5 Points Are all teams fully equalized during the start of this leg?
Yes. at the locked gate to the circus
--- End quote ---
I thought that teams trickled in after it opened?
mswood:
Kwando. We know that Kevin and is third in line, we know that Kevin & Michael are the 2nd team to get and two open a clue. We know the clue box is very close to the gate. And while Kevin is ripping his clue open, we can see a person from every team (well except Jill & thomas who were ahead of Michael & Kevin). Thus all teams had to be at that gate before it opened.
Thus all were fully equalized.

I just freeze framed the sequence that shows teh picture you attached.
Clearly the first three racers at the gate, are Thomas, Jill and Kevin. Next scene Thomas is pulling out a clue, as Jill runs up to the clue box with Kevin right next to here.
Next scene Thomas and Jill opening Clue.
Next scene (which includes the frame posted above) is Kevin (with Michael behind him opening his clue, the clue box is behind them and it appears that Brook & Claire are grabbing their clue at this point. We can also see that a line is basically formed. With Nat & Kat, then Chad & Stephanie and then we see running up Gary (we see a small fraction of Mallory's arm she is up camera from Gary slightly). But you do see Nick running up (at about the time you see a sliver of Mallory's arm) and he is not in the same basic line formed by others. He appears to be going directly to the clue box, and by the time the scene changes again he is now past Gary & Mallory and Chad & Stephanie.
Now in previous seasons, it can be a free for all, in others teams ahve been very respectful and gone in order. We have no way of knowing. But based on the formed line idea (take one in turn) it would appear that Nick & Vicki would be last, but based on screw the line who ever gets their hand in the clue box is the order we go in, Nick & Vicki could easily be before Nat & Kat (the clip doesn't go long enough to let us see we actually gets to the cluebox first.
But there are two many examples of teams pushing their way to get a clue, for me to even consider this reference.

I knew I had clarified, the detour issue before as when that tasks starts be it the walk from a car by the location or when they actually start doing something specific to the task (in many cases putting on safety equipment or costumes). I decided that doing something specific to the task would mark the start, and since we see teams in that same basic area with their noses, I assume one of the clowns handed out noses around the time they got the clue. Though we don't have an specific picture to point out exactly where they got their noses.
But that same basic rule applies. In the above post I explain why I can't use getting the clue. And the criteria above their is no specific footage to clarify racing order.
Its a wash. Free points for everyone.

Boy am I way the hell behind.
