And the bags are in place :D

Yes! All the pieces are finally falling into place...
That yellow thing is either cardboard or a mat/rug; it's been there all evening even before the crew started arriving.
Just like the original season at the fountain; teams ran up the steps got their bags and clues, and headed out to use subways or taxis.

Could this be a team?

I don't think teams racing would be waiting on the sidelines randomly like that. But you never know in a season like this!
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

Guys, should I remind you that we have a topic for the pics from the Starting Line?  ;)

Or they follow Neobie's suggestion!

I highly doubt they would have the teams just standing there. :P

How many teams are there? I counted nine pairs of backpacks in the picture (a tenth pair may have been covered up by the people on the right, and more could be off-camera).

Is it me or does it seem as there's only 10 pairs of bags? Hard to tell because parts of each pic are cut off.

You see, if I was in Times Square right now, I would know for sure!

Bert and Elise are obviously loving this and I'll bet they're wondering why they hadn't done this before,

You realize it is the first time ever that people have been invited to watch a task of TAR being filmed inside the US.

So many cars driving by at 2am, gosh is New York always like this.
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

New York isn't called the city that never sleeps for nothing!

There's cars driving 24/7, and our subway runs 24/7 too!

EDIT: I just heard the crowd cheer in the livecams.

Phil is doing his intro speach... and the crowd is cheering  :conf: :conf:

I was hoping to see more people there but I guess is really late for everyone to just show up

Some said about a twist this season.
