Burnie & Ashely (S28) alongside Kelsey & Joey (S27) are the only two teams to have 5 consecutive second place finishes :gaah:
Brodie & Kurt (S28) now holds the record for having the highest average placing for 5th placers (2.6), previously held by Abbie & Ryan (S21) (Similarly both are eliminated by u-turn plan of other teams)

Joey & Meaghan also eliminated by u-turn plan of other teams

To be more specific:
Both Abbie & Ryan and Brodie & Kurt are eliminated in 5th by the Twinnie U-turn Strategy (TUS, or TUTS ??? ). They have been the only known victims in the US version, and both did not survive the TUS.
Tbh, the TUS is too deadly of a move for someone to survive in. It's worse than being single U-turned. :funny:

Why is it worse? I think it has the same effect right with a single U-turn??
^ Looks like it's still is allowed based on what happened to B&K. There's no reason to prohibit it, I guess? It's just a brutal way to use the W-turn.

It has the same effect, but like you said, it's more brutal, making the U-turn victim think there's still another U-turn slot but it was blocked by another team.
Even Abbie & Ryan were confused with the TUS in their season, and when they thought they could U-turn their friends to be with them, it didn't happen. Compare this with Abbie & Ryan expecting their faces on a single U-turn. They would know early on that they won't have a chance. The TUS was a surprise attack on them.
RaceUntilWeDie:
In seasons 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27, a F/F team made the F6.
In seasons 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27, a F/F team made the F5.
In seasons 21, 22, 24, 25, and 27, a F/F team made the F4.
In seasons 22, 24, and 25, a F/F team made the F3.
Season 28 has the weakest F/F teams since 19 :groan: *26 obviously N/A...
