Don't be tempted Remove this ad Now, I'm not talking ones that are just hard, like the hay bale challenge, or ones that take concentration or memory. I'm talking about already-tough challenges where the producer's throw in an unnecessary wrinkle just to screw with the Racers' minds. My vote would be for the statue re-assembly roadblock in Greece- Corinth, I think- for TAR ??. There, they threw in extra statue pieces WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE.

Every single task in that leg was completely physically draining and pretty much every team had car troubles or problems with the animals in the tasks. Absolutely insane. Every team was completely wiped out when they reached Phil.

As a task itself it's obviously not one of the hardest, but it was a pretty brutal set-up to have 10 teams stuck so close together with zero room for error.

You not only have to eat this gross food but you have to eat more of it in one sitting that the person would normally eat in a day (the absurd meat task in rombers season)

It was, and they weren't. They had all night to look (obviously rewarding teams to find it quickly, or, in the case of the Weavers, not decide to take a break or four) and, in fact, the tickets were only 5 minutes apart, so even with the Weavers' delay, it didn't mean shit.

Only Lori didn't quickly realize that there was one extra piece that they weren't supposed to use.

TAR is also evil to Mika, considering that their tasks from Leg 1 - Finale were based at height and water challenges... I could have imagined how Mika would quit the final RB if it happens to her.

Detour - Colin did plow in a detour task in the Philippines. I remember the slang "My Ox Is Broken, This is Bullshit." Tasks - Eric & Danielle might avoid losing (since Eric would be lose again for the second time), they would obtain to win.
