Adding that at about 9:35 into the ep 11 show, you can hear BE ask FT "you want to do the last one, right...so I got this one", so I think we can safely say the 6 limit RB rule remains in place.
Boy, I'll bet they regret that decision... :groan:

OK, Peach and Abby, how do you explain the result in AR10, where the ROADBLOCK split was "Lyn 5, Karlyn 7"?
Ruth:
I totally did not think that it was a strategic move on BE's part to quit the Roadblock. Hey, the penalty's 4 hours! In this penultimate leg, the likelihood of another team making such a grave mistake that will cost 4 hours is really low. What's more, they were already the last team there, couldn't he have continued on? After all, Dan already told him it started with an "F", I'm sure he wouldn't take 4 hours even if he unscrambled all the letters one by one would he. And in the first place, I don't see what's so difficult about the Roadblock. Oh well, but I'm just glad it's them who're out and not anyone else. And I admire the way they took it. =)

As I said before, Karlyn was allowed to do 7 Roadblocks on Season 10 because the cap was lifted due to it having 13 roadblocks. Most probably, Lyn performed an unaired Roadblock. Eric in All-Stars confirmed the cap was set back to 6 after he stated in an episode that he had maxed out.

Since you ask so nicely :lol:
Season 10 had 12 legs but 13 Roadblocks, BECAUSE there was the TBC in leg 9 where one leg had 2.
Teams were well aware throughout the race that the RB split needed to stay even , but with 13 RB's, someone would do 6, the other person 7.
There was an unaired RB in Mauritius, on leg 7. This was the episode that had full video spoilers, and then was not shown on air.
Lyn did this RB, which consisted of kayaking out to a large boat (I believe this may have been the Isla Mauritia??), Swim over and board that boat, where they were outfitted in an old fashioned "Diver's Bell Helmet". They then had to walk underwater across a path through the coral reef collecting a series of letters. when they had all their letters, they had to unscramble them (still underwater), in order to reveal the name of their next destination, which was the Post Office on the western shore....
They then had to swim back from the boat to their kayak, and paddle all the way back to shore.
Lyn had some trouble with this task in two areas, which lost her some time.
The first was that being very buoyant, she had difficulty getting down to the bottom and staying there. The next was getting back into the kayak. The paddle back was also quite a distance.
So of the 13 RB's she did 6, Karlyn 7.
Interestingly...Lyn and Karlyn were the ONLY team to do the full 13 RB's that season, as both Tyler and James and Rob and Kimberly had FF's...leaving their totals at 6/6 (including the unaired RB).
Source? Lyn Turk :thankyou: Lyn!!
And I STILL grieve for not getting to see this RB!!! :'(
But to take us back on topic... the RB rule appears to still be in complete effect.
