EP11: 12/7 "You Look Like Peter Pan"
apskip:
The "memory tests" from past Amazing Races (the two most prominent were AR8 and AR9 in my opinion) typically take a long time. These tests tuypically are the decisive task in finales.
One hour for this list of tasks not including a Roadblock is quite insufficient compared to what I expect the total should be.
I think the edge has to go to Nick/Starr on a memory test(which is usually a Roadblock). They are preparing for the finale by rereading their diary of the entire AR13. Andrew/Dan are smart but they don't appear to have good memories. I have no idea how good Ken/Tina will be. She seems like the better of their team to do this.

Nothing in the previews seems to indicate they really went there. The shots in the woods, the bridge, etc. are all in the Gorge.

I agree with Enrico V. I have no reason to believe that finalists went to Newberg. It was probably a decoy team that was sent there. Newberg is just too far from Casade Locks and even from downtown Portland. There would be little reason for finalists to go there.

Then I must be hearing things because I swear I hear Andrew give instructions to his driver and the driver repeats it! Can anyone else hear Andrew and the driver or am I totally bonkers?
I hate repeating myself ..:badhorse:

puddin, yes, they do say that at 0:41 into the Preview. I did not watch this prview as I had watched what I thought was the lower quality version of it Sunday night.
There is nothing in Newberg, this town of about 20,000 inhabitants that appears special, although the Willamette River does flow through it. You have already noted beautiful state park Champoeg State Heritage Area, which is seven miles southeast of Newberg. Rich in history, Champoeg also offers nature and recreation at its finest. The park provides camping with all the amenities, picnic sites, open fields, an amphitheater, and bike and hiking trails along the Willamette River. Champoeg's past is preserved in several buildings and historical sites.
Newberg is situated in a natural bowl between the mountains and the Willamette River. It is conceivable that tree climbing arrangements could have been made somewhere in those mountains.

I agree -- Nick & Starr would have the advantage with a memory test. Similarly, I'd have a big advantage on memory tests -- I have a great memory.

P.S. I'm going to leave for Walt Disney World tomorrow, so I probably won't be online until Sunday, when I return home.
