TARAsiaFan,
These indicate a regular 12 hour pit stop, so how is that "screwing with us on departure times again"?

By the looks of things, Leg 5 wasn't a 12-hour pit stop, if you are referring to Leg 5 of course.

TARAsiaFan, Sam and Dan have a calculator to sell you. It looks like you desperately need one. Oh, wait. You can do this by hand: what is 817am - sometime about 1 to 2 hours before 10pm? Golly, it's 12 hours. OK what is 959am - 10pm? Gee, it's 12 hours once again. My guesstimates start times were off by almost an hour for Sam/Dan, Maria/Tiffany, Sam/Dan but I am confident that thye had 12 hour pit stops. To paraphrase what someone has said, "just because you proclaim it doesn't make it so." It clearly was a 12 hour pit stop!

...but using Chateau's arrival time for Meghan and Cheyne last leg;
--- Quote ---This shot was taken between 8:22 and 8:34 am (assumes July 27th).
--- End quote ---
and their start time from this episode
--- Quote ---We did... 817 AM. for Meghan and Cheyne and 959 for Brian/Ericka.
--- End quote ---
it seems we can settle this as a 24 hour pitstop. What am I missing? :duno:

--- End quote ---
This is not the way I saw it. The attendant had timed starting with the arrival of Herb/Nate. He had warned Mika and Canaan that after 2 minutes they would have to give up their place in the chute. Mika was doing as ordered when she got out.
--- End quote ---
I have to agree with Mr. Amazing Race on this. The attendant told her to step aside and she did.

Uh, folks, it's a race for a million dollars, not a race to see who can make the most friends. Mika/Canaan had ample time to take their turn, they had no right to hang the other teams up. And yes, maybe the guys could have outrun them to the pitstop if they sat back and waited for her to get the nerve to go, but they are still in a race against 5 other teams. Those few precious minutes of patiently waiting could come back and bite them in the butt in a future leg.
--- End quote ---
I know, it's a race for a million dollars, but at least half the teams on the past 14 seasons won the race with class and poise. The globetrotters actions were pretty much uncalled for. They could have beaten Mika and Canaan anytime in a footrace. Do i need to bring up the example of Uchenna and Joyce all over again?
--- End quote ---
Yes, I agreed they could have beaten Mika & Canaan at a foot race...but they still have next leg to worry about. How much time are they supposed to give up to wait for her? Canaan said they spent 45 minutes up there. She could have easily spent another 45. And while they could win a foot race and survive this leg, the time they spent waiting for her could jeopardize them in the next leg. Sometimes teams miss flights by mere minutes, every second in TAR is valuable.
