It would be hard to pass on highway 6. Its a two lane road with some passing lanes. It is known in Utah as one of the deadliest highways. Not as bad in summer but just an FYI. They do have to get on I-15 so they could pass there.
I'm also wondering if the Linzs are first. The Paolos had a shot like that on one of the legs they won with their after race interview. Can't they at least get one leg in first place before they win? I feel so bad for them especially when they lost with that slow boat.

Yea, GMan is back!
Thanks for the precap. The 4:00 pm you mention was determined to be for some staffers doing a demo of the rappel. I don't think it applies to any of our racers. And the 12:51 jump time was for when the Bransens are watching their jumper go. I think the Godlewskis are the last to jump based on that shot of Tricia jumping that shows the big shack in the background.
Also, the passing scene could be a cobble of various shots. The Linz passed someone but how do we know who for sure?

'Amazing Race' scrambles across Utah tonight
Tonight's edition of CBS' "The Amazing Race 8" should be of special interest to Utahns - and not just because it's the popular reality TV series' 100th episode.
Almost the entire show was filmed in Utah - the first time in its history that "The Amazing Race" has visited the Beehive State. Contestants dashed from Lake Powell to Salt Lake City, with some scenic detours through Utah's redrock canyons, alpine valleys and northern mountains.
"We're showing off the whole state," host Phil Keoghan told The Salt Lake Tribune in a phone interview from somewhere - he wouldn't say - halfway around the world. "I can't say exactly where the show went. But the whole state is featured prominently, and I think people will be very pleased. It looks beautiful."
On tonight's episode, the teams race their GMC Yukons from Monument Valley through Moab, Green River, Heber City and Park City before finishing in Salt Lake City, according to CBS-TV spokesman Mitch Graham. Contestants and crews spent three days in Utah shooting the episode last summer, Graham said.
Neither Graham nor Keoghan would reveal details about the teams' activities in Utah. But between CBS' Web site and the network's previews of tonight's episode, some clues have emerged.
The previews show a contestant leaping off a ski jump and face-planting into a pool, something that could only happen at the Utah Olympic Park near Park City. And the Web site hints at teams receiving clues from "an 1,100-pound grizzly bear," which suggests a possible rendezvous with Heber City's Doug and Lynne Seus and their trained grizzly, Tank, star of such movies as "Dr. Dolittle 2."
"There will be some prominent landmarks featured," promised the typically secretive Keoghan by cell phone from the set of the show's ninth season, now shooting "somewhere near the Middle East." Keoghan has visited Park City for the Sundance Film Festival and hopes to race a car someday on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
"Utah is truly a spectacular part of the world," said the well-traveled host. "I've always enjoyed going there."
"The Amazing Race" is the fourth unscripted TV show to visit Utah in recent months. NBC's "Three Wishes" was shot in Cedar City, ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" was filmed in Bountiful and the syndicated program "Elimidate" was shot in Salt Lake City.
Utah tourism officials are thrilled about tonight's episode, which they view as free, prime-time publicity for the state's natural beauty.
"We know the reach of ["The Amazing Race"] is extensive," said Leigh von der Esch, managing director of the state's Office of Tourism. "To have a show showcasing our locales is terrific."

Great Puddin!
Let's get a date on that interview and remember it for TAR9's timeline.
Here are my time blocks for tonight's show:
They are in Utah time. The Arizona time for the start would say one hour earlier.
