This week's episode of the Amazing Race was won by a team which had already won twice before. This week, in a really close finish, they outran another team to the finish line. They won by about half a step after both teams sprinted what looked like about 100 yards.
As the teams talked to the race's announcer, the team that came in second complained that the winners had already won twice and that they should be willing to let other teams win once in awhile.
What do think about this? Should the winning team have let the other team win? If you won a race because another team let you, how would you feel about it?

To me, win isn't a gift, it's something that is achieved. If I am competing at something that is really important to me and my opponent lets me win, I feel patronized; it doesn't make me feel good about myself.
That said, I welcome any opponent who will let me win at Scrabble...
I think that the second team should not have complained because they could have tried harder. I think that whoever wins is the true winner because they tried there hardest, so they deserve to win even if they won before.
If the first team said the second team could win, I would not feel proud.
