Lumbele | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:02 pm     You're welcome all. Good night! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:03 pm     If Ian and Teri win, I'll hurl. (something sharp, at Ian) |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:04 pm     Thanks a bunch Lumbele n Squared!! |
Csnog | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:06 pm     Ian is yelling over possession of a cab. |
Sadiesmom | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:07 pm     OK, Ian not my favorite, but I have to say, he handled the deisel thing calmly. They had their little discussion and he took care of it. If he were like that more, I might be able to bear him. That is the difference between 6th place and eigth place. No 5 star hotel waiting until moring to get the car fixed. Talk about giving up. That is a sign of a loser. |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:07 pm     Remember, no show next week due to the CMA's... next show is in 2 weeks..... |
Csnog | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:09 pm     Terri and Ian live near me and I don't like him either. |
Bastable | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:11 pm     Aww, be fair, Sadiesmom! Michael and Kathy, unlike us the viewers, had no way of knowing that three other teams were in the same position. They didn't quit--they still got to the finish line. They took a pretty cool approach: They made the best of a bad situation, and they decided that rather than mope they would enjoy the moment and check into a nice hotel. Reminds me of a certain team who went shopping in Hong Kong last year! |
Hippyt | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Ah,thanks Seamonkey!!! I was coming here to ask where have we seen those tannery vats before? Now I remember!That is some nasty stuff. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:15 pm     And Michael and Kathy went on this trip partly to get to know each other up close.. what better way? |
Avrey258 | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:22 pm     Can someone please tell me what Michael said at the finish line? Not one person in my family heard it because someone came to the door. My husband thinks he was saying that the relationship with Kathy was over. I don't think that's right? Anyone? Thanks |
Wiseolowl | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:27 pm     Avery I thought at first he meant the relationship was over - but am pretty sure what he meant was that their long distance relationship was over and he was going to have her move to the West Coast to be closer - a happy ending!! |
Tester | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:27 pm     I heard that Kathy had to move to San Diego to be with him. |
Abby7 | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:35 pm     where does kathy live? if she could work it out career-wise, san diego is truly a great place to live...so beautiful in every way. |
Sadiesmom | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:44 pm     I do not think Michael made the best of a bad deal. Everyone remembered they were in a race and had the car repaired 'toot suite'. First where did they get the money for everything, must have saved from earlier legs. I could not believe that they were having a lesurely meal. The lesurely meal would have been fine if their care was being worked on. More like the guidos in the hotel waiting 12 hours for their bus! I bet Phil was not happy, the Moroccan man was no longer standing with him to greet them. I wonder it there are reports from the camera man telling them how far behind they are or does Phil stand there until they come in. LOL. |
Bastable | Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 07:58 pm     Yeah, Phil asked if the long-distance relationship was over, and Michael said "Yes!" --meaning that from now on they wanted to be close to each other, a point which he very awkwardly made. Charming, really. Also charming the way Phil's voice broke and they didn't re-shoot it. |
Cynthia57 | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 07:08 am     Sadiesmom, the car company paid to get the car fixed. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 07:31 am     aaron said that kathy has, indeed, moved to san diego to be with michael. i'll bet there are phone calls made ahead so phil can get out of bed to greet the late, late, late couples! |
Wiseolowl | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 07:36 am     This in my view was the best episode yet. Aside from the deisel situation, the way the various routes were set up, there were no 5, 6 or seven hour delays between stops allowing the various teams to either catch up or fall too far behind. |
Sadiesmom | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Cynthia, The car company paid for the car with Michael. I don't know if anyone else had that pointed out to them. They may have paid themselves. Wise owl, There was a delay for the ferry. I think 911 had to wait about 3 hours until others showed up. |
Wiseolowl | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 06:35 pm     Sadie there were waits. You need those to separate the contestants . But we didn't have a situation where half way through the show they all caught up with each other. And when they did get separated , it was basically three teams still competing against each other. Had it not been for M@K making that bad decision re the car it would have been an exciting finish. Guess am saying that if you made the right move or performed well with one task - you weren't penalized for a new one by a wait for transportation. |
Kitt | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 06:54 pm     The thing I thought most interesting about this show was that if four teams hadn't had a problem with the diesel/petrol, then three of the first four teams to leave (twins, brothers, cop&fireman) would have been competing for last place, simply because they chose to do the first leg by train, not taxi. Usually that small a "mistake" (which it can hardly be classed as) would have been forgotten at some point where all the teams were equalised. And it looks like a similar problem might happen in the next episode. In the trailer the caption says "teams scramble to avoid elimination" and shows one of the twins, Ken (or is it G?) and Jill sprinting across a town square. I know the trailers are generally misleading, but it's worrying to see the top (and favourite) teams having trouble again. |
Muse | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 07:16 pm     Abby, Kathy lived in Michigan. I'm sure she's enjoying California living. I really liked Michael and Kathy (appreciated how they didn't fight, and I liked Mike's sarcasm since I'm a bit sarcastic myself), so I was sad to see them go. I'm getting very good at predicting who will be eliminated within the first thirty minutes of the show, though. People who aren't as familiar with TAR but watch it with me are impressed when I call it, but they don't know to look for the pretty obvious foreshadowing. Michael and Kathy pretty much gave up, but I wasn't too disappointed in them since I felt like they were always there more for the experience (and spending time together) than anything else. They seemed relatively okay with losing. And plus like others have mentioned - since they didn't figure out the problem right away, they probably just assumed they were far behind everyone else, with no chance of catching up. |
