I wish that during check-in TAR would show what time they arrive.

When Fran and Barry arrived at the mat in Oman, it was still light outside. Team 2 arrived in dwindling light.

charlierose,
I agree that it was lacking something. But, a lackluster TAR episode beats most other shows.

That 24-hour rest stop had us fooled. First time for that in the past it was either 12 or 36 hours. So the late start times (5:35PM) accounts for the missing hours in Oman.
Teams arrived at Perth Airport at 5:20 so they had about an hour taken to get through customs and immigaration (something that even Phil says they never show since teams standing in lines is boring, boring, boring. And TPTB seem to hold up all teams until the last team is checked through. This makes sense since you could just get in the wrong, long line and be delayed way behind the first team. Taxi then to the Kings Park takes them up to just before 7:00PM and we can see that the light is failing and building lights coming on and by the time the teams get to Fremantle it is dark. Sunset is at 7:01PM. No way were they going to get to Rottnest this day since the last Eagle Express leaves Fremantle at 4:00PM except on Fridays when there is a 6:00PM ferry.
Something strange, but TPTB have the power. When the teams are checking in at the Eagle Express ferry terminal, the schedule sign clearly shows that ferries leave Fremantle at:
7:30
9:30
11:30
And then leave from Rottnest Island at:
8:15
10:30
12:15
But when Eric and Jeremy get on the ferry the title says: 9:15AM (No way could they do the tasks and get on the 8:15AM ferry) and when the other teams boarded the title said 10:00AM. Oh, the power, the power!!
My estimate of pit arrival times:
The Beach Boys 11:30AM to 12:00Noon
MO/JO 11:30AM to 12:00Noon
The Hippies 12:00N to 12:30PM
RaYolanda 1:00PM to 1:30PM
Chateau d If:
Mwooden, I think Episode 9 ended on the 23rd. They had tickets dated on the 22nd and were bunched up at the 7:30 am ferry on the 23rd. The leg ended on that day.
