And it screwed over Jon/Kelly... too bad it didn't get them elliminated

#3

OK so it wasnt an intended move but they got the fast forward which put jon and kelly in a bad position. And they won a vacation with it so who can complain LOL

I think it was a good use of the FF even when it's not intended. Backtracking would cost them precious time, and since so many teams have yet to use their FF, going after it at a later time might not prove to be a good idea.

4.Jon beats Chuck in the critical race down the cave ladders. They're able to get a slight lead heading into the race for the finish.

Jon was a good 30 seconds behind Chuck (according to Kelly, anyway) and did a great job in overtaking him. (And the shots of Mille losing it were priceless. She must have used up all of her patience waiting for Chuck to commit. )

Had Jon not finished before Chuck, they could very well be out of the race.

Chip/Reichen's FF (#3) is a close second, but I just can't give them Move of the Week because it started with a mistake.

4. Jon versus Chuck was the move of the race thus far. They were both flying up that ladder -- even the clown was taking it slow.

# 3 was a close second. I disagree with the theory (Jon's) that it did not make sense for any of the teams ahead to take the FF. There were only two meaningful FFs left, and four teams yet to take them. If you let Jon/Kelly take it from last place, someone in the first four will be eliminated -- had Millie/Chuck not messed up it could easily have been Reichen/Chip.

I disagree with the theory (Jon's) that it did not make sense for any of the teams ahead to take the FF.

Should it surprise any of us that most of Jon's theories don't make sense or turn out to be accurate? LOL

I'm going with #4. Some of the other choices were opportunities caused by prior mistakes.

(Has anyone noticed the irony? The move that was unanimously voted to be the move of week in episode eight may have indirectly caused the elimination of Millie and Chuck. Instead of sleeping, they tried to find an earlier flight. The lack of sleep caused by this and other plotting may have resulted in Millie being too tired to notice the sign instructing them to make a turn.)

Tough job for you Magic Star! When there are SOOOOOOOOO many not so move this week, inversely proportionally, there will be very little 'move of the week'.

My thought process...(Actually I like the 'not-so-move' better)

1. This is a good move, telling us they are indeed experience traveler. With no more bunching along the way, every seconds do count.

2. Other than good friendship after the whole race, I don't think the clowns will get anything else out of this. At this late of the race, who will give you any critical information and make you win the race? Anyway, as long as Jeff and David don't get themselve in anymore situation which need Jon/Al to waste their time to rescue them, I think that would be of great help already!

3. This is fated. And R/C just follow what the fated move god given them...and win the cruise which they miss just by nick of time in last episode! Actually it's just right to take it as with so many other team not claim their F/F, you might not get it when you need it....as demo by Kelly and Jon.

4. Jon is looking stronger physically...so it's just merely race..nothing so much to do with 'move' or 'not-move'. Anyway, with Kelly know the way to the pitstop and Millie needs Chuck to read the map..even if M/C is in the lead, they will be caught up easily by Jon/Kelly, no matter what.

5. I wonder how does Kelly and Jon actually 'observed' that Chuck is having problem with his gear?? They should be busy looking at the traffic and their way, how could they 'view' M/C like we do? However, the act of 'remembering the way' is indeed of great help, at least that shows that Kelly did not actually give up the race thinking they would lose and still do her part of remembering the route they passed.

My vote: #1, follow by #5, follow by #3.

Go Jonny Go.

#3 - Adaptability keeps good racers in the hunt. Last week it was Millie and Chuck using their time to find an earlier flight. This week it is Reichen and Chip who, upon discovering their mistake, turned their error into an advantage.

My choice would be simply Kelly/John not giving up in spite of the adversity of being soundly beaten to the Fast Forward. Their perserverance enabled them to defeat the hapless Chuck and the strung-out Millie in a race to the finish that was not as close as was edited.

My vote is for #3. We won't know how much of a move it was until we see how much of a head start they have, and whether it become irrelevant with some bunching at the beginning of the next episode. I do think that there's a chance that 2 teams (Kelly & Jon for sure, and maybe joined by the clowns) will go for the fast forward together on one of the next episodes, which will probably cost the team that loses it the game. Reichen and Chip have elimiated themselves from that possibility.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. (or margaritas)

Reichen and Chip make the best of a bad situation, fast forward in to rest, while Kelly and Jon have to fight to remain in last place. No point in backtracking, and it shows that this team knew their options and selected the best one. Good move.
