TAR16 - EP5: "I Think We're Fighting the Germans, Right?" (France)
apskip:
I have been rethinking transportation from Hamburg to Lille. It can be done by train, which is good since the driving distance is 356 miles. Here is the best schedule:
Train 515 5:38AM (note - there is an earlier train at 523am but there wold be no little gain from taking it)
Hamburg Hbf
9:46AM
Koeln Hbf,
4hr 8min
Thalys9428 10:44AM
Koeln Hbf,
12:32PM
Bruxelles Midi,
1hr 48min
Train9828 12:49PM
Bruxelles Midi,
1:23PM
Lille
0hr 34min
There are other trains, but they tend to have outlandish out-of-the-way routes and much longer transit times.
The above suggests that maybe teams flew from Hamburg to Lille. That is a reasonable option. Here are the schedules:
AF3231 HAM LYS 0610 0815 via Lyon
AF7813 LYS LIL 0845 0955
AF3231 HAM CDG 0710 0845
AF7813 CDG XDB (this is really a train connection from CDG to the train station at Lille airport) 1027 1128
AF3233 HAM LYS 1220 1405
AF7815 LYS LIL 1530 1645
AF3235 HAM LYS 1745 1930
AF7817 LYS LIL 1955 2110
Caelestor:
Have we considered airplane from Hamburg to Paris and then TGV to Lille?
If they took the train, shame on TPTB for bypassing Belgium.

--- Quote from: slayton on March 07, 2010, 09:18:09 PM ---I'll agree, thanks to puddin's screencaps, that it's probably Joe & Heidi.
In the insider videos for the first three episodes, there has always been at least one video where Louie & Michael and/or Dan & Jordan have bashed Joe. (They seem to be as obsessed with Joe as Lynn & Alex and Susan & Patrick were about Rob & Amber.)
This insider video from episode 3 is probably the most telling one:

--- End quote ---
If Joe & Heidi are the targets, it's most likely either because Joe & Heidi helped Carol & Brandy at the expense of the other teams in episode 2 (Dan & Jordan and Louie & Michael) or because Joe & Heidi chose to align with Steve & Allie last time (Carol & Brandy).

:duno: Just going to put my 2 cents in, and say that the plane is a German Fokker Triplane, same type used by Baron von Richthofen (Red Baron). He was shot down near Amiens, France. That's about it. This trench could be anywhere, but it does look too new and shiny, kind of like a movie set or theme park... hmmmmm :res: OK, enough with the spreculation. Can't really spoil trees and dirt. :snicker:
kwando1313:
I think that assault course is a detour actually: It looks like right after they finish the assault course, then the U-Turn appears. But I can't find any assault courses in France...
