"Interference penalty?" |
Here's a good question that was brought up over on Bashers - I thought I'd bring this here to discuss over the next few days before the next episode.As samboohoo said: Interference Certainly not taking up for Mark/Mike, but they were penalized for interfering with other racers for putting the pumps in the boxes. If I recall, didn't the clue state something about using a pump? So the teams should have known to look for one? Last night we saw Tammy and Victor (1)direct someone else's cab driver to take them to a wrong entrance and (2) ask airline crew to deliberately seat someone in the back of a plane. How is that really different from Mark and Mike interferring? And they clearly had a language advantage. I replied that it was a good question, and reminded that this is a superleg, so maybe there will be a penalty when the teams get to the actual pit-stop. Question to you spoilers: Do you think it'd be possible that there will be a penalty given out to Tammy/Victor for interference? Actually, we haven't even seen Tammy/Victor get to the next clue marker from Phil in person -- we only saw Cara/Jaime. Would Phil give them a penalty at that point or wait until the actual pit-stop? So, will it be... (a) no penalty given to Tammy/Victor
(b) penalty given at the clue marker from Phil at the start of next week's continuation
(c) penalty given at the actual pit stop at the end of next week's continuation

I think the difference is that with Tammy/Victor, they just made a request and it was completely up to the cab drivers or airline workers whether or not they complied with that request, whereas Mark/Michael DIRECTLY interfered with race materials.The ticket agent could have agreed to do what Tammy/Victor asked (which appears to be what happened), ignored them and done nothing, or moved the other teams up as far as possible just to spite Tammy and Victor. Cara/Jaime getting seated in the back of the plane could very well be a coincidence. Either way, it is ultimately the decision of the airline worker whether or not to "interfere." I believe Charla/Mirna accomplished something similar at an airport in China on All-Stars, so while Tammy/Victor's Mandarin has helped them to some extent, I think all of the teams had a chance to charm the ticket agents and get the best seats possible. Same deal with the cab drivers-- I think in almost all cases a driver would be focused on getting his fare-paying passengers where they want to go and would not follow the directions of an extraneous party just for kicks. It is up to each team to direct (or re-direct) their own cab drivers...

I doubt T/V will get a penalty. In the past we have had teams sending cabs away and asking people not to tell the other racers where to find something. I think that is all considered part of the race. But M/M actually hid part of the stuff at a challenge that was suppose to be available to all. It would be the same as hiding the keys from one of the rental cars. Or hiding the clue box behind a tree. You don't mess with the game pieces.

Jen and Kisha also asked for seats at the front of the plane so language had nothing to do with that.

Remember when our old buddy Romber had the other teams pay the bus driver to not open the back door on the bus? Even though it was less than a minute or two delay, there was no penalty there, so I don't think T&V will get a penalty either.
