Early guess for the bridge where L/K are opening the clue in the AOL preview -- this one in Lyon near the Hotel Dieu...

Actually, the more I look at GE, the less I like Hyde Park as the finish. The cemetery is across the road away from the waterfront (see red arrow below), and I don't see a match for the hills/mountains behind Phil or a break in the trees along the river at Hyde Park for the finish line area. There's also a major road right along the riverbank (yellow arrow) -- I don't see that in the promo clips, nor would they want to set up the finish along a roadway.

Don't be so fast to dismiss the promo clips & GE image of Hyde Park.  The banks of the Hudson River near Hyde Park are quite steep.  According to GE, the roadway by the river is at an elevation of 10-30ft, while the grassy open area atop the cliff is at 200ft.  The roadway might not be seen at all.  The finish line may actually be at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Park (in Hyde Park, NY).  

ETA: Looks like the riverside "road" is actually "train tracks".

That's possible, Puddin -- can anyone pluck out a graveyard near the river on GE?

Also, FWIW, the name of the bridge above is Pont Wilson in Lyon -- not sure it's a match but it looks pretty close to the one with L/K in the AOL promo. Still looking for the right view...

I suspect Bama opening their clue is the beginning of the leg.  Thus they would near the fountain in Barcelona.

Googled St. James Church, Hyde Park (near Vanderbilt Mansion site) and it said FDR attended this church which has a historic cemetery.

I saw that one, Boingo -- but it doesn't seem to match up with the finish line on the water front -- see GE map on last page...

I think the L/K voiceover at the beginning of the AOL promo has been edited from at least 2 different speeches:

1. We are the first female team ever to make the final three -- we have made history...
2. Now we just have to be the first team to win the million dollars...

I'm suspecting this because that testimonal at the beginning of their segment looks to be at the finish line area... and the second part of the statement makes no sense if they've already finished the race.

BTW: Don't think I had the right bridge in Lyon after all -- with this close up, the pillars look different...

No, I DO agree with you Boingo -- I was saying that I was an idiot for not thinking of that being the Eiffel Tower.   :cmas16

look at that picture and count legs, there are 10 pairs of legs waiting...A case could be made for the frat boys to the left or rob and kimberly to the right of the mat, but I don't think any of those could be bama...that would make me VERY happy to see them not win...what do yall think?

and yes, i agree that none of them are wearing the right cloths, BUT it looks like it was sorta chilly with all the other teams wearing pants...so perhaps they threw on other shirts or pants etc?!

Question: Do you think they will have a task at the final mat like in TAR 8 and 9? Those were roadblocks and it looks like the parachuting is the roadblock of this leg.

I still wonder why the Bamas are carrying their backpacks in the pic we are led to believe is the sprint to the mat. They are also the only team that are wearing the same clothes for the whole leg.

Sups, the skydiving plane is registered in Lyon, France, so that task isn't at the finish line -- but I'm guessing there's probably a task at the finish since that seems to be the trend as of late.

I studied the picture and at first thought there were 10 teams but now I'm pretty sure there are only 9. The left side definitely has only 4 teams and the right is a little more tricky but appears to be 5 teams.

On the left we have: Duke and Lauren, Vipul & Arti (?), Peter & Sarah, and closest to Phil are the Chos
On the right we have: Bilal & Saeed, team cheer, blurs which are probably Tom & Terry and David & Mary (?), and finally the BQ's
I'm pretty sure the most recent eliminated racers are closest to Phil. Sarah and Peter can be identified by the height difference but it looks like Peter is wearing a skirt/.  :cmaslol

 :cmaslol  Yet more views....this time (a Google GE view) from the FDR House (just south of Vanderbilt House at Hyde Park).  What caught my eye was the train tracks sticking out into the Hudson River.  Just throwing this out there, just to confuse everyone.   :rotf:
