Shall do a blogpost before going back to study.

Haven't really been studying much. And today I paid the price. Thanks to the release of phantom on 15th November, it has really became a huge distraction. Seriously, lv 142 in less than 2 weeks? I think this is like my first and probably only and last time chionging so much. Today's paper was a total shocker!! Didn't expect it to be so tough and mindblowing. Guess what I've been doing is just insufficient and I have to work harder!

Just watched Amazing Race, and I was quite furious at the use of the U-Turn. Yes, It is a strategical move to help yourself advance further into the game. The way Natalie & Nadiya and Trey & Lexi do it, it's not. They practically bullied Abbie & Ryan out of the race. I suppose if the second U-Turn was still available, they would have beat Josh & Brent. And Josh & Brent surprising outlasted 3 strong teams! Rob & Kelley (because of a bad decision to take the train), James & Abba (because they lost the passport), and Ryan & Abbie (because of the U-Turn saga). I am sure this will spark a huge debate on the forum once again, like when Ernie & Cindy U-Turned Bill & Cathi. But personally, I respect Jaymes & James' decision to U-Turn. They need to win because they really needed the money, and trying to boot their strongest competitor - Ryan & Abbie, out of the race is correct. However, Trey & Lexi sealed their fate by wasting the U-Turn. This really brings U-Turns to a higher level. Perhaps, next time they will introduce a Triple Yield or something. It's really smart of them to think of this technique though. But Ryan & Abbie, you had a good run! Just that luck is not on your side in Amsterdam!
