Penalty opportunity for will & james?
I wonder if they were given the option to wait for a replacement car?Penalty opportunity for will & james?
You know I'm really amazed this season we have yet to see a team penalized.
Haley struggling shows that teams potentially could've passed each other at the RB were it not for Hung obeying an alliance that won't reciprocate... what could've been
Honestly I would've been mad if the blondes got eliminated here.Michelle & Victoria would have struggled with direction this leg also :lol:
.... but I'm even more sad that we were robbed of at least 2 more legs with Michelle & Victoria :( :(
How Will & James didn't get a penalty is beyond me. Going back, did the clue state they had to drive all the way to Andel's Hotel?Phil said they had to park their cars there.
I thought for sure they'd get a penalty of some sort- what's the threshold for distance- what's to stop a team from driving a Trabant from the Berlin Wall to the nearest parking lot? Or is there a level or forgiveness because they walked?How Will & James didn't get a penalty is beyond me.

Even without alliances, it's annoying when teams share answers during Roadblocks like during TAR 18's Liechtenstein leg.This! There should be rules about sharing answers when it's a task that requires teams to actually perform the task in order to solve the problem/question. What's the point of staging elaborate tasks then if teams don't even need to do them.
So this leg had two season 6 references with the East Side Gallery and the return of the Hungarian cars plus a season 22 reference with the flashing letters.They're blondes, I think it's pretty self-explainatory.

Kaylynn & Haley had to be born under a lucky star considering their three leg performance.

I'm going to see if they explain it in their next video recap because this was just odd. I'm going to assume right now since the clutch broke as they said, that would've resulted in a replacement car, but I do remember back in TAR6 in Hungary that Phil said they were "extremely unreliable" so I thought production would've known to provide replacements.I thought for sure they'd get a penalty of some sort- what's the threshold for distance- what's to stop a team from driving a Trabant from the Berlin Wall to the nearest parking lot?

Wrong transportation seems to always be a 30 minute penalty, extra time is added if a time advantage is gained. Baffled me too, even Leo and Alana pushed their car to the front of the hotel when it broke down.
To be honest though I lost faith with production properly applying penalties during the 24 finale.
It's funny because I don't understand why Will/James get all the hate for the alliance? I mean maybe it's because they talk about it the most?
For the roadblock, it really really really would have change the whole episode if Chee didn't help the other teams...Same with Leo helping Aparna (I mean she guess A rare steak, so she would have been there for a while).
Somehow all the teams got "Chekhov" during the bobsled luge Roadblock in TAR14's Siberia visit, and that's not a very commonly seen or used name. Sauerkraut is relatively easier in comparison since it's general in grocery stores and menus around the world.

I think MOST of the teams would have had to take a penalty. I don't think more than 1 or 2 would have gotten Sauerkraut...remember the letters and then unscramble in your head? I do word puzzles a lot but without being able to write this down and fiddle with it made it VERY difficult.
Also wondering if there were unseen penalties for the cars... ???
Haven't seen the insider videos yet but HOPING there are some answers there!!

This leg was just an all-around mess between the Trabants to the Detour.
So many comments/tweets about this. We said it on the show, the two options we were given:
- Fix the clutch
- Run
That’s why we didn’t get a penalty, no rules were broken. #AmazingRace
Thanks for bringing the scoop! :tup:I'm going to see if they explain it in their next video recap because this was just odd.

James has already posted this on his twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesWallington/status/1329496537508978688QuoteSo many comments/tweets about this. We said it on the show, the two options we were given:

They made the right call themselves but I'm still peeved production let them get away with not parking the car out the front of the hotel.
It's almost like production seemed aware the cars would break and wouldn't last the whole leg and that's why they ditched them for taxis after the roadblock. Two legs in a row they just stop using the cars half way through the leg, such bizarre leg planning imo.

That's helpful, thanks.

Peach, At the moment I can’t remember where Will and James mentioned this (either their social media or their recap), but the route marker clue about the cars had additional instructions that if the car broke down, they either had to fix it or run to the next location. They ran, and there was no penalty.
The mine five keeps ruining this :/ Sucks for Kaylynn and Haley to fall behind so much just because they were last with no one to help them solve it. Only Hung, Leo and Haley solved it, yet the other four teams got a free pass because of it!I’ve already answered this two posts above yours.The supplementary sheet with the clue was probably different in season 26.
Also, wasn't in 26 that bergen and kurt hd to go back for their car, yet James and Will and their weird distaste for leo and alana just go to leave their car in the street for it to get a ticket? smh..
