Well, they were in last place, and they probably didn't feel they could catch up to Jeff & Jordan, and they were so frustrated that they just gave up. But yeah -- they would've had a 24-hour penalty if they hadn't been Philiminated.
And I guess Joe & Heidi went the way of Amanda & Kris -- although Amanda & Kris were much nicer than Joe appears to be. Louie & Michael's decision was (mostly) personal, whereas Luke's decision was more strategic.

Seriously!!!!!!!!!!! MICHAEL AND LOUIE!!! You guys are frickin' idiot. There's no room to make a revenge if it's not all about strategies because that will come and haunt Michael and Louie for u-turning Joe & Heidi!
What they should have done is U-Turn Jet & Cord (the strongest team on the race) and put personal feelings aside!!! They should've grabbed the chance to knock a strong team out, not a weak team out!!! KEEP weak teams around much as possible!!!!!
That's my strategic move for U-Turn Amanda & Kris since they were pretty strong and there's no way I could out-perform Kris with his physical strength and they have been doing pretty well for first three legs. So, I took a first chance to knock them out!!
As if Amanda and Kris' wood stack haven't fell apart, I would've u-turned Tammy & Victor....

To be fair, Joe & Heidi were still a strong team :lol: and on their Additional videos, Mike & Louie make a good point, that the cowboys aren't as well traveled. Besides, U-turning either team could've been useless from their point of view since JeJo were really far behind.
Hooky:
Joe & Heidi. :'(
I agree the U-turn was lousy. Not the decision itself, but the reasoning behind it. "Joe needs to learn a lesson." Yes, maybe he does. But elimination? Now granted, there's no way Louie & Michael could have known the significance of what they were doing at that moment, but based on spoilers, that may well have been a significant reason why they didn't make the F3. If they had done that to Jet & Cord or Dan & Jordan, things may well have turned out differently for them.
If I had been in that situation, I likely would have U-turned Joe & Heidi, but for strategic purpose, not for a pointless incident that rubbed me the wrong way. If not them, I would have chosen Jet & Cord. It really boils down to which team (and their associated strengths) is stronger: the more consistent team or the one that had a peak a couple legs back?
Now that I think about it, either Joe & Heidi, Jet & Cord, or Steve & Allie are the strongest team so far (can't decide which). It's a shame that every U-turn lately means certain doom. :P
And we even get a bonus: at least one more week to watch Jeff & Jordan stink it up at the back of the pack. :groan:
As for the Emmy Episode: This is certainly not the emmy episode for me. I would maybe go with Leg 3 (probably not, actually), but hopefully we haven't reached that episode yet. If we have, it's a shame, because I thought this one was too much of a staging with tasks, and not "genuine" enough. I hate these elaborately set up, staged tasks. They seem like an insult to what the race once was. Plus the editing really wasn't that great. It felt rather clunky instead. The best editing still goes to Leg 2, for me at least.
Sailing:
Joe's knee would not have lasted much longer. I think Mike and Louie should have U-Turned Jet and Cord also. I liked that they thought about getting Allie and Steve out because they have come in second place 3 weeks in a row, but personal feelings creeped in. I think this will come back to bite them and the cowboys will have no problem hurting Mike and Louie down the road.
