TAR 19: Ernie Halvorsen & Cindy Chiang (Engaged)
Jobby:
Prophet, there is no argument.. it's just a pure discussion of ideas and opinions. :duno:
Prophet:
Everyone always has their own opinion about teams and no one ever changes their mind because of what someone else thinks of a team :lol: It makes for interesting discussion though.
Jobby:
Yea... I'm just stating my opinions on things which I felt didn't make much fair judgement for team Ernie and Cindy by some of you. If you all are able to have a valid point of view, I may be convinced that their U-TURN used was pointless (which is fairly true that they could have not used it and still win the leg... but you never know) and that they shouldn't always focus on trying to win each leg of the race. Because if I remembered correctly, Ernie and Cindy had always been excited to go to new places at the start of each leg of the race (Laurence and Zac and the Snowboarders were the only two teams who didn't jump with excitement when the race instructed them to go to Copenhagen [EUROPE] at the pitstart) and are seemingly nice to the other teams. :lol:

I have stayed out of this until now, but it's time to put a few things into perspective. Prophet, how does using a U-turn harm the long-term chances of Ernie and Cindy winning AR19? There are only 2 potential reasons I can think of:
1. Using the U-Turn will prohibit them from using any future U-turns IF THERE ARE ANY
2. Other teams will be pissed off and retaliate in some way
I see both of those as complete red herrings. There wasn't a U-Turn in Episodes 9 and 10 and won't be any more U-Turns in the final 2 legs. Other teams are going to be focusing on making the F3 and not worrying about trying to hurt Ernie/Cindy because they harmed Bill and Cathi by using the U-Turn on them.
My bottom line is that I agree with Joab completely in this argument. The "I hate Ernie and Cindy" crowd does not appreciate that Bill and Cathi put themselves into too big a hole and doing the second DETOUR was not the real cause of it. Their inability to master the BodyBuilding poses quickly was the real cause.
Prophet:
Using the U-Turn doesn't effect their winning chances at all. :lol: I just think their attitude does. And I don't think it led to Bill and Cathi's elimination either.
