Hippyt | Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 04:49 pm     I was reading today that the next episode is a non-elimination. Since it seems the teams usually seem to know this,doesn't it make sense that nobody would waste time trying to go for it this week? We already know Wil and Terror either don't go for it or don't get it,because they are shown bungee jumping. The only advantage it would give B&P would be a first start next week,which would be wiped out when Wil and Terror get it. AND,if they do both wait til the next episode,that means whoever doesn't get it will have a good chance of being eliminated,because they wasted time going for a FF that didn't happen. On,the other hand,if they did both go for it this week,it would be an advantage to be the team that didn't get it! Which would be Will and Terror,because we've already seen they don't get it this week. That would be depressing! What do ya'll think? Discuss amongst yourselves... |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 07:55 pm     I was reading today that the next episode is a non-elimination. Since it seems the teams usually seem to know this, doesn't it make sense that nobody would waste time trying to go for it this week? I thought this during last weeks first episode, but it seemed they didn't know at the beginning of that round, because didn't two teams try and go for the FF? I think they have to be careful of how they word it on the clues. Aren't there 3 non-elimination rounds left? When is the last show airing again? Anyone remember? |
Hippyt | Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 08:18 pm     Mygetaway,there are only 3 shows left! There are a total of 3 non-elimination episodes,and 2 have aired.Here's Wilsonatmd post in another thread:09, 2002 - 11:37 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok an update on this....here is what seems to be the schedule now (note the changes)... 4-10 non-elimination 1 4-17 elimination 6 4-24 TWO EPS: hour 1:non-elimination 2 hour 2:elimination 7 5-01 non-elimination 3 5-08 elimination 8 5-15 TWO HOUR FINALE Thanks Wilson,hope you don't mind me copying! |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 04:17 am     I could swear I remember the host saying that there were FOUR non elimination rounds last week. I remember it because I was shocked wondering how they were going to pull that off! |
Spygirl | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 04:34 am     I heard that too |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 06:43 am     hmm but chances are tonight is non?? That is a question on amaziiing game... |
Hippyt | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 09:02 am     hmm,really,I might have that on tape.....off to look |
Hippyt | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 09:13 am     You're right,Faerygdds,Phil says there are Four non-elimination legs! Good ears! I wonder how they are going to do it? I'd still bet tonight will be non-elimination . |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 01:54 pm     Maybe there is a non-elimination in the first hour of the two hour finale? Maybe they also had to change the way the last epsiode goes, because didn't The Guidos get so far behind that they had to change the ending and wait for them to come in? |
Crazydog | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 02:12 pm     Yes, technically there are indeed FOUR non-elims, one of those being the first hour of the finale. The same thing happened last year with the Guidos in Alaska, they didn't call it a non-elimination but as we know they were not fully eliminated until Rob and Brennan won. This caused quite a bit of confusion as last year Phil had said there were only three non-eliminations. This year they've made it clear there are four. And TV Guide has already listed something about four teams racing on the 5/8 episode, meaning tonight is definitely a non-elimination. |
Hippyt | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 03:08 pm     Right,I read that at TV Guide too. I was thinking about it earlier,and for a minute,I had totally forgotten Team Guido were still in the race til the end! Technically,anyway! |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 08:25 pm     I'm of the belief that B+P will probably make the final 3 because of the FF use this week. T+W will definately use the FF next week. So that leaves 2 teams behind B+P. My thinking is B+P only has to beat one of the other 2 teams, so it's a calculated but reasonable risk. And it looks like they are not going to another country, so that helps B+P limit the bunching problems. The key is the difference between B+P and O+D and C+A.....IF the lead is more than a couple of hours, IF B+P don't make a big mistake, and IF there isn't a big bunching, they should make it. and T+W are definitely in the final 3 because they were able to stay out of enough trouble to keep the FF for this most opporune time. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 08:43 pm     But they do go to Hawaii, Alaska and Las Vegas.. not sure just when .. and I still haven't seen tonight's yet.. 20 min.. |
Hippyt | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Right,T&W will obviously be in the last 3.Funny though,C&A seem to screw up a lot!B&P screw up a lot! O&D don't screw up very much,but they don't move fast either! It's going to be fun! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 04:39 am     Last year showed us an FF does eliminate the possibility of getting bunched at an airport. I am not convinced that Will and Tara will be in the final three. Just too many stops ahead. Am I correct in assuming that the FF will be offered next time leaving the final push without that advantage? I seem to remember that last season the final legs in the US were without FF's. |
Hippyt | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 08:30 am     I would think so Fruitbat. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, May 02, 2002 - 08:46 am     The reason why that was last season is that all three of the remaining teams had already used their FF beforehand, but I think they wouldn't put a FF in the last 2 legs anyway. It would basically win the race for that team. My thinking is they're told the FF are only available up to the last regular elimination point, which makes sense: there would be 11 legs to that point(8 elimination, 3 nonelimination), and thus all 11 teams would have the opportunity to use it. |
