Continuing to over think the SwitchBack B:)
Racers decide who is going to do a Roadblock before opening the clue. What if once they open the clue it says that the other teammate must do the Roadblock.

:tup: Like it!
To support the hypothesis:
If you are a racer, and obviously you see haybales around you, you will think its time to do the RB in Season 6. And of course, a racer who is afraid to do it that they may screw the team, will have to force his/her teammate to do it. Its the "Switch" part in the "Switchback". The "back" means to do repeat the challenge again.

Okay I am lost at the Switchback thing so what's the list of possibilities? I will be so mad if it's just a term for the task though. (:;)
Extracted from Wikipedia:
A hairpin turn (also hairpin bend, hairpin corner, etc.), named for its resemblance to a hairpin/bobby pin, is a bend in a road with a very acute inner angle, making it necessary for an oncoming vehicle to turn almost 180° to continue on the road. Such turns in ramps and trails may be called switchbacks in American English, by analogy with switchback railways. In British English 'switchback' is more likely to refer to a heavily undulating road—a use extended from the rollercoaster and the other type of switchback railway.
So in simple words: A switchback is a very acute turn in trails/ramps in America. A switchback is a roller-coaster shaped road in Britain. But since it's America, we're going with the hairpin, whose angle is so small the turning for vehicles is large. Now we just need to intepret it to make it The Amazing Race-ish. :lol:

But then that would mean that Ericka volunteered to do it originally...I do nOT see that happening. But can see Meghan being more confident thinking it's as easy as a roll in the hay.... ;D
