There is also an Argentinian flag behind Nick and Vicki at the U-Turn, I thought it was a clue. :lol:

It is sugarcane juice! They use the rolling compressor to extract the juice out of the sugarcane. :)

It is definitely sugarcane juice, the mugs are similar to that used by Indian hawkers in Singapore, most of whom are either Tamil or Bengali descent, to sell sugarcane juice, and the contraption looks similar.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they are required to go multiple places to get multiple ingredients for the drink they have to prepare. All in those boats......shopping on the water.
I am going to assume the brick carry and stacking job is harder but much faster and all the teams do it. Since only C/S and B/C.........they do the U turn detour too.
I think the RB is to fix a rickshaw, so it can take you someplace. Jill/Thomas and Nick/Vick are seen riding in rickshaws with smiles, while Claire, Jill and Chad watch their partners "fix" rickshaws. I can see Nick finishing this first...since he is a motorcycle rider back home.

I was thinking along these same lines, don't forget that Nat and Kat do the sugar cane too.
It looks like they are getting the bricks off of the boats too, I wonder how far they have to walk for each trip back and forth. By the way Chad is acting it seems like they are doing the bricks as their "U-turn task."
