Re: The Amazing Race... (spoilers)

Posted by Sith Lord Sexypants (aka David) Dec 12 '15, 08:59

The Green Team didn't lose over $50. They agreed to pay the driver $100 for a $50 fare. When they arrived at the destination, he wanted another $100 to wait. They refused to be gouged, and it's the second consecutive season that a cab driver's nonsense directly determined the outcome of the game.

The show's producers won't fix this, but it's a glaring problem with the game.

I'm just thinking when you are depending on someone, saying "I'm in a race for a million dollars" will lead to an expectation of a higher payout. -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 09:38 1
