I've seen so many comments on why did the shopping bags randomly appear after the strongman task. Here's what I think. when teams parked their cars before walking to the square, the clue must have told them to abandon their car & carry all their possessions including the bag for the remainder of the leg. When Jessica & Cody arrived at the square, they are clearly carrying the bag. It didn't randomly appear, so I don't think there was a task cut.

Rewatching the episode, some addition observations:
- Still think that they should have added info on 2 flight via Phil narration. It be interesting as some people from flight 2, were able to race ahead of people from flight 1, who got lost in leg that featured mostly self-driving. Don't mind losing any likely airport drama, which is probably unnecessary, as the flights info were probably spelled out in the additional info sheet racers got in the first clue envelope.
- Too much time spent on Goat Yoga team meltdown. That was a bit too much that was edited in, from them arguing during the drive and also confessionals. Too much.
- Racers mentioning fear of heights this time around were something more random, no great cries like we had with Scott. Just a gorgeous task, with no meltdowns.
- Loved the RB, especially the ICE letters. Interesting that there were two letter stations available? I guess, it was unclear.
- Teams received the white bags between RB and the drinks name challenge, just weird seeing them carrying those around while trying to complete the task. It made the little shown from the task a bit funky.
- Liked that there was at least one task set in the urban setting, even if the filming or editing of that section was weird.
- Didn't read much about Jody during race coverage, not a Big Brother follower (or even Survivor), so whenever we have racers originating from those other shows, I only try to assess them from how they perform on TAR. On their particular case, the fanatic fanbase was so loud, that I deliberately shut-out reading anything at all, especially during filming. But from watching them this leg, I think I already like them better than Brenchel.
- Favorite teams so far Yale and Extreme.

Other teams had more than one bag.
Dånooky:
My take is that teams were given their sponsored winter clothing in those bags at the beginning of the leg (TAR always provides winter gear). Then they were told to abandon their cars at the plaza and teams without enough space in their backpacks ended up carrying the extra shoppng bags
Lemontail:
And it could be a reference to lady shopping in a field that Lori & Bolo met while asking for directions in TAR 6.
