If you look on Page 6, a couple posts past the vid cap, you see R/D in the upper left with D taking off gloves, R/B in the upper right, heading towards a clue box, A/J lower left on a dock and R/V lower right with a blacked out background. Using Googlemaps, I am about 99% sure I found the location where the cluebox B/R are running towards was, which is on the east side of the park that you later see them walking through and arguing in the vid. My $.02, they take a taxi/drive to the cluebox location, get out and run to it, run back and get their backpacks, head through park and argue. They are over 1/2 a mile from the cluebox where Rachel throws her bag at Brendon.

First: ¡Ahhh, you mean that pic! I thought you were talking about a new one. My apologies.
Second: We agree about the taxi ride. :yess:. (no chopper no jetski)
Third: According to your spec, clue must especify that they must walk to the next task o route marker/info because it should be close to that place. If they found the clue box you skillfully located without problem - and I mean not wasting too much time - , and they are doing what the clue demands, the question is "what are they arguing about?" (or maybe is just another of Rachel's "drama queen moments"). )-**

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with the drama queen. Considering what we know of the timeline, R/B finished the towers 2nd and it seems likely they saw the 1st place team leave, so they KNOW they are not in 1st. I don't know about the 1st place team, but it is known that B/R were on top of the towers for close to an hour before descending. If anything held them up, I can see her falling apart, since 1) they have no idea how many tasks there will be(ie: time to possibly catch up), 2) they know they are not in 1st and possibly 3) the helo ride is from the park AND at scheduled intervals, which puts them that much farther behind. This close to the end, she is going to be over the top, just like during BB last year. Edit: Maybe they even ran out of money and had to walk.

There's a possible number 4 option: they got the clue at 1097 Sand Island Parkway clue box, and the clue could say something like "look for the jetskis (or the next task) on some especific location of Sand Island Park's beach" and maybe Brendon believed that it was close to the clue box's place, and that's why they released the taxi. According to your map, it's a straight direction walk to the portion of beach in front of the clue box location. When they found nothing there, maybe they asked somebody for help, they were told that is near the blue square point, what makes Rachel give us another of her drama queen moments because of the long walk, blaming Brendon for the mistake and - as you stated - the loss of time.
(Just another theory :duno:<)

About the time question, in the TAR20 transport thread (reply number 189), Peach showed a schedule of the flights departing Osaka to Honolulu, where we can see that the arrivals were on a time window between 8.31 to 9.32am. We don't know if teams did purchased those flights - even they looked as the most probable choice -; but if this is right, it's a 15-20 minutes travel by taxi to One Waterfront Towers from the airport (I found in Google maps 3 differents routes to reach O.T.W. from there). So, if teams flyed to Honolulu in the first flight (spec, and the rest from now on too), add the proper time of Migrations procedures and catch a cab outside the terminal, traffic, make the way up and descent, go to the park in a taxi, etc., and we can have the times Chateau was talking about.
Prophet:
So here is what we KNOW about the Hawaii leg.
1. Teams arrive on the same flight
2. They proceed directly to One Waterfront Towers and perform the task (At this point Brenchel is about 15 minutes behind Davechel)
3. Teams then go to Sand Island and receive a clue that instructs them to do.... :duno:
4. Rachel gets mad and they start walking quite a ways up the beach while arguing
5. There is a task (probably a RB) involving papa holua
6. There is a task involving rescuing a surfer with a jetski
7. There is a task or transport involving paddleboards
8. There is a task or transport involving helicopters
What we DON'T KNOW:
1. Whether or not there is a second roadblock and whether or not that task is one of the tasks we know about or an unknown task
2. What the task is that Phil tells a team they haven't done
3. The full story of points 3-8 above
Declive:
2. What the task is that Phil tells a team they haven't done
Uuuh , roadblock?
