Sam & Dan/Maria & Tiffany look like they're checking in. Is there a chance the Pit Stop is somewhere near Atlantis?

Ya maybe. I just thought that maybe they're checking in is because where Sam/Dan/Maria are standing, I can't see it be around the same place Gary/Matt are standing. I'll go try look for pictures. :P

As for the Globetrotters shot, where are they? The Gold Souk area?
I'm baaaaaack!

This looks Pitstopish to me, which of course would mean the alliance checks in together... and after the water task



Can we find this?

Saw that too. Maybe they check in somewhere near the hotel itself? Notice the lack of trees behind Sam/Dan/Maria and the area near the slide bottom is covered with trees.

For the life rings: I read 'Challenger 2'. Who knows if it helps or not? :duno:

Gold souq in Dubai?

Looks like a golf course/park behind innertube Harlem...?

Are Megan/Cheyne high-fiving over a hookah? Or just really nice looking rugs/stuff?

And (SUPER SPEC) I think Gary is on the boat; to the right of the three men sitting you can see two shadows, one of which looks like it's wearing a huge load and baseball cap (or else it's a cameraman and Gary is on the left in the light shirt).

Is anybody able to enhance the image of the three men on the boat? Particularly the glass behind them, there are definitely people reflecting, but I can't tell who.

Random thought: Is there a chance Mika/Canaan quit the Atlantis task, and that's why they are eliminated? Due to a penalty?

Not an innertube, but a Challenger 2 inflatable boat. Why he's paddling--when you can see an oar sticking out of the side--is a mystery.
They would need sheltered waters (I'm guessing) for the racers to row out to the yacht. One of the inside arms of the Palm would do it, but I can't find any matching treeline/background.

So is it - collect and weigh $1 million in gold - put it in the briefcase - travel by raft to the boat with the briefcase - give the gold to the drug lords on the boat to receive your next clue?

From there to here, and here to there,
funny things are everywhere

Drug lords? More likely to be oil barons or something.

Raymond, the odds are maybe 40% that you are right with this hypothesis. However, the more likely propsect is that CBS/WRP have used the old misdirection play to lead you to the incorrect conclusion that Mika is giving up and will not go down that slide. Think of the number of instances in Amazing Races where just before the commercial all is lost and then there is a miraculous recovery. I predict that will happen one more time. Mika/Canaan may still be eliminated, however, due to the time lost before she does go down the slide.

 ;D  I'm goin' to have to side with peach on this one, sure looks like a pitstop.  "The boyz" are standing next to Maria (notice yellow swimsuit strap).  Looks like they arrive at the same time.  The waterslide may be the last task before meeting Phil.  :duno:

Just wondering if that is a mosque behind the boat.  Can't seem to find any mosques in Dubai, near the water, with 4 minarets.  Closest one is Mosque Jumeriah, but that has only 2 minarets.   :duno:  I have a feeling the boat is somewhere near the old town, Dubai Creek, Gold Souk area of Dubai.  

eta:  ...or are these 2 different mosques (with 2 minarets each)?  I think I see what looks like 2 domes...

I can see the water task as the task to "enter" the Pit Stop.
