairs were witnessed with the rickshaws. We have Cara/Jamie and Michael/Mark in the herbal shop. That means everyone else would have had to pick the rickshaws. Would Mel/Mike have really chosen to do that? But I can't figure out another way for it to work.
Brought over from the spoiler page:

I came to the same conclusion as you did TARAsia. I looked back at the photos of Margie collapsing and there are no other teams present that I could see. Just a lot of crew. I think that Jamie/Cara arrived at the pit stop while the med staff are attending to Margie lying on the ground. Jamie is looking down at something and I assume it is Margie.

I have been looking at the shadows in all the shots. It appears to me that T/V arrive at the Pit Stop much much earlier than anyone else. There is no shadow on the stupa. In the pics of Mel/Mike, Kisha/Jen, Luke/Margie and Mark/Michael the shadow is almost the same. So a pretty close finish. I can't really tell in the photo of Jamie/Cara, but there seems to be a faint shadow that matches the other 4 teams. From the blogger, we know that Mel/Mike and T/V arrived on a flight by themselves. So I wonder how come the mat times for these two teams are so far apart. In the photo of Victor pulling the rickshaw in Phuket city, the shadows appear around noon to me also.

Could it be that Mike/Mel get actually lost now in Phuket - like in the commercials? making T/V arriving so much earlier than the others? and if they really are the first team to arrive - they probably get the penalty, but would still remain first? Arrgh! It's so confusing!
We speculate that Margie/Luke would probably be ahead of Cara/Jaime for a few minutes because of the photo up few posts back... but wouldn't the "ideal way" be staff be bringing Margie to someplace cooler first before checking in Jaime/Cara?

I think that the task involving Thai fishing boats may well turn out to be a detour choice....

And I would take those newspaper reports with a grain of salt. They were as nice as they could be, to me by email and to Neobie in person, but this is also the paper who told me directly that the team in our photo was a female/female team. I think they had a very limited perspective and would not count on the 4 teams thing as gospel.
SO SORRY, LUKE!! :-[ :-[ :-[

TARAsia fan, I think you too are right. I had looked at the multi-colored tee shirt Luke has on at the mat and discounted it being brown, but there could well be enough solid brown in the right places within the multicolored pattern.
