That fast forward must have been really far out of the way. The scientists went to six merlion statues compared to the cyclists’ one, but the scientists still finished ahead of them. The detour was a fixed amount of time, so there was no other difference for either team the whole leg. Meanwhile, the dentists must have absolutely _crushed_ that crab leg task because they were slow on the tightrope but still finished ahead of the scientists despite having a 40 minute flight deficit to make up. If checking all six statues made up that 40 minutes, was going to the wave pool 30 minutes each way? The wrestlers were idiots. They should have been doing everything in their power to ensure the scientists stayed in the race, and that the eliminated team would be either the cyclists or surfers. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/amazing-race-11-28-youre-taking-my-tan-off/705870)._
