TAR 30: Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!
Granth:
It looks like Evan will be eating scorpions while Henry wears them, so there goes the chance of a TARCAN-style strategic quit in order to save themselves from performing a gross Roadblock with the knowledge that it's NEL.

Last non-Philippine Southeast Asian penultimate leg was Vietnam 27 seasons ago, plus Oceania stopped hosting them since the end of the same 13-leg era; savvy superfans can therefore wager that the 11th leg of recent eastward routes will for certain be in East Asia.
SBs are a minor setback that can be easily overcome.

All I'm saying is that there's no real gain in purposely not doing your best and falling behind.
"Saving your energy" isn't like you're skipping the leg, taking a day off. If that was an option, then you could call it a strategy. But when you still have to run the leg and perform all those same tasks, you get tired nevertheless. Walking to places rather than running won't save you enough energy to offset the disadvantage of getting worse tickets (back of the plane), or hell even risking a later flight for your team, coupled with a speed bump.
You can't say that speedbumps are easily overcome because that's situational. If there's a footrace for last place, or if you're literally minutes apart, then definitely the reason you were last is because you had that tiny extra task to complete.
I don't see how you can reason against that (don't mean this disrespectfully).

Fair enough - E/H don't seem like the types to take the easy way out, after all.

Hearing Cantonese from the preview is amazing <333333
I am looking forward to the order taking task :-*
Hopefully another good times since S14 Kisha & Jen :bow:

Judging from the edits, I would bet either Kristi & Jen to win with all the all-female team talk and their Top 3 dominance during the Race. Or Henry & Evan as the underdogs against the group of friends and maybe their Yale smarts finally coming into play on the Final Task? Otherwise, it's Cody & Jessica for the boring couple win. And maybe Jessica possibly losing the million for them after the comment she made last night with regards to Cody carrying most of the weight of the team.
