TARFansurvivor:
I would have liked to have seen Gorky Park and have had Luzhniki Stadium as a Pitstop. Hope they go there if they go to Moscow again!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it may have been because there was such a large time difference between departure times of the last 3 teams, that it would have been obvious early on in the episode who the first 5 teams would have been and who would have been eliminated.
Usually when they show the last two teams racing to the end, they edit it so it seems that the teams are closer than they actually are for the drama factor.

Yes, indeed. Moscow's official sunrise time for 6/9/12 was 447am and the length of a day was 17 hours 25 minutes (implying night for only 8 hours 35 minutes).

The farmers said they were in no danger anyway, and would just have fun in the final tasks in the leg. So not much suspense there. The editing can try and make it look close but if the teams involved don't look urgent about going out or not then you know it isn't that close.

Found an interesting article where James and Abba explain what the Speed Bump involved and they also mention that they were in Russia for six days before the passport situation was resolved.
