Amazing Race Questions
SuperTux:
In which case is the penalty executed on the spot and in which case at the pit stop?

For quitters, it's determined by this question, "Is it possible for the penalized team(s) to interfere with other teams? (YES/NO)".
It's been streamlined and constantly fixed between seasons, although not perfect.
Prime examples of on-site penalties (YES):
TAR7's infamous Argentinian feast Roadblock- Susan & Patrick and Debbie & Bianca were still behind Romber, Ray & Deana, and Meredith & Gretchen at the time they opted to quit the task.
TAR15 Globetrotters' Franz Roadblock- it was early in the leg and their likelihood to interfere with the other three teams would've been plausible.
TAR31 Art & JJ's quit: Rupert & Laura were still behind when the border patrols decided to forfeit.
Prime examples of transferred penalties to the Pit Stop (NO):
TAR6 Hayden & Aaron's untimely proposal: this one is a one-off mainly because it was determined by logistics that the two teams were initially expected to be in the same penalty situation and the Roadblock location was closing shop for the day. So both teams and crew had to leave regardless.
TAR10 Kellie & Jamie's flaming arrows: they were the last team left on the course when they decided to call it a day.
TAR17 Nick & Vicki's Detour quit: they were the last team at that time.
TAR22 and 25's beachside Roadblocks: because the people who banded together to forfeit were already in last, it was smarter to just give them the clue and battle for their spot in the next leg.
For transportation and rule infractions, it's always been and will always be announced with plot twist "however"s at the Pit Stop.

Would they eliminate Joey & Meghan as they were last to the pitstop or would Caroline & Jen be eliminated because after all the time credits were addressed they left the pitstop in last place. Surely they can't bring C & J out and say you're eliminated but it would be unfair to Joey & Meghan if they're eliminated them too due to production error. Or would they make it a non-elim with no penalty or something.

I would like to know what the production error was.

I get it. Thanks!
Stone:
Has a leg ever been seriously impacted, delayed, or downright cancelled and replaced due to inclement weather?
I'm not talking about stuff like wind making it so Jason & Amy couldn't do the fast forward in Vienna. Has it ever been raining or snowing so hard teams couldn't get flights in and/or production had to scrap planned tasks? I'm watching S28 and noticed it raining during the Shenzhen leg and made me think how TAR seems to have remarkably good weather most of the time.
