No challenge edited out...just the go to the hotel and get a tag. And we already knew they went there...

The cabbie thing was more of a curse I think. For the teams like E/J and R/B who apparently got an AWFUL cabbie, they could not recover. No chance in the rural locations for getting another.

--- End quote ---

Although I'm not a fan of couples from other reality shows appearing on TAR, Ethan seems to be one of the most likable individuals in the genre.  At least this episode answered the question posed by people speculating that Ethan might propose to Jenna if they crossed the finish line together.

krabbe:
The only gripe I have about this episode is the misleading edit about Jakarta (or Indonesia). As Dom mentioned, the train with the people on the roof? That was not the outbound train the teams took, or any outbound train for that matter. And do they really need to show a slum as the first shot to introduce Indonesia? Granted it's not a first world country, but it's like the producers are hell bent in portraying Indonesia as India. /end of rant

Neobie:
The Aisyiyah Orphanage is 1km from the entrance gate of the Kraton. We see Bill's watch at their first arrival at the mat (12.20pm, Vidcap A), and again at their second time at the orphanage (12.35pm, Vidcap B). 15 minutes to the kilometre, sounds about right.

For Amani/Marcus, however, B@M says here that their first arrival at the mat was at 11.48am, but their second arrival (and final check-in time) had Marcus' watch say 12.45pm (Vidcap C). Did they really take a full hour to walk 2km, or were they held up for something else?

Now integrating this with the departure shots for Leg 3... I've shown in the Ep3 thread that the displayed times in the episode were off by two hours, which means that Amani/Marcus actually departed at 10.32am (which jives with Marcus' watch in that scene, Vidcap D). Adding everything together, the Leg 2 Pit Stop was, give or take a few minutes, 21h50min long.

Edited to remove blabber about times, directions and shadows, the route teams took wasn't a straight one...
