There still seems to be one burning question remaining to be answered:
Do the teams perform one more last task in New York before the arrival at the mat - either a DETOUR which we haven't had in this ep, or a ROADBLOCK - which has been the case in the last two TARs?

'Amazing Race' to finish in Garrison

GARRISON - In addition to identifying the winning duo in "The Amazing Race," fans of the reality show might be surprised to recognize a Putnam County children's center in tonight's finale.
St. Basil Academy on Route 9D is the site of the finish line for Amazing Race 10, which airs at 8 p.m. on CBS, according to a network spokeswoman.
The 12 teams traveled more than 40,000 miles in 30 days, starting from Seattle. They went to four continents and 13 countries, hitting such exotic locations as Kuwait, Beijing and Madagascar.
Who, but the producers, knew they would deem Garrison, the Philipstown hamlet that is home to Gov. George Pataki, as a fitting end point?
The show follows competing teams as they travel the world based on sets of clues. The last team to reach each succeeding destination is eliminated, and the winning team to the last destination gets $1 million.
The Paolo family of Carmel participated in the series' ninth race. They were the sixth group to be eliminated, but did have a chance to bungee jump over the Panama Canal and lift 14,000 pounds of bananas in Costa Rica.
St. Basil Academy has been known in the community as a place to go to enjoy a cool swim in the center's large pool. It was also the subject of a protracted legal battle with the Garrison school district.
The 62-year-old academy last month got a state license to run a residential facility and have its 30 children attend Garrison schools. The children there used to be educated on site. The closing of the school prompted the fight with Garrison, which feared escalating costs from absorbing the new students.
"The Amazing Race" is planning its 11th contest in the spring as an all-star edition, producers said

Sups! I think this guy was dipping into your eggnog :rotf: !!
Fight to the finish
Tonight’s shenanigans include a trip to Alaska with the racers forced to drive a team of sled-dogs. Then the participants have to dive into some frigid Alaskan waters to collect a clue, which sends them back to New York City.
The finish line is in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. We seem to recall an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer imagines Flushing Meadows as a land filled with toilets.
We doubt it’s actually like that. But still, after trips to places like Spain, Morocco and China, shouldn’t this extravaganza be winding up in a more exotic locale than Flushing Meadows? Was Hoboken booked?

Well, that certainly answers the question of what they do after arriving in JFK and before they jump on the mat :jumpy: I think the author had one too many :jam: :jam:
