We have heard different times from racers for the Yield from as little as 15 minutes to as much as half an hour.
I don't know if production has ever clarified.
And I too would love, love to see Bill & Cathi race to the end. Andy & Tommy and Bill & Cathi are my favorite current teams, as how they race, and the attitude the keep is in general been the best out of the teams we have seen so far.
And to think when I start the season I plot out just off the interviews where I think teams will place. Bill & Cathi were my 2nd team eliminated.
So I love, love being proven wrong.

mswood, I guess Andy and Tommy is much hated because they snap up all the wins from the other teams, who have their own supporters. But Andy and Tommy do have their fair share of fans too. *points to Prophet and you* :neener:
I like them for being cool, completely loving the locations and everything else.. but I just didn't like how they win almost every leg. It made the race very boring for me and uninteresting, IMO. At least they're WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than BJ and Tyler, who're ANNOYING. They're not annoying at least... but I wished they would have won less legs... but at the same time, it's NOT their fault for finishing first. It's the other team's fault for coming in first and not doing something properly. I WISHED Justin and Jenn won last leg before getting eliminated. That would come completely as a surprise for viewers... I basically dislike them for beating my favourite teams, that's all. It's like football. You don't root for another team because you're already a fan of one team. If the other team beat your team, you'll dislike the fact.
And... Ma and Pa are getting less edit this leg. </////////////////3

Some people will not use it just to get a leg win. Several racers have out and out spoken off the "Karma" biting them in the ass later.
And here, with them knowing that ANdy & Tommy are strong and significantly ahead of others, I don't think they could have taking them out of the race.
Nor do I think it would have taken Andy & Tommy out of the race, as the other detour seem not to take a lot of time (in comparison for most teams).

I think if Ernie and Cindy used the U-TURN today, they would have won the leg and 15k. BUT they would also be receiving targets on their back from Andie and Tommy throughout the rest of the race, who're apparently STRONGER than them. Good choice I say. It's just not meant to be for them. I already said it, they deserve not to win this leg for wasting time to find the Double U-TURN.. they didn't read the clue properly which instructed them that the U-TURN was IN the village. They went quite far out.

Well I know some people generally don't like all male teams, specifically fit athletic all male teams. But it's been a while since a fit athletic male team as won the race (Season 10), the only other all male team to win since them were two skinny not athletic guys.
And I know that they have 5 wins under their belt, but really they aren't Eric & Jeremy who at episode 7 had 5 episodes they finished first in. All but one (the Fast Forward leg) was because they kicked the crap out of other teams. Not because teams (n some cases a lot of teams screwed up).
And while I understand your sports analogy more people seem to want Andy & Tommy gone then the other teams.
Really so far, I like almost everyone (I haven't actually disliked any teams so far this season). Even the "conflict" teams have been fairly mild. And we have yet to see any real team against team fighting. So far is this the nicest bunch at episode 7?
