Just curious. Can two teams play the Express Pass in the same leg?
Jimmer:
With the exception of Season 27 (where the team who won the second Express Pass after the first team played it), there is no rule saying that two teams can't play it on the same leg.

This happened on the first AND second seasons of TAR China.

In TAR Asia 4 leg 7, Hussein & Natasha got 4 hours penalty for not completed their RB task, they serviced their penalty at leg 7 pitstop before Allan Wu handed them next clue
In TAR Australia 2 leg 7 Joseph & Grace also got 2 hours penalty for removing a teams' bags from a taxi, they serviced their penalty at leg 7 pitstop before Grant Bowler handed them next clue
In TAR 18 (UB) leg 4 Kent & Vyxsin got 2 hours penalty for not book a the assigned flight, but they serviced their penalty in leg 5 rather than leg 4

Neil & Kristin and Simi & Ope both got the penalties for qutting Face-Off task and serviced their penalties at leg 5 pitstop because Jon Montgomery handed them next clue
I am also curious about this inconsistency. ??? Perhaps this rule in the US version is the only one differing from the rule in the Int'l versions. Jeck & RR of TAR Ph 2 also incurred a penalty at the end of Leg 5 (and not Leg 6) for not being able to perform a task in Leg 5 for safety reasons.

Zack.:
I had two thoughts on it. Either
a) Production, realizing teams would be bunched, enforced K/V's penalty on leg 5 so that it wouldn't be rendered moot, or
b) Production, wanting to move things along and noting that K/V were already in last, applied the penalty for them the first chance they could get, which would be the leg 5 pit stop, much like how time penalties on the US version for last place teams are added to their release time from the Pit Start.
