Biggest Mistakes in TAR

(1/5) > >>

Platrium:
A lot of teams have been eliminated due to bad luck, but sometimes, teams end up with their own mistakes. Let me name a few:

1.) TAR12: Kynt & Vyxsin U-turned a team which was ahead of them. Had they U-turned the team behind them, they could guarantee their safety for that leg.
2.) TAR22: Jessica & John had an EP on the leg of their elimination. Had they used it on the detour, they'd most likely be safe for that leg.
3.) TAR19: It was during Leg 2 when teams were required to donate all their money at the orphanage before going to the pit stop. Only 3 teams did so without being told to go back. This caused some placements to shuffle, including Ernie & Cindy to lose their 1st place position, and even booting Ethan & Jenna early in the race.
4.) TAR17: Nick & Vicki opted to take a 6-hour penalty for quitting the detour. They were saved with a NEL, but their 6-hour penalty caused them to not be able to catch up with the 1st flight.
5.) TAR27: Recently, Jazmine & Danielle didn't get a clue at the skull they were required to look for. Had they read their previous clue and gotten the clue from the skull, they still could've gotten 6th.

I'm pretty sure there are some more. ;) What else would you consider as a big mistake made by a team?

Wouldn't agree with this. They don't know who's behind them.. so this wouldn't count for a big mistake...

I think the rest I would agree, including Nancy and Emily opting not to do the Detour in Season 1, and Kent and Vyxsin's bigger mistake in Season 18 on Leg 10 for taking a taxi to the pit-stop and getting a 30 minutes penalty.

or Libby and CJ mistake missed the train after selfie in Tokyo station in TAR 26 was  :funny:

Keepcopz:
- Joe & Bill didn't directly go to Pit Stop after taking FF in Thailand back in season 1 which caused them lots of time and push them to the back of the pack for the rest of the race is the biggest one I think.
- Azeria & Hendekia mistakenly book a flight to Croatia on Business Class. (Had they booked it correctly, they're guaranteed for F3 I think)
- Misa & Maiya overlooked the Pit Stop.

JJ's EP issue and Nick & Vicky's WTF quitting is more of disappointing mistake. Had John use that EP during Detour/RB or Nick TRY A LITTLE MORE to cooperate during the boat search, they're all likely to make it lots further. (Nick/Vicky may have a shot to win it all and JJ would at least make it to Botswana II OR Scotland)

I think they're gone anyway whether they make it on that train or not. But that moment was GOLD and the only entertainment that Selfie twist provided last season. :lol:
