TAR 18 Ep. 4: This is the Most Stupid Day Ever (Lijiang, China)
theschnauzers:
We still don't know for sure if there's any NEL penalty this season. I think the odds are that K/V will get the 30 minute penalty for not being on the required flight, they won't have any "time saved" added to that penalty since they didn't save any time.
I suspect they will be hit with a NEL penalty of some sort; if not that means WRP has abandoned the NEL penalty this season.
I also suspect K/V will also be U-Turned; in fact, if the teams use their brains (looking at M/L in particular), they will also U-Turn Z/J.
BayBay:
It is interesting to note that Phil did not say teams are under no obligation to use this flight. Similar to the Season 14 flight where teams had to go through Moscow to get to their next destination, however even in that case there was more than one way to get there.
I also think that the flight research was done at the stop over on the way to Kunming - the teams seemed way to relaxed haha

And I will bet that K/V do get a penalty of some sort for not taking the "required" flight. Otherwise why require it?? :duno: though...

Well since they let them go, starting at 830 pm........that means about a 28 hour pit stop. There were lots of flights before the 940am flight. BUT if they took any of those.........they would get to Lijiang in the afternoon and start the leg in darkness and end in darkness.....not good for HD filming......is it? By forceing teams to take that 950 flight........they insured that no teams could get to Lijiang before the next morning, so they could film in daylight. Also...they didnt have to pay the local crew to be a the tasks all night long waiting for teams.
But TPTB have been doing all sort of different stuff.........so they just might hand out a penalty for getting lost.
The editing showed K/V getting their tickets at the airport........whether they did or not.....?
