I don't doubt that's true, but a team that is two days behind shouldn't be able to come back and win the race which is what happened in All-Stars.

Of course, it's also the first time there was a double U-Turn.

Nick needs to man up and quit bitchin'. This is the second time they got lucky with a non-elim leg, too bad it's wasted on them.
Plus, they didn't have to do the speed bump the first time because of a production issue. Luckiest team ever.

Brook was the blonde. She didn't eat anything. Claire went to puke.

there was an Ostrich Egg Eating challenge, and Boston Rob persuaded about 3 or 4 teams to take the 4 hour penalty, they all took it.

Rather than eat the egg. Then it was a matter of the order in which they started the challenge.

Which was a great move by Rob. All he had to do was convince one team that arrived after him to take the penalty, and he assured his team a place in the next leg.

Boston Rob didn't do that in All-Stars, that was in season 7 and it wasn't an ostrich egg it was 4 pounds of meat at an Argentinian BBQ.
