Because the guy red lit and eliminated himself from competition. He left before he was allowed to go. Not much else matters after that.

When you were in grade school or kindergarten and you had to stand in a straight line to go to lunch, it must have killed you that somebody was always ahead of you. Somebody was first and somebody was last. The kid at the front of the line got first choice at the cafeteria serving line. He got the gooey, cheesy mac-n-cheese. The kid at the end of the line got the scrapings, the over cooked noodles and the burnt on cheese.
Was that ever fair?

"Because the guy red lit and eliminated himself from competition. He left before he was allowed to go."

So, when would you see the other side of that coin; when the SECOND guy to go would red light and make it so the first guy to go never had a chance to red light?

You wouldn't.

There IS no other side to that coin.

It's like a two-headed coin that can be flipped all day long, and it will always be "heads."

Unnecessarily unfair.

Surely, you can understand that.
