Maybe this leg was meant to be the NEL and CBS did not change the press release or did not get the notice :lol: ? How could Phil tell Tiff and Maria that they were saved by a NEL after they quit? :colors

But in competition you don't quit. I would respect them more to walk to the Pit Stop and face the Philinator.
To Quote the Family Edition, quiters never win, and winners never quit. Even when you are the losers, you still are winners.

Agree.. I dun mind they keep trying like Lena and Phil come over and said you girls can stop it..
Is better that way than quitting.. :groan:

but these cases are very different. In LK's case there was still the possibility to find a clue. in MT's case the wind was making it impossible to sink the ball in.

But you still don't just say I want to quit the race, even Mika & Canaan didn't do that. You go to Phil and take your lumps. That could be elimination (most likely) or it could be a horrendous penalty (that would still most likely cause your elimination) but you don't just quit the show.

How would they find the pit stop? They would have to finish the detour, to get the clue to the Pit Stop. But lots of "dangling participles" in this episode. Are M/T really eliminated? They definitely said they wanted to quit, but are they elminated? Do we get a surprise explanation at the start of the next episode?
In TAR1, Momily got a 24 your penalty for using incorrct transportation in the middle of a detour. Yet in TAR15, B/E get only a 30 minute penalty for using incorrect transportation in the middle of a detour.
Certainly will be fun to see what happens next week.
theschnauzers:
My recollection is that when Marshall/Lance quit the roadblock in TAR 5 because of Marshall's injury, Phil never actually told them they were eliminated, rather he came to where they were at the roadblock task, and they confirmed to Phil that they wanted to quit the Race.
Except for the fact that this was a detour, this was essentially what Phil did with Maria/Tiffany. They thus become only the second team not to complete a detour.
The gals would have been eliminated anyway for not completing the detour, and one level it doesn't matter whether it was a 2 hour, 4 hour, or 24 hour penalty. All the other teams has checked in, and they were going to be eliminated.
Otherwise, this was an immensely entertaining leg.
I suspect the press release is off a week. It makes complete sense to me that the NEL would be next week, because of the history of the hay bale task. And an NEL in Sweden would fit the TAR detectives' findings about the ferry on the following leg.
mswood:
Well others have done it (Hayden and Aaron quit their task and were directed to the Pit Stop), so they should be able to get there. Hell Mika & Canaan didn't finish the task and I assume they were either directed to the Pit Stop or just took the clue.
Or you do like other teams Kellie & Jamie who weren't able to light the target on fire with the flaming arrows, so they tried and kept trying (and eventually had no hope she couldn't even pull the Bow properly) until Phil showed up and told them they were eliminated.
Peter & Sarah never quit (boy were they lost) and production had to direct them to a location so Phil could eliminate them.
But you don't just say I want to quit. Because thats what happened (at least by footage) They want to quit, they tell production, Phil comes to them to confirm and they are gone.
It's different.
