Good guess, Kiki; It looks like the Yas Marina hotel.

Just a confirmation of Neobie's find: the fruit and vegetable market off of 20th street. You can see the "Amber Dates" shop from the promo (photo source).

In caps 17-21 Jason & Amy and Travis are doing something with nets. Maybe this has something to do with that fish picture we had from the intro?
The two detours could be fix the nets or prepare a disk of dates.

Who's the one who said the girl have some serious mental issue (something along that line if that isn't correct) referring to Marie?
It's not Tim right?
I'am now and forever post-love

Pretty sure it was Tim that said that. It didn't sound like any of the other males either

The names around the track are names of Formula 1 drivers and the time underneath are lap times.
The lap record for Yas Marina is 1:40.279 by S Vettel (2009).
I saw in the clip the names of Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber, Rubbens Barrichelo, Kazuki Nakajima and Jarno Truli. The first three are still racing in F1. I didn't see the name of Sebastian Vettel, but I think that his must be the name they are looking for.
This would be an easy RB for a fan of F1 like me, because all the names are familiar and I can immediately exclude some of them , but for someone who has no idea who these people are it could prove quite difficult.

Wonder if they are all given a DIFFERENT name in order to prevent sharing??  :bounce

Okay...missing things:

Is the mosque the first task? Then the yacht? ???

Rapell list
Roadblock list
Detour List

And THIS! A hotel garden? somewhere cool, shady, with water will be a premium in Abu Dhabi.....  Also seen in the Press Pics^^

Possible pitstop! Where's this?

After failing to find a suitable location for Leo/Jamal in that confessional, I was thinking - could it be Indonesia instead?
Not sure about the Jason/Amy pic; what are they doing?

I have been thinking this would be a straight forward NEL, but could we actually have another KOR? What does our calendar suggest? Or maybe they are just leaping ahead... :duno:

Al Ain (Arabic: العين‎, al-ʿayn, literally The Spring), also known as the Garden City due to its greenery (wiki)

I fully expect BVM to somehow work in Al Ain's #1 tourist attraction (Paradise Gardens) into that weeks episode.

It's the vegetation that makes me second-guess Abu Dhabi; I don't remember seeing that type of luxuriance in the Gulf Area unless it's a carefully-manicured garden, and trawling the internet for photos of gardens in Abu Dhabi don't give a match... It doesn't match the oasis in al-Ain (also called the Palmerie) either; that one's filled with palms, not the trees we see in Jason/Amy's photo nor the garden we see in Jamal/Leo's photo...

The racers don't change their clothes much! Here are photos from the spoiler team in Bandung:

Still don't know where the fishing nets are; here's what we have so far, including my own (intelligent guess, but baseless) speculation for the Pit Stop location. Or at least around that neighbourhood?

I could see one racer pair at a future pitstop, but not sure I have ever seen two.  ???
