Yes. Kynt & Vyxsin's final leg in India had both a Speed Bump and a U-Turn. They had to do yoga for a while, just before Kynt made the stupid decision of ignoring Vyxsin's very good argument and U-Turning the already-in-front-of-them Nicolas & Donald.

Thats what we hear. Only 1 FF was available this season and thats that. As far as the U-Turn I have no idea when and where it might be and I think they are pre-planned FLFan. TPTB don't just stick them where they want just like the NEL legs. And when the next NEL is one could only guess so I'll guess its leg 10 but really have no idea at this point.
If you follow Phils blog he states that the Sisters and Marge/Luke come in mere seconds of each other. What the placings are I don't know but for sure not last.
I'll go with the Mark and Michael being eliminated with the evidence posted through out this topic.

That's why in All-Stars there was a Yield on the leg where Uchenna & Joyce fell way far behind.
I do believe that there was only one Fast Forward but I'm not liking that idea at all. We need Fast Forwards to at least be shown! Then we can wait and see if anyone will take it, rather than knowing that there is no chance of anything surprising happening.

2. If the task is a Detour, then there is NO U-TURN. It would not make any logical sense if the U-turn was at the pitstop.

Maybe there is a second fast-forward and Tammy and Victor took it?

redskinskevin88:
It is not a high probabilty, but yes I think another fast forward is a possiblity and Tammy/Victor taking it could explain some of the observed timing.

Not comfortable with the FF in EP9 either. If it was a FF attempted by T/V, wouldn't T/V have arrived much earlier and have already left the mat area, i.e. not still be around for the meltdown. Of course, T/V could attempt the FF and perform badly enough to justify the "Our parents will cry themselves to death" line. This might cause them to arrive at the mat at approximately the same time as M/L and J/K. In effect, the FF takes as long as the standard task?... Doesn't seem reasonable even for T/V, unless Victor gets stubborn again.

There have been occasions in previous ARs, that teams that take the fast-forward, lose out to teams that didn't take the fast forward, for eg. on one ocassion in amazing race all-stars.
