Ep 6 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary *start: 830PM or later* note rules
starrynight:
Except they had a good idea whose it was supposedly. And just because someone leaves it in a place doesn't mean you can just take it, it still belongs to them and is integral to their ability to compete. The way it was shown was that they hadn't even left it long either and the racers knew that it would adversely affect them and could get them eliminated. I assume that the producers actually encouraged it and used it as a point of controversy. Apparently they even advertised this episode as one in which a team steals from another for the first time? That's what I read somewhere.
So if someone leaves a passport what should a racer do? If they have inadvertantly placed it somewhere (where they could of course re-find it, as they would retrace their steps) can someone take it and throw it away somewhere where they would never find it and so be eliminated?
Begging is always wrong on the show, never makes me feel good at all.
AmazingRace:
Actually I was appalled when they took it while James & Abba were still in the room.
Let's say James & Abba left their fanny pack on the floor intentionally in the corner of a room and went to talk to a travel agent. Does that give Natalie & Nadiya a right to take their fanny pack, since it's left unattended?
For all THEY know, James & Abba could have left that money there on purpose, whilst they do other things.

Concluding with this opinion, I totally agree with you. I remember when the Globetrotters took Christina's fanny pack in Japan by mistake and didn't realize it until later the Pit Stop check-in. The Globetrotters were given the penalty and were told during that rest period. The twins should have been given lesser to no money at the next leg as fair "karma", but I somehow feel it should be that same penalty from Unfinished Business, however a part of my brain is telling me they shouldn't receive it because it technically wasn't in their possession at that time like a dropped piece of litter just lying on the ground. I, I just am confused... :duno:
(I really don't like how they referred to teams as "stupid" AKA "stupid Chippendales" in episode 3 and "stupid rockers" in this episode while racing to that clue box smack dab on the sidewalk. It makes me :res:)
RachelLeVega:
Since this is a Reality TV forum site, we should send this scenario to the "What Would You Do" producers (has anyone here watched that show and/or seen videos about it?) and see if that idea gets aired on TV! :tup:

So pretty much, it's not against the rules, and the only thing it goes against is ethics, much like cutting in line.
