I personally think it's going to be a detour.
If Jill and Thomas kept their Express Pass, they could use it to skip the FF, and that would be very boring right?

I don't get you... why would Jill and Thomas want to skip a FF Task if they're actually going to complete it? I mean, with the FF you're definitely going to be in first.. why do you want to use your Express Pass on a non-emergency situation?

To get a super huge lead and to prevent other teams from taking it?

And defeat all purpose of the EP?

Dude, I don't think so, okay. If you cannot complete the fast-forward, you're screwed, but if you can use the express pass on a fast-forward, it defeats the purpose of the both the Express Pass and the Fast-forward. The fast-forward is a reward that if the team can complete the challenge, they get a free pass to skip all the tasks.

Unless one of the teams actually bypassed a team doing the Fast Forward like in Season 10. :jumpy:

Well all we know is the EP is used to skip ONE TASK........
I could see it being used on a FF if the situation was the same as Nick/Starr and Terrance/Sarah in TAR13......if T/S had the EP.....they could have skipped actually eating the horrid food and gone on to the Mat, while N/S were still eating.
In the current TAR 17.....if Jill/Thomas still had the EP......they could go to the FF challenge..if Nat/Kat were still eating, they could use the EP to skip eating and claim the FF clue and go to the mat......leaving Nat/Kat to go find the orginal roadblock/detour.
If Nat/Kat had already claimed the FF clue......then J/T could go skip whichever task was next.......the RB or Detour and catch back up or even get ahead if it was that bridge deal......that is going to take a while if they have to use ascenders to get back up to the bridge.
So far looks like the sheep's head is probably the FF. The bridge deal is the RB and one of the detours is the mountain biking. Looks like they have to ride up the mountain to me.

Yea TAR 13's FF fight between Nick and Starr and Terrence and Sarah remains as the only instance i can think of where the EP would be of extreme advantage. Another instance would be maybe when Brandon and Nicole refused to do the head shaving task, instead of heading back.. they could have used the EP. But both situation count as instances where you want to use the EP in a state of emergency still.. and as i was saying, nobody in their right mind will use their EP, even though they know they're the only one going for the FF.
