I have a weird feeling that the Afghanimals might be the last at the U-turn board and their question is rethorical. If I'm not wrong Brenchel and Dave&Connor could not use the U-turn any more, I don't think the cowboys would use (maybe if someone would u-turn them) and I don't see the country girls in the front, just don't

There are the same number of NELs as usual for a 12 leg race with 11 teams. (8 eliminations plus 3 NELs plus final leg.)
As to the U-Turn, we don't know whether any team are ahead of the Afganimals at the Double U-Turn. for instance the Cowboys could be ahead and decided not to use it.

The great amount of tasks is what I really liked about this leg. Tbh, if more legs were like this, I wouldn't mind the Detour being left out a few times. Or why not just have a Route Info task with a Detour and Roadblock regularly? Something I've wanted for a while.. ughhh.

LEG 9 (Italy --> Switzerland) EPISODE ANALYSIS:
So many race fails this episode including Caroline falling flat on her country back in the milk can Roadblock, Dave almost injuring his hip... or Achilles tendon... while jumping the railing at the Mt. Titlis Gondola ticket line (KARMA! :funny:), and Brenchel's awkward cut to commercials in Lucerne just to mention a few. Alas, this is the first real Leg of TAR24! From the altitude changes, task diversity, and Leg longevity, this became one of those real all-stars episodes. Time to "let it go" for breaking down this Swiss majesty.
ROUTE INFO #1: (Clean trashy hotel room)
Initially, I wanted to despise this task so much, but flashing back, this happened to be a really challenging task even if the editing made it look easier. Helga is one strict roomskeeper and her intellect about hospitality lit up this task. For the detail seekers, this was a task that challenged their sight. I wonder if this was a Detour option though.
ROUTE INFO SCORE: 8/10
ROUTE INFO #2 (Calculate vehicle model year)
I thought this task was okay, but it was vulnerable for the sharing of answers which I really can't stand on the race. It was partially challenging because of the daunting amount of highway signage, but you only had to look for the given cities name. If I was designing this task, I would have made teams search for the distance between two cities using only the signs and a map of Switzerland. That way, it would be too idiotic for a team to do a task for another team.
ROUTE INFO SCORE: 6/10
ROADBLOCK: (Who is ready to be milked to oblivion?)
The milk trade-off task was pretty generic, nothing very interesting about the task except for the dogs. However, the scenery of the Swiss Alps were simply spectacular! I would love to see the curves and snowed trees in the wintertime. Just gorgeous!
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 7/10
OTHER SCORES:
LEG DIFFICULTY: 7/10
TEAM DRAMA: 9/10
RACE FAILS: 12/10
OVERALL SCORE: 8/10

I'm surprised the 2nd Double U-Turn is coming so late. When the first one appeared in Orvieto, I assumed it would be the only one since it was later in the season than it has been lately (~Leg 4 or 5).

That's why I said MIGHT ;D. Their tone was just not so "happy-we-could-decide-who-goes-home!" which I think they would use in that situation. Honestly, If they were there first they would probably U-turn Brenchel of the cowboys depending who was closer to them.
