The chickens were superfluous and unnecessary. It was a mistake and a waste of time to go back for the chickens.

Uh no. Phil’s exact words when describing the Detour were

@Phil

First, teams must pick up two empty baskets and two baskets of live chickens…

As further proof that the TWOPpers will look for anything to get offended about in a TV show, there are a bunch of people on the thread for this episode over there all up in arms. “I didn’t appreciate having an ad for Communism on an American network TV show!”

Someone who thinks that a contest to give $1,000,000 to people, shown on a commercial television network that’s owned by the second biggest entertainment corporation in the world, that’s interrupted explicitly at regular intervals for commercials by private companies and builds in product placement for additional corporate sponsors is secretly promoting communism obviously doesn’t really quite have a grip on the whole communism thing.

Joey and Meghan did U-turn Chuck and Wynonna.

StG

Yes, but it was a BLIND U-Turn. Teams don’t get to know who U-turned them. They just assumed that J and M had U-turned them because J and M had been U-turned before them.

They were correct purely by chance.

Phil certainly made it sound like the chickens had to be delivered, also.

Huh, I must not have been watching carefully enough, because I completely missed that part.
