Ep 6 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary *start: 830PM or later* note rules

Luckily, I only hate 1 team (twins), but I like the rest :hearts:
starrynight:
Also it resulted in race begging, which isn't something I like to see at all. And in a poor country it's even more unwanted I suppose.
I guess the producers were perfectly fine with it all as the cameras obviously saw it all.

Does look like no penalty, unfortunately, but it is possible.

Can't the camera crews phone the pit stop?

In Season 11 Leg 2, teams were made to stand out in the hot sun as they reviewed the tapes to see if any teams were speeding after Kevin & Drew complained.
I don't think they review the tapes until after the entire race is over and James & Abba didn't seem to complain either.

When TPTB learn of a possible rule infraction depends on where it happens. If it happens in the vicinity of a task or cluebox, then there are local producers on hand who can relay the information -- hence, we've seen this season when a team was instruction to go back and take the correct form of transportation to the pit stop.
However, usually (from what I've seen over the years) there won't be a local or traveling producer at a travel agency used by the teams to book travel. Then, TPTB have to look at the video at the pit stop either because a team complained, or because the camera crew reports something to production once they also reach the pit stop. That is when a penalty might have to be assessed on the departure time for the next leg. Even then, we might not hear about it unless it affects the order of departure for the following leg. (Departures last night were pretty well spaced, so a penalty wouldn't have been obvious from the time stamps.)
There has to be a reason why the bit with the money was shown. Whether that reason involves the sisters, or the Rockers, or both we'll have to wait and see. But normally, with the editing on TAR, things get included for a reason, even when it is not immediately apparent.
Jobby:
The sisters will not be penalized because #1, James and Abba misplaced the money.
And that is enough for the TAR Producers to not give a penalty. You are supposed to take care of your own money. It's not like they purposely unzip their race pouch and take the money.
BUT, that doesn't give twinnies or Trexie the right to take the money. It's just disgusting.
The only GREAT thing I liked about this whole incident was we get to see amazing Bangladeshi and people who took great care of the Rockers and helped them when they were in need. Made me learnt a lesson that one can never be too poor to be of help to others. Even mental support will be great. Thank you Bangladeshi FERNS <3! That was really a heartwarming moment and made me momentarily erase my "hate" and "disagreement" with the Twins.
apskip:
The problem I see is in the CBS editing of this incident to categorize it as "stealing another team's money." Neither the Sri Lankans nor Lexi did that. They merely took advantage by claiming money laying on the floor, which is quite different.
