a) give all the people points
or
b) give no points at all.
From the episode, we cannot prove that either they did or did not finish, so personally I think that we should give no points at all since they weren't proven to either finish or not finishing all tasks.

I agree that the answer should be "no". If Phil had met them on the battlefield and told them they need not finish since all other teams were in, then the answer would be "yes". This is what has happened in several previous TARs; but in this ep although we do not see them actually finishing the boat drill nor the watermelon gig, we do see them arriving at the finish mat and being told by Phil that they were last. So if the producers follow previous procedures, Ron and Toni did actually finish the two tasks.

For future questions like that one, you should try asking if "we see all teams completing all tasks" instead.

I agree. We don't have any evidence to believe that they didn't complete the task, plus we have evidence that they did complete it, even if that evidence isn't from the episode itself. I say go with what actually happened, not what the editors made it look like.

Agreed. We saw them going to the pitstop, and we saw no evidence of them being mercy Philiminated, thus, they must have completed all tasks.

I am going to assume that they did indeed complete all tasks. But the Race isn't consistent in how they treat this.
Phil doesn't always go and eliminate a team at the point they no longer can complete a task.
Nor does he always mention if a team did quit a task before they get the boot.
It occurred twice in the tenth season (just off the top of my head) with Kellie & Jamie in leg two and Peter & Sarah in Leg 6. But in Kellie & Jamie's case they openly say (Phil doesn't) that they quit the task and this was at the Mat. I don't think they ever tell us that Petter & Sarah never performed the detour (they didn't where they normally would have taken out a detour instruction clue, they were given a clue directing them to the Pit Stop, this was stated after the race, they were even directed by crew to that location, they were so bad off). Those stick out because it happened twice in one season.
But even still I am counting "No" as the correct answer.
I am assuming based on Ron (I think) riding the horse, that they made it through the water task, and then actually made it through the Watermelon Roadblock.
The other issue is this now makes 7 men performing the roadblock. Though the options given were 6 men, or All of them. Though all men didn't perform the RB, every team with a man on it did (and that was my actual intent). So i am taking all of them as the right answer.
