--- Quote ---Take a number and choose two members of your team to ride in the helicopter.
Up to two teams may ride on the helicopter at the same time.
There will be a short safety briefing before the helicopter takes off.
Any team member riding in the helicopter must empty their pockets and leave their belongings witht he two team members not going up in the helicopter.
The first departure of the helicopter will be 20 minutes from the arrival of the first team

Just one chopper but it can take four racers.

Thanks, for some reason I didn't get it. Now I do! 8-)'
Leaving the pitstop, how far behind are the Weavers from the Godlewski's and Linz's? We see how fast a lead can change with the directionally challenged. |(

Do we know which detour choice the Linz team makes?
From the notes I would take the bikes due to the longer safety lecture for the rappel. Six miles, largely downhill, should only take 24 min. While the rappel is first part: 5+5+5+5 then 2nd part 4+4+4+4. So that's 51 min for rappel and 29 min for bikes.

Two people might be able to repel at a time becuase you can see only Trisha and Sharon when Christine is going witch makes me think Michelle is already down (or on her way). So if its two at a time per team its 10 + 8 thats 18 minutes (if they got 5 minutes and then 4 minutes)
But who knows

--- Quote ---Once you have chosen a Rigger they will give you a safety and technical briefing that will last approximately 15 minutes.
Your rigger will then lead you to the first available line.
Your rigger has the final word on any technical or safety issues that may arise.
One team per line. Only one team member will be allowed on a line at a time.
The 2-Minute rule applies to this event (ETA: I have no idea what this means!!!)
Once you reach the base of the rappel follow the marked path to your next clue.

Only one at a time. I guess racers may be able to advance to the 2nd line without having to wait for the whole team to complete the 1st line. If that's the case then my estimate for the Rappel is 15+ 5+5+5+5+4 = 39. Stiill not the best way.
Slowhatch:
Still more cameramen (that we know of): in addition to the guy in the helo taking head shots and the helo circling overhead shooting panoramas (the second team helo? or just a helo with a robot camera?), there were people waiting on the butte when the teams arrived. Compare the point-of-view shot with the two blobs on the right edge of the butte.

Another dab of info to give.
Apparently when the Linz's passed the Weaver's while in the hummer (the Weaver's were riding the bikes in the Gemini Bridges task) they were totally dropping the f-bomb on all of them.
So, there's obviously no lost love there between these two teams!!! HEHEHEHE

So, Hysteria, thanks for such a boon of info.
Can you spell out this last bit? Who f-bombed who (I think the Linzes did it but it would be so perfect the other way). Were the Linzes going to or from the Gemini detour site. Were the Weavers on bikes when the Hummer passed?

All I know is that the Linzs' were F-Bombing the Weavers. And, I don't know who was ahead at the time. Maybe we can speculate that the Weaver's do something to REALLY upset the Linzs'.
Needless to say, I'm not getting too much info from my father-in-law...he doesn't want to get in trouble. Maybe he'll tell me all about it after the episode airs.
He also mentioned that when the Linzs' opened the next clue they asked him where Green River was but he wasn't allowed to tell them where it was. This just more and more confirmed to me that this itinerary is legit.
I should also mention that he never specifically stated that he was with the Linzs', he just said that there were 3 boys and 1 girl on the team which led to my deduction. And, by the previews the only team to ride bikes are the Weavers.
