I think Alex & Chris's attempt to hold people up was much dirtier than B&P getting on w/ luggage. B&P did not prevent anyone from anything by bringing on their luggage. The other teams could have tried this too. On the other (dirty) hand, A&C did hold everyone up. (funny how they showed no other passengers on this flight. I wonder if there were any others.) Tara was guilty too. (Strange that Wil didn't seem to be a part of it).
BTW both Wil's and Tara's hair looked terrible. No wonder they use those awful hats.

I never took B&P saying "no" to the airline check-in person as a lie. I felt the real question she was asking was did they have any luggage they wanted to check. They said no. I think B&P were concerned that the luggage might be too big and the gate person might make them check it but they were willing to take that chance and it paid off for them. That is until the laying in the aisle thing. I could not believe that was happening. Oh well, guess it's just part of the game.

I also wanted to point out that B&P took the stunt from A&C very calmly. I bet if it were reversed, that A&C and T&W woulda pitched a huge fit.

Anyone know if there were other passengers on that flight?

I agree, Blake & Paige handled the whole thing alot better than I would have. I like C&A but was disappointed in them for what they did, although I don't think Will and Tara were innocent, it seemed Tara was in the planning and her and Will were the ones watching for the luggage.

Julieboo - I totally agree with you. A&C and T&W would have blew a gasket if B&P would have done that to them. I don't remember seeing anyone else on the plane but I didn't tape it so I can't go back and look.

I think all's fair re the plane deal on both sides but I give Blake and Paige credit for not whining about the others the way Chris and Alex especially whined about them.

I don't think it was fun.

Blake and Paige did NOTHING TO the others they just took a chance that they could carry on their packs and it worked.

The others did something TO Blake and Paige.

Not fun. Petty. Mean.

And sure they got the FF but without this harrassment they might have been able to get it later when it would be more helpful. Their choice but I think they just needed to get away from T/W and C/A.

Hi five Seamonkey. As usual, I totally agree with you!

One might say "all is fair", but the difference between B/P and A/C & W/T is that what B/P did had no affect on the others. ACTW's actions did affects others. And if they hadn't done it, maybe B/P coulda/woulda saved the FF. And you know they woulda whined and bitched about it big time.

Well, I believe in Karma. And as Syrius from RW Boston said, "Karma is a b*itch and she'll bite you in the ass everytime."

If B&P lied to get their bags on the plane, then it was Karma that gave the others the idea to block their exit. They lost some time, but not much.

But at the same time, it was a bit petty for the other teams to do that. I was pissed at the Guidos for blocking the others in the first season and thought it was unfair. This is similiar, though not exactly the same.

So, I believe Karma will be paying a little visit to Alex/Chris and Will/Tara very soon.

One can only hope.. GO Kharmaaaaaa!!!

I think it (C/A & T) was the same as the Guidos. Worse, in fact. B/P did nothing to stop or slow down the other contestants. The others could have said "no" to the luggage too. Like Imbewitched said, they could have been saying no, they don't want to check the luggage.

Let's hope that Karma does bite both A/C and T/W in the a$$.

When I say that what C/A & T/W wasn't as bad as the Guidos, I mean that they were delaying P/B by 15 minutes or so, to even everyone up.

The Guidos were trying to get everyone to miss their planes which would have resulted in people being delayed by hours or even a day (I can't remember) and the Guidos would have been on another plane before the rest of them.

There were huge time differences in the first TAR compared to this one.

I wasn't comparing B/P to C/A & T/W.

Also, B/P must have thrown out a lot of their belongings to make their bags small enough to get it on the plane. Didn't they used to have huge backpacks?

I think Frank & Margerita did the same exact thing last season too. They said all that stuff was slowing them down.

Whether it's B&P sneaking their luggage on, or the rest of the teams not allowing B&P off the plane, everyone's playing to win. It's a game, you gotta do whatever you have to do to get the advantage. There's a reason why they invented the phrase "nice guys finish last."

Except for Danny and Oswald of course. ;-)

Go Blake & Paige!!! I think they had a lot of class when those other jerks lied and cut in front of B&P. Now I guess everything is fair in love & war & TAR, but I got very irritated with C&A and W&T when they lied and got in front. Didn't matter though. My point is that they woulda freaked if B&P did the same to them. That's 2 times now. And both times B&P took it in stride.

I like Blake and Paige, Julie. I voted for them to come in first now that my adorable team CCC is gone. Just as importantly, I really don't like their competition so that makes Blake and Paige look even better. :)

Go Blake and Paige!!!
I have to hand it to you Julie, you stuck by them this whole time and never gave up. I hope they win.

I agree Juileboo. They have a lot of class - you sure wouldn't know by actions that they are younger than the other teams would ya??

Welll.. since I lost Danny and Oswald, I think Blake and Paige will be my "team" when The Amaziiing Game re-oopens.. I pray that they win because Chris and Alex are terminally boring and sorta mean, and Weasel and Terror are just horrid.

Yeah, I guess B&P will gain more fans mostly due to process of elimination. Hope they make it! Hi five Webkitty, Al-gal, Seamonkey & Tess!

I'm with all of you too! I've liked them from the start. Please, please let them win.
