I am actually rooting for Christina and her teammate to get eliminated
because shouting out "Don't let the foreigners on the bus!" smacks of
racism. It's one thing to say "We're in a race! Don't stop!" It's
not so much what they did but the way they convinced the driver that
got to me.

I really thought Ryan and Charlie were going to get eliminated. When
the money on the ground was highlighted I knew something was up. I'm
surprised that they didn't go back and look on the ground. The
fiancees must have taken pity on them because the bus driver probably
didn't charge them while Ryan and Charlie already had to pay for two
taxis and had traveled far. The fiancees probably figured that Ryan
and Charlie had just ran out of money and it wasn't their fault.

I don't believe it was actual racism. Rather, it was hoping that the
bus driver would have enough racism to act on it.

One has to wonder why the driver got angry. It was a race. There was
a prize involved. And he had just given the advantage to two local
teams and he was supposedly angry because the foreignors thought it
was unfair and wanted to also get on the bus with them.

Somehow, using another's prejudices to your own advantage seems even worse.
