Poor Wrestlers with that cliffhanger... :cmaslol

It's a good thing this is an F4 finale, because it is so common to have F3 finale with one team getting bad luck (such as bad cab). It's what making this finale good so far. :cmas9 :cmas23 :cmas52

Surfers 1st in taxi. Dentists get the clue in 2nd. They get into the taxi and they say they're about 10 mins behind surfers. Scientists 3rd to get into taxi.

Wrestlers finally at first roadblock and someone jumped out. Not really sure who it was. Commercial.

They were watching someone demonstrate, I guess.

Also, Phil popped out from the left & started walking towards them. Commercial.

I saw it too.  I think we can guess who's going right to the mat to cheer for all the others -- all because they got super lost on the way to City Hall!

Yikes, so a TAR10-style elimination for Brooke & Robbie...
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

I thought it would be Phil jumping out of the fake glass... I was sure the elimination would be in the dock because there were only 3 boats... oh well...

again Amy&Maya switching positions, 1st to 2nd to 3rd now... still surprising

I realized in this segment... Misti is carrying a handbag! WHY?!

I almost TORE UP inside during Brooke & Robbie's elimination. As soon as Phil showed up, I had a sick feeling in the gut because I kinda knew what was going to happen.

Oh, and...I think I've seen these challenges before in previous seasons, memorizing the countries the Racers visited/elimination order/etc...

And we're back with wrestlers watching someone jump out... And Phil walks towards them... And they think it's bad news... Phil tells them that they've been eliminated. :torche :torche :torche Robbie says he wishes he could have jumped out of the window but Phil says they missed the call time... :torche :torche :torche Poor Brooke & Robbie. :cmas4 They literally got to do nothing this leg. Robbie says that we might hate them or love them but we're never going to forget them. <333333

Surfers first to the containers. Roadblock: Who can contain themselves? Other person must do the roadblock. There are more than 15000 shipping containers and this roadblock requires teams to find 9 specific containers representing 9 cities. Each container has a colour-coded number associated with it and you have to get the correct order of cities visited. Once you get the correct combination of numbers, they will get their next clue. THIS IS WOW.

Dentists and scientists arrive.

Instructions say you're not allowed to take notes! You have to memorize the colour or number that goes with it... and then you have to organize the cities by number? Woah what is happening. Seems like each team has to memorize a different colour because there are 3 different numbers with different colours.

Bethany, Misti and Amy finding different containers. This is tough wow.

Bethany is singing a song to memorize the cities and numbers.

Jim asks how long they've been there for... "4 or 5 hours?" WHAT THE HECK? This is crazy. Commercial.

Very tough roadblock, definitely one of the tougher final memory challenges in TAR's history. :cmas18

4-5 hours???!?!? Isn't that even longer than the Greeting challenge (I think that one was like 2-3 hours? Can't quite remember...)

that editing with the numbers going through the middle & split screen - loved that sequence.

But OMG ... so intense

Scientists and Dentists have the advantage. They are good at memorizing.

Better explanation of the task:

Teams have to find shipping containers with the cities they travelled to. Each container will have the name of the city with 3 different numbers associated with a different colour. Each team has to remember the number with the colour that they were assigned. Then after they find all the shipping containers and memorize their numbers, it sounds like they have to put the cities in order based off of the number that it was linked to they have to write the numbers in the order of city visited.

Really cool Final Roadblock... sounds impossible to memorize but still cool

OMG WE HAD A CLUE ABOUT THE MEMORIZATION challenge before! I'm pretty sure we've seen Misti struggle with memorization, in a restaurant early in the season! Were they foreshadowing this challenge?

That memory task was amazingly DIFFICULT! All-star worthy to be honest, I wasn't expecting a memory task anymore since the last time there was a memorable one was in TAR21. :cmaslol

That memory task is difficult! I love the addition and return of the 2-roadblock twist. :cmaslol I just love the memory task. :cmaslol :cmas52 :cmas23 :cmas9 :cmas20

She did fine with memorization. She just didn't read the clue correctly - she was stating the meals but forgot to say the numbers as well.

Agreed.  I'm great with memory, but this would probably be tough for me.  Or maybe not, since my math skills are at a tenth-grade level which isn't much compared to my reading & writing skills (which are college level) but which may still be nothing to sneeze at.

And certainly the Scientists would be great with memory.  So would Jim, but Misti might struggle with it.

This is not quite as difficult as, "Hello/Goodbye," from 21 but the whole running around the container yard whilst trying to remember numbers associated with the cities would certainly be difficult

Amy is the first one to try to attempt the code... WOW AMY GOT IT CORRECT.

Okay you had to put the code in order of the cities you visited. There we go. :cmaslol

Bethany attempting her code and Misti is trying not to listen to Bethany lol.

Amy & Maya first to get the clue to the pit stop!!! OMG. Pit stop: Point Vincent Lighthouse. Omg their taxi driver doesn't know where it is.

Bethany mixed up TWO NUMBERS. Omg. Brutal. Misti mixed up 2 numbers as well! Yikes. Bethany getting another check... 3 numbers incorrect. Misti getting another check and it's correct!
