Some incidental information which may help to explain the course of action in ep. 9:
In Lucknow on December 6/7 the sun rises at 6:11AM and sets at 4:43PM. So far this works since the the planes arrived from Bombay around 9:30AM. Doing the Roadblock and Detour would take them to early afternoon. We see the first two teams, Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly arriving on the rooftop while the sun is still fairly high up. And I imagine that all five teams will make it to the roof before the sun sets at 4:43. And then it looks like there will not be enough light to do another task except get to the train station and book a sleeping car for the long, 21-hour ride to Jodhpur. In Jodhpur on December 6/7 the sun rises at 6:42AM and sets at 5:16PM so it will be dark when the teams arrive at 9:00PM. I think they go on to the festival celebration from the train station and this will take care of the night for them (perhaps they get a clue for the next clue which would be either the Roadblock (camel race) or Detour (the LEAD or PUSH an elephant!) It looks from the amount of sunlight and the fact that Rob had his long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves down and his full trousers on that this is the early morning task when the average temperature in Jodhpur is 44 degrees. Later in the day the ROADBLOCK may take place since it looks hotter now with Rob with his sleeves pushed up and his pants now reduced to shorts when the afternoon average high temperature is 80 degrees (in the shade mind you).
Just wild guesses but starting to make more sense.

Wow GMan , nice detective work . If the Detour comes first then the Roadblock is a good sign for M&G because we see all teams there at the same time except of course U&J because the evidence shows that they do the FF and most likely succeed ! Who will be last to arrive at the pitstop and be mugged by Phil is anyones guess ..I can hardly wait to see the TV promos for more evidence !

Episode Description - We Have a Bad Elephant
(from CBS Media)
On the second part of the extended leg of the race, the Racers have a hard time maneuvering fickle camels as the animals pull teams into trees, walk backward and even lie down in the middle of the course. One team tries for the last Fast Forward of the race, which challenges them to partake in a shocking and emotional traditional Indian ritual. Also, the pressures of the Race take their toll on one team whose solid relationship has a momentary meltdown.

Just another bit of information that may or may not mean anything.
Amber and Rob had two little interview snippets interspersed within the TBC episode. They were wearing the same clothes as they are shown wearing in the Jodhpur vid caps.

Sounds like the ROADBLOCK is going to be a real leveler as the four teams all are having troubles with the nasty beasts of burden. So only one team goes for the FAST FORWARD which means it looks like a slam dunk for U/J!! Only three teams have a solid relationship. We can forget U/J and Ron/Kelly so which team has the melt down: Romber? The Boyfriends? or the Grandparents?
