--- End quote ---
Actually, U-Turn after the Detour killed way more teams than that.
--- End quote ---
Makes sense. When the U-Turn is before the detour, the u-turned teams have extra drive to get both detours done ASAP. U-Turn after the detour, a team maybe takes their time more. That said, I still like U-Turn after detour more.

I think I understand what you meant. If you're a fan of the drama causing by the U-Turn then after the Detour is the way to go.
--- End quote ---
Eh, Drama is kind of the same regardless. It's more like what I said above where I just prefer that a team who finished a task first get first dibs on choosing to u-turn someone. I wouldn't mind U-Turn before detour per se if there was at least a Roadblock or something before it. It's all personal preference though. U-Turn before detour definitely leads to stronger teams getting u-turned which can be viewed as a positive or negative.
--- End quote ---
That's where the U-Turn vote comes in. To my opinion, this is the fairest kind of U-Turn. It's like democratic while U-Turn after Detour is like republic and before the Detour is democratic republic.
--- End quote ---
I almost feel like I should shift this convo to BMS thread (probably will if it goes on longer lol) but I actually don't like the idea of the U-Turn vote for that very reason. I think the power to U-Turn is something that should be earned.

Welcome to the world we all live in. It's chaotic.

ABC: Tonal languages like Lao are pretty difficult, so it was difficult but not impossible.

Didn't they get some kind of readymade clue with some image beneath the letter which was something to do with how the letter sounded? I assumed it was for that. I'd rather they had to work out a scheme for themselves though, would have made for more drama.

--- End quote ---
Do you mean best/worst use in terms of where production placed it, or in how the teams used it? If it's the latter, I'd have to disagree that the 30 U-Turn was poorly used, because in that situation, Cody & Jessica really were racing for last place, so U-Turning the musicians was a smart move that ended up saving them from a possible elimination.

The former.

The ABC Detour would've been an awesome Road Block! More meltdown potential too lol
