To me it looks like B/C and J/T are on opposite sides of the room, whereas N/K may be the ones who've already completed the task- thus the empty iPad.

However it could go either way... maybe N/K or J/T are behind B/C. However, the footage of B/C does come across as them being slightly defeated. They look deflated, while the others look stressed and on-game.

I still think that N/K break ahead before the bungee jump, a lead they maintain to the final memory challenge. They finish the final challenge before B/C even arrive, leaving J/T and B/C to battle it out for second.

I think that if it were a tight race to the end, they would have played on that for the trailer. The fact that no two teams are really seen together suggests that there is in fact a bit of a gap between teams.

I think N/K have this. All signs point to their victory. They look excited and smiling in what appears to be the final cab ride, while B/C, only minutes from the finish line, look highly anxious and defeated.

J/T are a bit of a loose cannon though... however I highly doubt they will win with the extreme emphasis on both F/F teams.

So do I ... I think Nat & Kat will win and I'll be squealing with delight when I see them do so.

I drove down to Berth 95 (SPQ) to find the viewpoint. The picture below is from the corner of the helipad looking north. There are some container stacks (the only direction you can see them) but there's so much stuff cluttering the view that I doubt the J/T cab shot is there. They're either lost on Terminal Island as Chateau suggests, or they're at the crane site.
This intersection is where the cruise passengers arrive and it's also the terminal for the Catalina ferry. Any decent cabdriver would know how to get there. But the heliport? Finding it might be harder (fewer requests).

Great work, Slowhatch!
The cap indicates that they are lost and frustrated. Perhaps because their cabbie does not know where the heliport is.

Quick Analysis:
1. No new information, but different angles of the same things.
2. They are running the first FF team to win thing into the ground.
3. The promo gives a lot of attention to Brooke and Claire.
4. The trip to LA is confirmed.

Yellow: Diplomas?
Green: Other electronic devices?

Why are there so many certifications and things on the wall?

Maybe J/T got tired of the taxi driver being lost (or being lost themselves) and stopped at an electronic repair shop to have someone check the yellow pages for an address?  Neither look happy...

I agree...they appear to be lost and asking for directions.

Judging by the quality of the ceiling and the desk and shelving it is not anywhere fancy.
I would go with the repair shop idea b/c the "not responsible" sign would probably be somewhere that fills orders. It could mean if someone leaves something they have brought in to be repaired for too long the shop is not responsible.
An odd place to ask directions.......what are they trying to find?

What are they talking about in this shot?

They are talking about the bungee jump. She is saying that she lost her bananas.

I lightened up this shot a little.  Maybe it will help track down the location.

I couldn't find any repair shop on Terminal Island (doesn't mean it isn't there; I got a little lost myself driving around the place). Not in San Pedro either (for WP).

No it doesnt look like they are happy, it looks like they are just wanting to go home.

They are reacting to the topic they are talking about-the bungee jumping task.

It looks like on the map that in order to get to Catalina they need to get off on North Front St. However it would be easy to get funneled onto the bridge and cross it. If they do that it is going to be a mess.
However I wonder if JT get lost later b/c according to Chateau all teams leave the jump within 10min of each other and I agree.

Do you guys think that the theater memory challenge (if that's what we're calling it) is like the chip counting challenge from a few seasons back... Double Roadblock?

Could it be possible that teams are told to search for a specific (and obscure) electronics store in order to pick up their ipad?
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Nice idea Danooky! That place that JT are at is obviously the wrong one though. I'm sure there are plenty of Apple stores in the LA area.
