--- Quote ---I estimate that Ron and Amber finish first in mid-afternoon before the sun sets at 3:51. Both Ron and Kelly and Uchenna and Joyce arrive after it is completely pitch black and Tower Bridge is brightly lit, so they probably arrive somewhere around 5:00PM or later.

GMan, you're so lucky. I have not seen these new promos.
My guesses for checkin times are: R&A at 2:38 pm U&J at 4:58 pm
No solar analysis this time. I just used the clock on the building across the street from where taxi drops them. 8-)'

Gee, I missed the clock and came up with almost the same times just by guessing how big a lead R/A had. But no matter, it just means that everyone ends up bunched at the airport either the next morning or that afternoon, if they have to do some task in London first which CBs has carefully not shown any promos of.
With the time running out on the racers before their appearance in San Juan Puerto Rico, I am leaning toward guessing that they take the 9:45AM flight to Kingston va Miami arriving in Kindston at 5:05PM. The airport is on the way from downtown Kingston to Port Royal the location of one of Kingston's best know landmarks: FORT CHARLES which I'm sure would be floodlit at night. And this is wild guess that the clue tells them to proceed to the fort for their next task. This could be the limbo which we see being done at night. Ron is running toward the castle late arriving after Rob and Amber. Uchenna and Joyce are not seen because they stopped in a bookstore at the airport to buy a guide to Jamaica and that is where they lost the clue and perhaps had to go back and try to find it so they are running very late to the Fort.
But again, it doesn't matter as all three teams arrive at the Bridge and have to wait until daybreak (5:34AM) to run in and find the clue box.
The first task is the ROADBLOCK to dive off the bridge. Ron, Amber and Uchenna do this task.
Completing the task leads them to the DETOUR: Steer a bamboo craft down a rapidly moving river, or Build a structure from Bamboo. Uchenna and Joyce start out to do Steer, but change their minds and climb back up the cliff passing Rob and Amber coming down who do the task. Ron and Kelly just do the Build task.
Two unaccounted tasks: sorting some kind of rocks or buxite ore samples; and hitting golf balls somewhere.
And the mystery of all mysteries why in the world are they going to Puerto Rico from Jamaica when most flights have to backtrack first through Florida (Miami or Fort Lauderdale)
Could it be that from Jamaica they go first to another Caribbean Island and then to Puerto Rico? We still have some unaccounted for pix in the flash intro sequences.
Open to ideas (except for who wins and loses - that's another thread)

Maybe we get to see the Bell ringer ? We did see the whirling Dervishes as the last place to get the clue in Turkey to head to london ?
