Llkoolaid | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:17 pm     I didn't pick the lawyer girls to be gone but am I ever glad I was wrong. I didn't like them the most from the start. The order is really scrambled up now, I hope the fireman/cop team hang in there. The lawyers really cost them some time today and were quite proud of it, I am so glad they are gone. |
Sadiesmom | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:23 pm     I just can't believe they did not just go back and start again. They might have made it. They had 31 minutes to walk to the pit stop. You can do 2 miles in 30 minutes. Especially after they knew the way from the driver. This goes on to prove that not all colleges promote on smarts. Didn't George Bush graduate from Harvard, too? This could explain a lot. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:25 pm     The twins and fireman/cop are my hopes to win. I have barely been paying attention afer Tramel and Talicia left. I really liked those two. The middle aged couple are my hopes/choice to be gone next. Just dont like them and have not since the getgo, vibes, I guess. |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:33 pm     Well lets think about this. Say they were halfway there when they realized the error. Going back one mile to the field would have taken about 5 minutes. Then it would have taken them 20-25 minutes to go the 2 miles to the pitstop (that's an average speed 3 or 4 miles an hour on foot), more if they were carrying their backpacks... It would have been extremely tight timewise. I think Heather/Eve rolled the dice and hoped the time difference would have negated any penalty...but it was 6 minutes too much. |
Suitsmefine | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:37 pm     My picks , in order of who I like best, Twins, Fireman\Cop, Brothers(they make me laugh) the rest I just want to see GOOOOOOOOOO BYYYYYEEEE-BYYYYYEEEE!!!!! |
Babyruth | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:45 pm     Which guy was it who blocked a kick, and then on the way up the steps, said of his save, "it was my catlike movement". LOL Very cute. I think it was Michael or Zach, but I'm not sure. Maybe John Vito. ??? |
Sadiesmom | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:47 pm     I'm sorry, I heard denial in heather and eve's voices. Like they were too tired to have to do this right, like they would not be made to walk somewhere <OH, that's right, they had to walk two miles at the beginning of the show> These girls were being princesses and not a credit to womanhood everywhere. So far Momily was the best representation of womanhood until India broke Mom. She was in her forties then, too IAN. Are you listening to me IAN |
Muse | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 08:58 pm     It was Michael, Babyruth. |
Bastable | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 09:04 pm     The Lawyerchicks thought they could manipulate and grease their way through that. They really did. They knew what the clue meant. They just thought they could bat their eyelashes and pretend to have misread it. That sort of playing-stupid gamesmanship has been part of their plan from the beginning. Girls who've gotten everything they wanted, and if they didn't, pouted for it. And it all backfired... because it doesn't work that way in the real world. Lawyers are scary people. For them, rules aren't absolute... they're only as good as how well you can argue around them. |
Dahli | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 09:30 pm     oooh Bastable - you 'scare' me a tad - when I read your posts - it's just like my thoughts are there in your typing... do do do do...... |
Twinkie | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 09:42 pm     A little while ago in chat I asked how in the world did these airheads get into Harvard....i forget who answered but it cracked me up.....maybe they "walked in". LOL Too funny considering the girls said maybe we can take a cab and then just walk into the pitstop. How dumb are these girls???? |
Bastable | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 09:48 pm     Oh, Twinkie, honey, you're not accepted into Harvard just 'cause you're smart. You usually go because of who your Daddy is (or because of how much money he has). Says a lot, doesn't it? (I do know some great folks who went to Harvard, mind you--but they all have rich or powerful parents.) |
Twinkie | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 09:56 pm     You mean like Texans with oil companies? Daddy can not only get you into Harvard but into the White House to follow in daddy's footsteps. hehehe |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 10:03 pm     i would be afraid to have either of them as attorneys, if they don't know what 'walk' means. i couldn't believe it when one said, "maybe it means walk in when we get there." yeah, right.... and neither one could drive a stick?! they deserve to be gone! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 10:03 pm     My son was accepted to Harvard and he declined. We are not rich or powerful, though I will admit to being pesky and a shoe snob. They do realize merit. My son is very bright. He chose Weslyan instead, more left wing. Harvard was too straight, uptight and competitive for his sensibilites. |
