Episode 5 live (well maybe not) show updates and discussion
mswood:
Apskip, just curious why do you feel everything is designed to give Nick & Starr an advantage?
And I haven't seen this episode, so that might be way I don't understand (though I do understand that Nick denied having found the clue in Angkor Wat).
Oh, and since I am having trouble getting this episode (and have been swamped with work) thanks for the flight breakdown, I am going to steal it....
apskip:
mswood, I think you misunderstood my comment - "Nick and Starr are bending the standards of competitive behavior. Nothing that they do is illegal; it's just that everything is designed to give them an "unfair" advantage." This is based on behavior from Nick such as being OK to throw a log or branch into the road (on the way to the Siem Reap boat dock) to delay other teams to "hold them up for 30 seconds". Of course it wold have taken more than 30 seconds to do it, so if that's the time the next team is held up it would be counterproductive. The episode at the Bayon Temple was just a comment which any racer on any race might have said to hide the path to the clue they had just found and that another team was near. The latter in my book was acceptable behavior but the former was not, as there was the possiblity of real physical injury to other teams if Nick had actually done it. The key is the philosophy of Nick and Starr, which is "win at all costs" which as you can see I dislike intensely.

lol apskip, nick was probably joking. I seriously doubt he would have thrown a log into the middle of the road.. LOL :umn:
apskip:
Michael, I don't think he was just joking. He will sell his soul for half the $1,000,000 prize. He is opportunistic to the max. Some people would call that slimy.
michael:
Apskip, i can't believe somebody as wise as you is falling prey to the editing of an individual on a reality show.
