Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it

Not necessarily true. Used to only be one, Season 29 was not limited.

I thought you were only allowed to use the u turn again if it wa blind the first time

People jumped to conclusion that Jody and Skiers were in the front because of the info that there were only two teams with females left and they were ahead of the pack. Now we know it's not true, Lifeguards and Debaters are still in it as well. From the available photos i don't see any proof that Jody are in front.
I think, most plausible scenario:

- Skiers show up to U-Turn first, freeze not sure what to do
- Debaters, Lifeguards, Twins catch up to them, all of them together decide not to use it
- Jody show up later, realize they are in the back of the pack and use U-Turn on Violinists to be safe

That's what I think as well. I don't think Jody swooped in that fast while the skiers were right there and hen everyone else showed up

This makes the most sense from what we've seen.

Was Jody after the pack at the u turn? I'm confused because the board was blank when everyone was there and then they used it?
I don’t think so the hotel said Jody and the skiers were the first two teams to the clue and that they were four hours ahead of the last place team

If that was the first clue the leg usually is 4+ hours. If Jody was 4 hours ahead of everyone they could have crawled thru this leg and won, so may  not be accurate.

Also remember that ANYTHING can happen in 4 hours. WHat the order is at the start of a leg in no way reflects what the order will be at the end.

Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.

There is a picture of Jess and Cody on the other side of the hedge from the U-Turn, and no pictures are up yet.  This makes me think that at least one leg of the detour was at this location, and maybe Jody hasn't completed it yet.

In another picture it does look like the skiers are at the U-Turn with a bunch of teams looking on, but we can't see the actual picture area.  I would surmise that this happened after Jody U-Turned the violinists.

This is plausible too but I have seen teams go right by clues and U-turns too.  The girls seem like they fly right by it??

Just playing devils advocate, whoever took the pic that close to the upturn board could have been a troll after the leg was over and put those pics up

Every season you could use only one u-turn, blind or not, but in S29 you can use as many as you want as shown by Tara & Joey
Don't forget once you use a u turn you can no longer use it again. So the next u turn that comes Jody can't use it

Not necessarily true. Used to only be one, Season 29 was not limited.

This seems to detail the tasks, sorry if it was already posted, my computer is blocking some photos.

That Kafka task could be challenging.  (I had to save the photo and enlarge it there to read it.)  The article link didn't load for me.

They let a stranger with a camera get that close up to the board to take the pic so it's not impossible, other thing I was thinking was maybe prod was getting shots to explain the uturn like they usually do

Is it possible to ask about time stamps on these pics?

I'm not very tech literate but there are ways to see location and time on photos-- do we have any time stamps on these photos?

You mean they may have been decoy racers, since they are so widely recognized?  That was my thought too.  If you mean a completely fake tweet/photo by production and NBA is really in Prague?  Wow.

I see the skiers getting clue card with the other teams and then see them all at the U-turn.  Yet they are seen by smiles90 running alone down that path and running to Phil & mat (alone?) no photos of other teams here.  Photos of Jody and Violinist around the same street (same photographer) so we can deduce same time-frame. Yet Jody gets to U-turn and uses it to turn Violinist because they are a threat to them.
We can assume if photos are taken is a same batch by the same photographer that it's probable that the timing is close too?

Fact is, the information from the hotel that Jody were in front of the others by 4 hours doesn't make sense.
Maybe they meant that the were 4 hours in front of the last team. That MIGHT be right.

It's pretty based on photos that all of Skiers/Lifeguards/Debaters/Twins were close together, and Jody must have been behind Skiers, with violinists likely behind.

Just playing devils advocate, whoever took the pic that close to the upturn board could have been a troll after the leg was over and put those pics up
What do you mean?

What does this have to do with production? They were photos taken by a local, not production.

No, we don't know that.
