NO teams were able to do it based om memory.
Was the task itself flawed?? Probably. Or was the failure to read the clue correctly part of it?
I would have much preferred a classic memry task. Perhaps we will see that in the Dome next week. I hope so!
Will be an interesting discussion in the overall dissection of this season after the Finale.
Was the alliance brilliant? Or was it a terrible thing for the race itself? I did find it AMAZING that Phil took the time to instruct racers about not helping each other at the start. That alone tells me that production was NOT happy with this alliance. Just IMO.
Tell you what...give me a bit and I'll start an alliance discussion thread so we can have this in one place. :tup:

I also see Phil’s “advice” to teams at the start and realise producers like us also don’t like the idea of this alliance, sadly Will/James as race fans still decide to do it this way.
Even though I don’t particularly like NFL, I feel for them and it looks really bad. If I were them seeing other three teams helping each other, I would have just stood there and look at them so they don’t get a chance to talk, also can just sneak at what flags they took. This last task set up is not very good, they should separate the teams and stop them communicating with each other, the alliance really ruined the whole season even though some tasks such as this music memory one are really great.

But no Deangelo, shut up. From the top 4 teams, yours was one that had more chances to be eliminated before this leg (even last leg, without the top 3 alliance, with that last task that you messed up big time Deangelo, you would have gone already). Also, with was the first team to ask for help/suggest a alliance at the last task, couple hours ago? Gary and Deangelo, right at the beginning of the task. At least the other three waited/tried and for Hung and Chee and sorry for you guys, but Will and James figured it out their main issue and won their spot. At least, three very competent teams. Gary and Deangelo? Not as good. We saw other teams this season (and in past ones) knowing they would be eliminated, and still finishing the leg, even during the night after a way harder leg, to at least say they made it. Sorry, this is the definition of a real loser, going out like this. Sorry Deangelo, is just a game. Don´t be mad about it, right? You signed for this game and for this strategy.

Welcome to RFF man, but I highly suggest you go see what Gary & DeAngelo have been saying about it so you can have a better understand of where they're coming from. He wasn't upset about losing, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about.
Also about this:

You're missing the point. The other three teams secretly formed a mini alliance despite agreeing during the Mine 5 that after 5 everyone was out for themselves, so to tell them "no we're going to work on our own" and then immediately backstab them and all work together to make sure they got out was a very effed up thing to do
georgiapeach:
I think it was a CASTING Failure.
This is what you get when you cast someone who has never seen the race before. And thinks he is there"to see the world".

I posted my take on this here: https://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,34976.msg1290322.html#msg1290322
theschnauzers:
The final three alliance came together several lega prior to the Megaleg and it was shown that while they would honor the Mine Five alliance, there was tension with Gary and D’Angelo over what was perceived as a one sided aspect to their behavior to the rest of that Alliance. I seem to recall Hung and Chee being particularly unhappy about them. You might recall that in the second India roadblock with the place settings and the rulers. So, while I totally agree about the editing reflects what story production wants to tell, and our perception as viewers, clearly there were things other teams were perceiving in the moment about Gary and D’Angelo in those last few legs.
I’m sure there’s a lot there that is not yet visible until after the finale airs that should be told. It’s much like season one in that respect, and we’ll have to wait and see what comes out.
And I’m one that thinks the music memory challenge was flawed from its design and how teams understood it. It’s quite interesting that two teams, even after agreeing to work together to try and figure out the solution, went back and re-read the clue. Definitely a persistent problem this season. Won’t surprise me if this shows up again in the finale.
