Their greatest accomplishment is still that awesome play at the voting U-Turn, otherwise they were never as much as into the racing aspect.

Can you expand on that please? I'd like to know exactly how TAR China presented that.

TAR China presents teams with the Must-Vote (IE, Israel-style) U-Turn while they're still in the hotel. Then, before being released, they're allowed to visit each others' rooms to discuss strategy and who to vote for. On this leg, two teams wanted to vote for Jia & Xiu, and two other teams wanted to vote for Qiang & Zhang. All four of them were basically trying to convince Zhang & Zhang to "join their side" and break the tie. Instead, they decided to vote for someone else entirely, thus ensuring that the vote did end in a tie and BOTH teams would end up being U-Turned, giving them a chance to survive (They didn't)
Maanca:
Okay that's actually a brilliant play of the U-Turn.
Yeah, they voted for Wu Minxia and her partner.
Maanca:
Nice, they went to Kingdom Karaoke. The site of the Detour Kelly & Kate crushed and won the leg from.
dryedmangoez:
Despite Zhang Jike looking like he was being forced to be here most of the time, his dad was fun and seemed to enjoy everything. (He actually did much of the tasks.) And they still actually did the tasks, except for the balancing RB which was also about Zhang Jike's pre-Race injury if I remember correctly? There are definitely non-celebrity teams on other TARs who have quit simpler tasks for even dumber reasons. And for as much as I can gather without understanding any Chinese, despite him being the oldest Racer and not in the fittest of health, Papa Zhang never used his age as an excuse to gain sympathy or an easy way out of a task. Unlike certain other TAR teams who have.

Did the heat and exhaustion also play a part? The show really went out of their way to point out how hot it was. Including Zhang Xiaocheng turning the electric fans off + Papa Zhang sweating like crazy at the Detour. Not understanding what was going on when they left the Detour, I thought he was going to pass out or something.
BourkieBoy:
Always sad to see a team pull out from the race!
So, it was a Non-Elimination, since they had to withdraw ???
