I wish they had :(

Me, too. :'(
For sure they could have survived leg 3 since so many teams messed up the Detour. They probably could have beaten Jeff and Jordan in leg 4, which almost gives them guaranteed survival until leg 7, where they may have been Nel'd.

I'd love to hear what y'all thinks...
What would happened if I U-Turned Justin & Zev in Leg 5 (The one with Dinosaur Roadblock)?

Great question Luke!
But I think if Kent & Vyxsin were still the third team to arrive at the U-Turn mat, they still would've used the second U-Turn on Jaime & Cara, sealing their fate. :'( :'( :'(
However, I'll also try to answer your question with the assumption that the second U-Turn was not used, or was used on the Globetrotters, who did very well at the Roadblock anyway. If this was the case, then Zev & Justin and Jaime & Cara would've been in a much closer race for survival. I'm not sure exactly how far apart they had initially checked in, so I'm not sure whether or not Jaime & Cara would survive. :duno: However, just for the fun of it, let's assume that Jaime & Cara did survive:
It's hard to see Jaime & Cara being eliminated in India, due to your own bad luck with the tea and Ronald getting lost at the Varanasi Roadblock, meaning that Jaime & Cara would be in the Final Six. Then, assumably, the rest of the teams still wouldn't have told Jet & Cord the Leichtenstein answer, meaning that they left in Zermatt, and after Kent & Vyxsin's 30-minute penalty on the second Zermatt leg, they would still definitely go home there.
This means that Jaime & Cara now are in the Final Four. And they would have a good chance of making the Final Three, especially after Flight Time & Big Easy fell behind at the beginning of the penultimate leg. Also, that Brazil leg involved dancing - which would've played to Jaime & Cara's strengths, so I think they would make the Final Three. From that point on, it's very difficult to predict, but IF Jaime & Cara had overcome Zev & Justin in Kunming and given how the rest of the race eventuated, it's hard to see them not making the Final Three.
I wonder if anyone has a different opinion? :duno:

If it's thrue, Jaime & Cara checked in more than 1h30 after Ron & Christina and Zev & Justin :ascared (but maybe Jaime took her time after Justin completed the Roadblock, knowing that they were already last :duno:)
But if they'd survived, I'm with racer about the fact that they could have had a good chance to be in the final three. :'(

Wow, that's quite a significant difference, but like you said, maybe she took her time. :duno:
Watching Jaime struggle at that Roadblock was one of the most heartbreaking things on TAR for me, considering how much I loved that team. :( :'(
