Hmmm, does the little ad with "what does this team listen to etc" indicate who is going to be eliminated?
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Thrive to spite them
That wasn't cool of the BQs to make it seem like Danny and Oswald picked the team, instead of admitting that they picked who were Yeilded.
One the other hand, Yielding is part of the game and I hate when racers treat it like it's playing dirty.
I think that this was kinda dirty.

Yeah, it felt wrong. And I was REALLY surprised that this was an NEL. So, next week is the second to last episode and it's going to be an elimination leg. I think it's going to be nasty.

I think all yield legs are NEL. Aren't they?

Are they?
That's kind of stupid - isn't it? What would have happened had E/D NOT made the 30 minute penalty before D/O came in? Would they have been eliminated or would they have been given another chance?

Yes, I hope E/D find out that it was the BQs. And I agree that I hate it when racers treat the Yield like it's playing dirty, but I can't help but think that buying a second yield for yourself is pretty low. It was smart racing all around--especially since it almost always makes sense to yield the team in last place--but it feels wrong somehow.

Well, it's not as if the BQs walked up to the D/O and offered them the deal -- the Cha Chas offered it to them because they were the second team to arrive.

Like I said--it was smart racing. By the Cha Chas and the BQs. It just doesn't seem quite fair somehow.

I can't believe Danny and Oswald stuck with that cab driver for so long.
That whole yield thing was - eh. I'm kind of surprised it's allowed, anyway. Could you pay off another team to tank on a task? Trading off goodwill and favors and stuff is one thing. The cash seems iffier.
I hate when yields and FFs coincide with a NEL. What's the point, you know?

Because books.
I'm getting enormously tired of hearing reality TV contestants talk about people "stabbing them in the back." It's a million dollars, or whatever the prize is. I'd yield my mother if I thought it would help me win (although I would share the winnings with her).
I don't understand why everyone hates the BQs. I like them more this time around than last, although I didn't hate them then either. They're smart, they're polite, they're good-natured, and they're obviously competitive and willing to do the work. They're not mean-spirited and obnoxious. What's to hate? It seems a bit like a Jonathan-in-the-clock-tower moment.
