Third time's a charm???
The ClubHouse: Archives: Third time's a charm???
Fred | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 07:02 pm   Twice those *@$%@ guido's have escaped elimination when they were dead last...aaaggghhhhh! have u ever seen anyone with as much luck as those guys get? |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 07:05 pm   That is just what I said in another thread, do they get all the breaks or what, they should have been out last week too. |
Sallycat | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 08:04 pm   The sneaky editors are showing us their good side. Who knew they had one? I did feel a tiny lump of respect growing for them tonight. Being behind had took away the smugness we had all come to loath. I can't say that I want them to win, but I can see the show will be better with the four teams continuing on. If that race next week is in a rickshaw the Frats will be harder to pull. |
Tksoard | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 08:23 pm   Yes, but their smugness was back in the previews. ICK!!!!1  |
Muse | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 10:26 pm   I won't mind as long as they're out NEXT WEEK. Grr - I'd hate to see them make the final three. You know they'd be patting themselves on the back for it the entire time. They'll be especially smug since it'd mean that the frat brothers didn't make it, too. They were more tolerable in this episode, but they still had some of their trademark moments. Like when they found out about the climbing. They immediately started bragging about how they go skiing all the time. Yeah, well, that's skiing. Entirely different activity. They weren't just trying to say they were physically fit. They seemed to be trying to make some point about how they've been around mountains...or something. I didn't get it. And their comment about "we'll win in our own special way" grated, too. I liked their mutual support (less bickering between those two this time), but *must* they always be so self-congratulatory? Sheesh. They're battling to even stay in the race at this point. |
Tbear | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 10:45 pm   It does look like they are battling last place again next week with the Frats. I hope that the Frats make it. Like you said, Third times a charm , I sure hope so.

Mygetaway | Wednesday, November 21, 2001 - 10:48 pm   I couldn't even get excited tonight with them so far behind, because I knew that something like that was going to happen. (non-elimination) You guys are pretty good about predicting those things. I'd hate to see them beat out Drew and Kev next week. The only consolation would be IF and when they go on Rosie and she is MEAN (yeh, right) to them. |
Dogdoc | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 06:32 am   I liked the Guidos better this week.They looked older to me in this episode (10-21). I am sure it is because I found out they are in their 50's (I am too) or maybe because they were not wearing their "we are better than everybody else" expressions.Compare how one encouraged the other in the rock climb to good old Frank yelling at Marquarite. I hope the lawyers win. |
Weinermr | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 08:30 am   I was hoping we could oust Bert and Ernie, But I'm glad the leader is an attorney, The frat boys for sure, Are my favorites on tour, Now that Momily exited early. |
Bidasea | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 08:45 am   Team Guido was the only team that had to spend their own money this week to stay in a hotel. They must be running low on cash..Maybe that will cause them some problems down the road. I can't tell if the frat boys are bickering, or just playing. They are so used to talking to each other like that.They were just playing when one said the other climbs like a girl...They really showed their true deep feelings in India when the children were begging for money. It sounds like it is Frank and Marg. that re-start bickering next week... |
Dino | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 02:09 pm   The comment 'don't be a girl' - is rude and shows an individual's perspective of life. I don't like the lawyers either now. For me, its a free for all who 'should' win cuz I don't like any of their personalities. |
Tbear | Friday, November 23, 2001 - 01:20 am   WEINERMR, That was a good little poem! DINO, Curious....What did the lawyers say that turned you off of their personalities? DOGDOC, I was surprised that Team Guido are in their 50's. I think that the blonde one was wearing glasses until now which makes him look different. If that is the case, I think that he looks better with glasses.  |
Kitt | Friday, November 23, 2001 - 01:52 pm   I agree dogdoc, I liked the Guidos better too this week, they were very good with each other when rock climbing. In fact they seem better sports when they are behind, they're just so self-righteous when they're in front. |
Tntitanfan | Friday, November 23, 2001 - 06:33 pm   I'd be willing to bet that the Guidos have fallen victim to some very selective editing! Their friends and families back home are probably in shock!! They are actually the closest (with each other) "team" in the race. I thought the rock climbing sequence brought that out. Also to be fifteen to twenty years the eldest, they aren't doing so bad! |
Lurknomore | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 04:50 pm   How did the they "edit" the Guido's jockeying for position at the airport, planning to make the others miss their flight and literally hip checking poor Nancy (the mother was Nancy right? lol). And what grown men in their 50's, gay, straight or anything would scurry around in matching outfits. Sorry but BLECHHHHH. |
Tntitanfan | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 09:23 pm   I think a couple of gay guys of whatever age would think matching outfits were the ultimate statement in "campiness." It is supposed to be fun!! |
Fred | Sunday, November 25, 2001 - 07:10 am   I don't think its clever editing entirely that protrays the Guido's the way they are. The rest of the teams as a whole had outcasted guido for their behavior and attitude, i believe the the editing just isolated and pointed out why time after time the guido's gave almost every other team reason to not get along with them. If any other teams were doing the same sort of stunts (like the airport incident) i'm sure editing would fit it in somehow, no matter who did it, nastiness just makes for juicy TV!hehe I don't hate the guido's after all its just a game but they have put themselves on such a pedestal it nauseates me and i feel compelled to root for the underdog, no matter how many there are darn it! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, November 25, 2001 - 02:53 pm   personally, i thought all of the teams acted ok, it's getting down to the wire and each person needs to push the others and these people have been with each other for a while and know what buttons to push. i understand why frank was pushing margarita(sp) cause she needed that to get her up that mountain, my husband would been the same way but i wouldn't have been as nice 'cause i would have been cursing him out all the way up, camera's be da--d. also kevin and drew have been bickering the whole time and i think it's cute, rob and brennan(sp) haven't gotten as much camera time as the others and i don't think they were too bad to each other but i might have missed it. the guidos, what can i say, i can't stand them. but they were a little better this past show, probably because they were only competing with drew & kevin so they had no one to push around. and there isn't that much editing in the world to make them look bad, they just are. they probably should have played football in their youth, they have the killer instinct. whewh, im tired after all that typing. will stop now.  |
Crazydog | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 10:47 am   I was happy that we had a Guido free episode for the first 38 minutes. I agree with everyone who said they were a lot more sympathetic last episode. I actually found myself feeling a little bad for them when they made it to the rock climbing place even though they knew it was closed. They also made me laugh (in a good way) when blonde Guido read the roadblock for the kayaking thing. "The person who completes this roadblock should have a lot of upper body strength." Knowing that the two of them are apparently as weak as kittens, the look and smirk from brunette Guido was hilarious. However, it was not enough to make up for the "sweetie" comment at the rock climb followed quickly by a shot of brunette Guido's a$$ that filled up the ENTIRE screen. I was also a little annoyed at blonde Guido's constant attempts to get something for nothing. In the pouring rain at the King Climbing school, he asks for "cheap" rooms. Then he tried to bargain down a 25 baht ride to 5 baht. (How much is a baht in dollars?) I know they are having money problems, but I don't understand why they feel so comfortable blowing their money on tea but don't want to pay for admissions and services (Taj Mahal) that every team has to pay for. I hope the sympathetic editing signals the end of their trip rather than an attempt to gain redemption for the eventual winners. |
