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.

I would not surprised if TAR arranged for the Ding-Ding to stay open for them.

--- 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.

8 TO 10 HOURS BEHIND?! Yikes, that is a long time!

You could only see the flag for a few frames; these were "amazing" ding dings.

Thanks Slowhatch.........when I was watching the episode.......I did realize there was no one else on the trolley and thought they were probably "chartered."
