I also did not understand why Andy and Laura's penalty will be imposed at the Pitstart of the next race. Going into this episode, I was getting the feeling that their are certain teams that the production wants to keep for as long as possible.
Yeah. My jaw actually dropped when Sharon and Melody were eliminated, since because of the Andy & Laura "start of the next race" penalty, I had assumed last night was a non-elimination leg. I thought they still wanted to penalize them despite it being non-elimination. It turns out they wanted to save them. The show lost credibility points with me.
Boring
na, incredible
pa.
When I think about it, though - when Colin & Christie were in the Philippines, they told their taxi driver they needed to be fast, and he complied, saying "I have no choice but to break the law," to which they said, "Good." They didn't receive a time penalty for that at all. Still, imposed penalties whould be uniform to be fair. From the way he stammers, you get the feeling Allan Wu is just making up the rules as teams hit the pitstop. Maybe he has a crush on Laura.
Or Andy.
