TAR 19 EP 8 "Super Shady" (Copenhagen, Denmark)
mswood:
By the way Chateau said we see Jeremy & Sandy, Laurence & Zac and Amani & Marcus at the detour site together.
What picture is this in, because going through the videos and caps I don't see anything.

If we know Amani and Marcus are behind to start the leg. Then se era, things are possible.
It's possible that they caught up.
It's possible that two other teams got UTurned.
It's possible that Laurence and Zac and Jeremy and Sandy are the teams UTurned, this could be the first part of the detour or they could both be performing the UTurn part of the detour.
It's possible that some other team UTurned Amani and Marcus, if teams know they missed a flight ( and apparently with an hours of operation wait) then Amani and Marcus would be the most rational team to UTurn.
It's primarily about making sure you aren't eliminated. Hitting the team in last place is the best chance to ensure you don't get eliminated.

yeh I know, the reason I am asking is because I saw Chateau posting on another board saying that the clue of which team being U-turned has already been posted in RFF, so I am trying to figure it out~~
I agree that it's possible that the U-turned team is not Marcus/Amani, but if they are really behind from the start then it would make them an easy target..

If so I would assume its buried somewhere in either the spoiler thread or the live sightings thread. Sometimes all that info isn't brought forward.
Chateau d If:
I'm trying to pull this all together right now ...
Chateau d If:
U-Turn Sequencing
Assume that the Detour follows the Roadblock and the Pit Stop follows the Detour without any other task beside just getting there. This is coming from talking with people at all three locations and getting a sense of what time of day it was when Race activity was seen. Also, we need the time that the leg effectively began. That was at 7:30 am at the Vor Frelsers Kirke. The assumption gets strengthened by the picture of Ernie and Cindy checking in at the mat taken at 12:06 pm. The Teams are self driving and the drive times are roughly 40 minutes from Vor Frelsers to Frederiksborg Slot in Hillerod, 20 minutes from there to Frilandsmuseet, and 25 min from there to Larsen’s Plads.
Assume that Marcus & Amani fly from AMS to CPH arriving between 8:20 and 9:30 am (SK 550 or KL 1125). Somehow they get to Copenhagen soon enough to get themselves to the point of rabbit selection by 1:35 pm so they are not too many hours late to the Hours of Operation opening. Add 40 minutes from CPH landing to reaching Vor Frelsers Kirke. I suspect they had to spend the night at AMS. The last AMS to CPH flight on July 3rd left at 9:40 pm.
Assume most Teams prefer the Butter side of the Detour due to animal uncertainty. So the first Teams to Frilandsmuseet are all making butter together. They have a good idea of how far back the other Teams are based on what they got to see in The Great Hall. They probably have not yet seen Marcus & Amani but fear they could sail through the Roadblock unlike the trailing teams.
Assume Ernie & Cindy finish making Butter first. They slap their nearest completion with the U-Turn in order to improve their odds of taking a first place finish.
Assume the nearest completion at that point was Bill & Cathi. This is supported by our seeing Bill & Cathi doing Bunnies with 5 other empty bunny lanes.
1) The Bunny side of the Detour requires teams to assemble their Kanninhop course. We see piles of unassembled components at the bottom of each lane.
2) There are 7 lanes, the one on the far right (bunny's right) is the example
3) The lane next to the example has been selected by Bill & Cathi.
4) While Bill & Cathi are Kanninhopping we see 5 unused lanes to their left and also 4 piles of components for the four lanes to their left (5th pile is out of view).
This one shows the five lanes empty. :tup:
mswood:
Do you have any witness accounts of Bill & Cathi finishing in 2nd at the detour. Because even using lanes to mark the presence of racers that doesn't take into account any teams that didn't choose that detour option, nor does it account for which teams might have been U-Turned and then have to go perform the other side of the Detour.
