If indeed they are there, Kudos to the camera crew who shot that!

I think the portion of the clip that you are talking about is shown around/after the running, blocking, and colliding at the second clue box? (I am not at home so I can't review it. Work - lunch - checking in, no access to video!) They show Margie, infuriated! and possibly horrified? If you look back when that portion starts, you can see Margie (at least I think it is Margie, the pinkish color shirt is correct) just starting to come down the steps as Jen and Luke run body blocking each other as they leave from the step area. I think the cut they are showing of Margie's expression is her reaction to the race and it's results at the clue box. As far as I can tell, it was not at the mat. It was "on the beach", at least I think it is a beach....
My question is: Don't both team members have to be present, NEXT to each other, to open the clue? Margie is still coming down the steps trailing Luke by 20 feet or more. Kisha doesn't seem to be in sight, still paying off the taxi or far enough behind Margie on the steps that I can't see her.... So WHY all the pushing and shoving. Unless maybe they are battling it out for first or at least think they are. They can be fairly sure they are not going to be last since they should know that M/M didn't make their plane.

Sometimes be first to a clue box is important. If a team was heading toward a U-turn sign, you would want to be first (or at least ahead of the closest team). And you might want to be first for a sign up.
Having said that, I do not see a U-turn sign near the clue box that could prompt such an action. Maybe an early clue warned teams that a race event was ahead.

I wouldn't mind J/C winning this leg either. Not happy with Jaime's ugly america side! However, they both seem to work hard at the tasks, make good choices on detours (and about getting their stuff BEFORE leaving the dock), and, other than losing their taxicab briefly in India, they have been improving their finishing positions. The way I interpret the India leg, not being able to find their taxicab immediately cost them about 2 positions. They finished the task before K/J and M/L, but had to find their cab before leaving for the pit stop.
As I said before, J/C should have the advantage when it comes to learning a dance routine. Hopefully, Jaime's incident with the dance judge is only her usual grumpiness and does not cause them to totally mess up.

As 2 (or 3) teams approach the mat, usually the later team stays a few feet away until Phil summons them to the mat to join the earlier team.
I don't think that the order (left to right) of the teams on the mat tells us the order of arrival. The main reason that T&V are in the middle is to separate the other bickering teams.

Haven't seen that clip yet, do you have a link, or any more info from it?
Thanks
