TAR 18 Ep 9 "We're Good American People" (Switzerland)
apskip:
lovetherace,
There were numerous flight connections to get from Tokyo-Narita to Chengdu both before and after the "mandatory" flight. As you would know if you carefully read earlier threads on this, there was no reason to put all teams on that flight other than:
Knowledge by World Race Productions that all teams plus their camera and sound guys could fit into that flight combination or
WRP not wanting any teams to arrive in Jiangji before 5am
So, there was no reason for the penalty assessed on Kent/Vyxsin to be more than the 30 minutes. I have made a case for there being no penalty other than the later arrival time they had into Jiangji. The other racers like Luke, Margie, Cara and Jaime who argued for a 24 hour penalty were ignorant of flight alternatives and had a vested interest in a bigger penalty.
lovetherace:
Really no reason to be unpleasant, I was only noting some information said by racers in a source of interviews I didn't recall seeing mentioned much.
What was interesting to me particularly was seeing how things are shaded by editing, something I hadn't fully appreciated before. I'm sure those of you with long experience here are fully aware of this, but it was a lesson for me.
With respect to the specific question, I did also feel that given the delay of the later flight, a 30 minute penalty was reasonable for K/V, and I didn't understand why it was an issue with the other racers. According to the interviews, it seemed that the issue was more one of how the instructions were worded, with racers feeling more that they had been deceived by TPTB, rather than a particular grudge against K/V. I wasn't presenting an argument, just pointing out some information.
Perhaps I will just go back to lurking...
