Maybe they have to figure out where does U-turn appear on the race and point out the location on the globe? (I think the round-shaped thing is a globe) This may not be easy since we have seen before that teams do not have good memory as we are.

that's what i went to bed last night thinking :lol:
I just think that the will be a "special" last task like there has been since season 8 where only one team member can participate (road block - i know)
and I think that the u turn is part of it.
Christina is saying please help
and Nick is saying I can't figure this out for 1million dollars

Hm...I actually found it online while looking on Google. It's a 360 view of Port of Anchorage, with a view of the Anchorage skyline in behind, I'm supposing.

We have some inconsistencies hereabouts:
Some have said that scenes of teams running along path and then three team members standing and watching Chris, Rachel and Nick doing the final Roadblock are on the way to the finish line after the last task.
But look at Rachel in the jet boat ride she is wearing a green windbreaker; when she is doing the "final roadblock" task she is also wearing the green windbreaker; BUT when she is running to that site she is wearing just a gray tee shirt and is carrying nothing. So something is out of sequence.
Also Chris in the running shot is wearing her blue shirt; in the "final roadblock" task she is wearing the brown sweater she is wearing during the ice climb and fish gutting by Ron. So again we are out of sequence since we see no sweater around her waist as she runs and does not have a back pack.
So the shots of Chris, Rachel and Nick doing the ROADBLOCK task calling for identifying different events during the trip must come before the teams running on the path.
Unless, of course, we have events over two days.

We know that now with the new video Gman, we were guessing a possable scenario with lack of something to do. The U-Turn must be part of what looks like the last Roadblock, but what exactly they are doing remains to be seen, I agree its probably a memory thing before the sprint to the final mat.

I think we may be on to something here regarding this Roadblock......
The large round disk like things may very well be maps showing the location of where each leg took place, i.e., Amsterdam, Florence, Italy, Burkina-Faso, etc.It was also pointed out that there is a U-turn and cluebox under one of those large round maps and of course we see Christina standing at a U-Turn as well.
My guess is that the person doing the Roadblock must go to each large round map and perhaps somewhere on the wall or on a piece of paper put down the order of tasks performed on that leg. Further they if there was a speed bump or U-Turn or FF they would also have to indicate if it was used/performed. There may be more to it but I think we have a majory memory task here.
For instance in Leg 8 in Mumbai, India
Speed Bump: Kynt & Vixen
Detour: Paste 'Em and Thread 'Em.
U-Turn: used by Kynt & Vixen on Nick & Don
Roadblock: Deliver propane gas canisters
Only after they put each leg in the correct order will they get the final clue to run to the final mat.
so that picture of the Christina doesn't mean there is an actual U-turn but rather she is trying to recall the order of tasks on a previous leg.
