Some final leg or 11th leg...i just can't remember what and when
--- End quote ---
That would probably be the legs where the last team received zero dollars - the old non-elimination penalty.
--- End quote ---
Hooky,
The NELs would not count under my definition of "received 0 dollars." Only the last team from the prior leg of NEL would get 0 dollars starting the following leg. All other teams got a normal amount.

Amazing Race Season 22, Episode 3, "Like James Bond again"
Film date: Nov 16-19 2012
This episode starts with Dave, the father in the Dave & Connor team, getting his foot examined by a local doctor on Bora Bora. The verdict is that he needs a Sonogram from a doctor in Papeete. In the meantime he is given crutches.
"It's not over until it's over. We're not quitters and we're not gonna quit", Dave is determined to try to continue
The last pit stop was on Moto Tapu. And according to interviews teams spent the night there. But the next morning teams are again released from the Hilton Bora Bora in the following order:
1.Bates & Anthony 08:54 2.Dave & Connor 08:55(+0:01) 3.Jessica & John 08:56(+0:02) 4.Joey & Meghan 09:00(+0:06) 5.Chuck & Wynona 09:01(+0:07) 6.Mona & Beth 09:06(+0:12) 7.Caroline & Jennifer10:49(+1:55) 8.Max & Katie 11:08(+2:14) 9.Pam & Winnie 11:48(+2:54)
Route info: "Make your way to Phil's home town Christchurch, New Zealand". Once teams arrive they must self drive to Rakaia River Gorge. This long trip starts with a taxi-boat ride to the Bora Bora airport. Here teams end up on different flights to Papeete.
At this time we learn that John will honor his word and give the second express pass to Dave & Connor. He feels they won't be as competitive since Dave is injured and ultimately John wants to beat the hockey players.
"Furthest place we've been out of the country is probably Niagara Falls", Wynona
"Shall I slow these guys down?", John tries to distract the hockey brothers to make them miss the flight
"They're definitely the shadiest team in this whole thing", but the hockey players see right through him
"Now is the time to hand over the express pass then", John learns that Dave will need to see a doctor in Papeete
"No one is going to be kissing their asses any more", Bates see the express pass handover
"Today we're gonna strategize and think before we act", Winnie has a new strategy
Flight 1 is
VT420 BOB-PPT Nov-16 09:40-10:30
and carries
Bates & Anthony
Jessica & John
Flight 2 is
VT268 BOB-PPT Nov-16 11:00-11:50
and carries
Chuck & Wynona
Mona & Beth
Max & Katie
Dave & Connor
Joey & Meghan
Caroline & Jennifer
Flight 3 is
VT442 BOB-PPT Nov-16 17:55-18:45
and carries
Pam & Winnie
In Papeete teams rush to the check-in area for international flights. Only to find it closed and deserted. The next flight out is not until the next morning.
"We've got some time to kill", The hockey players learn that the next flight is in 22 hours
"Play some cards?", John and Jessica are with them
"We could've played for the express pass, but it's gone", John, who knows that Bates does know
As the flight is not until the next morning Dave has plenty of time to see a doctor. He learns that his Achilles tendon and the muscle are both torn. They get a plastic cast for his foot and he has already received a pair of crutches. He gets a round of applause from the other teams when they get back to the airport.
At the airport John & Jessica try to build alliances. They see the hockey players as their biggest threat and want alliances to share information regarding travel.
"This is so ghetto fabulous what we're doing", Caroline & Jennifer fetch cardboard to sleep on for themselves and Bates & Anthony
The next morning all teams get tickets on the flight to Auckland:
TN101 PPT-AKL Nov-17 08:05-15:25 (landed 2:30 late)
In Auckland there is a mad dash to the ticketing counter for the next flight to Christchurch. Fortunately for teams there are plenty of flights even though many are fairly full. The only ones struggling are Chuck & Wynona who doesn't seem to understand where to go in the airport, so they end up on the last flight.
"So, where is everybody at", Chuck wonders where the other teams (who have already left) are
"Uh oh, I think we're screwed", A short while later he realizes they are the only ones left
Flight 1:
NZ547 AKL-CHC Nov-18 17:06-18:30

Caroline & Jennifer
Flight 4:
NZ553 AKL-CHC Nov-18 19:38-21:04
Carries:
Chuck & Wynona
In Christchurch teams find their cars and start driving towards the Rakaia river gorge (80km 1:01). Once they arrive at the Discovery Jet boat tours they have to pull a number for the jet boat tours starting the next day at 06:00.
"This alliance with the boys is actually really helpful because we really like them, we just feel comfortable and safe with them", Jennifer likes the hockey players
"Don't they say there's more sheep in New Zealand than there is people?", Connor sees lots of sheep
"It'd be great to get some fresh lamb for dinner", Dave takes the practical approach
"Lord of the rings style", Joey gets his first glimpse of the gorge
Teams end up with the following numbers:
1. Dave & Connor
2. Jessica & John
3. Joey & Meghan
4. Max & Katie
5. Pam & Winnie, got lost on the way
6. Mona & Beth
7. Caroline & Jennifer, missed the numbers first but in the end snatched it just before the next team
8. Bates & Anthony
9. Chuck & Wynona
Teams will spend the night camping next to the sign. There are tents pitched and wood for a nice fire. The next morning Connor says they will do all they can to win this leg, including using the express pass, since they do not know how much longer they will be able to stay in the race.
Teams get to drive the jet boat themselves, with a 'real' driver behind. The boats seem to depart within a few minutes of each other.
"Those things are rocket ships on the water. It was a blast", Dave liked driving the boat
"We're like James Bond again", Meghan gets the title
In the mixed teams we have the men driving the boats, except for Max & Katie where Katie takes control.
Further up the gorge teams encounter a clue box. Next to it is a bunch of ATVs and some helmets. Teams get their clue here in the same order as they left with their boats.
Detour: Rev it up or reel it in.
Teams must start by driving themselves to the detour on the ATV.
In rev it up teams must drive a modified vintage car. Both team members must drive slalom out and back through a set of cones. Their combined time must be under 83 seconds.
In reel it in each team member must use a rod and reel to catch one fish which is at least 12 inches long. This is in a catch and release pond so there is plenty of fish in the water.
Dave & Connor initially went to 'rev it up', but when they realized the cars had manual transmissions they switched since Dave can't use the clutch at the moment.
"Second gear just sucks", John hasn't yet realized that the parking brake is still on
"Those fish are pretty dangerous. They might jump up and get you", The judge comments on the fact that Dave keeps his helmet on
"Chuck's a really good fisherman and I go on the boat a lot. I watch him fish so I'm not like a complete idiot to this", Wynona
"I quickly realized that changing gears is hard, so we just kept it in one", Caroline
"Laughable", Max on his performance
"That was disgusting", Wynona tosses her, approved, fish back in the water
Teams complete the detour in the following order
1(+0) Dave & Connor, wanted to drive but changed to fish, here they did a quick attempt before using the Express pass
2(+0) Jessica & John, drive, times: 84, 78
3(+0) Joey & Meghan, drive, times: 92, 82
4(+2) Mona & Beth, drive, time: 81
5(+3) Bates & Anthony, drive, times: ?, ?, 80
6(-2) Max & Katie, drive, times: 108, ?, 90, ?, ?, 83
7(-2) Pam & Winnie, drive, times: ?, ?, ?, ?, 80
8(+1) Chuck & Wynona, fish
9(-2) Caroline & Jennifer, drive, times: 108, ?, ?, 82
--- Quote ---ROUTE INFO
Drive yourselves to
Mount Hutt Station and
search for your next
clue.
--- End quote ---
Teams must first ride their ATV back to the boat and then the boat back to where their cars are parked. Then they must drive themselves to Mt. Hutt Station (4.9km 0:04). The next clue box stands by the station entrance.
"Hahahah, I hate when I do that", John just entered the left front seat of the car, but the wheel is on the right
Some teams have a hard time finding Mt Hutt Station. Two off them go all the way up on a very foggy Mt Hutt, which is not the right place.
