Even if they didn't use it, the teams were so spread out that they would have finished in 3rd either way, so no, I don't think they wasted it. It let them skip that Roadblock and get closer to Jaymes & James and Trey & Lexi for the start of the next leg.

But now in this show there is normally some quick equaliser to bunch the teams up.
Most teams obviously use the express pass when they think there are in danger of going out, so few are likely to use it to try and win a leg. The main idea of the race is not to be eliminated, only the last leg is all about winning.
The twins have become a bit more tolerable. That's either because they have become quieter or because the editing isn't showing the loud side as much.

Well they didn't waste it, it's just because they were never in that situation to benefit from the express pass, but they couldn't foresee that as well. From task difficulty obviously they should have use it last leg but this is in a hindsight, they never knew what's ahead and teams are so spread out.

Wasting is when they don't use the EP. -_-

The statement "they should have used it last leg" (meaning for the synchronized swimming) is debatable. I would say that the geography test could have been a fiasco for either of the twins. If it took 2 teams 12 tries and another 25 tries, take a guess at how many it could have taken an individual going into it with the wrong attitude? I think the twins made the right decision by not using it at Synchronized Swimming.

I agree. They knew, with a high degree of certainty, that they were safe during the swimming task. And the next leg could very well have started with an equalizer, in which case the express pass could very well have given them a 1st place.

Although the twins definitely will not get eliminated this leg as well, but the EP helped them catch up with Trexie and Chips. When Trexie were leaving for the pitstop, the twins showed up at the Detour... and we know that they catch up on loads of time since we know Nadiya and Natalie were at least 1-2 hours behind Chips. (One of the twin said it last episode while one of the twins was doing the RB.. something that has got to do with you made us spend a few hours here!)
