Does anybody think this is or could be the building in the background?

I can't convince myself that the other one suggested by mwooden is it.  And I really need to get this down in order to make the best time guess.

This one is a lot closer to Rodina Mat.

-Chateau---see if this site helps you--the tower behind James is the Great Bell Tower at upper Lavra, Caves Monastery( also known as the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra)
And here is a map--it should be near the arsenalna metro stop (lower right)

Thanks Puddin.

But I think this picture was taken from the location you have marked as Tower!

In Leg 1, the TAR Producers gave us a mid-leg elimination.  At the time it seemed like foreshadowing.  Having seen 4 teams in the next (Morocco) leg, we will not have 2 teams eliminated tonight.  It would be interesting if the Cho's were Philiminated before we expect.  Or maybe the unextpected elimination will rear its head again soon. B:)

Expect the unexpected. :o

but but the Cho's are seen doing the Roadblocks & Detours? I can't imagine them being eliminated anywhere but the pitstop.

As for expecting the unexpected, unforuantely besides maybe some stunts or something, there isn't enough teams to really mess with eliminations.  And this late in the game, I honestly can not see them offing a team mid episode.

Now I would like to see them change the format of the final leg and instead of placing some of the tasks at another destintation thousands of miles away.  I would much rather see them get to the lower 48 at the start and then have a full amount of roadblocks, detours and stunts at routemarkers giving a real chance for the team who races the best leg to actually win.

For example last season, I like Tyler & BJ.  So I wasn't unhappy they won (and they did run a fairly strong race except for 3 legs).  But they didn't run the best overall leg, and thats what bothers me.  I don't care for that, and with how they set up final legs, it makes it so much easier for a time to just do one event the best (as long as its the final one) and for them to win.

Now I understand why they do this.  It makes the ending more exciting.

But really, this isn't a leg to win a trip or jet skis or 20,000.  This is the most important leg, the one that should reward teh best racers, or at the very worst the team that runs the best final leg.

Calm down Puddin!

Here is the flight board that was show as the Boys entered the airport.

Why didn't they take the 11:45 flight to Kiev?  Not the time on the board:  9:45 pm.

Chateau, based on the confessionals by the Wins & the Lyns ..Kiev looks like an extended pitstop but you probably already know that :D.

Interesting. VV is the code for Aerosvit, the Ukrainian airlines; but their map doesn't show any helsinki connections (maybe a codeshare). If we knew what day of the week they left, HEL airport has a nice timetable search.

I didn't know it until now!

BTW, and for the record here is a flash cap that was presented in the show when Phil was describing the Rap Detour.  There was a sequence of shots from each visited country.  This one was one for Mauritius (or Madagascar for that matter).
