Also, Dan and Jordan have to battle through their fear of heights... on a thing that looks like a Singaporean version of the London Eye.

I don't know about the U-Turn. I get a stolen cab vibe from what I saw in the preview.

It was one - going to the other detour.. bad decision by Steve.. and two... seriously, cab drivers.
But i can't deny and say that if Allie was able to do the flag pole, they wouldn't have been eliminated.
So this is yet another, 1/2 gender discrimination RB. I would have loved to see Carol and Brandy try and complete it and freaking out totally just for pure entertainment purposes. :D

Going to the other Detour might not have been a bad decision in and of itself, since Allie might not have been able to do the pole Detour anyway. But deciding to abandon their cab and walk was a big error, and they were also at the mercy of a bad taxi driver. The switching Detours was just the final nail in their coffin.

Good episode, not the best for me. Editing was kind of rough (what was with the random music after Jet & Cord and Carol & Brandy checked in? Some kind of poorly put together ominous foreshadowing?), Detour was interesting, liked the Roadblock, and the complete reversal was very impressive. Didn't like that it forced out Steve & Allie though. :(
And the taxis were the drawback of the episode for me. I won't go further into this.
And what a surprise: This leg we the return of Louie & Michael's self-righteous attitude as they decide to target yet another team for not being likable/positive enough for them. And Steve & Allie and Dan & Jordan just go along with it. :groan:
I predict Carol & Brandy out after being U-turned next leg. Possibly just because of the U-turn. :P

6-5-4-3-2-1 became 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Amazing!!
I think we only have a first-to-last and last-to-first leg in S10(leg 5 and 6 ). A complete reversal is just unbelievable!!!!

I was just about to come in and comment on that.
That was freaky. Because for a team to go from last to first and a team from first to last... is hardly possible.

Haha. It could be surprising if only one happens on one leg. But both happening on the SAME leg. Oh my gosh you have to wonder what could've happened.
Also, how could everyone in the middle get reversed too?? Luck really doesn't pick sides IMO.

Actually, IMO everything started going downhill for them after that idiotic taxi driver who said the temple was 4-5 mins. away by walking. After that, he still took them to the wrong temple. So basically, they had nearly no other choice than to try the flag detour (which I doubt they could've completed) unless they wander around Penang all day.
IMO if they had not stayed with their taxi driver at the wrong temple and found a new one like Dan/Jordan did, they could've beat the bros.
