The BQs asked the man if they could get in the cab in front of him, if I remember right. And he let them. Despite the rest of the queue. I love that word.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but Raen's usually spot on with her spoiling. And it seems as if Dustin/Kandice and Tyler/James got a cab. Rob and Kim ASKED if they could cut in front, and were allowed to. Lyn/Karlyn and the Chos were told to go to the end of the line. So if that is, in fact, what happened, then Lyn and Karlyn are just plain rude and there is no way you can put a good spin on that. I still think those two have a chip on their shoulders the size of Alabama. And I truly hope they realize that it's not the editing. Their constant scowling and negativity are not imagined. If they didn't do that there would be no way the camera would catch it. I really hope Dustin and Kandice win. I think these two are playing smart, and they really do seem to be enjoying the ride. So yeah, it's easier when you are at the front of the pack. But they've earned it. So what if they are beauty queens. As mentioned above, they have a friendly appearance and seem really appreciative when they get help.

so what you're saying, Costa, is that the minorities were not allowed to cut, were told that THEY had to go to the end of the line, but the caucasians were ... okay ...

Lady, that is what happened. Whether it was racial or all those people standing in line just got tired of letting people cut and probably wondering how many more there were, I don't know. What bothered me more than the Lynns cutting in line after being told no was that they basically shoved the man aside to get into the cab.

I'm going to rewatch the show and find the exact quote, but until I do, do any of you remember the BQs making some comment about the models that alluded to them getting ahead because they are good looking and models??? When I find the quote I'll be back to post it. I just thought it was like the pot calling the kettle black.

The BQs have said the same thing about themselves and laughed about it in an earlier episode.

The only people that were allowed to cut the line were Rob & Kimberley, who asked and were allowed to cut in by one man who was getting into a cab. Tyler & James and Dustin & Kandice were able to get cabs that were out front so they didn't even have to go to the taxi stand. There was no line-up for them. Lyn & Karlyn told people they had to go ahead because they were in a race and then appeared to force their way in front. The Cho's asked and when people didn't want to give up their spot in line they waited. There is no way to actually know if race was a factor. It would be purely speculation. We might have a better idea if all of the non-minority teams had been allowed to cut in but that didn't happen. It was one man letting one team go in front of him. I don't think that the Cho's or L/K were there at the time. They showed up a little later.

Jimmer is correct. Tyler/James and D/K did not have to go to a taxi stand to catch a cab - so they didn't cut in front of anyone. I will give R/K credit for having the courtesy to ask if they could cut. The Lyns (did I mention how rude they are?) were told by the person in line that they had to get to the back of the queue - that they couldn't cut in front of him and they pretty much forced their way into the man's cab.

I didn't see Jimmer's last paragraph - he is also correct that T/J, D/K and R/K had already left before the Chos and the Lyns had arrived at the taxi stand.

Jimmer, thanks for clearing that up. So, in thinking about it, do we even know if the same people were still in line when he Chos and Lynns showed up? It's strange how the mind works. I sure am getting a lot of File Locking Errors today.

I did Scooterrific <whistling innocently>. I was wondering about that as well NT. The guy who let R/K go in front of him had definitely left. It's not like there were a bunch of people in line who told R/K they could go ahead and at the same time told the others that they couldn't.

The BQs have cut in front of other people before, twice that I can remember. They barged in front of other racers, and the fact they were doing it to fellow racers doesn't make it ok in my mind. Its bad behavior regardless of who does it or why....

I was thinking it was a different group of people in the taxi line. This got me thinking though. Are American minorities considered minorities when in other countries? I kind of figured they just considered us all americans.

I would've cut in line too. But I would've flashed my famous smile and it would've been ok.

Auntiemike, I don't know what quote you are talking about but I did hear the BQ's call the models "Queen Bees".

That would have worked for sure Mocha!!! The two times I can remember the BQs sort of going in front of other teams were when one team walked completely past a ticket window and the BQs walked up to it. The other time was when L/K were standing on the dock talking and the BQs hopped on the boat. I don't consider either of those to be cutting a line, but as we've discussed some people view it differently.

Biloxi, that is a good question. Years ago I worked with a black girl from the Virgin Islands. She really had a hard time understanding the racial divides in this country until she watched, of all things, the miniseries "North and South."

Jimmer, I remember the boat incident as L/K were trying to board the boat from the side (and were being slow about it) when the BQs ran up and jumped in from the front.

L/K weren't even trying to get on the boat though. They were standing around on the dock talking about it for some reason. I thought it was pretty funny when the BQs showed up and jumped on right away.

The Lyns have told the other 6 packers on numerous occasions, one of them in this episode, to go on without them and not wait. Each time that the Chos or David/Mary waited for them it was their choice to wait. The Lyns never expected or demanded for them to wait and they told them in one episode point blank that they didn't want them to wait for them and lose because they wouldn't do that for them. David and Mary and the Chos have been downright crazy with their waiting for the other team strategies. I think the Lyns have tried to be helpful to their friends without doing crazy things that might make them lose the race and I can't get upset with them if the Chos get their feelings hurt next week because the Lyns aren't acting as crazy as them. Having said that, I'm rooting for Kim and Rob now. I don't know why but they have just grown on me. Their exchanges back and forth make me chuckle every week and I'm hoping they can hang in there to the end.

Oh also, I cringed again this week when the BQs called the Lyns the 'sistahs' They just put too much emphasis on it and it sounds ugly to me.