"Katie and I like to be in control. I'm a warm blooded Italian, she's a cold German and thinks she knows everything", Max
"It's creepy up here, we might run into an orch", Bates in the fog on Mt Hutt
Teams reach the clue here in the following order:
1(+0) Dave & Connor
2(+0) Jessica & John, arrive as #1 leave the task
3(+4) Pam & Winnie
4(+4) Chuck & Wynona
5(+4) Caroline & Jennifer
6(-3) Joey & Meghan
7(-3) Mona & Beth
8(-3) Bates & Anthony
9(-3) Max & Katie
--- Quote ---ROAD BLOCK
Who wants to keep their
Race from going to the
dogs?
--- End quote ---
In this road block teams must take part in a Shemozzle race. They must dress up in gumboots and shorts as well as a burlap sack. They must then run an obstacle course, together with a sheep dog, where they will be covered in molasses and chicken feathers. The course ends with a big slip-n-slide into a pool. Along the way they must collect chicken eggs. They are done when they have delivered 12 unbroken eggs to the finish line. All teams seem to require three runs through the course to get 12 eggs.
The task seems to take 20 minutes or more.
"The first obstacle was the box. It was disgusting", Connor
"Jen, you are just leaving Beverly Hills behind today", Caroline refers to the fact the Jennifer, who is less than glamorous at the moment, grew up in Beverly Hills
Teams complete this roadblock in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)
1(+0)Dave & Connor* (1-3)At 08:522(+0)Jessica & John* (2-2)3(+0)Pam & Winnie* (2-2)4(+1)Caroline & Jennifer*(2-2)?Chuck* & Wynona (3-1)?Joey & Meghan* (2-2)?Mona* & Beth (2-2)?Bates & Anthony* (1-3)?Max & Katie* (2-2)

Most teams end up in a travel agency. But Max & Katie ask some people staying at the hotel by the Pit Stop and arrange tickets over the phone. Pam & Winnie use the computer in a Luggage shop to book tickets.

Caroline & Jennifer provide some entertainment for their taxi driver by singing in the car.
In part the clue they were given at the starting line reads: "... sacred Monkey Forest Ubud. Once there choose a coconut and give it to a monkey, who will then show you your next clue". The next clue lies within a small metal container in the coconut. Teams must give the coconut to a monkey who will open it in order to eat it. A handler will then retrieve the clue and give it to the team.
"It's actually more difficult than it looks because there are so many tourists around distracting and scaring away the monkeys", Pam
"Scratching his butt and taking a drink, looks like me in the morning", Max feel kinship with the monkey
Teams manage to get a monkey to open their nuts in the following order:

--- Quote ---DETOUR
Detour: 'Sandy Bottom" or
'Fruity Top"
Sandy Bottom: Dredge the
volcanic sand used to make
bricks from the bottom of the
Ayung River. Then using
baskets, carry the sand in the
traditional manner to the brick
maker on Gang Bucu. When
you have delivered the required
amount of sand to the brick
maker, you will receive your next
clue.
Fruity Top: Prepare an
elaborate religious offering
knows as a "Gebogan". Then,
join a procession to Pura Desa
Puseh Temple. Once the Priest
has blessed your "Gebogan",
place it on the Panggung to
receive your next clue.
For both Detours: Hold on to
...
--- End quote ---
In Sandy bottom teams must carry the sand on their head about 200 yards up a steep path to the brick maker. Teams seems to have to make two trips to get the required amount of black sand.
The Gebogan is trickier to prepare than it looks. It is also fairly heavy so teams are impressed by the lady who carries it on her head in the procession to the temple.
"Attention to detail is going to be the key", Connor see what they have to make
"I design sets for a living", Pam actually have some relevant experience
"This is grunt work which we are good at", Mona finds a fitting detour
"Jess and I are pretty detail oriented, probably me more than she is, so this is right up our alley", John on his way to the detour
Jessica & John are dropped off at the wrong location. But the address seems right so they enter the house there and confuses the local a lot. They spend some time helping him build religious offerings before realizing they are in the wrong location.
"Jessica, all we have to do is build this", John has found the right place and think it looks easy
Bates & Anthony wanted to do the sand, but their taxi driver only knew where fruity top was so they did that one instead.
"It was awesome to see other teams", Bates & Anthony are glad to find others at the detour since they were alone at the monkeys
Jessica & John really struggle at the fruit detour. Their offering is not approved even after multiple attempts. They consider using the express pass, but decide to try the other side of the detour instead. When they arrive there they are the only ones there. They therefore assume Mona & Beth are behind them when in fact the moms have already completed the task.
