They can't control late arrivals, etc., but I would not be surprised to know that they have some imput in whether TAR people make it on the plane from the waiting list, etc. Maybe I am too much the cynic.

I assume CBS plays deus ex machina as well. Maybe the pilot screwed up and was told to take both contestants, and mistakenly pulled the gate away. (I'm still not convinced that Colin and Christie--the intense couple on the 5th season-- couldn't make the flight that would have put them 24 hours ahead of everyone on the way to New Zealand (or whereever)
Dug up the article I saw. Uchenna and Joyce have a pretty good response . . .
