It's a bus  :lol:   .. cripes good catch Neobie  :yess:

Wait. If Zev & Justin do the Detour by a bus & Lance & Keri do the RB by a bus as well, what does it all mean? :duno:

Also, look at the bus behind Zev: It says "15T-8ON" & "Thanh Pho". Is this any hint as to where they are in that shot?
My first thought was Zev is watching Justin do the RB with the bus behind him?

Oh right. At first I thought it was at the Detour, but Justin was wearing black in the giraffe shot and at the bus shot, the guy behind Zev with the backpack is wearing a different color. Looks like one of Dan/Sam to me? :duno:
I'm baaaaaack!

Justin would be in front of Zev sitting not behind Zev if he were doing the Roadblock

Didn't think of it like that. It's starting to show that I'm new to this. :lol:

And as for the guy behind Zev: I couldn't find anyone that matches the backpack strap, so maybe the guy behind is just a passerby.
I'm baaaaaack!

"Thanh Pho" is the first two words of "Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh" (Ho Chi Minh City), so we should probably concentrate on what's in the middle of the circle!

Clever CBS to slip in that Shot of Zeb at the RB.

The Green dude must be a judge. Are those Yellow and Red clues in his back pocket?

15T - 80N

Is tonnage.  As is the cargo  capacity or net weight  of the vehicle:   15 metric tons =  80 (kilo)Newtons

Is it a bus or some kind of electric light rail - streetcar? Looks like electrical connectors on top maybe?

Could the person behind Zev be Matt? (The scraggly beard, tall person)

Perhaps watching Gary do the RB as well? Putting them neck and neck.

Right now, I can only see Maria/Tiffany and Sam/Dan helping each other and they wouldn't help each other during frantic race time, so I wonder who this could be.

Make your way to HCMC

Lance and Keri can't find the clue, Lance is "Done with you".

Marcy is blowing a whistle?? :funny:

Matt and Gary may have different ideas about which way to go.

We also see the same giraffe ones as before

Canaan doing the waste RB

Is Lance terrorizing those schoolkids? :ascared:
