Mojo are one of the best teams ever on TAR. They were the victims of biased editing (tall poppy syndrone?- 'cause of their good looks?) and they were the victims of being threatened, by being yielded, by the scumbag hippies in Muscat/Oman. "Give us money man or you'll be the hunted". Not to mention Monica being slandered on international tv.
They should've sued BJ and his sidekick for slander.
