Why?

[viridian5]

Why do people with major phobias of heights, water, etc. come on The Amazing Race? Do they really think this is the one season they won't have to deal with it? That said, Mika's partner came off as abusive as hell here. Support and encourage your partner, don't drag her to the slide and then try to toss her down the six stories! Did she even want to be in this race to begin with or did he muscle her into it?

I was surprised by the Globetrotters encouraging Mika's fear but... RAAAAAAAACE. It's not their job to help another team eliminate them.
