Some updated information that confirms some of the stuff we have.
The silver mercedes leaving the parking lot in front of Headquarters of MB in Untertuerkheim has the license plate ending in 3779. Later we see a silver Mercedes on the high bank and it also has plate ending in 3779. So this now confirms that the teams most likely take taxies (Mercedes, of course, as most taxies in Germany are Mercedes) to the MB headquarters and then they have to search for the clue box which we see is at one end of the parking lot. The clue directs them to find a car with "professional" driver for the ride of their life!I think they may get a "start" tag off some other post since it looks like Ray is holding a small white cardboard square in his fingers as he slides into the front seat. This follows since we see the same silver Mercedes at the start line and later on the high banked track.
I haven't check all possibilites, but it may be that teams do have an option of finding the best flight from Moscow to Frankfurt. For instance, Austrian Airlines (OS) has flights leaving SVO for FRA via Vienna (VIE) leaving at 05.35 arriving at 08.50 and another leaving at 09.05 arriving at FRA at 12.30. So when they say that there is a computer crash at a "foreign" airport they may mean that this hints at an airport "foreign" to Russia. There are more flights through Munich on Aeroflot (perish the thought of flying on this airline); on Air France through Paris; or on LOT through Warsaw.
The Detour is clearly the two tasks at the Bavaria-Filmstadt in Geiselgasteig (the latest promo even says so with a supered title!). The following teams are accounted for either dressing into Lederhausen, learning the Schuhplattler , or smashing bottles:
Ray and Yolanda
Lake and Michelle
BJ and Tyler
MO/JO
Eric and Jeremy
Fran and Barry
Missing from these scenes are:
David and Lori
Double Dees
Wanda and Desiree
Since these teams were the last three teams to check in at St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, they could be the teams who missed the flight, connection, whatever and ended up the last teams to arrive in Frankfurt and later the last teams to arrive in Stuttgart. We have that scene where we see the Double Dees apparently by themselves getting off the ICE-T in Stuttgart. There is just one shot of these teams on the test track, Lori and David.
Then we have what sure looks like Wanda and Desiree leading the Double Dees down the wrong road on the way to the Roadblock at Guenzburg.
So my guess is that the Philiminated team tonight will be one of these three. Pick one.
