Regardless of the outcome, that was a well-designed task; hopefully there are more tasks of this quality in TAR 13.

I figured Christina would nail this one. She seemed smart and logical through most of the race.
It was oddly satisfying to see her fall apart and use "freaking" every other word. |

Actually, I was very confused with the task...had NO IDEA what the heck they were supposed to do...
Anyway....so they only have 15 min to do right? After they can't do it in 15, they will get the clue automatically?? I thought Ron/Chris were way ahead of the other teams (TK mentioned they were about 15-20 min behind during the ice climb) so I don't understand what happened? |

There was no time limit, they just had to complete the task as fast as they could. From an interview with TK and Rachel, it seemed that it took over an hour for even Rachel to complete it. |

15 minutes? That was last year......
I'm pretty sure you had to do it or you fail. It was really depressing for Christina to break down and just do nothing and pray...At least pray while you MOVE! Even though it was confusing, I started to understand it...Not really. |

Yeah, I love the challenge. For some reason, it reminded me of Big Brother -- the kind of challenge Janelle would excel.

also remined me of Season 8 with the map roadblock challenge, that's when TAR producers starting getting it together for the final roadblock. Forget Season
10's finale, that was a joke!

At first Christina had it all right except for the Netherlands, but then she second guessed herself and started taking everything off that stage But yeah at first it seemed easy but when everyone started having problems, that when I did too lol |

Yeah, she only had one wrong in the beginning. I think what really messed her up was the human cleaner one. It seemed to me that it took her a long time to even consider the possibility that he could be one of the animals. I may be wrong though. |

if only this task was last seasons, then we would have had a FF team win.

I agree and then some. It required real intelligence, coolness, orderly thinking, and memory, and was involved enough to give a team arriving late a chance to catch up, which indeed was what happened. It was also very clear what had to be done, there were no hidden issues, like spell something correctly, and no needles in haystacks to find. No random outcome this time, although I was surprised at the outcome, I thought Chris was smart enough to gobble it right up. |

I loved this task, but it is hard to appreciate since one of my favorite racer's messed up on it, and it cost her the game (and allowed a weaker female
racer to win, since Chris has been better at racing than Rachel throughout the season till then). If Chris had won it, it would be the best task ever. I
thought she would, too, since she is supposed to be the "smart" one, and she almost had it right (I was so frustrated with that).

Christina choked badly in the final roadblock, allowing calm cool & collected Rachel to pass her and win the game. And Christina was no better racer than Rachel during the game. After all, they both finished in the final three. Kudos to the TAR organizers for an excellent final roadblock.
