Top picture, the guy in the cap looks like Art, so Art and JJ are still in it, yessss.
Don't know if that can be a positive id. All you can see is the cap, no face. (Whether Art or Chris.)

In the group picture of the eight teams at the Siem Reap airport -- Chris is wearing that shirt and hat.

Yep.  Sorry, Rummel1, but Art & J.J. are almost definitely out of it.

What could've prevented them from having a backup leg in Cambodia if they knew about the HCMC protests in advance?

Production can be very nimble with last minute changes. The Hungary leg(s) in TAR 6, the Rio leg in TAR 2, and the Phuket leg that reportedly replaced the planned Laos leg(s) in TAR 19, are just three examples. The first two are more pertinent here though, and tasks can be relocated to other areas of the city.

Well, according to a gal that took the video of Rachel and Elissa boarding a train, she said one of teams said they were going to look for a clue in HCMC and they were trying to exchange their US $$$ to Dong. She also said there was a TAR producer outside when the informant was hailing a cab.  So I think they fully intended to stay in HCMC.  But I suppose they could have been told to either fly to somewhere else or take a train/cab to another city in Vietnam. Totally possible since we haven't seen the teams in a couple days!

At this point, I can't wait until they get to Europe :P

Because sightings tend to be easy as pie there.

Not really related but there was a 5.9M earthquake today in Osaka, Japan.

I wonder if producers purposely planned the first few legs in far off asia to throw off stalkers and spoilers :D. In Europe they'd have been swarmed. In far Asia there are fewer CBS reality fans to run out and look for the teams.

Actually, that's not true. TAR has aired on AXN in much of Asia throughout its run, there are/have been various regional versions for at least a decade (check Wikipedia), and some of the most spoiled legs have been in Asia over that time.

It is too early to get Europe leg. But the race completes four legs, with eight to go. I wonder that it could have a 5-continent race.

there's an Instagram picture of Nic/Vic and Colin/Christy in Ho Chi Minh.  I don't know how to pull it in, but the user name is mish_hay

Is this it?

They either just did something with water or are just very sweaty.  I think sweaty but at the same time they seem relaxed, so possible had  just finished checking in at the mat.

Judging the time, I think there are 2 legs in HCMC

They do look pretty relaxed and posed for it to be in the middle of the leg - but who knows! Nicole is holding a clue

She said it was just today (Monday, Vietnam time), so I think within the last hour, she must have posted it immediately.

She seems like a pretty active user and would probably give us more info if someone asked her which one of you all might have already  (I would but about to hope on a plane myself soon :) )

My guess - it's a start of a new leg and clue tells to go to airport so racers aren't in a rush. Colin/Christie and Vic/Nicole could finish last leg at the same time so they started with 1 min difference and bumped into this girl. Will see if she replies to Peach.

My guess is similar to yours but opposite in some ways maybe it was a foot race first and Team Ox (Colin and Christy) or Vic  and nic came in first and started one minute away from each other
