Maybe Fran adn Barry are in LAST PLACE, why? The past three previews the last place teams to the detour were not show doing the task. [Lisa and Joni[Brazil], DD [all three previews], WD [Russia/Germany] MOJO[Russia], DL[Russia]

Now Fran and Barry would suck at the bell [puts them in last]

and FB were not seen at the clothes with any other teams.  Lake and Michelle arrive to this task first being no one is shown doing it when they arrive [so they would likly finish this behind BJT, DD, LM, and DL]

no idea what I'm looking for but roaming Sicily is fun

There are five such stores listed in Palermo...

Maporama, Multimap, and Via Michelin all do a decent job with European street mapping. There's a couple of Bata stores within spitting distance of the Massimo, but without pictures it's just guesswork.
I wonder if anyone will follow in the tire tracks of Ma Weaver this episode. There's a road from Palermo to the Segesta area that looks more direct, but it's a winding road over the mountains; the highway along the shoreline would be a better bet.

Church?? Which cap are you trying to match? Do you mean the one in "church bells"?

Maybe the bell task and laundry task are not in Palermo but in a town nearby. Palermo is the largest city in Sicily and those caps don't look like they belong in Palermo.

[banzai]

lol, I found the Palermo donkey.

This photo shows a typical site in Palermo - the common donkey carriages on the streets that gives tourist a ride through parts of the city for an open air tour.

Specifically which vidcap? This one? This is only a silhouette.



I don't see any cap in this thread with a church (one with a frontal view). Let me know and I will try to look.

The donkey can ride Mafias way back in the 20th century.

Just caught something in the CBS TGAR9 promo last night.  There is a shot of David walking on the street in a tight closeup (he has his red shirt on, and his face is dark with a heavy five o'clock shadow! (doesn't mean much these days since most honcho men have glorious five o'clock shadows - sell your Gillette stock.) But the interesting thing is that in the background you can see that in front of many of the buildings the decorative lights are now on.  If they are on timers it means that it is just about sunset, which means it is around 4:45PM.  AND, if David is still in Palermo, he has a 100 mile drive on motorway A29 which would take him at least two hours to find the Segesta Greek Theater.  And if they look at the map and see that by taking routes S186 amd S113 the distance is only about 60 miles as the crow flies, and if they take this route they will very soon learn that these side roads climb and wind around the mountains and probably take a good deal more time to drive.

So if the Nerds are still in Palermo at sunset and haven't even gone to pick up their car yet, let alone drive to Segesta, they must be hours away from completing the ROADBLOCK which certainly accounts for why Lori is there by herself in the pitch black night trying to complete the task.

Are we running into the situation we had in Norway and in Egypt where Phil had to come out and tell the teams who were stuck in the Roadblock, that the gig is up and the game is over for them???

[puddin]

I've been trying to find those buildings with the lights Gman , no luck yet ..they could be near the harbor ? I dunno but those lights sure are on which is not a good sign for L&D , it also maybe they switched tasks from Wring to Ring at some point ? Whatever I think they are doomed ... , they had that bad Karma with Mo-Jo by not sharing the route info .
Like you I'm starting to think this maybe a ELIM with no FF with all that coming in the next episode , leg 2 of Sicily .
Also as someone pointed out the Bells are the sure thing task , but it looks like E&J have a pretty good lead again and lucked out at Wring , thanks to Chateau and a hinky they most likely finish first along with the Ringers , Mo-Jo , Rayolanda . I also think FranknBarry get lucky with the Wring as we see them running past David & Lori in the opposite direction , call it another hinky .

[Slowhatch]

I've been trying to find those buildings with the lights

TuttoCitta has some virtual Palermo tours, but I didn't see anything useful.
Checking the arrivals at Palermo it seems the racers won't have any problems catching a flight through either Alitalia or Air One (a Lufthansa partner).

[puddin]

Slowhatch I'm airline stupid , do you think they will bunch up or will some teams get a earlier flight than the others ? 

[Slowhatch]

If I'm reading the sites correctly, there's a bunch of flights out of Munich (connecting through Rome) in the 8-10 a.m. time frame (I'm assuming a morning departure). Then there's a gap with some more flights starting at around 12:30-2. I don't have the mat times but just judging by the daylight there's a couple hours gap between first and last place, so the boys and L/M might get a jump on the rest.

[Chateau d If]

When Eric & Jeremy were putting on Lederhosen one of their wristwatches said 2:17.


Slowhatch, that arrival board for Palermo is the coolest I've ever seen.  Thanks!

[gingerman28]

On November 14 the following morning flights left Munich (MUC) for Palermo (PMO):

LH 3896 Depart 7:05AM  AR PMO via MXP at 11:20AM

LH 3856 Depart 9:25AM AR PMO via FCO at 1:25PM

LH 3856 Depart 9:25PM  AR PMO via FCO at 2:00PM

LH 2830 Depart 9:25PM  AR PMO via FCO at 2:00PM

AZ 437 depart 11:15AM AR PMO via FCO at 3:40PM

Since the teams all seemed to be bunched up doing the wring bit (The Double Dees who left last are together with LakeMichelle who left third) I would surmise that all eight teams were able to catch the 7:05AM Lufthansa flight.  I estimate that the Beach Boys finished about 3:30PM and the Double Dees after sunset when it was dark at say 5:30PM or 6:00PM which would mean they could leave by 6:00AM and hopefully catch the same flight as the others. I seriously doubt that TPTBV would want the Beach Boys to race out ahead by two or three hours once again.

Keeping in mind that sunset is arround 4:45PM if teams did not arrive until 1:30PM or 2:00PM would they have enough time to travel to Teatro Massimo, complete the Detour by either ringing or wringing, get their car, drive the 100 miles or so down motor way A29, park walk up hill to the Segesta Theatre, assemble the statue, walk the 1.2 miles to the Doric Temple and complete all these tasks while it was still light (MO/JO and the Beach Boys)? 

The church we have been searching for may be Santa Maria della Catena which is located in the Cala quarter overlooking the ancient harbor.  At one time the chains which used to close off the area were stored in the church.  And we seem to have some pix of people near the harbor. Ray looks to be loading/unloading the bell with the harbor in the back ground.

I asked about this earlier....can anyone read the time on BJ's watch?

[Chateau d If]

I found Hippie shadow!
