You mustn't watch the American version very much because they fight over and complain about cabs all the time. Everything that happened with the cabs on this week's episode has happened numerous times on the American version over the years.
One thing the Americans have started doing is leaving their bags in a cab because it's against the rules for a team to interfere with another team's possessions. Even that doesn't always work because some cab drivers have removed a team's bags from their cab in order to take a different team. There was also the team who had their cab driver leave with their bags in his trunk and they got eliminated because one of the guys had his passport in his missing bag.

They didn't have a choice. When they showed a close-up of the clue, it specified who had to do the task for each team. Each racer can only do a maximum of 6 Road Blocks prior to the final leg. Simi had already done her 6, so Ope had to do it.
The only team that actually had a choice on the Road Block was Gino & Jesse because they had previously won a Fast Forward and avoided a previous Road Block, so they had each only done 5.
