Bilal & Saeed or Eric & Lisa: Unfair Elimination

<< < (2/5) > >>

Reilly Queens:
I would say Eric & Lisa were eliminated unfairly

Bilal & Saeed had 1 or 2 tasks that led to their elimination so they had a chance to prove themselves.

Eric & Lisa got screwed by the first task to HUGE EGO Lance.  :cmas31:

Zvarri:
Eric and Lisa were ROBBED.

Dånooky:
I think Bilal & Sa'eed got it worst because it was a surprise elimination without any warning. Though, Eric & Lisa's case is sadder.

WalterC:
I would go with Eric & Lisa, because having to go through all that process of casting and getting on the race, and then get eliminated like that. They probably got excited to be on the race, only to not even get to leave the US.

And then having the first leg being non-elimination, that was insult-to-injury.

Who knew how far they would have gotten.

ovalorange:
I think Bilal and Sa'eed had it worst off. There have been many times when strong teams are at the back of the pack/last place but manage to save themselves and get ahead by the time they reach the pitstop. Bilal and Sa'eed could have just been having bad luck or got wrong directions, something that could have been completely out of their hands. They could have easily done well in the rest of the leg and made up some ground, but they were just booted without warning.

Eric and Lisa did have a chance to save themselves. They knew going into the challenge someone would be eliminated and didn't read the clue thoroughly (even when Phil told them all the information they needed was in the clue). That to me was a mistake on their part and they paid for it dearly. While I think both eliminations absolutely sucked, Eric and Lisa had more warning and influence on their elimination.
