I hope Gary & Mallory survives though the preview shatters any hopes of them surviving but maybe hello, reverse-psychology? <3 and this leg they also got a foreshadowing confesh but it was Nick/Vicki who succumbed.

Why the dislike of Jill and THomas. They seemed to be above average racers, they haven't been rude or mean to other racers or locals, and they certainly haven't behaved as badly as many, many teams have over the years. In fact so far this season has had fairly well behaved teams across the board.

Because they're boring? :lol:

NOT boring. :lol: At all.
Remember Terence's edit? About as far from the real life Terence as it is possible to be. Editing can do whatever it wants... remember that what you see is often nothing like what happened. :tup:

I knew TAR was trying to screw up Terence and Sarah's edit and in real life the two are no where near what they're edited to be.
As for Jill and Thomas, maybe let's not say they're boring.. but rather.. the other teams are relatively more entertaining and fun to watch? :lol:

I haven't seen any red cards, but the gorodki is the RB? And since they take taxis to the circus, I have no idea what the bus is for.

It doesn't look like the bus is even used by the teams as everything is too close together for that. I can definitely see how the leg could work out like this:
1. Teams go to the Church first and wait for it to open (some teams may get lost or misdirect others between the PS and the church)
2. They do the RB at Gorodki all arriving at similar times
3. Some teams take longer than others there
4. They do the Detour at the circus
5. The Pit Stop is somewhere closer to the circus

Based on vidcaps and the comments of others, it seems the Hours of Operation (HoO) bunching is at the circus.
And we need to fit a SpeedBump in there somewhere.
Prophet:
We had all forgotten about the speed bump, gator. However I thought the working assumption was that the detour was the last task as it is much farther from the PS than the RB is.
Remember the church museum opens at 11 am and it looked the the sun was still in the east on caps 24 and 25.

I don't really dislike Jill & Thomas -- or at least Jill. I mildly dislike Thomas when he's acting superior because he had a college education, but the main reason why I don't love them is because I like most of the other teams more.

I think we need to get back on track on this thread. We were talking about the order of tasks in Episode 7.
