It's been long established that the smarter move is to use the U-turn early on as a defensive move if you have to and use it for offensive later on.

However, they did it out of concern that the answer sharing Leo & Alana would keep doing just that and they didn't want to be in a situation in which their answer sharing cost them the race.

They struggled in the first leg but were able to make up ground once they got to Colombia. However, they ran into bad luck in the form of the dreaded bad taxi. Their driver hadn't charged his phone, meaning he couldn't use GPS to get them to their location. He drove around in the general area for a long time before they were able to find it. They couldn't catch back up and got eliminated.
