From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 19"

Answer: None

Although there was a Double U-Turn board waiting for teams at the Jamaica Shop in Chigumukile on the shores of Lake Malawi, none of the teams were actually forced to complete both sides of the Detour. In a rare instance, the team that utilized the U-Turn (Zac and Laurence) accidentally used the race mechanic on a team that had already passed them (Amani and Marcus), to the decision was useless in shifting the standings. In this leg of the race, all teams completed a task involving dugout canoes except for Amani and Marcus (who completed the other option) and Ernie and Cindy (since they used their Express Pass to skip the task).

This proved difficult for most teams, however, who were thrown off by the Balboas (Panamanian currency) on their outfits; Balboa is also a district of Panama containing the canal. Arriving at Panama Viejo, teams found the final Pit Stop of the race and Jeremy and Sandy won their first leg of the race, taking home a trip for two to Turks and Caicos courtesy of Travelocity.

Arriving many hours after the other teams and lacking any amount of money whatsoever, Liz and Marie ended up being the fourth team eliminated from the race.

Answer: Kaylani and Lisa

After the Road Block task teams were told to settle with their taxis if they hadn't already in order to head to the third Pit Stop of the race on the grounds of Borobudur Temple.

As a result, Andy and Tommy won a second consecutive leg of the race and a trip for two from Travelocity to Dubai. In the end it was a close race for the remaining spots on the mat but it was Kaylani and Lisa (who arrived at the temple in fourth!) who ended up becoming the third team eliminated from the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 19" [1]

Answer: Ernie and Cindy

After completing their dragonboat race, teams were told to make their way to the first Pit Stop of the race, the Martyr's Shrine in Taipei. Here, Ernie and Cindy stayed ahead of the crowd to take first place. For their victory they won the elusive Express Pass which would allow them to skip any task of their choosing in the first eight legs of the race. In the end it was Bill and Cathi who arrived at the mat in last place having trailed through the majority of their time in Taiwan.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 19"

Answer: Rabbit

Visiting Denmark in Leg 8, teams raced to Frilandsmuseet in Northern Copenhagen to find a choice between 'All Hopped Up' and 'All Churned Out', the former of which involved guiding a rabbit through a steeplechase course and the latter of which involved churning butter. Only Amani and Marcus chose the former task voluntarily, but a Double U-Turn forced Bill and Cathi and Laurence and Zac to turn around and complete the 'All Hopped Up' task before continuing on with the race. Laurence and Zac were inevitably eliminated in this leg not because of the extra task, but because of poor navigation and traffic issues.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 19" [6]

Answer: Atlanta

In the beginning of Leg 12, teams were told to fly back to the United States to their final destination city, Atlanta, Georgia.
