They both told us they were being strategic with the Yield, which makes zero sense as the blondes clearly were NOT a threat. Their intention was to knock out NFL and they both chickened out of it. Such a lame and cowardly move imo.

Imo they wanted to yield a team that they were sure were in last and had a lesser chance to survive so they wouldn't retaliate, since there is still a W-turn in hand, and it has bigger impact than the yield.
Those two were the last yields anyway so it might not matter how to use.
Yielding NFL was actually a bigger risk to take because not only it would break the promise of the alliance (im pretty sure NFL teams were still in alliance until the RB, or so they thoight) but also gave NFL a motivation to bite them back, since yielded them would have given a little impact to them anyway (H/K were actually far behind from the other team even hadn't they gotten yielded, let alone twice), NFL teams had a bigger chance to survive from the leg than H/K , and in some instances NFL surpassed W/J and the beard bros at some moments of the race

In both instances, the leading team were protecting the other teams in their alliance. Quit ignoring that fact.

Really don't appreciate your condescending tone across the board the past few weeks. You may disagree and that's fine, but no need to be consistently rude about it.
I haven't ignored anything, the fact is they're protecting the strongest teams in the race and knocking out the weakest regardless of if it's their alliance. Again, if they wanted to protect their core 3 alliance they still could have yielded NFL, which they didn't. It's a total cop out.

Agreed with Oval.
That's all there is to the entire incident. There was no smart strategic play involved, it was all petty and pointless and served nothing other than eliminating the weakest team left. It's equally embarrassing for everyone involved to keep pretending otherwise.

No self-respecting superfan of this show would actually believe that 20 minutes isn't gonna hurt a team, especially when time is a critical element of the show's very format. Kaylynn & Haley were Yielded for FOURTY MINUTES. And based on their exit interviews they actually got to the first Yield in time to see Will & James finish so it was definitely a factor in them leaving.

Will’s tweet makes no sense :groan:

I know. His explanation reminds of John about the Express Pass and basically blurting out any excuse that falls out of his mouth in the moment. Obviously none of us know them as people but that's a sign of a conceited personality.

Best Indian leg (esp leg 8 ) since season 18 in my opinion. The casts and route were great, such a shame this alliance made this season less enjoyable. I've had enough comments about the double yield on Kaylynn & Haley, so i don't want to add it. They may not strong racers, but i love their attitude and positivity. I hope they will get second chance in the next all stars (If TAR still continue :D )
