Season 16 = Dumbest Cast Ever...?
Caelestor:
Conclusion: I wouldn't say this cast is the dumbest, but it's one of the least fun to watch, perhaps even worse than TAR 6's.

--- Quote ---Michael: Again, we didn’t have a U-Turn after we got rid of Joe & Heidi. We let everyone think we had a U-Turn – and we wanted the others to pick [Carol & Brandy].

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.

Luke, if you were Carol and Brandy, would you do the same as they did at the Finish Line? :tup:

Haha well I actually was waiting for someone to U-Turn us! I knew we were a strong and threat team and had a great chance of making to the Final Three so I fully expected my team to be U-Turned!!! I'm glad that Tammy and Victor stayed true to the deal we made. But, no, I would've not done what Carol and Brandy did at the Finish Line.

I still think Caite's facial expression made for good entertainment and at least we got a bit more than just the "cheyne cheyne cheyne..." "brian, brian, brian..." "sam, sam, sam..." last season

The question is, do I like boring but generally nice teams that freak out occasionally, or teams with inflated egos that rant throughout the season? The only reason why I ranked TAR 16 higher is because it seemed as though the producers put a bit more thought into planning tasks...

Do you think they should do away with having the U-Turn available next season?
