EP5: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW
gingerman28:
Actually, team, we knew a lot more than we did not know. Two things that stand out which we missed were:
1. The fact that the teams had to drive first from the Teatre Massimo to the sea side town of Castellammare del Golfo which was 42 miles to the west of Palermo. Here is where they had to do the Detour.
2. The fact that the Yield was introduced for the first time and this really affected the finish order. Without the yield either David/Lori or Ray/Yolanda might have been Philiminated. As it was the Double Dees took it on the chin who were are alternte choice to finish last.
If I were Lake and Michelle, I would look out for the Beach Boys. If both teams are in the race when the next Yield comes up, the Beach Boys are going to nail it on the team that caused their heartthrobs to get booted out of the race.
Chateau's estimated times were right on the nose. And it now looks like the Hippies have a solid five hour lead over Ray and Yolanda. BUT there surely will be a bunch point at the beginning of the next leg to even the field out once again.
Puddin had a hard time trying to identify the background when David and Lori were running along the harbor embankment. That threw us all off only because we were no longer in Palermo as we thought!
Ray and Yolanda are now are champion poor map readers!! They drove miles out of the way toward Trapani from Castelammare instead of toward Segesta.
Finally, I wonder what happened to the 7:05AM Lufthansa flight? Guess TPTB couldn't reserve space on it. So the next flight after the 6:35AM flight turned out to be Lufthansa flight 3860 at 9:30AM and right away The Hippies and The Beach Boys had a three-hour lead on the rest of the pack.
Chateau d If:
And they started early enough to drive to Milan to for the flight to Palermo. :snicker:

I know this might sound dumb but both Danille and Dani and Raylonda left before 9:30 i think the girls left at like 7:15 and the 9:30 flight left before they got to the airport, is the Munich airport that far away?
