Season 16 = Dumbest Cast Ever...?
Cocoa:
I hope the producers won't develop another killer machine....
PHIL: "This is the only DEAD END that will on the entire Amazing Race Franchise. At this point, one team can use their powers to exercise the Dead End against one team, forcing that team TO BE ELIMINATED from the race."
:snicker: :lol3:
So better thank we still have U-turn!
The Dead End Twist is just a fantasy game twist, it is NOT for REAL and hope that IT IS NOT REAL :lol:

--- 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:
--- End quote ---
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.

Do you think they should do away with having the U-Turn available next season?
--- End quote ---
The U-turn has the negative connotation that if used properly, it knocks out the target 100% of the time. Right now, it seems too overpowered (though to be fair, Amanda/Kris, Kisha/Jen, and Carol/Brandy were close to making up the lost time). IMO, no the producers will not take it away.
DrRox:
Yield and U-turn are big negatives.......they fit more for Survivor or BB. I always liked TAR for the positives of racing.......not for being a clique and voting people out........aka the yield or U turn. I am just saying........
georgiapeach:
I don't like anything that takes the race out of the racers own hands...whether it be clueless cabbies (prefer self driving or public transportation), or a Yield/Uturn. I wonder be very happy to see those disappear.
mswood:
I disagree (read you are wrong, sorry), I have no problem with any aspect of the race that mirrors normal every day experiences people would have with traveling around the world. That includes language barriers, vehicles breakdowns, and bad taxi's.
Its' the artificial interference that I, how should I put it, HATE with a passion. TAR has designed has always been above that until they created the Yield. Any negatives of the race weren't creations of the producers but just the everyday interactions of people.
By the same idea, I never have been a huge fan of the Fast Forward as it allows teams that don't have the ability to succeed over teams that are performing strong on their own.
Heck even with all the travel problems off season 11, I would rather have that problem (which does happen in real life) then a single Yield or U-Turn).
