You could be right. I see a pattern on the sidewalk.

 :lol: coincidence?.... I wondered why Jeanne d'Arc church was way out there... over 2.5 miles from downtown HCMC, while all the other "known" locations were within a mile of downtown.   :ascared

Guess it pays to study the vidcaps... they may be telling us the obvious.   ;)

Oh look, a lovely plaza (with decorative tiles) in front of the church.... (wonder if they took the amazing "bath mat" pix there?) even though the hugging racers are actually down the street to the right.   :res:

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=10.756909&lon=106.667043&z=17&l=0&m=a&v=2

According to wikimapia, it has 3 different names:

Nhà thờ Thánh Nữ Jean D'Arc
Nhà thờ Ngã Sáu
Nhà thờ Văn Lang


and there's a spoiler that Henry and Bernie got eliminated in this leg.

i received an sms telling me that H&B will be eliminated on the next leg... :(

Maybe that's why Henry cries because he loses.  :'(

I'll just take a wild stab at the odds and ask that the Joan of Arc church be the Pit Stop.  Because

1)  a team is shown crying/hugging there
2)  that shot was near the end of the day (sun coming from the west)
3)  the tiles!
4)  down with the zoo spoiler!

Oh duh!
Add that to banzai's post and  :yess:, good job everyone  :jumpy:

thanks for the tips banzai , finally I see it  :lol:

Thanks Boingo .
I am not surprised, the first thing I said when I saw the preview is that something does not click and even asked peach that night if maybe the source was lied to,  been there done that   :snicker:

Good work guys! I am still in awe over the sidewalk, that topped my most wanted list.

But anything is possible still, right?

Could this be a faux mat/aka TBC here? Tears of relief? I want to see the rest of our spoiler.... :angel:

And time is tight. If they have a pitstop here and are released about 4AM on 5/24...where would they go for just one day before we see them in Hue?? Apparently flights don't allow Taiwan, for example.

Askip likes Hanoi, but I :duno:  Saigon, Hanoi, and Hue? I like the Mekong Delta much better.

Grasping at hope, here, :lol:   And because there are other rumors that Henry/Bernie went far....

Quote
“It was relentless ... everything was a blur. It is like nothing you have ever experienced before, really. I have worked in busy kitchens where I had to cook 100 dinners ... but in no way did it compare to what we had to go through in the race. You never really know what is going to happen. Sometimes you think it is the end of the leg and then no, we get another clue and realise the race is still on,” says 43-year-old Henry during a recent interview with The Star.

Yeah, those aren't the words of an early Bootie.  I hope Henry & Bernie are with us for quite a while.

So let's find that 'largest Buddha in Saigon'  for the yellow garlands.   :jam:

They were carrying those garlands in the find a clue in the place of a gazillion Buddha's task in ep 1 in/near Bangkok so I think it was an unshown part of that task.

But I would like a location map for those Buddha's? I don't think we have one...

It's in the route webpage, peach.  :jumpy: :hearts: :wohoo:

Is it a NEL? Henry was so glad that he bursts into tears.  :'(

btw, that church is gothic.   :waves: Kynt was a crew.   ;)

Ridiculously long train ride? Followed by hours of operation bunching? This has the benefit of having TPTB in Hue before the teams arrive to film intros/do last-minute setup/whatever and also provides the chance of a Flo-style meltdown (three guesses as to who I'm referring to; the first two don't count ;)).

Thanks puddin but that's too much to search,  :lol:

I just downloaded the preview from bittorrent. It's not the best but we can tell that church is the pitstop. The patterns on the sidewalks are clearer to see.

Palm tree is there. X marks the spot of the mat.



That's how Allan Wu faces the racers that way. So the mat is near the street. The yellow patterns are near the bushes and the grass. You already know these stuffs.  blahblah

Banzai!! :hearts:

Thank you for the preview! But your eyes are better than mine...I can't see the yellow design yet much less a "tree"...  :lol:
I am going with your eyes on this one... 
Great work pinpointing that! I still want a TBC mat though.... :res:
Are we likely to get a new preview this week? I hopehopehope?

Puddin! on a roll! DAK attack!  :yess: Lots to look at there... 

And I guess the AXN map is okay...but y'all have addicted me to GE!! :jumpy:
Thanks to Ken, I know the Buddha's were here: http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/7153/spanw1.htm
I'd just like a nice pretty map for posterity, lol... Kao San to Caltex, to Buddha's to finale.

And banzai, just to clarify one time cause you are so good to us:
Kynt does not "work" for AXN, was not "crew", and was not "production", despite what has been posted elsewhere. Really.  ;)
