It is significant because there's a very good chance they never even saw
each other at the pit stop. That's why I asked if you had some sort of
information that proved that C/M even knew that Cha Cha needed money before
Oswald admitted the deal he made with the BQ's. It appears from the episode
that they didn't so your criticism of C/M is unfounded.

Do you know how much access the teams have to the general public during pit
stops? I would think that if they were able to mingle, then we'd see a lot
of teams starting legs with escorts they met at the pit stop, yet I don't
recall that ever happening.
