BTW in last week’s thread we reached the conclusion that if the Cowboys used the express pass but got U-turned, the U-turn wouldn’t matter:

> [The Wikipedia article on TAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race#Express_Pass) claims, without citation, that “If a team used the Express Pass to skip a Detour and that team is U-Turned, the U-Turn is void.”

but last night, they certainly seemed to believe that if Dave & Connor had U-turned them, the U-Turn would apply to them. One of them flat out said “I can’t believe we were standing right there and they didn’t U-Turn us.” Interestingly, they had used the Express Pass on the build-a-donkey task, which means they would have had to do the ride-a-donkey task, which is essentially the definition of “in their wheelhouse.” So it’s probable they were thinking that all along - keep the riding as the backup task if they did get U-turned.
