I mean how many times can you break the rules and still be there! Someone (and not me) is smiling on them. I don't think I would have been so irritated if it hadn't been for Mike and Mel going home because they had become one of my favorite teams along with Margie and Luke.

I think you end up causing problems if you introduce something of worth to a person in a foreign country like that....at least, that's all I can think of.

Keisha and Jen got around by asking for stuff for free. Seems to me bartering with stuff is a better way to go than just expecting people to give you something for nothing. Also, they shouldn't have to finish out the 3+ hour penalty at the beginning of the next race. That's dumb too. And Jamie makes me sick with her attitude towards those who can't speak English. I hope she's humiliated watching these episodes back. Mark and Michael are a few fries short of a happy meal BUT I think that’s a dumb rule. Keisha and Jen got around by asking for stuff for free.
