You forgot about the epic TAR11 intersection detour :cmaslol
The one in TAR16 was just doing the bungee (or something like that) Roadblock together right?
Flamant:
What if the TAR15 leg 7 Detour was less tougher? Would Maria & Tiffany survive? Would they reach the finale?
My guess is yes. Brian & Erika would come in 6th, with a bit of luck for M/T Gary & Matt would finish last at the haybale roadblock and still be eliminated in 5th, the globetrotters would come in 4th, M/T would NAIL the poker task and would become the first all female team to win!!! :cmas18
Best Loser:
What if catching a cab outside the Space Needle wasn't so difficult? :cmas4
What if there had not been too much fog for the first flight out of Canada?
An extension of this one is What if Colin & Christie had won? How much different would their edit have been?
Here's one for the international versions: What if Marc & Rovilson won the Fast Forward? My hypothesis: they would have continued with alternating roadblocks, leaving Marc with the flags. Can you stomach that possible ending?

What if FRANZ wasn't so hard to order? Who would have won TAR 15?
--- End quote ---
Franz actually wasn't hard to order. With 5 letters and one of them specified (by Dan giving Herb the first letter being F) there were only 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 combinations of the letters R, A, N and Z. Do any of these sound like names in any language:
FRAZN
FRZAN
FRZNA
FRNAZ
FRNZA
FARZN
FARNZ
FAZRN
FAZNR
FANRZ
FANZR
FNARZ
FNAZR
FNRAZ
FNRZA
FNZAR
FNZRA
FZARN
FZANR
FZNAR
FZNRA
FZRAN
FZRNA
I think that none of these 23 remotely sounds like a valid name. Only "FRANZ" does.
However, in the spirit of Joab's design of this thread, let's assume that Herb could have solved this soon enough to get to the pit stop and avoid elimination. That means that if Dan had given Herb more information or Herb had solved it himself Brian and Ericka would have been eliminated instead of Nate and Herb. In the finale, the rappel done the side of the Mandalay Bay Hotel would have substituted Nate and Herb for Brian and Ericka (who finished first). The chip counting exercise would almost certainly have caused Nate/Herb to have difficulty and take a bit longer than the other 2 teams. They would most likely have been stuck in 3rd place at the Finish Line and there. So my guess is that Cheyne and Meghan would still have won and Sam and Dan finished 2nd

That will probably not happen. :cmaslol
--- Quote from: Prophet on December 14, 2011, 10:36:52 AM ---@Joab: Victor said in a review article for TAR 16 that he convinced Margie and Luke that Amanda and Kris were a strong team.
--- End quote ---
Prophet, the key word here is convinced. The problem is, if Margie and Luke didn't think so themselves that Amanda and Kris were a strong team they wouldn't have bothered to U-TURN them too. Victor may have his own opinion but I guess Margie and Luke can see from themselves that Amanda and Kris could have been a strong contender and decided to use the U-TURN to put them out of the competition.
--- End quote ---
To clear it up, Victor never convinced us to U-Turn Amadna & Kris. I already knew that they were a big threat and I did not want to face them in the final three. That's why I U-Turned them. Now, look back, I probably should have U-Turned Victor & Tammy. I would bet Kris or Amanda probably couldn't figure the surfboard out like I did.
Now for TAR18. I regretted for not U-Turn Justin & Zev! The outcome could have been entirely different!!
