The second flight landed 1 hour and 20 minutes after the first teams. But Margie & Luke still manages to reach the top of the tower before the cowboys have left. I would guess that at this time they are about 30-40 minutes behind. So they managed to gain about 40-50 minutes on the first team, which wasn't shown doing any mistakes.
Or can this be explained by just faster immigration and better luck with metros?

It most likely had to do with metros and the dress shops. The Canton Tower task was also pretty long, I've been there, and it takes about 20 minutes to go around ONCE.

My guess is the dress shops. Was it Neobie who said this was diabolical because the streets were not on maps, and VERY difficult to find??
That combined with some Ferns giving out deliberate misinformation would explain a lot. (Which makes me SICK. If you can't help, at least don't hinder!!)

They were only an hour ahead, and considering all the teams from the second flight took METRO (the faster option), whereas only Jet and Cord took the metro from the first flight, that has got to be the first step to downfall for the twins.
Followed by the bridal shops which were NOT listed on the maps (some of them, till today) -> especially those hidden in the back alley (the one which Twinnies and Leo and Jamal missed!)
Considering Jet and Cord went into ONE wrong cubicle (20 mins) before getting into the right one and were nearly done (maybe 15 mins) before many of the other teams arrived and started on the task... the Cowboys should be about 35 - 45 mins before the other teams? Don't forget that the other teams were probably faster (shedding about 15 mins) because those ferns who helped the cowboys already knows where the shops are and bring the teams directly there.
So yea.. I guess the main reasons why the teams from the second flight could catch up and complete the bridal shop task so quickly was because of so many factors listed above. Plus those annoying fans who misled the twinnies and leo and jamal (?) to different wrong locations.

Which is a shame, really. It was really a "fans help the teams" task, which isn't fair, because it was the teams themselves who are brought back, not the fans. (ex: wanting Joey and Meghan back, but not their fans). I'm not sure if the producers foresaw this or not, but it was the destruction of the Twinnies.

A not-so-depressing point I wanna mention, is that this episode's title should be "Super Amazing Race Starstruck" by Rachel. Ten thousand times better than the cowboys quote. :res: :funny:
