After all their trouble during this leg, it appears Jo and Michelle weren't that far behind Paul and Steve...
--- Quote ---Despite these setbacks, Michelle and Jo managed to finish second, four minutes behind arch-rivals The Alpha Males.

Anyone else found it a bit weird that they stuck around so long to help the cops? It is a race after all.

Obviously there's some truth in that, but I don't completely agree with the statement, because even if all teams successfully completed the previous leg's Roadblock, the team who got Marked for Elimination would have been likely to be one of the last two teams to reach the Intersection (as the Detour didn't provide much opportunity for major time wasting, unless someone is crazy enough to spend hours searching through carpets), and even if they managed to get to the Intersection in sixth place or better, the Roadblock does not allow the team to make up thirty minutes over anybody.
Regardless of who was Marked for Elimination, and regardless of how far behind they were, in my opinion the leg design all but sealed their fate. If the previous leg was not a NEL, then the leg design for this one would've been good (but then I'd be complaining about Leg 5's design :lol:).
Just my opinion of the situation, but it is just about the most poorly designed (non-finale) leg I've seen. :(

Well assuming they knew that two teams were four hours behind them, then they would've known that they were at no risk of being eliminated, and maybe that's why they stuck around? :duno:
Personally, if I was on the race and I knew that two teams were four hours behind, I would definitely stick around for a while and help them, but personally, I wouldn't have helped if it was an intense battle for elimination or something. :lol:
