They’ve worked well as a team, with Jonathan being a strong source of encouragement to his wife.

Especially when it came to Ana and their chance to earn the Express Pass.

Once they had that advantage, they didn’t let the power get to them.

However, it’s a questionable decision as some teams were quite far behind.

It was a terrible move.

In most cases, this should not only catapult them farther in the lead, but it just backfired.

The problem with Ana and Jonathans move is it didnt pay off and only created enemies.

Bernie and Carrigain knew it was their death sentence, thinking it was anything but an accident.

However, what Jonathan and Ana misjudged was how it united every other team against them.

And guess what?Leg 5 has a U-Turn vote.Without a doubt, Ana and Jonathan will be targeted.

It keeps the blood off of everyone else’s hands and handicaps Jonathan and Ana for their foolish move.

The Towns were caught up in the race, there’s no doubt about that.

But power got to their head.

Their power trip will affect every move from this point forward.
