Now that TAR 24 has ended (or probably 2 weeks ago ):
1. What if Margie & Luke got on the Singapore connection flight along with Brenchel to Sri Lanka on the fifth leg?
2. What if Jessica & John's taxi driver didn't get confused where to go and went to Spanish Steps right away?
3. What if Brenchel U-Turned the cowboys on the 8th leg? Who would the cowboys U-Turn and would the way the alliances form later be different? And would Brenchel still be a target?
4. What if Leo & Jamal U-Turned Brenchel instead of cowboys because they never got the knee injury?
5. What if Leo & Jamal never got lost in England and Wales?
6. What if Brenchel get at least a better cab in the final leg?
18. Last, what if Dave injured his Achilles AGAIN in the footrace between him and Connor and John and Jessica to the Leg 6 Sri Lanka Pit Stop? Gamechanger What If.
What if all of THESE happened
L05: Malaysia to Sri Lanka. Everyone tied at the temple because of the HoO. Margie & Luke would probably choose the fishing detour because the other one is dancing to music (but maybe they just needthe steps?). However, placements shuffle at the Roadblock, and I bet Margie knows how to sew. Brendon & Rachel is eliminated
L06: No one is missing trains, so it is decided upon the Detour. Dave ruptures his Achilles again
but doesn't withdraw immediately. Non-elimination.
L07: Sri Lanka to Italy.
Assume Margie & Luke's and Jessica & John's taxis didn't get lost on the way to the Spanish Steps. Flight Time & Big Easy are eliminated in 7th place.
L08: Orvieto leg with the Double U-Turn. Brendon & Rachel isn't here anymore. No one would use the U-Turn unless they were behind. Caroline & Jennifer, Leo & Jamal were behind.
Assume Margie & Luke and Jessica & John were behind. Anyone of those four teams could use the U-Turn for survival. Also, Dave & Connor could use it Brendon & Rachel style (U-turning the team right behind them for a first place) since they know they won't be here long with the broken foot.
If they withdraw now (faster than last time because of a previous injury, probably), everyone else would be safe. 5 teams left. Jet & Cord are first after using their Express Pass.
If Dave & Connor doesn't withdraw, they'd get lost after the Roadblock, meets Caroline & Jennifer in a footrace and would be eliminated (assuming the girls don't let them on the mat first).
Another probable situation: Dave & Connor (in first) U-Turns Leo & Jamal, Leo & Jamal U-Turns (probably) Jessica & John or the Cowboys (who would be ahead). Margie & Luke and Jessica & John could still get more lost than the Country Singers and Dave & Connor.
L09: Teams left: Leo & Jamal, Caroline & Jennifer, Jet & Cord, Margie & Luke, and Jessica & John. The driving could mess up anyone. But the final decider is the physical mik tank task. Non-elimination.
L10: Italy to Spain. Every one of those teams would probably use the U-Turn if they could.
Assume only Leo & Jamal get on the first flight to Seville. Leo & Jamal U-turn the Cowboys. The Cowboys U-Turn another team, probably sparing themselves. In all honesty, the two U-Turn slots could be used by two different teams (not the three-team chain).
Assume Jet & Cord are eliminated because they were last to the U-Turn board after all and got lost twice during the leg and goofed up a bit at their first detour.
L11: Spain to United Kingdom. Leo & Jamal don't get lost and are probably first. Hopefully, Margie does the Welsh poem Roadblock.
Assume Leo & Jamal and Caroline & Jennifer are safe. It's between Margie & Luke and Jessica & John.
L12: With only Caroline & Jennifer intact for the Final 3, it's anyone's game
