oh i came up with a good team name...Vicole
Umm, if you search for "Vicole" here, at least it's mentioned here since last year. So yeah... 🙃
its not guaranteed Vicole team get eliminated, afghanimal lost and almost got last place so better play safe if u in survival mode
the worse scenario is both u-turned teams survive like in leg 2, so better play safe
Yes, there's no guarantee that Victor & Nicole are getting eliminated. But, Afghanimals are also a strong team right? So either way, at least a strong team is eliminated.
Anyway, since it's late in the race and thinking that probably there's no more U-Turn in upcoming legs. Chances if both U-Turned teams survive the leg, there's no more chance to get a "revenge" to the one U-Turn them. Therefore, to vote for two strong teams who are threats for winning a million dollar for me should be a better choice than voting for a weaker team that almost guaranteed not to win the race. Because:
1. At least one strong U-Turned team can get eliminated.
2. If both U-Turned teams are safe, they're not getting any more chance to U-Turn because there's no more U-Turn in upcoming legs.
3. If actually there's another U-Turn in upcoming leg, I believe the remaining teams may focus more on U-Turning a big threat rather than take revenge on who U-Turned them, if they want to race to and win the finale.
If I can compare TAR with Survivor, this leg and upcoming legs should be more like post-merge than pre-merge where you're fighting only for yourself to win by getting rid of big threat who may beat you on the finale, no more getting rid of weak castaway/team that doesn't really threatening. And what Chris & Bret did this time I view it as a move that are made in "pre-merge" phase, not "post-merge" phase.
PS: Watch TAR Asia season 5 to see what I mean, although I hate to see my favorite team getting U-Turned and Yielded in the penultimate leg, but I have to agree that the remaining teams on the finale did a good job for getting rid a strong and dominating team just before the finale, therefore increased their chance to win the race.
