I also get the feeling that somehow Lolo are gonna finish 2nd to last

So they revealed the W-turn on purpose? Or maybe just because they didn't block the W-turn board properly unlike TAR28 Leg 10's. Either way the giveaway makes me think why.

So they revealed the W-turn on purpose? Or maybe just because they didn't block the W-turn board properly unlike TAR28 Leg 10's. Either way the giveaway makes me think why.

New to the forum, so I have some stupid questions.
What is the difference between W-turn and u-turn?
Also, what is "fwiw" (as in Zack.'s post "fwiw Scott is wearing a different shirt as he attempts to bungee jump so I'm inclined to think it's at the start of the next leg.")? And what does ARI mean? Some people have been talking about "running ARI" or something like that.

Thank you, and I'm sorry for the stupid questions 

[Zack.]

In order:

1 - to RFF!
2 - W-Turn, if you say it verbally is literally "double U-Turn" as opposed to the single U-Turn in TAR 27 and early seasons.
3 - "fwiw" is for what it's worth because I'm lazy 
4 - "ARI" is "active route info", which is a task that teams do in addition to the standard roadblock and Detour; the most recent one I can think of is in the Norway leg when teams had to eat the fish.

Hope that helps 

[thehumerus]

Thank you so much! That helps a lot

Tara & Joey's motives make me think this time. Why Becca & Floyd? I'm guessing because Matt & Red was right behind them, and they didn't want to pull a Kynt & Vyxsin? What if Becca & Floyd was ahead of them, and they used it to really put Mike & Liz way behind, or maybe they didn't know Becca & Floyd was ahead or behind? I guess I can only wait and see it myself.

As for Brooke & Scott, I think it's typical of Brooke to need the cushion in case she whines and slows down the team in a certain task later on. It reminds me of Joey & Meghan U-turning Chunk & Wynona because they are the team they can surely beat.

Becca and Floyd are one of the strongest teams

The RB looks like Zappeion Mansion/Hall.

[amazingracefanforum]

The order makes sense, as I say Brooke/Scott should be in front of the other 2 teams to decide to use the U-turn.
a
Not sure the motives of mom/dad using it on Team fun, as M/L still got a Speed Bump and then a u-turn, very likely cannot catch up. Why don't leave the choice open for M/L to use?

But to be honest I think all are so strange that even at this stage, no one thinks about u-turning Matt/Redmond? Don't they see they are the biggest threat?


Comment to the above post:  I am super glad that team Matt and Redmond are not U turned.  They already got U turned previously ... give them a break!  Also, although I am a team Matt and Redmond fan, I really don't think they will make the final 3.

As for Brooke & Scott, I think it's typical of Brooke to need the cushion in case she whines and slows down the team in a certain task later on. It reminds me of Joey & Meghan U-turning Chunk & Wynona because they are the team they can surely beat.

Close enough, but not exactly.

Just saying that my guess was close but not quite. I often talk to myself in person, so nothing unusual there, hehe.
