It heightens the drama and energy for the remainder of the Race because teams will know they have no room for error after this leg; and it will rack up the killer fatigue to near-records heights.

Yeah......exactly what he said. If anything, this season can be called the season of unpredictability.....

That, and it makes everyone WAYYY more cutthroat and prone to sabotaging each other....which isn't a bad thing.

I said all along that I thought there should be a NEL at F5, to make things unpredictable. I'm just not sure that there will be.

Since you have only been a member here for 18 days, I will give you the benefit of doubt.
If you had been here after Amanda and Kris were eliminated on a U-turn leg in TAR 13 14 or Joe/Heidi were eliminated on a U turn leg in TAR 16......and heard all the howling and moaning about how unfair it was........maybe you could see the BEAUTY in having a double U turn leg and no elimination.........
And how do you know that "No one" wants it to be a NEL.....that presumes you know what everyone wants, which you don't. It's not really "wanting", it's about predicting/forecasting/speculating it. It seems more like you don't want it to be a NEL and that is okay too.
Edited to correct the TAR13/14 Typo

Very well said Dr. Rox. :tup: I'd love this to be an NEL, I don't want a team to be out because of the W-Turn.
Nettez:
It's fully possible that it may be an NEL - CBS has learnt to change things after so many years! However, based on all the deductions made for the F4 and F3, I just hope it isnt :P Oh yeah, so it appears that there is a bunching point for the teams, right? I think N/K were pretty far behind all the teams after the leg in Oman. Also I wonder if N/K are in front of the teams when they choose who to U-Turn... I thought they'd be viewed as threats :P
