Anyone want to fill me in on exactly what went down?
Oh, um, the blondes thought they were in second-to-last (they weren't), and one of them pushed to U-Turn what's their names, who the blondes thought they saw coming up behind them (it wasn't them). At the time, I don't think it seemed like such a steamroller, but I guess the other one didn't like the negative reactions of the other teams? I could be wrong about any or all of this.
And what does the U-Turn entail? How is it different from a Yield?

The team that is U-Turned has to complete both Detour tasks. And they don't find out until they have completed one and gone to get the next clue.
So it's actually much more interesting than the Yield where a team is just sitting around for half an hour.
Perzactly. Though I don't recall them showing them actually DOING the second task - just turning around to go do it. But I could be misremembering.

I think they were able to do it pretty fast (after the guy figured out that you have to stand in the water to get the gold effectively) and they were remarkably good natured about it.
That's about it. They thought the last place team was on their heels, so they did exactly the right thing and U-Turned them (made them do both detour tasks before they could go on).
(As it was, the actual last place team was far enough behind that they wouldn't have caught up anyway. Without realizing it, the blondes had caught up to and passed a different team, who were the people they saw coming up behind them.)
Cue the usual variety of reactions, which for the most part, @@. But whichever one of the blondes it is seems to have bought in to the whole "unfair! dirty play!" shit. Not sorry to see the last of their bickering and second-guessing.
One of the blondes wanted to do the U Turn and the other didn't think they needed it, but the blonde who wanted to do the U Turn just went ahead and did it.
There was some speculation on worldcrossing that they meant to U Turn the team that was right behind them (the couple that came in first this week -- the hippie couple) and mistakenly U Turned the last place team.

Well, but they didn't know it was the hippie couple right behind them - they thought it was Jason and Lorena.
Yeah, they clearly thought that TK and Rachel were Jason and Lorena. I like the u-turn and given what they thought there circumstances were: the Blondes were totally right to use it. It's too bad that it turned out to be a moot point and that they couldn't deal with the aftermath.
