Yeah, but they were totally obnoxious with him from the get-go. They are just so snotty and bitchy.

See I haven't gotten that from them at all. I was just saying last night that they are normally the type of team that I wouldn't like, but that they didn't seem the typical cheerleaders type. Of course, it's their love of Luke and his Mom that really helps in that regard.

Also, as Kathy said, if I was on a race and couldn't find my taxi driver who had all my stuff, I would freak out too.

And, we've certainly seen a lot worse behavior in India than I saw from anyone last night.

I don't know, maybe it's a YMMV issue, but they've been rubbing me the wrong way for the past couple weeks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Freaking out when they thought he was gone with their stuff, I can understand, but then they should have stopped yelling at the driver, once they found each other.

I wonder if I missed the really bad part, because I would have been pretty pissed off if my cab driver had wandered off with my luggage! Their reaction didn't strike me as over the top.

No, I was annoyed with them way before that happened.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, my mileage is with Nora's. I think I was already annoyed at them, so I feel like their reaction this episode just exacerbated that feeling.

I think I started to dislike them with the attempted misdirect for the confusing stuntmen airline call from taxi to taxi. Although if they wanted to do that and had been savvier, they really could have messed with them; told them they had to go to a different location or to ask for something else. But it just dropped in their laps, so they didn't have time to dream up anything truly nefarious.

Am I the only one who does not like Luke?

I think Luke's kind of a dick sometimes.

Why don't you like him, msbelle? I'm just curious cause I think he and his mom have played very well so far.

I think they have played well. I think he is a bit drama filled and really not so nice.

I think he is a bit drama filled and really not so nice.

There's definitely that part of him. But mostly I like him okay, and they've been racing well which makes up for a lot.
