(in a perfect world)

OMG I can't believe Tanner & Josh fought through their Speed Bump and won the leg!
Denise & James-Earl so close! Win the next one please!
Tiffany & Krista third <3
OMG Justin & Diana U-Turned Kelsey & Joey! Those bastards!
Logan & Chris 4th!

Justin & Diana are lost.... so Kelsey & Joey power through and get 5th!

Justin out! 

If only... Could this be the best leg yet if this happened?

Logan & Chris - I hate seeing Logan all fed up... it's hard to see that because we haven't seen that kind of behavior from a female in so long

How dare you forget Hayley?

When Logan yells it's more Hayley wasn't THAT loud imo

Amsterdam, Germany, and Peru

Hayley was entertaining with Blair's submissiveness. In here, Logan & Chris really argue with each other. If ever I have to pick 1 of these 2 teams for the next all-stars, I'm going with Hayley & Blair.

I hate to say this but I dislike it that whoever gets in last place last leg, will get last place this leg because of the U-TURN. I mean everyone is all for U-TURNing the strongest team. But usually, more than often, the weaker teams get targeted and they end up getting U-TURN instead.

I was thinking and this leg planning will only work, if the U-TURN, is immediately after a Detour, which is the FIRST task of the leg. That will ensure that Tanner and Josh don't already DEFINITELY end up with no chance at using a U-TURN because they already are handicapped with so much time lost at the Roadblock/Speedbump.

I think it has been mentioned many times, but they need to stop putting the U-TURN as the last thing of the leg if they want the leg to be interesting and exciting. They need it to be right smacked in the middle, with another task or two after it.

I seriously am pretty annoyed by U-TURNs at the end of the leg and TAR route planners reading this needs to freaking get this right.

[RaceUntilWeDie]

"Rooting for Green Team now" was probably the funniest part of the episode. I'm going to miss Team Texas.

Honestly, Team Texas got screwed up by the "Double Roadblock" or whatever that was. WTH???

[elthemagnifico]

TBH this a great episode aside of freaking laugh of Justin that almost made me  puke....

RB was ecxellent, the new concept of SB was a huge surprise but great and deserved to continue

The detour was great too... A comeback of U-turn could have been better if Kelsey and joey had arrived first

This is a really solid leg (and could be top-tier leg if J/D didn't win)

[gamerfan09]

Cast Rank:

1. Logan & Chris (Logan losing her crap once again never ceases to make me laugh + Chris going "I'm gonna U-Turn him right now" made me laugh for a whole minute)
2. Tiffany & Krista (back to bottomgoddessing <3)
3. Denise & James-Earl (thank god they survived)
4. Tanner & Josh ()
5. Kelsey & Joey (when your faves are problematic but tbh they had no choice because I'm sure they could have inferred that Justin was ahead? Plus if they used it on a team ahead of them Denise would be toast)

*bottomless pits of the core of the earth*

The Speed Bump was AWFUL.

I'm all in for a Roadblock U-Turn, but not like this.

AMEN!!

This really annoys me...speedbumps are usually 12-15 min long. No idea how long that RB took, but clearly way longer. AWFUL speedbump.

And then Phil calls it on the MAT...

You had no chance unless someone else got U-Turned.

Sorry..but that is AWFUL route planning!!

[Vitoko]

Bye Josh&Tanner... It shouldn't have been you tonight.

I hate to hate Justin&Diana. I really do, they are racing great, they recover when they make mistakes and Justin is having fun in the process but I can't deal with Justin overconfidence/cockiness and if Diana is not arguing with Justin she pretty much doesn't exist. I'm just gonna blame the editing process because I've never feel this way about a team. Is so immature of me.

Kelly&Shevonne got eliminated because they took too long at the puzzle.
Alex&Adam got eliminated after being drop off in the wrong location by their taxi (even though we didn't see this)
Ernest&Jin got eliminated because they couldn't possibly recover from missing a bus.
Jazmine&Danielle got eliminated because they made too many mistakes in the same leg.
Cindy&Rick got eliminated because they made too many mistakes in the same leg.

But Tanner&Josh got eliminated because they had too many tasks to do. That double roadblock was brutal and then getting u-turned by Kelsey&Joey was too much for them to recover, especially with the u-turn being just before the pitstop.

[Keepcopz]

I didn't the watch the EP yet. Did the Speedbump require both Tanner & Josh to perform the RB at the same time? OR they need to wait for their teammate to finish before they can start their own?

[Jobby]

The downward decline of Tanner and Josh is just sad to watch.

[Vitoko]

i cant believe im saying this but i would rather see jonathan/victoria race again than **********

Ok no, lets not get crazy here. Do you really wanna watch an abusive relationship again? no, not again. We don't need women getting pushed by their partners while running with 2 backpacks... I'll take justin everyday of week.

Wait for team mate to finish. Like wtf.

They need to wait for their teammates to start over

Wtf. Then I'm hating this with passion. I thought at first that it require both team member to do it AT THE SAME TIME which seem fair enough.

This just screw over Tanner & Josh. 

[Platrium]

Because I was reading a lot from this thread, and because of the excitement in the U-turn, I forgot to give my comments about this leg.

The roadblock was good! There was some difficulty shown, and it's already the 9th leg.

The detour was great! Both tasks were equally difficult, and again, it's the proper difficulty for the 9th leg of the race.

The speedbump is what I don't like. Even if Tanner & Josh don't get U-turned, they still don't have a chance. I can't really be sure about Denise & JE's time consumption for getting lost to the pit stop.

The U-turn was a shock! I didn't expect Justin & Diana to not use the U-turn. Instead, it was Kelsey & Joey who used it... on Tanner & Josh! I remember in the earlier legs, Leg 4 to be specific, that Kelsey & Joey had an alliance with both Tanner & Josh and Justin & Diana, and that Joey was puppet mastering. I also remember them mentioning that they don't mind breaking an alliance with Justin & Diana. Now, it seems that the tables have turned. Could this be some sort of karma for not giving the EP to Kelsey & Joey? Maybe not, but the story in Legs 3 to 4 seem interesting to connect to the recent U-turn. I understand that it was a strategic U-turn since Kelsey & Joey were with Tanner & Josh at the front of the pack earlier in the race. Also, it seems like Kelsey & Joey were the quiet ones after all. Joey seems to have practiced his puppet mastering pretty well.

Overall, I think this leg was great! Justin & Diana may have won, but the task difficulties and dramatic plot twists seem to make this leg great. One way to make this leg better is if Justin & Diana were the ones U-turned, because they're strong. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see that.

Edit: I said I didn't like the speedbump, so I'll just give this leg a "good" for my personal rating.

This leg was rigged for Justin & Diana.

No Double U-Turn means lesser chance of them getting U-Turned and the Speed Bump helped it.

It was rigged and nothing can convince me otherwise.

And Kelsey & Joey were SOMEHOW brought to the wrong place.

Not going to catch up to watch 4/5 or whatever legs they have won in a row. I can't believe I'm actually saying that tbh.

I don't think so. If it is rigged, why the producers portray them so badly?

If they were winners of the whole Race, I would think they would portray them more positively.
