Slowhatch:
I'm not sure if it was editing or just a mistake on Shannon's part, but she said "8:30" and the monitor presented 19:15. Anyway, it's a calendar confirmation.

Neobie:
It's a huge pity that Jody/Shannon didn't bother to look for connecting buses knowing they were at the back. There was a bus that left Santiago at 1.30pm that could have got them into Temuco at 10.30pm, with three hours of slack to catch the 1.30am bus to Puerto Varas the couples got on...

And they arrived in Santiago at 7.30am! What were they thinking? :groan:

georgiapeach:
Just in case these are helpful...(thanks for the reminder Slowhatch!!)

Episode 1 special thanks


Episode 2 special thanks

Neobie:
Thanks Peach! Ah, looks like teams were made to take the Ascensor Conception as well, just before the paint task - that could somewhat explain Brent/Caite's move. They probably took the second ascensor, thinking that fulfilled the requirement, but skipping the earlier Ascensor Villaseca down their first hill.

Neobie:
A night leg in Hamburg, with Jet/Cord running around in broad daylight? Can we figure this one out?

Phil eliminated Monique/Shawne after sunset (9.03pm) on 2 Dec, which means he's missed the last flight out of Bariloche airport at 8.20pm. The earliest flight the next day to Buenos Aires doesn't leave until the late morning, and here's the fastest itinerary for him:
AR 1681 to Buenos Aires AEP: 1110 (3 Dec) - 1313
Transfer to Buenos Aires EZE
AF 417 to Paris: 1800 - 1100 (4 Dec)
AF 2210 to Hamburg: 1525 - 1655

This means he arrives after sunset (4.02pm), so I believe with a day for Phil to relax, the bulk of the teams don't start racing in Hamburg until the evening of the 5th. Note that all other teams checked in before sunset, meaning that if it were a 12h Pit Stop, pretty much every team would be on the same flight as Phil going into Hamburg.

But... is this a daylight shot?



If Jet/Cord, leaving first from the Pit Stop, miss all flights on 3 Dec, they would be best off taking the same itinerary as proposed above, arriving in Hamburg at the earliest at 4.55pm on 5 Dec. That has them arriving after sunset, which wouldn't give us a daytime shot, unless the leg stretches over to the next morning (I'd say unlikely)...

But if they took the last flight out of Bariloche on the 3rd, they'd be able to make this itinerary:
AR 2689 to Buenos Aires AEP: 2015 (3 Dec) - 2218
Transfer to Buenos Aires EZE
JJ 8003 to Sao Paulo: 0400 (4 Dec) - 0745
LH 505 to Munich: 1440 - 0520 (5 Dec)
LH 36 to Hamburg: 0635 - 0755

... Which gives the brothers a 9h lead. Is that at all possible?

ETA: Even if TPTB mandates entering Germany via Frankfurt, Jet/Cord would arrive in Hamburg at 11.15am over the next best flight arriving at 5.00pm. If TPTB mandates entering Germany in Hamburg, Jet/Cord could potentially arrive at 11.35am via London.
