I remember you saying that you could still use the U-Turn after the Blind U-Turn because you still had your picture. Either they changed the rules or this is more bumbling by the detectives.

Their decision to U-turn Joe/Heidi was horrible strategically then.
But, their strategy to convince other people to U-turn Carol/Brandy was actually quite brilliant.
I like it that you can only U-turn once, blind or not. This actually means you have to decide when to do it.
We need to see more U-turns though. 4 a season would be nice.

4 U-Turns per a season! Good thing it's not on my season otherwise my mom and I would be toasted!
On my season, we were allowed to do U-Turn twice.
"But, their strategy to convince other people to U-turn Carol/Brandy was actually quite brilliant." I disagree. WAY opposite! It was quite dumb. What if it comes down to the footrace? Best bet that Louie and Michael could beat Carol and Brandy but no way Louie and Michael could beat Jet and Cord in the footrace.
Trust me. Footrace is a huge factor sometimes. Take a look at MoJo, Tyler & BJ and Jeremy & Eric's infamous footrace in Australia. Jill and John Vito versus Ken and Gerard in Switzerland. That was one of small reasons that we u-turned Amanda and Kris because there's no way that my mom could beat Kris in the footrace. Now the U-Turn just bite Louie and Michael's butt for not taking an advantage to U-Turn Jet and Cord twice which could have thrusted themselves into the Final Three.

Oh, you're right. I forgot about the cowboys. :groan:
Yeah, I'd like to see Jet/Cord win the whole thing just to show how idiotic some of the other teams this season have been.

Guys, one thing to note that this season, thanks to Brent & Caite's upset win in Shanghai 2, the final 4 have each at least won a leg each. A remarkable achievement considering how hard it is to win a leg.

Lol that'll make my mom happy... she always likes to see everyone win something, more than any one person win a lot. If Brent and Caite hadnt won that leg she'd have probably cheered for them to win it all, just so all the finalists could walk away with something...

Well you look at the final three teams and all have made some sizable mistakes, some really huge, and what should normally be enough to make you lose.
Jet & Cord should be gone one leg they completely blew, saved because of a non elimination. And the reason they were last. Had nothing to do with luck, or bad taxi's, plane problems, or other issues outside their control.
Another leg, they just assumed they knew what they were doing and took off to the wrong damn town. Thats a huge error. Jumping the gun on getting money for the wrong country, huge error. But luckily for them that was an early leg where teams can often survive making a big error.
Dan & Jordan have made a couple, from dropping cabs, to losing equipment, to their largest sticking with a task (which they did succeed at) but took them hours, hours longer then the field task. That was a huge mistake.
And then we have Brent & Caite, lord where to begin.....
