I admire Rob and Amber for not grousing on and on about how Uchenna and Joyce were given a most unfair break in being allowed to board that airplane after the gate had already closed. In this day of post 9-11, I find it most odd that that event was allowed to occur.

I enjoyed Rob and Amber this season. But you are misunderstanding the events of their prior season. 1) Rob and Amber were given an "unfair break" earlier in the race themselves when plane came back for them. 2) Uchenna, Phil, et al have explained how poorly that scene was edited. Uchenna and Joyce found out that the ticket agent lied to them about the flight (after Rob asked her to). They raised a fuss about being lied to (wouldn't you?) and the gate agent, faced with a very upset Uchenna and several cameras called the plane back. I'd hardly call that unfair.

That't not how I recall the events of that season, so I will have to take your word.

What was the lie that Rob had the ticket agent tell Uchenna and Joyce? My recollection is that they arrived at the gate after it had already been closed, is that incorrect?
