sorry, but wiki can be edited by anyone...so we do not trust it for that kind of info.

In season 10, Karlyn did 7 roadblocks while Lyn only did 5 of them. Same thing in season 16 where Brent did 7 and Caite did 5.

Lyn performed an unaired Roadblock, totaling 6 for her.

There was the leg with two RB so, that season is not relevant to set precedent for the RB limit rule since it's an irregular run (they didn't have a choice on who would perform the second one).
Back on topic: maybe there isn't a Roadblock at all on this leg.

Season 10 had 13 Roadblocks (Leg 7 had an unaired one, but there was spoiler video to show it was there), so clearly someone needed to do more than 6 Roadblocks. Season 16 had the double Roadblock leg, so it seems the limit was increased to 7 per person. In episode 10 of this season, before opening the roadblock clue, Vicki stated "Who's feeling peckish? Me, I guess. I've gotta do it." Nick had already completed 6 Roadblocks, so if Vicki truly needed to do it, there would be a 6 Roadblock limit.
I'm starting to think though that there will not be a Roadblock on the final leg. We know teams work together on what appears to be the memory task and both team members perform the bungee drop (could be one of the detour options). From seasons 12 on, there hasn't been a Detour, Roadblock, and memory challenge in the final leg. Seasons 12 & 14, the Roadblock was the memory challenge. Season 13 there was no Roadblock. And Seasons 15 & 16 there was no Detour.
Chateau d If:
Season 9's finale had a Roadblock that was a memory challenge! :xmas146
Remember this:
Caelestor:
Detours are essentially like two tasks, so it makes sense for the producers to cut out a task that likely no team will perform (IIRC TAR 14 had a pig detour aired as a general task).
Is bungee an RB? Because the task in the dark stadium definitely isn't.
AbbyNormal:
You guys are great, I love reading your detective work! If the Rose Bowl challenge is a memory challenge, then I have to think that the advantage goes to Nat and Kat. You can't make it through medical school without developing some serious memorization techniques.
I've been a B/C fan from the beginning, but I would be very happy to see N/K take home the $1M. Got to pay off those school loans!
