Chateau d If:
Here is the spoiler that brought us to Panama.  And gave us the dates of July 16th or 17th for activities there.  The evening arrival times of the flights permits that teams may have arrived on either the 15th, the 16th, or even the 17th since the report is just for their searching for the Gamboa Docks.  I included the 15th because  maybe the friend considered Friday night as the weekend.

I am still trying to get this right...

Chateau: I think you made a small mistake in your time line If teams leave noonish and early afternoon on July 15 for Panama City they will arrive in the evening of the same day, July 15, not the next afternoon.

My guess on time line:

July 15 - Flights leaving 12:30 and 1:45 arrive in Panama City at 6:40PM and 9:10PM Take taxi to STRI boat dock and must wait until morning to get boats.

July 16 - 7:00AM boats to STRI; FF; Detour; Roadblock; arrive at Pit Stop Miraflores Locks between 9AM and Noon.

Extended 36 hour pit stop (everyone was exhausted once again)

July 17 - Between 9PM and Midnight leave for Panama City airport. Wait overnight until first flight out the next day.

July 18 - 6:00AM first flight out to Costa Rica; Roadblock; Yield; Detour; pit stop between 2PM and 9PM

Extended pit stop 36 hours

July 20 - Teams leave pitstop for Cosa Rica airport between 2AM and 9AM

July 20 - First flight to Phoenix on Continental at 6:45AM but better direct flight out on Air West at 7:15AM arriving in Phoenix at 11:56AM

This conforms with sighting of Phil at San Jose airport on July 20

Rob:
Ok, not to get too much off topic here, but this is the best thing on the internet right now, this topic, that is! Great job you guys! Every TAR fan has to see this!

 *8/ You're messin' with me. 

But thanks.

GMan,  you are so right I'm trying to get it fixed now.

I can't decide where to put the uncertainty in dates.  I am thinking we can dispose of the Belize leg idea because When the last leg started we see teams read, lips in sync with the words, that they are going to Panama.  And they have the same clothes on at the departure mat as when they are at the New Orleans airport.  So, nothing tricky is going on.

gingerman28:
There were strong reports of things going on in Belize and teams being held there. Now I think that the report concerned the four teams that were being sequestered there and after two weeks the youngin's were getting ancy. But it might have been the idea of the producers to sequester the teams here to give them a feel of some kind of "foreign travel" during the 25 days production was going on.  And not a bad place to be sequestered: lots of surf and fun activites, jungle zip lines, soveigner shopping etc. etec.

Also you are right on the lip syncing and the fact that every team had the same clothes on when they departed NO and arrived in Panama.

The numbers on the backpacks surely looked like only 10 teams - it would be just too much to expect the missing team to be NO. 11.

And I guess in most cases the producers always add one more of everything.  I noticed this week that in each location there were 7 not 6 instruments. Possibly done so teams will not know for sure how many teams are ahead of them.
