The Amazing Race 17 TIMELINE/Spoiler Summary Thread
DrRox:
Question for woden or MsShrek.....
Are you going to edit the previous episodes segments to correct the tasks. ie, the wheelbarrow task was a route info task and the detour was language arts/bicycle parts....?
Just wondered if you were going to correct for posterity/archieves?
woden:
In the past, I've left it as an "archive" of the information we had going into the episode -- Wikipedia and other sources have the official version of what happened each leg. :tup:
Neobie:
It makes close to zero sense for anyone to transit from St Petersburg to Bangladesh via Oman, so I'm thinking Bangladesh is one leg. Have to spend some time looking at the schedule, I think there may have been a mistranslation from the Oman spoiler with regards to date, did we ever get a definite date for that from the airport staff?
walkingpneumonia:
I have a theory as to why the teams are in Muscat for a very short time. On June 4 cyclone Phet hit Oman, killing 2 people and effecting oil and gas production. Winds near 120kph and heavy rains in Muscat.
This occurred while the teams were in Norway.
If you look at the photos in flickr for the date, you can see that there was quite a bit of flooding in Muscat. School exams were canceled for the whole week.
I speculate that there may have been some damage done to some of the infrastructure that would be needed for TAR to hold a complete leg there so TPTB had to do some rescheduling. So in one episode we get travel from St.Petersburg, maybe a single task in Muscat city, then travel to Bangladesh.
This is just speculation - trying to explain the weirdness of the sightings of teams in Muscat.
