--- Quote from: FLFan on December 10, 2010, 09:40:24 AM ---That actually makes some sense and possibly(?) clears up a detail that I noticed earlier. This references the promo shown during Survivor on Wednesday. When they are showing N/K and J/T racing toward what appears to be the entrance area to the finish line (Greystone Mansion), they are passing a circular, covered drop-off and pickup area (similar to what you would find outside a hotel). The shots they use for both N/K and J/T are from the same general angle. Comparing the two views, there are differences in the # of people, # cars and positions of MOST people in that drop-off area. HOWEVER, in both shots the same gentleman is seated reading a book. Now, if N/K had such a commanding lead, why is the gentleman in both shots? Yes, I understand sitting in the same area for an extended area of time just reading, I have done it on many occasions - just usually not outside during mid-summer unless in the shade in shorts. N/K having trouble with their taxi cab driver and losing time trying to find the finish line could explain this.
The only speculation I could make between the 2 shots, is that in the N/K view (if I remember right), there are 3 cars in the drop off area. The third car seems to possibly be a black town-car. In the J/T shot, there is only one car, possibly the same black town-car?, with what maybe a chauffeur standing near it’s front. This, as someone mentioned, may be colored by the fact that I favor N/K.
In the B/C shot, they don’t use exactly the same angle so the drop-off area is not shown.
Note: the racers aren't using this drop-off area, so taxi's may have their own.

Sorry.. I have a nice setup HD TV & HD DVR that allows me to step through the frames. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment to dump it and share. As I mentioned before, this promo is during approximately the first 15 minutes of Wednesday's Survivor. Hopefully someone still has Survivor on their DVR that has the equipment to allow them share.

3. About the 'dramatic game changing express pass' what if Jill and Thomas missed something that will be in the final memory task, because they skipped the detour. Other than J/T ending up winning (which is unlikely) there's is not much else that the express pass could 'dramatically' change.
Reply back about my specs!! Thanks :)
Good luck B/C and N/K, although I would SLIGHTLY prefer a B/C win :cmas9

If that's the case, Nat and Kat missed something, a whole leg, using that Fast Forward. Any questions there might be about that leg, except which team was eliminated, could be lost on them.

I think FLFan is referring to this scene (Photo 11 from Post #322).
This was determined to be in Hong Kong, though, wasn't it? (Turns out it is Seoul.)

I think the scene in question is the one I copied above. It's not from LA.
