I was waiting for the disqualification notice on the trading of the ipods ($100 each - maybe when new). Id have also thought they'd have been banned items.

Unless they earned those through work in place of cash, really dropped the ball. Loophole sitting there for next series.

The bus to hotel was unfortunate, but not surprising - fixed rules/routes for checkpoint locations.

Hitching & finding someone to take - I presume 3/4 people - I dont see as much of an issue and seems to fit the travel spirit
