HUH?? It's exactly the opposite. As earlier teams find clues, there are fewer clues left for the later teams to find.

I wondered that too - Its what I would have done as soon as I realised that there was no way we were going to win the rowing.

I think it was because they already declared to take the penalty.
It'll be assessed no matter what. even if they went back to the RB location and start digging and actually found a clue,
When they arrived at the pit-stop, they would still have the 4 hour penalty
Remember FlightTime&BigEasy taking the penalty on the telephone RB? BigEasy never seemed to go back inside and tried to complete the RB and The place was literally behind'em. I think it's because even if he finished the RB before the 4 hour is up, it would not affect anything. They still would get their clue when the 4 hour is up.

Katie: "Come on clue pleaseeeeee." how about no.
Pam & Winnie are out of the roadblock in 5th. Irdies murmurs for Joey to stop talking. Joey is being quite uh, crazy. LOL. Joey & Meghan are out of the roadblock in 6th.
Pit stop:
1st - Jessica & John - EPx2
2nd - Bates & Anthony
3rd - Dave & Connor
Dave & Connor think they should get the second EP because of the alliance...

Why? The alliance does not include them. If John and Jessica are true to the alliance, they must give it to the next finishing team of the alliance. That is David and Connor.

I think they meant second out of their pack to reach the pit-stop. Anthony&Bates were not included in the pack. So they did not count.
Besides, not that I hate Anthony&Bates (OMG I LOVE'EM SO MUCH THEY'RE NICE AND ADORABLE), they proved they were strong and managed to surge ahead to catch up. If John&Jessica played smart, there was NO WAY they gave it to Anthony&Bates. What, they wanted Anthony&Bates to scoop first place from them? Maybe that's why Dave tried to appear weak and not physically fit so John&Jessica would honor the pack and give'em the EP.
They might as well give it to Max&Katie or Caroline&Jennifer since they're both at least four hours behind now if JJ played smart. These two were most likely to battle out the last place in leg 2. If one of'em had an exprees pass, the other one was screwed entirely. And even more, there's almost no way one of these two would catch up to John&Jessica even with the EP.
What's the dealio with an EP anyway? the only teams winning the race so far after using the EP were Ernie&Cindy and Rachel&Dave. besides, none of the teams using the EP in a leg that actually has won that particular leg.
TAR 17 -> Jill&Thomas got 5th place after using the EP in leg 4
TAR 18 -> Gary&Mallory got 2nd place after using the EP in leg 5
TAR 19 -> Ernie&Cindy got 2nd place after using the EP in leg 6
TAR 20 -> Rachel&Dave got 6th place after using the EP in leg 3
TAR 21 -> Natalie&Nadiya got 3rd place after using the EP in leg 8
I personally wasn't too excited with this EP twist. it'll just bring some short drama in the race.
starrynight:
Yeh both the express pass and the last year two million prize are twists that might not last long, but most importantly they don't really concern most of the teams anyway. I'm not sure you really need new twists just a good cast and of course well designed legs with good challenges.
