St. George, the dragon-slayer, is the patron saint of Arachova, and the largest church on the top of the highest hill in town is dedicated to him. The festival is kicked off in fine form with the race of the yeroi, the old men of the town who are astonishingly agile as they clamber up the stone steps without so much as a gasp for air.
If Brooke chooses Matt/Redmond, Tara/Joey may not need to u-turn anyone and give the chance to Matt/Redmond (except they are already the last team)
The preview definitely gave a firm idea that RedMatt are U-Turned by ScottBrooke.
But I speculate that LoLo are behind and get the second U-Turn from RedMatt.
All three teams are together at the board and it looks like Tara & Joey get the clue first
I have been waiting for a Greece leg, for TWENTY seasons!
Hopefully it delivers!

Where is it known that they are last? ???
I think the one on the lower-right may be mom/dad. I haven't got the other one yet.
On a different topic, still no closer to the airline in the promo caps (here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,32826.msg1189652.html#msg1189652)).
Flight from Venice to Bari? Doesn't make much sense.

Could that possibly be Ferry seating and not Plane Seating? Unusual to fly Business...and no economy gives you wine these days!
As for Brooke & Scott, I think it's typical of Brooke to need the cushion in case she whines and slows down the team in a certain task later on.
The order makes sense, as I say Brooke/Scott should be in front of the other 2 teams to decide to use the U-turn.
Not sure the motives of mom/dad using it on Team fun, as M/L still got a Speed Bump and then a u-turn, very likely cannot catch up. Why don't leave the choice open for M/L to use?
But to be honest I think all are so strange that even at this stage, no one thinks about u-turning Matt/Redmond? Don't they see they are the biggest threat?

:res:
You all give Brooke so little credit she PASSED two teams just last leg on her own efforts after being in last place for quite some time due to the watertaxi??????

True enough she did well last leg, but you'll never know it could be a just-in-case kind of thing since she might not be confident about some tasks later in the leg. I'm pretty sure she didn't expect whatever happened with the ladle roadblock.
The 3rd pre-detour W-turn this season annoys me already despite the episode not yet airing. I hope this does not become a permanent thing for future seasons.

For newbies reading us, can someone explain EXACTLY why this is a bad thing? Thanks!

I don't think this should even be a question.
Having a Detour AFTER the U-Turn defeats the ENTIRE purpose of the U-Turn.
Notable modern TAR moments with the U-Turn include:
-Kisha & Jen nearly surviving but getting eliminated via bathroom break (14)
-Joe & Heidi getting U-Turned to the point of being philiminated on the course (16)
-Caite getting her revenge on Carol & Brandy (16)
-The exciting battle between Chad & Stephanie and Brook & Claire in Bangladesh (17)
-KENT & VYXSIN U-Turning JAIME & CARA to their faces in China (18)
-Our Emmy award winning episode in Tanzania entirely focused on the drama of the U-Turn (20)
-Natalie & Nadiya inventing an entirely new strategy (21)
-The intense battle of TAR22's Germany Night Leg
-"Push me again one more time" "AND WHAT???!?!!!!" (25)
I really doubt any of these moments would have ever happened if the U-Turn was before the Detour. Having a U-Turn AFTER the Detour is truly the only way it should be done - you don't give a person entering into war from the start a tank (U-Turn), you make them work through smaller-scale battles first (Detour).
Or maybe the next episode--on the way out of town?

fwiw Scott is wearing a different shirt as he attempts to bungee jump so I'm inclined to think it's at the start of the next leg.
If that's the only RB for that leg :dick
"Good Job, Donkey"-- In this Speed Bump, Michael/Liz must prepare Kokoretsi, a local cuisine of intestines wrapped on a skewer, in order to continue on the race on THE AMAZING RACE
"Good Job, Donkey"--In this Road Block, Tara, Becca, Brooke, Matt must perform a changing of the guard with the elite Evzones soldiers in order to receive the next clue
So they revealed the W-turn on purpose? Or maybe just because they didn't block the W-turn board properly unlike TAR28 Leg 10's. ??? Either way the giveaway makes me think why.
Tara & Joey's motives make me think this time. ??? Why Becca & Floyd? I'm guessing because Matt & Red was right behind them, and they didn't want to pull a Kynt & Vyxsin? What if Becca & Floyd was ahead of them, and they used it to really put Mike & Liz way behind, or maybe they didn't know Becca & Floyd was ahead or behind? ??? I guess I can only wait and see it myself.
As for Brooke & Scott, I think it's typical of Brooke to need the cushion in case she whines and slows down the team in a certain task later on. It reminds me of Joey & Meghan U-turning Chunk & Wynona because they are the team they can surely beat.

Close enough, but not exactly.
