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!). So does the RB come before or after the Detour?

It is true that somehow J/T finish the detour first.
I tended to think that the RB is first in this leg but after some quick research I found something odd. More often than not the RB is before the Detour, however in U-turn legs they are not. Only once has a RB preceded the U-turn detour... odd. (Anyone know remember what RB that was?)
Maybe they bend that rule on this one in order to make the double u-turn the dramatic showdown.

Really hard to judge that leg. J/T were not delayed by the bad music judge as the other teams that did the music task were. They did finish the film detour first....but Michael/Kevin beat them to the RB and finished that before J/T. If not for Kevin's stubborness....they would have probably finished 2nd on a flawed leg. J/T are pretty inefficient to me. They got lost in Kiruna and lost contact with all the other teams, which forced them to use the Express Pass. They switched detours at the circus, twice. They are good team, but lots more helter skelter than the Lady Docs. As far as the edits we are seeing, J/T seem to me to waste a lot of energy. Lots more than the Docs.

That is definitely a good description of J\T, doc. But why are you not considering B\C in your equation?

I think the RB is first and I think, come Sunday, we will see all 5 teams there at the same time. We see Claire, Jill and Chad....so that means that Thomas, Brooke and Stephanie are doing it. Then we have Chad's quote harassessing Nat while she is doing it. That leaves Nick/Vick....since it doesn't involve heights, I am assuming that Nick does it and with his experience with he motorcycle, he might even finish first......who would have thought????
I have said a long time back that I think this leg is a NEL......I still feel the same way, with the introduction of the W-Turn.

Why put two teams in a fight to survive and then not eliminate either one?
The fact that they are all there and the drama factor supports the idea that they will break tradition and do the RB first.
Like the term W-turn :tup: ;)
