yes. They leave 12 hours later, in the order in which they arrived. As far as the grouping point... not much "they" can do about that as "we" can't really change the times businesses open and close. Sort of makes the game exciting when you have a team thats 4 hours behind, and the lead team has already left the starting point but the business doesnt open til "noon," so its anyone's race again. This way you get to see more fighting and yelling at each other.

Seeing that whale try to get through the snow and across the ropes was pretty amusing. I thought the zip line was going to snap with her on it.
thats mean.

The grouping is deliberate. Otherwise chances are that you would have a team that obtains a huge lead over everybody else with little chance of anybody catching up. By periodically forcing the teams together the race becomes more dramatic, and we have more interaction between the teams.

yes, it's great entertainment, lol. it is so much fun to see the lead team(s) totally bust their asses to maintain their leads...and then they have to wait 4 hours for a ferry/train/bus/plane/whatever and then each and every team catches up with them......

.....it also fun to see a team just miss a train or whatever by mere seconds (this happened to a team in one of the last few episodes of TAR3......was it zach and flo?) that would have given them a lead over all the other teams by a few hours.......lol, totally devastating. top notch entertainment.

i haven't read any of the previous posts in order to avoid spoiling the season for me... i'm out of the US and a friend is taping it for me..

anyway, i just want to ask how the ratings are doing? will there be an AR5?! i read that reruns of friends and scrubs managed to beat it this week... which sucks... i love scrubs as well, which is cool... but a rerun beating a firstpeat... that sucks..

anyway, i'd just like to know. thanks!

I did a recap viewing of Leg 2 last night, we came up with Team Jar-Jar for the models because it seems like they're still in this race by complete accident.
