The entire promo at end of Survivor tonight was to plug the change in day and time. Starting next week TAR will be on WEDNESDAY at 8:00PM. Softer competition at the new hour, and may pull in people (very young and very old) who find the 10:00PM hour too late to watch.
We have the hotel down to a gnat's wisker. Bingo Boingo!! But this is location of the rest period (eat and sleep and hot showers!) Actual pit stop may be on the mat in front of the Castello Maniace at the end of Isola di Ortigia or even the Duomo, but I think that the castle is more isolated and a place at which it would be easier to control crowds.
The question remains: how do the teams travel from Segesta to Catania? Do they go direct or through somewhere else such as Agrigento?
Driving it would take about 3 and a half hours to cover the approximate 200 miles via A29 to Palermo and A19 across the island to Catania. And if the last team arrived (Raylanda) at about 7:00PM, they would have a hard time getting to the fish market in Catania while it was still open (5AM to 11AM).
A bus wouldn't be much faster since they would have to drive to the bus station in Palermo first. Does anyone know the SIAS bus schedulre?
Another possibility (and TPTB have often done this) is to have one or two or three CHARTER flights from the airport in Palermo or in Trapani leaving at 7, 7:30 and 8; this would be a nice time to bunch up the teams again since the leaders are getting further and further ahead something TPTB do not condone!!!
