Racers always wear a wireless microphone. It is normally on the beltline. Everything they say is recorded by the sound man. When racers have to be farther away from the soundman, then they use that chest pack microphone. It is waterproof and more powerful than the belt pack microphone. This enables the racers to be farther away from the soundman.

That is why the roadblock is very crucial... If indeed they were U-turned, then they have to be in the middle who finishes the moped task... and gain at least 30-45 minutes from that task ahead of at least 1 team so that it will be just consumed on the detour tasks... The only thing we need to hope is that Gary was able to help in the calculations of Jet, then others redone the task or lost for quite sometime... I do hope they got U-turned than the ones who could have lost the luggage receipt... Losing the receipt is good as getting U-turned... you need to put some effort in finding it first then to realize they have to switch task then have a hard time eating....

bystander.........
I really dont mean to rain on your speculations or calculations. From the Transportation Thread, we know that the racers "probably" arrived in Feldkick at approx 0946. We know that Kisha/Jen caught a 1239 train in Sargans to Zurick. So give them 14 minutes to get from Feldkirk Station to Schaanwald and start the moped RB. It is only 3 miles from the station to Schaanwald. Then give Kisha/Jen 39 minutes to get from Balzers Castle by bus to Sargans station to catch that train.
It probably means that it took Jen about 2 hours to do that RB. We are talking about measuring a course ~13-14 miles long, with a speed limit of 30mph. How many times does it appear that Jen traveled that course.....in all directions? It appears to me that Jen had to do 3 trips. 1st one down and wrong answer. 2nd one back to the north border. 3rd one down south. Since she knows where to go this time, she gets a right answer and then is off to the trains. Since she appears to be working with Justin, one could assume he got an incorrect answer too. As Jen said.......she thinks All the teams will be doing it over. I think placing teams in any kind of order, will be very misleading from the info we have at this time.
As far as the W-Turn, I am with the_schnauzers. I just dont see any team using it. The only one that I would think would do that, K/V, have already used theirs. Teams are not stupid. They will all realize they are just one clue away from the Pit Stop. I think they will all decline U-Turning any other team and haul buns to the Pit Stop.

Oh wow thanks... I didn't know that :P
Can you give me the link to post questions about TAR, I want to ask something... (like how can they film when they doing difficult task like diving, climbing, racing...)
... oh and I think Jet & Cord will be safe next leg, 'cuz I noticed that their confession in the promo was from previous episode, not the newset... is that a way to "fish" viewers from CBS? 'Cuz they did know that there were a lot of Jet & Cord fans here... :D
