TAG 19 Finale Official Answers

Simple Questions (10 pts. each)

1. Aside from directions to proceed to the Panama airport, will there be another task performed in Panama?
     B. No

2. Will any team ask to be seated toward the front part of the plane?
     B. No -- no airport drama

3. With all of the foreshadowing, will Ernie or Cindy goof up (make a mistake) during the final leg?
     B. No -- since Ernie finished the typing task first, it's hard to label a few typing do overs as a goof up.

4. Will Phil or any racer mention that Atlanta hosted the 1996 Olympics (or Olympic Games)?
     B. No -- at least Hank Aaron got some recognition

5. Will Jeremy have a pre-finish line confessional where he completes two sentences?
     A. Yes

6. Will Amani and Marcus be captioned as "first place" during any part of the episode?
      B. No -- it just wasn't destined, was it?

7. Since Atlanta is legendary for traffic jams … will one or more teams be stuck in traffic during this episode? Stuck means stalled while the light is green or in line with many cars that aren't moving. Excludes stopped at a stop light or freeway on-ramp light.
     B.   No

8. Will Amani make a sports-related analogy during this episode?
     B. No
     A. Yes -- She said "I would still have thrown you the pass in the end zone ... you would have been my target"

9. At the memory challenge (with the big map of the world), will the arrival and departure order be the same? That is, will one or more teams move up a place by finishing faster?
     B. No

10. Will any racer comment on the weather in Atlanta?
     B. No

11. Will one of the teams fail to finish the final (memory) task?
     B. No -- Although not shown, A/M did the giant map task (see article: http://blogs.ajc.com/radi...g-race/?cxntlid=thbz_hm)

12. Will there be a foot race between or more teams to the finish line?
     B.   No

Multiple Choice Questions (25 pts. each)

13.   Which team has the least difficulty with the airplane simulator task?
    C. Jeremy/Sandy

14. In the previews, a task is shown using a typewriter. What kind of task is it?
    B.   A transcription task (type something already printed or written)
    D.   A task that requires use of a certain set of keys
NOTE: Both B and D are correct answers.

15. Which team will be the slowest to finish the memory task (the ropes and giant world map task shown in the previews)?
    E. Cannot be determined -- Since it was not shown for A/M, we'll never know.

16. Which of the following happens in this episode?
    G.    None of the above

17. How will taxi cabs influence the placement of teams by the end of the episode?
    F. No difference -- the cabs just followed directions, even if they were wrong directions (Jeremy/Sandy).

18. How many times will the word "million" (or millions) be mentioned during this episode?
    C.   5 to 7 -- I counted six in one watching and seven in another. 3 or 4 by Phil, 2 by Ernie and 1 by Cindy.

19.   The winners of The Amazing Race 19 are:
    B. Ernie/Cindy

20. Who is the second team to arrive at the finish line?
    C. Jeremy/Sandy

21.   Who is the last team to arrive at the finish line?
    A. Amani/Marcus

22.   What will be the title of the typewriter Roadblock? The answer was "Who gives a damn?"

No one was that close, but many people began their answer with "Who" and the first person to do that was potassium.

23. If said at all, what does another team say about Andy and Tommy being eliminated in the previous leg? Ernie said "To lose to the boys would be one thing, but losing to Sandy and Jeremy or Marcus and Amani would be like losing it to my brother or something like that." This alludes to Andy and Tommy's elimination, so ...

Sadly, no one was close with any answers, so the first person to use common words ("to" and "the") is RobVanStratus.

24. Assuming a team knows they are in first place and en route to the finish line, what is said inside the taxi cab? The answer was "This is it. This is for all the marbles. This is for everything. So happy you have GPS, Ben. As long as it is the right place. … Just go fast. Please hurry up. Recalculating. Recalculating. We really really have to win. Recalculating. No, it's not working. Recalculating. Let's just go this way and ask. Don't get us killed." (some phrases omitted since they weren't close to any of the guesses).

And Spanky Hot Dog is the winner with "Oh my God this is it"

SIQ-1. Will the recap mention that Ethan and Jenna were previous winners of Survivor?
     B. No

SIQ-2. Which team will be the first team say they are glad to be back in America?
    D. This is not said by any of these teams

If an answer is wrong or has a debatable answer, please BRING IT UP for discussion. Every effort will be made to resolve any errors.

ETA-1: Corrected an error with question 18.
ETA-2: Corrected answer for question 8.

I could have sworn Marcus said something along the lines of "this is the Super Bowl" and "this is like being in the red zone with 4 downs to get touchdown" en route to the Flight Safety location and Amani said something like "I would have thrown you the ball anyway" after completing the flight simulator.

I have this sinking feeling that the two legs to get canceled for me would be the last 2.

Me too. The Finale left me unsatisfied both on tv and in these last sets of questions...cause I overthought them too much.
