--- Quote from: Chateau d If on October 16, 2005, 07:18:55 PM ---The weather underground site says there is clouds and rain again (in Anniston) at 8:53 pm (sun set at about 8:00 pm). So the storm when Paolos are there should be this later one.
Another possible sorting mechanism could be the teams performance times on the lap of the race track. Fastest time gets the earliest departure from the trailers.

I'm not so sure the evening "light rain" (weather underground) is what we see in the Paolo's pics. That would be a strong Thunderstorm )<.
I see it as this order based on weather conditions:
Pre storm based on overcast/cloudy skies ( 8:18am - 12:04pm)
Gaghan/Weaver
Either pre-storm (12:35pm - 12:53pm)/post-storm (2:19pm - 2:53pm) time frame
Paolo
Or if we know the direction we are looking based on the "last" shot of the Paolo's with the flag. It appears the sun may be shining on the flag, unless it is a light. The wind speed on that huge Garrison flag would need to be nearing the 10 mph range to get the flag to move. If the Paolo's are North of cameraman, then I would venture to say the Paolo's are doing their task in the 2:19 - 2:53 time frame.
Clear Skies with water on the track (3:53pm - 8:15pm)
Bransen
Linz
Godlewski
Chateau can you confirm or destroy this theory with your shadow analysis on the Bransen/Linz/Godlewski shots ??? =]/
Keep in mind the weather conditions are for Anniston - not Talladega, so adjustments would need to be made for the difference of the two.

Theory , The Aiellos claimed they ziplined whilie in sequesterville in their TV Guide interview , the first place to come to my mind is Belize
I remember reading something that pmspml5 posted at RealityTVWorld
TVGuide.com: Where'd you go after you were eliminated?Kevin: I can't tell you where, but we went away for a few weeks. CBS took good care of us. We did some hiking, some shopping and we spent a lot of time at the pool. And we did some ziplining. Fun stuff.
just thought it was interesting ..

"Belize Leg"
I just got back from a cruise and one of the ports of call was Belize City.
We went on a "zipline" adventure out in the rain forest which would have been a perfect Detour. There was not a lot of other things in that area to do and finding this place w/o the help of a local would have been very difficult. Some of the guides on this "Lost Canopy Tour" had been teasing one of the guys about being "famous" for being filmed for a TV show. I have no proof that it was TAR could have been anything - but it does fit.
Also, most locals speak Creole and unless they attend high-school past the age of 16 - never learn what we would consider english. So even though it is an english speaking nation - there could be some language barriors.

Sorry, Krazy, but I think your times just won't match with what we know for July 12:
Teams leave Huntsville between 2:30PM and 4:00PM, and must drive approximately 2 or 2.5 hours to Anniston and Talledega. So your times for Gaghan and Weaver (8:18AM to 12:04PM) can't be since at that hour they are still sleeping at the Marriott. Same goes for Paolos who won't leave Huntsville until 4:00PM. The clear skies for the Bransens, Linz and Godlewskies does work (3:53 to 8:15PM) Was there a storm late in the day around sunset time? This would be the time that the Weavers, Gaghans and Paolos arrive at Talledega.

Puddin: I'm guessing that TPTB would not have a sequesterville outside of the US; why bother with all that travel problems. Most likely at a nice resort in Arizona or perpaps up north in Montana. Just wild guessing.
Were you able to capture any of the TAR promos from the football yesterday? Seemed to have two good ones.
I'm guessing that the overnight trailer/RV park may be just over the line in Meridian, Mississippi - that is where interstate routes 20 and 59 split and would be a good place for a trailer park to be located.
Looking again at the video promos, it seems that our teams are sticking to the same order that the arrived at the pit stop. And therefore leave in the same order. The only thing that would hinder or change the order is if one team really screwed up and went the wrong way on Interstate 20. They are told to find a chair in Anniston (mama Paolo seems to have trouble even finding it on her map!)
At Talledega Speedway we have the Bransens, Linz, and Godlewskis doing the biking race in sunlight with long shadows. These teams left in 1, 2, and 4 order. The Schroeders left as no. 3 but we do not see them at Talledega (but they must have been through there as we see Dad Schroeder at the trailer park at night.)
The Weavers seem to arrive before the storm, but the skies are very cloudy (storm brewing); The Paolos are caught up in the storm; the Gaghans seem to be there just before or just after the storm (hard to tell and I can't remember whether the track is wet or dry) This follows the scheme since the Weavers left No. 5; the Paolos as No. 6 with the Gaghans bringing up the rear at No. 7.
We have shots of the Linz catching and passing the Bransens on an Interstate while the sun is still shining (pre-rain storm?) The Bransen girl with the green tank top moons the boys! (Sis Linz gets a real laugh out of it). So we can assume perhaps that the Linz arrive first at the overnight with the Bransens coming in second. Hopefully the find the trailer with the earliest departure times. In any case both teams are having a generally great time laughing about the mooning! (And one of the Bransen girls seems to be holding some kind of paper - perhaps a paper with their departure time.