"This is a dream came true compared to building that ridiculous offering", John start the sand carrying task
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1(+2) Pam & Winnie, fruit
2(-1) Dave & Connor, fruit
3(-1) Max & Katie, fruit
4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, fruit
5(+3) Joey & Meghan, fruit
6(+0) Mona & Beth, sand
7(-2) Chuck & Wynona, fruit
8(+1) Bates & Anthony, fruit
9(-2) Jessica & John, started fruit but switched to sand
--- Quote ---ROUTE INFO
Make your way to
Uluwatu Surf Beach on
the Bukit peninsula and
search for your next
clue.
--- End quote ---
The taxi ride to Uluwatu surf beach probably takes around 1.5 hours.
"This got to be the longest leg in the history of the race", Mona is tired after racing non-stop for 4 days
"Either way we're second to last place. I mean I guess we could be last place. But we're still feeling allright because we have an express pass", John is not worried in the taxi
Teams find the clue box at the Uluwatu Surf Beach in the following order:
1(+0) Pam & Winnie
2(+0) Dave & Connor
3(+0) Max & Katie
4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer
5(+2) Chuck & Wynona
6(-1) Joey & Meghan, were dropped off at the wrong beach first
7(-1) Mona & Beth
8(+0) Bates & Anthony
9(+0) Jessica & John
--- Quote ---ROAD BLOCK
Who's ready to get
totally tubular and be
worked in a way-gnarly
challenge?
--- End quote ---
In this road block teams must find a surf shop, which has a wonderful location on an outcropping by the water. Once there they must search the shop for a surfboard with an image they have all seen before. The clue doesn't tell then which image but it is the priest which blessed them on Bora Bora. Once they have chosen a board they need to find the pit stop and pick up their partner along the way. They must bring a correct board to check in. If not they have to run back to the surf shop and try again, and there are lots of stairs on the way.
Winnie recognizes the picture as soon as she sees it. But she has trouble locating the pit stop. She runs back to the surf shop to look from there and then Connor, who is struggling, sneaks a peek at her board. This even though she refused to let him look at her board unless he agreed to let the girls get first place.
"It's the priest that married me and Katie", Max also recognizes the picture
Caroline really struggles with this task. She makes multiple wrong guesses before she finally, by chance, picks the right board.
"Can I cry for a little", Caroline takes a crying break
"There's no crying on the Amazing race", Meanwhile in the taxi Mona accepts fate
"Chuck's lost, I saw his head", Wynona can only watch as Chuck has trouble finding his way
"Hey, Mona. It's this.", Joey shows Mona the right board at the pit stop (she had brought the wrong one)
At the pit stop Phil takes care so that teams do not accidentally see each others boards when they arrive close to each other.
"You didn't wanna tell them what board it was?", Phil to Mona & Beth as Chuck is leaving after having brought the wrong board
In the end only Chuck & Wynona and Jessica & John are working the task.
"Think we're the last two", Wynona to Jessica as they wait on their partners
"I'm so scared. We don't wanna be last. We have an Express Pass still", Jessica feels the gravity of the situation
"I feel so ill, like knowing that we could get eliminated right now", Jessica feels the pressure as she helplessly waits for John
"Oh, my god. So, we're last", Jessica see Chuck & Wynona check in in the distance
Even though they are last John keeps searching for the correct board, probably hoping for a non-elimination. After 1:15 he finally picks the correct board.
"I wanna look at these boards", John wants to look at the approved boards at the Pit Stop
"You're not allowed to look at those boards", but Phil stops him
"I'm just so bummed because we still have an express pass left that we never even got to utilize", Jessica
Teams complete this roadblock and find Phil in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)
1(+1)Dave & Connor* (1-4)Win $5000 each2(-1)Pam & Winnie* (2-3)3(+0)Max* & Katie (3-2)4(+0)Caroline* & Jennifer(3-2)5(+1)Joey* & Meghan (3-2)6(+0)Mona* & Beth (3-2)7(+1)Bates* & Anthony (2-3)8(-3)Chuck* & Wynona (4-1)9(+0)Jessica & John* (2-3)Are eliminated
"There's absolutely zero regrets", John
