If things were that bad for them in Jasper, I fully expect to see them driving around Okotoks next week while all the other teams are in downtown Calgary. Actually, the way they were going, I wouldn't be surprised to see them somehow end up in Golden before they realize they took a wrong turn.
The editing of the Gondola challenge really confused me when I watched it the first time, so I went back to watch it again. For some reason, they never showed Anne's first attempt (which was obviously a failure). This is what confused me when watching it.
This is how it went (from what was shown):
- 1st Gondola: Stephane (fail), Ashley (fail), Emmett (succeed)
- 2nd Gondola: Amy (fail), Kelly (fail - penalty), Steph (succeed)
- 3rd Gondola: Yvette (fail), Lowell (fail), Brandon (fail - penalty)
- 4th Gondola: Stephane 2 (succeed), Ashley 2 (succeed), Anne (fail? -- didn't show)
- 5th Gondola: Amy 2, Yvette 2, Lowell 2 -- Cancelled partway up the mountain
After Stephane completes his second attempt, you can see Tanya in the other gondola with Antoine, so Anne must have made some attempt, but they didn't show it. Knowing that, it makes more sense how the challenge played out. The second attempt had the racer's weight supported, so it should have been relatively easy to complete without a second failure. The length of time they made the teams wait would also have been easy to calculate based on how long the other teams took on their second attempt. Anne & Tanya had to wait longer because they would have had to wait for the first group to finish their second attempts before Anne could do hers.
