last night's "amazing race" - spoiler alert

11 years ago

What do you think about the team who found/stole another team's money? I thought it was funny that the thieves "shared" the find with another team so that the guilt would be "shared", too.

I was amazed that the team that lost the money was able to beg enough to cover the loss, in Bangladesh, no less!

I was also amazed that Phil didn't mention the theft to the teams involved!

Sorry to see "Monster Truck" team go - I really liked them.

Now I'll be rooting for the long-haired hippie lawyers.

I thought the thieves should have been thrown out of the race.

I think they should have given the money back. That
was a real rotten thing to do. I thought Phil might
have doled out some punishment when they showed up
at the check in place. I think they should have to do
something else along the way. But, hopefully, karma
will show up soon!

Renee has a good point. Given that they are racing there are a lot of things done that would be rude under other circumstances. From the way taxis are hailed,the pushing and shoving through crowds and probably a lot of public vomiting during food challenges. It would be interesting to see a series of real behind the scenes "how I survived the Amazing Race" shows. But we won't see that because they want new contestants to not have the background info. A LOT of editing goes on. You could see he was looking around with a kind of urgent look on his face before he said he had to go and then decided to use the corner. Possibly a corner with a drain. The producers decided to leave it in. I'm sure plenty of racers have done the same. Especially the men. Personally I was amazed at how daintily they were eating the schnitzel. Forget the knife and fork. Pick it up and eat. That would be the only way to get all the at food down in the allotted time.

Sorry you don't get to be Miss Teen USA just on looks alone. She has a good academic record (honors) and was a student at Appalachian University until she moved to the West Coast. You have to consider the editing on these reality shows. Yes she flubbed her answer during the pageant but that was probably just due to stress and being overwhelmed at the prospect of being so close to the crown. Of course the edits are going to capitalize on this and make her appear dumb. They give everyone a role to play on the show. She unfortunately was cast as the dumb blond. I like her spirit and her determination. She seems to be a likable young woman who is not full of herself.

I loved that task! I don't know why anyone would choose to churn butter rather than that!! I'm getting sick of the whining by the girl who was in the team that finished first last night. I'm ready for her to leave next.

Hi Kids, Well, as I said in my OP, I was disapointed in the ending. I thought the Goths were a good team but they sure messed up that U-turn. Even with that, it looked like they almost made it to the Pit Stop in time. They had a positive attitude and they like each other. They even made the most of their 'Speed Bump'! I hated to see them go. Nate and Jen are almost funny with all the complaining they do. I hope they are the next to go...but I've been saying that for a few weeks now. They both whine, yell and act like children. I hope they are not in the final three... I like the Grandfather and Grandson but I agree with Cameron, it would be nice to hear something insightful from one of them. But then again...they ARE both male. Father and Daughter are good but he is just AWFUL with the way he talks to her. I hope this is a learning experience for him...how could it not be when he sees himself on tape! TK and Rachael are OK but I don't see much strength in them. It was a good show last night but, we are getting down to the end...YIKES...it feels like we just started! Who do you think will be in the final three? Any talk about when the next Race will start? I hope we don't have to wait until next Fall. sooey

I didn't like it either. Thought for sure there'd be some kind of penalty when they got to the mat. I'm glad the guys kept it quiet, but I'd like to see their reaction when they find out that one of the teams had their money and not some stranger.

I think it was disgraceful. I don't like the twins or the other couple who shared the money. . I like the Chippendales and the goat farmers.

It was the first episode I watched, so I don't know who to like or not like yet, but I thought that was pretty low. But it is a competition, and they did lose it. From what it looked like it was just laying there, it could have been anyones. I just know that morally I could not do that.

I will definitely be rooting for the twins to be the next to go! That was very unsportsmanlike, and they should have been penalized.

I agree, the twins were very unsportsman like and I think they should have been called out for that.

It has been said during past seasons that if a team breaks a law, they are penalized -- and the penalty has been applied when, for example, a team has a taxi driver make an illegal move to get through traffic; or when a team that's doing the driving makes an illegal move.

I can't imagine that stealing money is legal in any country, especially one with so much poverty, so I am surprised that nothing was done.

I personally can't stand the "twinnies" and have to turn the sound down when they're talking. I hope, hope, hope they are the next to go.

Technically, they did not steal the money, they found it. Because they eventually knew who it belonged to, they committed a moral wrong, but not a legal wrong. At least that's how I saw it.

But "finding" money and knowing it belongs to someone else; and knowing to whom the money belongs but keeping it anyway, is equivalent to stealing.

They knew exactly what they were doing they knew exactly who the money belonged to and they willfully took the money knowing that it was WRONG! I hope karma slaps them real hard. I think they should be called out about it and have a consequence for their actions.
I think they basically forced the other team to take part of the money so they wouldn't be the only guilty ones.

The fact that the guys were able to so quickly recover in that country was amazing and was very good karma at work which makes me think that the negative karma will be fierce for the twins.

I am sure their families are so proud of their behavior.

The fact that the guys realized in the same room with them that their money was missing is an important part of this equation, they could have very easily said oh wait we found it, here you go.
