I was just glad a U-turn was on a elimination leg. It annoys me when they fall on a non-elimination leg. I also dislike teams that whine about being u-turned. It's in the rules of the game so they should be used. This isn't really a social game beyond maybe being friendly with a team or two.

I like how they have the u-turn blind though so people start using it more.

Having said that in this case it was more of a personal one...retribution for breaking the promise they made the previous leg. Now I think it's foolish of the other team to expect such a promise to be honored but you also have to expect some sort of retribution if you were the guys who did the promise breaking. Why can't competitors just tip their cap and say "well played".
