The ClubHouse: Archives: Ad for this week's AR
Car54 | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 05:50 pm   I just saw a commercial for this week's Race that showed the Frat boys abandoning their position to go back and help Nancy & Emily. The announcer said something about them "helping one of their own." |
Gail | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 06:26 pm   I saw that same ad yesterday - I thought that was pretty nice. |
Cinder | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 08:42 pm   I wondered if they checked in and then went back to "get the girls." Not sure if they are allowed to leave the chcekpoint after they get there. They must be because there was nowhere to sleep at the Monument in Paris. I just don't want either team to lose yet. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 04:06 am   I wish the Frat boys would play for themselves. I think it is sweet to help the girls but it may cost them. <I harbor fantasies of dope slapping Mom > |
Car54 | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 09:36 am   I am really worried about them... they were my pick for the most improved team... I loved it last week when they were belly dancing at the final check-in and when they tricked the Guidos. Pooh on chivalry.... I wonder what happens to the girls. |
Tbear | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 11:50 pm   CINDER, My strong guess would be that NOBODY would be aloud to check-in and then go and help the others. |
Oxjawhand | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 07:43 pm   Hi there, de-lurking for the Amazing Race.... It *does* look like the Frat boys go back to "get their girls" at some point (and like most everyone else here I'm not sure how or where it could happen) but I'm not so sure their motivation is that sweet or noble. A few weeks ago they had a very funny segment where the mom was saying in a very sweet manner (I'm paraphrasing here) how wonderful the boys were, and how they've "adopted" each other and are like a family, and then they cut to one of the boys (Drew?) who came right out and said they were taking them under their wing because they'd be the easiest team to beat *by far* in the end. So even though it might seem risky, I think trying to make sure the mother and daughter stay in the game is part of their overall strategy. It's 7:30pm here, so I have an hour and a half to find out what really happens. I don't want to read any spoilers, so I guess I'll check back after the show. Oh, and please don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying this to bash Kevin and Drew. Actually, I didn't really care for them *until* I heard this. It was the first really good strategy I've seen. Now that my favorites, David & Margaretta, are gone they are my favorite to win. PS: Car54, my favorite moment was just before the belly dancing. The look on the 2nd Guido's face when he heard they were #2 was priceless! But I loved seeing them sitting there watching them belly dance! |
Car54 | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 08:27 pm   I am so glad the boys came out OK. They have really shown what good guys they are deep down... their moms must be proud of them! I like it that when the chips are down, they don't play dirty...I have no problem using strategy- I thought everyone did a good job of that, but I really think the boys have a lot of heart.... All of these teams seem like good people (except the Guidos.....) |
Hippyt | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 08:44 pm   Well,now we know they were actually telling the taxi driver to go back and get the girls. So,although they have an alliance with them,they are playing their own game. Caring and smart! I like em! |
Voyeur | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 10:37 pm   What was really big hearted was when they got two other teams on the plane with them. They didn't have to do that at all. |
Oxjawhand | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 01:39 am   Oh, the look on the Guidos face when they realized the boys were buying the tickets for six people! I was so mad when they started up with that whole "You threatened to break my legs", "Are we in danger?!" crap. Drew was obviously joking, but it was a Guido that actually pushed the mom out of the way. |
