TAR14 EP11:'He Made Me Look Like Alice Cooper'/'No More Mr. Nice Guy'

Just speculating....

If T/V use the U-turn, I don't see them U-turning M/L.  T/V would mostly like either choose J/C because of the taxi cab issue from the previous night, or more likely K/J since they know that they can not beat K/J in a foot race.  Since TAR final legs sometimes have things involving speed of foot, it might be better for them to U-Turn K/J since T/V seem to be able to out footrace the other remaining teams.  By U-turning K/J, they should be able to guarantee K/J's elimination.  This would benefit them since they know bunching is generally planned for the final leg and they would be the fastest left for any land speed activities by foot.  Not politics, just good strategy.  I could see Victor U-turning K/J and saying "no more mr nice guy".

J/C would most likely U-Turn K/J.  I don't see them U-turning M/L because of the alliance.  I don't think they are going to beat T/V to the U-turn.  But that leaves K/J to U-turn which J/C would feel they are doing M/L a favor.

In the picture of T/V standing together, you can see the top of the gnome's hat and face in Victor's arms.

It is not a literal statement. It is figurative and its meaning is crystal clear. It means "do something that the other team will interpret as nasty."

--- End quote ---

I think it is a good idea to briefly think about the literal meaning of "throwing someone under the bus".  In last episode we spend a good deal of time speculating who would U-Turn Kisha & Jen, and it turned out that they kept switching tasks.  Maybe someone will find a bus depot (Google Earth) near the location of the U-Turn sign and the literal meaning might make more sense.

We have to be careful about this theme because we do not want a  :angel: from puddin

rpierson915:
Ok, another question. I hope I can ask this is a way that makes sense! In an earlier picture of C/J, where one of them is holding what appears to be either a U-Turn clue or their courtesy of pic, it looks like they are outside on a sidewalk, but the picture of the U-Turn clue box appears to be inside. Does this mean anything? Would it be more likely that C/J were U-Turned and not the ones who U-Turned another team?

Coutzy:
To me, it looks like T/V are at the Roadblock at roughly the same time that K/J and C/J are walking in their make up, so it looks like they have a solid lead and will probably repeat the domination of a leg that we saw in leg 2.

PS. Thanks for the screencaps and script.
