Best and Worst final roadblocks you have seen?
Cocoa:
FINALE CHALLENGES
TAR 9 (flags <333)
TAR 11 (teammates should know each other's opinions, perfect fit for All-Stars)
TAR 12 (awesome logic)
TAR 13 (physical + mental + luck <333333)
TAR 14 (less amazing than its three predecessors, but yeah its a memory challenge so <3)
TAR 17 (greeters <333 did never expect them, though I still memorized the greeters haha)
TAR 19 (had the potential, but the teams are too smart so meh)

I'm going to go with 16 as the best. Yeah, it was easy, but that was kind of the point - they were expecting a big complex mental task, and it threw them for a loop when it wasn't even a task on its own but rather the second part of another task.
12's was good, as was 17's, but they both have big flaws - 17 using two random people as decoy greeters instead of picking two more hat-wearing former greeters, and 12 being easier than it looked. Solving it with logic alone, some of the clues/rules aren't even needed, and watching it as a fan of logic puzzles it just looked clumsy.

on a time pressure, everything's different. So don't compare at home and at race. :neener:

I feel that AR8 had the best ROADBLOCK, Wally Branson versus Nick Linz. The giant puzzle of North America was a real treat to watch (far better than the slightly similar geography challenge in AR19).
The second best ROADBLOCK was the scales and leg items for placement on the scales of AR12, Christina versus Rachel.
The worst ROADBLOCKs I know of are a tie between AR6 and AR10 for tandem skydiving. What a challenge (NOT) for the individuals selected!

The one in AR19 at least looked good and was a good concept but they needed to make it more difficult, either physically or mentally.
