Cool, thanks. Well, looks like I was wrong about this:
I guess that you'll easily find doubles but you won't find the other riders we are looking for (O'Grady, Meyer, Rogers ed)
Oh, well

I do wonder how teams did so much better in the road block then us. Thought we actually did okay.
How many of the 6 did you find?
We only found 3, so with the results it makes sense.

Welcome to the World-renown Sydney Opera House.
For this Detour you have to name each Australian opera singer.
To make it a bit harder, only 6 out of the 8 are opera singers.
So 2 of them are decoys.
PM me back with the six names.
Time penalties will occur for the following:
1. Each incorrect or missing singer. (+100 Minutes)
| Joan Sutherland | David Kirchoffer | Mark Vincent | Maina Prior | | Sarah Crane | Emma Matthews | Emily Scott | Stuart Skelton |
Welcome to the pitch. Australia is known for it's powerhouse Rugby teams.

Mistakes after mistakes by many teams in this leg.
Who overcame them to stay in the race?
It's the closest finish we have had for 1st place since leg #2.
A good flight gives this team the advantage and they take
1st place and get $50 added to their bank account.
18 minutes later, 2nd place arrives after being the only team to get U-Turned.
Half a day later before the middle of the pack comes in.
The last 3 teams all had terrible legs,
lucky for them only 1 team may be eliminated.
They had the worst flight but managed to avoid last place.
They didn't even reach mat, they threw in the towel at the Road Block.
Spoiler
TheManxMissile and brewers90 you are the last team to arrive.
I'm sorry to tell you but... you have been eliminated from the race.
Thanks for participating and I hope you had fun playing.
The 7th leg is finished.
Complete results below. Rest up and see'ya tomorrow.

Ah, so close! Always knew Detour de France would be tough to beat in this task since the time the flight was posted was perfect for Avin

Welcome to the 8th leg of The Amazing Race!
The game clocks are reset and I'm in the Christmas spirit so...
you have all been given $100.
Keep track of your own money because if you spend money
you don't have you will incur a 60 minute penalty.
We move West and to a new continent. Your 7th destination is:
Good Luck and Race Safe!
Air Travel: Sydney to Agra
Using Amazing Race's official travel sponsorship Travelocity,
You have to find the quickest arriving real-time flight from
the current race location to where you are going.
However, there are two twists.
1. An individual flight accumulates a 30 minute delay for each team on it.
Unless you are the only team on the plane then it arrives at the scheduled time.
For example, Travelocity says flight arrives at destination at 4:00 PM.
However 4 teams chose that exact flight so it will actually arrive at 6:00 PM.
2. Each layover gives a 50% chance of being delayed an extra 15 minutes.
Adds strategy to the game as the first arriving flight might not be the best option. Although it could be your golden ticket if everyone decide to avoid it.
Make sure you chose One-Way, not Round-Trip.
You are booking two adult tickets, you and your partner.
Flights don't take money out our team's bank account.
The airports must be in or near designated departure and arrival cities.
The game clock starts now and stops at the arrival time of the flight.
One team member must PM me with their chosen flight.
A screenshot is needed for verification purposes.
The Road Block will be posted later today.
