The sumo photo task was much closer to Umeda.

I bet that World Race Productions knows how to measure not distances but times to get to each DETOUR and they equalize them with the presumed length of the task so that one DETOUR is not supposed to be easier than the other. Despite their best efforts, that is not always been the case; the best example is Art/JJ doing the DETOUR in the Kochi area sifting garlic, packing boxes and delivering them.

There was nothing wrong with the detour, it was Art & JJ's karma...
georgiapeach:
That's a great find Slowhatch, thanks!
Jobby:
Just watched the finale. Pretty meh finale. Only excitement was Dave and Rachel's stumbling upon finishing line by mistake.. and still win.
Art and JJ, just simply bad karma. Trash talking, creating conflicts and completely being huge asses throughout the race. If they had won, it would have been one of the WORST SEASONS EVER.
Thank goodness they didn't. :ghug:
