The Amazing Race 17: Episode 9 - There's a lot of Nuts and Bullets
The race continues in Bangladesh. Tension among the teams runs high when, for the first time ever, two teams have to complete an extra task, jeopardizing their chances of making it to the final four.
So who do we think is getting U-Turned? I'm leaning towards Chad & Stephanie and Brooke & Claire.
Does one team get to U-Turn both teams, or do two teams both get to do one? I know Nick and Vicki were U-Turning someone in the previews (please Chad and Stephanie...)
Is it on time?
I think 2 teams get to U-Turn one team each. I'm pretty sure I also remember Jill & Thomas U-Turning someone in a commercial. That's what makes me think one team is Chad & Stephanie because right now Jill & Thomas are pretty close time wise with Chad & Stephanie and would probably want to slow them down if they are close behind.
[QUOTE=Wilderwolf;222486]Is it on time?[/QUOTE] It is around 10 minutes behind, unless you live in St Louis or New Orleans where I think the CBS NFL late game was blacked out.
[QUOTE=Wilderwolf;222486]Is it on time?[/QUOTE] about 15-20 minutes late, I think. I was wondering if CBS was going to throw us a bone here in StL and start 60 mins on time, since IND-NE wasn't on here (due to Rams home game), but they went to the end of the game @ 6. I assume they did so in New Orleans as well. KC was an early game.
Oh I'm hoping it's Chad and Stephanie. That would just make my night so much better and from the previews it seems like they are mad about something, so the chances seem high. The only thing I'm worried about it the editing they put into the previews because it's always opposite of what I assume.
Nat/Kat and Brook/Claire don't really seem like the type to use a U-Turn either. I can only hope Chad/Steph and Nick/Vicki are the two U-Turned...
I always hate when shows show you the previously part and then the theme song and then go straight to commercial. Always a bummer.
Sugar Cane water? Whoever has to drink that will be the great Cornholio for the rest of the leg.
I highly doubt that Vicki knows where Bangladesh is.
[QUOTE=molds13;222504]I highly doubt that Vicki knows where Bangladesh is.[/QUOTE] I would even go as far as saying that none of these suckers know where Bangladesh is let alone how to spell it.
I'm really hoping Nat/Kat hopping on that train and going to Dubai really pays off for them!!!
LOL @ Jill pouring some of the drink
I know it's good for Jill and Thomas, but I really don't like when one team is way ahead of other teams. It's like we can already tell who is coming in first for this leg it seems.
If I were that far ahead, I don't even know if I'd use the U-Turn.
J&T U-Turn Brook and Claire I'd guess that Team Tats will go for Chad and Stephanie.
[QUOTE=molds13;222519]If I were that far ahead, I don't even know if I'd use the U-Turn.[/QUOTE] It just doesn't make any sense. They are SO far ahead it's not like they are going to be passed anytime soon. I hope that if they are in first this leg and are still way ahead when the next one starts that they will all catch up on a flight or something. [QUOTE=bgstl77;222520]J&T U-Turn Brook and Claire [B]I'd guess that Team Tats will go for Chad and Stephanie.[/B][/QUOTE] I will be so happy if that is indeed the case.
[QUOTE=molds13;222519]If I were that far ahead, I don't even know if I'd use the U-Turn.[/QUOTE] Unless they think that it's coming down to them and Chad and Stephanie for last and try and get them eliminated right then and there. But why do I get the feeling that double u-turn leg will be non-elim?

[B]But why do I get the feeling that double u-turn leg will be non-elim?[/B][/QUOTE] That would just be a waste of an episode I think and the double U-turn was for nothing. Although I'm guessing you might be right, but that would just stink.
[QUOTE=molds13;222519]If I were that far ahead, I don't even know if I'd use the U-Turn.[/QUOTE] There was no reason to use it. Let someone else be the bad guy further down the chain.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;222526]There was no reason to use it. Let someone else be the bad guy further down the chain.[/QUOTE] Exactly. No sense in making enemies this far into the game.
The look on Jill/Thomas' face was like "No **** we came in first." It made me laugh.
[QUOTE=molds13;222529]Exactly. No sense in making enemies this far into the game.[/QUOTE] Molds, we'd make such a smart team. :D
Team Tat made the right decision! I am amazed. Now the first team on the last flight has the power, the way it should be...
I'm hoping Brooke/Claire can U-turn someone because since they are U-turned already it would be funny if they were the other team to put the other U-turn on someone else.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;222534][B]Team Tat made the right decision! I am amazed. [/B] Now the first team on the last flight has the power, the way it should be...[/QUOTE] Probably their best move the whole game. Vicki was finally using her brain.
Smart move by Nat and Kat. That's why you U-Turn someone...
Oh thank goodness Chad/Steph were also U-turned. Makes me feel so much better :D
at this rate, if it's non elim, Jill and Thomas will have left the pit stop before Chad and Stephanie get there.
