I agree and as long as it's a consistent penalty, I'm okay with it.

ITA!!!

I predict the Globetrotters will apologize (because I think it was an innocent mistake), Christina will forgive them (especially with the penalty), and Ron will rant about it for at least half of the episode.

Besides all the above, we have the obvious: What in the world would Ron have to beotch about if THAT hadn't happened on this particular episode? He totally sucked at the jousting competition-it was everyone else's fault that he couldn't do the routine AND get on the horse AND hit the danged target in one easy swipe!! Geez! What is he a genius or something? We all know how stupid those challenges are, right?

As far as the cleansing challenge went-he must have felt so amazing once he was finished, only to see that someone went and sabotaged his entire place in the race! How dare they! Of course FT&BE would pick HIM to sabotage-he is a fierce competitor who is more than a threat to them, so they had to do SOMETHING to make him, what, 10 minutes late? Beside, he had just found his Karma, and darn it, if someone didn't go and purposely take it away!! The entire group of races, including Phil have been against him since the beginning. Only this time, he managed to rile his poor daughter, too, because she knew the consequences in not finding that bag, and ultimately being last. The wrath of Daddy, well, it's worse than any challenge that Big Phil could ever give them. And it last forevvvvvver.

Did I mention he makes me sick?

I also have to interject in here that I was amazed how many teams came in within that 30 minute penalty time. I was beginning to wonder if FT&BE were going to be eliminated after all!! Sadly, it was the other, nicer, sweeter man, with the heart of gold and the philosophy of treating everyone equally, who had to leave. Because his son appreciate him THAT much!

I think the Globetrotters didn't intend to screw things up for Ron & Christina, but they should've thought of putting the fanny pack where they left it instead of with Ron's stuff, or just returned it to Ron & Christina at the lake with an apology. Then the Globetrotters wouldn't have had the penalty.

I don't think they would have escaped the penalty by putting it back. regardless, they DID cause another team to be slowed, so got the penalty.

Don & Mary Jean mistakenly took Adam & Rebecca's car in TAR 6, but returned it, however still got 30 minutes for impeding another team.

Yes, but Don and Mary Jane got a bigger penalty then the Trotters did here, because they turned around and took the car back.

A long time ago team Heave took a taxi to the pitstop instead of travelling by foot, I seem to remember that their penalty was 30 minutes plus the time they had made up using the taxi.

In this case I would have liked to have seen something like a 40 minute penalty, 30 minutes for interference and 10 for the amount of time that Christina wasted looking for her bum bag
