"Yo teams, IT-IS-A-RACE!"

Why, oh why are the teams in the Amazing race 5 so wimpy and nice? Except for colin and christie who are mean but winning.
Examples:1. Kami and Karli - in last place and stop to give Colin and Christie a hand. Colin just demanded the tire and they said yes. Why not keep driving or if you want to help them, let them call for another taxi? What happens when your tyre goes flat? For a team in last place it was a bad move. C+ C were stuck if they had not stopped.
2. Chip, I love ya man but tipping a driver $20 was just stupid. Karma? Win the race and then talk about Karma. Lucky the dubai taxi driver was a nice guy.
3. Twins - lets follow brandon and nicole even after seeing a yellow and red flag? Too dumb to keep going.Oh, and no, you do not need to slow down. (position?)
I hope teams will now just play the game and keep to their own.

Walking into that hotel and calmly riding to the top to get the clue. It was one big happy party.On the CBS Insider video, we find out that before the hotel roof opened, the teams drew straws to determine the clue pulling order at the top of the hotel.

"Colin just demanded the tire and they said yes"He was a bit intimidating, to say the least. It got him what he wanted, which is a shame. He and Christie, one of the better teams, might have been SOL.
I would have blown him a kiss and told the driver, "Home, James."
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I've gotta agree. I'm generally a very nice person, but this isn't a game where being nice to the other teams gets you very far. They should channel all their niceness towards each other (yeah, Colin, I'm talking to you) and towards the locals (yeah, Colin, I'm still talking to you) who can either hurt or help you immeasurably. The idea of sharing information and calmly taking turns with other teams is crazy. Don't get physically violent, but this is a game with one winning team and one $1 million pot.
