How dare a team "cheat, lie and steal to stay in the competition" :cmas3 :cmas10

It really goes on how you compete.
For example, in track (i.e. another race), you generally don't try and do anything that impedes the other racer. You are simply trying to do your best and hoping your best is better then theirs.
I honestly do have a strong perference for this type of competition. Even with my favorite team, I didn't like it that they cancelled teams cabs. That was somewhat balanced by the fact that they actually owned up to it, before the race left the airport. Why BJ & Tyler didn't yield them is beyond me....
But there are many competitions where you have rules for what is an allowable for means and whys of trying to impede another competitor. Soccer and Football for example have a lot of that.
I understand that lying is used on the race. The thing I don't care for is two fold. Hypocrisy. Or a team who lies to a team and also lies to the audience.
Take Rob and Amber compared to Dustin & Kandice. In general I like BQ's a lot more (a lot more). But one thing I liked about Rob is that he usually would be honest in confessionals or to the audience. I loved that BQ's yielded Bama and Eric & Danielle, both were smart choices. I didn't care for them not owning up (to the audience) about deceiving teams about their use of the Yield in season 10. I mean common on be honest with us....

Well in most cases of organized competition lying and cheating are usually reasons to be banned.
Take Survivor (which I barely watch. But I did watch most of I think Cook Island. Where in my mind you had to very different but successful survivors. Ozzie and Yul. I liked both, a lot. But I honestly prefer Ozzie.
Obviously just a viewers choice for what type of style they like.

--- Quote ---I now think that the proper wording, for multiple reasons, is "the Goths were the best team ever." Reason 1 is that I have lost respect for a team that would cheat, lie and steal to stay in the competition. Is this what real goths do?

there are so many things wrong with this sentence -- 1, the proper wording for YOU is "the goths were the best team ever", many people enjoy teams who are cut throat and are willing to be bastards to get ahead in a game when racing for 1 000 000 dollars. 2, what exactly do you mean by "Is this what real goths do?" -- are you saying that because that all Blondes would yield you in your tracks in every day life? Do all couples who wear red like to lie?
