Say it I was right about Kelly and Christy, Kiwi, neener neener
Nick and Starr were wrong though, I thought he was with Tina for sure.

The Media Day stuff looks like an arboretum; it shouldn't take long to match the railings and walkways.

I got up this afternoon (it's summer, what can I say?) looking to see if they released the Survivor cast, and instead I see The Amazing Race cast! I pulled up my document that I was keeping as a referance for when I needed it and felt to lazy to go back to page 1, and we did a great job! I'm psyched that I was right about Andrew! The cast looks fun, but a part of me wishes we coulde continue this. Everyone here really gave it their all, and this is the result!

seems to be an asian theamed garden. Probably close to the stadium.

Intresting though, the blondes were not taken in the garden. You can tell the stairs behind them are in the stands.

SEARCHING FOR THE SITE OF THE PHOTOS

My hypothesis has been that it sould be at one of the Los Angeles area's botanical gardens which had a modern building adjacent. The answer to that has been the null set. These are the sites I have considered and rejected, always for lack of that modern building adjacent:

Los Angeles Botanical Garden
Descanso Gardens
Arboretum and Botanical Garden of Los Angeles County
Los Angeles Zoo and Botanic Gardens
Viriginia Robinson Garden
South Coast Botanical Garden
Getty Museum
Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden
Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden
Pleasant Valley historical Society and Botanical Garden
Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Gardens
Hannah Carter Japanese Garden
Wrigley Memorial and Botanical Gardens, Catalina Island

I do not know whether the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden has the right kind of modern building adjacent, but adjacent to it is the UCLA campus so iot is quite possible. the floral content appears to be a reasonable fit(although thet same is true for several others above): Photos of Mildred E.Mathias Botanical Garden

If the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden is not right, then my conclusion is that the site must be a large commercial building that has an adjacent gardens for show.
I would appreciate it if one of our LosAngeles area detectives (Chateau?) could state whether that corner of UCLA looks like the buildings shown in the photos in this thread.
