It was the best bro
these two showed what respect brothers should have for each other bro.
they got frustrated with each other but never argued the whole show bro.
You guys can think oh they shouldnt have cut in line. BooHOOO bro
A million dollars who cares about class bro.
Million dollars is on the line bro.
If I was going to win a million dollars I sure as heck wouldnt be taking a nap
in airport. Its there fault for napping, one should have stayed awake bro.
The old saying is true bro.
You snooze you loose. but that isnt even what cause them to win the race
it was Dan who for a million dollars out smart out out wit the opponents
by asking to be moved to first class.
the cowboys should knew the long flight from China to San Francisco is time to nap bro

The cowboys were laying on the floor with plenty of room for the brothers--or any other traveller--to cut in. They could have ended up on an entirely different flight if other travelers had taken their seats because of their laid back attitude. They didn't have their game on then and they paid for it.

I suppose since I wasn't cheering for any particular team, I just can't see it the way others do.
When you're in line at the store, do you think it's classy when someone cuts in front of you? Do you think it's classy when you're in line for the bathroom at a sporting event and someone cuts in front of you?

In the United States we form lines for services. Someone who cuts in front of others isn't just "competing" for those services, they're telling everyone they cut in front of that they are more important, better, superior, etc. Which is why when someone cuts in line, people are so outraged.

The brothers gained no advantage from cutting in line. Their advantage came from moving up to first-class on the plane. The cutting in line only demonstrated their lack of integrity, their willingness to be rude and to essentially cheat.

The cowboys action at the Star Wars challenge was competition. During baseball games and other sporting venues, people use noise to distract their competitors. And that's a legitimate strategy.

The bros placed a value on their integrity. That doesn't deserve approbration.

Unless they each had a couple mil in the bank they are NOT "millionaires". After Uncle Sam gets his part each brother might be left with around $350K. Hardly anywhere close to being a "millionaire".

I don't care. And I agree, the cutting in line wasn't decisive. But it was revealing. Personally, I don't think there is much difference between being a rich person who's willing to cheat to gain an advantage, or being a poor person who's willing to cheat to gain an advantage. Money doesn't equal character. The brothers can pat themselves on the back for winning, but in order to win, they sacrificed their integrity. That's not a good thing.

The part where the bros got to 1st class I missed last night - what exactly did they say to convince the flight attendant to allow them to sit there? And why didn't the other teams notice, and do likewise?

they edited that part out like thgey did with brent & kaite doing a task.
the matching the paintings or holograms of prior contestants
I guess once first two made it maybe they told them to just go ahead.
They need to do another America show change it up a bit
