What kind of "twist" was that!?!?
The ClubHouse: Archives: What kind of "twist" was that!?!?
Kitt | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 11:17 am   That was a really disappointing episode. It would have been a twist if the Guidos were out, it was NOT a twist that Momily were out. Up to the last few shots when I realised that one of the Guidos was narrating from after the pitstop, and didn't sound distraught, and therefore wasn't out... up until then I thought the only possible twist would be the Guidos losing. Arggggggg. That show really annoyed me! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 12:10 pm   Moderator....Nekos long string of symbols is making this thread too wide for some of our monitors. Can someone shorten it please? Thanks. |
Moderator | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 12:17 pm   Is that any better? It looked normal on my screen. |
Ocdakota | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 12:18 pm   Actually it was a twist. Everyone expected Guido to be gone as the "unexpected" twist, but CBS just turned it from expect the unexpected to unexpect the expected. Don't really like Guido, but have to say they are playing the game. In the first show when they were all in New York, weren't they told to lie, cheat, and mind-bend your opponents. That's what Guido does. (They have to pay for new hairpieces and Dog Guido needs a new chew toy.) Also did anyone else catch that the Frat Boys whispered to Mom and Emily the location of the Fast Forward. Would have thought that would have been against the rules.....of course CBS might not have gotten to writing that one down yet. |
Crazydog | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 12:57 pm   I don't think it broke any rules for them to tell Nancy and Emily, after all Nancy and Emily couldn't leave until their appointed time anyhow, they were just trying to give them a heads up. Rob and Brennan asked Frank and Margarita once to read out the clue aloud. I'd doubt there's anything in the rules preventing the teams from working together, I guess it's just assumed that most would not. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 01:06 pm   Thanks.  |
Fred | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 06:12 pm   The "Twist" was the fact that the guido's were actually helping another team ie. When Nancy and Emily had just lost the FF the guido's were actually giving them some advice on the quickest way to take to get back into the race(not that i would have trusted them with thier track record for giving advice!) just my theory |
Realtvfan | Friday, November 16, 2001 - 11:13 am   To me the "twist" was that for the first time, the team with the FF would not have finished first. In fact, the team with the FF would have finished last and been eliminated if Nancy and Emily didn't give up and had just taken that bus. Nancy and Emily were only 1/2 an hour behind Kevin and Drew but they did not know it. Definitely not the twist I was hoping to see, but oh well. |
Tvduck | Friday, November 16, 2001 - 11:42 am   Note to Emily: when the instruction says take the bus, take the bus, take the damn bus. |
Mindyrama | Friday, November 16, 2001 - 11:51 am   I agree with Realfan, the twist was the Guido's getting the FF and coming in last,and the fact that for the first time a team that did not come in last was eliminated due to a penalty. The fatal error was Nancy and Emily taking that stupid cab. |
Tbear | Saturday, November 17, 2001 - 01:36 pm   I thought that it was not only a "surprising twist", as they stated on the preview, but a clever one. We didn't know until the end, who actually lost.
I've got to hand-it-over to those of you who saw this as a neat twist also. lol I agree with TVduck. Hellooo Emily, it says to take the bus! I also agree with Fred, except I DID believe Bert and Ernie were helping. However, ONLY because they felt that they couldn't lose no matter what with winning the FF.
