Good points on the U-Turn! At first I thought it was a bad idea to U-Turn them (as opposed to another stronger team, not because I didn't want the "ganging up" aspect), but you guys actually changed my mind with the whole notion of them having "hidden potential" compared to Matt and Redmond's "known strength".
I think the reason they put the U-turn at the start of the Detours is to give the U-turned team more of a chance. In the Bad Old Days, you'd go to one Detour, then you go to the U-Turn, see that you've been U-turned, then go back to the second Detour, then have to go back to the U-Turn to get your next clue. Here, you go to the U-turn, see that you've been U-turned, then go do the 1st Detour, then go straight to the 2nd Detour, then continue on your way. Spares you one wasted trip.
Team Fun fans should check out the afterbuzz aftershow on this episode: ua-cam.com/video/TeNoMt6-a74/v-deo.html At one point Joey calls in and the whole thing becomes an extended interview. At the 21:30 mark, he's asked a question that leads to him praising Team Fun very highly.
I think it's cool that you never used the Express Pass and no one ever knew who had it. I'm pretty sure that's a first for the race. I wouldn't have given it away either, at least not without some big trade-off.
Question for you guys: Who coined the name Team Fun for you, did you name yourselves or was it another team? Was there any other names you were thinking of? Not that it would matter because the name Team Fun fits you guys perfectly!
I was really disappointed in how a lot of the teams seemed to be treating Vanck and Ashton where people were calling them the B team and calling Vanck a scrawny annoying nerd in deleted scenes. Why did teams not like them?
I think you guys could win! I'm betting at least you're racing in the final leg! It makes a lot of sense how you're explaining why the UTurn against V+A happened. That was just an interesting Detour because it felt like one side was WAY quicker than the other.
I'm happy you guys didnt use the express pass, but if you had to use it in one of the tasks within the first 5 legs, which one would you have used it on - if you really had to!
Its actually smarter to go through the penalty of using the express pass on the fast forward because the penalty is shorter than the time it takes the fast forward to pass by. spread this to team fun, fellow commenters.
Hey Team Fun! Loving your recaps. You get better every week. Tell us about the other kind of "Pit Stop." What happens when nature calls during the middle of a leg. Are there any rules against relieving yourself in someone's back yard?
Becca, I'm totally with you - Matt's a little cutie! For some reason, I'm really into the way speaks - he is so cool and I wish we get to see more of that blue streak in his hair
They kinda got it,the next episode the team mom and dad u turn team fun (one of the teams that was on the alliance)and team brooke and scott u turn liz and michael (who you turned Vanck & Ashton).Team fun gets eliminated after that and the boys got eliminated the other episode after,the only teams left were Team Mom and Dad who didn't want to u turn Vanck & Ashton Team LoLo That was neutral on this and ironically enough Scott who warned them about the u turn even if he ironically says that this game is to make alliances and then destroy them.
You pass yourselves off as positive fun people on the show but you're as mean as everyone else participating in the bullying. You act so nice but you really just follow whatever the crowd does. What a bunch of fakes.

An Actual Dinosaur Agreed. Team Fun's explanations make sense now. And V & A were a pretty strong team compared to Team LoLo and Team Drama.

Okay, Final 3 if you could pick the teams you compete against who would you pick?
Everything is starting to fall into place now, now that Becca/Floyd has voiced their perspective on the U-Turn controversy.

who was calling out Vanck ? never seen those deleted scenes from Canada
www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/video/FEC57008-31DE-04EA-1AA1-AB1AD8C356F6/the-amazing-race-sounding-like-a-bear/ so Michael and Liz
videos does not play from Canada. Only plays from USA
team fun the best team
If you two got the chance to meet any other team from The Amazing Race who would if be and why???
(Please answer...)
So you won a trip to Argentina! Congrats, but I was wondering. have you gone on the trip and if you have how was it!
Have you taken your winning trip to Argentina yet? Did you both go? Or did one of you gift the 2nd spot to the other?
I think you guys could win! I'm betting at least you're racing in the final leg!
It makes a lot of sense how you're explaining why the UTurn against V+A happened. That was just an interesting Detour because it felt like one side was WAY quicker than the other.

Where is the leg 5 recap? :'(

Floyd where is your fun meter?!?! Aaah
I really liked V&A. I'd much rather watch them than listen to Brooke crying and whining all the time.
How was your trip to Argentina? I was a little confused about going on trips with the blind partner, but now I understand. Hoping you guys will win!!
Hey Team Fun! Loving your recaps. You get better every week. Tell us about the other kind of "Pit Stop." What happens when nature calls during the middle of a leg. Are there any rules against relieving yourself in someone's back yard?
Hey team fun, you guys are my favorite team out of all the Amazing Race seasons. I was wondering, how does Amazing Race casting work?
I know you do an audition tape. If they called you back you can do in person audition.
Becca, I'm totally with you - Matt's a little cutie! For some reason, I'm really into the way speaks - he is so cool and I wish we get to see more of that blue streak in his hair
if u guys don't win do u think you guys will be invited back for all Stars and will u go accept the offer
How did you guys stay hydrated during the legs? Did you develop bonds with your camera crew or were you not supposed to interact with them?
So Floyd is taken, how about Matt for you, Becca?
What would you guys have done if Liz/Michael went after Matt/Redmond?
Giving the Express Pass away might have saved a weak team, and you would get a alliance with that weak team. It's not the worst deal.
Nick Zbinden But then you put a target on your back with the other teams. Especially the stronger ones who now think you're sneaky.
Floyd has a girlfriend, I feel defeated.
The way the teams treated vanck and Ashton were horrid. hopefully they get karma.
They kinda got it,the next episode the team mom and dad u turn team fun (one of the teams that was on the alliance)and team brooke and scott u turn liz and michael (who you turned Vanck & Ashton).Team fun gets eliminated after that and the boys got eliminated the other episode after,the only teams left were Team Mom and Dad who didn't want to u turn Vanck & Ashton Team LoLo That was neutral on this and ironically enough Scott who warned them about the u turn even if he ironically says that this game is to make alliances and then destroy them.
Are y'all together
