Here's something that might change the game: What if the express pass was never introduced and Rachel & Dave were eliminated in leg 3? (detour switching + roadblock penalty) How would it affect the whole game?

Probably no difference as "VaRalphasaurus" and the soccer twins took a LONG time on their Detour choice. Kerri & Stacy look a while finding the Pit Stop too since there was a photo of Kerri finishing the bottle dance in broad daylight, but arrived at the Pit Stop near pitch darkness.

Rachel & Dave would have probably gotten 6th in Paraguay, but would have still dominated almost every leg originally won from Italy to Hawaii.

What If Bates and Anthony were U-Turned in Germany instead of Joey and Meghan ??

Then nothing would happen as there was no U-Turn in Germany

Oops.. I mean... change the question

What If Mona and Beth and Joey and Meghan got the earlier flight from Germany to Scotland? Who would they U-Turn? Who would be eliminated? Would They , For example Joey and Meghan u turn bates and anthony and mona and beth u turn joey and meghan but as they have passed the wouldnt get u turn?

Only Mona & Beth can use the u-turn since Joey & Meghan used their u-turn power in Vietnam, but if they got on the earlier flight, then they are on the same flight with all the other teams. Bates & Anthony arrived at the u-turn first anyway, so Joey & Meghan would still be u-turned. Mona & Beth have a speedbump, but if they beat Max & Katie at the detour, then Mona & Beth would probably u-turn Max & Katie, if not Caroline & Jennifer. So, if Joey & Meghan and Max & Katie received the u-turn, Max & Katie wouldn't win the leg, and Joey & Meghan would probably be eliminated. (I don't know how long Caroline was doing the roadblock.) However, if Joey & Meghan and Caroline & Jennifer received the u-turn, Caroline & Jennifer go home in Edinburgh. Then on Belfast, either Mona & Beth or Joey & Meghan would receive the F4 boot, and Joey & Meghan might even become underdogs on the final leg if they have survived their 2nd u-turn. Additionally, if Joey & Meghan survived their 2nd u-turn, they'd get the record for the team u-turned twice and still survive in both u-turns.

wow thanks!  how elaborative

That is not entirely true. We have been told a gazillion times that if you use a Blind U-TURN, you are still valid to use the second U-TURN. (Margie and Luke)

Until it is specifically mentioned that by using the Blind U-TURN, you can't use anymore U-TURN.. it still stands that way.

Gary & Mallory were in no way substitutes :lol:

I think they would've raced in place of one of the myriad of TAR14 teams.

If I could choose which team should be replaced, I'd say Mel & Mike. I found a trivia saying Gary & Mallory were the replacements of Brook & Claire. :(
Since when did Brook & Claire have "unfinished business" in their final leg? ??? Without any costly reason, Gary & Mallory were definitely confirmed for this season.
I think TAR14 (Amanda & Kris, Mel & Mike, [maybe] Jaime & Cara) had the replacements because of the odd amount of imbalance with that season. Here's what I think:

Amanda & Kris substituted for Joe & Heidi (Similar situation, but Team Filipinos' race ended more catastrophically)

Mel & Mike substituted for Dan & Andrew :hearts: (Dandrew needed a comeback from their semi-awful performance in TAR13) :lol3:

Jaime & Cara substituted for Maria & Tiffany (The carrot tops just had taxi bad luck, Maria & Tiffany were robbed at the folk Detour)

Who's Team Filipino again?
Weren't Joe & Heidi from a Filipino descent? ???

Joe is Taiwanese like Tammy & Vic, Heidi looks white, but could be Chinese.

Huh? I always thought Joe has Korean ancestry? (not sure)  :stare

I'm sure Tammy and Victor are Chinese like Ronald and Christina... (those Mandarin spoken on the China legs) but I remembered reading from somewhere that are from Korea as well. Ronald and Christina are indeed from Taiwan though.

I saw somewhere on the internet that mentioned that Tammy & Vic has Taiwanese ancestry (but could be wrong).

Would really change things. David and Mary may not get to All Stars and Chos could replace them. Dustin and Kandice could of won assuming they don't get eliminated in Spain.

Ew, that would have been horrid. Lyn & Karlyn <3333333333333333333333333 Don't have anything against the Chos, though.

Honestly, I think that the BQs were better racers than the Chos anyway, and it would be a BQ/Romberly/Maddicts F3 with either BQs or Maddicts winning.

I'm finishing on a Lyn & Karlyn love note, because I'm really happy this didn't happen. <3333333333333333333333333

No, I think it would rather cement David & Mary's AS spot.

I love them both <3 But I don't get OTT BQ fans because really, they weren't that interesting, they just had good placements. They could have easily been INV if it hadn't been for Lyn & Karlyn and their placements.