Lycanthrope | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 11:29 pm     Gotta chime in with a positive post for the lawyers. It's real easy to bash them, and I see many of you have decided to do that. So I figure I'll go the other way. First of all, to get THROUGH Harvard Law School, you can't be stupid. In fact, you have to be pretty darn bright. And whoever they're daddies are may matter during the admission process, but graduating is the true test of the student. Whether they got in on scholarship or daddies money goes out the door when you have to hit the classroom for all those years and work your ass off to get your degree. And last, there is a huge difference between book smart and street smart. And I concede the point that they weren't very street smart. In our modern times, a lot of young people have never driven a stick shift. I learned on an automatic myself, and then it was hell to learn to drive a stick a few years later. Maybe they've been pampered to a certain extent, especially Eve, but don't judge their character on that fact alone. The day Eve jumped out of that airplane was phenomenal for her. She really had to conquer a fear big time. And she did. And yeah, they begged for money, but that's a strategy. They used what they had to gain an advantage. That's the name of the game. Eve wasn't a strong player overall, I agree. But Heather was. Pair her up with an equally strong and competitive player, and she's not eliminated so early. And finally, I have to say that they weren't my favorite team, but they weren't my least favorite either. Flame me if you like folks, but when I see people getting bashed like that pretty unanimously, I'm compelled to stick up for them.(except for Ian, he's a <mod>) Go John V. and Jill! |
Spear | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 11:50 pm     Some tidbits from the clips on the AR3 web site: - John Vito and Jill used a bartender's computer to go on the web and check flights from Scotland. (I thought this was one of the strange things about tonight's show -- John Vito and Jill started this leg three hours after the first teams but it looked like they took a cab to the airport at the same time as the preceding teams. Did it take three hours for the others to get tickets over the phone?) - Drew was hit in the face when he stopped a goal and he was sore during the walk to the pit stop. (My co-worker broke his forearm trying to stop a strong penalty kick and he had played plenty of soccer. When they revealed what the Roadblock was, I was half-expecting this to happen to somebody! Arianne looked especially vulnerable.) |
Abby7 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 12:49 am     fruitbat: i'm still trying to figure out your post from 7:15 (?or about) what does LA mean? Actually, since i have a feeling this is a really stupid question (that for some reason i asked) can someone tell me? fruitbat already responded she was from Michigan (and that is what added to my confusion and I don't even know why I asked fruitbat if she was from Louisiana..but whatever. |
Abby7 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 12:56 am     forgot to add...why did fruitbat say "when it comes on at midnight in LA" even with the satellite dish....it doesn't come on at midnight in Los Angeles. So is fruitbat saying...on her satellite dish in Michigan she gets TAR at midnight from LA. Yes, but LA means what? anyone? |
Abby7 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 01:01 am     oh, NEVERMIND (ALA GILDA RADNER..AGAIN)...she means she can get it by satellite from Michigan from Los Angeles (THUS THE LA?)...which is midnight fruitbat's time (my time in los angeles being 9pm). duh. again, per Gilda (my hero)..."NEVER MIND". |
Car54 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 02:09 am     Abby, Bat is in Massachusetts, but she is in her own time zone at all times. She can see any show, any time. |
Abby7 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 02:32 am     thanks Car54, i really appreciate your response. it was especially nice of you to explain the LA for me! i feel so stupid now (as i did before). |
Abby7 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 02:33 am     forgot the MA...DUH |
Ginger | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 06:07 am     Just for the record, George W and his rich Dadddy went to Yale. |
Wiseolowl | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 06:20 am     For those whoever read this thread again- just a lit tle sidenote from someone north of the border - Presidents who have graduated from Harvard include Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy. If memory serves me right , Teddy Kennedy never got through Harvard Law School - a little matter over exam ethics. |
