Turned on CBS right now to find the Survivor finale airing and I was so surprised to see the young adult-looking Mike from Mel & Mike now looking like (no offense to Mel the task beast) his father in his early 60's. I missed him and Mel!

19 and 23 are the closest, each with three minority finalists versus UB's four.
RaceUntilWeDie:
In Season 19 Leg 2 (Indonesia), the clue at the orphanage says:
In addition to all money earned at the Detours, you MUST give all the money in your possession to help the orphans. In exchange, you will receive a clue to help you find the next Pit Stop.
I feel like this setup was flawed, even though it created a chaotic mess (probably intended) for the teams. The teams were still given a clue even if they didn't give all their money, so the wording is off... I don't know, what do you guys think?
Edited to add: The Buddha Roadblock from Leg 3 was really good and an extremely underrated/forgotten task. More tasks need to be like this. Rewatching it, I didn't realize Kaylani & Lisa and Liz & Marie started in 3rd/4th before ending up as the last two teams to check in.
Also, the race to the finish in the same episode was really well-edited (it was suspenseful even though I knew the outcome) and not lazily done like post TAR 21.
Edited to add: Omg, what. Bill & Cathi literally could have had SIX Top 3 finishes but since they made so many mistakes/were slower (obviously), they only had three. Their placements would have been something like this:
11th-3rd-3rd-7th-2nd-3rd-3rd-2nd-5th-5th
^and they came so close to 1st twice.

I personally don't feel like this is much different from, "walk to this destination" and then someone takes a taxi, and still gets their clue from the box, but gets penalized later.
RaceUntilWeDie:
In Season 21, Episode 4, Abbie is very clearly giving Ryan verbal instructions during the Roadblock... it's rather jarring to watch considering they've given penalties for this in Season 27 and 30. Anyone care to rewatch? Did I misinterpret that part?
