TAR15 EP11: "It Starts With an “F”, That’s All I’m Saying" (Czech Republic)
Ruth:
It was a great episode, love the tasks and all but I didn't like the fact that Flight Time and Big Easy quit. I mean, I'm happy they're not in the final three 'cos they're the team I like the least out of the remaining teams, but it just made the rest of the leg so predictable. From that point onwards, we all knew that they were gonna be eliminated. I'd have preferred if they hadn't quit but still lost. Hmmm.
Brian doing the Roadblock's a little worrying for me, that'd mean that Ericka takes the final Roadblock and she isn't known to keep her cool........ Oh well.

Ruth,
My understanding of the ROADBLOCK balance requirement is that teams can vary by more than 1 in the final ROADBLOCK tally even though I cannot tell you specifically what the number is. If I am correct, this means that Brian at 6-5 can take the finale ROADBLOCK if there is one. All teams are able to have complete flexibility. Meghan and Cheyne both have 5 due to their FAST FORWARD. Sam has 5 and Dan has 6, so they too can choose either one.
georgiapeach:
It is my understanding that no team member can do more than 6 RB's, finale or no. That is why it is so important that teams choose carefully who does what leading up to the finale.
I think Meghan and Cheyne are the only ones with flexibility, either of them can do it.
But Sam and Ericka (to the best of my knowledge) will have to be our RBers, if there is a RB. As puddin pointed out, the season 13 finale did not have one.

I think the tally went up to 7 in Season 10 only because there were 13 roadblocks during that season. The limit came back to 6 in Season 11 (as stated by Eric)

I'm having a hard time believing that the Kryocentrum was really at -180 Celsius (-292 Fahrenheit) or -160C if you believe the sign (-256 Fahrenheit). I'd expect that frostbite would be almost immediate at those temperatures. That's far colder than what they use to flash freeze food. I'd also expect it would extremely expensive to operate, probably involving liquid gases which would be dangerous/deadly if there was plumbing leaks. Additionally, just opening up the door to let them in would raise temperature dramatically as the perhaps 30 to 40 degree exterior air mixes with the -292 F air inside the chamber.
I did run one of the the Kryocentrum web pages http://www.kryocentrum.cz/index.php?s=kryoterapie-lecba-chladem#1 through the Google translator and it says they use temperatures of -110 C (-156 F) to -160 C - no mention of -180 C. If it is true, it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong about something like this, but I remain skeptical.
