Triomom4 | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 08:38 am     I like Terri but with a husband like Ian i think she should be nominated for sainthood. Does anyone else feel this way? I am sad to see the boys of 911 go (sigh) oh well. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:05 am     any post show interviews yet? |
Tntitanfan | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:50 am     I hated to see "my" guys leave,but feared all along that they weren't travel savvy enough to make it. Of course, going to sleep on a 60 miles train trip wasn't the greatest idea either!! I guess it proves once again that "if you snooze, you lose!" |
Guinevere | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 11:07 am     I liked them at first but then got irritated with them trailing along behind the twins and the brothers rather than doing anything by themselves. Still and all, I was sorry to see them go last night. I kept hoping for a non-elimination round (they are doing at least one of those, right?). I would have rather it had been Teri and Ian (soooo much rather!) or Flo and Zach or even the twins to be eliminated. |
Crazydog | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 01:20 pm     I think they deserved to be eliminated. They were far and away the worst team remaining. I too liked them at first. I liked the fact that they were a policeman and a firefighter, and thought they would do well in dealing with people and the physical challenges. Then I found that they seemed to have an aversion with talking to locals because they never wanted to ask anyone where to go. They also seemed to have navigational problems. It annoyed me to no end that they didn't even try to think for themselves. Caught parts of the Early Show interview. They are annoyed with the fact that everyone said they piggybacked. They claim to have done a lot of things for themselves and that it was their "strategy" to let others lead them to where to go because they wanted to conserve their energy for later. (Huh? Does it take a lot of energy to buy a map and look at it?) They blame the cab driver for their elimination. They said because of it they got to the airport very late and couldn't get on the flight that Flo got. (I blame them for not paying attention during that cab ride and for not trying harder to get tickets.) The funniest part (unintentionally funny) was that they said that they were good at dealing with fatigue because of their professions. Julie Chen then showed them a clip of them sleeping on the train. |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 08:03 am     I caught the Early Show interview as well, and was annoyed at their responses. They just seemed put out that the other team thought their "strategy" was piggy-backing... What else would you call it?!?! I was howling after the fatigue comment, and the film of the snooze on the train!!! |

I am in complete agreement with these sentiments. They may have been 'nice guys' but, the undisputable fact remains: they were NOT good at PLAYING THE GAME!!! |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 09:06 pm     This team was completely and utterly snakebit, according to a realitytvfans.com interview.... Leg 1: Andre was extremely sick, and as a result he couldn't eat a thing and got dehydrated. At the Pitstop, he saw a doctor, who advised them to drop out of the Race, but they were able to talk them out of it. Leg 2: We knew about the bus incident. At the Detour, Their jetski broke down, and a production member had to help them change the sparkplug. Leg 3: They were stuck in the London Subway for a time due to a power failure... Leg 4: Nothing happened thank goodness... Leg 5: Caught the diesel fuel markings, but had to turn back because Damon thought he had left his passport at the cliff rappelling Detour location.....but it was in his bag the whole time. Leg 6: The infamous taxi incident, and remember, they weren't given any time back...they lost 2 hours because of it. Leg 7: They knew they were gone when they missed the Paris flight and got stuck in the airport overnight....and finally, they lost an hour because they fell asleep and missed their train stop. They had more bad luck than probably all the teams in all three races combined....the mere fact that they survived and still had a smile on their faces at the end with the dollar joke was remarkable.... (Fun Fact: Damon was an alternate for Survivor:Thailand) |

Crazydog | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 02:36 pm     I agree that getting sick, the bus, the jetski and the London subway were bad luck, but no less than anything else other teams in the past have experienced. Margarita of TAR1 said she got sick three times, or something like that. And others have had bus accidents or car problems and recovered. But thinking you left your passport somewhere when it was with you the whole time is not bad luck, it's plain stupidity. And I think the taxi thing was their own fault as well. Several other teams thought they were being taken the wrong way as well (Derek/Drew and JohnVito/Jill) but when they drove by the hotel they made the cab stop. They didn't even bother paying attention. If they had bothered to ask someone where the hotel was they would have realized they were going the wrong way. The plane tickets in Paris I also think was their own fault. I don't understand why they didn't try to book tickets with another airline. It seemed like when their "Lufthansa angel" fell through they just gave up. And of course oversleeping is not bad luck. I think they may have had their share of bad luck early on in the race, but all of the subsequent incidents can be attributed to their own stupidity. It's the good teams that can rise above the bad luck, it's the bad teams that try to blame it for their downfall. |
