That way, no one is influence by the other votes, no one gets screwed for voting in first.
No 'Nicole stupid drama' about not agreeing here.
Creates a strategy of : I'm sure everybody will vote for X (in this case Collin/Christie) so I will sneak a vote in X's way
Still have the drama of revealing the vote in public...
I think that scenario would have been a win win

Yeah the problem is in the actual voting and the way teams could be swayed by who others vote for and/or the order they vote in.
Revealing their vote is certainly not a problem. Though I still prefer the normal way of a vote board and then a reveal board later on. But that would require at least one extra Route Marker before the Detour and a careful Leg design which TARUS does not do, unfortunately.
Also, having that long, drawn out vote ceremony forces the Race to come to a screeching halt and is more than just a simple Hours of Operation equalizer.

It's safe to say that Swiss legs during the 20s haven't been that great. Last week's leg had some merits but wasn't that great. I thought that this week's leg was one of the better Swiss legs since TAR 14. With regards to the U-Turn Vote, I didn't mind having teams vote together after an hour of operations. I would have preferred teams revealing their vote at once or having every teams make their decision before going down the line (kind of like the opening vote of Survivor Blood vs Water). I'm glad though that the vote wasn't a pile up or an organized effort to target one team, and teams seemed to mostly vote out of self-interest. While I do think that the voting mechanics could be improved, I do think that this was a good leg for a U-Turn. The U-Turn was able to delay both teams but it wasn't an insurmountable obstacle. It was also great that the self-driving continued because it had a pretty decent impact in shaking the order of the teams. Also, while it only impacted the top 2, I liked the inclusion of the mini-Detour leading to the Pit Stop. So, overall I thought that this was a good leg, and I hope that the season can maintain this momentum especially next week as I've been looking forward to that destination.
Leo when he saw the cat. :funny:
Chris saying that he & Bret don't have enough IG followers to be included in conversations. :funny:
Old McBecca had a farm. :funny:
Christie feeling the energies of the cows, yet still choosing a broken one. :funny:
Absolutely not. :funny:
I choose you Pokemon. :funny:
Flags: Though it was fine. It did its job in delaying N&V enough.
Hay: Was a pretty straightforward physical task though it did create drama between the U-Turnees.
Cow: Loved that it produced an ox reference but it wasn't the most exciting task.
Tell: We get two tasks from TAR 3 but don't get a reference to that season. >:( In all seriousness, I did like this task. It was different enough from TAR 3, and it led to a great showdown to avoid elimination.
4/5

Is this one of the shortest legs in terms of total time ever? The U-Turn vote was at 7 AM and it was just after 9 AM when Bret/Chris tried to get the funicular (it ran every hour so they would've had to wait until 10) to the pit stop.
GabyM:
Another funny moment this episode...Bret constantly botching the pronunciation of "funicular." :funny:
