Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 07:20 pm   What is their problem? The race isn't even close and they are cutting people off in their tracks. They are not going to win. |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 08:15 pm   I hope their dog bites them |
Zed | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 08:25 pm   Their problem seems to be an over-inflated sense of themselves with a liberal dose of snobbery thrown in for good measure. I'm waiting for the moment when the Guido's need help and all those they shafted tell them "ce qui circule vient autour de" |
Egbok | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 08:59 pm   It's not their dog who's going to come back and bite them! Meanie Team Guido is doomed. |
Hyperdramatic | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 09:09 pm   Oh come on. I agree they didn't come off in the greatest light yesterday but if I were playing the game I'd be cut-throat too. I didn't agree with them abandoning the other teams at Gare de Lyon, but I didn't think they did anything wrong at Foucault's pendulum. If the other teams had looked around they would have seen where it was too. They only agreed to go inside in order not look at the pendulum in order. You think at least the lawyers would give them that. I don't know how important it's going to be for the teams to work together in the race. There are some pretty dim bulbs in this bunch and to work with some of these teams means that you're going to have a bunch people riding on your coattails to the next checkpoint. I hope team Guido stays in but tones down their act a little. |
Roe325 | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 06:26 am   oh didn't notice this thread! they annoy me to no end! they are so cocky! What Zed said! |
Wink | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 10:36 am   These two are a royal pain. Can't wait to see them in their matching mukluks during the dogsled challenge. |
Roe325 | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 03:36 pm   When they were prancing through the streets of Paris, and speaking oh so Frency, I wanted to puke. they are so overdoing the cutsie thing. One of them, I think the one with the dark hair is not very nice to the other and makes him feel inadequate. I forgot what was said last night (of course) but whatever it was made the other guy feel stupid. he just hung his head. |
Fflur | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 04:10 pm   The part that bothered me the most was when they decided to "be nice" and help the girls with the train and showed them to the wrong train...and then quickly turned the other way and went to the correct train. This really got me. Thankfully the "Underdogs" found the right train in time, no thanks to Team Guido and their help. |
Roe325 | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 04:22 pm   how do they sleep at night! Every dog has its day and they are due. the teachers got theirs!!

Guinevere | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 11:42 pm   I could stand the cutthroat behavior (part of the game) if they just weren't so damn smug about it. |
Britchick | Monday, October 01, 2001 - 09:34 am   Guinevere, wasn't your favourite moment on last week's show the bit of Team Guido smugly talking about how "noone else knows Paris and noone else will think to go to Foucault's Pendulum..." and then the look on their faces when they found that they weren't the first ones there!! |
Trinity | Monday, October 01, 2001 - 10:33 am   I thought it was funny at the end they thought they were third and they turned out to be fourth. HAHAHAHA |
Bidasea | Monday, October 01, 2001 - 12:13 pm   Team Guido could be making a huge strategic mistake in alienating Every other team. All the other teams will eventually want to see them fall flat on their faces. They might need to have an aliance with another team at some point. |
Enbwife | Monday, October 01, 2001 - 05:55 pm   I agree with you all. Guido must go down! Too cocky and self-righteous. They were so surprised that the Lawyer buddies beat them. They looked like they were going to fall over when they were told they weren't first (ha ha)! Priceless!!! |
Tbear | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 12:43 am   I agree about these guys. They could just go their own way and not make alliances "having someone on their coat tails". I know that it is a game, but they are deceitful. Telling the underdogs to go on the wrong train was uncalled for. I wonder how must trust their is between each of them in their relationship. Yeah! It was great when the one said, "We are 4th, not 3rd?! I have a gut-feeling that they won't win. |
Smileeys | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 10:17 pm   I wish we could send the rest of the team a banner (I know it has already been filmed but this is a wish) saying for them to team up for just one leg of the race and make sure Team Guido comes in last. It would be worth a shot. |
C1mag | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 10:53 pm   I'm with the majority in that these are not my favorites for the win but after tonights episode it's looking like this is the team to beat for the prize. YUK!! |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, October 10, 2001 - 07:15 pm   They are not normal. |
Bidasea | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 08:21 pm   I don't like the Guido team any better now than I first did..If anything they are getting worse. They are always in 1st or 2nd place, but don't help anyone out..Sore winners  |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, October 30, 2001 - 05:20 am   very funny, Ocean. |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 30, 2001 - 05:46 am   I watched bits and pieces of several football games Sunday and didn't see a single occasion when one team was helping the other out (intentionally, that is). This is a GAME, and the object is to WIN!! They would not be my favorite dinner guests, but they are very good players. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, October 30, 2001 - 08:13 am   Yes, but in the context of football, the great majority of the players are good sports who play fair and do not try to win by using nasty tricks. There's nothing wrong with being competitive. However, the Guidos are poor winners - they are overly condescending and snide. Additionally, in the process of trying to win, they are sabotaging other teams. That would be like players on one team tying up the opposing quarterback and stuffing him into a closet and hoping he doesn't get discovered until after the game has started. Has this ever happened? The Guidos do NOT fit my definition of "very good players", they fit my definition of !@#$%^& a$$hole$. |
Car54 | Tuesday, October 30, 2001 - 01:29 pm   Just a reminder....go over to the CBS site and vote against the Guidos some more...we have them down to the high teens this week, but we can get them lower! The site will be updated Thursday or Friday, so vote them down!!!! (And vote somebody you like up!) VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN! |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 30, 2001 - 07:28 pm   I think we have a difference in semantics here. Around here a "player" is one who gets the job done using whatever tactics or manipulation is necessary. I do not suggest that team Guido are GOOD players; I say they are good PLAYERS! IMHO, of course! |
C1mag | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 07:40 am   Tntitan I have to agree with you. I'd never invite these two for dinner but they are proving themselves to be the team to beat. I do think just like the rest of the players that their luck will run out and then we will see how well they really play this game. It was not the best idea to literally hold up the whole group at the gate. It was simply called poor sportsmanship which is different than strategy and focus. This might be their weakness. When they get down and out they may not respond too intelligently. We will see. I don't consider them to be the best players of this game. They've gotten very luck having the first portion of this game in their own old hometown speaking a language that they are accustom too. However, I think Franks competitve physical nature and Margarita's intelligents play very well with one another and I think they are the better team. Guido is all kill, kill and Frank and Margarita is just keep pace and use your head and stay away from the drama. This truly is the better strategy. |
