Posted this in another thread too, but... Just to clarify this, it is DEFINITELY an official rule that you may not use any items you have brought with you to settle a bill. It is covered in detail before the race begins. It's the same as not being allowed to bring cash, or a credit card. What's the point of giving money to racers at the beginning of each leg if one team packs a load of something expensive they sell off in their first country and then are flush with cash for the remainder of the race. I don't know if this was a rule from season 1, but it definitely is now. Last season, Dan and Andrew bought shoes WITH RACE MONEY, so it was ok for them to use them to barter when their cash ran short. Had it been their original shoes, it would have been a no-go from production.

Mark & Mike were penalty haters.

I have to agree with FormerRacer13.

As much as I hate Mark and Mike, I've gotta admit that TWO HOURS is a bit extreme. Not as extreme as a 24 hour penalty for skipping the Detour, but still
pretty crazy.

I seem to remember a scene where Meredith and Gretchen gave some personal stuff to a taxi driver to help pay their fare. It might have been on the DVD as a
bonus scene.

Seriously - I haven't read all the responses but that is bullshit. The sisters just begged for free shit, at least the brothers reimbursed for the
services that went unpaid. BULLSHIT!

That was weak how they actually cared to pay for fares, and the sisters did not pay for one ride and got away with that. Phil sucked this episode and he
stared at the midgets as if he hated them too, what is up with that.

I think the rules state that the teams have to make sure the taxi driver is satisfied with their compensation. Jen & Kisha did ask if they could go for
free and the drivers agreed. I doubt he would've taken them otherwise. They were upfront about it.
The rule was probably instituted after Colin's trip to the police station. |

I doubt there's any rule saying how long you have to wait for the taxi to show up in a situation like that though, so they probably took off as fast as they could. |
