I thought what Rob did was fine (underhanded, but this is a contest) until he bribed the bus driver not to open the back doors. That was a stupid move. He had just pissed everyone off about the bus thing, and by bribing the bus driver (and pissing other racers off even more) he and the other 3 teams could get -- what -- a 1 minute lead? One minute is irrelevant at that stage of the Race. Just ask Cheryl, who was one of the first off the bus and one of the last to finish shining shoes.
Sly is fine, but a racer should be sly carefully and calculatedly, not just 'cause.
Sidenote: Wondering if anyone else has read Phil's new book:
No Opportunity Wasted: Creating a List for Life? My sister- and brother-in-law gave it to me for my birthday, and I'm actually enjoying it. Reading it, you get a real sense for how and why the task on TAR race -- including the gross food ones -- are chosen.
