I agree with you, Kogs. Bama sure can dish it out too, but they can't take it. They appear to be more "evil" than the BQs in my eyes. They even badmouthed the Cho brothers (behind their back, of course) when the guys were waiting for them! That said, having a 6pak alliance is just crazy the way they were playing it. Sure, be friends, that's great. But people...this is a RACE for MONEY! Be helpful, polite, all that stuff....just don't put yourself in jeopardy as the Chos did. They were terrific guys, but it was apparent they weren't going to go all the way in TAR.

TAR IS ABOUT winning 1MILLION DOLLARS, not making sure you be friends with joe shmoe and his wife, friends,brother,father, or jane doe and her friend or daughter or mother. the 6 pack is what made some of the episode's boring. yes david and mary are good people but again they were not good racers. the cho's are mediawhoring there website right now and where also bad racers. lyn and karlyn as you saw can't outrun any1 and yes they maybe good with maps, but stink as racers. people should ENJOY the race, and if some1 yields yeah, or does something that pisses you off because they are better at the game, don't whine like the 2 year olds lyn and karlyn are. all season we delt with the 6pak crap, but rivalry's are what make tar better, not some crappy allience because you're always in the back and don't want to be nice to everyone else aka lyn and karlyn. I'd rather watch ROMBER and kami and karli over any memeber of the 6pak.

For me its really simply.
I like good teams.
Teams that don't fight amoung themselves, teams that don'y fight or insult locals, teams that respect countries and customs, teams that play fair, and teams that aren't confrontational with other teams.
Now no team is perfect. But the closest match this season is Tyler & James
But I don't hate the BQ's I just wish they were nicer and not so damn self absorbed. You want to run a strong independent race, then ran a strong independant race, but don't screw people over when doing it. Don't get pissed off at a team for trying to prevent a local from helping you, when you did the same thing the leg before. If you make an alliance (make it wisely, but stick to it for the duration), don't try to consistently take help and agree to help in return and not. Don't not tell someone that their car's tire is going flat. Thats a terrible, terrible way to play. If you told him, you win. Your a good person, you decrease the chance of them getting a blowout or losing control of their vehicle. ANd they most likely stop for sure and you get infront of them. Its a win-win. Really as far as that goes only Romber not stopping to see if anyone was hurt was a worse safety move I have seen in this race (I can't remember if Teri & Ian tried to tell Ken & Gerard about their flat if they didn't then bad on them as well).
Rob & Kim, they run a far race, they keep their alliance. But just chill out a little more. Both of them need to treat each other with more respect. The show makes Rob look worse, the clips make Kimberly look worse, so I think both could work on it. And when you have taxi problems try and act a little more like your friends Tyler & James when they have taxi problems.
Karlyn & Lyn. You know at times (small brief periods, I can almost really like this team). In ,leg four they seemed great, when they raced by themselves and stopped bitching about every other team. ANd how bad you think they percieve you. This leg, if you would have lost the hypocrisy I would have loved you in this last leg.Run your own race, if you are going to complain about others, or run with your group but keep your mouth shut. Don't bitch about D & K letting a team get ahead with them. When minutes earlier you tried to get a ticket agent to stop helping Rob & Kim. Don't blame Tyer & james when thy tell you to leave the agent alone and that you should calm down and say how they would be doing the same thing. When you know they wouldn't. You were there when Two teams pushed their way in front of them getting bus or train tickets to Mongolia (insider Clips) they kept their mouths shut, delt with it and never said a cross word to anyone about it, especially not the ticket agent. Don't complain about people begging and how you think it not right to do and then had besides we aren't succesful when we do it. Don't bitch about a team outrace you. Unless their is a marked path and an sign in or pull sheet it who ever can get it fastest. Don't so someone deserves getting hurt just becasue they are faster tehn you are.

Nicely stated, mswood. Your summation of the teams and their playing style was right on and you make many valid points. This statement sums it up nicely:

Some might disagree only because they enjoy the backstabbing, complaining, and tension teams like Romber bring to the game. That should be in some OTHER game, if people like that sort of thing, but not TAR!
I deleted my previous comment because I had been impulsive once again. What I had meant to say was that I understood how Kogs would feel that way, not that I did also. I'm only one little person here and a small voice, but I do like to speak up to say I was hasty in writing before thinking things through. Not that it's a big deal to anyone else....but it is to me.

In fact really none of the teams are terrible people. BQ are just driven to the point of not caring about anything else, and its not the first time we ahve seen that type of team.
Rob & Kim are amoung a long line of argueing couples ont he race, and really they are so much nicer then many of the other argueing couples on the race.
Really Lyn & Karlyn as team are one of the most neegative overall (at least with the footage seen they might be great ladies, and we do see them at times being nice and having a good time, but it is so infrequent. But I would certainly take this team over the abusive, annoying and seemingly intitled Jonathan & Victoria.
