TAR 17 EP 10 "I Hate Chinese Food" (Hong Kong, China)
bowtakwah:
In Ding Ding, teams rode the Hong Kong Tramways, locally known as the "Ding Ding", looking for three signs reading "Pit Stop", "Statue", and "Square", which reveal the location of the Pit Stop.
"Pit Stop"

In the Sampan detour, the starting line was near the Jumbo floating restaurant
And what was Nick doing in the ladies' loo?

:lol3: I thought about the same thing too, even with the cameramen. :snicker:

I am not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the normal HoO for the Ding Ding detour (Hong Kong Tramways) is from 6am to midnight - with midnight being the time the last trams depart from their termini.

Likely, B/C and N/V got to the Bruce Lee Statue late enough for the Ding Ding not to be an option for them and J/T bled enough time at the Ding Ding to force them to switch because they approaching closing time.

--- Quote from: Belle Book ---Well, the only thing I could think of as to why Nick & Vicki would fall so far behind the other teams is if Vicki couldn't finish the task and thus took the penalty. But missing a ferry could also contribute to their falling so far behind. And I'm not suggesting Vicki gave up for no good reason -- I can only assume she got so sick that she really couldn't continue!

As it turned out, it was both. Before quitting the detour, Nick mentioned it was 4:00 a.m., and with the six hour penalty, I'm guessing they are 8 to 10 hours behind the other teams at the start of the next leg, perhaps even more.

Why not wait for the sun to rise and then search again? This would be less than 6 hours. Of course they did not know it was a NEL and that the time would actually matter.
