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.

And, in general, though this is more of a modern development and less of a response to TAR16, teams that arrive on the same flight are held and subsequently released from the airport at the same time, leading to bunched sprints like those we see in TAR32 legs 1 and 2.
I'm not sure when the rule change was implemented- perhaps TAR28 with the multiple starting cities? I know it was the case in TAR31 for sure.

Anything Ashton Theiss did in TAR29.

I have to go with Dan/Jordan in the TAR16 finale. That pretty much decided the entire leg.

Speaking of 16, whatever it was Jet and Cord did at the bus station in leg 2. It's been a while so I don't remember specifically what they did except that it was awesome. it worked so well they got to an HoO at night and still the only team there when it opened.

I believe they got help from a local that said that they could arrive earlier in Puerto Varas if they did a transfer in Temuco, Chile instead of that early-morning direct shot.
