EP5:' We're Getting out of the Country Girls '
Chateau d If:
Here is a route that teams could take in the boats from the Gamboa docks to Barro Colorado.
It's 10.3 miles long.

Here the teams face a DETOUR (1)they must take boat across the river/canal to the Isle Barro Colorado and do somekind of bird watch - find a certain number of birds (fake) mark them on their chart and when finished get the directions to the pits stop - perhaps back on the mainland at the Gamboa Resort Hotel. or (2) they must go into town and find a local dance hall and find a praticular dancer doing the hootchy cootchy. And then to the pit stop.

Well you asked for input. Everything looks good. I do think perhaps that the dance hall might be just a place to pick up the clue to go to the Smithsonian's dock near Gamboa and that everyone gets on a boat to head to Barro Colorado. Maybe they are just showing us one of the detours and the other one is also on the island? Birdwatching or ?? Then the pitstop would be there.

First things first:
Absolutely no mention of any castoff family on tomorrows show on today's TES. In fact, during the entire two-hours telecast not one single mention or promo for tonight's episode. Strange.
Can we determine on which side of the railroad tracks the Linz and Godlewski families are walking? If the road they are on is between the railroad and the canal then they are walking east toward an early morning sun; if they the railroad track is between them and the canal then they would be walking more or less west into the late afternoon sun. From what I can figure out the railroad runs from Panama City to Balboa on the southern side of the canal. And could this be the "gravel road" which leads from where the van left them on the main road and they are walking to the boat dock?
The local dance palace could very well be a route marker clue. Perhaps after the baseball ROADBLOCK they head to the dance hall ( a la the Tango Palace in Argentina) to get the clue which will take them to the boat dock for STRI in Gamboa.
The Paolos could have received a similar clue after the FF and therefore are also on a boat to STRI but to the pitstop instead of the DETOUR.

Exactly what I was thinking. If there is indeed a boat to the right of the Paolos it could be a) production team or b) the Bransens. The Bransens would have been doing their roadblock at the same time the Paolos were doing the FF.
Now I'm thinking the Weavers are jumping for joy because they thought they were in last place and found out otherwise. They traveled over with the Linzs and Godlewskis by boat and maybe saw them complete the detour or they took too long.

Either they finished last and were told it was an NEL or they finished second which would be good for them , I don't know that they would be cheering like that if they were going to get mugged or a time penalty of some sort , or could it be that Phil told them no mugging ,I can't figure the Weavers out *(^
