The dentists most likely used it to save Lisa & Michelle, leg 4 became EL
11th Dennis & Isabelle
10th Micheal & Scott
9th Misti & Jim (curse because using the save to save other team while themselves booted
8th Keith & Whitney
7th Shelley & Nici
6th Tim & Te Jay
What would happen in Singapore, who would use the U-turn right in Singapore?

You must have meant if it's Salvage Pass?
Anyway, even if Lisa & Michelle is survived, I highly doubted that they'll make it pass UK. They're not so competent and with lots of skill-required task and physical tasks in leg 2. I don't think they can pull it through.

Could that let Dennis & Isabelle race a little bit further?

Will the boot order most likely be reversed as well, or not?

Right. So.
Leg 1! As it turns out the strongest men all made F4 to do the coconut RB AND Brobbie don't have a Speed Bump to contend with so I'd say Brooke & Robbie win leg 1 and the Save (helpful...); meanwhile, Amy dies and Amy & Maya are eliminated :( (production then rigs a 'first out season' that they somehow win, beating Ron & Bill and Jeff & Lyda yay)
Leg 2 Jim & Misti won this leg despite their flight-related mishaps and from what I recall of the sheep task / punting task, none of the other teams are physically able to match him. J & M win the Express Pass yay! The question is if Brooke still chooses the largest field and loses enough of a lead to get into last place. If so, the Save gets used (yay!) but if not...I'll stick a Lisa & Michelle boot in here. While it's tempting to use the Save ultimately with six other teams involved someone surely has to use the large field and it'll likely be a team that wasn't as strong in the Detour.
Leg 3 Reversing the order causes possibly *more* fun / trauma with flights lol. Critically I think Kym & Alli don't have as much confidence in the FF (since neither they nor Adam & Bethany would've won any legs by now so they have to go by the obvious 'maybe there's a team with professional surfers that will want to take this' logic) so Adam & Bethany win it uncontested. Given the tightrope RB is first-come, first-serve it really depends on who got there first which depends on who is good with flights and really the only *good* team in that regard is Kym & Alli. I'd assume Jim & Misti would be the worst at this but they have the Express Pass and they have a bunch of fodder teams to go against in the Detour / Merlion hunt. Because of said hunt, the results of the leg are pretty random so I consulted random.org (removing both surfers and cyclists from the drawing) and got Dennis & Isabelle eliminated. Works for me.
Leg 4 I will assume TAR would prebook tickets from Singapore to Paris and then leave teams to their own devices which would theoretically screw over Jim & Misti and Adam & Bethany but longhaul flights headed *into* Europe tend to bunch everyone so we'll go with it. With more teams and without a Speed Bump Tim & TeJay are free to burn a lot more time doing the Flag task and thus Tim & TeJay are last on an NEL. First place...I don't see Jim or Misti burning the Express Pass on Flag without at least seeing what the other task and I think the only teams with a shot at Flag are Adam & Bethany and maaaaybe Keith & Whitney. random.org says...neither of them do lol. Checking maf's recaps no one dazzled me with their task choice except Amy & Maya (:(); Jim & Misti were the first to switch in real life while Brooke & Robbie initially started shine and switched so...I'll go with Jim & Misti.
Leg 5 - At first I thought this would be like the actual episode (J/M first, T/T last) but then I realized with two extra teams and Amy & Maya eliminated that changes things - because of the Speed Bump T/T aren't in any place to win a footrace for Painters so they get to do Posers along with Brobbie. Using random.org, Shelley & Nici and Michael & Scott *also* do Posers leaving Keith & Whitney to do Painters and as the weakest of those four teams painting, I assume Keith & Whitney are last and eliminated.
Leg 6 - Okay *this one* would be like the original episode in theory - J/M first, S/N last - but I still need to account for Michael & Scott being terrible at navigation. Checking random.org...Michael & Scott are eliminated #Christmasmiracle
I legit have to go to work nowish so I'll edit in the rest later since I'd have to assign U-Turn motives (there are two obvious targets...) but standings:
- Brooke & Robbie - 1 win - has Save
- Jim & Misti - 4 wins - has EP
- Adam & Bethany - 1 win - used FF
- Kym & Alli - 0 wins
- Tim & TeJay - 0 wins - saved by NEL
- Shelley & Nici - 0 wins
Michael & Scott - 7th
Keith & Whitney - 8th
Dennis & Isabelle - 9th
Lisa & Michelle - 10th
Amy & Maya - 11th

I love the detail and the use of random.org! :cmas9 :cmas23 :xmas146 Amazing! Please continue with a new post instead of editing it. :grins: Thank you! :kisses
