Well, Vixxen and Kent caught up due to one train leaving in the early evening. And they do get a penalty for taking the wrong flight, just at the next Pit Stop...
I think overall, the U turns were reasonably played, given the reasons; Kent & Vixxen had a team right there so they knew they could U-turn them, as opposed to their first season when they U turned someone who was already ahead of them, and Jaime and Cara U-Turned a team they were fairly sure was behind them (I lost track at that point). Jaime just couldn't do the fossil challenge to take advantage.
And it turned out that Kent & Vixxen only lost one position from their time penalty, so that was fortunate on their part.
It didn't seem that a lot of people were checking the fossil diagram to double-check their work, since they made a show of showing the cowboy doing it and not showing others. So I'm going to conclude that not a lot of people indeed didn't check and it turned out to be a poor decision for most, since a lot of people had to take apart their skeleton to redo the "crux" piece and turn it around.
Funny how Mallory and dad used their Express Pass (which was a pretty good decision) but didn't get first, as the cowboys "sped" through the fossil challenge and beat them to the Pit Stop.
