Promo 6:

I adore these ladies already!!

[Coutzy]

Fwiw, The ladies are rapelling down light tower number 4 at the MCG.

[georgiapeach]

Translate MCG please.

[Coutzy]

Melbourne Cricket Ground. The starting line.

[georgiapeach]

OH, I hadn't been introduced properly.

[Glamazon Racer]

I saw Ann-Marie & Tracy's ad on TV last night.

I willl be watching Desperate Housewives later tonight, so if there are any new promos that we haven't yet seen, I will let you guys know.

[tarflyonthewall]

No Philippines. Green and gold flags are in the background of all the other Vietnam clips, and also of the shot of Anne-Marie and Tracy at the ox task. I'd say they're in Vung Tau, where the ox-leading task happened in TAR Israel.

ETA: Which clip is the archery in?

[the_insider]

And apparently a new promo of Alana and Mel are out showing them reading a clue, sending them to Cape Town, South Africa which means David and Kelly - our Married Bikers - really must be the first team Eliminated from the race based on sightings and promo videos...

Here is that video confirming mel/alana not eliminated, but bikers not eliminated either

[BayBay]

So Vietnam leg is Ho Chi Minh City (for '30 minutes') and then straight to Hue, it seems!

[georgiapeach]

Let's all be very very careful about speculating any eliminations from these videos. As we all know, NOT SEEN does NOT mean eliminated.

Also we don't even have the route 100% so be cautious, okay??

[georgiapeach]

But WOW! It is a feast of info! Here are the Clue Opening caps! I looked for good backgrounds and watches too. 

I think if someone has time to add to each one the cap#/the team name/the location (and whether spec or sure)/and the VOICEOVER about where they are going that it will help us enormously. I'll give you the thumbnails caps links to use.

Do we know where the host is in the last caps?

What are the bikers saying in Cap 20?
 

[Kiwi Jay]

What are the bikers saying in Cap 20?
 

I think they say Toolamba, but that is a small town in Victoria about 2 hours away from Melbourne, so I have no idea why!!!

They say, "Fly to Lombok" meaning our first destination Lombok (Bali), Indonesia

[Kiwi Jay]

Ah, there we go! Now were on track! So 9 teams make South Africa...

[ovalorange]

Peach, here is what I think is going on in each cap. It's listed by team/location/sound. Anything with a question mark is unknown or I'm not sure of. Note the "rip sound" refers to the "rip" sound made as the clue is being opened.

That's what I wanted!!

Just quote my post with the thumbnails, you will see the code, the NUMBER refers to the code in front of it.  Copy/paste!!
If you run into probs, PM me and I will do it later.

This will help a LOT!!!

Ok another evidence that there is a start line task (and MAYBE an elimination - this is pure spec!!) the fly to lombok clue is not being read in the MCG it is near the rappelling/climbing task stuff/

maybe there was a start line elim and then non-elim at the end of leg 1 - tar 15 style?

There seems to be a starting line task, but I don't think there is room for an elimination there. We saw there were only 11 teams in November with the photo of teams in the MCG and we have evidence of everyone at least making it to Indonesia. I don't think it's physically possible. There possibly could be a team that got some kind of penalty though, like the automatic U-turn in TAR18. There's really no way we will know until we see a media release with something on it or until the show airs.

I agree it is doubtful it is an elimination. One thing against there being some penalty associated with a start line rappelling task is that I would expect that not all teams could do this task simultaneously (there would be a limited number of saftey personnel/ropes etc), and given its a pretty short distance between the middle of the MCG and the tower, basically the slowest runners would be last to complete the task as they would be last to attempt it. Perhaps its a fast forward and only some are attempting it?

Hey guys!

About 5-10 minutes ago, about halfway through Deal or No Deal, there was yet another promo, and this one focussed primarily on Chris & Anastasia, the dating couple. The promo shows them bickering, as well as them doing one task, in which Chris is pouring a bucketful of some red fluid into a funnel-shaped object. Chris says something along the lines of, "They don't make women like they used to." Then Grant does his usual "11 unforgetable Aussie teams" routine.

[Heather7]

Trying to load pics - but I think Grant (in Cap #69) is standing on the wall of the the archeological site of Masada near the Dead Sea in Israel. Will try to load pics now

[Heather7]

This is the sea located near the site - and is also VERY similar to the one behind Grant




This is a pic of the wall at the site - again similar to the one he looks to be standing on

[georgiapeach]

Good eye Heather! Thumbnail>>click-click






Of course...Masada is a dirty word here. The first person who posts a pic of a certain cluebox inside Masada gets banned for a week of Sundays.
