Okay...since it appears that the Phuket flight info may be correct...what are our options for getting them out of there, presumably on the 25th??

Mostly internal flights to Bangkok, international flights to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. (there are a lot of those).
There are a few flights to China and Australia but since i suppose we look for westward flights the only other option would be a flight to Moscow. (unlikely)
georgiapeach:
They can get anywhere from Bangkok or Singapore...

Good job to Zacz for the Malawi find!
LEG 4
It seems to have become a production rule for TPTB to direct teams through the same entry port in each country to smoothen out customs. Since we know that teams flew through Bangkok, for now I'm ruling out flights from Singapore and Malaysia to Phuket.
Here's one set of flights teams were reported on on 24 Jun:
QZ 7341 from Yogyakarta to Jakarta, 1245-1345
QZ 7716 from Jakarta to Bangkok, 1635-2000
(FD 3035 from Bangkok to Phuket, 2120-2240, postulated)
Other teams were seen on an earlier Bangkok-Phuket flight, which suggests:
(GA 205 from Yogyakarta to Jakarta, 0940-1045, or earlier)
TG 434 from Jakarta to Bangkok, 1235-1605, or
GA 868 from Jakarta to Bangkok, 1250-1615
FD 3031 from Bangkok to Phuket, 1900-2020

LEG 5
If Kenya works out, I've a feeling the producers will be aiming for this direct flight from Thailand to Kenya, both for Phil (on the morning of the 26th) and the teams (morning of 27th):
KQ 861 from Bangkok to Nairobi, 0035-0605
This means that departures from Phuket will be the night before, the afternoon/evening of the 25th for Phil, and afternoon/evening of the 26th for the teams.

LEG 6
From Kenya to Malawi tomorrow (29 Jun), I think production may be aiming for this direct flight for the teams:
KQ 722 from Nairobi to Lilongwe, 0825-0935
And this flight today (28 Jun) for Phil:
KQ 724 from Nairobi to Lusaka, 0825-1005
KQ 724 from Lusaka to Lilongwe, 1105-1215
Prophet:
Since it is not likely that there will be sightings in Malawi tomorrow I thought it would be useful to put some guesses at where they will head next based on transport options.
Assuming that the pitstart would be early morning on the 30th they would have to wait all the way until 13.15 to depart back to Nairobi, one of the few places LLW flies to.
Otherwise they can hop over to BLZ where they can arrive at 7.50 AM and make QM 201 to JNB arriving at 11.10.
If Europe is the next destination after two Africa legs then Joburg is not the way to go since it does not fly to Europe without a really long wait. So the only point in going there would be to run a leg in that region.
To get to Europe, Nairobi is the better choice as it has connections to Paris, London and Amsterdam that day.
If they are remaining in Africa for a third leg there are many options to other African countries from NBO.
