Really glad that they brought the Kafka roadblock back as a switchback (actually as soon as I saw they were going to Prague I predicted it) but I think they made it too easy by making it words instead of letters. Great episode, can’t wait until next week!

Because they were in second to last and u-turned the only team that was behind them which ultimately helped them survive the leg? lol.

Okay I wasn’t really clear it wasn’t because the U-Turn its more about how conniving Jessica was at the roadblock

This is a problem. This is a BIG problem that needs to be fixed. This is worse than the poor implementation of the Head-to-Head.
The U-Turn has become the goddamn DEATH NOTE.

Similar to the first W-turn of TAR 29, if this u-turn comes after detour, the elimination results could be easily be re-written

I don't think she was conniving. She gave them the correct answer after the fact, which she didn't have to do at all. Conniving would be her getting the answer and then bolting out the door after giving them an incorrect answer.

Imo she was being smart though?
Cody and her were at the back of the pack, and she gave her team a few minutes lead over Indy & Lifeguards.
If I was her, I probably wouldn't have even agreed to work with the other teams, to have the chance to get ahead more. But she did, and she kept her word to share the answer.
I think the other 2 teams are overreacting a bit. And Brittany overreacted to the whole gnome situation, too, as it was literally her, and only her mistake.
NELs:
This episode was OK, first of all I HATE that the u-turn is BEFORE the detour and not AFTER it nowadays. It leads no suspense to the teams when they race, because they know to do both detours. I would be fine if it was a yield because yields you can pretty much put anywhere in the race. Especially when both detours are unbalanced. I liked the switchback, but is sadly the only thing I liked about this episode. The editing was OK, but why can't they go back to having the amazing editing they did in Morocco, that was the best one yet.
