ONE Team struggles to consume a local delicacy (FONDUE) while others become acquainted with Swiss hospitality (Luggage Delivery??)
But one team may ALSO struggle on the BELLBOY/luggage task.
Luggage tags! :o Don't forget your receipt!!

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....

I like bystander's comment about losing a luggage receipt being a defacto U-Turn. It fits with Peach's clue too.

OK... If the cowboys decided to switch detour after losing the receipt and do cheese instead that is fine. If they are the ones who lost the receipt AND got U-Turned to boot, they are sunk. They have to COMPLETE both detour options in the U-Turn. They would first have to find the receipt or get a new one and then go do the cheese.

Uhm, I think the cowboys do get u-turned, but somebody else loses the receipt and/or doesn't figure out the clue for the pit stop and gets eliminated. To me it makes sense to u-turn a team as strong as Jet and Cord are, especially as we are getting close to the final leg and it could be the last chance to do so. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that IMO the GTs are the ones who u-turn them, it would fit with their comment in one of the video promos and with the statement that everyone is "ganging up" on the cowboys. How else can one or more teams damage another if not by using the u-turn?
Uhm, I think for the first time tonight I'll watch the live stream! Peach, I'm counting on you!! :<3

Another thing that I am struggling with... When Gary met up with Jet on the moped task, Gary said his od reading was 10.75 and Jet said his was 17.5 and that he thought he took a wrong turn somewhere. Wouldn't Jet have to go back to the beginning before heading out with Gary or at least do the task over to get the correct reading I wonder? I can't see Gary (who is already a bit behind) waiting for Jet to go all the way back to the start and then come back for him. More likely that Jet continued on with Gary in hopes he would be close enough and then possibly had to repeat the task?
I predict that Gary got it right, Jet got it wrong and Gallory are ahead of Jet & Cord at this point.

They only had to calculate the length... I guess that it is legal to follow somebody's answer especially if they were helping each other... They only had to show their calculations, if they had the wrong answer they can approximate on how much they travelled the wrong way or the turn abouts... the best way though to get it right is to redo it again... :duno:
