Timeout for first slide in slideshow not working (lasts almost double other slides)

Question

I am using a responsive slideshow (http://responsiveslides.com/) for some testimonials on a website with the following settings:

jQuery(".rslides").responsiveSlides({
  auto: true,             // Boolean: Animate automatically, true or false
  speed: 100,            // Integer: Speed of the transition, in milliseconds
  timeout: 10000,          // Integer: Time between slide transitions, in milliseconds
  pager: false,           // Boolean: Show pager, true or false
  nav: true,             // Boolean: Show navigation, true or false
  random: false,          // Boolean: Randomize the order of the slides, true or false
  pause: true,           // Boolean: Pause on hover, true or false
  pauseControls: true,    // Boolean: Pause when hovering controls, true or false
  prevText: "Previous",   // String: Text for the "previous" button
  nextText: "Next",       // String: Text for the "next" button
  maxwidth: "",           // Integer: Max-width of the slideshow, in pixels
  navContainer: "",       // Selector: Where controls should be appended to, default is after the 'ul'
  manualControls: "",     // Selector: Declare custom pager navigation
  namespace: "rslides",   // String: Change the default namespace used
  before: function(){},   // Function: Before callback
  after: function(){}     // Function: After callback
});

However, the first slide lasts almost double the other slides. Does anyone know how to fix this or why it is happening? Any help would be really appreciated!

You can see the error at this page: http://www.hbprojectsltd.co.uk/testimonials

The reason is because you have the same testimonial twice.

If you look at the source code for the page, it shows that the first testimonial is exactly the same as the second. The slide animation is happening but because it looks the same, it looks as if nothing has happened.

See here (line 97 - 110):

You'll just need to remove one of the blockquotes and your problem should be fixed.
