I think it's more likely that Maria/Tiffany get eliminated this leg, rather than the next leg for logistical reasons. IIRC, they weren't seen on the ferry, so that means they would have traveled ahead to get to Tallin with production. They would have needed a day or so to get out of Race mode and get debriefed on what production wanted them to do in Tallin. I don't think they could be eliminated in Sweden and have enough time to be decoys the very next day in another country. That would suggest to me that this leg would be an elimination and not the leg in Sweden.

the schnauzers, I seldom disagree with your judgments, but I do on this one. If Maria/Tiffany needed time to get acclimated to a decoy role (it isn't that hard and should not take long particularly for poker players who are natural actresses), the ferry ride from Sweden to Helsinki and then the short ride from Helsinki to Talinn would provide ample time for that. I believe that Maria/Tiffany got eliminated after Mika/Canaan and before Gary/Matt and Nate/Herb. That would have them finishing 6th. It could happen in either Groningen or in Stockholm, depending on how the TBC/NELs shape up.

Not necessarily...they could have easily have been flown in that day, explaining the later arrival than the ferry offers.
theschnauzers:
Some of this is going to depend on the length of time for the pitstops. But if the Sweden pitstop is standard, then I'm more skeptical that any team could acclimate themselves out of Race mode overnight. But it's all speculation based on what is known, and we'll just have to wait for more information to come to light.

Chateau,
I recomend that you take another look at your TIMELINE timing for Dubai second leg until the arrival in Groningen.
The first Dubai leg appeared to end in the 10am (leading teams) to 11am (lagging teams except for Lance/Keri later) time frame. That means release from the second Dubai pit stop will be at 10pm to 11pm. This gives teams time to get to Dubai International Airport. Peach has hypothesized that the logical flight would be in the "wee hours" and maybe through Brussels. I can no longer verify that flight, but here is something interesting:
Wed. July 29 Gulfair 513 DXB BAH 2345 2359
Thur. July 30 Gulfair 17 BAH FRA 0150 0645
LH 312 FRA BRE 0915 1010
NOTE - Below here major revisions have been made.
Looks great, but Gulfair 17 on July 30 was 4 hours 3 minutes leaving and 4 hours late arriving. Teams can find a later but better connection:
DXB FRA LH631 0215 0605
FRA LCY BA8731 0700 0740
LCY AMS BA8451 0830 1040
or FRA BRE LH340 0700 0755
This with a 52 miles drive from Bremen to Groningen will put teams into Groningen before 10am.
This one's for you, Peach!

I think the flight I referenced was from Tel Aviv :lol: to Brussels, which was later determined of course to not be necessary.
So thanks! There was also some more info on flight stuff here although not sure if it is outdated?? I know we thought that perhaps steffis's spoiiler could refer to a team WAY behind, which I think changed the early thought.

NEOBIE??
I love the correlation between the cars and another route to Groningen. BUT I also know that Dutch believed the teams came directly from Dubai, and noted lots of busses there from Amsterdam on the day before the task, which could have been the production team of course.
