Was I just confused, or did the second team to arrive get a U-Turn extra task thing? That seemed weird to me. Why penalize the second team? And why wouldn't they just wait and not check in and give it to the next team to arrive? Better to be third with no extra task, I think.

They were the last team to complete the first task (Qantas) which resulted in them receiving the U-turn. It had nothing to do with the timing of their arrival on the mat.

I wonder why several teams all missed the "between". It's not like a single letter. And yet, what, three teams missed it?
I wonder which teams were considered to repeat but were unvailable, uninterested or had status changes that would have affected their participation. I doubt the collection we see in this episode were all first choices.
Interesting that this time the last team ws not eliminated but was instead has to complete both tasks. Basically, this is what happens on a non-elim episode but isn't being identified as such. I wonder if the producers recognized that bumping out a team immeidately was a bit harsh and the first episode should offer a bit of slack. Or if the teams, now experienced, wouldn't participate if there was a first round elimination.

1. Work together is fine, each takes half combine. Be an idiot, pray someone helps, not fine.
2. How hard is it to figure out QANTUS. It the first letter of each freaking word.
3. Between the devil and the deep blue see is a pretty famous expression for being in a quandary.
4. Jet and Cord are acting like idiots so far. Too bad, I like them. Mostly, as long as the cheerleaders or margie and luke lose, I'm fine with any of them.

They got the U-turn because they were the last team to finish the very first task (the Qantas flag). That was stated as the penalty before the race even started. They finished second because of the plane issues and Phil was just reminding them that they still had that u-turn coming up.

They got the U turn because they were the last one to bring in the flag at the start. It just hadn't happened yet in the first half of the 2 show leg, so Phil was reminding them that it was still coming up. Luckily for them the plane thing happened so they came in second even tho they started last.
Whoops--way too slow on that.....

Um...just what do you think the next-to-last word is? "Underwater"? (How easy did you say it was again?)

Aaaaah. Sneaky way to have a non-elim without calling it that.

Yes but technically they're still racing on leg #1. Phil needed more camera time I guess on this first leg.

Oh, that U-turn thing makes a lot more sense now! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I remember looking Vyxsin up when they first appeared, and she seemed to have been a reasonably well-known personality in the Goth community even before TAR -- so if it's a joke, it's being played on the entire world.

Some googling indicates that he is not Kent Jr... his dad's name was Bill. But "Kent Kaliber" was his birth name, and he changed it back to that from "Kynt Cothron".

LOL. OK, So shoot me, I screwed up the spelling. OTOH, had you asked me what Qantas stood for, I knew that. Long before this show. The benefits of being an airplane geek.

They've done that a few times. I have no idea why. Last time I recall it was in India but they've probably done it since then.

I never noticed what "Qantas" stood for.
Not sure about everyone else, but when the clue stated it was an Aussie airline, I immediately thought of Qantas because of those old commercials with the Koala.
Guess I'm showing my age, huh?

I'm not sure that was a Pit Stop or not. Mallory specifically mentioned "Pit Stop" when reading the clue. It is possible that she paraphrased and Pit Stop was not actually mentioned in the clue.

Thanks to all for the info about the delay of planes in earlier seasons...like I said, I have only been watching for the last 3 or 4 seasons-but OMG is this show hee-larious at times!

So either the cowboys are eliminated or this was one the non-elimination leg. Would the producers really have a non-elimination leg this early?

Qantas is the only Australian airline I would have known, so it would have been easy for me (even with just the "Queensland and Northern Territories" part!).
I can't stand the cheerleaders...not in a "get them off my screen" way, but just in a "they're a pain to watch" way. Sorry, they don't "do it for me", but I assume they're there for just the scenery for male viewers.
As a guy, "cheerleaders" don't work for all straight men, believe it or not.

Or it is a leg that is simply ongoing and they are taking 2 episodes to show all of it, as has been done in at least one previous season.

Ok-did no one else see Kynt smack that Aussie Finish Line guy's ass as he ran away? It's worth re-watching to see the guys expression!

The only way that couple is "dating" is if one of them is a transexual. I can't believe the ruse is still in place from the last time they were on the show.
