The team will already be losing undetermined amount of time performing another task, why make them lost more time travelling? And also, the other side of the U-TURN must be something that can be done and completed.. Seriously, who knows MORSE CODE? It made me piss when Joe and Heidi got eliminated and it is not because i liked them but because it is not their own fault that they were gone.
And i think we're thinking too much into the Express Pass, like we did for the Speedbump. It's going to be like literally like what it's name suggest, that one team can choose to skip a task. But maybe getting the Express Pass might be something difficult. I don't think the producers would like to have teams constantly harping on the fact that they can skip a task.. I want to believe that the producers will not go into such an extent as to allow all the teams to have one chance to skip a task at any one point throughout the entire race...

Perhaps they need to give up their money or possessions for it? Some sort of trade-off, perhaps?

how about exchange skipping a task and then having to complete a speedbump on the next leg?

I know morse code, as does anyone who was in the Boy Scouts or was an ham radio enthusiast (pre-internet nerd) during the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
Most people know at least 2 letters - s and o - so they can send an sos when their ship starts sinking...

HiddenPerson:
I've always thought that the u-turn was a stupid twist -- it's way to hard to make up time.
They should just bring back classic TAR with the yield. The way it was back when I loved it.
walkingpneumonia:
Since the "Express Pass" was known about by the racers in Logan, I wonder if they received a physical pass (like a passport) at the beginning of the race, with instructions on how to use it?
I'm guessing its something that allows a team one time to strategically bypass any task at any time in the race. I would use it if I got U-Turned and was in danger of being eliminated.
