True. But since there doesn't seem to be a Yield this season, at least not so far . . . .
Edit: Word on the net is that there was no speed bump due to a production error. According to the story (uncorrobarated officially so far, as best I can tell), Nick and Vicki actually completed the piano task much sooner last week, but the clue-wielding judge told them they had it wrong so they kept trying. (Whether this was before they switched to the film task or after they came back, I don't know.) But for the judge, they would have hit the mat a lot sooner. So, the last leg was hastily made a non-elimination leg. It was pointed out, and I think this is correct, that when Phil told them it was a non-elimination leg and they were still in the race, he wasn't shown saying anything about a speed bump.
The story seems plausible, but if it's true, it's beyond me why they didn't offer a simple explanation -- "Due to a production error, Nick and Vicki had to keep working on the piano task even though they had actually correctly completed it. As a result, they will not be required to complete a speed bump in this leg of the race."
