Rachel knows flowers, so they seemed to just go in and out of the flower shop quickly. Also, with the Roadblock, and much of the navigation on this leg, the streets were empty, making it easier for Rachel to drive the couple, and for them to get around Osaka. ...also, they could have just gotten really, really lucky, and arrived in Japan earlier than expected. And you also have to remember that Nicholas kinda blew chunks at the Roadblock, and Don also blew chunks at the Detour. I wouldn't complain, though. Rachel and TK rock.

Wasn't the castle closed when TJ/Rachel got there? Was it reopened for them? If that's the case, that sucks, they should have had to wait until it opened the next day. If they didn't reopen the castle how did they get their next clue? Did the producers just give it to them? Something stinks! Also when Ronald/Chris got to the pit stop it was clearly daylight, when Donald/./Nicholas got there it was twilight (could that be two hours) and when TJ/Rachel arrived it was very dark with all lights exterior lights on. This means there must be a 5-6 hours difference between 1st and last, unless the producers are up to something. What do you all think?

I realize that but wasn't the cluebox on the grounds of the castle? And if the gates were locked how did the get in? And wasn't it getting dark. I think Ron/Chris have 5 hours at least on TJ/Rachel and since Ron is so great with plane trips and TJ/Rachel suck so bad (this was the second time they fucked up on planes) I can't see them advancing unless the producers decide to do a TBC to save them.. BTW, my 15 year old said that the two layovers that TJ/Rachel had probably were for hours so the timing still doesn't ring right. Last Edited By: pamrose228 01/07/08 10:36 PM. Edited 1 times.

Let's take a flight that has two stops completely as far away as possible from Osaka. No way they do an extra task and leaving three hours behind the others and not get last place. I liked them too, she's cute, and he's so calm, collected.

It's not like going from Seattle to Orlando with a layover. Some countries require you to go through a form of custom if your flight is laid over in your country. He made a presumption on prior travel experiences internationally that since they had 2 layovers and one was in China(Beijing), there would be several hours of down time. I have done international travel but aways direct or non-stop, never had to change planes.

Sounds beautiful! Thanks for solving that part of the mystery. But how long do you think it took them to figure out they didn't have to be in the castle to get the clue?

Maybe the same thing happened here too. :D

A Guido experience might actually make those two interesting. A broken ox and an broken-down Diesel car couldn't even make them interesting.

Remember that Jen/Nathan and Ron/Chris did the searching of that freakin' flower for so long and found it in the second floor while the boring dating couple found it in just almost a minute in the first floor so near to the woman who is supposed to check if the flower is true.... that is so freakin' unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way they edit these episodes, we can't really tell how long it took them to do the tasks but I agree that they MUST be 3 hours behind the last team based on the darkness when they reached the mat.

I've been to Osaka Castle too, and I'm pretty sure the castle is the only feature of the grounds that closes at 5pm. The clue was located just outside the water moat of the castle. I'm pretty sure they could just access it by walking up to the clue box, and I doubt they had to be escorted.
