My favorite (possibly because it's the closest the race has been to me) is the maze. It was intense seeing Chip & Kim struggle so much with it and Colin & Christie have a strategy and blaze through it. Another that I like is the field of clueboxes from Season 13, it's my favorite memory challenge.
The worst final challenge is "Eat a pizza". It wasn't even a large pizza. This is of course ignoring the seasons that didn't have anything: Seasons 1, 2, 7, 10. Though if include those last two as having a task, Season 10 is the worst because of how unfair it was to slow people.

Ok just call it a task if you want. To me there are Roadblocks (have to be done) or detours (chance to switch). Most Roadblocks are for one person obviously, but in the final 'challenge' it's better if it is for 2 people I think, so both team members are tested.
The pizza thing was weird and didn't even seem a task to me, it was more just what I would call a 'Delay Event'. Don't know why they did it, to promote the pizza place or something? It was obvously weak anyway, but as I say hardly any kind of challenge.

It would have been better if they had had a bigger pizza, like a full 16" they had to finish before continuing.

But its being used to often. It was on TAR AU and TARA 2.
I like the game show board on TAR 17 and the world of clue boxes TAR 13 and the TAR 12 conumdrum

Season 9 had a field full of several flags, but had a board that had the flags that would be used (plus a few extra), also teammates could help
Next was Asia Season 2, with 15-20 flags given but no hints, and only the one person could do it
Then Australia Season 1, which was exactly like the Asian one.

There was a similar task in the final double leg of TARLA 2.

Just saw season 18 and it seemed pretty much up to classic status until the absolutely stinking final leg. :(
