and an extra task
Such as it was. Yes, uncomfortable, but only 10 minutes and no chance of messing it up! Didn't even need to leave the clue box area.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That Speed Bump was truly pathetic. I was at least expecting them to have to drive somewhere for a massage!

But that is how so many of the speed bumps have been. Remember the Sauna Bus?

In bizarre reality TV news, last night I dreamed that Adam Lambert was on SYTYCD, and he was really, really good at dancing.

Right, but it's not like the bus was parked next to the clue box. They had to take time getting there and back.

I suspect that often the "extra" task is meant as much as a psychological deterent as an actual significant speedbump. Thus you get stuff like Sauna Bus or feeding Orangutans for a Fast Forward.
Or maybe the organizers said "screw it, we don't have an extra camera crew... okay, make 'em sit in ice chairs for ten minutes and the clue box film crew can cover it...."

I was wondering if the originally planned Speed Bump fell through, myself. Because it sure felt like a segment producer going "What, I don't know - oh fuck it, just sit over there."

At least, emotionally it doesn't feel to me like nasty people got an undeserved bonus. Getting on the early flight would have been enough to keep them ahead of the pack even with a lengthier task.

Eh. They were the first to think to try to find a better flight (IIRC, the only ones to think of it without prompting). And lame speed bump or no, they left the ice house at least 10 minutes after the other teams with them and still made it to the Detour first. It was nice to see them get back into it basically on their own game play.
