This tells me that unless Jet & Cord got terribly lost on their way to the PS, they will be safe from elimination. It's Zev and Justin that are in deep doo doo. JMO
:'( It makes me sad. I like Zev & Justin a lot more than the trotter or the goths and 100 times more than Kisha & Jen!

And what evidence do you have that says it's pick up the book and go to the pitstop? Or for that matter, who's to say that shot of the cowboys is outside the pit stop? There is a lot to figure out yet. As posted above, we can't assume anything about the book and take it as fact. People are taking this driving in the dark thing way to seriously.

Wow! :ascared Are you a little grumpy north? I am trying to figure this out, just like everyone else. I simply stated what I believe and that is, the cowboys are safe. This is based on seeing the promos and reading the thread. It is a three hour drive between Salzburg and Vienna. I just don't think it makes sense for them to arrive in Salzburg, get the book, drive to Vienna and do the RB & Detour and then drive all the way back to Salzburg for the PS. It makes more since for them to arrive in Vienna, do the RB and Detour, drive to Salzburg, pick up the book and go to the pitstop which is located in Salzburg. They MIGHT arrive in Vienna, do the detour, drive to Salzburg, get the book and do the roadblock and then go to the pitstop, HOWEVER, the shots of the PS are in the daylight. The shot of Kisha and Jen hoping they are OK are in the daylight, Cowboys got the book in the daylight, Zev & Justin got the book in the dark which indicates they are at the back of the pack, if not last. So, unless the cowboys got horribly lost, they are safe. JMO

Now after reading Peaches statement... it is always possible that the book thing was 1st IF they picked it up in Vienna instead of Salzburg... In that case, the cowboys are behind Zev & Justin because dark comes before daylight in the morning and daylight before dark in the evening. BUT One would think that they would get stuck with HOO. Say the place they got the book opened at 7:00am, then the cowboys would be pretty far behind. (Did all teams make the same flight to Vienna or did the boys get lost?)
One thing we need to find out is where they did the RB. It has something to do with Chimney Sweeping. Peach indicates the RB is in Salzburg.

In the caps scene no. 6 is a closeup of the Hapsburg family crest which is located above the passageway leading from the original Hofburg palace to the Neue Burg and the Heidemplatz.
Scene no. 29 is of the Trotters getting into their car which is parked in the Heidenplatz in front of the Neue Burg with the Burgtor in the background leading across the Burgring to the Maria-Theresia Platz and site of a Christmas Market where the detour clue could be given out.
Hopefully Peach will post the pix of above which I have sent her.
Another thought: if the book the teams must pick up is located in Vienna the Austrian National Library which is in the Hofburg complex might be the location.

That's what I was trying to say, but you said it so much better. That is where they were spotted I believe.

I like that a lot. That seems to be a great possibility.

Something to think about.........
Teams finished Leg 7 in Varanasi about sunset on Dec 3, 2110.
Phil flew to Vienna on Dec 4, 2110. It was too late to fly out of Varanasi on Dec 3 for him. He arrived in Vienna the morning of Dec 5, which gives him the day to film his standups.
There were 4 flights from Varanasi on Dec 5, between 1340-1615 that teams could use to fly from Varanasi to Delhi. It all depends on when teams were released from the extended Pit Stop.
Cowboys were seen about midnight of Dec5/6 in the food court of the Delhi airport. They were obviously waiting for OS34, 0230-0600 (0549). It did arrive 21 minutes early. If one would project 1 hour to deplane and clear custom/immigration, then Cowboys could have been on the road at about 0649 on Dec 6th.
No other teams were observed traveling on this leg.
But........................................
There is another flight to Vienna from India. It is OS 36. BOM (Mumbai)-VIE, 0125-0535 (0504), arriving 31 minutes early.
There was only 1 flight from Varanasi to Mumbai that day, Dec 5, 2110 IC 195 1345-1545. That seems like a pretty hard flight to catch unless teams were released to simulate a old fashioned 12 hour pit stop.
But if teams were to do a Mirna/Charla and fly from Varanasi to Delhi.......then there were 15 flights from Delhi to Mumbai from about 1800 to 2330.......plenty of time to catch the OS 36 @ 0125. This could explain a couple of things....
1) no other teams were spotted in the Delhi airport, only the Cowboys.....
2) could explain the Cowboys comment coming out of that castle....they are head of at least one team with an approximate 40 minute headstart on arriving in Vienna........
3) Could mean the pack is trying to separate itself from the Cowboys and left them alone in the Delhi airport.
