Holy crap Banzai!  You put me out of business!   :'(

But now I can do my taxes!

BTW, run that thing at a spot where you can check it out for real.  Envious here!

Something must be wrong here.  Ray and Yolanda were the last to leave the pit stop in Segesta at 6:34AM and faced about a 3 and a half hour drive to Catania and hunt for the Roman Ruins which would put them there about 10:00AM; they had to find the fish seller on Via Alessi, then carry the two swordfish one-third mile to the Fish Market on Via Girabaldi.  Then back up Via Etnea to the Roman Ruins to pick up their car.  Then find their way out Catania and drive 40 miles to Siracusa.  Find the Kayak Polo location, score a goal (and it seems to take Ray awhile to do this) then walk to the Fonte Aretusa and jump on the mat/mpa.  When they do so the fence shadows are now fairly long and have reached South America on the map.  Going back now to the First team (The Beach Boys) who were at the Roman Ruins when they opened at 8:30AM, if they took as much time as R/Y to complete the tasks and get to Siracusa they would be arriving about 10:30AM and when they do the shadow of the fence has not even reached the map/mat.  But if the time for R/Y is correct then the Beach Boys should be on the mat at about 8:00AM before the Roman Ruins even opened in Catania! My gut estimate for R/Y to arrive at the Siracusa pit stop is about 12:30PM at the earliest.

puddin, my gut (beware: often wrong) thinks RayLonda will be last, especially if getting lost is an issue, as it appears to be.   2d choice would be Lake/Michelle, though they seem to be doing better.  Was there a spoiler placing R/Y in Australia, or has that been debunked?

The other thing (and again, I'm counting on CBS, not a good thing) is that ever since the FFs have been reduced to 2 per race, the previews for the episode in which they appear have announced it.  Since we don't have that, and we have an Early Show teaser for an eliminated team, I'm thinking no FF this week.   The format of this race has definitely changed, so delaying the NELs would play into that (it also cuts down on expenses, having fewer teams run the 2d half of the race).

That's my gut...

puddin:
I don't know that the Aussie spoiler form Turt at IMDb is to believed , time will tell but my gut tells me Ray & Yolanda are next to be eliminated if not this week then next week . Same goes for the Fast Foward , it just maybe TPTB are hiding E&J as they do one team a week so no FF this week.
I pick RaYolanda for obvious reasons , they are strong , yeah but not map/directions smart ..theres no team left "behind " them to come in last ...strength won't help them this time , anyway they are my pick for the boot .
Since we really can't know untill tomorrow whether or not its an NEL or not I'm treating this as an Elim right now .

rmax:
As with last week, the online TV guide says the latest team eliminated from the Race will be on Thursday's CBS Early Show.
