They have certainly tempted karma...was hoping their difficulty finding a cab after the opera house would drop them down significantly. Ah well, maybe next week.
So tired of Erica's attitude. I wish Phil had said "this was supposed to be a non-elim, but since you half-assed the last task, we changed our minds".
And, as much as the brothers bother me, it is a race. It is not cheating to take someone else's cab. Erica and Brian acting like they had done something outside the rules is silly. Being upset that you didn't finish the task in time to hold onto your cab, sure. Being upset that another team took advantage of an opportunity put in front of them, sure. But it isn't cheating.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think it is cheating per se, but I think it is bad racing. Beauty Queen and her husband paid for the cab to sit there and the brothers came in and paid the cab more to leave. I think at the very least the brothers owe them some $$. They had a reasonable expectation that the cab would be there after they finished the task.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, it was bad sportsmanship for sure.
Is there any way Meghan and Cheyne don't win? They're clearly the best racers, and good all-around. I mean, given how much bunching goes on, they've been first really consistently.

Tacky, bad karma, bad sportsmanship, absolutely. But not cheating.

Suzi, did someone here assert they cheated?

I didn't TIVO, so I can't rewatch, but I recall Brian or Erica saying something to that effect.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Definitely poor form for the brothers, but not cheating. I have confidence that their bickering and tendency to Bald Snark on tasks will do them in. And honestly, I can't work up a lot of outrage over what happened because Erica is such a nightmare. I truly think Brian is bucking for sainthood.
In my ideal world, the Globetrotters would win, but they really suck at non-physical tasks. I just can't see it. It seems to be the anonymous blondes to lose.

Because books.
Was I hallucinating or was Paula Abdul supposed to be on SYTYCD this season as a judge? Or am I thinking of Ellen on Idol?

Nigel wanted her, but apparently she isn't enthused about the possibility.
Given that SYTYCD has like 2 more episodes, I don't think it is happening.
