be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

6. "RE: F*CK You Amazing race and F*ck ..."
I actually like Uchenna and Joyce as people. However, there is much evidence that they were helped by CBS affiliates at the airport, so that they could board the plane. Several FAA (et al) laws were broke doing so. CBS wanted the race to be closer than it would have been, if they had not helped Uchenna and Joyce. Also, it has been known for some time that they would not let Rob & Amber win due to ratings.
There is more to be said about how Uchenna and Joyce played the game, but the ending was the most glaring wrong-doing. There were reports from the Puerto Rico airport that Uchenna said that it was 'racism' that Rob & Amber were allowed to get on the plane but not them.
By the way, Uchenna's acting at the end when paying the cab driver was very poor. CBS asked him to stay and raise the money, because they were far ahead and would win. They were asked to do so, to provide them with tape to make the race look closer.
Rob & Amber would have been an hour and a half ahead...and would have won the race if CBS didn't repeated help Uchenna and Joyce. I do not like Rob & Amber, so it wouldn't have made any difference to me. I actually like Uchenna and Joyce better, but I do not like what I learned from my friends down in PR.
CBS has to make a show though, and we should not misunderstand that they are going to manipulate it in any way they see fit for ratings and popularity. However, this was painfully obvious and makes them look very foolish.
