TAR 20 EP 8 "Let Them Drink Their Haterade" (Lake Manyara, Tanzania)
Prophet:
I don't think that Ralph and Vanessa and Brenchel will both be Uturned either because we know that they both survive this leg. It would be odd for neither Uturn team to be eliminated.
Alenaveda:
Come on, let's be honest: if R/V U-T Brenchel, there would be a lot of drama. And Rachel IS the drama queen :gaah:.

Well, Brook and Claire in TAR 17 and the Globetrotters in TAR 18 were U-T and both of them reach the F3 in each season. :)

But they both had another team that was Uturned in that same episode and that team was eliminated.
apskip:
I have a hypothesis about extended pit stops. I don't think there have been any in AR20 through episode 7 because from what we know about dates of filming the actual episodes there was no room for a 36 hour or more pit stop. However, I believe that will change big time. What more perfect a place for teams to enjoy some time off than the Ngorongoro Crater? I can think of few on the globe and the others would not be so secure from prying eyes. Teams could be sent on a wildlife expedition without fear of being spotted by many other non-local people. I have tracked the dates for flight information and I think the teams arrived in Arusha late morning on Dec. 9. Running the 7th leg and taking a 36 hour or slightly longer pit stop would mean starting the 2nd Tanzania leg on Dec. 11 and starting leg 9 to India on Dec. 12.
It's going to take a full day to reach India so that leg will finish up sometime on Dec. 14. The second India leg will be Dec. 15. Flying to Osaka will take an entire day so that leg will finish on Dec. 17. I expect to see the remaining one NEL in between the final 2 legs (although it doesn't matter where it falls as legs 9 to 11 will have a NEL in there somewhere). That has teams crossing the International Date Line eastbound on Dec. 19 and arriving for the finale on Dec. 19.
Turning from a narrative into a table, it means these are likely the December 2011 dates:
Leg Start Ep. Start Pit Stop
7 Tanzania 8 9 (include extended pit stop)
8 Tanzania 11 11
9 India 12 14
10 India 15 15
11 Osaka 16 17 (include extended pit stop)
12 Honolulu 19 19
