Hippyt | Wednesday, April 03, 2002 - 05:45 pm     Ah,good catch Micknrc,I really debated over whether or not to kick Chris and Alex off my AG team.I'm glad I didn't after reading that!! |
Urgrace | Wednesday, April 03, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Dang Spurs basketball pre-empted the show here, so I am sitting here pouting. Somebody please bring me up to date, and throw in a couple of details? |
Sadiesmom | Wednesday, April 03, 2002 - 07:56 pm     I have a question, I know that Cha Cha were in the back of the plane and fell behind. But how did they fall so far behind. They had that local girl to help them, they seemed to buy only one paper car. It looked like they were on the sixth bus. How often can those busses leave? How far behind do you think they are? |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 03, 2002 - 11:06 pm     now we know what "welcome to the world of being human" means |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 04:51 am     Sadiesmom, I have that same question. They did not show enough for us to get sense of how this happened. I know they said they were far back in the airplane and on a jumbo jet this can mean as much as 10 minutes. But they seemed to trail by quite a bit. I wonder if they are allowed to approach a passenger sitting close to the door and explain why they want to swap seats just before landing. I didn't even realize these episodes have titles. We pay so much attention to Survivors titles what was I thinking! "I'm going to take his girl" seems to refer to Tara and Chris(?). I see no clues here. I am not sure it even means both these teams remain. It could be a parting comment. |
Grooch | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 04:59 am     Fruitbat, while you are waiting those extra 10 minutes to get off the plane, there are many more people getting off other planes and getting in line at customs first. That's my guess. I wondered about why they didn't swap seats either. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 05:32 am     I forgot about customs. That is exactly where some teams fell behind. They could have been chosen to have their bags searched. |
Judy | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 05:59 am     Yes- with the airport situation the way it is now I am even thinking you CAN'T switch seats. They prob look at your ticket and check your seat assignment as you leave. These days switching seats would raise a red flag. I'll bet being on the back of that plane could have put them as much as an hour behind the others... |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 06:36 am     This show was completed before 9/11 I think. |
Julieboo | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 07:34 am     Seamonkey, I guess I'm slow, cuz I still don't get the title. 'splain, please!? |
Micknrc | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:37 am     CBS website teaser for next week: Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE: The alliance between Chris & Alex and Tara & Wil takes a decisive turn for the worse, but will that impact Tara's developing chemistry with Alex? Oswald & Danny's morale is fading fast. Will a 19-hour ride on a dirt-choked train turn things around, or bring "Team Cha Cha Cha" crashing to the ground? What starts out as a fun shopping expedition for several Teams turns into an explosive argument between Mary & Peach. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:55 am     Bat, I think it was after 9/11.. remember they found out the very first night in Vegas that running in airports isn't such a good tactic anymore, because it will slow you down.. I know the host guy also mentioned that in some interview that the "post 9/11" world played a part in this TAR as opposed to the first one. Julie.. That phrase, "Welcome to the world of being human" was what Mary said after Blake and Paige made the huge (snort) concession of letting Mary and Peach take their envelope a second before Blake and Paige.. because B/P ran thru the trees. Bat.. I didn't know they had titles for the episodes either! I was cracking up thinking of all the agonizing over the Survivor titles and we could have been similarly agonizing over these titles as well. I'm sure we will catch up tho. Oh, no.. I don't want Danny and Oswald's morale to be down |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 09:21 am     Oh that's right! after 9/11 |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 05:46 am     ~bump~ I think it is time to look at who is being edited to win and who to be eliminated. I believe it was said by the first couple out that the ending was a surprize and could not have been better if they had created it. Very exciting. Bad guys never win on TV so it is safe to say that Will/Tara and Blake/Paige do not. I will add, they are being edited to be the pesky ones. An exciting end could possibly be bad and good racing to the finnish line. The Geeks, Cha Cha, Chris/Alex and Mary/Peach are the nice guys. The promo points to Cha Cha to go but the wording suggests this is not true. Chris and Alex have made some bad choices and are not as savvy as the others so they are contenders. They do not stand out in anyway either. Even though the focus this week is on Alex and Tara and the teams not getting along I bet one of them goes. I am leaning toward Will and Tara gone with Alex promising to look her up when he is done thus the "I'm going to get that girl" reference. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 06:40 am     I shouldn't post before I've had enough coffee, but.... MsBat, I missed that reference by Alex "I'm going to get that girl" I also missed the exit interview with the first team out. If the winning team was a surprise, that would lead me to pick Mary/Peach as the winners. I was going to pick Cha Cha to go this week, they are in last place and one of them has a bum foot. What is the wording that suggests otherwise? I agree wholeheartedly about the "bad guys" not coming in first on TV. If Blake/Paige or Tara/Will HAD, the producers would have edited them differently. I just keep thinking its going to be Chris/Alex to win. Going with my "theory" of show editing, one thing that stands out to me is the show host's voice saying Chris and Alex, Chris and Alex, every show, from the first. The editing team made sure they got the confident boast in by these two that they were going to "bring it home to Beantown" (a little puzzling to me, I grew up in Mass and NEVER refered to Boston as "Beantown"?) Let's talk about this, I really want to pick the correct team this week. Last week I was all set to pick the Revs to go but I couldn't get a clear answer on WHO atually was in the batcave. I THOUGHT it was Mrs. REv, but the CBS site was saying in was Peach..... woke up late today, going to make a second cup of coffee...... |
Julieboo | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 09:22 am     >>Bad guys never win on TV so it is safe to say that Will/Tara and Blake/Paige do not.<< I really don't think that Blake & Paige are bad guys. Dang, they haven't done anything wrong, mean or evil. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 09:35 am     LOL! I know this is really getting to you {{{JULIEBOO}}} I really don't think Blake & Paige are "bad guys" either. Its just how they have been edited. (hence, my comment above) That is why I'm guessing they are not going to come in first place. I'm SURE that ANY of these teams, from this season AND last could be edited to look just about any way the producers want. That's TV for ya. |
Corriecat | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 09:38 am     I haven't read or posted here in ages but I stopped by today and thought I would jump in on this one. I that Chris and Alex may be do better than it appears they will at this point. The cute lawyers were frequently shown as behind the others and not able to do well without following the leaders but they won. All it takes is one mistake or one incident that is out of your control to put you from first to last. I'm wondering if taking the van instead of the public bus with hurt Wil and Tara or maybe a false sense of security being in a place they have visited before will hurt them the way it did the Guidos. As for the "Beantown" comment I heard that name a lot before I moved to Mass but I never hear it here either. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 09:44 am     Julieboo, go back and read my post. You chose to isolate one sentence out of context. Below I quote the entire thought. >>>>Bad guys never win on TV so it is safe to say that Will/Tara and Blake/Paige do not. I will add,they are being edited to be the pesky ones.<<<< |
Julieboo | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 10:28 am     Fruitbat, I did read your whole post. I did not take anything out of context. I know your next sentence referred to the editing. Don't be mad, I am just defending B&P. I think they are getting an unfair bad rap. (Now watch tonight--they'll do something really bad and I'll be reading all sorts of "I told ya so's".) ...and ya know what, you and WebK are probably right about how they (along with W&T) probably won't be the winners. |
Hippyt | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 10:38 am     Richard won. |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 10:57 am     Will won. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 11:16 am     I liked them both and rooted for each to win.  |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 11:16 am     I do not see Paige and Blake as bad either. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 12:17 pm     I liked Richard and Will too! So do ya think that B&P will? (win, that is) |
