Musicon:
So filler episode then (in the style of US BB), so they only have one a season?

Or sometimes, two (the one near Season Finale something).

But it does make it sound like it's hard for stronger teams to get to the end. There is at least, from what I can tell, a limit to the yield time of 15 minutes. Also it seems all teams can yield, so can all teams u-turn as well, like in the recent vote for u-turn on the US version? It can make it like Big Brother where teams can just decide who to target until they leave. At this point there isn't a clear pattern to me, which is better. Some teams near the back are targeting others near the back. Some stronger teams have been yielded too. Though some teams so far are obviously strong but aren't being targeted that much, such as Eyal and Sid and Haviv and Itzak. Maybe the winners are those who just try and keep in the middle of the pack most of the time and just get along with everyone. But people just trying to get along would be a boring race.

The legs of TARI are usually longer and contain more tasks so the yield/U-turn is not that effective as in other versions. In most season after two or three legs teams understand the system a bit better and start to coordinated the votes. Unfortunately, the outcome of this usually manifests in repeated yield/U-turn of the same teams over and over again. Typically, a sightly below average team (a team that is strong enough to overpower the"sheep to the slaughterer" type teams but not strong enough to be in front) is the victim of such strategy and find themselves out between 6h-4th place with the exception of Bar&Inna that were able to pull off a win with the help of two NELs.

Two NELs and a FF (if I'm not mistaken)?
But I remembered at a point on the fifth season in Namibia that of all things, Yael & Yosiel completed the Detour (notice that they're being U-Turned) like faster than several of those who voted to U-Turn them (e.g. Shon & Kim), so I do agree for this kind of longer legs, it's like ineffective or something for those competent teams (unless there are other twists/more challenging tasks near the end of the leg... idk more).

But I remember that in this leg (Leg 10 season 2), Bar & Inna had completed several tasks included the detour before took up a Fast forward

I see, thanks for reminding me about that.
And yes, after that recap and this ep airing atm, it'll also air this Sunday (whoa, another sudden announcement from what I saw on HMLM's official Insta). Enjoy the leg in Nepal, everyone!

Oh no, here come the granola bars on HaMerotz, too. Take that, Clif Bar :lol:
