If they were to do Heroes vs. Villains for The Amazing Race?

I think teams know perfectly well that if they try to sabotage in anyway, they WILL receive a time penalty. :lol:

I don't think those mistakes were intentional. Why do you believe Mark & Michael were trying to mess things up? ???

There were given a 30 minutes penalty. :res:
It was intentional.. look at the scene where he messed up the tools. Which part of it doesn't look intentional? And TAR Producers wouldn't let Phil give them a 30 minutes penalty for no reason? :groan:

Oh, sorry, forgot about the pumps. I was referring to the Leg 8 penalties. :tup:

I disagree. We as the audience didn't even know there was a rule against that, so it's not too far-fetched to say that perhaps the racers didn't know, either.
But despite this, I don't think a penalty should have been applied at all. Mark & Michael weren't trying to interfere with the race itself; they were trying to get an advantage against the other teams. To me that's not the same kind of thing as, say, breaking the pumps so that the task cannot be completed. I see a clear difference between the two.

Didn't you once say here that while on a Pit Stop you told A&K that you wouldn't U-Turn them?

Nope, I never said that to them. I wanted to get them out soon as possible. Then, Tammy & Victor were next on my list.

That was Margie, according to Amanda & Kris. :tup:

Ah yes. That was Jen and Kisha who twisted it everything up - they said we would U-Turn A&K but we never said that we would U-Turn them directly. Go back to Amanda and Kris' interviews. You'll notice that they backpedaled it up on second half of the day when I sent them an email that we never said then Jen and Kisha admitted that they twisted the words up. Amanda and Kris apologized to us.

A lot of words are twisted up on the Race. I read that book "My Ox is Broken" that book about The Amazing Race and even after reading through it more than once, I love it and it is still one of my favorite shows...
my one regret is that my momma and I will never be part of the AWESOME Amazing Race family...
Anyway, it's interesting to see the DRAMA in every season....
The only thing I dislike is those teams who quit for reasons other than medical....
No offense, but I am speaking of Flight Time/Big Easy and Maria/Tiffany (Marshall and Lance had a MEDICAL reason)
I'd rather DIE than quit, so every time I look back on those episodes, I grieve like somebody died....
Paron:
Maria & Tiffany weren't going to get that Detour done no matter how hard they tried, a sign as to how badly-planned that leg was.
Flight Time & Big Easy, though, definitely have no excuse.
