I think you need to watch the Xian ending of AR6 ep. 11 again. Start with the time on Mt. Hua where the locks Roadblock is happening. Watch Kris and Kendra finish and disappear. That leaves Hayden and Rebecca to find the correct lock. As the closing time (7pm) forced by the last transportation off the mountain nears, Aaron/Hayden make a strategic move and take the 4 hour penalty. By incredible luck, in the last minute or so before closing, Rebecca's lock turns open. That means they avoid the 4 hour penalty and there is no way they can reasonably lose. all of the chase scenes in Xian were superfluous because unless Adam/Rebecca got into a very serious taxi accident or died en route, they were not going to finish 4 hours after Hayden/Aaron. If fact they finished only a minute or two after.

Hey, apskip!
I meant before the roadblock, Hayden and Aaron started the leg in first and the only reason they got at the Mountain in last for the locks Roadblock was because their cab got them lost. They lost a HUGE ammount of time in the cab. I mean, Kris and Jon were already finished with their roadblock and so were Freddy and Kendra, I think, when they got there. So they left de detour in first but arrived at the roadblack in last. But yeah, Rebecca was really lucky and Hayden was already in Meltdown mode when they got to the Roadblock, which didn't really help.

But if you watch that episode again, you'll see just how long Rebecca was trying to find the correct lock. Rebecca was at least looking for 4 hours or even more than that. So really Rebecca had been looking for longer than Haydon, and had bad luck. It was the cab's falt though that Haydon and Aaron were behind.

Rebecca should have just chuck Adam on Leg 1 and still do well all the way to the final three. :res:
