I missed a few seasons in the middle after losing interest with the moronic 4 person team season, but it seems that the teams were especially dumb this season.
I constantly am amazed that teams fail to read clues or make basic mistakes all in order to save 1 or 2 minutes.
Don't these dopes watch previous shows and realise that rarely does 5 minutes matter and more often teams lose because they fail to read the clue properly.
I always laugh when people moan about being in the last cab out of the airport. Has a team ever lost because they got in a cab 2 minutes after the other teams? No.
Have they lost because they jumped in a cab right away when they were supposed to walk? Yes.

I can't think of an instance where they were overtly rude to anybody beyond the divorced chicks (who were bitchy to everybody). I'm not saying Nick and Star haven't done anything rude, I just can't think of anything at the moment.
Anytime they've back-stabbed somebody I believe it was purely to gain an advantage. I think anytime they've screwed somebody over it was generally for the good of the team.
The one thing that comes to mind was the stone that Nick smuggled out of that temple past the cheated-on wife. They are in an alliance, but in his position I'd do the exact same thing. Nobody in the alliance would know what you did. Perhaps I'm just morally bankrupt.
I think it's easy to overlook the amount of pressure the teams are under when they read the clues. There are wayyy too many mistakes for it to be anything else in my mind. The thing that gets me is that when something starts going wrong for a team in a challenge nobody says "perhaps we should re-read the clue". 9 times out of 10 the problem is fixed as soon as they do.
