♥♥♥ TAR14: "Margie" & Luke Adams - Mother & Son
Kiwi Jay:
Kisha and Jen? that was probably it!!
slayton:
Luke, if you had gotten to the second U-Turn, and had seen that it was unused, without knowing where Tammy & Victor were, would you and your Mom have U-Turned Tammy & Victor without hesitation?
What do you think about teams using the U-Turn/Yield to settle personal grudges instead of using it to eliminate strong teams?
Finally, did you and your Mom ever seriously consider U-Turning Kisha & Jen because of the fight?
Thanks.

To answer your question, Slayton...
There's no questions that Mom and I would U-Turn Tammy & Victor in Beijing in a second if we knew we were ahead of them. But, if Tammy & Victor were ahead of us and didn't use U-Turn and we were next there, we would have u-turned Kisha & Jen in order to save Jaime & Cara.
I really hate how the teams only use U-Turn/Yield for personal reasons, not strategic reasons to eliminate strongest team. That annoys me pretty much. The Million Dollars' at the stake!
About u-turning Kisha & Jen, if we got a chance to do that, the fight won't be the reason, it'll be more as strategic reason since it was impossible to beat them in the footrace. Our U-Turn Target Order: Tammy & Victor then Kisha & Jen then Jaime & Cara.
Hindsight, Tammy & Victor should have u-turned us, not Kisha & Jen! I think the only one reason they didn't u-turned us so that way they wouldn't look like complete fool for forcing me to do a Chinese Waiter task which I couldn't hear & talk at all. I guess that's what saved my mom and me and propelled into the Final Three.
slayton:
Thanks for the response, Luke.
About Tammy & Victor not U-Turning your team, in one of the insider videos for your season, Tammy & Victor, in a taxi in India, talked about how you and your Mom gave them money in one of the legs.
That might have played a role in their decision to not U-Turn your team.

Oh that's right! I completely forgot about money we gave to Tammy & Victor in India. When they asked me for some money to lend them since they were pretty short with their money. At first, I was skeptical about giving them some money but then Mom made a valid point, "Since they need our help now and we might need their help down the road so don't turn them away, Luke. That may benefits us later." I guess we made a right move.
