TAR25 twists: What worked, and what should go?

<< < (4/4)

georgiapeach:
It wasn't a NEL per se. Instead, it was a new twist to send 4 to the finals.

G.B.:
Taiwan...?

The reasoning is because Leg 11 is a No-Rest Leg, which have not carried any penalty whatsoever since their introduction in Season 18.

It's the other 7 teams who should be angry!

Actually, Adam & Bethany weren't saved by a non-elimination. Curiosly though, they placed second to last on Legs 4, 7, and 10, all of which are non-eliminations :) They then placed second on the NR leg, and 'last' on the finale.

Out of all the other teams, I think Kym & Alli lost the most. If they didn't go for the Fast Forward, they would presumably be running in the top 3 until (a) Adam & Bethany gets the FF, and (b) they get U-turned. Still, they could U-Turn the Dentists (who would have closed the gap with the lobster Detour, but still behind). And then the Save would take effect, and then the possibilities! I wish we know the full rules of the Save, looking as it wouldn't appear ever again.

thanks BTW i wont remember to this rule.

Genius:
I am honestly quite fine with all the changes for TAR25, including the Save and 10 roadblocks (which doesn't really qualify as a twist?).
