I agree. They didn't complain, they didn't accuse anyone else of cheating or screwing them over. They knew they blew it and that was that. They may be cocky and a little arrogant, but as far as I'm concerned, they've earned it. They've shown time and time again that they know how to succeed at these games. They didn't fair so well this time, but, counting the 3 seasons of Survivor between the two of them and now 2 seasons of Amazing Race, they were competitive in 4 out of 5 of their opportunities. That's hard to argue with. Heck, you can't even really call this time around a poor showing seeing as they were in first for the first 3 legs.

For those that watch the show regularly, is there usually this much bitching about other people taking advantage of opportunities? I mean, these teams have all played before and they seem completely shocked that someone might, gasp, use information they overhear to their advantage. Or even, dear lord, lie to other teams to get ahead. Call me naive, but that's really starting to turn me off of the show more than anything.
