U-Turn = Automatic Elimination?

(1/4) > >>

Competitor:
Hey All,

Anybody know the percentages of people who actually survive getting U-turned? I know in TAR16 that Carol and Brandy as well as Joe and Heidi were eliminated in the leg that they got U-turned. I don't remember a U-turn in TAR15 and I know Kris and Amanda were gone after Margie and Luke U-turned them in season 14. I can't remember much before then. You would think that the producers would occasionally work a Non Elimination Leg into the same legs that have U-turns but we haven't seen that in a while.

AmazingDT:
there were a total of 9 U turns so far

7 were used, 5 were ELimination

of all U turns (used and non used,) about 56 % were ELs.
of used U turns 71 percent were ELs

(sam revealed tat on leg 3 (Tar 15) there was a blind u turn
it was used but the target was ahead of them

Cocoa:
Here we go again..... :groan:

I would think so, but what would happen to Joe/Heidi if they can't complete both sides of the detour? Go for the 4-hour penalty I guess.

Dånooky:
The U-Turn would be best played when both Detours are relatively near each other. IMO, Jen & Kisha could have survived their U-Turn if they hadn't gotten lost.
