PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"I just want to vent" |
Deep breathWhose clever idea was it to put the U Turn that close to the end of the leg? And on an elimination leg? Both of those tasks were going to take a couple of hours, so the team that got U Turned were never going to survive. That was an ideal place for a yield maybe, but a U Turn was just unfair there was nothing Kris and Amanda could do. I was most displeased when I watched this.

I really don't like the U-turn. Margie said they did it to give Cara and Jaimie more time on their task. I have been trying to think of another way to give a team an advantage without destroying another team. I have thought of a way, but it may be too complicated to be useable.

LAST EDITED ON 03-09-09 AT 09:58 PM (EST)Playing devil's advocate for the u-turn: Every team has an equal chance of avoiding the uturn, by getting through the detour as quickly as possible and finishing ahead of other teams. They weren't u-turned because the other teams are "conniving", they were u-turned because they fell behind. Amanda/Kris knew a u-turn was coming up because they were warned on the detour clue, and when they gave up on the wood piles they put a huge target on their backs. In the elimination station video, Kris says it only took them 20 minutes to do the wood stacking after they returned, so it wasn't necessarily a death sentence... they just weren't fast enough at getting the other tasks done. Also, Amanda/Kris were the last team to finish the detour and get to the u-turn mat. Even if Margie/Luke hadn't used it on them, Mark/Michael or Mel/Mike likely would have in order to save their own necks, with the same result.

I knew Amanda and Kris should have stayed with the wood. Not much of their stack fell, and the shutters took forever.

At the very least, if it's going to be a "blind" u-turn, it must be a non-elimination leg, so there's the potential drama of the angry team trying to figure out who did it to them. As it is, Margie and Luke will never have to face their victims, so who cares if it was blind or not?

) have been an improvement over the past few seasons, but I hope they bring back the non-elim and speed bump next time. It's more fun to give the U-turned team a fighting chance!
) we are men of god,er, well, *I* am a man of god, so we would NEVER (crosses fingers behind back) do something like that!
