There are 2 things wrong with that. Even if Craig and Liz did the challenge, if they took the taxi to the top and got the exemptions, NO money would have been added to the pot. In addition, had they taken the cab, the $5,000 would not have came from the $35,000 possible for the challenge, it would have came from the money already in the pot from previous challenges.
Nope, the $5000 would have been subtracted from the $35,000 if the Goal Oriented reached the top first and Uphillers took the cab and got there last. Previous mission pot's $$$ are not eligible for dipping out of. They can only bargain with the money offered in the mission at hand. So Craig and Liz would have been the perfect choice for Uphill Battle. They'd never have made it without the $5000 cab ride. If they got to the top first in the cab, it wouldn't have mattered cuz there would be no money to subtract anyway.
