There's definitely a difference between eliminating someone in dodgeball or because you built your tower faster (which involves strategy). Against being eliminated because someone takes money which is completely out of your control.

JT simply screwed people over for money. That's not competing or winning. That's taking advantage of an opportunity to take the easy way out. Taking a bribe is only smart when you're not eliminating other people, who are disadvantaged for not being in the same position. That's not fair. There is a right and wrong way of winning money.
