Are you sure she's not just dropping them?

There is no conveyor system so she's dropping them on accident. There is a 45 second video on Youtube showing a guy balancing bricks on his head and walking off the boat to transport them.

Nice find to back up what I was saying, that's exactly what they are doing. The poster of that video said that is a common sight in Bangladesh. I tend to think that that detour choice is the harder one.
They wish they had that guy :lol:

They're going to wish they had him and some shorbot after working so hard! It's the harder choice but most likely the fastest since J/T choose it.

No, it's not most likely the fastest choice because J\T choose it. J\T are bad at choosing tasks.

Nat & Kat decide not to U-turn
Jill & Thomas u-turned Brook & Claire
Nick & Vicki u-turned Chad & Stephanie
First team arrived at the pit stop is Nat & Kat
Last to pitstop : Chad & Stephanie

Personally, I think you have hit the nail on the head. It's the same conclusion I came too at the moment...I will hold off final judgement till we see if we get more promos this week.It will be interesting to see how it works out this week.
The Doc Ladies have been cruelly efficient when they havent had bad luck. Bad luck with 1st taxi driver in Ghana, saved by 2nd taxi driver. Then Ghana II is linear leg, so they cant really move up. Bad music judge in Russia I...then bad map in Oman. They are looking more and more like Nick/Starr and Meagen/Cheyne the farther we go.

They do reach the U-Turn before B/C and C/S, and they are pretty efficient too (as much as I'd hate to say it....in Russia 1 especially). If it's not the fastest choice, then there will have to be issues with pressing the sugarcane that sets the other teams behind. I can see N/V choosing the bricks too since it's right up their alley :D (in a good way of course!).
Does the RB come before or after the Detour? The three teams shown at the RB choose the same Detour option, so I kinda think it comes first. N/K may get a solid 3rd with J/T and N/V in the front.
