No, it was the opposite - since the first Roadblock clue was "Who wants to follow the leader" (or something), the active participant in that one was actually the person in the taxi. The non-participant i.e. the paraglider was the one who had to do the rowing.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

My list of Things To Know Before You Go On The Show has expanded yet again: know how to row, right up there with Know How to Swim and Know How To Drive Stick.

Oh man, it was painful watching the people who had never been in a rowboat before. Thank god for that one guy who used to row crew.

You've got to love it though, when two of the neo-rowers literally fell off their benches the first time they tried.
I've paddled canoes and kayaks, I don't know how I'd do with regular oars, but I do have some generally understanding of physics and mechanical know-how.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ohhhh, right. No wonder it was confusing.

I think that bodes well for the season that they are complicating things a bit for the teams.

Yes, I like it when the clues are tricksy.

I can think of three teams that misread clues in just the first leg. What is going to happen when travel fatigue and sleep debt kick in?

Yeah, I was surprised at the number. That doesn't bode well, unless it's a "get your mistakes out early", but...
I was surprised that the paraglider was the one who had to row--they didn't make the "find them on the beach" seem all that difficult! Also, I was totally wondering if I would be one of those people falling off the seat in the rowboat. I mean, I've used a rowing machine at the gym, but...

The who does what mis-reads at least make a little sense because that was confusing. But messing up on the walk versus other transport is Amazing Race 101.
