I didn't get what they were supposed to do.  Can anyone explain that puzzle to me?

I think  the one you mean is the one where they were supposed to put the countries they went to in the right order and match up the item that showed what they had to do there with the country.

It was confusing.  Here's the explanation from CBS/TAR page ...
 
First, there could only be one item from each of the ten legs of the race. Second, only three items could be animals or animal by-products, one had to be a U-turn, two had to be items either at or brought to the Pit Stop, two had to be items of transportation with wheels, one of which was used at a Detour, and one had to be an item of transportation resembling the shape of a stick. While there were several ways to fulfill either of the requirements, only one correct group of ten items fulfilled both.
On the Morning Show yesterday, Rachel said that she thought something like this was coming.  She'd seen similar challenges on other TAR finals and made mental notes of what was involved in each country.
 
Phil said that he thought that Christina would pull it out because she's so smart ... Stanford grad, etc.
 
On a side note, Ron & Christina are selling their TAR t-shirts on ebay.  Profits will benefit an orphanage in Yako (Africa).  More info ... http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=ronchris.tar12

Thanks for that.  Confusing isn't the word.  What was the thing that had to be a U-Turn? 
 
I was very pleased with the outcome this time..

I was glad to see TK and Rachel win, but I did think Christina would get it.  That was a tough challenge and I think bc Rachel remained really calm she was able to get it done, too bad it fell on 1 person to win that challenge which pretty much determined who won the race.  It was a tough one though, they all did a great job and worked really hard!

I don't like challenges like that one that if screwing up on just one extremely complicated one will determine the winner.  It just seems a shame that a team can be outstanding in soooo many aspects and then the game goes to one team that just really lucks out on a ridiculously tuff challenge.  It reminds me of backgammon where its just kind of a toss of the dice right at the end.

I know what you mean.   I would have been pee o'd if a team I didn't like had won that last challenge.   I  liked all three of the final teams, I thought they all had done really well, so I wouldn't have minded who had won, but TK & Rachel were my faves so I was happy they pulled it off.  But if it had been Rob & Amber, then I would have thrown something at the t.v.
