To be exact, Brian and Ericka was first with Roadblock, then Meghan and Cheyne first at theater task, then Sam and Dan first at Chips counting task. One of the most exciting finale for about let's say... 50 minutes of the show until it was clear Meghan and Cheyne would win.

Originally, I thought the "partition" was well behind them and just brought forward by the camera lens. The Plexiglas desk would "disappear" in front of it. But the more I look at it, the more artificial and FX-y it seems.
It could be that the question or clue they are looking at is being shown to us via split screen, but the editors removed it for this clip.
Still, given the steep left angle for N&K, they probably are to B&C's left. If the three desks are arranged in a horseshoe pattern around a central display, N&K would be to the extreme left with B&C in the center.
Unless the editors flipped the shot ...

I think the righthand side of N/K's glass podium is cutoff by some editing (The yellow line) and I don't think the angle is shifted for the podium. It is just the shape of the podium that is funky. If you look at the other podiums too, it looks like they are all a triangle-ish shape, with the apex pointing outwards from where the two stand. (see p.10 of this thread for comparison.)
*Although that does leave us with the question of why the apex is pointed towards the viewer, but their bodies are looking leftwards (so either the podium is not centered towards whatever big screen might be in the middle or there are multiple screens or whatever they are looking at spread out...)
This is my guess. But it could also be editors messing with us!

I can tell you personally that the SB405 or EB105 shouldn't be a problem on a Tuesday morning (assuming 15Jun). But if there's something in the morning gap as Chateau has mentioned then all bets are off. There's no archive data I could find, but this site will give you a rough idea: click the "Historical L.A." dropdown box and choose an hour from a Tuesday morning to get an idea of the traffic.

Can't we have Jack Bauer down at CTU pull all the traffic camera data from June 15 and track them down that way?! :cmas27 :cmas31: :cmaslol

Note to Peach: When is that surveillance satellite going up?

Jack is on it now! :tup:

Hi guys, remember the promo where Brook said "we could be first, or last"?
So my question is, isn't that a taxi they were in when she said that? If so, then they must have said that before VT Bridge, or after Pasadena. That means after Pasadena would be a more likely timing, since it doesn't make sense that they would make such dramatic statement so early in the leg. So, if they said after Pasadena, then they couldn't have seen any teams during the task at Rose Bowl. And this leads me to believe that J/T screwed up big time during the time between the bungee jump and Pasadena, since it seems as though B/C and J/T saw each other at the bungee jump. In addition, it looks like N/K have established such a huge lead, for some reason, over B/C that B/C could not even catch a glimpse of N/K at all, since like, what, the bungee jump? (It has been largely confirmed that the order of the bungee jump is N/K, J/T and B/C, yes?)
I must say though, the iPad memory task is really throwing me off. However, I highly doubt that teams have to find and bring an iPad for that task. Why would the producers allow them to be able to guess their position from the number of iPads already present when they began on the task? Second, it seems quite risky and highly inconvenient for teams to be running around with a rather fragile yet important tool...
