What if TK and Rachel had not been Speed Bumped in Leg 9? = Nathan and Jennifer going to the F3.

How is this possible? The SpeedBump (running through fireworks and being doused with water) was easy and did not take up much time, but it did take some time. The lack of that only would have improved the position of TK and Rachel in AR20 ep. 2. They probably would still have been second, only behind by a smaller margin. It would have had no impact on Nathan/Jennifer being eliminated. Prophet, what is your logic on why it should have changed the outcome of this leg?

4. If Jeremy and Sandy didn't lose too much time at "The Dump", do you think they had a chance in winning or will Ernie and Cindy still beat them to it?
I think it could have been decided by the taxi drivers going from Turner Field to Swan House, but the probability is that Jeremy/Sandy would have won if they maintained a 20 minute lead getting to "The Dump" (Margaret Mitchell version). Ernie was much slower than Sandy on the typewriting ROADBLOCK, so let's say that Jeremy/Sandy would have gained 5 to 10 minutes additional lead. given Jeremy's good performance, they would have lost only 5 minutes of that at Turner Field. given an equal time for the taxi ride to Swan House, that would have given Jeremy/Sandy the win by 20 to 25 minutes.

There was an interview which said J/S arrived an hour and a half behind Ernie and Cindy. I'm not very sure whether J/S lost all those time solving "The Dump" but i'm not sure if they would have won... but definitely there would be a much more intensive race rather than a one-sided finale.

If TK and Rachel had not been Speedbumped, they would have made the train anyway?? I am with apskip here... Nathan and Jennifer would have been eliminated with or without TK and Rachel's Speedbump. Their demise was due to them getting lost, if my memory did not fail me.

Would they have tickets for the flight and not T/J? Would they have the good T/J taxi, beating Rob & Kimberly and being the first all-female team too win? :cmaslol

Lyn/Karlyn were second before the clue to fly to New York City was received. That is when they elected to go to Paris-Orly Airport. If they had gone direct to Charles de Gaulle instead, they would have gotten into the queue for a full flight behind Tyler and James, who got confirmed seats before it was full. That means it is possible that neither Lyn and Karlyn (who were not as charming as Rob and Kimberly) nor Rob and Kimberly would have gotten on that flight. The victory would have been sealed for Tyler/James at that point. If they did get on that flight it would have been either a 2 team or 3 team race. I don't see Lyn and Karlyn getting the smooth journey that Tyler/James did to the news building, on foot to the statue and then in a taxi to Garrison. Tyler and James would still have won unless there was differential taxi karma.

I'm guessing he meant "What if TK & Rachel were eliminated in Leg 9 instead of it being an NEL?" :cmas5
