I think the buying two extra tickets for the crew was stopped a couple of seasons ago, because of the obvious limitations. Anyone else remember Phil saying that in an interview somewhere? I'm pretty sure they no longer have to do that.

Kitt, how else could they do it? Camera and sound has to travel with each team.

But the crew don't have to fly coach, and they don't need a crew for each couple, just one crew for the group on the plane, and a new crew can meet them at the airport because they know ahead of time where they will land. It wouldn't be the first time I'd imagined something, but I thought that change was made a couple of seasons ago.

I realize it isn't unheard of to fly into Oakland. That is where I've always flown into going back to a crazy little airline called Trans California that flew stripped down Constellations out of a very tiny Orange County airport to Oakland (this was in the sixties when I went to Berkeley). Over the years I've driven up many times and flown into Oakland.. used to go up twice a year for conferences and for the last few years go up for Thanksgiving. But I just wondered why they didn't seem to be allowed to consider other flights, or any into SFO. My brother and SIL always fly out of SFO and come from Fairfield through Marin and over the Golden Gate, but of course they choose their time to go. My SIL flies out of SFO to points all over the world for her consulting. Their choice for Hawai'i could be influenced by frequent flyer miles and they may also fly direct to Kau11 where they have a housel The teams CAN fly first class or business IF they can get an upgrade but they cannot pay for those classes. I thought a crew flew with each team. Like in this last show if they had thought they'd have one crew on the one flight that all of them were booked on, then Mirna and Charla would have thrown them for a loop with that last minute switch.

Interesting interviews, Ladytex. The first one, they just are grating for me and the bit about whether they are homophobic.. uh, YEAH, I'd say so and they don't have a clue.
quote:Reality TV World: Eric, when we talked to Joe and Bill as well as Ozwald and Danny, they made some comments that they thought you might be homophobic. I wanted to give you a chance to respond to that. Eric: Joe and Bill, I don't care that they're gay. To them it's a bigger deal because I guess they have to deal with some stuff in their relationship, like throughout, you know? I don't know what it's like to be a gay male 20 years ago... I have no idea. But the problem is everything you say to them, they take it as me saying it because they're gay. Me calling them freaks has nothing to do with sexuality, it's because they're freaks. They freak-out about everything. Their personality... you can call a man a nervous-Nelly, it just means everything that happens they're just like, "Oh my God what's happening! Oh no! Oh no!" I called them queens. They are queens. They're older males, who are gay... Danielle: They're gay and act like women. Eric: I live in South Florida. I'm a waiter. I have plenty of gay friends. And you know what? They call themselves queens. Danny and Oswald, I treated those guys as well as I could treat anybody. They were my friends. I never said anything about them being gay... I don't care if you're gay. It's a personality thing. Joe and Bill, I didn't like their personalities. It has nothing to do with them being gay, it's a simple as that. If I don't like you, I don't like you. I don't care if you're straight, gay, blue or purple... it doesn't matter to me. I really feel like that they just want a reason, they want something to say, and to me it's actually -- especially for Danny and Ozwald to say it -- because I never treated them poorly. Never. For them to act that way, for me it shows a lot about their character then even Yielding us.
I mean calling someone a "nervious Nelly"? And I'm not surprised that Danielle thinks it is ok to call someone a "tard" too.

From the second interview.. and yeah I'd have liked to have seen the cliff jumping and I can certainly understand their disappointment with that and Eric's for them not showing him do a difficult climbing task
quote:Specifically, was there anything that was edited out of this season that you wish they would have shown more of? Danielle: Well, they edited out in last night’s episode, there was a road block that we had to jump off of a cliff and I was so proud of myself but they didn’t show it. What else… Eric: We got to do the one challenge over there, the rock climbing, and nobody did it. I actually did the rock climbing and I was kind of mad they didn’t show me do that because nobody else could do it, I completed it. So I was kind of bummed they didn’t put that in there.

I don't find "nervous Nellie" anymore homophobic than "Chicken Little"....which means, more or less, about the same to me. This PC business sometimes drives me nuts. Keeping the list of what is appropriate and what isn't is hard. I guess the easy answer is not to use any labels. Hard to change old ways, especially those that are on the fringe in terms of typically not be associated with a particular group, race, religion, sex, etc.

I think the problem ight be that - at least around here - "Nellie" is a specific name used for the more feminine partner of a gay male couple, just as "Butch" denotes the more masculine of a gay female couple.

Oh, my. So now "nervous Nellie" has been placed on the PC hit list because of some association, somewhere with the name Nellie??? Sigh. I guess I'm too old to play this PC game. I've just been googleing to see just out of touch I am, but I don't see any gay/homophobic/politically incorrect definitions associated with this term. In my opinion, if a term/word has been established for a long, long time, I cannot see how it can suddenly become anti-social to continue to use it in the same context as it was always used, just because some new meaning has been hung on it in some place, by someone, at some time. I can't keep up with that. I refuse to keep up with it. I know what I mean when I say it, and maybe others need to respect where I am coming from and take it in the spirit in which it was intended. (Whoa! Rant off, Spot!!)

Nervous Nelly used to mean timid. I'd like to give Eric the benefit of the doubt as to his intent when using that phrase, but I just can't. And that first interview link of E/D just, basically, added to my dislike of both of them.

I think it would have been more exciting if they'd been able to choose which airport to fly into, just as they can choose different connecting flights to get to their next destination. I guess it being so close to the finish though...the producers didn't want that. I would be surprised if the 2 crew members didn't have to travel with each team. What if something happened and the crew didn't make it to the next airport in time? They can't really stop all the teams from racing, well, I guess they could but it seems much easier to just have the crew with each team. I don't like Eric and I don't like the Guidos either and it is because all three don't seem like nice people imo.
