THE AMAZING RACE ETHICS THREAD

couchracer:
Nicole chasing Leo was funny, I do not see it as cheating. Nicole begging Amy to help was ok, but perhaps not wise on Amy's part to help. 

G.B.:
dryedmangoez, I do not believe there were any provided examples. That's what made the task so difficult. The teams were only surrounded by laughing children.

Polaroid:
I don't think Amy helping Nicole is the issue, but instead it's Nicole trying to copy Leo's assembled angklung. I don't like what she did but I guess if you're that desperate, you'll do anything.

I'm a little unclear on the rules here, I know teams have given each other advice or answers for tasks before but this seemed to me to be the next level. Did it seal the fate of the Ice Queens? definitely. Would they have survived if it hadnt happened? We'll never know.

In my opinion if Nicole cannot complete the roadblock successfully and her team arrives last they should be eliminated rather than:
If Nicole cannot complete the roadblock successfully she can get Amy to essentially do it for her and her team can survive while a team that completed the task independently is eliminated.

What are your thoughts?

30-minutes, and a Show content30-min penalty for not arriving in a taxi. Bye Bye ER docs.

Sometimes, race alliance is part and parcel of the race. Flo in TAR 3 told Ken and Gerard where to find the cluebox in Vietnam, inevitably sealing the wonder twins fate. (even though K/G were not even that close to them)

In TAR 7, Susan and Patrick and Debbie and Bianca ate the meat at the Roadblock and 4 other teams quit, but because the girls were so lost on the drive there.. it sent them packing as well.

I guess there's nothing wrong with Amy helping Nicole. The problem here is even after Amy helped Nicole, Nicole begged her to complete the task for her. Nothing wrong with that as well.. but when audience and viewers are watching it, we get enraged because that was after all the ethics and great righteous people and wonderful parents talk that they engaged in.. only to try to peep and cheat, plus beg for people's help and went on a desperate mode on another team to do the entire task for them. :res:
