Had the Express Pass been given since season one, i think Debbie and Bianca, Rob and Amber and a few other teams would have loved it. :lol:

It is a race!!! Racing against the time!!
Honestly, I like the idea of U-Turn. Amanda & Kris could have overcome the U-Turn if they haven't left the wood stack task in 1st place.
For Jen & Kisha, everyone know they could have overcome the U-Turn if Jen only decide to pee on herself. :lol3:
You just need to be wise and strategic of how to overcome the U-Turn. It's not that impossible.

I too like the u-turn, but has anyone ever overcome it?

I think a team did in Israel's version, but that version's legs are long and spread out over two episodes, so that was easy enough for them. And just recently, Dimple & Sunaina did on TARA4.
On this version, though? No, not yet.

I think Amanda & Kris had little chance to overcome their U-Turn, but I agree that Jen & Kisha had the opportunity to overcome theirs! Still, I think it's much harder to overcome the U-Turn than it is to overcome the Yield (which proceeded the U-Turn).

DrRox:
It depends on what you mean by "overcoming" the U-turn. Kisha and Jen finished the both detours BEFORE Jamie/Cara finished one detour. To me that means they overcame the U-turn. Further, Kisha/Jen arrived at the Roadbock before Jamie/Cara and left the Roadblock before Jamie/Cara. So again....they were ahead. Here is where it went bad for Kisha/Jen. They got a bad taxi driver. From post race interviews, he drove very slow and apparently wasnt really sure where to go. He dropped them off at the very far limit of the Olympic stadium park. They had to walk a long way. On the other hand, Jamie and Cara's taxi drove right to the right side of the park and the correct side of the Birds nest stadium. All the teams had a hard time finding the Pit Stop mat...If I remember correctly, J/C finished about 20 minutes before K/J and I really doubt that it took her that long to go to the bathroom in that Port-a- Potty.
So to me, they overcame the U-turn, but not the bad taxi driver. Many others have a different opinion, I am sure.
