So, the Roadblock comes first?  ???

Yeah, Heritage Village is likely a match with our pit stop picture..

I speculate this is our regular NEL, there's no way Leo and Jamal didn't change their clothes 'til leg 9 unless they lost it..

Oh yes, you're right Neobie, it might be from Indonesia.. It's probably Wisma Kerkhoven inside Bosscha Observatory complex.

Leo & Jamal do not have much clothes to change. On the ferry from Norway to Polan, they have already left most of their belongings and only keep very small bags.

something i was thinking of.. could the ice girls/bunnies get so far behind that they had to show us 2 weeks and have that special instance where some teams start next leg while the last place team still has yet to finish?

In fact we already had this situation once this season. Chester & Ephraim landed in Lisbon, during their leg #3, after the first two teams had already started leg #4.

Thanks Lutpayy! Now we need to place the Jason/Amy shot. Here it is again:


Looking at clothing, it doesn't match anything we have her in in the upcoming legs...

In the Abu Dhabi leg she has long sleeves:
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2023%20promos/Ep%207/PREVIEW/23-7-preview-caps0360.jpg

No picture of her in al-Ain just yet.

In Bandung I she doesn't have her hair done up:

In Bandung II she's back to long sleeves, albeit it's at the top of a volcano, so it might be colder:

Vegetation-wise it doesn't look like the Middle East to me. Water's at a premium, and any place that's paying to have a pond/river in it probably would have manicured lawns, not the unkempt grass we see. It does remind me of Indonesia a lot more than it does the UAE.

One more thing: Amy's make-up is perfectly intact. It looks like a confessional before the start of a day (any mid-leg bunch-points in Indonesia?), or could it possibly be pre-race?

Somehow it looks like Japan for me but in Japan, I think Amy wears different shirt, too.

We haven't got it yet.. Neobie's speculation it could be Emirates Palace or Heritage Village. Our suspected pit stop picture turned out to be Bandung leg.

^ Could this picture be in Vienna? Maybe somewhere in the gardens of Schonnbrunn for the pit start?

I am with you all, this could easily be somewhere around the back of the Neptune Fountain:






And re the outfit...her tank top is color coordinated to go with the long sleeve top we see her in in Abu Dhabi....

Here are Jason and Amy at the Pit Stop mat at Schoenbrunn Palace.



Unknown location of Jason and Amy



Obviously different attire in the two photos. But it is certainly possible that Jason and Amy could have changed quickly between the mat and the apparent confessional. That would only involve Jason changing shirts and possible Amy removing her T-shirt. The one thing that tends to make me think the unknown location is not in Austria is the difference in Amy's hair/make-up. The unknown location photo, to me, just screams of a pre-leg confessional/interview. Maybe it is in Vienna, Before heading to Abu Dhabi? The masonry in the upper left is interesting.

So you don't think that it is the pitstart of the next leg, as they leave Vienna, as we were discussing?

I also think the photo of Jason/Amy is at pit start in Vienna, it doesn't seem like taken in UAE since I think they need to wear shirt with sleeves there

I am not sure how to move a cap to another post  but if you go to the one where Amy is working on the fishing trap, her hair looks like it is up in the top knot.  So I too would believe that shot of her and Jason are at the beginning of the leg in Vienna.

Mystery solved! (And good job, guys!) It's the Stadtpark (next to the Pit Stop hotel: Hilton, of course) in Vienna.
