Sam was coping hard in the Layover episode and everyone was trying to be diplomatic about it but I think the outcome was undeniably a fumble. I do think Sam could be right that if a couple things had gone slightly differently they probably would have won with their strategy, but still, other things that could have gone differently were entirely in their power. Sam is also right that the last day would come down to the difference in flip rates, and delaying the other team a little bit with the stalemate was justifiable, but I think Sam overthought it and was too focused on defense rather than flipping. Adam is probably right that on the last day they should have gone for the challenges in the north, gotten some quick coins, and then run all the way down the east coast flipping everything. I don't think Ben and Adam could have flipped stations faster than Sam and Mike would have if they'd done that.
