TAR14 EP4: 'It Was Like a Caravan of Idiots'(Siberia)
Max:
"picture pulling" or "number selecting"--either way would work. This would avoid the neutralizing effect of selecting a team in the forefront (ala Kynt and Vyxsin selecting Don & Nick)
Max:
If the first team to arrive at the u-turn MUST select a team to be u-turned, you could not select a team that was ahead of you. Whether it is a random picture pull or a deliberate number select, the result could impact the outcome of the race.
Jobby:
I wouldn't like it if a U-TURN becomes compulsory. I'm pretty sure it might just be a team using their U-TURN on another team for no particular reason. That would be pretty blind and stupid. So i can say Tammy and Victor or any of the top pack teams won't get U-TURNed because it would have then be seen as a strategic move and not a "blind" move.
SingularStars:
Does this mean Christie and Jodi are safe this week, if they're somehow in the front of the pack?
Max:
Joab,I know we're a little off topic here since this thread is about the next episode--but my personal opinion is that each racing team should use all the devices available to enhance their standing in the race. In the last few seasons racers have demurred from using the u-turn or it's predecessor "the yield" because they did not want to incur any hard feelings. It's a race, you're in it to win! Use whatever is available. And sometimes things have to change to keep things moving and interesting--like each team member doing an equal number of roadblocks. :2cents:
Anyway, it's only speculation.
