That's why the teams were dropping like flies and quitting one after another. The legs up to Taiwan were a nightmare for most.

Didn't somebody break their leg and had to drop out?!

Not in TARA 3. TARA 3 was pretty hard, especially the Sony DVD task. That was just horrible. :cmas4

I'm sorry but finding a dvd, although I'm sure was draining to a lot of the teams, was not a good task. TARA doesn't know how to do product placement well.

I never said that it was a good task.

I will demur, vociferously. The SONY DVD task in the department store was just a typical needle-in-a-haystack task, not much different in theory than searching haybales for the clue in AR6 on the farm in Sweden. The key to most of those tasks is that that first team to finish has a much greater range of things to find, while the last team only has one or two. That means that the length of such a task is highly variable for teams and based mostly on luck (although a system to know what you have already searched can be important too). In AR17 in Oman the "find Aladdin's lamp with a ring inside" task was of this type. So was the ROADBLOCK at the Majesty Chinese Restaurant in Hong Kong to find the fake food.The end result of a needle-in-a-haystack task is to really spread out teams, which is something I like to see to counterbalance the over-bearing bunching typical of every Amazing Race after AR1.
