Something has been pestering me since episode 2.
When the whole scene at the airport between the Teachers and Paul/Amie went down. I remember the Teacher telling the airport person they needed 4 seats and then did the famous 'And they're not with me" line that pissed Amie off so badly.

So do you think that each group travels with cameraguy and producer? Or do you think that it kind of rotates? There are of course production crew at each check point. But obviously they are getting footage in between as well. Wonder if these people slow them down sometimes?
It also may explain why they aren't too concerned with having to check luggage if they have to wait for the production team to get their gear etc. anyway.

I THINK that your guess is right. I seem to remember one of the teams mentioning about the 2 ghost companions. Makes sense, would you send two Americans out into the African bush without knowing exactly where they are at all times? Would need to have some way to be in communication at all times.

I agree Rissa- I just hope that all teams are equally burdoned - if you know what I mean.
Funny that you mention the dangers of Africa. I was talking about the debut episode with one of my daughter's friends. He is from South Africa- so I was describing to him what the show was and how they were asking for directions...he exclaimed "They will be killed!' I said - they have cameramen with them and he laughed and said "That will make them safer than if they had guns" There is a lot of truth in that I think-there is something about a camera in you face that somehow controls you ...

Is there any way this show could get a link from the tvclubhouse front page? (and maybe one for BB too, since it is after all still the BBFC).. To me it is just as worth as Temptation Island II, that won't even start for several weeks....

JUDY,

I remember at one point when Paul had to go up the tower, he put his hand out and tried to shove the camera away. I do believe that they have a camera person for each couple to get the full effect & drama.

Also, I had wondered about the travelling, especially now with the horrible situation in the U.S. and the planes, etc., I thought that they were going to cancel the show due to this.

Well, the show was all filmed long before 9/11.

JUDY,

I forgot the first part of your message....

Regarding the line, "she's not with us", Amie took it personally. From what I have seenm, she can be very aggressive, as well as quite needy and possibly unstable. I can only guess, however as I am not under all of this pressure and can't know how it feels to be on this fast-paced show.

Did Mom and Daughter steal someone's cab ( Aimee and Paul) and then mom talked about the character of other people?

I'm not sure if I got this right. Please tell me I'm wrong.

I am not positive if they stole the cab. I think they said they also called a cab. One of the cabs did not show up and I am assuming it was paul and Amies. I could be wrong.

One of the cabs didn't show up but they didn't know which one. Apparently, they don't take names when you call for a cab - will have to remember to give my name if I am ever in need of a cab. The Mother and daughter didn't know Paul had already talked to the driver and had gone to get their stuff and Aimee or I think they would have let them have the cab. I think they should have anyway, because Paul and Aimee were the first to leave the checkout point but I don't think they thought they were stealing the cab - that it was theirs.

Oh yeah the cab crap!
Actually that first cab for Rob & Brennan that Frank & Margaritta tried to take - the driver asked for Franks passport...and said the name "Rob" and Frank said "yeah, yeah, Rob"!
I would classify that as a definate attempt to swipe that cab! And it is obvious that there is not enough room to share. I really think that Rob & Brennan do help Frank & Margeritta alot though but they sure don't seem to see it or appreciate it!

I don't think that the mother and daughter were wrong from what I saw, in taking the cab. They weren't being malicious, they saw a cab and got in. They are a pretty reasonable pair. They didn't jump in it and said, "GO" like Team Guido would.

Did anyone else noticed that on Episode 2, as Bert and Ernie were running up to earn their place at the end of the show, they were the only ones running without their backpacks or bags? When I saw that, I was thinking it was unfair because they could maneuver and run faster than the rest of the teams (who were wearing their gear). Then on this past espisode, I'm pretty sure they were without their gear once again as they were looking for the coffee shop. Did anyone else notice this? I was wondering if they would receive "penalty" minutes at the start of their next race but they didn't as far as I could see. I'm guessing that they left their gear with the AR show crew. Just an observation and I'm glad I found a place to post it. Thanks!

Egbok, I looked this time to see if Ernie and Bert had their backpacks and I think that they actually did, but I am not 100% on that. We'll have to take a closer looksie and compare notes from the next show!!!

Egbok I noticed that as well when they were running thru the marketplace looking for the coffee shop. It's peculiar that none of the other teams have done this, especially if they are leaving gear with the crew.

NOTE to the Site Monitor:

QUESTION

Can you tell me why the date and time of the message that I am writing and then posting is incorrect. For instance, right it is Mon. Oct. 8th, 1:35pm and it states that my message is Sun. Oct. 7th , 10:45pm. I notice this each time. Can you fix or explain? Thanks!

Tbear -- if you meant "it is Mon. Oct. 8th, 1:35AM" (not PM) then your answer is because the board is on Pacific time. Right now it is 8:25am for me (I'm in the central time zone) and yet the time post on this will be two hours earlier.

Since people post from all over the place, it doesn't make sense to post the time of each poster -- there would be no uniformity.

Hope this helps.

I also noticed that team Guido were not carrying anything, this show and last show. Maybe they leave their bags in a locker somewhere. Smart on their part, but why don't the others do the same?
Do they have free time to go and collect them?
I can't believe their 'crew' would carry them, not with all the equipment they have to carry for themselves.
It's 12:41 Eastern here on Monday, Oct 8 - Our Thanksgiving Day in Canada

I can't wait for tonight. Amazing Race is my favorite right now. Although the Love Cruise is getting pretty tough - last show next Tuesday. For thanksgiving dinner I had Chinese food because I was at work both Sunday and Monday. My families had turkey and pumpkin pie with whipped cream but someone forgot the cranberries so on Tuesday when I finally got to have some I had to use Rasberry Jam (it was ok) and they ate all the pumpkin pie - Boo Hoo.
