Those women in the stands seem to be enjoying the goings-on.

Am I correct that I'm seeing velcro-type material on the back of some of the placards?

That may explain why all of those cards didn't fly off in the wind gusts (just the ones that weren't firmly attached.)  Just a guess, and I could be wrong in what I;m seeing, and it may well not work in those higher gusts. But what do you think?

So it is clear from the video that the Cowboys were in first, Brent/Caite behind, then Michael and Louie...no sign of Dan and Jordan.

Then the wind began....and this RB turned into the RB from hell!!

Loved Cord stripping down to put his hat.shirt, and more :flirt: down to hold the placards!!

Whew...should be fun to watch but I am sure it was awful to do!!

Thanks to wp for finding the video!! The afternoon Twitter vid is the promo "Traditional" that we already have, so I think that's all folks!!

I am continuing to update post 2 in this thread with info as we get it!

looks like DAN and JORDAN do the other detour...

Except its a Roadblock. Thats why Jet, Caitie and Louie are waiting at the end of the stadium by themselves. If it was a Detour, then both team members would be working on the puzzle.

I think Dan and Jordan were stuck at a previous task (probably noodles) and haven't arrived. Michael and Louie have trouble with this roadblock which allows for Dan and Jordan to catch up and overtake them in the end.

If Jordan/Dan got stuck at the noodles, then how would they have caught up to the detectives at the clothing task? Maybe that's where they get hung up (or they could be the second team to get screwed by taxis).

We aren't exactly sure where the Fashion task falls within the episode, except that it follows Noodles.  It could  be the  later route marker ...things were shuffled somewhat, looks like.


But Dan and Jordan could very well have gotten hung up by taxis on the way to the second RB.

The color puzzle cards look double sided.  Mean that once they put the color side together, maybe they have to turn over the puzzle for a clue.

Hmmmm....could there be an Escalade Fashion of some sort?? Perhaps the route marker IS the Fashion task??

I :duno: but we DO see two racers with flour/dough on their hands....

Thumbnails>>click-click:



I had been thinking that since we had a "High Fashion" RB next time that all those scenes come be from Leg 2....but the Dumpling Detour apparently comes AFTER the High Fashion RB in Leg 2, So where would the flour come from? So now I am back to trying to make it all fit into this Leg. Which makes more sense from a preview point of view anyway...

Anybody want to see if all the racers clothes are the same throughout the day?? ???

And what's that lady doing behind Jordan? And is Jordan holding a belt or the amazing race pouch?? :lol:
Maybe they all have to get dressed in an outfit, and Louie is worried about his sense of style? :funny:

You guys have already said the fashion part is in the same episode as the noodles.  I agree because once you get to a PitStop you would wash the flour off your hands.  Ergo, flour on the hands at the fashion place means the tasks are in the same leg of the Race.

Finally the Chinese Symbol behind Jordan is 伟 (ping yin: Wei)

I'm pretty sure it,s 佛(Fo).

But what does it mean?? Would it help us find the noodle making restaurant or whatever it is??

Great job, Neobie.

That was my first thought.......I just couldnt find the right pic...

So they are being released from the Marina Barrage Pit Stop on the way to the airport to fly to Shanghai. Looks like dusk, since they land in Shanghai about sunup...well 6 am.

I am wondering if they used escalade as in the French for climbing?
escalade - climbing

Dictionary: escalation, climbing, scaling, climb
More climbing or jumping off tall buildings is always fun to watch!

Did find this, but can't find a Pudong escalade building either.

And the car Escalade does seem a bit out there, but :duno:

1. ascending
2. hill-climbing
3. escalation in an organizational sense, taking a problem up one level such as to a supervisor, a manager, director, or Vice President

Since we have the fashion task now, I am very hesitant about any Escalade task now....

We still have quite a few locations to identify more preciisely...

I have been trying to find the spot we see in these promo pictures (thumbnails>>click-click) of what I am presuming is the noodle making, in an outside patio near the water.



We know that the noodle making is supposed to take place in Zhu Jia Jiao, a canal town known as the Tiny "Venice of the East" and one of the four ancient towns technically in the Qingpu District of Shanghai, but really right outside (1 hour drive).



In Zhu Jia Jiao, there is a  a "bell tower" in the Yuanjin Buddhist Temple on No.187 of Chaohe Street, Zhujiajiao. It does appear to be near the water.



Do y'all think this looks like the tower seen in the background of the promo shot??

If so, using that address, can anyone figure out exactly where our noodles are being made?? :lol:



Following your lead I found this shot of the same building from the same location as the promo  :lol:





The location is here:

Boy you are just too fast Peach!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't really look like a RB, since they are both doing it. It appears they get a drawing of an outfit. Then they have to go into all those clothes racks and find the different pieces of clothing and take back to a model to have them try on and see if they have all the right pieces.
