The Amazing Race: What If
Belle Book:
I think that if Nancy & Emily had switched Detours instead of just giving up after losing the Fast-Forward to Bill & Joe, they would have still been in the Race as Team Guido got complacent and arrived after everyone else had arrived! Then Nancy & Emily might have had a chance to beat Kevin & Drew and make it to the Final 3, but they would have needed to switch Detours early enough to have much of a chance to catch up to the first two teams.
What would have happened if Hope & Norm didn't get the Curse of the Bad Taxi Driver? I always hated that.

Great question, Belle Book! :cmas16
I'm going to try to break this down leg by leg:
Leg 1: Nothing changes, Diedre & Hilary go home.
Leg 2: So now Blake & Paige would go home instead.
Legs 3 & 4: Peggy & Claire and Shola & Doyin will both unfortunately leave. :cmas4
Leg 5: I think Cyndi & Russell would still go home here.
Leg 6: NEL
Leg 7: Mary & Peach had too many problems in Hong Kong, so they go home here.
Leg 8: NEL, but it is probably Tara & Wil or Hope & Norm who are last. (This makes little difference, as there was no penalty those days.)
Leg 9: Gary & Dave probably still go here.
Leg 10: NEL
Leg 11: Here's the difficult part. Either Hope & Norm would be able to squeeze into the Top Three and replace Blake & Paige, or if they struggled there in New Zealand, then possibly Oswald & Danny might've made the Final Three instead. :cmas5
Leg 12 is a NEL and then Leg 13 would still feature Tara & Wil's and Chris & Alex's weird taxi fight. However, maybe Hope & Norm or Oswald & Danny would be able to stay close enough to them and win the race while those two played cat & mouse. :cmaslol
That was fun! :)
What if Heather & Eve did not take a taxi to the Portugal Pit Stop? Let us assume that Aaron & Arianne are eliminated here and let's assume that Heather & Eve did not make the Diesel error that the others made. How much further could they have gone in the race, in your opinion?

nvm

Heather and Eve just seemed smart enough for Final 4 - Final 6. :cmaslol

I'd have to agree with you, Joab! :cmas16
But going with my aforementioned scenario, if Aaron & Arianne left on Leg 4, then there would be nobody to save Andre & Damon on Leg 6, and consequently, Ken & Gerard would go home in the Austria/Germany leg, because of their flat tire en route to the Pit Stop. So then either John Vito & Jill or Heather & Eve would finish 5th, Derek & Drew in 4th, and then either John Vito & Jill or Heather & Eve would replace Ken & Gerard in the Final Three. :cmas5
Just my thoughts, but I thought this was an interesting question, because of the domino effect if Aaron & Arianne leave early, Andre & Damon would leave one leg earlier, and then Ken & Gerard would leave early as well). :cmas9
