> Or, can they skip _two_ roadblocks with the express pass? As in, do the detour normally with the rest of the pack, and let’s say they get to the roadblock second, just behind the afghanimals, who U-Turn them. Can they now use the express pass to skip both the chosen roadblock _and_ the U-Turn roadblock to just move on to the pitstop?

[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.”
