There was NO hope for anyone correctly U-Turned to catch up....

I think it was meant for a true double U-Turn, so that two teams were racing neck and neck like Brooke & Claire vs. Chad and Stephanie

Good point, but I still hate, hate, hate it. Makes me seriously not want to watch TAR.
NoluckBoston:
I prefer the double U-tun over the single. At least, unlike before with a single U-turn, you have a chance.
Prophet:
Andy and Tommy <3

THis is getting to be a habit with production. U-Turns shouldn't be at the end of a leg.
Take All Stars, now of course we all knew who was going to last for the final three (and win for that matter), but that Macau leg, where Eric & Danielle start over thirty minutes after everyone, get Yielded, and still manage to get to the Matt in 2nd place before they have to wait out a 30 minute penalty from the last leg. HAving the Yield at the beginning gives the editors this great build, this race internal of the larger race.
Putting crap at the end with little chance to overcome, is just really, really wrong.

SOme people just hate the idea of using something to impair another team, we have had several racing teams that have chosen not to use a yield for this very reason even when teams are neck and neck.
I actually respect that.
In most sports or contests (even mental contests) you are out to win, but you don't actively seek to trip up another player (in fact in most things its against rules). So I can certainly understand why people would not want to use them.
