I could be wrong though.  :duno:

I think you are wrong. It was a general task. They had a ROADBLOCK, which seldom happens on any FIRST Amazing Race leg, and compensated by having no DETOUR this leg.

Season 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 had roadblocks....

REDSKEVIN,
You are correct if focusing on the recent past, as all Amazing Races from 14 forward have a ROADBLOCK. as you indicated. However, no ROADBLOCK in the first leg was a norm for most of the earlier Amazing Races:
2
3
5
6
7
8
9
11
13
It's 50% none and 50% one ROADBLOCK for the first 18 races. That is not "seldom" as I thought.

ZBC Company:
is everything stage the amazing race

Certain things are, yes. But this is what you get in reality TV where the outcome and events are unpredictable.

BamBam:
Let me just say the way you all figure this stuff out is AMAZING!  :gj:

I was so happy to see that it was a non elimination.  I wish they would do the first leg like this every time.  I think it gives all teams a better chance to figure it out.

Looking forward to another great season!  :wohoo:

Kiwi Jay:
I have to say the episode was very good, if a little rushed, and I am all for these teams! And also, I think AR is one of the least staged Reality shows, actually, I mean sometimes they have to stretch the truth to get the shots they need (like the passport shot) but I truly believe that it is not to a huge extent, most is not, and is very much based on what happens to teams in the race!
