puddin:
could we find out waht time there were heavy downpours around the canal?
I was asssuming the Detour came before the Roadblock ?
Also if the teams are driving all over the place why are they lugging their gear around , why not leave it in the car ? thats why i think they take some other transportation ? bus/train whatever .

FWIW, I see (on the video) what appears to be Greek writing on the wall. A-T-T-A-(gamma)-O-P..... which is pronounced "ATTAGOR..."
Heck if I know :dunno:

Just another aerial view of three bridges crossing the Corinth Canal (2 steel, 1 concrete).

I'm with you puddin. They take the train & Nafplio is the pitstop.

anyway lets look at the clues again
Were almost sure of a few things ,
Rome ( DaVinci Code task by all teams , I assume so)
Teams go to Athens ( detour in Athens ? not sure of the other option )
Fran is ascared at the Roadblock ( Corinth Canal Bungee )
TPTB are hiding Eric & Jeremy from the Detour & Roadblock ( it just maybe they are light years ahead of the other teams , we know that in at least one preview a week they hide at least on team for whatever reason ?)
the clues sure sound like they are in order
I know last leg we had " One Duo gets lost on the way to the Roadblock and ends up at the Pitstop instead, will this mistake jeopardize their position in the race?" and they did , what the show didn't show us was that MoJo came to the pitstop before the Roadblock as well as L&M but much later ,which made the clues in order .
TEAMS PARTICIPATE IN A SPECIAL "DA VINCI CODE" -- THEMED CHALLENGE WHICH STARTS IN ITALY AND SENDS THE TEAMS RACING TO ATHENS, GREECE
"Herculean Effort For Some Herculean Dudes" --
1)Teams participate in a special "Da Vinci Code"-themed challenge in which teams are given a portion of Da Vinci's famed "Vitruvian Man" and must find the other half in order to solve the clue
2)While Racing through Greece, teams return to ancient times and compete in Olympic games that include a grueling bout in the mud with a Greek wrestler.
3)During a roadblock, teams face a 240-foot bungee jump off the Corinth Canal bridge and one racer becomes paralyzed with fear.
4)Several teams make a crucial mistake when they fail to follow the clue's directions correctly.
5)Meanwhile, a lack of focus and confusion plagues several teams who get lost while driving, and their frustration fuels an emotional breakdown for one team.

1. CBS announced on CBS Sunday Morning during promo for TES that the next team castoff from TAR would be on the show Thursday (included visual of racers and title card)
2. "teams get lost while driving" sort of indicates that they drive at least somewhere.
3. Think Roadblock comes first at Corinth Canal. Then Detour in Ancient Olympia. Pitstop in either Ancient Olympia or Nafplio
