I was thinking about the pokers being a memory challenge and glad there are people who think alike as well.
Starting line:
1000 license plates involved
Leg 1:
They had to eat 2 wasabi bombs
Tour guide 20 japanese tourists to the pitstop
Leg 2:
Herd 150 ducks for the Roadblock
Leg 3:
Don't remember any numbers involved
Leg 4:
Find stalls 980 and 981 for part of the scarf Detour
Leg 5:
Collect clue on the 120th floor of Burj Dubai
Leg 6:
The Gold Detour require teams to weigh out US$500,000 worth of gold
Leg 7:
62 bells for the Roadblock
Play 3 holes of farmer's golf, within par of 8 strokes each?!?!
Leg 8:
Search through 186 haybales
Leg 9:
Score 5 points for volleyball?!?!
Leg 10:
None?
Leg 11:
Carry 30 glasses of beer for Lager detour
I think this could be a TAR 3 memory challenge, where the animals need not appear for every leg. In this case... the numbers they have to remember need not be from every leg as well.
TAR 3 ROADBLOCK -
Roadblock: Totem pole with animal faces. The person doing the Roadblock needed to spin the faces in the same chronological order they appeared in the race (which was donkey, dolphin, horse, goat and manatee)
Some of the more possible ones..
1000 license plates involved
Tour guide 20 japanese tourists to the pitstop
Herd 150 ducks for the Roadblock
Collect clue on the 120th floor of Burj Dubai
The Gold Detour require teams to weigh out US$500,000 worth of gold
62 bells for the Roadblock
Search through 186 haybales
Carry 30 glasses of beer for Lager detour
This is COMPLETELY SPECULATION. But is it just me or this season has many numbers involved? Hmmm...
