Some questions: :gman:
1. Why are Fran/B running past the Massimo Theater, isn't it a little late?
2. If there is a FF, where do you think it will be placed? And if Fran/B use the FF, do you think they will come in first?
3. The cap with the word "Art", what does the time tell us about the order of the teams? Who's first?
4. Can we assume Eric/J are in the lead given the time (cap on path)?
5. The cap with David between 5:30 and 5:46 pm - I don't think the time matters, we see the completed statues and there doesn't seem to be any team around. Unless there are unassembled statues to the back of Dave (which is unlikely)?

How sure of the time are we here? If this is the Teatro Massimo, Palermo's famous Opera House (The third largest in the world) then according to my map of Palermo the front with its Corinthian columns faces toward the sea or about Northeast. The sun is behind the building (check the angle of the shadows) and therefore it looks like a late morning sun on November 14. My estimate would be closer to noon or 12:30PM. In this shot Barry and Fran seem to be walking not running; earlier we saw them running past The Nerds (this could be after they get the FF and are in a hurry to get wherever they have to go.
Everyone is now identified doing one of the two Detour tasks EXCEPT Barry and Fran. Wring we have: The Hippies, Double Dees, Lake/Michelle,The Nerds, and the Beach Boys. Ring we have MO/JO and Ray/Yolanda.
There is a shot of Lake in front of a Bata Shoe Store. There are five such stores listed in Palermo located at Via Ruggero Seventh, Via Rome 196, Via Strasburgo, via Maqueda 336 and Via Tsereteu 67A. My map only shows by name Via Roma which is a main street about two blocks from the harbor.
My guess since most of the teams seem to be together at one time or another is that they all made the 7:05AM Lufthansa flight connecting through Rome with Altalia arriving in Palermo at 11:20AM
Cab to find the Teatro Massimo the first task after arriving? Then to the Detour. Get car and drive the A29 Motorway southeast to Segesta. There find the parking lot and walk to the Segesta Theater (NOT TO THE DORIC TEMPLE WHICH IS THE PIT STOP) could be confusing since the roads are closed to auto traffic and you must walk. The temple is on a path down hill about 1.2 miles or a 20 minute walk.
Note that Lake is driving a STICK SHIFT car!!! Good thing the sisters are no longer with us.

This shot was taken between 9:24 and 9:33 am (assumes Nov 14th)
The "Here" in the Google Earth image should say "From Here". What I means is the start of the arrow is where the camera is. I know I need a better system. I just drew the arrow from where I figured the camera was over to the tip of the dome because that was my point of triangulation.

Chateau: I think you have the angle of the sun wrong in your drawing. You have the sun shinning on the Colonnade Facade of the Theater. Our picture of Fran and Barry shows that the front of the theater is in dark shade. So the sun I think is coming from the lower left of your picture, not the lower right. Just my thoughts. Also the Piazza Giuseppe Verdi is to the front of the theater (right) not above it which is probably Via Volturno
The shot of the Palm tree and ocean is just atmospheric and could have been shot anytime
Boingo:
Just wanted to provide a Map of Center of Palermo. Continue on.

I think the next task is near the theater so that's why they ran. They have no backpacks either. Other teams use the taxi.
