Wrongfully eliminated contestants
Dec 5 2011, 1:18 PM EST
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? The clue was for the contestants to observe the dancers and determine their final destination to the pit stop. They did not complete this task. Two of the couples had the wrong destination and were headed to the statue. The cab drivers communicating with each other took them to the correct destination. So the cab drivers decided who would be finalists, not the contestants. They contestants didn’t even know where they were going. This is so unfair. The boys were eliminated when they were one of the only two that actually completed the task properly. How is this fair???I have been a devote fan and have watched every episode since season 1. This may be my last season, as I am now seeing the show in a new light. This was not an accomplishment of contestants; it was not even a matter of luck, it is borderline cheating. They had a different destination all together when they got into the cab and told the cab drivers to take them to a different place!!! They didn’t even receive a penalty for this. I am appalled and don’t think I will be watching the show anymore. Thank you. 7 out of 15 found this valuable. Do you? |

How is this fair???It is luck and because of luck all the cab drivers took the contestants to the right place, Andy/Tommy were the ones who got unlucky. The taxi drivers have played a huge contribution in the race for many teams. I don't see anything wrong in the last episode. Andy/Tommy just got very unlucky, thats all.. 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

If something like this can set you off so much, then fine, you don't have to watch. But why should the teams have been penalized for something their cab drivers did? They didn't tell the drivers to do this. And also, it has never been against the rules to share answers. I've seen teams share answers many times. This race isn't all about skill, there is a lot of luck involved in it. Sometimes they have bad luck, and sometimes they have good luck. Andy & Tommy were unlucky that day, there's nothing unfair about it. Like I said before, if this one event makes you hate this show that much, then just stop watching. But you cant complain that it was super unfair. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Also, if the cab drivers can HURT the teams (e.g. Gary & Mallory getting totally lost because of a cabbie) why can't they help the team? I don't think they should have gotten a penalty. If you were E/C or M/A would you go back to the dancers? It is most definately not their fault.
