PROPANIACS: Memo to future Racers -- if you find yourself in this "how do I use the Yield/U-Turn?" situation in the future, with only this information:
  1. You know that you're probably near the back of the pack.
  2. You know that another team barely completed the last task ahead of you.
  3. You know that the other team did not Yield/U-Turn you.
  4. You know that the other team consists of a pair of jerks who probably would Yield/U-Turn you, given the chance.
Then there's only one thing you can do in those circumstances, because it's a Race, and that's to assume that you somehow passed that team, and Yield/U-Turn them instead.

The consequences of that decision are what this second straight outstanding leg turned upon, because nothing says TAR Classic like a small group of stressed-out teams having to navigate back and forth across a metropolis in India. (And read the newspaper.) Killer fatigue, killer tasks, one unfortunate bunch but, seriously, if you haven't enjoyed the past two episodes then you shouldn't be watching the Race.
