They are cute but still - maybe give them the whole alphabet with 3 copies of each letter to choose from - not just the letters that were on the course - then if they needed to go back they would still need to remember the letters, not just their positioning.

From the producers' pov that would be wasting money on unnecessary props

That's why I initially thought of a simple whiteboard ;)

Seeing the relatively huge numbers makes me a little sad that this Leg and episode wasn't better or more exciting than it was. For the 3 million+ people who might have tuned in for the first time or tuned back in after drifting away from the show over the years, it didn't really have a major hook that would entice people to come back again if they weren't already watching the show.
The stunning shots during the canyon traverse (really, the biggest highlight of the Leg/episode) can only go so far. And it's not like TAR has photo finishes every week.

We know from the promos that teams made a stop at 66 North. What's interesting is that a few of the teams were already wearing the gear in the field, so there must have been an unaired bit of shopping before they set out.

I read elsewhere that in a Q&A last night, Jessica stated all the racers were given the hats and gloves by production.
dryedmangoez:
TAR always provides teams with cold weather gear. But the teams were all carrying several of 66°North bags once back in Reykjavik. I doubt TAR required teams to keep the bags for them to place them in to return later.
It's either one of:
-There was an unaired task between the Road Block and the drinks.
-TAR gave the teams their gear in those plastic bags and specifically told them to carry them around as extra product placement for a local sponsor.
