The background of the quick Brooke and Claire pose is a pink tree behind Brooke. They're getting UTurned by Jill and Thomas.
The background behind Nat and Kat's title shot is OR monitors/equipment and it's grayish blue.
The background behind Chad and Stephanie's title shot is blue on blue sea/sky behind them.

Thank you eamon, for doing what this poor technologically-challenged n00b couldn't! :)
I like the Nat/Kat theory because it doesn't make sense to me that Chad/Stephanie would get UTurned before them, I think it's just a case of Nick/Vicky only having one team behind them and that's Jerk and co.

That' probably true considering that N/V don't really have a vendetta with anyone. Also looks like Chad is back in form for this one. :snics: I was starting to worry about him last week.

Nat & Kat decide not to U-turn
Jill & Thomas u-turned Brook & Claire
Nick & Vicki u-turned Chad & Stephanie
First team arrived at the pit stop is Nat & Kat
Last to pitstop : Chad & Stephanie

I like it, except not sold on N/K arriving first. I can't decide.

I don't think they'll win this next leg. They were with Brook & Claire and Chad & Stephanie, so I think they'll all get to the U-Turn around the same time, or Nat & Kat will get far enough ahead of Nick & Vicki, at least, not to worry about getting U-Turned. Or they'll be behind them, and Nick & Vicki will just U-Turn Chad & Stephanie out of panic.

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."
--- End quote ---
It looks like they collect the bricks from a boat and then dump the bricks into some type of conveyor system. I suspect they reload the bricks at the top of the conveyor system and transport them to the stacking area.

Are you sure she's not just dropping them?
--- End quote ---
There is no conveyor system so she's dropping them on accident. There is a 45 second video on Youtube showing a guy balancing bricks on his head and walking off the boat to transport them.

Or Brook and Claire UTURN Chad and Stephanie as their only chance of survival

Nice find to back up what I was saying, that's exactly what they are doing. The poster of that video said that is a common sight in Bangladesh. I tend to think that that detour choice is the harder one.
They wish they had that guy :lol:
