That's what I really remembered more than anything else.
I had forgotten that there was a RB and a detour choice involving a camel. We are overdue a camel cameo though.
That leg was the first time BJ and Tyler came in last on a NEL. They managed to do it again and still win the final.

Back to topic please? :res:

So if Jill/Thomas weren't exaggerating to the guy in Muscat airport (they told him they'd lose if they couldn't get a flight to Bangladesh within 8 hours), does this mean they came in 2nd to last in the 2nd Russian leg? Or am I simplifying things?

According to my speculation they may finish in the bottom half in episode 7. However there is a whole leg between that one and the flight to Bangladesh.

I think the sleeping-in incident is a classic red herring, typical of a misdirection play by World Race Productions. The teams would have checked in on or before noon at Peter and Paul Monument bastion pit stop. They appear to be released in the daytime, so they could get either a 24 hour or 18 hour pit stop. that would release them + or - noon if a 24 hou8r pit stop. Flight possibilities from St. Petersburg to Muscat all connect in either SVO or DME airports in Moscow. here are the schedules to stay even:
leg 7 6/7 St. Petersburg to Muscat:
LED SVO Aeroflot or Rossiya hourly connecting to SU519 SVO DXB 2018 0103+1 connecting to EK866 DXB MCT 0253+1 0348+1 or
LED DME S7 Airlines or Rossiya hourly connecting to EK134 DME DXB 1745 2244 connecting to EK866 DXB MCT 0253+1 0348+1 or
So, as long as teams get to LED airport in St. Petersburg before about 5pm for a one hour flight to Moscow they should still be able to make the later connecting flight to Dubai and then from there to Muscat.
