Do you guys remember when we were confused at first which metro station they were going to go? I think I remember reading a Chinese fan accidentally bringing them from the correct station two stops down to a completely different stretch of the same road...

The teams weren't prohibited from getting help, and we don't know when they had the information (i.e., the names or the street addresses of the wedding dress shops that they had to find.
That doesn't distract from the fact that the Cowboys has learned that they should take the metro and not take taxis, and that they also had directions to the location of the Canton Tower when they left the airport. That sounds more like they may have gotten their information on the flight from LAX and the other teams on that first flight were told, or decided, to use taxis because they feared getting lost on the way. It also seemed to me that the Cowboys also got accurate directions to the shops unlike other teams. They had a reputation of not always doing well with directions, or getting them in their past appearances, so this may indicate that they're working on that this time around.

DrRox:
The Cowboys just had a better fern than anyone else?

On the contrary we do know. We have a photo of the additional info sheet they got at the starting line and it had the names and addresses of the shops.

But they did not know about the Canton tower beforehand. But any local seemed to know so that part was easy.

I would say that the cowboys did a smart choice it taking the Metro and then had better luck with their Fern.

maf:
I wonder how the teams from the second flight caught up so soon?

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?
