Okay time to update.
We start with actual info on the Oman leg now that we have the time of arrivals.
The leg had to bunches one was the airport the other was the giant incense burner that wasn't open until 6am.
And from the first section airport to burner.
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Fran and Barry
Ray and Yolanda
and the HIppies over a hour later.
The 2cd and the main body of the leg began at 6 am. Teams worked the whole day with a few lead changes while driving. But the final check in times are
Fran and Barry 5:35 pm (took them 11 hours and 35 minutes to complete)
Mojo 5:54 (took then 11 hours and 54 minutes)
Ray and Yolanda 6:26 (took them 12 hours and 26 minutes).
Eric and Jeremy 6:47 (took them 12 hours and 47 minutes)
BJ and Tyler 8:21 (took them 14 hours and 21 minutes)
Few interesting details. Tyler says the roadblock took them about an hour and a half. I think either he is clearly wrong on the time, or they also got seriously lost on the drive to the castle.
With them arriving at the Roadblocks just moments after Fran and Barry, they should if they navigated as well only be an hour or so behind them. They are nearly 3 hours behind them.
Much was made on screen about Mojo getting lost and losing their lead, and Eric and Jeremy getting lost by trying to take a shortcut the locals told them about (insider video).
That in my mind (again unless Tyler was way off) then BJ and Tyler got majorly lost far more then any of the other teams.
This also occured with them in the Greece leg, where they drove one hour in the wrong direction and with backtracking should then by 2 hours (roughly behind) Ray and Yoland and Mojo. But in fact are an addition two hours plus behind. Fran and Barry also got lost in the Greece episode and lost a hour plus in driving.
Leg number 8, episode #10.
We have two bunch up points in this episode. The airport and the opening of the Ferry's.
All teams make the airplane and then race to the First route marker:
Order of Arrival:
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Ray and Yolanda
BJ and Tyler
Fran and Barry
Then from route marker to Ferry terminal. Order of arrival:
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Fran and Barry
Hippies and Ray and Yolanda arrive at roughly the same time from a bus ride (couldn't tell which actual got there first).
Teams then have to wait until 7:30 am to catch the farry to rottnest island. All make it of course:
Clue ride tandem bike 3 miles to lighthouse. Order of Arrival:
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Hippies
Fran and Barry
Ray and Yolanda
Then ride to the detour on the bikes. Order of Arrival:
Eric and Jeremy
Hippies
Fran and Barry
Mojo
Ray and Yolanda
Detour Swim or sand.
Order of completion:
Eric and Jeremy (Swim)
Hippies (Sand)

Fran and Barry (Sand)
Ray and Yolanda (Sand)
Then proceed to prison on main land. First to arrive at Roadblock:
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Hippies
Ray and Yolanda
Fran and Barry
Completion order of Roadblock
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo
Hippies
Ray and Yolanda
Fran and Barry
Go to Pit Stop. Order to check in
Eric and Jeremy
Mojo (just seconds behind)
Hippies
Ray and Yolanda
Fran and Barry (Supposedly just a couple minutes behind) they are the last to arrive and are eliminated.
Notes on this episode. Eric and Jeremy's hustle through the tasks allowed them to reach the first to leave Ferry going toward the main land.
But Jeremy had the hardest time of the racers with the Roadblock (though having others there I am sure helped point the other teams in the right direction.
Concerning alpha or more physical teams. Easily the 2cd strongest physical team (possible the first) is Ray and Yolanda especially leg strength. ANd in this leg where cardio and leg strength were very important, they were beat by every single team. Go figure.
Updated list of order to at the Pit Stop:
Eric and Jeremy 1,2 ,1(1st part of double leg), 1 (final part of double leg), 2, 1, 1, 4, and 1st
BJ and Tyler 2, 1, 4 (1st part of double leg), 2 (final part of double leg), 1, 2, 5, 5, 3rd.

Okay we have had several teams get called on for being followers most going towards Eric and Jeremy, BJ and Tyler and Lake and Michelle.
I will be listing every time teams follow (not work together, though I might mention that as well), it doesn't matter when. I will list weither its following a cab, another teams car, a local, while running, while biking, while looking in an airport.
And just because, I will be going in reverse episode order.
Starting with the most recent episode.
Episode #9 Oman to Perth.
Very little in the way of deliberate following. We only have two instances. Both occur on Rottnest Island.
BJ and Tyler say to just follow the pack on the way to the Lighthouse.
Fran and Barry also say to just follow on the way to the Lighthouse.*
While teams got direction from locals these are the only two times following is mentioned.
Episode #8 Greece to Oman.
Eric and Jeremy, Mojo, and Ray and Yolanda follow Fran and Barry to Gulf Air to get the flight that they got.
In Oman
BJ and Tyler follow a local to the incense burner (and a few other places, see Insider videos).
BJ and Tyler follow Mojo, until the see a local give them directions and then BJ and Tyler pass them.
And a flooded road. Hippies arrive first, then Mojo. Neither team is willing to go through the water. Then Fran and Barry arrive. They also wait. Hippies and Mojo taunt each other trying to get the other to go for it.
Eric and Jeremy arrive and drive through without stopping. The other 3 teams mentioned follow them. Two of them then complain how they just cut in front of them.
At the detour. Fran and Barry decide to follow BJ and Tyler. Then both teams follow a local driver into town to the shop they need to get to.
BJ and Tyler and Fran and Barry (with Fran and Barry leading) decide to travel together to find the roadblock.
In this episode every team follows at least once witht eh fewest being Ray and Yolanda and Eric and Jeremy with 1. Mojo and the Hippies are next with 2. Fran and Barry follow the most times in this episode 3 times.
Episode 7, Italy to Greece
Not much following in thise episode (and its the episode that has the msot teams fairly well lost).
In Rome, Fran and Barry follow BJ and Tyler and Lake and Michelle to the spanish steps.
At the Ancient Agora, BJ and Tyler say to follow Eric and Jeremy to the clue box. Though it isn't Eric and Jeremy who find the clue box first or even 2cd.
Episode 6 Sicily
Okay we get a lot of following in this leg.
Mojo follows a scooter at least part of the way to the city.
BJ and Tyler (after earlier in the morning complaining that all Eric and Jeremy do is follow them) follow Eric and Jeremy through from the first route marker inside the theatre to the detour and back to their cars. They follow them 3 seperate times in this part of the episode.
Mojo follow another driver through part of the city (Insider video).
The Nerds follow a scooter inside town.
The only teams that don't follow in this leg are Eric and Jeremy, Fran adn Barry and Ray and Yolanda.
to be continued....
