I read on an TAR forum that the contestants are not permitted to do anything illegal. If the cabbie had said 'no, never mind, forget the $25', then they would have been okay with running in, but if U&J had stiffed the cabbie, they would have been disqualified.Originally Posted by Loveysmummy
Though I wonder why they begged for cab money at the end instead of just running in and telling them to wait until they got their million!
I think the difference is that those other teams offered to pay their drivers, just less than what they cabbie wanted.So many people would have just taken off I think..as I have seen in other races where the people have ripped the cabbies off
I'm happy for Uchenna & Joyce. They seem like really nice people.
