Genius:
TAR Canada 4 Leg 10's roadblock
Joel and Ashley tricking Frankie and Amy into thinking that they needed to memorize the names in English as well as the scientific names.

In terms of thoroughness playing off, Reichen and Chip’s exhausting and through airport research to get from the Netherlands to India first in TAR 4. Chip even had the ticket agent check the weather and flight status.
Not the only time they did it that season, but this one had an immediate impact.

No doubt that however mind-boggling and infuriating this was for everyone to watch, it worked in Brooke's favor without having to take the 4-hour penalty which would have definitely eliminated her & Scott over Shamir & Sara.

Nope. This is one of the biggest fallacies I've seen when seeing TAR29 discussion, in all honesty.
Shamir & Sara were too far behind that the place closed and they were field eliminated. Irregardless of your thoughts on 29, its impossible to say that Brooke & Scott would be anywhere near elimination that leg. They still survive even if Brooke is there the whole night until the place closes or even takes a penalty since by default, they still got there before Shamir & Sara and the latter would still be penalized for not finishing in time.
Maybe it changes 29 if Brooke & Scott were too far behind after Leg 4, but they still bunch teams on Leg 5, thus making the season play out the same way.
Point though - its still a good move. Way to go with the social game that leg for them :funny:

The act helped them get out of the airport faster and they were ahead of Jet & Cord and Brent & Caite for the entire final leg. Their want of a safe lead after living their own nightmare penultimate leg paid off.

That was a brilliant move - and that on the final leg. Is this still allowed or has it led to rule change?

From what's been happening in finales recently, production has upgraded all final 3's to first-class.
