EP 10 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
theschnauzers:
Clearly, the big news out of this leg is the change in the penalty for quitting a detour. It had been 24 hours (that was the case a couple of seasons back when Maria and Tiffany quit the detour in the Netherlands in TAR 15. But it's apparently now 6 hours -- but the detour choices are becoming even more difficult.
And the fact that Vicki did the roadblock seems to confirm that Nick has reached the maximum he's permitted to do, as I suggested after last week's episode.
And the placement average for the top 3 teams continue to be as close as you can get without having ties. (0.2 placements between the top three teams. Nick and Vicki are now averaging 5.4000 and there are only four teams left!)

Penalty for quitting Detour not RB...

True Peach.....but I think Danooky was talking about the roadblock limit a team member can do.....Nick has done 6 RBs so far and thats why Vicki said she had to do the Roadblock.
Goldeneye:
I now wonder if TPTB changed the penalty starting this season to six hours for quitting a detour after that U-turn that eliminated Joe and Heidi last season in France with a task that they couldn't complete (the Morse Code one).

I'm sorry if this is a bother but I've always wondered what TPTB means :duno: . I know every acronym but that.
