IMO, Jet basically shot himself in the foot (sorry, couldn't resist!). The cowboys had two big flaws that came into play in this RB - not so great navigational skills, and too much of the lone ranger attitude. Don't mean they should have been friendly with the other teams to get info (though again, Gary was willing to help), but that they should have paid attention to keeping other teams in sight. If Jet had stuck with Gary, at least he'd know that they'd both have to go back to the start if their final number was wrong. The cowboys were so good generally at smoking the tasks, the chance of them blasting through a Detour ahead of Gary and Mallory was pretty good (especially, as it turned out, Gary had trouble getting going on the luggage task). Instead, Jet was the only one who had to go all the way back to the start, and it cost them.

:bigwelcome to RFF! That is exactly what I have always thought about the cowboys. So good at tasks most of the time but they have those glaring flaws that make it hard for them to keep up. It's sad because they are a fun team to watch and have many good qualities.

I think so too. I just re-watched. Justin & Jen helped each other, then they helped Herb. I think Gary helped Vxysin with the map and I think he had the number right but Herb confirmed it. Although they didn't show it, I think Gary helped Jet with the map and then Gary fell in behind Jet who then took off but he was so far off that he had to redo it. LOL :groan: He should have thrown out the 17.5 and taken Gary's 10.75 at that gas station and went from there.

Jet's incorrect answer was 35 km. Even if he'd subtracted 6.75 km from that in order to match Gary's calculation, he would've gotten 28.25, which would've still been wrong. :duno:

What Noisack's point (quoted from TWoP) is that Jet got 28km on his odometer, but added 6km instead of subtracting it to get an (even more) incorrect answer.
